Chapter 74 - Chapter 74 The Ship Was 'Acquired', The Crew Was Also 'Acquired'

At this moment, Dio felt as refreshed as changing into new underwear on the morning of a new year.

Jin's words reminded him of a youth he had met before renting in Egypt, whom he regarded as a close friend.

This Evil Savior couldn't help but feel a sense of 'finally, there is someone in the world who understands me'.

But to be honest, Jin's words weren't entirely deception.

Although Dio was undoubtedly a complete bastard-

One couldn't deny that this guy truly had charm.

Just by going all the way with the concept of 'evil', he was already leagues ahead of many redeemed villains.

Yes, those like others, Caesar, Buggy and their lot.

If you're going to be evil, be evil to the end.

What's the deal with flip-flopping between black and white?

Isn't that disgusting?

[Dio: @Jin, Ahahaha! Kid! Well said, I acknowledge you!]

[Dio: My [The World] is yours to use! With this, you are the King of the World!]

As soon as he finished speaking, the system's notification sound rang out.

[Ding! Group member, Dio, has sent a dedicated red packet [The World] to group member, Jin.]

Jin's heart leapt with joy.

But to be honest, [King of the World] was an exaggeration.

Let's not even mention the big shots in [Dragon Ball World], if you're going to boast like that-

Have you asked the old man Yamamoto, the current top fighter in this group?

But even so, Jin couldn't contain his good mood.

Just like when he went to Kumogakure to capture Gyuki-

It was true that these things didn't massively increase his combat power.

But they were just so cool!

Jin glanced at the beauty in his arms, couldn't resist lowering his head to steal a couple more kisses, and laughed heartily:

"Nami! You are really my lucky star! Mwah!"

"Y-You crazy bastard! I'm telling you! One day I'm going to kill you!"

Nami, who had been subjected to a hat-trick of sneak attacks, shouted angrily.

She felt her lips were swollen.

...

By the time Jin successfully returned-

The sunrise of the second day was almost rising over the horizon.

"Girls! Wake up and welcome our navigator!"

Landing on the deck paved with artificial turf, Jin found the three little ones curled up together, asleep next to the mast.

Jin patted their little heads.

Soon after-

The three lolis rubbed their still somewhat drowsy eyes as they gradually woke up.

Konan: "Nii~ Jin-nii, we waited for you for so long yesterday~"

Rin: "Sorry, we couldn't help but fall asleep."

Kurenai: "An-, another huge one... it feels like they can rival Tsunade-sama's..."

The three lolis opened their eyes to look at Nami.

The three of them combined weren't much older than Nami. Their gazes were primarily focused on those two mounds.

They couldn't help but think of the woman who had already returned to her bedroom.

'Hers were super exaggerated too.'

'What's going on with this world?'

'Does every woman have such good nutrition here?'

The three lolis felt they must stay in this world during their development period.

This world must definitely be more beneficial for their 'growth'.

"Th-, this is... the Thousand Sunny... you, you..."

Nami, however, had no mind to pay attention to these three little things staring intently at her 'cafeteria'.

She looked in shock at the ship beneath her feet.

Seeing her pirate crew's beloved ship again after a year and a half, she should have been happy.

But, when she saw the emblem engraved on the sail, which was not the past skull wearing a straw hat and was replaced by a new skull with a table tennis paddle emblem behind it...

It was a miracle Nami didn't faint from anger.

"You... you..."

Nami pointed at Jin for a long time, unable to get a word out.

Should she curse?

If cursing worked, she wouldn't have been forcibly brought here.

Fight?

Well, she'd have to be able to win.

Speaking of which, aside from the top three fighters of the Straw Hat Pirates, Jin wondered what had the others been training for these two years?

They didn't even know Haki.

"Isn't this great? Being the navigator on the ship you're most familiar with. I went through all kinds of hardships to seize this ship back from the Marines, just to accommodate your feelings, Nami-chan."

Hearing Jin's nonsense, the three lolis almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

After all, it was just a load of crap.

When he stole the ship, Jin hadn't even thought about the navigator issue at all.

He just did whatever came to mind.

Click~

Just then, the door to a bedroom on the second floor of the Thousand Sunny opened.

Hancock walked out, her face as sour as yesterday's.

"Huh? You actually didn't run away?"

Jin raised an eyebrow.

Hancock secretly rolled her eyes, thinking, 'Would running be useful?'

'Wouldn't you just go to Amazon Lily to capture me before I even got there?'

'You might even arrive before me.'

Moreover, Hancock didn't want to involve the ordinary citizens of Amazon Lily.

At this moment, Hancock on the second floor and Nami on the deck locked eyes.

Hancock: "You..."

Nami: "You are... one of the Warlords, the legendary Pirate Empress?! Y-You're also his crew member?"

"I am not! This one was merely kidnapped by him!"

Hancock said furiously.

Nami didn't know that Hancock had assisted Luffy.

But Hancock was well aware that the woman in front of her was Luffy's crewmate.

Therefore, she had always regarded the other as a love rival.

Originally, Hancock didn't want to pay her any mind, but hearing Nami say that she was Jin's crew member, Hancock couldn't take it anymore.

"You're really something, daring to kidnap a Warlord."

Nami sneered, glancing at Jin.

Before Jin could answer, a row of News Coos flew overhead in formation.

Seeing the ship below, one of them dropped a newspaper from its bag.

"Free distribution?"

Nami was taken aback.

In the Straw Hat Pirates, she was not only the navigator, but also acted as the 'Intelligence Chief'.

After all, among the Straw Hats, only she and Robin really used their brains.

She had always followed world events through the news.

Of course, she also knew that if the News Coos distributed newspapers for free, it must mean something big enough to change the world's landscape had happened.

However, when she opened the newspaper and saw the emblem on it, Nami's beautiful face turned pale instantly.

[The Most Terrifying Rookie in History, Controlling a Mysterious Sea King, Single-handedly Heavily Injures the Red Hair Pirates, Kills Their Sniper, Yasopp! [Dark Destruction God] Jin, Bounty 2,280,000,000 Berry! [Rap-loving Octopus] Gyuki, Bounty 1,000,000,000 Berry! [Paper Angel] Konan, Bounty 33,000,000 Berry!]

Inside the newspaper were three bounty posters.

The first was Jin raising his head, his Mangekyo Sharingan's pattern visible.

He looked at the camera with an evil expression.

The second was Gyuki twisting its neck, roaring and yelling with its bloody maw wide open.

The third showed Konan spreading paper wings, soaring over the sea, as if entering an 'Elementalization' state.

"You... you killed Usopp's father..."

Nami was simply stunned.

Although she had been captured by Jin, his face, still bearing a youthful immaturity, was extremely deceptive.

Before Nami thought that, no matter how strong he was, he wouldn't be really strong. And at most, he would only be at Luffy and Zoro's level.

Yet who would have thought that the Red Hair Pirates, one of the Four Emperors and Luffy's guides, would actually... and the one who died was Usopp's own father!

'How... how is this possible!?'

"This photo wasn't taken well."

Jin didn't answer Nami, but instead expressed dissatisfaction with the photo on his bounty poster.

'And what the hell is this [Dark Destruction God] epithet?'

'You might as well call me [Lich King] or [Deathwing]!'

"Why does even Konan-nee have a bounty, but me and Rin are left out?"

Kurenai pouted unhappily.

She didn't really care about the bounty poster itself.

But the problem was Jin, Konan, and even that octopus Gyuki had one.

While she didn't.

It gave her a feeling of being left out.

"Don't be angry, Kurenai. We were knocked out, remember?"

When mentioning this, Rin also looked ashamed.

After all, fainting before even participating in the fight was somewhat embarrassing.

"In that case, just work hard to get stronger."

Jin patted their heads encouragingly.

Konan getting a 33 million Berry bounty was actually appropriate.

Although she basically didn't participate in the fight, the Marines mistakenly thought she was a Logia user.

That alone made her worth tens of millions.

Splash!

At that moment, the sea surface beside the Thousand Sunny splashed up a hundred-meter-high column of water.

"[Rap-loving Octopus]? I like this epithet!"

Gyuki said excitedly.

"Wh-what is that thing now!?"

Nami fell on her butt in fright.

Jin thought to herself, 'This woman really had long hair but short sight.'

'Having seen Oars, whose size was comparable to a small half of the Ten-Tails, how can she still be so surprised at seeing Little Eight?'

Jin pulled Nami up with one hand and said proudly:

"Yosh! Then from today onwards, the Uchiha Pirates officially set sail!"

Kurenai pointed at her eyes, which were the same color as Jin's Sharingan, like rubies, and said:

"That name is really random. How about the Red-Eye Pirates?"

Konan: "Jin-nii is a man who will become a god in the future. Why not call it the Kami Pirates!"

Rin: "Everyone, stop arguing. We should be united. How about calling it the 'Harmonious and Loving Family' Pirates..."

Jin: "..."

Better not tell these girls that he originally wanted to call it the [Netori Pirates].

After all, both the ship and the crew were 'acquired' from others.

"I am not your crew member!"

Nami protested.

She was already starting to worry about how Usopp would react when he saw this news.

After all, during normal chats, she often heard Usopp talk about how much he admired his father, Yasopp.

'Wait, didn't his father abandon him and his mother to become a pirate when he was six?'

'Shouldn't Usopp hate his father's guts?'

'How could he still admire him?'

Nami couldn't quite understand this crewmate's train of thought.

Well, Jin thought that someone who forgave their mother's killer wasn't much better themselves.

Hancock remained silent, just thinking to herself about what to do next.
