Pirate Plunder

Aboard the One-Eyed Wolf Pirate Crew's ship.

"Boss, that giant ship is probably a cargo vessel. There don't seem to be many people on board."

"And there aren't any cannon ports sticking out, either. It probably doesn't have much defensive strength."

The One-Eyed Wolf Pirate Crew's vice-captain came to Captain Lao Du's side and said gleefully.

A giant cargo ship like that would be enough to keep them living it up for years if they pulled off this one score.

Then Lao Lang added lecherously, "And I spotted several fine beauties on board. Captain, you'll get to have some fun later."

The one-eyed pirate captain, Lao Du, immediately brightened at those words. He looked at Vice-Captain Lao Lang, and the two burst into laughter in unison.

Behind them, the One-Eyed Wolf Pirate Crew members were also wildly excited.

Every successful raid gave them the means to keep enjoying themselves.

And after the boss got tired of those women, he might let them have their fun too. Then they could sell the women on the Black Market and make another profit. They had done this sort of thing many times before.

"Men, put some muscle into it later! Money and women are waiting for us!"

As his pirate ship was about to approach the God Slave, Lao Du transformed into a werewolf and raised an arm, shouting to stir them up.

"OOH!!"

The One-Eyed Wolf Pirate Crew erupted in thunderous cheers.

"..."

The cheers had barely begun before they came to an abrupt stop.

They saw one hundred cannons suddenly extend from the God Slave's side, all aimed directly at them.

We're finished!

Cold sweat instantly poured down every member of the One-Eyed Wolf Pirate Crew's face as the same thought flashed through their minds. Then they were swallowed by cannon fire.

BOOM!!!

A deafening barrage erupted, instantly destroying the One-Eyed Wolf pirate ship.

The simultaneous firing of one hundred heavy cannons not only reduced the One-Eyed Wolf pirate ship to ashes in an instant, but even shoved the God Slave sideways for a distance from the recoil.

Anna and Reiju were both stunned as they watched the pirate ship get blasted into a pile of fragments in the blink of an eye.

They had long known that the God Slave was immensely powerful in Lin Yu's hands, but seeing it instantly destroy a pirate ship nearly as large as the God Slave still left them deeply shaken.

Even Charloss was slightly surprised. Although she understood the power of the God Slave's cannons very well, this was still the first time she had seen a single volley destroy a large pirate ship.

In the past, under CP0's command, it generally took two or three volleys to completely destroy a medium-sized pirate ship. A large vessel like the One-Eyed Wolf's required several rounds.

Yet in Lin Yu's hands, just one volley was enough to destroy it completely...

Of course, Charloss understood the reason. Lin Yu's volley was a true simultaneous volley, while everyone else's shots were staggered, greatly reducing their power.

Lin Yu paid no attention to their reactions. Instead, he stared at the System Prompt that had just appeared.

Ding! The One-Eyed Wolf Pirate Crew has been eliminated. You may automatically obtain the enemy's treasure and Bounty, or forfeit the treasure to obtain the enemy's Devil Fruit.

Automatically obtain their treasure and Bounty... Isn't that pirate plunder?

Forfeit the treasure to obtain their Devil Fruit ability...

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes at that and directly chose to forfeit the treasure in exchange for the Devil Fruit.

Before overwhelming strength, money was merely an external possession.

Ding! Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit: Snow Wolf Form, valued at 130 million Berries. The One-Eyed Wolf Pirate Crew's treasure and Bounty total 90 million Berries. To obtain this Devil Fruit, you must pay 40 million Berries or treasure of equivalent value.

Do you wish to pay?

Lin Yu smiled when he saw that. Isn't this basically buying a Devil Fruit with money?

Still, even if he had to buy Devil Fruits, this ability to plunder powers was unquestionably a tremendous weapon for Lin Yu!

From now on, he only needed to hunt pirates with Devil Fruits to quickly arm his women, further strengthening his own growth in power.

After choosing to pay, a strange-looking white melon-shaped Devil Fruit appeared in Lin Yu's hand.

After looting the Kachinobu Kingdom's treasury and the Celestial Dragon ship's treasures, he had cargo worth a full two billion Berries aboard. A mere forty million Berries was nothing to him.

"A Devil Fruit?"

Reiju, Charloss, and Anna were all startled when they saw the Devil Fruit suddenly appear in Lin Yu's hand.

Lin Yu had clearly made no movement at all, yet a Devil Fruit had suddenly appeared. It left them utterly puzzled.

"This is Lao Du's Snow Wolf Fruit," Lin Yu explained, his gaze shifting repeatedly between Anna and Charloss.

He was considering which of them should eat this Devil Fruit.

"Nani?"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Reiju, Anna, and Charloss were shocked once more.

They stared at the Devil Fruit in Lin Yu's hand with utter disbelief.

He... he could actually steal someone else's Devil Fruit ability!!!

The three women looked as though they had seen a ghost, their eyes wide and mouths agape in exaggerated shock.

"Come here, Charloss."

Lin Yu glanced at the Special Necklace around Charloss's neck and beckoned to her.

"M-Master..." Charloss walked up to Lin Yu in alarm, stammering as she spoke.

She could not help it. Lin Yu's ability to seize someone else's Devil Fruit power was simply too monstrous, leaving Charloss unsure how to face him for a moment.

"Open your mouth." Lin Yu peeled the Devil Fruit in his hand and ordered her.

"Ah." Charloss guessed what Lin Yu intended. She froze slightly, then obediently opened her mouth.

A Zoan-type Devil Fruit had once meant nothing to her.

But now, it was the thing she desired most. Among all Devil Fruits, Zoan types provided the strongest boosts to physical strength and recovery.

As long as she ate this Devil Fruit, she would no longer need to suffer through exhausting physical training every day.

Moreover, she had not expected Lin Yu to feed her a Devil Fruit first. In her eyes, she was clearly the lowest-ranking person aboard the ship, and this moved her slightly.

Ding! Charloss's favorability toward the host has increased...

Ding! Charloss's favorability toward the host has increased...

Beside them, Anna pursed her lips, looking thoroughly displeased. She was dying of jealousy inside as she pondered how she could earn Lin Yu's favor in the future.

Reiju had no particular thoughts about that. She was still shocked by Lin Yu's ability to plunder Devil Fruits.

To her, it meant that as long as she remained by Lin Yu's side, she would possess limitless possibilities.

Glancing at Charloss's favorability, which had already risen to 50, Lin Yu cut off a small piece of the Devil Fruit with his knife and held it out before her.

Charloss stretched out her neck and obediently ate it.

"Ugh..."

After eating the small piece of Devil Fruit, Charloss covered her mouth, her face darkening.

It was simply too disgusting!

Seeing Charloss's expression, Lin Yu chuckled and cut off another piece of Devil Fruit, holding it out to her.

One bite was all it took to gain a Devil Fruit's power, but Lin Yu found Charloss amusing to watch as she ate, so he wanted to keep feeding her.

Although Charloss looked miserable, she did not hesitate. She continued opening her mouth and eating the Devil Fruit from Lin Yu's hand, appearing exceptionally obedient.

Lin Yu continued feeding her the Devil Fruit as he watched the pained expression on Charloss's face.

Reiju rolled her eyes at Lin Yu's roundabout "torture."

After feeding her the entire Devil Fruit, Lin Yu stroked Charloss's head as though petting a pet.

"Get used to it first."

"Come to my room tonight."
