Chapter 88: - 88: The Fully Equipped Hell Pirates
After loading Charlotte Linlin's belongings onto the Golden Ark, Streusen followed suit, stepping onto the opulent ship. What kind of pirate crew had he just joined?
Was this a dream? He pinched his cheek to make sure. Just not long ago, his mid-sized pirate crew had been wiped out, and he had barely escaped with his life. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he had somehow ended up joining this terrifying yet luxurious crew.
Had he struck gold? Even as a newcomer, he had been given a private room. Was this piracy or a luxury cruise?
Back in his old crew, he had been crammed into a tiny, stinking cabin with several other pirates, often going months without a proper bath. Now, as he stood in his grand new quarters, he spotted golden decorations gleaming around him.
This kind of crew—he would never have imagined encountering one in his wildest dreams. Without hesitation, he vowed to stay forever. Carefully, Streusen picked up a golden vase, hugging it tightly. He even bit it lightly to check—real gold!
"Party time! Party time!"
At Brook's energetic call, Streusen immediately dashed out of his room. As the ship's cook, how could he miss out on preparing the feast?
Stepping onto the deck, he was stunned to see Brook and Antonio already carrying out exquisite dishes, some of which even he had never seen before. The sight made his fingers itch with anticipation.
"Today, we welcome two new crewmates to the Hell Pirates! Our crew is nearly complete. From here on out, we embark on an endless adventure, growing stronger and facing any enemy without fear!"
Brook raised his glass, leading the crew in celebration. He was exhilarated—his crew now boasted three Emperor-level members. With such powerful comrades, he had to keep improving himself, at the very least to keep up, or even surpass them!
"Hell Pirates, the strongest!"
