At this time, the tavern owner also had the supplies ready.
Besides running a tavern, they also prepared supplies for the Dragon Hunting Pirates.
To survive in such an era, merely running a tavern was not enough.
After all, their tavern was not like Makino's, which was protected by the Four Emperors and a Marineford Vice Admiral.
"Alright, since you are now handymen, take these supplies to the ship."
"Remember, the Captain you serve is Captain Lu Yu of the Dragon Hunting Pirates!"
"Go!"
Akato also acted like a big sister, giving out commands.
Upon hearing Akato's words, everyone had long forgotten their initial desire for Akato's body.
Within that beautiful and lovely body lay a terrifying demon!
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone scrambled to move the supplies.
As everyone left, Lu Yu also got up, preparing to leave the tavern.
"Sir!"
"I…"
The owner stammered, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Speak freely."
Lu Yu said calmly.
"Sir, these Dragon Hunting Pirates only revere you on the surface."
"If you keep them by your side, they might betray you one day."
"Regarding your safety, sir…"
Because Lu Yu had resolved the trouble in his tavern and given him a large order, the owner mustered the courage to speak such words.
Upon hearing the owner's words, Lu Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
A playful expression appeared on his face.
"I think you might have misunderstood."
"I don't need their loyalty."
"They only need to fear, to fear down to their very bones."
"That will suffice."
Lu Yu left with these words, turning to leave.
It was not until a few minutes after Lu Yu disappeared that the owner collapsed onto the ground.
"What kind of being was I just talking to?"
"This… is this the one of extreme evil?"
The owner said his evaluation with a tremble.
Of course, Lu Yu was unaware of this, nor did he care.
The reason for recruiting these Dragon Hunting Pirates was merely to provide some convenience for his daily voyages.
Moreover, many mundane tasks would no longer require him to do them personally.
As for the rest… he didn't care.
"Ding, annihilated two ten-million-level Dragon Hunting Pirates, obtained…"
"Ding, subdued three ten-million-level Dragon Hunting Pirates, obtained…"
Soon, the system's notification sound also rang out.
This system is a bit delayed…
By the time Lu Yu arrived at the port, these Dragon Hunting Pirates had already loaded and organized all the supplies.
Some had even begun wiping down the ship's hull.
It must be said, their handyman skills were quite good.
Moreover, the Captains of these three Dragon Hunting Pirates, Luo Erji, Rick, and Dor, were not weak in strength.
They could barely serve as thugs when needed.
Seeing Lu Yu and Akato approach, everyone stopped their work immediately and stood at attention in front of Lu Yu's ship.
They formed two lines.
"Thump, thump, thump…"
As Lu Yu and Akato walked step by step, everyone's hearts were incredibly tense.
After all, just a second ago, they had forcefully extended their lives from the Grim Reaper's scythe.
"Captain, Akato!"
Everyone instantly bowed ninety degrees.
Seeing their expressions, Lu Yu's mischievous side emerged.
It seemed that this feeling wasn't bad at all.
Lu Yu directly issued the order, "Rest for one night, set sail tomorrow!"
As for exchanging pleasantries with them, he decided against it.
In Lu Yu's eyes, they were not formal crew members at all, but merely a group of handymen.
After dropping this sentence, he returned to the reclining chair on his ship to rest.
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone didn't dare to breathe, answered 'Yes, sir,' and then went to prepare.
Lu Yu, lying on the reclining chair, began to doze off.
The voyage during this period had caused a significant change in Lu Yu's mindset.
Strength, power…
These things would change a person's original mindset.
As a reincarnator, Lu Yu maintained his mindset from Earth.
However, it was clear that such a mindset was too pale and powerless in the One Piece World.
In many cases, it would even become an obstacle for him.
Suddenly, a sentence appeared in Lu Yu's mind: "Then don't be human!"
It must be said, breaking before building was indeed the truth.
His state of mind, under the baptism of the sea, had already begun to change.
Being a Pirate did not only correspond to freedom.
Someone like Luffy was completely a Marine in Pirate's clothing.
He went around the world looking for trouble with Dragon Hunting Pirates, almost making the Marine unemployed.
Do you really think Akainu wants to kill Luffy so badly!?
Mainly, he's afraid Luffy will take his job in the future…
Thinking wildly, sleepiness crept in.
…
The next morning, Lu Yu and his crew headed directly for Shelz Town.
"What?"
"You said you know the whereabouts of the recently wanted Pirate, Dragon Hunting Pirates Captain Lu Yu?"
"And that he annihilated two Dragon Hunting Pirates at your location?"
"I understand."
"Hmm…"
"After the verification is complete, you will be given the bounty."
The Marine hung up the phone and immediately went to report the situation.
"Not bad, a Pirate with an 18 million bounty, and he even wiped out two ten-million-level Dragon Hunting Pirates."
"Don't rush to make a move against them, report it upwards."
"Increase his bounty, so I can get more Merit Points!"
"Hehehehe…"
A Marine officer finished speaking, a sly smile on his face.
And the Marine quickly reported the intelligence from this side upwards.
Soon, Marineford began to verify.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for being noticed by the Marine and having your bounty increased, gaining 3000 reputation points!"
At this time, Lu Yu was practicing his swordsmanship when the system's notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.
"Huh!?"
"Marine?"
Lu Yu was stunned.
He didn't remember ever encountering a Marine?
Is this Marine sick?
Do they have nothing to do but like to increase the bounties of Dragon Hunting Pirates?
However, Lu Yu didn't pay too much attention and continued his voyage.
After all, an increase in reputation points had no downside for him.
With the help of these newly recruited handymen, their go ahead speed had increased significantly.
And Akato no longer needed to be responsible for the lookout and Navigator duties.
Now, both of them had ample time for cultivation.
As for their original Dragon Hunting Pirates flags, all of them had been replaced.
Even if they were just handymen, Lu Yu would not allow other Dragon Hunting Pirates flags to appear in his ranks.
This was a Pirate's basic belief.
"Brother Lu Yu, he said he has something to talk to you about."
Just as Lu Yu was swinging his sword, Akato brought Luo Erji to him.
