New World.
The Pleasure Quarter Queen, Stussy, sat elegantly in a chair, painting her nails.
"What a curious person." Stussy looked at Kevin's photo with interest: "The Five Elders must have another headache."
"Drip, drip, drip!"
A specially encrypted telephone transponder snail rang.
Stussy's eyes widened, and she quickly cleared out her subordinates.
"Stussy, I'm giving you a new mission: infiltrate the Sun and Moon Pirates, investigate all the secrets of the Sun and Moon Pirates, hide yourself, and look for opportunities."
The Five Elders issued the command.
Stussy's expression slowly solidified.
It was this mission.
"Five Elders, I have already become friends with Linlin. If I leave now, all my previous efforts will be in vain," Stussy said with a hint of resentment in her tone.
So many years of effort.
With one sentence, it was all for nothing.
"The Sun and Moon Pirates are more important than the BIG MOM Pirates!"
Stussy's small mouth slightly parted.
In the eyes of the Five Elders, the weight of the Sun and Moon Pirates actually surpassed the entire BIG MOM Pirates.
Stussy understood how strong the BIG MOM Pirates were.
Terrifyingly strong.
Charlotte Linlin, the strongest woman on the sea, her children all possessed super strong combat power, the entire Pirate Crew numbered over ten thousand, and their influence covered dozens of islands.
Such a force.
Compared to the Whitebeard Pirates, they were not inferior.
As for the Sun and Moon Pirates.
In Stussy's eyes, it was just Kevin and Gyon.
She didn't agree that two people could be more important than the entire BIG MOM Pirates.
"If I leave now, not only will my previous efforts be wasted, but Charlotte Linlin is also hosting a tea party next month and has already invited me. If I don't go, it means I'll offend Charlotte Linlin, and I'll never have another chance to get close to her."
"You just need to carry out the mission. Act immediately and enter the Sun and Moon Pirates as quickly as possible."
The Five Elders gave a strict order.
Regardless of Stussy's thoughts.
She hung up the telephone transponder snail.
Stussy stared blankly at Kevin's photo.
Gazing at Kevin's photo, she smiled faintly, "Little brother, your big sister can eat people."
Stussy put away the telephone transponder snail and immediately convened the high-ranking officials of the Pleasure Quarter.
The next day.
Stussy departed by ship.
Leaving the New World.
Although no one knew the current location of Kevin and the Sun and Moon Pirates, Stussy guessed that they were most likely still in the first half of the Grand Line.
....
The Tomorrow.
It had already arrived near the initial sea area of the first half of the Grand Line.
Near an island named Jaya Island.
"The Rising Current won't appear until five months from now." After receiving the news, Kevin no longer lingered.
He intended to lead his ship to Skypiea.
The purpose was for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which might not have been eaten by Eneru yet.
He wanted to become stronger.
While recruiting crew members, he also wanted to enhance their strength.
For example, Gyon, who previously obtained the Mythical Zoan Phoenix Fruit, instantly gained over fifty thousand combat power, and then within less than a month, Gyon's combat power increased by another ten thousand.
Reaching two hundred twenty thousand combat power.
Powerful Devil Fruits provide an exaggerated increase in strength.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is known as the strongest Devil Fruit.
Kevin definitely wanted to obtain it.
"Besides the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, there's also a perfect Devil Fruit whose location is known." This referred to the Mythical Zoan Vampire form, located in the New World.
"I need to quickly obtain the Supreme Grade Swords Ace, and also recruit more crew members."
There were too few crew members.
The number of strong female individuals available for selection was limited.
Many were still in the New World.
Or with other forces.
"Let's go!"
The Tomorrow continued sailing towards Reverse Mountain.
Sun and Moon Pirates:
Captain: Kevin! Bounty: 800 million.
Vice-Captain: Gyon: Mythical Zoan-Phoenix Form (Combat Power: 221035), Bounty: 750 million.
Administrator: Hancock: Paramecia-type Sweet Fruit (Combat Power: 28963), Bounty: 140 million.
Helmsman: Boa Sandersonia: Zoan Type Anaconda Form (Combat Power: 4365), Bounty: 33 million.
Errand Runner: Boa Marigold: Zoan Type Cobra Form (Combat Power: 4023), Bounty: 30 million.
External Intelligence Officer: Shaki (Combat Power: 60893), Bounty: over 500 million.
Apprentice Pirate: Koala (Combat Power: 56): Bounty: 100 Berries.
The bounties increased significantly.
Their strength also increased.
Aside from Gyon's combat power improving rapidly.
The Hancock three sisters, who were training Haki, also increased their strength quickly, especially Hancock, whose strength was increasing crazily every day.
Kevin's combat power reached around two hundred eighty thousand.
[Achievement Points: 145360], over one hundred forty thousand.
Achievement Point Reward: Ship Spirit; Pirate Ship gains one hour of invincibility per day.
Next level, two hundred thousand Achievement Points, Reward: Crew members gain one resurrection per month.
Although he had known this for a long time.
But when Kevin saw the resurrection reward.
His breathing couldn't help but become heavy.
"I need to quickly increase my Achievement Points and gain the resurrection ability."
In a great mood, Kevin couldn't help but feel grateful to Akainu and the World Government, good people.
They provided Devil Fruits and so many Achievement Points.
....
The Tomorrow continued along a secluded route.
Getting closer and closer to Reverse Mountain, the entrance to the Grand Line.
Three days later.
A misty uninhabited island appeared ahead.
"It's an active volcanic island."
Gyon looked at the island through a telescope: "Kevin, do we need to rest for a bit? Replenish some fresh meat and fresh water?"
Kevin nodded, "Alright."
"Kevin, there are people on the volcano."
Kevin quickly looked up.
The distance was too great for even Observation Haki to sense them clearly.
He could vaguely make out two figures on the towering volcano on the island.
Kevin's eyes lit up.
"Good luck, we might even gain a new member."
The Tomorrow increased its speed.
It rapidly headed towards the uninhabited volcanic island.
