"I'm just a newbie at stealing, and if you let me live, I'll join your crew and serve you as long as you want." Carina said with a desperate expression on her face as the clock ticked away.

"Really, you should know that if you become part of my crew, then only in death will you be able to leave the crew, and you still want to join." Leo asked as he put the chair back in his storage.

'Do I even have a choice?' Carina thought while smiling at him.

"Yes, I would love to join your crew, so what will be my duties?" Carina asked as she mentally prepared herself to be his bed warmer.

"You will be our musician as well as our accountant for now." Leo says. "And don't worry, no one will ask you to do anything you don't want to."

"Now, follow me," Leo said as the chains around her arms and neck opened and freed her.

.

"Time up." Leo says as he enters the cell while leaving Carina outside the cell. "So, what is your decision?"

"How can I believe that you will be able to defeat Arlong?" Nami asked with a firm expression on her face, but he could clearly see the hope in her eyes.

"Well, whatever I say about my strength will only look like I am lying to you, right?" Leo says before gazing into her eyes.

"Because for, you fisherman will always be stronger than humans, right?" Leo asked before chuckling lightly.

"And why are you laughing about it as you should know that fishermen are ten times stronger than humans?" Nami explained what she knew about them from Arlong.

"Hahaha, you are only partly right about it, as fishermen are ten times stronger than average untrained humans." Leo says, "But, the key word is average untrained humans."

"Because if we go by your logic, then the most powerful man in this world should be a fisherman, right?" Leo asked her.

Nami was silent after hearing his words as she had to be a fool if she could not understand the meaning of his words.

"So, fishermen are not as powerful as Arlong makes them out to be?" Nami asked with a hopeful expression on her face.

"No, they are powerful." Leo says before chuckling as he saw her face change from a hopeful to a downcast look. "But, only for the people of this sea as there are few people that can deal with them in this sea."

"And you must be one of them, right?" Nami asks sarcastically.

"Yes, and not only me, but both of my crew members can also handle him." Leo replied in a confident tone, knowing that Zoro had the ability to take on Arlong and win.

Let's not mention Rindou, who has eaten a Special Paramecia and can use intermediate-level observation haki. Therefore, she can easily beat him, and maybe she will make shark sushi of him.

As, she is intrigued by a fisherman after seeing them on crew cards and wondering whether they could be used as a unique ingredient.

"You're joking, right? You just said there are few people in this sea who could beat Arlong, and now you're saying all your crew members can defeat him, as though it's not that big of a deal." Nami remarked as she wasn't expecting him to beat Arlong and now he's saying that the power level of Arlong is just a joke among his crew.

"You only need to know that Arlong is not as strong as he says because if he were that strong, he wouldn't be ruling over some unimportant island in the weakest sea but some island in the new world." Leo replied in an annoyed tone as his patience is running out.

"Look, I would just say this once, okay." Leo says while making it clear that he runs out of patience, "I can beat Arlong, and quite easily at that, and now your choice."

"Wait, I still want to ask more things from you." Nami said while trying to make a cute expression.

"Maybe, I was a bit too light on my approach." Leo muttered as he released a small burst of his conqueror haki on her while controlling the intensity so she could not fall unconscious.

The moment the wave of conqueror haki falls on her, it shakes her to the core, and she finally remembers that she is a prisoner of him.

"Now that you are back to reality, I will ask you again, what is your answer." Leo asked with a cold look on his face.

'Shit Shit Shit, I got too comfortable while talking to him that I totally forgot that I am still a prisoner that tried to steal from his ship.' Nami thought as she started to sweat heavily.

"I will accept your offer." Nami muttered in a frightened voice.

"And which one is it? I hope it is the second one." Leo asked with a sweet smile on his face.

"I have chosen the first one, please I still want to live a long life." Nami said in a hurry when she heard him say the second choice as she didn't want to die yet.

"Good, now follow me to the hall," Leo chuckled at her response as he exited the cell with now freed Nami trying to match his pace.

When Carina and Nami saw each other, they just nodded to each other in understanding at each other and continued to follow him silently.

Leo had already sent a message to them telling them to arrive at the hall as they were walking.

So, when they reached it, both of them were sitting in their seats while waiting for them.

"So, both of them agreed to become part of a crew, so quickly, color me surprised." Rindou says as she was not expecting Leo to make them join the crew this easily.

"I already said that he had this." Zoro says as he opens his palm in front of Rindou.

In response, Rindou put 10,000 berries in his hand.

Which Zoro quickly puts in his storage with a smirk on his face.

"Okay, can I ask some things?" Carina says as she looks at Leo for confirmation, at which he nods his head.

"Can they also pull things out of thin air like he does? I thought that was your special power?" Carina asked in confusion since if he could do it, then that could also be explained as his special power, but the whole crew could pull it off as well.

"Since you both are about to join our crew, so I think an explanation is needed," Leo then continued on and explained to them the rules of the crew and about the crew card.

After a few minutes of non-stop speaking, Leo finally finished explaining all about the rules, crew cards, their dreams, and other small things to them.

When they heard his simple explanation, Nami and Carina had a smile on their faces, but only one thought in their heads.

'They are on a crew full of maniacs.'

Sorry for the late chapter, had a date last evening, and after that, I was busy... with some intense work...out
