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.
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.
