Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 57 took a tremendous amount of effort...

After eating and drinking his fill, Luffy lay on the ground with a satisfied look on his face, not even wiping the grease from the corners of his mouth. He lifted his clothes and kept rubbing his stomach in circles with both hands.

Turning his head to look at Kyle, he asked curiously:

"Kyle! This barbecue tastes much better than before!"

"Remove 'seems like' to show respect for my new chef!"

As he spoke, Kyle slightly turned to the side and pointed to Zeff on the other side, introducing him to Luffy:

Let me introduce you!

"This is the chef I went to great lengths to bring back; you can just call him Uncle Zhefu!"

As he spoke, Kyle shifted his gaze from Luffy, glanced at the others around him, and said in a tone that suggested he was thinking of them:

"To ensure you eat better and have more energy for training, I went to great lengths to find Uncle Zhefu and persuade him to come back as our chef!"

"The manpower, material resources, and financial resources consumed during this period are immeasurable, and I will personally be responsible for Uncle Zhefu's salary from now on!"

"But I don't care about any of that, and I don't need anything in return. Just focus on becoming stronger and an excellent naval officer, and everything I've done will be worth it!"

!!!

As soon as these words were spoken, all the kids turned to look at Kyle.

Their eyes narrowed; at that moment, the light emanating from Kyle stung their eyes!

Only Zeff, standing to the side, stared at Kyle with a strange expression, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

It took a lot of effort to get him back to be a chef.

He only remembered that someone had given him three choices.

His salary was indeed not low, but the problem was that the so-called treasure that Kyle took from him was enough to pay him more than a lifetime's salary!

But he couldn't say these things, at least not now, otherwise he felt Kyle would definitely be happy to have a long talk with him about life's great principles!

Feeling the admiring gazes of the kids around him, Kyle couldn't help but smile.

As the eldest brother, I have to maintain a good image from time to time, and I certainly can't neglect my prestige!

Then Kyle pulled Sanji over and said to Luffy:

"Luffy, let me introduce you to someone else!"

Kyle patted Sanji on the shoulder.

"His name is Sanji, and he'll be a member of our little group from now on!"

"By the way, he's also a chef, but for now, his skills are just so-so!"

! !

Upon hearing this, Sanji abruptly turned to look at Kyle and shouted:

"Kyle! Couldn't you have just said that last sentence?!"

When Sanji first saw Kyle, he felt a mixture of awe and a little fear.

But as he got to know Kyle better, he gradually overturned his initial impression of Kyle.

Kyle is very kind to his friends, and he doesn't act arrogant at all despite his strength. He even jokes around with them every day.

So now he's yelling at Kael just like Luffy and the others.

Suddenly, a voice entered Sanji's ears.

"Hey! Kuina, don't you think this guy's weird? His eyebrows are curled!"

!!!

Sanji's pupils widened instantly, his sharp, eagle-like eyes instantly identifying his target.

A green seaweed was tilting its head slightly toward a beautiful girl, glancing at her every now and then.

In an instant, a surge of inexplicable anger welled up in Sanji's heart. For some reason, he felt a strange displeasure towards the green seaweed, and instinctively blurted out:

"Hey! You over there with the green hair, what bad things are you saying about me?"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Zoro frowned, looked at Sanji, and spoke with an innate disdain:

"Huh? Curly eyebrows, what did you say?"

"You green algae-head, are you looking for death?"

Sanji immediately jumped in front of Zoro, glaring at him angrily.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you curly-browed guy?"

Zoro was equally unyielding, jumping in front of Sanji as well, with the two less than twenty centimeters apart.

Their eyes were fixed on each other when their heads bumped together.

The two men bared their teeth, like two huskies poised to pounce.

The two of them were pushing each other's heads back and forth, pulling and tugging at each other.

But the next second, the two felt their bodies suddenly lighten, and when they looked down instinctively, they saw that their feet had left the ground.

Kyle's irritated voice came from beside me.

Are you two comparing whose teeth are whiter?

Kyle carried one person in each hand, a hint of helplessness on his face.

These two are just naturally at odds, aren't they?

Separating the two to one side, Kyle glanced at everyone, then cleared his throat and said:

"Next, I have something very important to discuss with you!"

Kyle's tone and expression were extremely serious. Seeing this, everyone put away their playful smiles and turned their gazes to Kyle, their young faces also full of seriousness, waiting for Kyle to speak.

"As our group grows larger, I think we need to give our group a name!"

"Otherwise, always calling ourselves a 'small group' is a bit low-class! When we go out to catch pirates and introduce ourselves, we won't feel very impressive!"

"Think about it!"

"If you encounter pirates and shout 'I'm so-and-so from the Marine Headquarters, holding such-and-such a high rank,' do you think that sounds impressive and classy?"

"Obviously not!"

"When you're out and about, you absolutely can't be lacking in style or presence!"

"So if we were to give our little group a name at this point, it would look like this when we encounter the enemy..."

At this point, Kyle paused, his expression becoming incredibly arrogant.

"I am the captain of the Navy Headquarters' strongest special forces unit, XX Squad, the embodiment of justice, the nemesis of evil, Thor~~ Kyle!!!"

In an instant, a strong sense of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) overflowed from the screen. A normal person might find this awkward, but Luffy and his crew widened their eyes in shock.

Goosebumps covered my entire body at that moment.

This is just... way too cool!!!

(☆▽☆)！

Luffy was the first to raise his hand and shout:

"Okay, okay! I agree!! Then I'll be the embodiment of justice, the nemesis of evil, the Marine King~~ Luffy!!!"

As he spoke, Luffy became incredibly energetic, and an inexplicable aura burst forth from him, making the others feel a surge of excitement.

But they didn't join in the chanting because they hadn't decided on their own titles yet.

I need to think about this carefully; it has to be a powerful and sophisticated title!

After a moment, Kuina asked:

"So, what should we name our team?"
