"Although they chose a fishing boat, according to investigations, they were previously wearing a pirate captain's uniform and a swordsman's uniform. However, what we just saw was them wearing some sailor-half-fisherman clothes."
"So I speculate that the other woman definitely wants to form her own Pirate Crew as a Pirate Captain. Black Sword Princess was convinced by her, essentially turning from a Bounty Hunter into a pirate, becoming her companion."
"And there's no way they could have known we were chasing them. The reason they did this later was probably to gather more strength and people. This is also why they chose a fishing boat; they want to play innocent to catch a tiger."
After some deduction, Bogard revealed the truth. However, after speaking, he was also very surprised. These two girls are too cunning, aren't they?
The surrounding Marine Soldiers were mostly the same, especially when they realized that the target they were chasing had just brushed past them. Who would have thought?
Such a bizarre thing could happen.
"Hahahaha, I was actually tricked? And unintentionally at that. How interesting, hahahaha."
Karp couldn't help but laugh after hearing it. It's unclear why he was laughing. His intelligence, even after all these years, Marine Soldiers and Bogard who had followed Karp for many years couldn't figure it out.
But soon, Karp's expression became serious, even a little angry.
"But these two girls actually want to be pirates? How can that be? Quickly, chase after them again. I'll go and knock some sense into them with my Iron Fist right now."
"Yes, Mr. Karp."
"Yes, Vice Admiral Karp."
After Karp finished speaking, the Marine Soldiers and Bogard all sprang into action. Soon, this warship, which had just stopped for a short time, had to immediately leave this town and head in the direction Lu Yue and the others had departed...
"Detecting that the host has begun an adventure, initiating mission deployment."
"Since you have chosen to become a pirate, black-on-black encounters are inevitable. Please eliminate three Pirate Crews."
"Mission Reward: Two armament haki awakening cards, one summon card."
"Marine Hero Vice Admiral Karp is about to pursue the host. Trick them, make them unable to find you or catch you for five days."
"Mission Reward: Two Observation Haki Awakening Cards, one random Devil Fruit."
Here, Lu Yue had already received the new missions deployed by the system.
And they were all great rewards! As long as these Awakening Cards were used, even someone without Haki could directly awaken Haki.
Lu Yue was instantly overjoyed because she clearly understood the importance of Haki in the Pirate World, and now, such an item was in the mission rewards!
So she declared that her future elite Pirate Crew would each awaken at least two types of Haki: Observation Haki and Armament Haki.
The summon card goes without saying; using it would randomly summon a character from the myriad worlds to help her.
And according to her needs, only females would be summoned, with 100% loyalty. Of course, emotional cultivation would still be needed later, as Lu Yue didn't need servants, but friends—companions she could entrust her back to.
Some summoned characters might be like innocent flowers, without any other memories, but others might possess some original memories.
This was irrelevant; Lu Yue believed she could conquer these summoned companions anyway.
The Devil Fruit needs no further explanation; it's a secret treasure of this great sea that can instantly enhance the user's strength significantly.
It grants miraculous powers, although it has the weakness of fearing seawater and Sea Stone.
But isn't there a system? Perhaps in the future, she could obtain a reward that eliminates these two weaknesses of Devil Fruit.
And as for the companions she was about to invite, she was familiar with One Piece, so she had already thought about who to invite.
However, the strength of these few was indeed very weak in this aspect, but now that there was a Devil Fruit as a reward, it couldn't be better.
And these two missions were not difficult for her, especially the latter one.
Now Karp knew that they had disguised themselves as fishermen, and there were two of them, along with their specific direction.
However, since the first mission was deployed, then...
Lu Yue, who was originally at the helm, immediately changed direction, tilting 45 degrees to the right.
"Huh, Lu Yue, why did we change direction?" Kuina asked with a puzzled look.
"Buying a new ship and supplies has almost used up all our current money. We only have 12 million Berries left, and…"
Lu Yue immediately explained about Karp's pursuit. If they could think of it, she naturally could too.
Since they were coming after them, she could only change direction. At worst, she would complete the first mission first and then head towards their original destination.
Kuina nodded after listening, understanding why Lu Yue did this. After all, those chasing them now were the legendary heroes of the Marines...
Soon, because Lu Yue and the others changed course, Karp and his crew naturally lost them.
Midway, they also guessed that Lu Yue and the others had changed course.
Karp immediately cursed in frustration, and finally, out of helplessness, he could only follow their original plan.
They headed towards their original destination, Shells Town, but he was still unwilling to give up. He didn't want to let Lu Yue and the others go easily, so he immediately had Bogard contact the entire East Blue Marines, especially the patrol ships cruising the sea, to pay special attention to Lu Yue and them.
Once there was any movement or clue, they were to contact them immediately, because Karp knew very well that these youngsters in the East Blue, even that Smoker kid, probably couldn't handle these two girls.
After all, the strength of these two girls, in his and Bogard's estimation, was at least that of a Vice Admiral Candidate.
But no matter what, Karp had effectively put out an all-East Blue bounty on Lu Yue and them.
The entire East Blue Marines immediately became bustling, causing some pirates to suffer undeserved misfortune.
However, Lu Yue and the others soon found out about this, as pirates were the most numerous on this great sea.
On the other side, Lu Yue and Kuina didn't take long to encounter their first Pirate Crew. And they were very lucky; this was a Pirate Crew that had just robbed a merchant ship, laden with many goods and supplies.
Lu Yue and Kuina quickly eliminated this Pirate Crew, one could even say it was effortless, as simple as eating and drinking.
And after a prior discussion, they deliberately left some survivors when they eliminated this pirate ship. Then, after removing all the fishing gear from the fishing boat and throwing it into the sea.
This way, the boat, which originally looked like a fishing boat, was no different from an ordinary boat.
The pirates they left as survivors, under their threats and inducements, obediently became their actors.
Lu Yue and the others disguised the original fishing boat as a merchant ship. Kuina changed back into her original swordsman outfit, and the pirates also changed into some sailor outfits from the goods and supplies.
This was the new plan Lu Yue and Kuina devised after their discussion: disguising their original fishing boat as a merchant ship, with these obedient pirates, they would pose as a merchant ship.
Because this way, they could completely confuse the Marines' perception and search capabilities.
It was precisely because of this that, in the next day or two, even when Lu Yue and the others encountered Marine patrol warships.
They could successfully and effortlessly bluff their way through.
Those pirates originally had thoughts of escaping, but then they personally witnessed Kuina and Lu Yue effortlessly destroy two more Pirate Crews they encountered along the way. Filled with fear and cowardice, they abandoned such thoughts.
Additionally, Lu Yue had already stated that they would be released voluntarily after a certain period.
However, the good news was that by evening, Lu Yue had finally completed the mission, eliminating three Pirate Crews.
The summon card and two armament haki awakening cards were thus easily obtained by her.
As night fell, Lu Yue had transmigrated that morning. Although many things had happened, she had truly only been here for half a day, having just experienced her first daytime in the Pirate World.
That's right, so many things happened. Ten chapters of content in just one day, can you believe it?
..."Two, two young ladies, here is the dinner prepared for you."
At this moment, inside the ship's cabin, a pirate tremblingly carried a large pile of prepared food to Lu Yue and Kuina's dining table, speaking with fear and respect.
Having personally witnessed his original Pirate Crew, along with two other Pirate Crews, being effortlessly eliminated by these two female devils in front of him, he naturally felt both respectful and fearful of them now.
"Mm, you may go." Lu Yue said expressionlessly, her small face.
"Alright, alright, please enjoy your meal, both of you." The pirate immediately felt a wave of relief and quickly left after saying a few more words.
He quickly exited the room.
"This is actually also why you chose to keep them, isn't it? Not just to act as merchant ship crew members," Kuina said with a smile, tasting the delicious meal on the table, which at least tasted good and was filling.
"No choice, sailing on the high seas, these professionals are very important." Lu Yue waved her hand and said, then quickly put a piece of sashimi into her cherry-like mouth and savored it.
Just as she knew how important Haki was among the strong on this great sea.
Lu Yue also knew how important certain professionals were to a team operating at sea, most typically a Pirate Crew.
Especially the Navigator, Cook, and Doctor.
These three professions are very important for a Pirate Crew.
Therefore, among the group of pirates they captured, Lu Yue specifically picked these professionals.
They were a cook, a Navigator, a doctor, a helmsman, and two combatants.
