Everyone turned in unison to look at Kevin.
Tears were in their eyes.
They rushed towards Kevin, overjoyed.
"It's good that you're back." Gion held Kevin tightly.
Even though she knew he could be revived.
She still couldn't help but worry.
"He's really back." Shaki had been unable to believe it, watching Kevin standing alive before her.
She also couldn't hold back.
She turned her head and gently wiped the excited tears from the corners of her eyes.
Gion's embrace of Kevin tightened: "Kevin, next time… no! From now on, I won't leave again."
"Captain, we Pirate Crew members also want to fight."
Stussy and Hancock.
Both of them had the same firm gaze as Gion.
"We will never allow the Captain to be ambushed or outnumbered again."
Kevin looked at them.
Even Kuina held her blade tightly, with the same look in her eyes.
Kevin nodded heavily: "Good!"
After the excitement.
The women stayed gathered around Kevin, unwilling to leave.
After he had left.
They had deeply realized that without their Captain, without Kevin, their hearts felt empty, and they lacked their backbone.
Kevin, being served by everyone.
Calmly recounted the details of the recent battle to them.
"There was even Zephyr! The Marines are too shameless; three against one wasn't enough, so they even sent Zephyr."
Hancock's eyes were cold as she looked towards the sea behind them.
She wished she could go back immediately and help Kevin get even.
Powerful Conqueror's Haki erupted from Hancock, continuously growing and surpassing many seasoned Conqueror's Haki users.
"After ganging up on Kevin, it won't be long before I make the Marines suffer the same fate."
Lightning crackled around Stussy's hand, her eyes equally cold: "Captain, why don't we counterattack now?"
As soon as the suggestion was made,
everyone looked at Kevin with anticipation.
Yes.
Go back and reclaim their honor.
"Kevin, you've used your resurrection condition this month, so this time, why don't you stay on the ship and we'll go."
Flames blazed around Gion.
"No hurry."
Kevin appeased them.
"It definitely won't end like this."
After faking his death,
Kevin didn't plan to pretend to be dead forever.
"Let me see if there's an important date, and then we'll all go together and give the Marines and the World Government an unforgettable lesson for life."
Killing intent filled Kevin's eyes.
Being surrounded and hunted down was not a pleasant experience.
Although his combat experience and strength had both improved,
the taste of death was not good!
A direct counterattack now would create a big stir and have a good impact, but it wouldn't fully utilize this opportunity.
Kevin wanted more.
He wanted to deliver a heavy blow to the Marines and the World Government on the day they valued and were most proud of.
After calming them down,
Kevin looked at Shaki.
"Shaki, what are your plans now? We can't go back to Sabaody Archipelago for a while."
Kevin looked at Shaki apologetically.
He had disrupted her reclusive life.
"As long as Captain Kevin doesn't dislike me, then I'll follow Captain Kevin."
Shaki had already made up her mind before Kevin returned.
Since fate had arranged for her to be homeless, Shaki decided to follow her heart's desire.
"I should still have some strength, and I'll try my best not to be a burden."
"Shaki, don't worry, I'll develop the Immortality Surgery ability as soon as possible, and then you'll be immortal, so you won't have to worry about getting old."
Shaki looked at Belo Betty.
She still knew Tomorrow and its other 883 secrets.
She had been shocked many times.
"Then Big Sis will be waiting for you."
Shaki looked at Belo Betty expectantly.
But she also knew.
It would still take many years for Belo Betty to reach the level of being able to use the Immortality Surgery.
She only hoped that before she lost her combat power, she could help the Sun and Moon Pirates.
"Shaki, don't worry, there's a Devil Fruit that can immediately solve your problem."
Kevin said, "Now we'll immediately go to the New World to get this Devil Fruit."
Shaki looked at Kevin in surprise.
Are there other fruits that can counteract the erosion of time?
Besides the Immortality Surgery, Kevin, do you have a second method to deal with the despair of aging?
At this moment,
Kevin's voice seemed incredibly grand and mysterious in Shaki's eyes.
"Zoan-Bat Fruit-Mythical Vampire Form!"
Kevin told Shaki the name, ability, and location of the fruit.
Shaki's breathing quickened.
It was simply a Devil Fruit tailor-made for her.
"Kevin, Big Sis doesn't even know how to repay you."
Kevin looked at the enthusiastic Shaki: "Shaki, there's no need to be so polite, you're a crew member, and I'm the Captain."
"Then Captain Kevin, from now on, Big Sis's life is in your hands."
Shaki stood up, seriously and earnestly bowing to Kevin, to the Captain.
Shaki: Officially joined the Pirate Crew.
Navigator and Informant: Shaki [Non-ability user, Combat Power: 60312.]
"To the New World."
First, they would go to the New World to help Shaki obtain the Mythical Zoan Vampire form, while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack the Marines.
Just then,
"Beep beep beep!"
Rayleigh's call came in.
