One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 22: East Blue Shakes, System Screening

After seeing the reactions of the two, Lu Yu revealed a satisfied expression.

He hadn't heard of this pirate crew before, but after getting some details from Roelki, he realized they weren't exactly weak.

However, compared to Lu Yu and his team...

Forget it. There's no point comparing them to a group of cheaters.

Still, there was something interesting about them—their influence in the East Blue was surprisingly strong.

The reason they hadn't crossed paths with Luffy and his crew was probably just fate—or the lack of it.

"How many pirates can you summon right now?" Lu Yu asked bluntly.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Earlier, he had wiped out the main fighting force of the Mondost Pirates aboard the three ships. That left their leadership hanging by a thread.

"In a short amount of time, we can gather a crew of over 500," Mondo replied nervously. "But... in terms of quality, we can't be too picky."

He understood clearly: Lu Yu was gauging their worth. If they didn't prove useful, they'd be disposed of without hesitation.

Power ruled the seas—especially in Lu Yu's pirate crew.

"Five hundred, huh? That should do," Lu Yu nodded. "Try to call as many as possible—the more, the better."

He paused for a beat.

"Oh, and by the way, you're not qualified to officially join my Dragon Hunter Pirates. Once this temporary work is done, you're free to go."

With that, Lu Yu leapt onto Tsukuyomi's back and returned to his warship.

"Ara ara... What's the captain planning now? He's always so mysterious," Najenda said with a playful smile.

Now that she was free from the pressures of the empire, her real personality started to shine. Gone was the strict, serious Najenda from the world of Akame ga Kill.

"Brother Lu Yu, you really can do everything," Akame said dumbly, tilting her head.

Akame had always been a bit dense, but with Najenda around, her silly side became even more natural. Their bond ran deep.

"It doesn't seem all that difficult to bring Night Raid back into the world," Najenda said with determination. "And more importantly... I see a real path for growth in this world."

She clenched her fists—and dark Armament Haki coated her skin.

As a member of Lu Yu's crew, Observation Haki came standard. Upon arriving in this world, she had automatically awakened the power.

Najenda understood strength. This black energy was no joke.

By the time Lu Yu and the others left, Mondo and Ster were still frozen in shock.

If not for the strong stench of blood still lingering in the air, they might've thought it had all been a dream.

"Brother, what now?" Ster asked, his voice shaky.

Usually calm and clever, Ster's brain had all but shut down. It was impossible to process everything that had just happened so quickly.

"How would I know!?" Mondo snapped. "Just follow the orders that guy gave us. If we want to live, we don't have a choice."

Mondo was just as confused, but there was no time for it. If they failed to deliver results, Lu Yu wouldn't hesitate to kill them.

That much, he was absolutely sure of.

"I get it," Ster nodded, gritting his teeth. "Let's start reaching out."

"Even if we only made loose arrangements before, they should still come in handy now."

He picked up the Den Den Mushi, and soon, the sound of purururu echoed across the waters of the East Blue.

Back on Lu Yu's ship...

"Brother Lu Yu, are you sure it's okay to let them handle this?" Akame asked, looking puzzled as Lu Yu relaxed on the deck.

To her, the Mondost Pirates were enemies. Trusting them with anything felt... strange.

"They're familiar with the Kingdom of Yacoslan and probably have existing ties," Lu Yu replied. "That makes them more likely to earn their trust."

"This way, our plan will go more smoothly."

"With Najenda, Susanoo, and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto on board, our combat strength has skyrocketed."

Lu Yu was confident.

It might seem like he had only added Najenda, but the actual upgrade in power was far more significant.

With the Mondost Pirates aiding them, their decapitation mission in the Kingdom of Yacoslan would be much easier.

"As expected of our captain!" Roelki chimed in, turning into a one-man cheer squad.

"Only you could come up with something like this—using the enemy's hands as our weapon! Captain, you're amazing!"

Lu Yu chuckled. "Roelki, you've been doing well."

"But I'll need you to keep it up. You're a formal member of the Dragon Hunter Pirates now."

Roelki beamed.

Lu Yu opened his system panel again to double-check something.

But—Roelki's name still didn't show up.

When Kuina had joined, she was instantly listed as a special crew member. Roelki, however, wasn't showing up at all.

Was something off?

After all, having more official crew members increased the system's passive bonuses. That was one of the reasons Lu Yu believed his crew would become a powerhouse in the future.

But now, the requirements seemed a little... unclear.

"System, what are the conditions for joining the Dragon Hunter Pirates?" he asked directly.

The system responded quickly:

["Crew member must have a strength rating above A, or talent above S, to be registered as an official member."]

Lu Yu nodded, finally understanding.

So that's how it works.

This was a god-tier pirate system with its own personality and standards.

Otherwise, Lu Yu could've just recruited 10,000 weaklings and boosted his crew's power through sheer numbers.

As Roelki celebrated, night fell.

Everyone headed off to rest—they needed to prepare for the battles ahead.

---

Meanwhile, across the East Blue...

Countless pirate ships began sailing in the same direction.

Even pirates who rarely ventured out into deeper waters started moving.

The Navy grew anxious.

What were these guys up to?

Were they planning to attack some major figure?

Or had a legendary treasure appeared?

Whatever it was, the scale of the movement was clearly beyond the Navy's ability to handle.

And to make things worse—

They had no clue what was going on.
