New world, a certain island.
The steel battleship reflecting the metallic luster is docked here.
In the woods where insects and birds chirped, Eric was drawing the summoning array. The complex patterns were slowly being outlined, and the bright red lines, with a hint of a contract with the devil, were slowly closing.
Deidara was sitting on a branch, playing with the mud idly.
Arturia held the pancakes in her hands, and the sound of chewing them even drowned out the chirping of birds.
One person with red eyes and black eyes held a lollipop in his mouth, sucking on it and making a sizzling sound.
"..." Eric's wrist paused, almost making a mark.
"Finally it's done." Bending over to paint is a laborious task. Eric moved his waist back and forth. Fortunately, he only had to copy lines that others could not see. Otherwise, with Eric's skill as a painter, he would probably be so angry that he would burn the system. He grabbed Eric by the collar and asked him if he had ever taken an art class.
Putting the thread fruit into the summoning circle, the surrounding companions also became energetic.
"The dead wandering in the sea of death, obey my order of pardon! Show yourself——!"
"Wow, the words about brother-in-law are a bit off-kilter..."
"Pfft" Eric was caught off guard and was stabbed.
The black whirlwind surrounded the magic circle, and the bright red lines revealed a scarlet brilliance. The two tones were intertwined, and a trembling aura rushed towards the face.
Until the whirlwind dissipated and the light disappeared, a man in a black trench coat stood in front of everyone.
"Hey." Deidara suddenly became energetic. The newcomer was a fellow countryman he knew, and he immediately greeted him: "Brother Kakuto, I heard that you were defeated by the Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tails? How did you die? Hmm. "
With a cheerful and out-of-the-box tone, and an accent of "hmm" at the end, Kakuzu could recognize who the speaker was even if he closed his eyes.
"Deidara?" Kakuzu lowered his head, stared at his right hand with his green eyes, and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
"Well..." Deidara pointed his head with his finger, thinking carefully about his words: "You should know that you died at the hands of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and Kakashi, right?"
"Ah~" Kakuzu admitted, deducing from it: "That jutsu - it is indeed terrible. But, then, you have also died. It must have been caused by an explosion."
Kakuzu's words made Deidara tremble, and he immediately protested loudly: "I became art itself through death, using an explosion that has never been seen before, leaving an unprecedented scar on that land!"
"That land?" Kakuzu Akira noticed something suspicious and frowned and asked, "Where is this place?"
Deidara yelled: "You should listen to me!"
"So, these people are your new partners?" Kakuzu had already noticed Eric and others. They neither attacked nor talked to each other, but just watched Deidara and Kakuzu talking.
Kakuzu can only draw this conclusion temporarily. Whether he is a friend or not, he still needs to dig up new information. He can only find the answer from his former companion Deidara.
"Yes." Deidara shrugged and introduced, "You were specially summoned here by Boss Eric."
"Boss Eric?" Kakuzu repeated and asked in a low voice: "What is the reason why you summoned me from death?"
'The feeling of pain means that there is a physical body. It is not reincarnation from the filthy earth, but a real resurrection. Kakuzu just pinched him with his left hand hidden in his sleeve. "The murderous intention he had just now was not suppressed, which proves that his mind was not controlled." '
'But -' Kakuzu glanced at the women around Eric, 'at the moment when they had murderous intent, those women, although not obvious, did move their hands to the weapons. Their strength is not weak...'
"Don't be so nervous." Eric smiled and stretched out his hands, indicating that he had no ill intentions and directly solicited: "I am recruiting companions. You are good at it. Can you be my companion?"

Kakuzu, wearing a black mask, asked in an emotionless voice: "What do you need me to do?"
"You like money very much, right?" Eric said with a smile: "There are many bounties on criminals in this world. From today on, the financial manager of the Dawn Pirates is yours!"
"Oh?" Kakuzu found that he had some extra knowledge about the pirate world in his mind, "You want me to be a pirate hunter? To catch those wanted pirates?"
"That's right, you only need to hand over half of the bounty for catching pirates, and you can use the rest." Eric smiled and said, "How about it, is it better than the treatment you received in the Akatsuki organization?"
Kakuzu immediately replied: "I am willing to join the Dawn Pirates."
[Ding... Kakuzu's favorability has increased significantly, the bond level has increased from 1 (ordinary friend) to 2 (close friend), and 1 bond point has been gained. 】
Eric complained in his mind: 'You love money too much! '
Deidara also complained: "Hey, brother Kakuzu, you betrayed too quickly."
"You still have the nerve to accuse me?" Kakuzu replied: "Aren't you the same?"
"I'm going to drag Sasuke along with me to blow myself up!"
"I was killed five times by the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki and Kakashi." Kakuzu replied coldly: "I have accomplished a lot of things for the Akatsuki organization, not to mention this is not the ninja world, so it doesn't matter anymore. "
"It's so cold." Deidara spread his hands and said, "I had a fight with Boss Eric before joining the Dawn Pirates."
"Such a loss."
"Knock!" Dilada's eyes widened and he waved a fist: "Asshole! Do you want to fight?!"
"Okay, let me teach you a lesson, you little blast escape brat." Kakuzu is not to be outdone. He has rich combat experience. A guy who has survived from the brutal war period to this day will not be afraid of fighting the brat in front of him.
"Okay, Deidara, Kakuzu." Eric stopped him and said to Kakuzu: "You only have one heart now, why don't you hurry up and replace the remaining four?"
Kakuzu, who has a high level of business intelligence, decided to give the new organization boss a face, "I'll fill my heart first, and then I'll fight with you."
Suddenly remembering something, he stopped and asked, "Do you know how Hidan is doing?"
"Is he dead?" Deidara said he was unclear: "I disappeared with you."
Eric answered for him: "Although he is not dead, he is no different from being dead. Hidan's body was blown to pieces, leaving only one head that can speak, and he was buried alive in a deep hole."
"Really?" Kakuzu cursed angrily: "This trash can't even defeat a kid from Konoha, and he even broke one of my hearts. What a bastard of the evil god cult believer!"
"Brother Kakuzu, you and Hidan have such a good relationship."
"Say one more word and I will use your heart to replenish the remaining hearts!"
