After finishing our meal here, we rested for a night.
I have to say, after sailing on the vast sea for so long, once you reach land, you just want to take a good look around and have some fun.
At this moment, Lu Yu arrived at the highest mountain peak.
He gazed at the endless sea and the scenery below the mountain.
"Is this the world of the Pirate King?"
"Every place has its own unique scenery."
Lu Yu looked at the scenery, and he felt a lot of emotions.
After all, in his previous Life, he never had the chance to see these things.
"Brother Lu Yu, this world is so beautiful!"
"And there are so many strange and interesting things. Are these the things Brother Lu Yu wants to pursue!?"
Akame also sat on a rock behind Lu Yu, asking with a bewildered expression.
"What I pursue!?"
"I am a common man. I pursue power, strength, status, and reputation!"
"Also, everything in this world that doesn't suit my will must change according to my will."
"How about it? Am I an ambitious person?"
Lu Yu said with a smile.
To be honest, Lu Yu's initial idea when he set sail was simply to see this world.
However, even for such a simple idea, a lot of preparation was needed.
The most important thing among them was strength.
If you don't have strength, on this vast sea, which is called freedom, you will be beaten to death by the waves.
Just like those pirates Lu Yu and his crew eliminated, and Hawkins, who is now a handyman.
Even Blackbeard, who is being hunted by the Whitebeard Pirates, and Ace, who will be sent to the execution platform in the future…
Their helplessness was entirely due to their insufficient strength.
When one's strength is enough to change the rules of this world, that is when true freedom is achieved.
"Brother Lu Yu wants to do many things!"
"Akame is very simple; I just want to stay by your side."
Akame said with a giggle.
Hearing Akame's words, Lu Yu also smiled slightly and said nothing.
…
Three days later.
"Captain, the procurement of supplies has been completed."
"According to Ace's appetite, we prepared one and a half times the usual amount."
"Are we ready to set sail!?"
Just as Lu Yu was fighting Susanoo, Luo Erji walked over.
Then he reported on the work done during this period.
That's right, for three days, nothing else was done.
They had been preparing meat, vegetables, fruits…
Although Lu Yu did not personally participate in these things, he knew how complicated they were.
"Alright, then let's prepare to depart."
"Oh, and set up our pirate flag here."
Lu Yu said directly.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Luo Erji was stunned.
Set up the pirate flag!?
At this moment, Hawkins, who was originally walking towards them, also stopped in his tracks.
He looked at Lu Yu with some disbelief.
One must know that if a Dragon Hunting Pirates sets up its pirate flag in a certain place,
It is declaring to the entire sea that this is its territory.
Currently, only the Four Emperors are qualified to do such a thing.
The Shichibukai need to operate in secret.
After all, they only obtained the right to legal plunder, not the right to legal occupation.
If a Shichibukai openly occupied a country, they would certainly be restrained by the World Government.
Of course, exceptions include situations like Empress and Kuma, who already possess their own countries.
Or like Hawkeye and Moriah, that doesn't count either.
After all, they merely occupied an island and made it their territory.
However, this Whiskey Peak is an important location on the Grand Line.
Leaving a pirate flag here is equivalent to facing challenges from all pirates in the world!
"Do the people here know about this?"
Luo Erji asked with some doubt.
"They don't need to know."
"They only need to know that from today onwards, this Whiskey Peak belongs to the Dragon Hunting Pirates."
Lu Yu said domineeringly.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for establishing the first territory occupied by the Dragon Hunting Pirates."
"Reward 1000 Prestige Points. If it is maintained after five years, reward 10,000 Prestige Points!"
As the system's prompt sounded, a pirate flag appeared in Lu Yu's hand.
Seeing the Dragon Hunting Pirates' flag suddenly appear in Lu Yu's hand, Luo Erji's expression also turned serious.
Their Captain wasn't just talking.
He was truly going to establish his territory.
As for why Lu Yu chose this place, Luo Erji didn't know.
He only knew one thing: now this Whiskey Peak was their territory.
"Luo Erji!"
"Here!"
Hearing Lu Yu's voice, Luo Erji immediately stood straight in front of Lu Yu.
"Gather everyone in Whiskey Peak here."
Lu Yu said softly.
"Yes!"
Luo Erji, with a sense of ceremony, clenched his fist and placed it on his chest.
This indicated that his response was from the heart.
This etiquette was taught to them by Najeta.
Not only their bodies but also their hearts must belong to the Dragon Hunting Pirates.
This was not only a restraint for them but also the honor bestowed upon them by the Dragon Hunting Pirates.
Soon, Luo Erji gathered everyone here.
"What is this for!?"
"Aren't they leaving?"
"I'm not sure, isn't that Lu Yu, the Captain of the Dragon Hunting Pirates? What is he doing with his pirate flag!?
…
After a group of people gathered, they all chattered amongst themselves.
"Quiet!"
Just then, Hawkins walked over and shouted coldly.
Hearing Hawkins's words, everyone immediately quieted down.
Seeing Hawkins and Ace, who was lazily lying on the ground, everyone remembered that they were facing pirates of the billion-level!
They had just openly discussed them.
Could it be that gathering them here this time was to pursue the events of a few days ago?
Were they going to kill all of them!?
Once such emotions arose, they could not be suppressed.
In fact, they even showed signs of spreading.
"This Whiskey Peak, from today onwards, is the territory of my Dragon Hunting Pirates."
"I know you were all pirate hunters, but from today onwards, you are people protected by my Dragon Hunting Pirates."
"This is our Dragon Hunting Pirates' flag, and it is also something you need to protect with your Life."
"This flag will bring you peace and stability."
Najeta stepped forward and clearly stated the purpose of gathering everyone.
"Ah?"
"Are we considered members of the Dragon Hunting Pirates?"
"Not really, it's just that this place has received their protection, or rather, the Dragon Hunting Pirates has designated this as their base!"
…
They were not ordinary citizens; they basically understood such situations.
They immediately understood the Dragon Hunting Pirates' meaning.
"Is there anyone who objects?"
Lu Yu also opened his eyes at this moment, and a terrifying aura instantly erupted.
It directly pressed down on everyone.
"We, your humble servants, are willing to become vassals of the Dragon Hunting Pirates!"
"We, your humble servants, are willing to become vassals of the Dragon Hunting Pirates!"
…
As the leading person knelt on one knee and began to loudly proclaim the name of the Dragon Hunting Pirates,
Everyone knelt down.
