Contract Red Hair Shanks, the school beauty kicked me off the boat

Chapter 227 Unbeatable Luck?

Ye Yu woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated; the soreness in his lower back and legs was gone, which surprised him somewhat.

"Hmm? Although I wasn't injured in this secret realm, it was all exhausting. Even if I recovered my energy and stamina through rest, my body should be sore, but it isn't. Xia Ling, how long have I been asleep?"

"I've slept for a whole day and night."

Zhao Yan'er sighed softly, "Captain, the reason you don't feel any back pain is not only because of your strong body and recovery ability, but mainly because Xia Ling has been massaging you frequently throughout the day and night."

Ye Yu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

At the same time, Ye Yu was taken aback, wondering if he would have had that kind of reaction if it were in the morning.

There was no way around it; I'm in my early twenties now, right in my prime, and besides, Xia Ling was there, giving me a massage the whole time.

Xiao Ke asked curiously, "Captain, what kind of bloodline did you acquire?"

Ye Yu also found out immediately. After all, it was so hard to obtain, and he understood it as soon as possible, making it his own and mastering it as if it were innate.

Ye Yu was excited and happy.

"It's a very good bloodline, I like it very much. It's a transformation type, it will be very cool, and the overall attributes such as speed and strength will be improved. As for the specifics, I won't say for now. This can't be spread out, lest it make those top geniuses even more panicked. The unknown is what's frightening. This is also a trump card. Using it for too long will also make me very weak and consume a lot of energy."

The first mates were happy for Ye Yu. Although they didn't know the specifics, they were happy to know that Ye Yu's strength had increased again.

They left to continue their training, while Xia Ling stayed behind in Ye Yu's room to begin her report.

"We've received a lot of applications these days. This is a list of people without the ability to join. Most of them are in different sea areas and cannot join in a short time, but they can pass the application and assessment first. When they are close by, we can let them board the ship directly."

"it is good."

Ye Yu took the list and looked at it. All along, the list of people without abilities was only for his own eyes, marking the names of the people who had contracts with him.

After watching it for a short while, I saw some familiar names from One Piece, but none of them were particularly powerful.

That's normal, since most of those who were supposed to join have already joined, and there are very few strong solo players left.

When Ye Yu saw the last part, his eyes lit up.

“Jia Zhen, the person who made the contract is Spark Jabba.”

Of course, I knew that this was Jabba, who was on par with Rayleigh and was one of Roger's right-hand men. Roger's two right-hand men were Jabba and Rayleigh.

Ye Yu said, "If this person passes the character assessment, he can directly become a cadre. Although his strength is enough to qualify him as a vice captain, we will not add a vice captain position for now."

"Ok."

At this moment, Xia Ling did not leave, but lowered her head, blushed slightly, and hesitated to speak.

Ye Yu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xia Ling still managed to speak with difficulty: "When I was massaging you, you..."

This made Ye Yu laugh awkwardly: "It happened again? Well, there's nothing I can do about it, it's a natural reaction, it's beyond my control."

Xia Ling knew this was normal; she had seen it before, for example, when Ye Yu was seriously injured and unconscious, she fed him the same thing.

But the main reason he didn't leave was because of his previous promise.

"Ye Yu, I promised you something before."

Ye Yu immediately understood why Xia Ling was blushing and seemed hesitant to speak.

Ye Yu naturally remembered this incident, but he couldn't bring himself to bring it up. He remembered it after that time in the secret realm, but he couldn't very well say directly, "You came out alive, so start helping me."

Ye Yu felt a little embarrassed, but he could bear it. After all, his willpower and self-control were amazing, otherwise he would not have been able to pass through this secret realm. So it was fine if Xia Ling didn't say anything.

But now that Xia Ling has brought it up herself, then...

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yu shook his head and said, "It's okay. This is also a way to hone my willpower. I won't do it myself for now, and it's a very good way to train myself."

"Alright then, but if you really can't take it anymore, this promise is valid. You can contact me anytime, since my room is right here with you."

"it is good."

Xia Ling quickly changed the subject, saying, "Should we hunt down Wang Quanshi and the others? Jin Mo is dead, and his pirate crew joined the Azure Dragon Pirates, but they're still together. Back in the secret realm, there were thirteen pirate crews, but now there aren't thirteen anymore. We have the ability to hunt them down without paying a price. However, they've been running away non-stop, not cultivating, and not profiting."

Ye Yu could also think of this: "In order to survive, we should naturally give up the sea beasts, treasures, etc. There's no need to chase them. Chasing them would be a waste of time and affect our progress. This would make them very uncomfortable and they would get second place. Now we can only focus all our energy on running away from this sea area and we can sail normally."

"Ok."

……

At this moment, on a certain island, there is a city.

A wise-looking, balding middle-aged man in a research lab coat hesitated about whether to sign up, but then decided against it.

"I'm not qualified yet, since I haven't achieved that level. I won't join other pirate crews for now, as that would put me in danger. However, I should stick with some laid-back pirates and avoid taking risks. That way, I won't actively seek out danger, but danger might still come my way. So, I still need to join some laid-back groups."

The man's name was Pang Yan. He had just arrived at a pirate group that was eating and drinking in a tavern.

"Hello, I'm here to sign up."

"What abilities?"

"I am a user of the Brain-Brain Fruit."

The pirates frowned. The Brain-Brain Fruit didn't sound impressive.

Do you have the ability to fight?

"No."

"So what is this ability of yours?"

"I feel like I'm very smart."

"What's the use of being smart? What are the people who make contracts called?"

"My name is Pang Yan, and the one I'm contracted with is Vegapunk."

Upon hearing the name, these people frowned and asked, "Does he possess great strength in the world of One Piece?"

"No need to ask that, I'll find out by testing his strength."

Pang Yan quickly backed away: "Fighting is out of the question, I'm not good at it, but I do have research and development capabilities."

"What are you developing?"

"This... I feel like I can develop powerful humanoid weapons."

This caught their eye.

"Where is it? Let's take a look."

Pang Yan scratched his head: "It hasn't been developed yet, it's missing some things, but in the later stages, I will definitely be able to develop a powerful humanoid weapon."

This made them lose interest.

"Get out of here."

"Are you just making empty promises?"

"We don't support idlers. Even if we're all laid off, we don't need someone as useless as you."

……

Pang Yan left helplessly, but she was used to it. After all, it had happened many times before, and she felt like she was just making empty promises.

"Sigh, I'll join the Tyrant Feather Pirates once I've developed some. Right now, I have nothing, so there's no point in joining."

……

At this moment, on a certain island.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty smell, swept through the town's narrow streets.

Captain Zhang Peng of the Lucky Pirates swaggered along, hands in his pockets, followed by several burly men with askew hats. As a user of the Lucky-Lucky Fruit, he could steal someone's luck simply by touching them, making him increasingly arrogant in this area. Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead. It turned out a group of pirates were counting their treasure in front of a tavern, causing the surrounding civilians to scatter in fright. Zhang Peng smirked and led his men straight toward the pirate crew.

"Hand over the treasure!" Zhang Peng shouted without hesitation, his voice echoing through the streets.

The pirates were taken aback at first, then burst into wild laughter. The leader, a scarred man with two short swords at his waist, stepped forward and said menacingly, "Kid, do you know who you're talking to? You think you can steal our treasure?"

Zhang Peng glanced at them contemptuously, arms crossed, "I don't even need to lift a finger to deal with you." These words ignited the pirates' fury. Scarface drew his dagger, and the other pirates drew their weapons, ready to charge.

Just then, the once clear sky suddenly became overcast, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl ripped through the clouds, striking the pirate group with pinpoint accuracy. Instantly, the smell of burning filled the air, and the struck pirates, their bodies smoking, collapsed straight down. Some pirates managed to escape the lightning strike, but a dilapidated building nearby began to shake under the impact of the lightning, then collapsed with a loud crash, burying the remaining pirates beneath the rubble.

The surrounding crowd stared in disbelief, while Zhang Peng's men cheered. Zhang Peng laughed triumphantly, "See? Even the Tyrant Feather Pirates, who dominate the seas, have to give me a wide berth! Although they are strong, my luck is unmatched!"

As if to confirm his words, a commotion arose from the direction of the harbor. A massive pirate ship slowly approached the shore, its prominent Tyrant Feather emblem on its sails gleaming brightly in the sunlight. Upon hearing the news, Zhang Peng not only remained calm but his eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Let's go! Let's meet the Tyrant Feather Pirates, rob their treasure, and make a name for ourselves in this sea!" Zhang Peng waved his hand and led his men toward the port.

People started talking about it.

"Is Zhang Peng an idiot? How dare he provoke the Tyrant Feather Pirates?"

"Yes, he just made a name for himself, and so many top pirate crews are no match for him, let alone him?"

"You don't know, maybe it's possible, but he has the Luck Fruit, which allows him to steal other people's luck and then make others unlucky. He has a large crew of 100,000, not because he is powerful. He recruits crew members without looking at their strength, as long as they are pirates, because he only borrows their luck."

"I see. This fruit is indeed a bug."

"That's interesting. Doesn't this guy also have a cheat code?"

……

At this moment, Ye Yu was leading several crew members ashore.

Commoners admired it, while pirates held it in awe.

Soon, Zhang Peng and his group arrived in front of Ye Yu.

Zhang Peng didn't mince words and said directly, "Ye Yu, hand over the treasure on your ship!"

Ye Yu frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. After all, the Tyrant Feather Pirates had just made a name for themselves in this area, and no one dared to openly rob them.

"Do you know what you're saying, kid?" Xiao Ke's voice was deep and threatening.

Zhang Peng smiled nonchalantly: "Stop talking nonsense. I'll give you two choices: either obediently hand over the treasure, or you'll end up like that group of pirates."

The crew members beside Ye Yu could not contain themselves and drew their weapons one after another.

Xiao Ke fired the first shot, and after aiming, he felt that Zhang Peng was about to die.

Ye Yu didn't act immediately; he decided to observe first.

However, Zhang Peng did not move, confident that he would not die.

This surprised the crew.

"Aren't you going to dodge?"

"Then he will surely die."

However, when Xiao Ke pulled the trigger, no shot was fired; his expression changed slightly—the bullet had jammed.

"Huh? What happened? Is it because it's been used for too long? I remember it was recently serviced, how could this be?"

Xiao Ke examined the gun in his hand, trying to find out what the problem was.

Sun Long drew his sword and stepped forward: "Let me handle this."

He charged straight in, ready to finish off his opponent with a single slash.

However, Zhang Peng took out a coin.

"One coin is enough to deal with you."

Sun Long felt underestimated, after all, he was a cadre.

But as the coin was tossed, suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the dark sky, aiming to hit the coin. However, because the coin was getting close to Sun Long, it also became the target.

This time, the lightning was even more powerful.

Zhang Peng sighed inwardly, "They're really strong. They used up a lot of my luck."

You can feel that a lot has been consumed.

Sun Long's expression changed, and he quickly countered, unleashing a slash that shattered the lightning, forcing him to retreat two steps.

Sun Long didn't believe it, but a smile played on his lips: "That's interesting."

As he prepared to charge forward again, Zhang Peng still did not dodge.

But just as he was about to make a move, Sun Long's expression changed drastically again.

Zhang Peng remained calm, confident that he had plenty of luck left, that he wouldn't die, and that more good fortune would come his way.

Suddenly, strange phenomena appeared in the sky.

Many people's expressions changed drastically.

"Look at the sky!"

"what is that?"

"It's a meteorite!"

……

A burst of light appeared, turning the sky a brilliant red, and a small meteorite suddenly fell from the sky.

The islanders panicked.

"How unlucky! A meteorite suddenly fell, and right here." "Don't panic, Ye Yu is here."

"Thunder and meteorites, is this Zhang Peng's ability?"

Sun Long immediately leaped up.

"Nine mountains and eight seas, one world..." With the chant, the final strike was unleashed.

"One Great Thousand Worlds!"

The meteorite wasn't very big and was shattered, but Sun Long was still affected, staggering backward after landing, his arms aching.

At this moment, Ye Yu raised his hand to signal them to calm down.

"Everyone, don't move, I'll do it."

Before Ye Yu stood there, his gaze fixed on Zhang Peng: "It seems you do indeed possess the Fruit of Luck, a very good ability, but against me, that may not be the case."

Zhang Peng's heart sank, but he maintained a calm facade. He took a deep breath and said to Ye Yu, "I'm going to take your treasure today. Hand it over, and even you can't kill me, and you might even be affected!" After saying that, he gave his men a wink, and they fanned out to surround Ye Yu and his group.

Ye Yu sneered, "Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish."

Ye Yu wasn't worried, after all, he had an extremely strong domineering aura, and this person was just relying on his ability, so his domineering aura could affect his ability.

At this moment, Wu Xingyun's eyes lit up.

"Captain, let me do it first."

A huge bullet was fired, and Zhang Peng flicked out a coin, dismissively.

The massive bullet engulfed the coin. Zhang Peng watched the bullet approach, unfazed, confident he wouldn't be hit. But the next instant, nature suddenly exploded, eliciting a scream as he was pierced and blasted backward.

"How can it be."

Wu Xingyun said, "You've won the lottery."
