"Hmph!"
Qingyun looked disdainful. He didn't dodge or evade, standing calmly in place, and unhurriedly used Armament Haki on his forehead.
Clang!
The Fish-man Captain struck Qingyun's head, but it wouldn't cut in, instead producing a violent metallic clash.
Crack!
Immediately after, the samurai sword snapped directly and fell to the ground.
Everyone:
o(ﾟДﾟ)っ!
Qingyun grinned:
"As expected of Armament Haki!"
"Now, let me try Conqueror's Haki?"
Buzz!
His eyes widened, and his black pupils instantly emitted a terrifying dark red light. Invisible Conqueror's Haki, carrying an immensely powerful pressure, rapidly bore down on the four Fishmen.
The four Fishmen couldn't withstand Qingyun's Conqueror's Haki; their eyes rolled back, and one after another, they collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Although Nojiko and the villagers were not directly oppressed by Qingyun's Conqueror's Haki, only feeling its aftershocks, they were all scared into a cold sweat, trembling all over, unable to move an inch, staring at Qingyun in terror.
"As expected of Conqueror's Haki!"
"It's truly extraordinary!"
Qingyun was overjoyed.
He ducked to avoid the broken samurai sword in the Fish-man Captain's hand, then, with a swift movement, he unhesitatingly cut down all four Fishmen, gaining their positive and beneficial abilities.
Killing for the first time, even though they were Fishmen, left Qingyun with mixed feelings.
However, he didn't feel the slightest guilt.
Because he knew these Fishmen had directly tried to kill him without knowing who he was.
How could he feel a psychological burden killing such people?
[Host has killed four ordinary Fishman pirates, physical fitness +5...]
"Awesome!"
Qingyun felt that his physical fitness and other attributes had indeed become stronger, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
However, Nojiko and the villagers, seeing Qingyun's decisive and ruthless act of completely slaughtering all four unconscious Fishmen, were startled again and became even more paralyzed.
Some even slumped powerlessly to the ground.
All stared at Qingyun in terror.
They were somewhat afraid that Qingyun would kill them too.
"What is Neptune?"
Qingyun then curiously checked the other reward.
[Neptune]: A large, high-tech solar-powered spaceship, fully equipped with defense, attack, living, and entertainment facilities, and can be directly controlled by the host's mind for navigation and flight.
"Holy crap!"
"That's so awesome!"
Qingyun was ecstatic.
He immediately extracted the innate divine ability 'Love Irrigation' and the 'Neptune' spaceship.
The next moment, he directly awakened the innate divine ability 'Love Irrigation' and became the master of 'Neptune', able to summon Neptune from the system space at any time and then return it to the system space.
Qingyun smiled wickedly:
"It's just as I thought!"
"This Love Irrigation isn't quite proper!"
"So Neptune doesn't refer to the Pirate King!"
"I like it."
"Hehehe."
Qingyun was overjoyed.
He was somewhat eager to find a beautiful woman in the Pirate world to test the function of this innate divine ability.
He wasn't in a hurry to check 'Neptune'.
Because he knew the top priority was to first figure out the current time point.
He turned around and asked in Japanese, which had distinct Oriental characteristics:
"What year, month, and day of the Sea Calendar is it today?"
Beauty!
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Nojiko clearly, Qingyun's eyes lit up.
Nojiko was wearing a tank top and long pants, with flip-flops on her bare feet, her figure curvaceous, graceful, and full.
She had blue tattoos on her right arm and upper chest, which she got to comfort Nami after Arlong Pirates tattooed her.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful; even without makeup or filters, she was more charming than those with ten levels of beauty filters.
Paired with short blue hair tied back with a red hairband, she looked extremely capable.
She looks so familiar?
Qingyun thought carefully.
She seems to be Nami's older sister, Nojiko?
Soon, based on Nojiko's features and the Fishmen's threats to Nojiko and the villagers after trying to kill him, he figured out Nojiko's identity.
"To... Today is April 5th, 1520 of the Sea Calendar."
At this moment, Nojiko, overcoming her fear and shyness, her pretty face flushed, looked into Qingyun's eyes and murmured her reply.
"Oh."
Qingyun nodded.
Which means Luffy still has a month before he sets sail!
Qingyun remembered that Luffy's birthday was May 5th, and Luffy set sail when he was seventeen.
After confirming the current time point, Qingyun began to consider how to act.
"Big brother, can you help me get rid of the Arlong Pirates and rescue my sister, Nami?"
"As long as you can help me rescue Nami, I'm willing to pay whatever amount of money you want."
Seeing that Qingyun didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her and the villagers, Nojiko mustered her courage to plead with Qingyun.
"And us."
"We're also willing to give you money."
The villagers all followed suit, pleading with Qingyun.
They didn't know who Qingyun was, nor did they know why he could come back from the dead, but they knew Qingyun was as powerful as a monster, beyond their imagination.
Perhaps Qingyun could help them rescue Nami.
Qingyun smiled slightly, staring at Nojiko like a wolf:
"I don't want money."
"I need people."
"I can help you get rid of the Arlong Pirates and rescue Nami."
"But in the future, you'll have to join my ship, and you'll have to listen to everything I say."
Qingyun knew that with his system's function, the best way to get stronger was to provoke the strongest people in the Pirate world and let them kill him.
However, the Four Emperors, Admirals, and other strongest people were very far away from him.
And even if he provoked them, it was unlikely they would directly come out to deal with him.
Besides, Nami was still waiting for him to rescue her from the Arlong Pirates.
So he planned to start by getting rid of the Arlong Pirates and recruiting Nojiko and Nami.
Hearing this, and seeing Qingyun's extremely aggressive gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
However, when she thought of Nami still suffering with the Arlong Pirates, she bit her lip and nodded firmly:
"Okay, I promise you."
"As long as you help me rescue Nami, I'll join your ship and listen to everything you say."
The villagers knew that Nami was Nojiko's top concern, so they didn't try to stop her.
"No time to lose, let's go quickly."
Nojiko immediately dragged her not-yet-fully-recovered body, stumbling towards the Arlong Pirates.
The villagers all followed closely behind Nojiko.
"Wait a moment."
However, Qingyun stopped Nojiko again, saying somewhat awkwardly:
"First, find me some clothes to wear."
"It was too sudden just now, I didn't have time to get dressed."
Nojiko and the villagers were stunned.
They had thought Qingyun just didn't like wearing clothes.
Everyone dared not refuse, nor did they have any reason to refuse, so they immediately found many clothes for Qingyun to choose from.
Qingyun looked them over and chose a red T-shirt, black shorts, and a pair of flip-flops to wear.
Even so, he was still very handsome.
Not only because he was inherently handsome, but also because he was now incredibly confident and fearless.
"Alright, let's set off quickly."
Nojiko once again led the way towards the Arlong Pirates.
"Wait a moment."
Qingyun stopped Nojiko again:
"Walking is too slow, let's fly there."
Snap!
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyun snapped his fingers, and the enormous and luxurious 'Neptune' abruptly appeared out of thin air, hovering above the ground.
Looking at Neptune, which stretched as far as the eye could see, Nojiko and the villagers were instantly dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.
