The Pirate Crews, including the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, saw from a distance but were not afraid. Instead, their eyes were filled with greed.
On the Dominant Feather Pirate ship.
Xia Ling quickly grasped the situation.
"Indeed, many have formed alliances to plunder the treasure."
"This has deterred many weaker Pirate Crews from exchanging their experience."
"Captain, they clearly want to form an alliance with us."
...
As the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew approached, the Transvestite Pirates and other Pirate Crews drew near.
Yi Ren introduced himself: "I am the Captain of the Transvestite Pirates, and I have eaten the Hormone Fruit."
Ye Yu took a few extra glances at Yi Ren, mainly because his fruit ability also had healing properties, and starting from level thirty, this person's strength would be quite formidable.
When the overall strength and reputation of the Pirate Crews grew stronger, and more people wanted to join, Ye Yu naturally thought of establishing the Dominant Feather Grand Fleet, recruiting more Pirate Crews that he deemed worthy.
And the Transvestite Pirates currently had a good reputation.
Ye Yu asked, "What's the matter?"
Yi Ren proposed: "The seven powerful Pirate Crews have formed an alliance, so their combined strength won't be much weaker than the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirates. Therefore, it's best not to go alone. Even if you can protect the treasure, the casualties will be significant. So, join forces with us Pirate Crews and go together to deposit the treasure. That way, they might not dare to attack."
Immediately, the other smaller Pirate Crews agreed.
"Yes, let's join forces and go together."
Ye Yu shook his head: "No need to join forces. If they dare to attack, they will regret it."
This left the Transvestite Pirates and other Pirate Crews stunned, exchanging glances, not having anticipated this.
"The Dominant Feather Pirate Crew plans to go directly."
"They're not afraid of the alliance?"
"Seven Pirate Crews together are quite formidable."
"If we don't join forces, what should we do? We can only flee."
"Fleeing is an option, but we must flee together because if we scatter, they will surely chase us."
"But if we flee together, the seven Pirate Crews will also chase us. So, scattering is better. We have the numbers; it's just a matter of who gets unlucky."
...
For a moment, they were in a dilemma because no matter how they fled, the outcome would be unfavorable. The Dominant Feather Pirate Crew chose not to join forces, and they couldn't force them.
At this moment, Xia Ling and Zhang Tian were puzzled. Clearly, joining forces would be better, but they remained silent, listening to Ye Yu.
Ye Yu then proposed: "If each Pirate Crew is willing to offer one-third of their treasure, then my Dominant Feather Pirate Crew will ensure that you can deposit the remaining two-thirds into the Treasure Pool for exchange. How about it? Is anyone willing?"
Immediately, many Pirate Crews understood.
"This is equivalent to helping us but charging a protection fee."
"Yes, what should we do?"
"If we flee and are unlucky, all the treasure will be stolen. Offering one-third means we can keep two-thirds, which is better."
"I'm willing to pay."
"I'm also willing, but can he really succeed as he says?"
...
Ye Yu then looked at the seven Pirate Crews and suddenly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.
The sky and earth instantly turned dark red. At this moment, Ye Yu's aura was stronger, more domineering.
Earlier on the island, they had dealt with many powerful Exotic Beasts, some formidable Ferocious Beasts. Even if he didn't personally take them down, his comrades deliberately weakened them for him to finish off.
The levels of his companions wouldn't fall behind either, as they were the ones harvesting the stunned creatures. For Ye Yu, the experience points weren't much, but for them, it was significant.
So, just now, it wasn't just about acquiring treasure; there was also leveling up. Ye Yu was now at level 17, having inherited more of the combat power, Haki, and other abilities from Roger and others.
Therefore, the Conqueror's Haki he unleashed at full strength now was even more potent than before.
Captains like Gongsun Long and Wang Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
"Trying to reduce our combat strength with Conqueror's Haki first?"
"It's useless. Even the weaker regular crew members weren't brought along. His Conqueror's Haki can't affect any of our crew..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, the next moment, their words were abruptly cut off, and their smiles froze. The sound of bodies hitting the deck echoed continuously.
All seven pirate crews were in the same situation. The captains standing at the bow turned their heads sharply to see regular crew members fainting, their eyes rolling back. Soon, more than fifty crew members on each pirate ship had collapsed.
This was a significant number for them, as they had brought only their elite members. Each ship had only about three hundred crew members, meaning one-sixth of them had fainted.
They were stunned. Some regular crew members didn't faint but still felt the oppressive pressure, breaking out in cold sweat.
"His Conqueror's Haki has grown stronger."
"From a distance, he looks even more domineering and manly."
"Originally, we thought none would faint, but what now? With so many incapacitated, even if we can win the fight and secure the treasure, the losses will be heavy."
"Even if we join forces, with our strength depleted, it's uncertain whether we can win."
...
While they hesitated, Ye Yu leaped into the air, drawing Black Blade Night, and a verdant slash erupted.
Their expressions changed as they quickly counterattacked, but naturally, it was the captains who retaliated, as it was just Ye Yu's single attack.
Gongsun Long snorted, "Let me, the user of the Munch-Munch Fruit, test his slash."
Wang Xiao reminded, "Let's deal with this together. We can't afford to be caught off guard. After all, even Jin Mo and Song Ling working together were humiliated. So, don't feel ashamed. Three of us seven captains should join forces to counterattack."
"I'll join too."
The captain with the Cat-Cat Fruit, Lion Form, transformed instantly. His body grew golden fur, his head turned into that of a lion, and he became a towering, muscular lion-man.
Another captain asked, "Should we add one more?"
Gongsun Long replied, "No need. Three is enough. Any more, and even if we have the advantage, it would be embarrassing. Besides, don't underestimate me, Gongsun Long. I've eaten the Munch-Munch Fruit, which many consider an extremely powerful Devil Fruit. My ability allows me to devour anything and either integrate it into myself or combine it into something new. As I level up and develop my fruit further, I might even be able to devour Ability Users and gain their abilities. It's hard to imagine how strong I'll become once my Munch-Munch Fruit awakens. The potential for devouring any attack is terrifying. So, having three captains take action is already the limit of what I can tolerate."
Gongsun Long was extremely arrogant, and many believed he had every right to be. The Munch-Munch Fruit sounded incredibly formidable.
At this moment, Ye Yu also realized that the opponent had a Munch-Munch Fruit Ability User, and he felt that this Devil Fruit was extraordinary. However, in "One Piece," Wapol was too weak, just like Foxy, wasting the potential of such a powerful Devil Fruit.
But even so, Ye Yu was determined to give them a warning.
Wang Xiao was the first to activate his Devil Fruit ability, brimming with confidence.
"Although I am alone, in reality, I am an entire army."
