One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 31: Phantom Troupe, Chrollo!

Chapter 31: Phantom Troupe, Chrollo!

Kuroro Lucilfer—known as Chrollo in the Hunter World, written by the old thief Togashi—is no ordinary character.

He's the leader of the Phantom Troupe.

---

"Ding! Activating the Second Division."

"Phantom Troupe unlocked!"

"Extracting abilities..."

With a string of system prompts, a new team appeared on Lu Yu's system panel.

A powerful wave of energy surged through his body like a tidal wave.

Nen.

That's right—Chrollo's overwhelming Nen abilities were now fusing with Lu Yu's body.

"Ding! Skill obtained: Snatch!"

"Ding! Additional abilities obtained..."

Along with stat boosts, Lu Yu extracted one of Kuroro's most terrifying skills—Snatch.

[Snatch]: Trigger condition—when touching or killing a target, you may forcibly seize one of their abilities for storage.

[Note: Can store up to 10 abilities. Each can only be used once, but duplicates of the same ability can be stored multiple times.]

Lu Yu grinned as he read the description.

This kind of skill... is basically a golden finger!

"This God-Tier Pirate System is insane!" he muttered to himself.

Then, he looked at the newly arrived Chrollo.

"Chrollo, from this moment on, you're the captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates' Second Division."

"Mario, you're now the official shipwright of the Dragon Hunter Pirates."

Lu Yu closed the system panel and reviewed his new skills. But there was no time to relax.

They were about to face a Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

And unlike the weaker fleets of the East Blue, Vice Admiral-led fleets were on a whole different level.

---

"Captain, are we about to engage an enemy?"

"Is that why you summoned me?"

Chrollo knelt on one knee in front of Lu Yu, his voice calm and composed.

"Also..." he looked up, "can our Second Division have its own name?"

Lu Yu chuckled.

"Chrollo, standing over there is the First Division—Night Raid."

"As for your division, even though you're the only member for now, I grant you the right to name it..."

"You may call it the Phantom Troupe."

A rare smile touched Lu Yu's lips.

Chrollo's attachment to that name ran deep—so deep that the very concept of the Phantom Troupe had long surpassed his own personal identity.

Allowing him to keep the name was the right decision.

"Thank you, Captain."

"Then... may I participate in the upcoming battle?" Chrollo asked, placing a hand to his chest.

"I want to show our crew what I can do."

This wasn't just about volunteering. It was Chrollo's way of showing his loyalty for being allowed to retain the name Phantom Troupe.

Lu Yu nodded.

"Alright."

"But Chrollo, remember—you're one of us now."

"Don't let arrogance cloud your judgment."

"Understood." Chrollo rose to his feet, his aura immediately swelling with overwhelming psychic pressure.

Mario, who stood nearby, instinctively went silent.

Then, without another word, the oddball shipwright pulled out a large water pipe and connected it to the evil warship.

"Captain, I'm going to inspect the hull."

He dove into the pipe and disappeared below.

---

"Huh?"

Najenda stepped forward, visibly surprised.

Just moments ago, her attention had been focused entirely on the warship across from them. But then, a sudden, immense aura drew her gaze to the two men kneeling before Lu Yu.

"Another monster... He's one of us too?"

Lu Yu nodded.

"This is Chrollo, Captain of the Second Division: Phantom Troupe."

"From today, he's one of our own."

The look in Najenda's eyes changed instantly.

Recruiting Chrollo felt like hitting the jackpot.

"Nice to meet you, Chrollo."

"I'm Najenda, Captain of the First Division—Night Raid."

"Looking forward to working with you."

She extended her hand.

Chrollo shook it without hesitation.

"Likewise. We exist for the same goal—serving the captain."

"We'll get along just fine."

---

While Lu Yu was enjoying the new additions to his crew, things weren't quite as cheerful on the opposing side.

Gion—Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters—stood with a stern face.

"Vice Admiral Gion, current intel shows seven individuals aboard the Dragon Hunter Pirates' ship."

"This doesn't match the reports we received, which mentioned only two."

"They appear to be chatting casually. Almost... cheerful."

The marine lookout relayed the report with a shaky voice.

Roelki had been completely disregarded in earlier intel, considered too weak to matter. But even with that accounted for, their numbers had tripled.

Gion's expression darkened.

"Where is Captain Smoker?"

"He's been thrown onto the enemy deck. Still alive... but unconscious and unable to fight."

The lookout's voice dropped even lower.

Everyone knew how strong Smoker was. He'd been called a genius among his peers—his Smoke-Smoke Fruit made him a formidable opponent.

But now, he lay crumpled like a ragdoll on a pirate ship.

A disgrace.

"Everyone—be alert!"

"This Dragon Hunter crew isn't some bunch of rookies!"

"The East Blue... tsk..." Gion muttered.

Despite being the weakest of the four seas, strange monsters always seemed to come out of the East Blue.

Still, she had no choice. She was Vice Admiral. And the pirate in front of her had already humiliated one of her own.

---

"Vice Admiral Gion!" a marine shouted, running over in a panic.

"There's someone... walking toward us from the sea!"

"Walking?"

Gion's eyes widened, and she immediately raised her telescope.

Running across water was possible for strong enough martial artists or Devil Fruit users with the right abilities.

But walking?

There were only a few ways that could be possible. Either he wasn't a Devil Fruit user, or he was doing something like freezing the sea—like Aokiji.

What she saw stunned her.

A tall, black-haired man in a windbreaker was casually walking toward her fleet like he was out for a stroll.

And behind him... the Dragon Hunter ship followed slowly, not even trying to join him.

He's coming alone?

He plans to fight us alone!?

Gion's face twisted in fury.

She wasn't just a Vice Admiral. She was once a star cadet at boot camp—rose from a lowly sergeant to her current position. Her pride was immense.

Not to mention—her sister was the Navy Headquarters' Chief of Staff, Tsuru.

To be so blatantly disrespected by some pirate upstart... it was unacceptable.

"All gunners, prepare to fire!"

"Target the man walking on the sea!"

"Kill him immediately!"

She drew her beloved sword—Konpira—and pointed it directly at the oncoming enemy.

"Let's show this 'Dragon Hunter' what the Navy's made of!"
