It was currently evening, and there was still a day's journey before they reached Alabastan. However, the Lannister Pirates were very lively at this time.
"Morrie, what are you all doing?”Ronan walked out of the cabin and saw a group of people gathered on the deck. They were looking at something and making a lot of noise.
"Oh! Captain Morrie quickly turned around to greet Ronan when he saw him.
"What are you looking at?" Ronan walked forward, and the crew automatically gave him a gap.
In the middle of the crowd, a giant creature was lying on the deck. Its body was tied with a fishing net and it was struggling hard.
"It's like this, Captain. We were fishing just now and planned to drink fish soup tonight, but we didn't catch any fish.”Ross explained to Ronan.
In the fishing net, a two-meter-long, round sea beast lay there. The big ears on its head and the two arms that grew out made it look very cute. In short, it was a big cat with a fish tail.
"We were just discussing with the chef how to eat it." When the word "eat" was mentioned, the eyes of all the crew members lit up. Obviously, another benefit of coming to the Great Sea Route was that they could eat all kinds of things.
Now, their target was the guy who was shivering in the fishing net.
After Ronan heard this, he carefully sized up the big cat that was tied up in the fishing net. It was trembling in fear and looked a little pitiful…To be exact, it was a sea beast called the Sea Cat.
"This should be a sea cat." The reason he recognized it was because this cute looking big cat had appeared in the original novel. "Moreover, it's a juvenile…"
Ronan had no intention of eating it at all."Alright, don't eat it. It's a sacred object of Arabastan. You have to respect their rules when you're in their territory."”
The crew members smiled awkwardly. They really didn't know that this thing was actually a sacred object of Arabastan. If they really ate it, they would probably be in big trouble.
The sea cat in the fishing net could no longer feel the "cannibal" gaze coming from its side. It rubbed its head with its claws in a human-like manner and heaved a sigh of relief, causing the surrounding crew members to laugh.
However, the crew felt that it was a pity that they couldn't taste the delicious thing in front of them. However, they naturally had to abide by the captain's orders. Anyway, there were plenty of delicious things to eat, so they didn't have to worry about a sea cat.
"However, we can't just let it go like this. We'll keep it for now so that it can be used as a means of transportation in the future.”
Although Ronan did not eat it, he did not intend to let this poor fellow go. It was his fault for bumping into his boat's net.
"Once it's in your hands, it's in your hands. Even if it's useless to you, you won't give it up easily." This was Ronan's creed.
Most of the Sea Kings in the Pirate World had intelligence that was not inferior to humans. Therefore, there were many pirate groups that controlled the Sea Kings in the Great Sea Route. For example, the sea snakes of the Nine Snakes and the manatees of the Murloc Pirates belonged to these intelligent sea beasts.
Now, Ronan also planned to raise a sea beast. His target was the sea cat in front of him, which was obviously very intelligent.
Even though this Seacat was not considered big even if it was an adult, about ten meters or so, it could not fight bravely. However, he did not want it to fight at all. He did not even think of letting it pull the boat.
Ronan only planned to use it as a means of transportation like the penguin in the original novel. He had been envious of it for a long time when he had read the manga.
First, he sent a kind message to appease the restless Sea Cats. Then, Ronan turned around and mercilessly ordered the crew to throw the unlucky little guy into his fish tank.
"Let's keep it for now. When it grows up, we'll use it as a means of transportation.”These were Ronan's original words.
After settling this, Ronan called Morrie to the side alone after the crew dispersed.
It had to be said that Morrie's recent training was very effective.
He was not weak to begin with, and now he had the strength of a lieutenant colonel. In the Lannister Pirates, he could be said to be the strongest person after Ronan and Monet.
This time, Ronan had called him over with the intention of making him a figure who could take charge of an area alone. After all, Lannister's foundation was still too shallow, and they urgently needed to improve their overall strength!
Ronan's choice was simple. He gave his subordinates the treasure known as the secret treasure of the sea, the Demon Fruit.
Ronan took out a devil fruit that he had snatched from the naval base and placed it in front of Morrie.
"Do you know what this is? Morrie."
The brownish-yellow fruit on the table attracted Morrie's attention.
"Ew... Demon Fruit?" Morrie naturally knew what it was. Ronan had eaten the Devil's Fruit, so he had naturally done his own research. This strange color and this wonderful pattern was the Devil's Fruit!
Looking at Mori, he smiled and reached out to push the Devil's Fruit towards Mori.
"This is an animal-type demon fruit. It will be of great help to you in increasing your strength! I've seen how busy you've been for the group. It's been hard on you, you deserve it.”
Ronan understood that he couldn't just order the crew around and show off in front of them. Instead, he had to give them appropriate encouragement and rewards. Only with rewards and punishments could he form a pirate group better.
"This... Captain, this is what I should do!”Morrie couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. Ronan had brought him out of White Town, and he was loyal to Ronan.
In his opinion, it was only right for him to do so, but he didn't mention Ronan and didn't forget about him. This made him extremely excited.
"Eat it and work hard to increase your strength! Conquering the great sea route was not possible without strength.”
Ronan's words came from the bottom of his heart. His path was destined to be full of challenges. Those without strength were destined to not be able to reach the end with him.
After hearing this, Morrie nodded firmly and excitedly. He grabbed the devil fruit on the table and swallowed it!
