Chapter 169 Navy Pirate CP
"Are you... pirates?" Gin couldn't believe it. The angel in his mind was actually one of the despised pirates.
"Look over there..." Eric pointed to the flag at the highest point of the ship, where a beautifully designed pirate flag was fluttering in the wind.
"It really is... a pirate flag..." Gin couldn't believe his eyes and wiped them several times.
Eric impatiently said, "Do you have so much eye gunk? How much are you wiping?"
"..."
"Hahaha..." Perona's spirit body laughed and rolled in the air.
"Hey, I can see the underwear, it's a little bear..."
"You perverted weirdo, Negative Ghost!"
Eric lay on the ship's railing and said weakly, "I'm a perverted creep, sorry..."
Gin sat dumbfounded on the deck, watching the two fools fooling around.
Eric snapped out of his stupor and turned to ask him, "Do you have anywhere else to go?"
"Anywhere to go?" Gin repeated the question.
'Back to that pirate crew that abandoned me?' Even though he wanted to go back, his reason told him not to, so he lowered his head and shook it slightly.
"Anyway, you're homeless. How about becoming my subordinate?" Eric bent down and extended his right hand toward Gin .
"Entrust your life to me, and I'll help you make history. We will shake this world to its core!"
Porche mumbled quietly, "Ugh~ Killing the Celestial Dragons isn't considered a big deal?!"
Eric's bold words shook Gin 's heart, and without thinking, he reached out and tightly grasped the offered hand.
"Yes, Captain!" Gin believed the feeling in that moment. He knew he hadn't followed the wrong person.
At that moment, Gin 's stomach growled loudly.
"Hahaha, go fill your stomach!"
...
Gin held his bowl and ate heartily, "Delicious, so delicious."
Kurikai, sitting across the table, blew out a puff of smoke, "Eat slowly, no one's gonna snatch it from you."
"However, as the 'old man' on the ship, I should remind you of something."
Seeing that someone was about to impart wisdom, Gin immediately perked up his ears, swallowing the food in his mouth, and listened intently.
"Relax, don't get too nervous, just keep eating." Kurikai blew out another puff of smoke. "As long as you don't get involved in those people's emotions, life here is still relatively easy."
"Those people?" Gin stretched his neck curiously and resumed eating, the spoon clinking against the plate with a crisp sound.
"Just the Captain, and these few beauties," Kurikai took out a few wanted posters from his pocket:
"Queen of Ice" Esdeath, bounty 850 million Berries.
"Pfft!" Gin couldn't hold it in and spit his food out.
In the East Blue, a bounty in the millions was considered a great pirate, but he had never heard of bounties in the hundreds of millions.
"This can't be real, right?!" Gin didn't believe it at first, but who would make fake wanted posters of themselves?
"It's not over yet, there are more."
"Magic Gun" Scáthach , bounty 500 million Berries;
"H-Huh..." Gin seemed to be choking, gasping as if the air was stuck in his throat.
"Double Guns" Kurumi Tokisaki, bounty 350 million Berries (didn't appear in the Goa Kingdom massacre, bounty not increased);
"Hunter" Akame, bounty 280 million Berries;
Seeing the bounty decrease, Gin 's tense muscles began to relax, and he took deep breaths, recovering after a moment of panic.
"You... What exactly did you guys do?"
Such high bounties were unheard of in the East Blue.
"Ha~" A beautiful smoke ring was exhaled.
"Nothing much, just tortured a Celestial Dragon, fought to a draw with a Marine Admiral, stormed the Goa Kingdom's palace, slaughtered the royal family, and killed most of the nobles."
"Cough cough!" Gin choked on his saliva, as if he had suddenly developed Parkinson's disease, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.
"Hey, hey, are you okay?" Kurikai worriedly supported Gin .
"Whoo, whoo..." Within those few minutes, Gin , who was severely oxygen-deprived, felt that his previous intuition had deceived him.
"Anyway, these four are fighting over the Captain's affection. As long as you don't get tangled in their emotional mess, life here is much easier and more enjoyable."
With a deep purple circle under his eyes, Gin knelt down and said, "Thank you for the advice, Uncle!"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Kurikai bit the cigarette and said displeased, "Aren't you a little too old to be calling me 'Uncle'?"
"I'm only 18..."
Kurikai: "..."
"Honestly, you look a little rushed."
"Sorry, everyone says that..."
...
[Monthly Task 10: Navy Pirate CP]
[Pre-requisite: Throughout history, the red-blue CPs have been many, and the Navy and pirates are no exception! For example, Monkey D. Garp relentlessly pursued Gol D. Roger, and Vice Admiral Tsuru repeatedly chased Donquixote Doflamingo. Now, you also have a loyal Navy pursuer!]
'What the hell is this?' Eric, who was lying in bed staying up late reading a novel, looked at the system task in confusion.
[On Sabaody Archipelago, you caused Hina to wet herself, and she has harbored a deep hatred for you ever since…]
'What? I made Hina wet herself?!' Eric was startled awake by the system's words.
[Your image has been deeply imprinted in Hina's heart. She thinks of you countless times every day.]
"..." Cold sweat poured from Eric's forehead.
'She must be dying to slice me into a thousand pieces...'
[Now, she has boarded Garp 's ship and is heading to the capital of Goa Kingdom. Right now is the perfect time for the Navy and pirates to form a CP!]
'Screw this!' Eric couldn't help but curse inwardly.
[Details: Vice Admiral Garp and Miss Hina will stay in Goa Kingdom for a month. Before the end of the month, you must encounter them and fight. Let your brave battle stance once again be imprinted in Hina's heart, making her think of only you!]
"…"
[Task Reward: Victory in battle will earn you the title "Hina's Stalker (She will travel any distance, doing whatever it takes to find you once she hears news of you)" / 10 Bond Points]
[Failure in battle will earn you the title "Impel Down Prisoner," with a reward of a room in the Ten-Man Hell.]
'Her chasing me across the world is terrifying!' Eric shuddered. He didn't want to take this task, especially since the consequences of failure were pretty bad...
'But the bond points the system gives are so tempting…'
Eric tapped his chin and thought, 'It's not like Vice Admiral Garp or the three Marine Admirals are constantly chasing me. Speaking of...'
'Having a famous Navy beauty chasing me around... this feeling...'
"...Really not bad."
