{On an island not far from the battlefield}

"So, how are my men doing?" asked a tall man over two and a half meters. This man had tanned skin and was very muscular. Beauty was not his main asset, but the aura he gave off made him charismatic.

"Captain Joz, your men, just need a rest," said the old man who seemed to be the only doctor in the wooden house.

..

It had already been one day since Joz and Llanson had clashed on the naval battlefield.

Unfortunately for Joz, he had lost seven people during this fight which was relatively good compared to the damage suffered by the Navy. Fortunately, Llanson did not have the same philosophy as Akainu; otherwise, Joz's crew would undoubtedly be annihilated.

Of course, the main battlefield duel was Daz against the Navy Lieutenant, who ended in a tie. Joz had decided to just seriously injure the Lieutenant and leave him alive to avoid the pursuit of Llanson during his victory.

Joz's crew had lost only a few men because Joz (Joz) was the focus of the Navy.

..

Usually, during clashes: pirates against Navy, the Navy had minor collateral damage.

Why?

The Navy was influential because its foundations were strong, and its soldiers were one of the reasons. Overall, a marine soldier is superior to a pirate of the same level (example: admirals are slightly more potent than Emperor commanders).

Why?

The Navy and the world government had much more experience training their soldiers than a simple pirate (including the Emperor). Without the might of the Emperors, their crew would not be such a great danger to the Navy (The Navy still left the new world to the Emperors, from the death of Xebec to the appointment of Akainu as Chief Admiral).

But even though the pirates were weaker than the Navy of the same level, it was not uncommon to see a pirate winning against a navy of the same level.

..

With this news, Joz left the doctor's house and visited the village where he was. The island that Joz and his crew were on was called 'Tobar' because this island was an island where pirates, merchants, marines rested.

Joz first went to the hotel reserved for his crew members to break the news.

When he entered the building, he saw that there were two of his guys who were playing cards.

"So you finished the assignment I gave you?" asked Joz

"Yes, captain, we have put up posters all over the village. Marcus is going to recruit with Pouis at the end of the afternoon," said one of the two, greeting his captain.

"Great, hahaha, recruited a maximum of 10 new members, giving priority to people with specialties, mainly doctor," announced Joz as he made his way to the stairs that took him to the executive rooms of his crew.

"Got it, captain," the other said, exiting the building to report Joz's demands.

..

Joz was going upstairs to see Robin. After having fled from the battlefield, Joz had received the rewards of his mission and had given the elixir to Robin to strengthen his physique and therefore his devil fruit indirectly (The stronger your physique is, the more you can bear your devil fruit. Blackbeard had been able to directly use the fruit of Newgate just after having it thanks to his extraordinary physique, Sabo too).

"Come in," said Robin, who was reading the news.

Joz walked in and sat down in one of the available chairs.

Since the recruitment announcement, Joz has been paying close attention to those around him. If the Navy found out that he was on this island, he would be surrounded and seized his ship or, even worse: bombed from the sea. That's why he always put robin on the spot: thanks to her devil fruit, she could observe the whole village without being spotted.

"News?" Joz asked, looking out the window.

"No, there is no movement from the villagers, but there is news about you in the newspaper."

"Who?"

"According to the newspaper, the navy surrounded you and almost captured you, but you used the life of your men not only to escape but also to damage one of the navy ships," announced robin with a slight smile on her lips.

"Alalala, the world government, they will do anything to keep their image of vigilante over the seas," said Joz as he stood up and left for the exit.

"Ah oh done, captain .... thanks for the potion."

"No problemo," Joz replied with a smile.

And with this discussion, Joz continued to visit the village where he was (restaurant, bar, store, inhabitants, etc ...).
