Chapter 89: Training Room and Position Bonuses

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

Hearing Miquita's laughter, the defeated Vivie gritted her teeth in rage.

Everyone else on the ship, Vivie found easy to get along with—except Miquita, who irritated her intensely.

Well, mainly because they had already disliked each other since their time at Baroque Works.

Losing to her now made Vivie even angrier.

"Yahahaha, you couldn't beat me before, and you certainly can't beat me now."

After defeating Vivie, Miquita laughed with wild arrogance.

She regained a bit of confidence by besting Vivie.

Wait until I get Lin Yu to give me a Devil Fruit—I'll show you what I'll do to you then.

Hearing Miquita's taunt, Vivie gritted her teeth and resolved to make Lin Yu get her a powerful Devil Fruit.

To that end, she was willing to fulfill some of Lin Yu's excessive demands.

After all, they had already crossed the final line—now, for the sake of becoming stronger, Vivie didn't care anymore.

"Alright, next pair."

"Next up, Anna and Sharulia."

Chief Instructor Rejio glanced at the two, then switched them out for another pair to train, thereby increasing everyone's experience.

In the captain's cabin.

Lin Yu was now carefully studying his upgraded Level Two Pirate Crew system.

【Level Two Pirate Crew: Can recruit six fighters, two chefs, two lookouts, one navigator, one helmsman, one ship's doctor, one shipwright, two laborers, and two special positions—total of eighteen crew members】

【After recruiting eighteen crew members and reaching a total bounty of one billion, the crew can upgrade to Level Three, unlocking more crew slots and receiving special rewards】

After upgrading to a Level Two Pirate Crew, Lin Yu's control over the ship greatly increased, and the crew capacity rose from nine to eighteen.

One shipwright position, one helmsman position, and two special positions were added.

Special positions can be chosen from roles such as instructor, scholar, musician, sniper, or demolitions expert.

Meanwhile, the crew positions on Lin Yu's ship were no longer mere decorations—they now provided position bonuses.

Fighters' cultivation speed increases, the ship's doctor's efficiency in Learning Medical Arts improves, laborers' cleaning speed accelerates...

Special positions grant additional unique effects.

For example, the instructor position boosts crew cultivation efficiency—the stronger the crew member serving as instructor, and the more suited they are to the role, the greater the bonus.

For instance, Rejio, currently serving as instructor, is more suitable than Sara and thus gains a greater bonus.

This made Lin Yu feel as if he were playing a cultivation simulation game.

Additionally, after forming a bond with a crew member, Lin Yu can, at any time, choose to acquire one of their abilities.

For example, Miss Double-Finger Sara possesses the talent of sound-based positioning and the Thorns Devil Fruit ability—after Lin Yu first taught her swordplay, he could, at any time, choose to acquire one of the abilities she possessed at that moment.

Lin Yu could choose to acquire Sara's abilities right now.

Or he could wait until Sara gains a new ability, then choose to acquire that new one instead.

Because of this, Kaya has now been brought into the Pirate Crew system as the ship's doctor, while Vivie has been reassigned to the fighter position.

Finally, upgrading his Pirate Crew granted Lin Yu a special ability: the Training Room.

【Training Room: Designate a special area on the ship where crew members cultivate, gaining double cultivation efficiency】

This Training Room was Lin Yu's special reward, enabling his crew to rapidly strengthen their power—though not as potent as the Time Chamber, it was nearly as effective.

With the Training Room and the instructor's positional bonus, Nokiko, Machino, and others are now advancing rapidly—soon, their combat power will rise again.
