Chapter 44: Training Room and Position Bonuses

"Miss Valentine, don't get too cocky."

Hearing Miss Valentine's laughter, Vivi, who had lost the duel, gritted her teeth in anger.

Vivi felt that everyone else on the ship was easy to get along with, except for this Miss Valentine, who was extremely unpleasant to her eyes.

Well, mainly because the two of them had already disliked each other when they were in Baroque Works.

Being defeated by her now made Vivi even angrier.

"Yahhahahaha, you couldn't beat me before, and naturally you can't beat me now."

Defeating Vivi, Miss Valentine laughed very wildly.

She regained some confidence from Vivi.

Wait until I get Lin Yu to give me a Devil Fruit, then see how I teach you a lesson.

Hearing Miss Valentine's mockery, Vivi gritted her teeth and made up her mind to get Lin Yu to get her a powerful Devil Fruit.

For this, she was willing to satisfy some of Lin Yu's excessive demands.

Anyway, the two had already taken the final step; in order to become stronger, Vivi couldn't care about so much now.

"Alright, switch people."

"Next pair, Anna and Charlos."

Head Instructor Reiju glanced at the two and began to switch to the other two for sparring to increase their experience.

In the Captain's Cabin.

Lin Yu was carefully studying his pirate crew system, which had been upgraded to Level 2.

[Level 2 Pirate Crew: Can recruit six combatants, two cooks, two lookouts, one navigator, one helmsman, one ship doctor, one shipwright, two handymen, and two special positions, for a total of eighteen crew members.]

[After recruiting eighteen crew members and the total bounty of the ship reaches 1 billion, it can be upgraded to a Level 3 Pirate Crew, opening more crew positions and obtaining special rewards.]

After upgrading to a Level 2 Pirate Crew, Lin Yu's control over the ship was greatly improved, and the crew quota also changed from nine to eighteen.

There was one more shipwright position, one helmsman position, and two special positions.

Special positions could be chosen from instructors, scholars, musicians, snipers, demolitionists, etc.

At the same time, the positions of the crew on Lin Yu's ship were no longer just for show, but would provide position bonuses.

Combatants' training speed would increase, the ship doctor's efficiency in learning medical knowledge would increase, and the handymen's efficiency in cleaning would also speed up...

As for special positions, they would provide some special effects.

For example, the instructor position could improve the crew's training efficiency; the stronger the crew member serving as an instructor and the more they met the position requirements, the greater the improvement obtained.

For example, Reiju, who was currently serving as an instructor, was more suitable than Sara and provided a greater bonus.

This made Lin Yu feel like he was playing a raising game.

In addition, after Lin Yu formed a bond with a crew member, he could choose to obtain one of their abilities at any time.

For example, Miss Doublefinger Sara possessed the talent of Sound Localization and the Thorn-Thorn Devil Fruit ability. After Lin Yu taught her swordsmanship for the first time, he could choose to obtain one of the abilities Sara possessed at that time at any time.

Lin Yu could choose to obtain Sara's ability now.

Or he could wait until Sara obtained a new ability and then choose to obtain her new ability.

Because of this, Kaya had also been pulled into the pirate crew system by Lin Yu and became the ship doctor, while Vivi was adjusted to the combatant position.

Finally, Lin Yu also obtained a special ability after upgrading the pirate crew: Training Room.

[Training Room: Designate a special area on the ship. Crew members training in this area will have their training efficiency doubled.]

This training room was a special reward Lin Yu obtained, which could allow his crew to quickly strengthen their strength. Although the effect was not as good as a Time Chamber, it wasn't much worse.

With the training room, plus the special position bonus of the instructor, the strength of Nojiko, Makino, and others was improving very rapidly now. He believed that it wouldn't be long before their combat power would improve again.

And the higher the combat power of the crew, the more feedback Lin Yu would naturally receive.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before he could successfully reach five-star physical fitness and further strengthen his strength.

And now, because Lin Yu had obtained multiple Devil Fruit abilities, his basic combat power had directly reached six stars on the original basis, becoming an existence like a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral.

Plus the scientific combat suit, it should be no problem to clash with a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.

Subsequently, Lin Yu looked at his current information.

Host: Lin Yu

Physique: Four Stars.

Spirit: Four Stars.

Qi and Blood: Four Stars.

Swordsmanship: Two Stars.

Body Technique: Four Stars.

Armament Haki: Three Stars.

Observation Haki: Two Stars.

Conqueror's Haki: Two Stars.

Special Talents: Endurance, Telepathy, Hearts' Desire.

Special Skills: Authoritative Training, Investigation, Ship Control.

Devil Fruit: System-type o Pirate Crew Fruit, Light-Heavy, Explosion Human, Box-Box...

Basic Combat Power: Six Stars / Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral.

Additional Combat Power: Top Great Swordsman Experience Card / Remaining Uses 2, Scientific Combat Suit.

Note: Combat power is not equal to destructive power.

Seeing that his swordsmanship was only two stars, the great swordsman Lin Yu, who taught the women swordsmanship every day, felt somewhat ashamed.

Because the people around him didn't really use swords, they couldn't provide him with feedback experience, causing his swordsmanship to grow very slowly.

On the contrary, because of the women's daily physical training, his body technique had grown a lot, directly reaching four stars.

And Armament Haki had also reached three stars under Reiju's feedback.

"There is still a long way to go to become a top powerhouse."

"However, in two months, I have directly reached the strength of a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral."

"This System Fruit is a bit too terrifying."

"Of course, compared to the protagonist Monkey D. Luffy, who awakened Conqueror's Haki coating with three strikes, had passive dodging and locked health, and went from the strength of a Yonko's subordinate to the strength of a Yonko's father in one day, it's far behind."

Lin Yu thought about these things while leaving the room, lying on the lounge chair at the bow of the ship, watching the women training.

No scenery could compare to the beautiful scenery composed of pairs of long legs in front of him.

If there was one, it must be the beautiful scenery with Smoothie's long legs added.

Not long after.

The *Shennu* carried Lin Yu and the others to Jiayadao.

Before Lin Yu could get off the ship, everyone found that the sky around Jiayadao was darkening rapidly, as if it were night.

"What happened?"

Looking at the rapidly darkening sky, Kaya spoke in astonishment and hurriedly grabbed Lin Yu's arm.

Only by Lin Yu's side could she feel a sense of security.

"Kaya, don't worry."

Lin Yu comforted Kaya, having some guess in his heart.

He flew to the mid-air of the *Shennu* and saw the *Going Merry* not far from them.

Lin Yu didn't say a word and immediately controlled the *Shennu* to rush over there.

Then, a huge water flow erupted in the sea not far in front of the *Shennu*, forming a huge water column rushing straight into the clouds.

"Is that the huge water column to the Sky Island..."

Seeing the water column that appeared in the original work, Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.

"Nami-chan, Robin-chan, you must wait for me."
