Lin Muxue felt that this would definitely be the last time. She would never let Ye Yu join again, even if his Conqueror's Haki became stronger. It was impossible.
At this moment, other captains were furious and began to scold Lin Muxue.
"How can you speak of Ye Yu like that? Even if his personal strength isn't great, with just his Conqueror's Haki, his status is undoubtedly very high."
"Don't belittle Ye Yu."
"Ye Yu, we won't underestimate you. Really, can't you join our ship? If not, let's at least be friends."
...
Lin Muxue saw these people still trying to curry favor and sneered.
"Hmph, his Conqueror's Haki is impressive, but in this world, the strong survive and the weak perish. In the end, those with weak strength will inevitably diminish. So, what use will his Conqueror's Haki be then? The weak can't make it to the end. Even if his Conqueror's Haki improves, it will be useless in the later stages and won't affect those who are slightly stronger. So, stop trying so hard to flatter him."
Lin Muxue said this to comfort herself, and she immediately felt better.
However, others still treated Ye Yu with respect. After all, powerful firearms had disappeared and were hard to produce, but Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki was equivalent to a powerful weapon.
Even though many pirate ships were equipped with cannons and many crew members carried guns, their firepower wasn't significant. Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki, on the other hand, was like a weapon of mass destruction. In group battles, it could instantly reduce the enemy's numbers significantly, which was what they valued.
At this time, many pirate crews across the Dragon Kingdom were shaken.
Bai Shaohan was amazed: "Such formidable Conqueror's Haki. Is this the benefit of being a Contract Non-Ability User?"
Hei Jie didn't care: "If it were me, even knowing that Conqueror's Haki can be very strong when stacked, I would still choose a powerful Devil Fruit."
Other crew members agreed.
"Yes, Devil Fruits are the way to go. The outcome of battles still depends on the fights between the strong."
"Moreover, in future group battles, Ye Yu will easily be targeted. Everyone will want to take him out first."
"That's right. Even if someone protects him, it will be hard to do so in evenly matched battles."
...
Bai Shaohan frowned: "Even so, we should still try to recruit him and extend an olive branch."
"But it seems he's about to join the pirate crew of the Ice Fruit Ability User. They seem to be good friends."
"As long as there's hope, we should try. Besides, our pirate crew is definitely stronger and has more prospects than theirs. If Ye Yu doesn't want to join, we can recruit their entire crew."
"The boss makes a good point."
...
Meanwhile, in the Azure Dragon Pirates.
Wang Quanshi also placed great importance on this.
"This Ye Yu, it seems he hasn't completely become useless. His Conqueror's Haki is still very effective. We need to find a way to recruit him."
"Captain, his Conqueror's Haki doesn't have much impact on our Azure Dragon Pirates, does it? After all, our standards are high. Our crew members must at least be Artificial Devil Fruit Ability Users. That's why we're also known as the Beast Pirates, as most of us are Zoan types. His Conqueror's Haki can at most knock out the weaklings. It probably can't knock out our crew members."
Wang Quanshi still desired: "Even so, we should still get him to join. Other pirate crews won't be like us."
"That's true."
"Captain, what if he doesn't join?"
Wang Quanshi replied calmly, "It's fine if he doesn't. Our Azure Dragon Pirate Crew won't be at a disadvantage, but other pirate crews should be worried."
...
At this moment, Ye Yu was dominating the trending searches due to his powerful Conqueror's Haki.
Below those, many trending topics were about various pirate crews extending invitations to Ye Yu, urging him to join their ranks. Among them were the strongest pirate crews: the Azure Dragon Pirate Crew, the Overlord Pirate Crew, the Destruction Pirate Crew, the Flying Pirates, and more.
These were all formidable pirate crews, with captains possessing top-tier talents and powerful Devil Fruit abilities, all eager to have Ye Yu join them.
At this time, Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er realized that Ye Yu had become highly sought after. After seeing the trending topics, they also learned that some powerful pirate crews had issued warnings, threatening retaliation if they tried to recruit Ye Yu.
The crew members also quickly became aware of Ye Yu's popularity.
Zhao Yan'er said solemnly, "Xia Ling, so many powerful pirate crews want Ye Yu now. Some of them might even be stronger than us. Do you think Ye Yu will hesitate?"
Xia Ling replied confidently, "No matter what Ye Yu chooses, I'll support him. But I know he'll definitely choose to join the same pirate crew as me. Even if those powerful crews try to recruit him, he won't go."
Zhao Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief, happy that Ye Yu could join their crew. However, she expressed concern, "Two pirate crews have issued threats, warning us not to let Ye Yu join. One is the Overlord Pirate Crew, founded by Song Ling, an Ability User of the Soul-Soul Fruit. The other is the Flying Pirates, founded by Jin Mo, an Ability User of the Float-Float Fruit. They've publicly stated on the trending topics that if we dare to let Ye Yu join, they won't be polite."
Xia Ling, naturally angered by this, asked, "Are you scared?"
Zhao Yan'er smiled fearlessly, "Of course not."
Then, Xia Ling turned to the executives and crew members, asking, "Is anyone scared?"
Immediately, the crew members responded in unison, full of determination, "No!"
"Good! That's the spirit of our pirate crew. We're not afraid of threats. As for the decision, it's up to Ye Yu."
...
At this moment, Xia Ling's ship docked, and she happily jumped off the ship, bouncing in the air.
Ye Yu sighed to himself, "It's been a while since I last saw Xia Ling. She's grown up again."
Xia Ling jumped down and immediately rushed toward Ye Yu, excited.
"Yu, it's been so long! I've missed you so much. I wanted to come see you earlier, but the seas weren't safe, so I could only come now."
Xia Ling threw herself at Ye Yu, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.
Ye Yu naturally held her waist with both hands, reminding her, "There are so many people watching, and the live broadcast is everywhere, reaching the entire Dragon Kingdom. Be careful."
Xia Ling also realized she had lost her composure, too excited. She quickly got down, happy for Ye Yu.
"That's amazing! Your Conqueror's Haki is so powerful."
Her joy wasn't because of the benefits of having him on the crew, but because Ye Yu had a remarkable skill. This way, Ye Yu would feel better about himself.
Xia Ling then glanced around, noticing the live broadcast nearby, and turned to Ye Yu, her expression turning serious.
At this moment, the surrounding pirate crews also fell silent, as did the entire Dragon Kingdom. Countless eyes were fixed on the live broadcast, all focused on Ye Yu.
Because everyone knew, and Ye Yu must have known about those trending topics as well, everyone wanted to know whether Ye Yu would succumb to the pressure and choose not to join Xia Ling's Pirate Crew for the time being, or if he wou
ld join directly. What choice would he ultimately make?
Instantly, the entire Dragon Kingdom fell silent, all eyes turning to Ye Yu, awaiting his response.
