...

Although Noir had rescued many people from Mary Geoise, only a few chose to join his pirate crew.

They had witnessed firsthand the brutal intersection of blood and evil. Now, most simply desired a peaceful life as ordinary people.

Noir wouldn't force them into anything they didn't want. After all, everyone had their own path in life...

After a simple survey, many were quickly eliminated from the pool of potential recruits.

Young children couldn't join. Most of the frail women didn't want to join either. And there were those who longed to return to their families, a task Noir promised to help them with.

In the end, only about five hundred people decided to join.

But that was fine. Noir was content. Strength lay in numbers.

Don't think that strong individuals don't need subordinates. They simply possess enough power, like Mihawk, to operate without assistance in battle.

However, many things become inconvenient. As seen in the original story, Mihawk's domestic skills, from cooking to cleaning, were born out of necessity due to his solitary life.

Shanks and Luffy's crews also followed the elite route, but they still had a sizable number of followers who could prove invaluable in critical moments.

A list of those willing to join was presented to Noir. He glanced over it, getting a general idea of their skills and backgrounds.

As expected, the giant siblings, Nylph and Manlyph, were on the list. Many others had prior experience as pirates; some even had bounties on their heads.

This discovery made Enel envious. Despite his power, he still didn't have a single Beli bounty on his head.

Surprisingly, a few even possessed Devil Fruit powers.

Most were Zoan users, with a handful of Paramecia users whose abilities seemed rather peculiar.

With the crew members mostly decided, Noir moved on to the main topic of the meeting. "So, what do you all think our pirate crew should be called?"

Silence blanketed the room. After a long pause, Conis timidly suggested, "Can't we just call it the Noir Pirates?"

Noir silently agreed. That was the name he had in mind too.

But Enel immediately objected, his voice filled with excitement. "No way! A pirate crew shouldn't be named after a person!"

"I say we call it the Thunder God Pirates!"

Wyper glanced at him impassively. "How about the Blood War Pirates?"

"Too crude," Lucci countered. "I believe the Justice Pirates has a better ring to it."

Enel scoffed. "Calling a pirate crew 'Justice' sounds ridiculous! Mine is better!"

Wyper spat in disgust. "Your name is just glorifying yourself! Stop messing around!"

Enel's eyes lit up. "So you do think I'm the Thunder God?"

Wyper: I think you're insane.

As Enel and the others got into the discussion, the rest of the crew started to voice their own opinions.

Conis, watching the growing excitement, mumbled dejectedly, "I think a simple name would be better..."

Kalifa comforted her. "This is what they call a man's romance. We wouldn't understand."
