The newcomers, needless to say, were Core Wolf, Azure Phoenix, Hulk, and Paco.
These four had already gained notoriety for successfully attacking Garp, so Rocks naturally paid close attention to them, especially since they were all currently active in the first half of Paradise.
Moreover, they were all heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago, all of them strong, and all about to enter the New World.
Because of this, Rocks naturally kept a close eye on them.
But later, Rocks realized something was off: how could Garp have been attacked less than half a day after that war ended?
Connecting this to his Granddaughter, Luna, who was deeply powerful, strong, and mysterious, he quickly linked these four to her.
That's how Rocks's previous question came about.
After some conversation, now that Rocks saw the giant turtle and the four people on it, how could he not recognize who the newcomers were?
He immediately burst into satisfied laughter.
Meanwhile, Core Wolf and the others naturally spotted Rocks and his Pirate Crew.
Remembering Luna's instructions, Paco immediately ordered the giant turtle to approach.
The two sides quickly met, less than 50 meters apart.
"You must be Luna's grandfather, Rocks, the former overlord of the seas."
Core Wolf was somewhat the leader of the four, so he stepped forward to speak on their behalf.
"Hahahahaha, that's right, it's me! I want to ask a question first: how did you recently get to know me?"
Rocks laughed heartily again, crossing his arms over his chest, but at the same time, he was genuinely curious about this question, so he immediately asked.
Core Wolf and the others had already prepared their explanation, so they quickly explained, making Rocks believe them, especially with Luna acting as a sort of adhesive mediator.
So, currently, both sides were very accepting of each other, at least much better than the previous atmosphere on Rocks's ship, especially the relationships among the crew members; at least there wouldn't be internal strife.
At the same time, during their conversation, Core Wolf and the others exchanged glances with Tianhuo, as they had all been summoned together, though Tianhuo had appeared a few hours earlier than them.
But since they hadn't spent time together, they only had some understanding of each other, not yet any deep feelings, just that special camaraderie and friendship.
However, Core Wolf and the others were very willing to have such a large robot as a comrade, and Tianhuo, possessing intelligence, felt the same way.
On Rocks's ship, they truly wouldn't be like the former Rocks Pirate Crew.
"Hahaha, well then, gentlemen? Would you like to join my Pirate Crew?"
Rocks extended a sincere invitation.
He had truly changed; having failed once, he was absolutely determined not to make the same mistake twice in the same place.
"As long as you let Hulk smash things, that's fine."
"I have no problem, just keep my living quarters quiet."
"Azure Phoenix and I are similar, but I need a bigger space, after all, I'm a Scientist."
"I don't mind, but it's best if my living place has seawater."
The group still made some requests; Hulk's favorite thing was destruction and, unlike the other three, he had no specific requirements for living conditions. If he did, it would be to eat well.
However, for such minor requests, Rocks naturally agreed readily and immediately ordered his subordinates to make arrangements.
And so, Rocks once again gained four great generals.
True powerhouses, the strong individuals Luna had arranged for him.
John and Silver Axe, standing nearby, were stunned, because they could feel that these four individuals before them were all Yonko-level powerhouses.
If Tianhuo, who was behind them, was included, the two of them combined could also be considered a Yonko-level fighting force, but if Wang Zhi was added, then it would truly be a Yonko crew, especially since they used to frequently operate and fight together.
Although Wang Zhi had not yet returned, he would certainly rejoin the Rocks Pirates.
But without a doubt, the current Rocks Pirates were much stronger than they were back then, and being invited by the Old Captain's Granddaughter meant that the flaws of the old Rocks Pirates were gone. Now, they could be said to be invincible; in terms of hard power, they could completely surpass the Pink Hat Pirates.
This left the two of them feeling very shocked and horrified, and combined with the faint constraints in their hearts, any thoughts they had originally conceived immediately vanished. They understood that it was best to simply be good workers from now on.
At the same time, they also understood that Whitebeard might fare a bit better, but Kaido, Big Mom, and Golden Lion were in for a rough time.
Speaking of Golden Lion, the two immediately volunteered their services, and Rocks let them leave. Rocks then continued to converse with Core Wolf and the others; just as he was pleased with his Granddaughter, he was also very satisfied with these new subordinates... Meanwhile, on the other side.
Luna was naturally affected.
Walking out of the restaurant and wiping her mouth with a wet wipe, Luna looked helplessly at the empty restaurant.
Sighing, she immediately left.
She had underestimated the ordinary residents' fear of the Celestial Dragons; to put it more nicely, this was self-awareness, because they clearly knew that if they stayed any longer, they would definitely be caught in the crossfire, and perhaps even be annihilated by a casual ultimate move or its aftershocks.
"Alright, time to go kill some Celestial Dragons."
Thinking that she had already paid for the meal according to the prices on the menu, Luna immediately said, checking her current mission; there were still two hours and eight minutes remaining.
She immediately activated the power within her; Void Energy spread throughout her body, purple and golden light flashed, and Luna's body began to distort. Finally, like a rocket launching, she immediately leaped up and flew directly upwards.
But suddenly, as if remembering something, Luna immediately opened her communication device and sent a group chat message.
Luna: "Partners, quickly finish your training, come out of the time training house hidden deep underground, and prepare for battle on the beach."
As soon as this message was sent, everyone on the Deserted Island quickly knew about it, including Umeumi Keiko and the Be Group.
It also included Perona, who had already left, and Myuu, who had just left.
Kuina: "Luna, what happened?"
Nojiko: "Yeah, what kind of opponent requires our entire Pirate Crew to mobilize immediately?"
Carmen: "Exactly, right now on this vast sea, there aren't many people who would be our opponents."
Kaya: "Could it be the Marines causing trouble again?"
Asada Shino: "Don't worry about those guys, a good beating will make them behave."
Dia: "No, if Luna doesn't return, and the entire Marine force mobilizes, we would indeed need to do this."
Tatsumaki: "Let them come, then. Having lost to Dragon, I need new punching bags."
