After leaving the small shop, Lu Yu didn't look back.
After all, he still had many doubts in his heart, and if he looked back, he would immediately ask Elvin again.
However, Lu Yu was now intensely interested in the things Elvin was so secretive about.
Some things, he realized, could only be truly gained after experiencing them himself.
So, Lu Yu decisively left the small shop.
Once on the street, Lu Yu headed towards the port.
As for shopping, Lu Yu had no interest in that.
When he returned to the port, Lu Yu saw a large group of people moving things onto the Extremely Evil Battleship.
And Kuroro was standing to the side, directing them.
"Captain!"
Seeing Lu Yu return, Kuroro also greeted him warmly.
Although this guy was the dark-bellied representative among hunters, with his absolute loyalty, he was still trustworthy.
At the same time, his personality had subtly changed a little.
"Kuroro, these..."
Lu Yu was a bit puzzled.
"Them?"
"Hmm... pirates preparing to set sail from here."
"And then, in their battle with me, they lost themselves!"
Kuroro said with a smile.
At the same time, he took out his Bandit's Secret Book.
The names of these people clearly appeared on it.
"This is... the Vow of Constraint?"
Lu Yu looked at the names on it and asked in confusion.
This should be a special type of Nen ability, used as a binding vow for a gamble.
After the vow was made, a constraint would appear on everyone involved.
And then, they would become Kuroro's people.
This Nen ability had a similar effect to the system's absolute loyalty.
"Mm-hmm, Captain knows so much."
"Now, they are our Dragon Hunting Pirates' temporary workers."
"When they're no longer useful, they can even be used as pawns."
"At the same time, some everyday chores can also be handed over to them."
"A Pirate Crew, after all, must have such an awareness!"
Kuroro said with a smile.
Upon hearing Kuroro's words, Lu Yu also smiled.
It had to be said, Kuroro's transition from the Phantom Troupe to a pirate... there was absolutely no sense of incongruity.
In fact, it seemed as if he was born to be a pirate.
"Not bad!"
"Then I'll leave things here to you."
Lu Yu nodded, then returned to the Extremely Evil Battleship.
He had just taken a look; Kuroro had brought back over sixty people!
Moreover, the strength of these people was quite good.
It seemed he had detained the core members of some pirate crews who were preparing to set sail from Loguetown.
But then again, Kuroro wouldn't even bother with ordinary people.
"Ahead is Reverse Mountain, huh..."
"Once we're past there, we'll have to say goodbye to East Blue."
Lu Yu suddenly had a strange thought.
Beyond the Red Line was the first half of the Grand Line.
In this area, there were more forces and Allied Nations.
Even the Four Emperors had carved out their territories in this region.
And the first thing Lu Yu had to do next was to make his name thoroughly known throughout the Grand Line.
Reputation, new crew members, strength improvement, faction expansion.
These things could no longer be advanced in East Blue.
Although East Blue still held many mysteries, it was still somewhat difficult for Lu Yu, with his current strength, to explore them.
At least in these past few months, Lu Yu hadn't encountered too many hidden details from the anime.
One must know, the commotion he had caused in East Blue was already considerable.
If there was really anything, he should have encountered it by now.
"Next, the journey is to the Grand Line."
"My current strength still cannot disregard the Marine and the World Government, and there's still a big gap compared to even Four Emperors-level Pirate Crews."
"I still need to continue increasing my strength!"
Lu Yu opened his panel and organized the powers he currently possessed.
According to Lu Yu's current understanding of strength in the One Piece World, an SS rating should have reached the strength of a Four Emperors' Commander.
Of course, compared to someone like Red Hair, whose entire crew was powerful, there was still a certain gap.
Even Red Hair didn't dare to directly oppose the World Government right now.
It seemed that besides the Marine, which served as their public face, the World Government had other forces.
For example, the so-called Sky Dragon Guards he encountered on the noble merchant ship before.
This new term was something Lu Yu had not known previously.
...
"Brother Lu Yu, what's wrong?"
Just as Lu Yu was pondering, Akame's voice came from beside him.
"Akame, I... you... cute!"
Just as Lu Yu was about to say something, he turned to look at Akame.
The next moment, he was stunned by Akame's adorable Lolita outfit.
One must know, Akame had always worn a long black dress.
But now, white over-the-knee socks, a Lolita short skirt, plus cute clothes...
In short, she was... extremely cute!
Although Lu Yu was a transmigrator, he was also an anime fan!
This kind of nuclear-level damage was simply the kind that one couldn't withstand a single blow from...
"Brother Lu Yu, why are you bleeding from your nose?"
Akame asked with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing... Uh, this outfit is very cute!"
Lu Yu quickly wiped away the nosebleed and then gave a positive evaluation.
"See? I told you Akame would look super cute in this!"
Kuina also walked out from the side.
And at this moment, Kuina had her hair tied up.
Her upper body was a cinched T-shirt, with an outer jacket draped behind her.
Her lower body was a pair of black trousers, perfectly encasing her long legs.
Lu Yu realized that girls truly needed different clothes to adorn themselves.
Different clothes made them seem like completely different people.
No wonder those famous tailors were all men.
They were all a bunch of perverts!
"Ahem... Kuina's outfit is also very beautiful."
"Um, will you two, like this, affect combat?"
Lu Yu cleared his throat and changed the subject.
"It won't affect us."
"Akame and I both tried it."
"However, we spent all our money buying clothes."
Kuina said, a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha..."
"It's fine, it seems we need to add some wardrobes to the ship's cabins."
Lu Yu laughed and slowly said.
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Kuroro walked directly in front of him and bowed.
"I can make wardrobes."
"Using Nen ability."
"Dark Box!"
Kuroro raised his hand, and instantly two black spaces appeared behind Kuina and Akame.
"The space within these Dark Boxes is at least as large as the space on the Extremely Evil Battleship."
"It should be enough for two ladies to store their clothes."
"Moreover, this type of conjuration Nen ability only requires a one-time expenditure of Nen to be fully materialized."
Kuroro explained, while also teaching the two how to use it.
Indeed, the best way to get along with women is to help them build a large wardrobe...
The atmosphere on the ship suddenly seemed to become more cohesive.
By the time Najeta arrived, it was already evening.
And at this time, Najeta was also followed by more than ten people.
Although not as many as Kuroro's, the eyes of these people revealed a fervent devotion to Najeta.
It seemed that Najeta's role as a general of the Revolutionary Army was not for nothing.
Her brainwashing ability could almost rival Kuroro's Nen ability.
"Let's go, to the Grand Line!"
Once everyone had arrived, Lu Yu directly gave the order to set sail.
