"Am I already that famous?"
Qingyun smiled.
"I… I'm willing to join your crew. Please don't hurt Luffyand Dadan."
"Take me with you right now."
Makino didn't resist; instead, she immediately pleaded with Qingyun to take her away.
Because Luffy was currently building a ship and preparing to set sail, he would come to her for help soon.
If Luffy encountered Qingyun and learned that Qingyun had threatened her, it would be a big problem.
Although Luffy wasn't weak, he definitely couldn't defeat Qingyun.
"A wise choice."
Qingyun smiled, satisfied.
"No!"
"Makino, you can't get on his ship; he clearly has ill intentions towards you!"
"If you get on his ship, he'll definitely take advantage of you!"
The villagers all spoke up, trying to persuade Makino.
"Noisy."
Buzz!
Qingyun turned and glared, his dark eyes instantly flashing red light, and an invisible Conqueror's Hakiswept towards the villagers.
The villagers immediately rolled their eyes and collapsed to the ground one after another.
Makino was affected by the aftershocks of the Conqueror's Haki, her back breaking out in a cold sweat from the shock, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"What… what did you do to them?"
Makino stared at Qingyun, asking in a trembling yet furious voice.
"I just made them fall asleep. After all, you wouldn't want to see them die trying to protect you, would you?"
Qingyun looked at Makino and asked indifferently.
Makino listened, took a closer look, and only then realized that the villagers had indeed just fainted, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
"Makino, you're willing to join my crew, right?"
Qingyun stared into Makino's beautiful eyes, then pressed on with his question.
"I am, I am."
Even though she didn't understand why Qingyun was asking again, Makino still answered without hesitation, then quickly urged Qingyun:
"Please take me away quickly."
[Congratulations to the host for recruiting Makino to join the Neptune Crew. Please choose Makino's position.]
Qingyun smiled slightly:
"Very good."
"From this moment on, you are the chef of my Sea King."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyun acquired all of Makino's positive and beneficial abilities, such as her cooking skills.
"Yes, Captain Qingyun."
"Please take me away quickly."
Makino urged Qingyun again.
Qingyun could guess the reason why Makino was so eager for him to take her away. He wasn't in a hurry at all; instead, he slowly began to wander around the bar.
Seeing that Qingyun had no intention of leaving, Makino was extremely anxious.
If Qingyun didn't take her away soon, once Luffyarrived, a conflict would inevitably break out.
The current Luffy, she saw no hope of him defeating Qingyun; he might even be injured or killed by Qingyun.
"Captain Qingyun, I beg you, please take me away quickly."
Makino walked directly in front of Qingyun, looking up at him and pleading bitterly.
The more anxious Makino became, the more Qingyun knew his thoughts were correct.
He suddenly had an idea, looking down at Makino like a wolf, and gently stroked Makino's pretty face:
"Makino, you're not very sincere when you beg like this, are you?"
Immediately, Qingyun walked straight into Makino's room, which he had just discovered, lay down on Makino's bed, and looked at Makino with a smile.
Makino wasn't stupid; how could she not understand Qingyun's meaning?
This scoundrel!
She was very angry and couldn't help but curse Qingyun in her heart.
But she was also very helpless.
After struggling for a while.
Makino bit her pearly teeth, followed him into the room, and closed the door.
He smiled.
Qingyun found it quite enjoyable to be a villain.
No wonder there were so many pirates in this world.
This was the beauty of a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
However, to enjoy this beauty, the prerequisite was to have corresponding strength.
Although he didn't have invincible strength yet, he had invincible abilities.
It was only a matter of time before he had invincible strength.
If he wanted to whitewash himself, it was very simple; he just needed to join the protagonist's group.
Even a beast like Caesar could be forgiven, let alone Qingyun.
However, Qingyun had no intention of relying on Luffy to whitewash himself.
The winner is king, the loser is a bandit.
History is written by the victors.
He wanted to become the King of the World, to make the entire Pirate World his territory, and no one would dare to disobey him.
This was just the beginning.
Why do I feel my physical fitness has become stronger?!
Makino felt very confused.
Is it because of the marksmanship Captain Qingyun taught me?!
She looked at Qingyun in disbelief.
After all, before Makino's physical fitness improved, she had only learned marksmanship from Qingyun.
What she didn't realize was that she was gradually developing a good impression of Qingyun and was no longer secretly cursing him as a scoundrel.
"Quickly pack the things you need; we're leaving."
Qingyun said with a smile.
"Yes."
Makino immediately packed her things quickly, fearing that if she was late, Qingyun would change his mind.
After Makino finished packing, Qingyun and she walked out of the room, and they immediately ran into the man with the straw hat who had just entered.
Luffy!
Qingyun recognized Luffy at a glance.
Oh no!
Makino suddenly felt a bad premonition.
Luffy looked confused:
"Makino, why is everyone lying on the ground?"
"Who is he?"
"I am Makino's husband, and I'm here to take her to my ship."
"Everyone drank too much, so they're just lying on the ground asleep."
Before Makino could speak, Qingyun spoke first.
Everyone in Windmill Village knows I'm single!
Do you think Luffy is an idiot?
Makino couldn't help but instinctively complain in her heart.
"So that's it!"
Luffy suddenly understood.
Makino was stunned for a moment.After she reacted, she gave a wry smile:
That's right!
He is Luffy!
"Makino, when did you get married?"
"Why didn't you tell us?"
Luffy asked Makino somewhat angrily.
"Uh…"
Makino had never thought Qingyun would say such a thing and hadn't prepared a response. She was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"You can't blame Makino for this; you should blame me."
"If I hadn't secretly gone out to sea to search for treasure to earn money back then, I wouldn't have accidentally drifted to a deserted island, leaving Makino alone in an empty room."
"She must be angry with me, which is why she never mentioned it to anyone and never thought of asking someone to look for me."
Qingyun then spoke first, with tears in his eyes.
Makino was stunned:
You lie without even a draft?
It sounds so real!
"So that's how it is!"
Luffy was deeply moved and reproached Makino:
"Makino, you're a bit much."
"He earned money for you two to live better lives. How could you ignore him?"
"I…"
Makino was speechless and extremely angry.
She was clearly the victim, yet why was she being scolded by Luffy?
"I know I was wrong."
However, Makino still held back, and even admitted her mistake.
Because she knew that if she exposed Qingyun and let Luffy know the truth, Luffy would definitely fight with Qingyun.
