"Target spotted."
At Sabaody Archipelago, a scout held a telescope and a camera, aiming at the coated ship leaving the island.
Through the telescope, he saw Kevin standing at the bow of the ship.
He quickly took a picture with his camera.
"The coated ship has already submerged into the sea. The target is definitely heading for the New World."
The message was immediately relayed to Marine Headquarters.
Sengoku, who received the message, said, "He has already entered the sea. The next stop is Fish-Man Island, and then the New World."
"Since we know his direction, I will immediately lead men to Fish-Man Island to arrest him." Sakazuki volunteered.
After speaking, he stood up, ready to leave.
"Sakazuki, calm down." Sengoku stopped him, "It's too late to arrest him at Fish-Man Island. Coating takes time, and going to Fish-Man Island is too dangerous. Plus, Fish-Man Island is an allied nation, and we cannot affect the relationship between the Fish-Men and the World Government."
"Sakazuki, you take your troops and intercept him in the New World. Surround the sea area where he is most likely to appear after leaving Fish-Man Island."
"Yes!"
Sakazuki departed with his troops.
"As long as the target is found, Sakazuki cannot fail." Sengoku had a hundred percent trust in Sakazuki; he might be extreme in his methods, but he always completed his missions perfectly.
Garp glanced at Sengoku, "You're really ruthless, not giving him any chance."
If it were Kizaru or Aokiji, Garp would still believe Kevin had a slim chance of survival, but it was Sakazuki.
"Shut up, Garp. You have too much sympathy for criminals." Sengoku reprimanded Garp, then looked at Chief of Staff Tsuru, "Still can't reach Vice Admiral Gyon?"
Chief of Staff Tsuru's face was troubled, and she shook her head.
No one was answering.
...
...
After sailing underwater for over ten miles, beyond the visible range of Sabaody Archipelago, the Pirate Crew returned to the surface, heading in the opposite direction of the New World.
On the Pirate Crew,
Captain: Kevin.
Vice-Captain: Momousagi Gion.
Administrator: Hancock.
Helmsman and Errands: Boa Sandersonia and her sisters.
External Intelligence Officer: Shaki.
Boa Sandersonia, who was at the helm, asked, "Captain, where are we going?"
"First, we're going to Water 7 to build our very own Pirate Crew ship."
Gyon immediately took out the Eternal Pose pointing to Water 7.
Gyon had Eternal Poses for all well-known islands in the sea, which she brought from Marine Headquarters before leaving. With Eternal Poses, there was no need to slowly record Poses island by island.
The Marines couldn't predict their route in advance.
The Pirate Crew ship sailed on the boundless ocean.
"Kevin, there's something I need to discuss with you." Gyon came up behind Kevin, resting her chin on his shoulder. She leaned slightly, and her faint fragrant breath tickled Kevin's earlobe.
"What is it?"
Gyon first motioned for Hancock and the others to come over as well.
Hancock looked on with a touch of envy at Gyon and Kevin's intimate display.
"Kevin, you once told me you wanted to create a Pirate Crew of a hundred people. Could they all… be women?"
A hundred-person Pirate Crew.
Because the system granted a maximum of a hundred members, any additional members would yield no benefits.
"Why?" Kevin suppressed a smile.
He was thinking.
How to get Hancock and Gyon to accept that all future members would be female.
Apart from the Amazon Lily, there were no such forces in the sea.
Kevin estimated that if he proposed it himself, he would be seen as a pervert.
"Those stinky men don't deserve to be on our ship." After saying that, Hancock looked at Kevin in a panic: "I wasn't talking about you, Kevin. You're different. You're my most…"
Her voice grew softer and softer, like a mosquito's buzz, audible only to herself.
"I'm also not used to dealing with men other than you, Kevin." Gyon looked at Kevin expectantly.
At Marine Headquarters.
The unit she commanded was also entirely female soldiers.
Hancock and her two sisters belonged to Amazon Lily, where there were no men.
"Is that so…?" Kevin feigned a troubled expression, but inwardly, he was almost bursting with laughter.
"Indeed, we might be a bit much. Kevin, won't you just agree, please? The worst that can happen is big sister will let you…" Gyon whispered softly into Kevin's ear, and he felt a warm touch on his earlobe.
Kevin's heart began to pound.
She would actually agree to that?
Gyon had never agreed to such things before.
He just didn't know if Hancock had bought those outfits. Never mind, at least Gyon kept one set of military uniform, hmm…
"Kevin, please say yes! This Concubine can do anything~~~" Hancock tugged on Kevin's right arm, gently swaying it, with Gyon on his left and her on his right.
It was going to kill him!
"Alright, for your sakes, I've decided that from now on, I'll only recruit female members." Kevin gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"That's wonderful." Gyon kissed Kevin's cheek.
Hancock, beside them, was dumbfounded.
She was itching to do the same.
...
...
Wiping off the lipstick from his cheek.
Kevin glanced at the system.
[Total Combat Power: 200952]
"Oh? Combat power increased by over a thousand. This thousand-plus combat power came from Hancock."
Kevin looked at Hancock, who was squatting and organizing supplies. As expected of the Pirate Empress, her strength had increased significantly after a battle with the Marines.
[Achievement Points: 51236]
Increased by over ten thousand.
"The Holy Land incident escalated, coupled with the Sabaody Archipelago incident." Kevin was full of motivation.
Fifty thousand achievement points, more than halfway there.
Over time, the Holy Land incident would continue to bring in achievement points.
"Once Gyon, Hancock, and the others get bounties, the achievement points will surge even more. Once it breaks one hundred thousand, the Pirate Crew ship will have invincibility time, and then we won't have to be too wary of the Marines."
