As the system's prompt sounded, Lu Yu's lips curved into a smile.
He hadn't expected such a reward for defeating Zoro.
But then again, Zoro is one of the main characters.
Defeating him and forming a bond with him would allow Lu Yu's reputation to grow stronger alongside Zoro, reverberating across the sea.
"Look, that man is the one who defeated the Great Swordsman Zoro…" something along those lines.
And most importantly, his prestige value had already exceeded ten thousand.
"Tsk…"
Thinking of this, Lu Yu directly and without hesitation slashed a horizontal cut across Zoro's chest.
"Remember, this is the mark left on your chest by a Super Pirate."
"My name is—Lu Yu!"
After Lu Yu finished speaking in a chuunibyou tone, he directly lifted his foot and kicked Zoro onto their own ship.
Then, he swaggered away.
Zoro is the type of person who, if you defeat him but don't cut him, he'll feel uncomfortable all over.
After the crisis was resolved, Akame continued on her original course.
At this moment, Zoro lay on his ship.
"Lu Yu!?"
"Soon, the longsword in my hand will make you my test subject for challenging that man!"
Zoro wasn't disheartened in the slightest by being defeated by Lu Yu.
Instead, an even stronger fighting spirit erupted from him.
As for his body, two of his subordinates were quickly bandaging him up.
Back on Lu Yu's ship.
Akame was steering the ship forward, while Lu Yu sat on the deck.
He raised his hand and brought up his panel.
Host: Lu Yu [21 years old]
Abilities: Advanced Swordsmanship, Advanced Assassination Technique, Basic Armament Haki
Items: Ama no Murakumo, Super Broken Ship
Prestige Value: 16500
Crew Members:
First Division · Akame [From Akame ga Kill! world… ]
[Night Raid group recruitment conditions activated]
Title: Dragon Hunting Pirates Captain
As for the Berries and other items obtained, they were all lying in the system's portable space.
With over sixteen thousand prestige points, Lu Yu now had to consider whether to recruit randomly… or to save up and specifically recruit Night Raid members.
After some thought, Lu Yu temporarily decided not to recruit.
The place they were currently in was the East Blue, and the danger level wasn't too high.
He would save up and then directly summon Tatsumi or Night Raid members like Najeta.
Not only would there be a group bonus, but it would also make Akame feel more comfortable.
Having made this decision, Lu Yu closed his panel.
"Akame, find a nearby island for supplies."
"We're almost out of food."
Lu Yu said with a smile.
"Mhm."
Akame picked up the sea chart and examined it carefully.
Their destination was Shelz Town, and they would pass several villages on the sea.
These places could all serve as supply points.
The closest was a place called Gunar Village.
So, Akame adjusted the course directly and set off.
…
Inside a small tavern in Gunar Village.
As a small village, far from the Marine and without strong military protection of its own.
This place had clearly become a gathering spot for pirates.
Fortunately, pirates also knew that such small villages were important supply points.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, they wouldn't engage in acts of burning, killing, or looting the village.
Even pirates knew that such a scorched-earth policy was foolish.
After all, they were pirates, not idiots.
At this moment, inside the tavern in the village.
"Pirate-sama, you… you haven't paid yet?"
Just as a group of pirates were about to leave, a timid voice sounded in their ears.
"Huh!?"
"Do you know who you're talking to right now!?"
"This great one is the Great Pirate Honduras, with a bounty of 16 million Berries!"
"Eating here is giving you face!"
"And you still want money?"
Honduras said with displeasure.
"But… but… you really ate a lot…"
Although the woman was afraid, she still spoke earnestly.
"Little girl, do you know what the consequences are of angering a pirate?"
"Rip…"
After Honduras finished speaking, he waved his large hand.
Instantly, the thin cloth on the woman's body was torn.
"Ah!~"
The woman's scream echoed through the tavern, but the surrounding people were all happily watching the show, and no one came forward to help.
The owner heard the sound and rushed out from the back kitchen immediately.
But upon seeing that the one who acted was Honduras, he subconsciously stood rooted to the spot.
Such pirates were not beings that ordinary people like them could provoke.
And he heard that the owner of another tavern had been killed the next day because he had accepted his money.
Knowing this, he dared not take a single step forward.
"Having offended a pirate, you should now be prepared to be punished."
"Little ones, one by one!"
"Today…"
"Creak…"
Just then, the tavern door was pushed open.
At this moment, everyone's gaze inside the tavern shifted to the doorway.
They only saw two figures entering the tavern unhurriedly.
Leading them was a young man, appearing to be in his twenties, yet with a considerable aura.
He completely disregarded the situation before him, calmly passed by Honduras, and walked to the counter.
Following closely behind the man was a pretty young girl.
Her long black hair was like Dark black jewels.
However, the indifference in her eyes told people to keep their distance.
These two sudden visitors were precisely Lu Yu and Akame.
This made the pirates, who were originally preparing to strike while the iron was hot and do something, involuntarily stop their actions.
At the same time, their faces showed displeasure.
"Hey, hey, hey… kid, are you looking for death?"
"Didn't you see that this great one is causing trouble?"
"This little girl is good, are you planning to serve this great one together…?"
"Beep beep beep…"
Facing Honduras's roar, Lu Yu acted as if he hadn't heard it, still walking calmly towards the counter.
He didn't even react to Honduras's words at all.
This contempt instantly made the veins on Honduras's forehead bulge.
When had he ever been treated with such contempt?
This was the East Blue, and a Great Pirate of his level was already quite formidable.
"Hahaha…"
"Honduras, I didn't expect you to be looked down upon too?"
"Forget it, what kind of Great Pirate are you, why don't you just stop being a pirate!"
"Go back and drink milk, even a mere brat like this doesn't think much of you…"
…
Before Honduras could react, there was no shortage of busybodies around who immediately burst into laughter.
Watching a show, they were professionals!
