I really don't want to be the pirate king

(The title of the previous chapter is wrong, it should be Chapter 263.)

Ace stood there on the ace of spades, surrounding the people around him and scanning their faces.

'Masked' Deus is a medical student who has not graduated. He was once stranded on an island with him. With his help, he made a ship that can use flames as power, and his burning fruit was also on that island. The island got it.

Michal, he is an excellent sniper and does not like to appear in the eyes of outsiders. He is also a teacher and usually holds classes to teach these illiterate pirates how to read.

Skar, an intelligence officer, has extremely rich experience, is good at swordsmanship, and ranks among the top three in the pirate group.

Wores is a fishman who can live underwater. When I saw him, he was being squeezed out.

Ganliu, a warrior of the Nagashou tribe, has a reckless personality. He takes the lead in every battle and suffers the most injuries.

Aunt Bangsi is the cook on the ship, but her cooking skills are not very good and she has a bad temper. The pirates like them are often scolded by him.

There is also the lynx Kodaz, who fell into a poacher's trap and has been following Ace since he was rescued.

"I decided to stay."

Ace looked at the more than 20 people and said: "Not only did he lose the bet, but also the other party's broad mind. Even if he had a bet with me, he still helped me become stronger. It can be said that the two here Years, I grew more than I did in the previous 17 years, so I decided to stay and play for Aaron."

"But the bet was just between me and him."

Ace said with a look of reluctance: "I am no longer the me you were willing to follow, so if you don't want to join the Conqueror Pirates, I can understand. I will leave this ship to you. If you want to leave, if……"

"Ace is saying such things again." Yanliu looked helpless.

"Yes."

Skaar's voice came from under the skull mask, "He likes to retreat sometimes."

"Ace."

Deus took a step forward, raised the pirate flag, looked at him and said, "We have decided a long time ago. Everyone will join you and join the Conqueror Pirates."

"Everyone……"

Ace looked at these companions with a somewhat moved expression.

"You are the captain we follow."

Michal's voice, wearing a top hat, leaned against the mast and said, "Of course, wherever you go, we will go."

"Yes."

"We want to stay with you," Wares said with a smile.

Other pirates have also expressed their opinions. They do not have much resistance to joining Aaron's command. Being a legal pirate means that there is no need to hide in XZ, and the other party is powerful and can protect them.

The two years they have lived here have already made them accustomed to this kind of life.

"Ace."

Deus handed him the pirate flag and said: "Ace, we were all attracted here by your flames. Although the Spade Pirates will no longer exist from today on, please bring our Hold faith in your hands."

Upon hearing this, Ace's expression became determined, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the pirate flag.

Flames filled the air from his palm, igniting the flag. He threw it upwards, and the flag turned into flames, extremely bright.

But it only lasted a short time before the flames and flags disappeared.

"Then let's go."

Ace looked at everyone and said, "Go to our group initiation ceremony."

Immediately afterwards, Ace led everyone off the Ace of Spades, set foot on the coast, and entered the Golden City together.

"There are so many people."

Deus was walking on the Central Avenue and found that there were pirates everywhere, the streets were crowded, and there were vigilantes from the public security station maintaining order.

"In order to welcome Ace to join us, Boss Aaron prepared a grand banquet."

Skar said, "All the pirates from the Conqueror Pirates are here."

"There are too many people."

Yanliu looked at the people around him and said, "Can't there be tens of thousands of people?"

"Boss Aaron has been a Shichibukai for more than nine years. It is normal to have so many subordinates."

Skar observed the surroundings and said, "We are all here today. It seems that Boss Aaron attaches great importance to Ace."

"Boss Ace is so strong."

Wores said with a smile: "The joining ceremony must be more solemn."

They walked along the Central Avenue and came to the square in front of the Golden Emperor Casino. A venue had been built there. The huge arch was made of gold. There were tables inside, and there was a high platform at the end with five tables placed on it. Gold tables and chairs.

"It's all gold."

One pirate couldn't help but stretched out his hand and said, "You can exchange a lot of money for just one piece."

"Don't mess around."

Deus slapped the opponent's hand away, followed Ace, and entered the open-air venue together.

"Mr. Ace, please follow me."

Lanrissa, the maid in maid uniform, bowed slightly and led Ace to the first table. There were several people sitting at that table, Enel, Caitlin, Lafitte, and a woman with yellow hair. .

Ace is no stranger to Enelu. He defeated him more than half a year ago, but if he continues to fight, he will never be weaker than the opponent.

As for the other two, the woman is called Caitlin, and she is the sixth annual champion of the Xuanwu Arena.

The other person is called Lafitte, with a bounty of [-] million Baileys, and he is the person who received the second draft of the Conqueror Pirates' bounty.

As for that woman, Ace was a bit unfamiliar.

"Yo."

Enelu said hello and said with a smile: "From today on, we are companions."

"Yes."

Ace nodded and said, "Please take good care of me in the future."

"My name is Stacy."

The woman stretched out her hand towards Ace and said with a smile, "He is Boss Aaron's partner."

"Nice to meet you, beautiful lady."

Ace took her hand and shook it.

They chatted for a while, and more and more people arrived, filling the tables one by one.

Not long after, Aaron appeared at the venue, walked straight to the high platform, and sat on the gold table and chairs in the center.

The next moment, Enelu, Caitlin and Lafitte all climbed onto the high platform and sat next to Aaron.

At this time, the image phone bug was working, transmitting the scene on the high platform to all parts of the Golden City. The moving crowd immediately fell silent and watched the projected image intently.

In the image, Ace walked up to the high platform step by step, came to Aaron, and sat on the ground with his legs crossed.

"Dear guests..."

Lion King Leon's voice sounded, "Although it's a bit arrogant, I will be the host of Mr. Ace's parent-child sworn ceremony."

"In this ceremony, Lafitte will be the executor, Caitlin will be the notary, and Anilu will be the witness."

Leon continued: "Now serve the family wine, please drop your blood into the wine bowl."

Moore came up with a tray with two bowls of wine, one large and one small, and a gold knife.

Aaron picked up the golden knife, cut it in the palm of his hand, and then squeezed it hard. Blood seeped out and dripped into the two bowls of wine.

Moore handed the wine to Ace again, and the latter took the golden knife, cut his palm, squeezed out the blood, and dripped it into two bowls of wine.

Ace picked up a bowl of wine, and Moore brought the remaining glass of wine to Aaron.

"Then please let the two of you drink the wine of adoption." Leon said loudly.

The two raised the wine bowl, put it to their mouths, and drank the wine in one gulp.

The strong alcohol mixed with blood passed through his throat, leaving a gurgling feeling. It entered his stomach and aroused a sense of heat, making Ace's face turn a little rosy.

After the two finished drinking, they smashed the wine bowl on the ground.

"I declare..."

Leon said loudly: "The sworn ceremony is completed. From today on, Ace officially becomes a member of the Conqueror Pirates."
