[Monthly Task 4: Achieve a five-person team]
'Um? Aren’t there already five of us? ’ Eric wondered.

'Aren't you discriminating against NPCs in One Piece? This is blatant discrimination! '
…
We sailed for two days in beautiful and windy weather.
"Be careful! There is a huge wave behind!" Chiron, as a lookout, reminded everyone.
"It's so strange. The temperature and humidity are very stable. It should have entered the climate and sea area of an island. How could there be such extreme waves?" Leonardo da Vinci, a navigator, was suspicious of the cause of the formation of this huge wave.
"Many huge monkey faces can be seen in the huge waves. It is estimated that this huge wave is caused by monkeys in the sea." Chiron reported what he saw to Leonardo da Vinci, adding his own opinion by the way.
"It's up to me now!" Eric, who had just eaten the Thunder Fruit, had not experienced actual combat, but he had been developing the fruit's abilities in the past few days and was eager to use his abilities in battle.
"Ten million volts, discharge!" Eric's right hand turned into blue lightning, and a blue current with a diameter of two meters was instantly excited and shot towards the huge waves that were coming.
"Boom!" The electric current came into contact with the seawater, causing a violent explosion. A wave like a wall tens of meters high also fell down. Dozens of sea monkeys in the wave were stunned by the electric current, and only about one-third of them remained. The sea monkey immediately turned around and ran away after seeing such a scene.
"Is this an electric fish?" Not only were the sea monkeys floating belly-up on the sea, but many fish in the sea had also turned over their belly, "Sin, sin, I will eat you gratefully. Chitong, grab a tool and fish it out. It’s fish!”
Chitong, a foodie, had already prepared a fishing net larger than a human and a bucket to hold the ingredients.
"These are enough, there is no need for them. The remaining fish will be eaten by other creatures, which can be regarded as a cycle in the ecological environment." After fishing out the whole boat, it was seafood. Da Vinci stopped Chi Hitomi, she doesn't want to smell like the sea.
"What to do with those sea monkeys?" Chiron asked. Only a few of the sea monkeys were killed by the current because they were too close to the current contact point, and most of the others were in coma.
"Kill half of them?"
"Huh?" Chiron was a little confused. After all, Eric rarely killed animals on a large scale. Even if Chitong hunted too much, he would stop it, saying that he wanted to protect the ecological environment.
"Think about it, Chiron, if ordinary people encountered such huge waves, they would have been overturned and buried in the belly of the fish. And if there were too many of these sea monkeys, many such things might happen. .”
"Then why kill half of them?" Kulikai was a little confused, why not solve them all, so that there would be no such huge waves, and there would be no shipwrecks in which the ship was capsized by the huge waves.
"If the number of sea monkeys is reduced too much, it may cause another kind of environmental damage - the loss of biological chains, and even lead to an imbalance in the ecosystem. Even humans will be greatly affected. After all, these sea monkeys have always existed. It has not been completely eliminated, it has a reason for its existence.”
"I see." Kulikai suddenly realized and asked, "Isn't the reason why they have always existed is because they are still very difficult to deal with in the sea?"
"Ahao~! Ahao~! (Idiot)" A crow flew over...
"I saw the island ahead, and there are two pirate ships docked."
"They seem to be holding some sort of event, it's very lively."
There were many stalls set up in the camps of the two pirate groups in the distance, and the ropes above their heads were filled with balloons of various colors, creating a cheerful atmosphere like a carnival.
"Hey! We are having the Davy Back Fight among pirates! Ordinary people should not get involved." These gangsters did not try to rob, but drove them away.
"We are also a pirate group, here for sightseeing."
"Are you a pirate group?" The little pirate raised his head and glanced at the mast top of the small sailboat, and then at the position of the main sail: "You don't even have a pirate flag! And with such a small number of people, it can't be Did you lose the David battle?"
"We are an elite team and we don't look down on a little guy like you." Eric said something rude, which immediately aroused the anger of the person opposite.
"What did you say!" The other person was furious.
At this moment, bursts of cheers erupted in the huge stadium-like building.
"Haha, did you win again?"
"That's right, we are the Foxy Pirates who have been undefeated for 257 consecutive games!"
The pirate minions on the opposite side are very confident that their boss will participate in the Davy Back Fight. Not only can they win good companions, but if they don't like the one they are interested in, they can also seize the pirate flag on the opposite side, and the flag taken away from the loser will never be displayed again. rise.
"Coffee, off, off, your pirate flag belongs to me!" The despicable Foxy used his unique laugh to deprive the pirates of the pirate flag that they regarded as their life.
"Huh? Ordinary people?" Foxy saw Eric and everyone: "No! It's the new three-person pirate group!"
"'Vicious Pirate' Darren Eric has a bounty of 45 million Baileys;"
"'Hunter' Red Eyes has a bounty of 23 million Baileys;"
"'Sagittarius' Chiron has a bounty of 98 million beli."
Looking at the reward order in his hand, the still young Bolqi said: "The total reward amount for just three people is 166 million beli, which is really rare. Huh? Why are there five people?"
"Aren't you allowed to recruit people?" Eric mocked.
"Disgusting~" The voice was so squeaky that it made Eric's bones tingle. The current Bolki is estimated to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. Her figure is still that of a girl, and her nose has not grown longer due to the short time she spent with Foxy. She is very delicate and is Eric's favorite.
"ジー(Staring)" The two ladies on the boat stared at Eric.
Foxy stretched out his right hand, holding 3 coins between his four fingers and said: "We, the Foxy Pirates, are here to challenge you... um..."
Since Eric didn't hang the pirate flag and didn't announce the name of his pirate group, Foxy didn't know what to call it.
"What is the name of your pirate group? Why don't you fly the pirate flag!" asked angrily.
"We haven't even thought about the name of the pirate group or decided on the pirate flag, but we were put on a bounty. What can we do?" Eric explained helplessly. After all, the system is rushing him to become a pirate.
【Do you have any opinion? 】
'No, boss. '
"...Challenge your five-man pirate team! Now officially issue a three-coin challenge to the David Contest!"
"He said so. The David Contest is a competition to snatch the flags of your companions and pirates. What should I do? Do you want to accept it?" Eric turned around to discuss with his four companions. After all, he was not a fool like Straw Hat and agreed blindly. .
"According to the knowledge I have, this kind of competition will definitely be unfair and there will be tricks." Chiron, as a strategist, put forward his own opinion: "Be careful of them cheating."
"Well, the guy opposite is despicable, I know that very well."
"Split...split slot head..." Foxy fell to his knees.
"Boss! Do you know how to speak? Boss is easily injured." Bolqi was quite protective of her captain.
"Since the captain has taken precautions, let's leave it to the captain to decide." Chiron handed the decision to Eric.
"Yes." The others nodded in agreement.
"Okay! I accept your challenge for David's Hegemony." Eric, who had other plans in mind, turned around and accepted the competition.
"Hmph, I want you to know how powerful I am." Foxy showed a smile that made you want to punch him.
