Everyone in Shells Town"Hey! —come out quickly! Come and see! The Marine Lieutenant Colonel, Ax-Hand Morgan, has really been taken down!"
"What?! Ax-Hand Morgan was such a terrifying existence—he actually got killed? Who did it? Was it those pirates who just arrived?"
"These pirates are way too strong!"
"Finally… finally pirates have come to stand up for us!"
"That's right! They're the saviors of Shells Town! Let's go welcome them—give them the highest honor!"
"At last, we can live in peace!"
"Down with the Marines!"
"Long live the pirates!"
…
At that very moment, just after Tsuneo's group had finished off Ax-Hand Morgan, the entire population of Shells Town came rushing over as if carried by the wind.
They lined the streets to welcome them.
They sang enthusiastically.
Thunderous applause echoed throughout the town!
Holy crap!
What was going on?!
The villagers were treating them like great benefactors?!
They were supposed to be the most dangerous rookie pirates, weren't they?!
One could only imagine just how tyrannical and brutal Ax-Hand Morgan had been on this island for the villagers to adore pirates this much.
Especially Tsuneo's crew
A group of supervillains from the ninja world.
Since when had the Akatsuki ever been this popular?!
Captain…
You really do have the ability to turn decay into miracles.
At this moment, Tsuneo turned around and glanced at the group behind him. Every single one of them wore expressions of complete conviction.
Yes—exactly what you're thinking.
This is the captain's unique charm.
"Honored pirate gentlemen," a villager said respectfully,
"Our town has suffered under Ax-Hand Morgan's oppression for a long time. We don't have anything valuable to offer you…"
"But"
"Our town is rich in food and fine wine. If you don't mind, please come back with us and eat to your heart's content, drink to your heart's content!"
Before Tsuneo and the others could even respond, the villagers surged forward and warmly ushered them straight toward the tavern.
This enthusiasm was truly impossible to refuse!
Originally, Tsuneo's group hadn't come to Shells Town to loot or pillage. They had only planned to disembark for some rest during their voyage.
And without question
A tavern was a must-visit destination.
"Hahaha! Since the villagers are being so hospitable, then tonight we'll enjoy ourselves to the fullest! Men—let's drink till we're satisfied!"
"Drink till we're satisfied!"
"No one goes home sober!"
"Long live the captain!"
In an instant, with Tsuneo raising his arm and shouting, the group behind him looked more and more like genuine pirates, following him excitedly without hesitation.
A pirate's life
Without a tavern
Is incomplete.
Inside the Shells Town tavern, Tsuneo and his crew received treatment they had never experienced before.
The villagers were simply too enthusiastic.
Toast after toast.
Every delicacy in the entire town
Was brought straight to their table.
They were free to indulge however they pleased.
In such a wonderful atmosphere, Tsuneo and his crew couldn't help but start questioning
Were they really pirates?
Being a pirate like this…
Was honestly a blessing in life.
Captain…
This is all thanks to your charisma.
Just as expected
Tsuneo knew this would happen.
…
Early the next morning, when warm sunlight streamed into the tavern, Tsuneo and his crew finally lifted their heads in unison.
Before they knew it
They had been drinking all night.
"Captain, shouldn't we be leaving soon? If we keep drinking like this, I'm worried Shells Town might go bankrupt."
"Indeed. A new day has arrived—it's time for us to depart."
"As a pirate, I'm starting to really like this feeling."
"That's right! The seas of this world are vast. We've only just begun—we want to see an even greater ocean."
"Hahaha! Since that's how everyone feels, then what are we waiting for? Let's continue sailing across the seas!"
In an instant, Tsuneo—acting as captain—leapt up without hesitation, leading his crew once more.
They bid farewell to the people of Shells Town.
And returned to their small boat.
"Set sail!"
Wait!
Suddenly, at that exact moment of departure, Tsuneo remembered something.
A new day had arrived.
Which meant
He could sign in again?!
Haha!
During the first sign-in, he had obtained the god-tier ability Words Become Law, an absolutely broken power—though it only worked on his own crew.
During the second sign-in at Windmill Village, he had acquired Supreme Conqueror's Haki.
At first, he thought this meant he would finally dominate
Only to discover it required constant development.
Still, no matter what, with Conqueror's Haki, even if it hadn't brought immediate practical changes…
His presence alone had leveled up.
And now
It was finally time for the third sign-in.
Given that his god-tier sign-in system guaranteed a god-tier reward every single time
Tsuneo had every reason to believe
This time, he was definitely going to rise properly!
"System! A new day has arrived—hurry up! Start it! My third god-tier sign-in!"
"I'm already getting impatient!"
