Chapter 4: King of the World

North Blue.

The Marine headquarters base in the North Blue.

In the communications room.

Purupuru! Purupuru!

Click!

"Hello!"

The Marine in the communications room picked up the Den Den Mushi with one hand and took a pen to record with the other.

"This is the CP0 North Blue branch. Celestial Dragons have been attacked in the Kachinobu Kingdom of the North Blue. Dispatch Marine reinforcements immediately!"

"What, Celestial Dragons were attacked?" The communications Marine was stunned, finding it hard to believe.

Who was so bold as to attack the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons...

"Don't talk nonsense, dispatch reinforcements immediately!"

A roar came from the Den Den Mushi, and then the line went dead.

The communications Marine didn't dare to delay and immediately ran to the base commander's office.

"Vice Admiral Dolo, Celestial Dragons have been attacked in the Kachinobu Kingdom, requesting reinforcements."

Pushing open the office door, the communications Marine shouted at the figure by the window.

"What did you say? World Nobles were attacked?"

Vice Admiral Dolo turned around abruptly, speaking in astonishment; he suspected he had misheard.

"Yes, Vice Admiral!" the communications Marine confirmed again. ===== CHAPTER 9 =====

Vice Admiral Dolo was shocked, finally believing the fact that the Celestial Dragons had been attacked, and roared:

"Pass the order, all Marines begin assembling!"

"Prepare to depart in half an hour!"

If something happened to the Celestial Dragons in his jurisdiction, he, Dolo, would definitely be targeted by the World Government's wrath.

"Yes!" The communications Marine hurriedly ran toward the communications room.

Woo woo!!!

Subsequently, an emergency assembly signal sounded throughout the Marine base.

Half an hour later.

Five warships, led by Vice Admiral Dolo, sailed toward the Kachinobu Kingdom.

The next morning.

Lin Yu sat on the throne of the Kachinobu Kingdom.

In front of the throne knelt a crowd of nobles, ministers, and noblewomen.

These people would occasionally steal a glance at Lin Yu sitting on the throne, as well as Shalria kneeling beside him, their hearts filled with horror.

"To actually dare to do such a thing to World Nobles, this person is truly reckless..."

"However, that arrogant World Noble lady is now crawling beside this person like a dog; it's truly the first time I've seen this..."

"This person will definitely not escape the Marines' pursuit..."

Ignoring the whispers below, Lin Yu stroked Shalria's head as if stroking a pet.

At his feet, the Celestial Dragon Shalria, dressed in a maid outfit, knelt there, wearing the special collar, gritting her teeth as she massaged his thighs.

Although after a night of swordsmanship education, under the effect of "one-point connection," Shalria's friendliness toward Lin Yu had risen rapidly.

But after reaching -50 from -200, it stopped changing, providing Lin Yu with only 1 point of physique per hour.

Lin Yu knew this was because he had killed Shalria's father and brother.

The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable; Lin Yu could understand that.

Regarding this, Lin Yu didn't mind, because he had successfully acquired knowledge related to her skill, "Authoritative Training."

It was precisely by using this skill that Lin Yu was able to make the ministers of the Kachinobu Kingdom behave obediently, supported by his Conqueror's Haki.

"Master, this is the list of all the treasures in the Kachinobu Kingdom's treasury."

Princess Anna, also dressed in a maid outfit, came before Lin Yu, knelt on the ground, and presented the list in her hands.

With Lin Yu's help in completing her revenge against Shalria, plus a night of swordsmanship education.

Princess Anna's friendliness toward Lin Yu had reached 60, providing Lin Yu with 6 points of Qi and Blood per hour.

Under the blessing of Authoritative Training, she was very obedient to Lin Yu.

"Oh, there's actually a Skillful Grade sword."

Looking at the treasure list, Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Because of the Top-Tier Swordsman Experience Card, Lin Yu prepared to follow the path of a swordsman.

And the swords in the pirate world are divided into Supreme Grade, Great Grade, Skillful Grade, Grade, and ordinary swords.

Among them, there are 12 Supreme Grade swords, 21 Great Grade swords, and 50 Skillful Grade swords.

In other words, there are only 83 famous swords of Skillful Grade or higher in the pirate world!

Even the Sandai Kitetsu given to Zoro by the weapon shop owner in Loguetown, and the Shigure in Tashigi's hand, were only Grade swords.

This was why Lin Yu was surprised to see a Skillful Grade sword in the Kachinobu Kingdom's treasury.

"Load these things and the money they handed over onto the Celestial Dragon's ship, then load enough food and wine."

Casually tossing the list in his hand to Anna, Lin Yu began to give orders.

By now, he had learned from Shalria the purpose of the Den Den Mushi that Rosward had crushed.

The news of him killing the Celestial Dragons must have leaked out.

However, the nearest Marine base to the Kachinobu Kingdom would take at least a day to reach it.

So Lin Yu wasn't in a hurry.

"Yes, Master."

Anna heard the order and immediately walked out of the palace, ordering the kingdom's guards and servants to move the things in the treasury and the "life-buying money" handed over by the ministers and noblewomen.

Because the Celestial Dragons had driven everyone in the Kachinobu palace out the night before, others didn't know what had happened inside.

And because Anna had helped Lin Yu torture Shalria the night before, she could only follow Lin Yu down this path to the end.

So she had no objections to Lin Yu's arrangements; she also hoped to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Seeing Anna leave, Lin Yu began to use the system to check his current information.

Host: Lin Yu

Physique: 1 Star.

Spirit: 1 Star.

Qi and Blood: 1 Star.

Swordsmanship: 1 Star.

Body Technique: 1 Star.

Armament Haki: 2 Stars.

Observation Haki: 2 Stars.

Conqueror's Haki: 2 Stars.

Special Talents: Endurance, Telepathy.

Special Skills: Authoritative Training, Investigation, Ship Control.

Devil Fruit: System-type: Crew-Crew Fruit: Pirate Crew Fruit.

Basic Combat Power: 2 Stars / Marine Headquarters Ensign.

Additional Combat Power: Top-Tier Swordsman Experience Card / 2 uses remaining.

Note: Ability levels 1-3 are Beginner, 4-6 are Intermediate, 7-9 are Advanced, 10 is Top-Tier!

Note: Combat power is not equal to destructive power.

Note: Only a Marine Sergeant who has trained for years can have a physique reaching 1 Star.

"Marine Headquarters Ensign, huh."

"With this rank, I can already wear the cloak of justice."

Looking at his information, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, his mood quite good.

Because he had eaten the Devil Fruit, Lin Yu's basic quality directly reached 1 Star, and combined with the awakened three types of Haki, his combat power successfully reached 2 Stars, reaching the level of a Marine Headquarters Ensign.

Don't underestimate this 1-star increase in basic quality; this is the fundamental reason for the gap between Lin Yu and ordinary guard soldiers.

According to the system, ordinary people like Anna and Shalria have no star rating at all; only a Marine Sergeant who has trained for years can have a 1-star physique.

What is a Marine Sergeant who has trained for years?

When Tashigi appeared in Loguetown, she was a Marine Sergeant.

Two years later, she was a Marine Headquarters Ensign, equivalent to Lin Yu's current strength.

Although Tashigi was only a Sergeant when she first appeared, her strength at the time was far beyond other ordinary Marine soldiers.

This is the gap between a 1-star physique and ordinary people.

It wasn't until noon that Anna finally finished loading the things from the treasury.

And Lin Yu also brought Shalria and boarded this gargantuan ship that originally belonged to the Celestial Dragons.

In the pirate world, ship sizes are divided into micro, small, medium, large, and gargantuan.

The Going Merry is a micro ship, the Thousand Sunny is a medium ship, ordinary warships are large ships, and the largest Marine warships are gargantuan.

[Ding! Detected that the host has stepped onto an ownerless ship. Do you want to bind it?]

[After binding, the host can freely control the ship with the Ship Control ability]

[Ship bound. Please name it:]

Lin Yu glanced at Shalria, who was following him wearing the special collar, and smiled slightly.

"God's Slave!"

[Ding! Naming successful. Obtained Pirate Crew Flagship: God's Slave!]

The next moment.

The sails on the God's Slave automatically lowered, the rudder rotated and adjusted automatically, the ship left the shore, and sailed toward the depths of the sea. ===== CHAPTER 10 =====
