Ye Yu nodded, "Alright, I'll come up with one."
The ship fell silent as the crew members waited with anticipation and excitement. The Pirate Crew was about to get its name.
After a brief moment of thought, Ye Yu announced, "Our Pirate Crew will be called: Dominant Feather Pirate Crew."
Everyone found it acceptable.
"Dominant Feather, 'Dominant' represents Conqueror's Haki, and 'Feather' represents the Captain."
"It really captures our essence."
"Great, Dominant Feather Pirate Crew it is."
...
The crew members all liked it.
Ye Yu corrected, "Dominant doesn't just represent Conqueror's Haki, but a broader concept—Haki. Remember, only Haki transcends all!"
This statement shook everyone. They murmured these eight words, and the more they repeated them, the more they felt the power behind them.
"It seems Haki is very important."
"Captain, we will train harder in Armament Haki and Observation Haki."
"Being on this ship and meeting the Captain is truly a blessing. We've learned so much."
...
The crew then celebrated and cheered.
Xia Ling said, "After we return, we'll take back our territory and celebrate properly."
Zhao Yan'er nodded, "Yes, the true establishment of the Pirate Crew, confirming the Captain, the Pirate Crew's name, and the Pirate Crew's flag. After we return, we'll design one, and the Captain will draw it."
The Executives' fighting spirit soared.
"We must reclaim our territory! Let everyone know we're not to be trifled with!"
"Even if they are strong and choose to unite, we're not afraid."
"The Captain's Conqueror's Haki will affect their lower-tier fighters, significantly reducing their numbers. Then, we can face these two Pirate Crews head-on."
"Let me, with the Snow-Snow Fruit, have a good fight."
...
At this moment, the Non-Ability Users were the most excited.
"If it's true that the Captain is stronger than both Vice-Captains, then it means Non-Ability Users are indeed not inferior."
"The Vice-Captain wouldn't lie to us."
"I used to regret having high talent but being contracted as a Non-Ability User, but now I'm happy. Non-Ability Users are not inferior to Devil Fruit users."
"I believe it too. The Captain must be very strong. The Vice-Captain didn't exaggerate."
...
Most of the crew believed it.
Soon, the establishment of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew and Ye Yu becoming the Captain trended on social media.
Because it was Ye Yu, it directly took the first and second spots on the trending list.
Naturally, many people saw it immediately, causing a huge uproar.
"What? Xia Ling, the Ice Fruit user, gave the Captain position to Ye Yu? Why?"
"Although Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki is impressive, isn't their Pirate Crew based on strength? Did they change the rules?"
"It must be a rule change; otherwise, how could Ye Yu become the Captain? Ye Yu couldn't possibly defeat Xia Ling."
"Ye Yu isn't qualified, right? Just having the world's strongest Conqueror's Haki isn't enough to be Captain."
...
"It's unclear."
"Xia Ling and Ye Yu have a good relationship. I think he became Captain through connections."
"That's possible."
...
Meanwhile, in the Chosen One Pirate Crew.
Lin Muxue quickly found out and was full of disdain and sarcasm.
"He actually became the Captain? What a joke. And renaming it Dominant Feather Pirate Crew? Even more of a joke. Ye Yu, who isn't a strong fighter, being the Captain makes the Pirate Crew's name seem unimpressive."
Li Cang nodded, "Indeed, if he had obtained the strongest Devil Fruit, then naming it that would have been fitting. But now, his only claim to fame is his Conqueror's Haki, which can only knock out some small fries. I think they should call it the 'Soft Rice Pirate Crew.' Those people in the Contract probably just went along with it because he's handsome, letting him live off Xia Ling's success by giving him the Captain's position. Maybe he even seduced Zhao Yan'er, because Xia Ling's approval alone wouldn't have been enough."
Lin Muxue grew even more disdainful, "What a freeloader. He wants to be the Captain of my Chosen One Pirate Crew, to live off my success? I won't allow it, but he managed to succeed with Xia Ling. Hmph."
...
By now, both the Sandstorm Pirates and the Rakshasa Pirates had also heard the news and found it laughable.
"Hah, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew? They don't have the chance, nor the strength," Ye Ming sneered with contempt. "Ye Yu as Captain? What a joke, dragging the Pirate Crew's reputation down. And if they come to reclaim their territory, they'll only be defeated by our alliance and flee this city in disgrace."
Sha La nodded, "You're right. If they dare to come, we'll make them even more humiliated. They shouldn't be called the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, but the 'City-Losing Pirate Crew.' Hahaha."
"The Captain's naming is spot on, hahaha," the crew members burst into laughter.
These two Pirate Crews had already gathered together, and everyone present here was at least a full-fledged crew member. The lower-ranked crew members, totaling sixty thousand, were spread throughout the city to avoid being affected by Conqueror's Haki.
Once gathered, they were extremely confident that the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew couldn't win and would lose miserably. In a one-on-one fight, they might not be a match for the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, but as an alliance, they could definitely win with a significant advantage.
At this moment, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew was almost there.
A crew member looked through the telescope and reported, "Captain, we'll arrive in ten minutes. There's no one from the other side on the shore."
Ye Yu nodded, "Understood. It seems they want us to enter the city so they can surround us."
Xia Ling was confident and calm, "With you here, their crew distribution is useless."
Zhao Yan'er was expectant, "Covering the entire city? I find it hard to believe, but since the Captain says so, it must be true. I'm looking forward to seeing that scene soon. I've already had our PR department prepare."
Ye Yu said, "Actually, there's no need to prepare. They'll do the preparation for us. They must have arranged a lot of people to broadcast from a distance, showcasing the might of their alliance for the entire Dragon Kingdom to see."
At this moment, just as Ye Yu had anticipated, the live broadcast was indeed arranged. They didn't think it would be like the previous time when Ye Yu unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, giving the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew free publicity. They were confident that the broadcast would show their alliance's dominance and the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew's defeat and retreat.
By now, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew had docked by the sea. The crew members disembarked, with Ye Yu leading the way, flanked by Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er. Behind them were the Executives, Combat Crew members, full-fledged crew members, and lower-ranked crew members.
With such a grand display, Ye Yu, as the Captain, took the lead in the center position, which was entirely fitting. Hawkeye Mihawk's attire and the Black Blade Night on his back, combined with Ye Yu's height and build, which were similar to Hawkeye's, elevated Ye Yu's handsomeness and charisma to an extremely high level. Moreover, having contracted Rayleigh, Red Hair, and Roger, Ye Yu's charm and charisma surpassed even that of Hawkeye Mihawk.
Even Aizen, known for his unparalleled charisma in the anime world, seemed somewhat inferior when compared to Ye Yu.
Xia Ling, looking at Ye Yu's back, thought to herself, "Yu is getting more and more handsome as he grows up. Not only is he good-looking, but his aura is also cool, commanding, and captivating."
Even Zhao Yan'er was captivated, finding it indeed too cool, which made her heart race a bit faster. She quickly averted her gaze, thinking, "Xia Ling likes Ye Yu, I shouldn't be charmed by him. Xia Ling and I are good sisters."
The crew members behind also felt
that their Captain was too handsome. Having such a Captain made them feel proud and honored.
At this moment, the entire nation was paying attention, wondering what would happen next.
