Over the past three days, Lu Yu had beco familiar with Aka.
There was no significant difference from their original personalities—except for their absolute loyalty to him. Otherwise, they retained full autonomy.
"Captain Lu Yu, is that a pirate ship ahead?"
At that mont, Aka swiftly climbed onto the mast and peered into the distance.
A large ship flying a skull flag was heading straight toward them.
"Pirates?"
Lu Yu grinned. "Hahaha, finally!"
He turned to his crew. "Alright, get us close—let's rob them!"
"Got it!" Aka responded enthusiastically, adjusting the sail to steer toward the enemy vessel.
They had rehearsed this line before. After all, as their pirate crew grew in strength, they needed to establish their own aura of dominance.
On the Enemy Pirate Ship
"Captain, a shabby-looking ship is approaching us," a lookout reported. "There are only two people on board. The man is handso, and the woman is gorgeous."
He licked his lips. "Should we take action?"
The pirate captain laughed. "Hahaha, capture them both. If they're high-quality, we might fetch a good price for them!"
"Aye, Captain!"
The captain rose from his seat. Towering over two ters tall, his massive fra was covered in fat, and he wielded an enormous longsword.
His na: Jekasfa.
Bounty: 18 million berries
His crew numbered in the hundreds, and their ship was ard with turrets—an impressive force for the East Blue.
As the ships drew close, Lu Yu and Aka leaped onto the enemy vessel.
"Captain Lu Yu, they've committed many cris. Can I just kill them all?" Aka asked, slowly drawing her cursed katana, Murasa.
"Pirates robbing pirates—that's fair ga," Lu Yu replied. "Leave the bodies intact. We'll collect the bounties later."
With that, he unsheathed A-no-Habakiri, a sleek white sword with striking patterns. Its thick spine and versatile grip allowed for both one-handed and two-handed use. A sharp, nacing aura radiated from the weapon.
"Heh, are rookies this arrogant nowadays?" sneered a hunched, elderly pirate clutching a Mauser rifle. He didn't take Lu Yu or Aka seriously.
To him, they looked like young nobles who had lost their way at sea—valuable rchandise for the black market.
"Alright, boys—"
Shing!
Before he could finish, Aka was already behind him.
A thin line of blood ford on his throat. A heartbeat later, the curse took effect, draining the life from his body in an instant.
"The Captain said you all must die," Aka declared coldly. "Burn."
She charged forward, cutting through enemy after enemy with effortless precision. Speed, technique, and power—all perfectly balanced. So pirates only suffered a minor wound, only to collapse monts later as death overtook them.
Panic spread through the enemy ranks.
"Useless fools!" Jekasfa roared.
Boom!
He swung his massive sword, forcing Aka to retreat. Though she was stronger, brute strength wasn't her forte.
"Armant Haki!"
A dark aura surged around her arms and legs. Despite only three days of practice, Aka had already mastered this ability.
Her speed exploded.
"Ka... Destroy!"
A dazzling slash cut through the air.
Jekasfa barely had ti to react before his body was sliced apart. He fell with a heavy thud.
"Who... are you...?" he gasped, but his words died as darkness claid him.
A chain reaction followed—one by one, the remaining pirates collapsed.
Aka calmly sheathed her katana and stepped behind Lu Yu.
---
Ding!
Pirate crew annihilated (Bounty: 18 million berries)
Gained 2,000 reputation points!
Bonus: 10 million belly earned!
Super Small Broken Ship's devouring function activated! Would you like to absorb the enemy vessel?
Lu Yu barely had to lift a finger—the battle was already over. The system's notification rang in his ears, confirming another way to earn reputation: eliminating pirate crews.
"Absorb it," Lu Yu ordered.
His small, ragged ship latched onto the enemy vessel and began absorbing its structure. Within monts, a brand-new pirate ship took shape—a vast improvent from the wreck they had been sailing.
A Multiverse Recruitnt Card required 10,000 reputation points. Lu Yu now had 3,500. If he destroyed a few more pirate crews, he could perform a second summon.
He glanced at Aka, wondering who their next recruit would be.
For now, he dismissed the idea of targeted recruitnt—every Night Raid mber required a hefty 50,000 reputation points. It was best to summon randomly until he had more to spare.
With the pirate ship fully absorbed, all supplies and treasures onboard were transferred to their inventory.
"Captain, I'm hungry. I'm going to cook," Aka said in a cheerful voice.
"Go ahead," Lu Yu nodded, smirking.
He had to admit—Aka's cooking was top-notch. She wasn't just a fearso warrior; she could handle both battle and the kitchen with ease.
Not to ntion, she was pleasing on the eyes.
Among the loot, Lu Yu found a sea chart.
Checking their location, he realized they had been circling the Kingdom of Goa for the past three days. The nearest Marine base was in Shells Town.
He smirked. "Let's head there, cash in these bounties, and stock up on supplies."
With that, Lu Yu set their next course.
