Chapter 172: Level 3 Pirate Crew

All sank to the bottom of the sea...

Hearing that if she did not comply, the other party would sink all the female warriors on the ship to the bottom of the sea, Avandra froze.

As it was her first time setting sail, this was also the first time she had encountered such a situation.

This left her in a dilemma, unsure for a moment what to do.

Afterwards, she argued:

"They were just preparing to rob you, but they haven't taken action yet."

"Do you think they would have stopped if I were just an ordinary person?" Hearing Avandra's defense, Lin Yu chuckled lightly.

If it weren't for his own overwhelming strength, who knows what those fierce women from Shedao would have done to him.

If it weren't for Hancock's sake, he would have killed these people long ago.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Avandra was utterly dejected; looking at him, she pleaded:

"My lord Lin Yu, may I apologize on their behalf? Just spare them."

"Hahaha." Hearing Avandra's words, Lin Yu laughed heartily and spoke the famous line from his past life: "If apologies were useful, then what would the Navy be for?"

Upon hearing this, Avandra's expression was like a frost-bitten eggplant; she wilted.

In this matter, it was indeed the people of Shedao who were in the wrong; now kicking against an iron plate was their own doing.

Moreover, the Conqueror's Haki Lin Yu had just displayed still left her trembling with fear, making it impossible for her to even conceive of resistance.

"It seems you do not intend to save them; then I will go execute them now."

Seeing Avandra's expression, Lin Yu smiled and added fuel to the fire.

Having finished speaking, he made as if to rise from the bed.

"No!" Hearing Lin Yu's words, Avandra immediately knelt before him, blocking his path.

Seeing Lin Yu's eyes staring straight at her, Avandra pouted her lips and whispered: "I... I promise you, then."

As a national guardian warrior of Shedao, she could never stand by and do nothing while Lady Sandersonia died right before her eyes.

Stepping on Avandra's thigh, Lin Yu stood before her, pinching her pretty face and smiling:

"Avandra, are you willing to join my pirate crew and become my subordinate?"

Avandra pressed her lips together. "I am willing."

【Ding! Avandra has joined the pirate crew, automatically...】

【Ding! The pirate crew meets the upgrade requirements; upgrading in progress...】

【Ding! The pirate crew has upgraded successfully, becoming a Level 3 pirate crew; more positions and special positions are now open...】

【Ding! If the strength of a crew member with whom a bond is formed reaches eight stars or their bounty reaches one billion, the host may select one additional ability of that crew member...】

【Ding! Additional ship binding slots unlocked; current ship binding slots: 1/2】

【Ding...】

Seeing the notifications constantly appearing before his eyes, Lin Yu's heart bloomed with joy.

Afterwards, he looked at the demure Avandra before him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Taming and training such a tall woman gave him a certain strange pleasure and sense of conquest.

Feeling the urge within his body, Lin Yu, standing on Avandra, used the giant arm formed by the Flower-Flower Fruit to move both of them onto the bed.

Next, he wanted to see how useful the Flower-Flower Fruit truly was...

【Name: Avandra】

【Identity: Amazon Lily National Guardian Warrior】

【Special Skill: None】

【Talent: Innate Superhuman Strength】

【Friendship: 50】

【Combat Power: Three Stars】

【Innate Superhuman Strength: Strength far greater than that of ordinary people】

【Benefits: 15 points of Constitution, 15 points of Vitality, 15 points of Spirit per hour, 15 points of Armament Haki per hour; Note: Three-star combat power, benefit effect x3】

Truly worthy of being a national guardian warrior of Shedao; she has already mastered Armament Haki.

And she possesses the talent of Innate Superhuman Strength; truly excellent!!

Lying in the arms of the sleeping Avandra, Lin Yu looked at her information and nodded in satisfaction.

People with talents are quite rare; Lin Yu did not expect Avandra to possess one.

Afterwards, he began to study the effects of the pirate crew system upgrade.

【Level 3 Pirate Crew: Can recruit ten combatants, two chefs, two lookouts, two navigators, one helmsman, two ship doctors, two shipwrights, two laborers, and four special positions, totaling twenty-seven crew members】

【After recruiting twenty-seven crew members and the total bounty of the entire ship reaches 1.5 billion, it can upgrade to a Level 4 pirate crew, unlocking more crew positions and obtaining special rewards】

"It really is twenty-seven crew members."

"Could it be that every time the level increases, nine more crew members are required?"

"Truly no new ideas at all."

Seeing the notification before his eyes, Lin Yu, who had already guessed this result, could not help but complain a few times.

After upgrading to a Level 3 pirate crew, the number of ships Lin Yu could bind had become two.

At the same time, the abilities Lin Yu obtained from crew members changed from one to two.

Obtaining the first ability requires forming a bond; the second requires the bonded crew member's strength to reach eight stars or their bounty to reach one billion.

For Lin Yu, this counted as a significant improvement, though he currently had no use for it.

After all, even Reiju, the highest combat power star on the God Slave, was only at seven-star strength.

As for the bounty, needless to say, the highest besides his was 79 million Berries, belonging to the Demon Child, Nico Robin.

Besides the ability gained increasing from one to two, Lin Yu also obtained an acceleration ability to pair with the 【Training Room】.

【Training Acceleration: Accelerates the time flow within the training area; three minutes in the training area equals one minute outside; unusable during combat】

"A three-to-one training time acceleration feels pretty good!!"

"This way, the strength of Reiju, Nami, Kaya, and the others can be accelerated even further."

Looking at the newly acquired ability, Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

For Lin Yu, who gains more feedback experience the stronger his crew becomes, this 'Training Acceleration' ability is truly perfect for him.

Rising from the fragrant and soft 'Euphrates Brand' large body pillow, Lin Yu stretched and walked out the door.

The moment he stepped out, he saw Vivi on the deck, looking somewhat dejected and occasionally glancing secretly toward the captain's cabin.

Her low strength prevented her from participating in external battles, and now even the chance to serve Lin Yu had been snatched away.

This made Vivi feel extremely distressed, as if she were a useless person.

Seeing Vivi's expression, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, approached her, scooped her up in his arms, and walked toward the large body pillow.

He had just been about to explore the mysteries of life with Vivi when he was interrupted; now he should properly make it up to her.

Held in Lin Yu's arms, Vivi's pretty face flushed red, yet her arms wrapped around Lin Yu's neck refused to let go.

A few days later.

Lin Yu arrived at the waters where the Germa Kingdom was docked and saw Vinsmoke Judge once again.

Judge sat on the throne and, watching Lin Yu walk in, said:

"Your Devour-Devour Fruit machine is ready."
