Pirate's Dark Fruit

It was late at night, and the pirates who had finished the party had already fallen asleep.

"Uh-huh, Qiu Yu, it's nice to meet you." Xiao Feng was lying on the deck, talking in his sleep.

Qiu Yu brought a quilt and gently covered Xiao Feng.

Then Qiu Yu entered the door space.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing task one, please receive the reward!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the additional reward: [Animal Language Translation Headphones] 10 (Note: Neptune type excluded)"

"I'm going to get extra rewards." Qiu Yu murmured.

He was holding a system-rewarded Navy Six Mastery Book in his hand, which was of little use to him. He stored the book in the door space and prepared to give it to Franky or other new members later.

……

In the morning, the sea was still calm, and land could be vaguely seen ahead.

"Saw the land! Super! Captain Qiu Yu! We will arrive at the Alabasta port soon!" Frankie called Qiu Yu, and woke up Feng Clay by the way.

"Yes! Good morning Franky-chan, where did Qiu Yu-chan go?" Xiao Feng asked, stretching his back.

"I'm here. Franky, go ahead at full speed!" Qiu Yu walked out of the door space and said to Franky.

……

Soon, the Dawn followed Xiao Feng's ship and docked at a pier of Baroque Works.

"Oooh~ I'm finally back!" Von Clay said happily.

"Then let's say goodbye here, Qiu Yu-chan, and Franky-chan! This is a map of Alabasta. You will definitely need it. I have some official business, so I'm leaving first~"

"Then, let's say goodbye here," Qiu Yu said.

Von Clay then left the dock with his pirates. Looking at his retreating figure, Qiu Yu murmured: "Haha, I believe we will meet again soon, mr2, I must let you board my Dawn and become my partner!"

"Captain Qiu Yu, let me check the supplies on the ship first to see what supplies are needed. Wait for me a moment!" Franky shouted.

"Well, no problem!" Qiu Yu replied.

Qiu Yu walked boredly on the rocks not far from the pier. Suddenly, a group of seal-like creatures appeared and waved their fists at Qiu Yu.

"Oh? Isn't this Kung Fu Manatee? Hahaha, what a group of interesting little guys. You must want to challenge me, hahaha!" Qiu Yu smiled.

One of the strongest kung fu manatees jumped in front of Qiu Yu and gestured at Qiu Yu with his fists.

"Oh! By the way, don't I have that thing?" Qiu Yu suddenly remembered. He reached into the door space, took out the animal language translation earphones that were an extra bonus from the system, and inserted them into his ears.

"Let's duel, human! If you win, we will worship you as our teacher!" said the kung fu manatee.

"Hahaha~ That's interesting. You must be the leader of this group of kung fu manatees. Come on, I accept your challenge, but I want you all to come together!" Qiu Yu said playfully.

"!!" The Kung Fu manatees felt that they had been underestimated and rushed forward together, trying to teach this stranger a lesson with their fists.

[Iron·Gang]!

Qiu Yu stood there and allowed these little guys to attack.

After rounds of fist attacks, the Kung Fu Manatees were exhausted one by one, but Qiu Yu still stood motionless.

Qiu Yu yawned: "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, let's not waste any more time. Let me give you a glimpse of my power!"

Qiu Yu clenched his right fist and punched the ground under his feet.

Cracks appeared on the ground instantly! All the kung fu manatees fell to the ground, leaving only the leader standing staggeringly.

"Master! We will be your apprentices from now on!" The kung fu manatee closed his fists and said sincerely to Qiu Yu.

"Very good, you are now all crew members of my Qiu Yu Shadow Pirates! You will be the captain of my Kung Fu Manatee Commando. I will call you Niu Niu from now on! By the way, you will call me Captain from now on. "Qiu Yu said with satisfaction.

"Yes! Thank you, Master! Er, Captain Master!" Niu Niu replied.

Qiu Yu still likes this group of Kung Fu Manatees. In the original work, the Kung Fu Manatees later learned the Armed Color Haki. If all these thirty or so Kung Fu Manatees mastered the Armed Color, they would be a considerable fighting force.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host on the initial expansion of his pirate group. The system rewards [Card Perspective Potion] 1. Note: The potion is effective for thirty minutes."

"Well, not bad." Qiu Yu put the potion into his bag.

"Captain Qiu Yu! The inventory is done! Let's set off now!" Franky called to Qiu Yu.

Qiu Yu brought this group of Kung Fu manatees to the Dawn.

"Ah? Naniqua? Captain, why are you bringing these animals on board?" Franky asked in confusion.

"Ah, by the way, Franky, these are the new crew members of our Shadow Pirates. Don't underestimate them, they are quite capable." Qiu Yu explained.

"Niuniu, you and the other manatees will stay on the ship to guard it. It may take a few days for Franky and I to come back. In the meantime, keep an eye on the Dawn!" Qiu Yu ordered.

"Yes! Captain Master!" Niu Niu and the other Kung Fu Manatees responded.

"Then let's go, Franky."

Qiu Yu and Franky then left the dock. They headed to the rainy land based on Xiao Feng's map. Qiu Yu knew that Baroque Working Group was there.

Franky and Qiu Yu rode camels and headed towards the rainy land. The weather was hot and dry, and the two of them were thirsty. Qiu Yu quickly escaped into the door space, returned to the Dawn's kitchen, took out a few bottles of water, and then returned to the camel's back again. Qiu Yu handed the water to Franky.

"Huh? That's not right, Captain Qiu Yu, why don't you use the Menmen fruit ability to just open a door and go to the rainy land? That would save trouble." Franky asked confused.

"Ah, I think so too, but there is a certain range for the Gate Fruit to be activated. I can open a door within my sight range, and I can mark the places I have visited so that I can do it next time. You can open the door directly and reach the marked place." Qiu Yu explained.

"Soga!"

After sitting on the back of the camel for more than two hours, Franky and Qiu Yu arrived at the rainy place.

"Then I'll go buy some ingredients and tools first. Captain Qiu Yu, go and do your work!" Franky said and walked to the market.

Qiu Yu followed the map and headed towards his destination.

……

A huge pyramid-shaped building appeared in front of Qiu Yu, with a crocodile logo on the top of the building. This is a casino.

"Aha, it's right here!" Qiu Yu said happily.

Qiu Yu quickly walked into the casino. It is a huge area with various gambling machines and table games.

Qiu Yu pursed his lips and smiled, took out the card perspective potion rewarded by the system, and drank it in one gulp.

Then he walked to a gambling table where cards were guessed and he walked down.

"I bet five million Baileys, and the card I played was the 9 of spades." Qiu Yu pushed the weight to the center of the table.

"Is this kid stupid?" "That's right, a kid who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth." People around him were talking.

"I press the 5 of diamonds!" "I bet one million Baileys, I press..." Each player placed their bets one after another.

It was the waiter's turn to open the cards. "Nine of spades!" the waiter said.

Qiu Yu suddenly made nine million Baileys back.

"Haha, that's interesting, let's continue?" Qiu Yu grinned.

In the next twenty minutes or so, Qiu Yu made the right move every time, and everyone followed Qiu Yu's choice, which caused the casino to lose a lot of money.

"Boss, boss, there seems to be something wrong with the table in Area C. There is a person who has won more than 20 games in a row without losing a game. This is not good for us." A guard quietly reported using a mini phone bug.

"Okay, I understand, I will go out to check the situation right away." This is a cold female voice.
