Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 288 Departure!!

The mission objective is currently outside the host's safe zone; its exact location has been determined (East China Sea [2354, 8698] (highlighted in red!!!)).

[Please go and humiliate him severely, then kill him immediately!!]

Kyle: 666!!

Is this a genuine case of not even bothering to act anymore?

As expected of the king of deserters, this is truly impressive!

The last mission regarding Momonosuke was, at least on the surface, a recruitment mission, even though the system kept subtly trying to get him to kill the other party.

But at least on the surface, it's not that obvious.

This time, they really didn't hide anything at all. It seems that the reputation of the deserter king is too good, and even the commander can no longer say the word "recruitment".

After all, the things our deserter king did were all quite classic.

The first turning point in their reputation came during the Marineford War when they were cowardly and hid in the rear, unwilling to participate in the battle.

That's understandable, since everyone is afraid of death. You say you're a coward, which is perfectly understandable and not unacceptable.

At most, they'll just say you're a cowardly deserter.

After mentally preparing himself for what felt like forever, he finally mustered the courage to approach Mr. Luffy, whom he knew perfectly well wouldn't kill him.

He never backs down when facing Luffy, even after Luffy becomes one of the Four Emperors.

But when he encounters Mr. Teach, he doesn't dare utter a single word, not even daring to say anything to stop Mr. Teach's dream.

Because he knew that if he actually went to Mr. Teach, he would most likely be killed by Mr. Teach.

Who is he? A deserter king!!

Who can sense danger better than him?

During the Battle of Marineford, he even dared to criticize a blood-soaked general as a cowardly deserter.

To say something so morally reprehensible as to say "stop making unnecessary sacrifices."

If the navy and pirates aren't locked in a life-or-death struggle, how could they possibly sit down, have some tea, and chat about life?

One of Akainu's biggest mistakes was that he didn't stand up to Shanks and kill the deserter king during the Marineford War in the original manga.

Shanks' biggest mistake was stopping Akainu from killing the deserter king.

Garp was the same; he nurtured such a "loyal and righteous" guy, took him as his disciple, and even sacrificed himself to save him.

All I can say is that he has some kind of mental problem.

After going through all sorts of hardships to rescue the other person, what happens next?

The first thing he did after waking up wasn't to check on Garp's condition, but rather to stop his benefactor, his master's grandson.

Don't give me that this is a normal conflict between the Navy and pirates, and that the Navy's job is to stop pirates.

That's all nonsense!

To reiterate, if the deserter king is truly so righteous, then why doesn't he stop Mr. Teach's dream?

Wouldn't stopping Mr. Teach's dream be more beneficial to the world than stopping Mr. Luffy's dream?

It is because of his disgusting behavior that he surpasses Momonosuke and becomes the most disgusting guy in the pirate world.

Even his system couldn't stand it anymore.

Not only do they issue unique tasks, but even the rewards for those tasks are unique.

This is the first task to award rewards based on task completion.

Moreover, only those who know the system understand that it's a system for recruiting geniuses; those who don't might mistake it for some kind of system designed to torture others based on its mission description.

"It seems... we can't just kill our deserter king so easily this time!"

"We need to properly 'treat' the other person and let them experience what 'fun' really means!!"

Kyle grinned.

After waiting for so long, he finally got the mission from the deserter king. He had been looking forward to this mission for a long time!

With this in mind, Kyle raised his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. Then, with a crackling sound, Kyle's body exploded into countless purple lightning bolts and vanished from the spot.

Only a desolate, ravaged island remains, bearing witness to what had just transpired here...

-

Meanwhile, in a certain area of ​​the East China Sea.

A ship, predominantly pink with a feminine and delicate style, and featuring a duck-head prow shaped like heart-shaped eyes, is sailing here.

The hull and sails are decorated with numerous heart patterns and are equipped with multiple sails.

The pirate flag features a skull with curly hair and heart decorations, and its overall design is gorgeous and cute.

But at this moment, a duck's voice, completely out of place with the cute style, came from the ship.

"Coby!!"

"Didn't I just tell you to clean my room spotless?"

"But when I went to sleep just now, I found a hair on the table! Koby, is this your attitude?!"

"If you're tired of living, just say so. I don't mind killing you with one blow!!"

"I'm so sorry!! Miss Alvida!!!"

A short, chubby boy with a round face like a winter melon and a head of signature short pink hair spoke timidly, standing ramrod straight.

He wore round-framed glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses looked timid and evasive.

It's none other than Lord Koby, the deserter king, before his "plastic surgery"!!

But at this time, the king of deserters had not yet become the king of deserters in later generations, or rather, he had not yet found a benefactor who was destined to betray him to save him from his misery.

He has only been captured by the Alvida Pirates and forced to work as a laborer for a short time, and is still living a life where he can't see the light of day.

At present, he doesn't even have the right to betray others.

Alvida, standing to the side, calmed down slightly after hearing Coby's words, but still glared fiercely at him and said:

"If you do this again next time, I think you know the consequences, right?"

"I...I understand!! I promise I won't do it again, Miss Alvida!!!"

Koby shouted, his voice filled with terror.

"Um!!"

Alvida nodded, then suddenly her expression changed, a wide smile spreading across her face as she addressed her subordinates:

"Now, answer me, who is the most beautiful woman on this sea?!"

"Of course it's you, the most beautiful and lovely Miss Alvida!!!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the pirates around them spoke in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized.

Faced with this situation, these pirates could only say one thing:

Nothing more than familiarity with the language!

If you shout this phrase every day, it's no wonder you're familiar with it and your movements are so synchronized.

However, after each shout, they would inwardly condemn themselves: 'Forgive me, I've spoken against my conscience again today!'
