It seemed that instead of desperately hunting pirate captains, it would be better to kill some ordinary people.
Although these ordinary people were not strong, they were all worth 1 or 2 points. Little by little, it would be a considerable fortune if he killed enough of them.
But that wasn't the case. If you calculated it carefully, the profit from the pirate captain was no worse than that of ordinary people. Because they had bounties.
You know, just the bounties of these two people were seven million. If you exchanged them for points, it would be seventy points - which was a considerable income for Yuu now.
Besides these, Yuu absorbed their death energy. The minions' strength was not strong, they could only be regarded as ingredients. But the two powerful pirates were the real main course - the bearded captain used a knife and had some understanding of knives.
There was also a ghost-head knife that looked good quality hanging in the captain's room. The bespectacled man was not a combat type. Actually, the bespectacled man was just a navigator.
Although he had some ability, he could only be said to be evenly matched with Yuu. After absorbing the bespectacled man's death energy, Yuu had a better understanding and experience of navigation. He could already operate this medium-sized pirate ship.
Opening his eyes, "Go!" Yuu shouted loudly. A thin, strip-like purple gas appeared on his body. The purple gas slowly extended, increasing little by little. Until it reached the side of a corpse, it entered the corpse's body through its mouth.
Suddenly, the whites of the corpse's eyes turned down a little. The corpse's bloodless right hand moved. Then it struggled to climb up, slowly and without any coordination. It took a lot of effort to just stand up.
Dragging its heavy steps, it came to Yuu's side. It opened its mouth and closed it again: "M-Master!"
"Well, go steer the ship!" Yuu nodded with satisfaction. It was his first time using purple gas to create a puppet, so it was inevitably a little inflexible. This was also expected. This pirate was a helmsman when he was alive. Letting him steer the ship shouldn't be a problem.
"Yes!" The puppet slightly lowered his stiff neck and left Yuu. Yuu also relaxed, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the changes in his body.
After what happened last night, Yuu didn't know why, but his whole temperament had changed a lot. Perhaps yesterday he still seemed a little immature, but today, that immaturity had disappeared. He looked much more heroic and exuded a faint killing intent.
Yesterday, he killed so many people. The biggest gain was that he learned to use a sword! Although Yuu had learned basic swordsmanship before, Yuu clearly felt that the basic swordsmanship was just a game.
It wasn't swordsmanship at all. Only after experiencing the hardships of life and death could it be considered real swordsmanship, which could make him stronger.
The pirate ship was already moving. Yuu looked at the busy puppet and smiled slightly. Although this puppet was a little stiff and could only be controlled for ten hours, it was already an improvement.
Yesterday, he didn't use the power of the fruit, but the death energy of the dead pirates surrounded him on its own. This made him much better at using the Devil Fruit and had already learned to create puppets.
Now his strength should be the ability of a five million bounty. Yesterday's leap directly multiplied his strength several times.
He still needed to increase his capital, Yuu thought to himself. So he entered the system interface and opened the [Skills] bar. Although some skills were not activated, there were still some basic skills, such as [Gale Step], which required 300 skill points.
After learning it, he could quickly increase his speed and make himself as light as a swallow. Now Yuu's swordsmanship was considered a small success, but his speed was pitifully slow.
The Marine Rear Admiral's speed was improved using the Six Styles, and the pirate beard used a knife, so he wouldn't care about speed. So Yuu thought he should increase his speed.
After making a decision, Yuu didn't hesitate. He bet all three hundred points, his only wealth.
"Learn?"
"Yes!"
"Congratulations to the host for learning Gale Step!"
With the system's voice, Yuu could clearly feel that it was as if he had removed a thousand pounds of weight from his body. It seemed that he had no weight. He looked at the main mast in the distance, and with a thought, he moved like the wind, without a sound.
He had already come to the side of the main mast, a distance of ten meters in one breath. It seemed that this Gale Step was indeed extraordinary. His current ability should be able to reach a six million bounty.
Now he was sailing a pirate ship. This pirate group seemed to have a little reputation in this area. Ordinary small pirates usually avoided it from a distance when they encountered it, and some even lowered their flags to show respect.
But there were also some who didn't know what was good for them. Relying on their high bounty, they planned to rob them. When they got closer and saw that there was only Yuu on the ship, they thought they were lucky.
This pirate's bounty was only five million. He probably didn't recognize this pirate. Otherwise, how could two pirates with a five million bounty fight? Now that he was here, it was even better.
Yuu now needed a lot of blood to sharpen his abilities. Last time he only fought with those minions. Now Yuu wanted to personally compete with this pirate captain. He needed someone who was evenly matched with him.
"Drink!" Yuu slashed fiercely, but the captain blocked Yuu's attack. The pirates next to him kept cheering for their captain.
Yuu's puppet had already been put away by Yuu. From the moment he saw the pirate ship coming, Yuu put the puppet away. Yuu didn't want to expose his strength.
"Hee hee~!" Although the pirate captain looked much weaker, his strength was not bad at all. His eyes stared at Yuu, making Yuu feel cold.
"Little ghost, seeing that your swordsmanship is also good, and you are so fair and tender, why not become my male pet?"
The weak captain used his two swords to block Yuu's attack. Staring at Yuu's snow-white neck, he actually said teasing words.
"Ugh~" Yuu suddenly felt a chill and became angry: "Damn it! I'm a real man!"
"Haha~ Look, that pretty boy actually said he's a real man!"
"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you! Just obediently follow our captain!"
The pirates next to him kept shouting, like barking dogs. These minions knew that their abilities were not good, so they didn't help the captain, but just kept diverting Yuu's attention.
"Oh? A real man? It doesn't matter, I can be the bottom." The pirate captain stuck out his disgusting tongue and said this.
"Drink!" Yuu couldn't bear it anymore and simply concentrated all his energy on the competition.
"Hmph!" Seeing that Yuu didn't reply, the disgusting captain didn't entangle. Actually, this captain only valued Yuu's swordsmanship.
Although his bounty was five million, he didn't have a cadre on his ship, so he said this to Yuu. The pirate captain felt that he had made enough concessions. He was even willing to be the bottom, but this pretty boy didn't appreciate it.
With a series of crisp weapon handover sounds, Yuu couldn't break through the disgusting captain's dual-sword style.
Fortunately, his speed was faster than the captain, so he could easily dodge the captain's attacks. Otherwise, he would have been defeated by this disgusting captain long ago.
He couldn't continue like this! He already knew his strength clearly, which was enough.
"Ya!" Yuu jumped back and threw his weapon out!
"Hmph! Trivial trick!" The disgusting captain snorted and raised his two swords to block.
"Ugh!" Before the samurai sword fell, the corners of the disgusting captain's mouth showed a trace of blood. In the blink of an eye, he stared at Yuu, who was already next to him. He looked at the dark and ferocious ghost-head knife on his waist.
"You?" The disgusting captain wanted to ask, where did you get your ghost-head knife? But before he could finish asking, he choked forever.
A unwilling purple-black death energy poured out from the top of his head and was absorbed by Yuu without hesitation.
[Reward points: 50!]
When Yuu's samurai sword fell crisply to the ground, the pirates woke up.
"Run away!"
"The captain has been killed!"
The minions squeezed and crowded. Now Yuu was no longer the pretty boy in their mouths, but the great demon who killed their captain!
"Since you're here, stay." Yuu looked at the pirates who were crowding and running away and said lightly.
With the ability of Gale Step, who could escape?
In addition, after absorbing this person's death energy, Yuu thought that his strength should have reached the level of a seven million bounty pirate.
But the death energy of those pirates and the death energy of the Navy were moving back and forth in his body, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.
Yuu understood that it was because he hadn't patiently digested them. Any Devil Fruit became stronger with more training.
But Yuu didn't train much at the beginning and directly absorbed the Navy's death energy, plus these pirates'. These death energies were like turbulence in his body.
So Yuu spent the remaining days patiently training the death energy in his body, hoping to completely transform them into his own power.
Now it was only the early stages of One Piece, and there weren't many pirates, especially in the Grand Line. Soon, he could see the faint harbor in the distance.
So Yuu stopped training, lowered the pirate flag on the top of the ship, and prepared to go ashore.
