Sasaki was lost in thoughts as he contemplated on what Nate just said, his dream of becoming the strongest swordsman who wields the true Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū can still be achieved while being a pirate.
”Fine. I will join your crew but under a condition.” said Sasaki ”I will not hesitate to leave your crew if you hurt innocents with your pirating.”
”That's fine. You can stop me if you think I will be hurting innocents with my actions.” said Nate
”Welcome to the crew.” said Rin
”Hmm.. That reminds me where is your ship?” asked Sasaki ”This island is filled with Marines, although corrupted they will still hunt down any pirates if they see one.”
”We don't have one yet. We have been using a broken boat so far.” scowled Rin while staring at Nate.
”Hahaha... It will be alright guys” said Nate while laughing.
After successfully inviting Sasaki to the crew, Nate and the crew went to have some breakfast much to Rin's delight.
While those three were devouring through plates after plates of food, the Marines were frantically searching for a swordsman. Most of the streets was crowded with soldiers as they went around interrogating the citizens. The head of the Marine Base on this island was a Captain know for his tyranny and cruelty, he used be an officer on the Grand Line who got transferred due to an injury that he received on a battle against some pirates.
Although his strength has dropped from what it used to be, here on this weakest of the he could undoubtedly reign as supreme. When he heard that someone actually dared to kill his subordinates who he sent to collect taxes, he was furious beyond belief. He ordered his men to find and capture that swordsman so that he can publicly execute him as an example of those who oppose him.
After the three had their fill, Rin decide to continue shopping and stock up on the food supply since there is an extra mouth to feed now. They decided to meet up on the harbor by noon or so. Nate paid the innkeeper for the food and accommodation and left with Sasaki hoping to buy some newclothes.
