Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Kuina froze in place.
It must be said that Lu Yu's words just now were indeed very appealing.
Moreover, in terms of charisma, Kuina felt somewhat conquered.
The scene Lu Yu described was undeniably a grand dream!
Compared to those who simply wanted to become the Pirate King or find a great treasure, it was much clearer and more purposeful.
"I'll join!"
After a moment of contemplation, Kuina made her decision.
Lu Yu was right.
Although their strength was not great now, they had a strong desire to become stronger.
As long as they were given time, why couldn't they have the ability to overturn this world!?
"Big Sister Kuina, I am Luo Erji, a trainee crew member of the Dragon Hunting Pirates!"
"Those are the odd-jobbers of the Dragon Hunting Pirates!"
"This is Big Sister Akame!"
"And finally, our respected and great Captain, Lu Yu!"
Just as Kuina nodded in agreement, Luo Erji immediately jumped out and began the introductions.
His enthusiasm instantly left Kuina a bit bewildered.
Could it be that this was how pirates interacted?
Did she also need to learn how to introduce newcomers to the ship in this way in the future?
"Luo Erji, do you know the Akoslan Kingdom?"
Fortunately, Lu Yu spoke, interrupting Kuina's thoughts.
At the same time, he also diverted Luo Erji's attention.
To prevent that guy from saying anything strange again.
Although being called a great and respected Captain, Lu Yu was still very happy.
But for some reason, he always felt a little embarrassed.
"Akoslan Kingdom?"
"Captain, this is one of the World Government's Allied Nations, and also one of the only three Allied Nations in the East Blue."
"Why would Captain suddenly mention this kingdom!?"
"Their strength is not weak."
"They possess large trade caravans and well-trained Kingdom troops."
"The guards of those great nobles basically have strength comparable to Marineford officers."
Luo Erji was an old pirate from the East Blue.
Although he didn't know much about the Grand Line and the New World, the East Blue was no problem for him.
And as a pirate in the East Blue, the first thing you needed to do was to understand who you could mess with and which forces you absolutely could not provoke.
Only then could you live well in this world.
"Such a powerful country?"
"Akame, you have more experience than me in hunting down kingdom nobles."
"Let's make a plan."
Lu Yu directly turned to look at Akame, who was beside him.
At this moment, Akame was holding a box of candies and eating, looking at Lu Yu with a blank expression.
"I'm responsible for killing people; Najeta was always the one who made the plans before."
Akame swallowed the candy with difficulty, then said innocently.
"Is that so?"
"Luo Erji, do you have a deep understanding of the Akoslan Kingdom?"
"Their combat power, the guards around each great noble, and so on."
"Most importantly, the country's structure and national conditions."
Lu Yu asked again.
After all, no matter what plan or action was to be taken, information needed to be understood first.
To act blindly without any information was not something a normal person should do…
Of course, idiots like Luffy were automatically excluded from being normal people.
"I probably know."
"Previously, I went to the Akoslan Kingdom."
"The national conditions there are actually similar to most Allied Nations."
"The rich indulge in luxury, while the poor freeze to death on the streets."
"Moreover, as an Allied Nation, besides paying taxes to the country, they also need to pay an additional annual reserve as celestial gold."
"This makes the common people miserable."
"The only good thing is that they are protected by the World Government's promise, so no pirates would be so foolish as to attack an Allied Nation."
"As for the specific and detailed information, I'm not clear; I need to purchase intelligence."
"Detailed intelligence on an Allied Nation should be no problem for ten million Berries."
Luo Erji stated everything he knew and his suggestions.
It must be said that this guy was very smart.
His execution ability was also good.
Lu Yu had also seen his loyalty now.
When the time was right, he would be made a full member.
"Here are twenty million Berries."
"I need to go to Coco Yashi Village first; you are responsible for purchasing the intelligence."
"Return within five days, and you will be a formal crew member of the Dragon Hunting Pirates."
Lu Yu threw out a box and said with a smile.
"Understood, Captain!"
"The honor of the Dragon Hunting Pirates will always shine upon me!"
Luo Erji was overjoyed.
Then, carrying the money, he quickly disappeared from the spot.
Seeing Luo Erji disappear, Lu Yu also shifted his gaze to Nami, who was beside him.
At this moment, Nami was almost scared to death.
What kind of ship had she gotten on!?
A pirate crew of just a few people was openly discussing attacking an Allied Nation!
One had to know, that was an Allied Nation!
It was completely different from a regular village.
Even all the Marine Branches in the East Blue combined might not be as strong as a kingdom's army.
They were actually discussing such a thing.
Nami realized that she had chosen the wrong target!
"Nami, you can sail, right?"
"Go pilot that merchant ship and come with us to Coco Yashi Village."
Lu Yu said with a smile.
Although there were no overly strong words, Nami still heard an undeniable meaning in them.
If she didn't agree, she might be directly killed.
One had to know, these guys were merciless when killing nobles, let alone her.
"I can!"
Nami immediately nodded, then quickly climbed onto the luxurious merchant ship via the gangway.
The group quickly headed towards Coco Yashi Village.
Meanwhile, at Marineford.
"Dragon Hunting Pirates?"
A piece of intelligence appeared in Sengoku's office.
Looking at the intelligence and the description of its members, Sengoku's brows furrowed.
When did such a guy appear in the East Blue… And he vaguely remembered that Garp seemed to have brought up an introduction about this person before.
"Lu Yu?"
Sengoku then pulled out the intelligence on Lu Yu.
It was indeed sent by Garp.
But why was there such a big difference between the introduction on it and the description in the current intelligence!?
Most importantly, this Dragon Hunting Pirates seemed to have gained another combatant.
A female swordswoman!
"Sengoku, why did you call me here?"
Just then, Garp, who was eating senbei as he walked into Sengoku's office, slowly said.
"The merchant ship from the Akoslan Kingdom was plundered by the Dragon Hunting Pirates."
"No one survived; all were killed."
Sengoku finished speaking and directly handed the intelligence in his hand to Garp.
Hearing the name of the Dragon Hunting Pirates, Garp also stopped eating the senbei in his hand.
"This brat, he seems a bit formidable!"
"He even dares to rob a merchant ship from the Akoslan Kingdom!"
"Hahahahaha…"
Garp said, then burst into laughter.
Seeing Garp's appearance, Sengoku was furious.
How come all the troubles coming from the East Blue were related to this old man!?
First, there was the Revolutionary Army's Dragon, then Ace, the Squad Leader of the Whitebeard Pirates, and now some Lu Yu.
Most importantly, Garp, this old bastard, actually looked indifferent!
If it weren't for being in the office, Sengoku really wanted to grab this guy and beat him up!
