Chapter 49: The World Government's Help, My Stupid Brother!
Seeing the scene unfold before her, Najenda clapped her hands and grinned.
"Captain, Ace's fighting style isn't half bad, huh?" she said playfully. "With that kind of momentum, he can wipe out small fry in seconds. Plus, it's good for building up your reputation, right?"
Lu Yu nodded slightly, his tone calm. "Yeah, flashy attacks like that do give off the illusion of being strong."
"But there are plenty of people out there way more powerful than Ace," he added. "Take Akame, for example. No fancy moves—just pure, lethal efficiency. Anyone she kills knows better than to question her strength."
Najenda raised a brow. "So you're saying all the flash is just for show?"
"Exactly," Lu Yu replied. "It looks good, sure. It wins fans. But when you're burning that much energy to control a weak flame? That's just style over substance."
He paused, then added with a small smirk, "Me? I focus on ending fights quickly. That's the best way to prove all this training wasn't for nothing."
Just then, Roelki walked over, holding a sheet of paper.
"The pirate ships we took down earlier? They belonged to the Birudo Pirates. Bounty's at 170 million Berries. And... looks like they were coming for us."
He handed the report to Lu Yu. "Got it from the Newsbird. Looks like our Dragon Hunter Pirates are attracting quite a bit of heat."
Lu Yu raised an eyebrow. "Coming for us? Why? What's their angle?"
He glanced at the document—and a smirk spread across his face.
"So, the World Government's already making moves, huh?" he murmured.
Printed on the front page was big news: The Seven Warlords of the Sea – Bartholomew Kuma – to Step Down!
Though the article didn't spell it out directly, one line caught Lu Yu's eye:
Anyone who eliminates Lu Yu will be given priority for the vacant Warlord seat.
He chuckled darkly. "Heh... clever bastards. They're using the Warlord position as bait now."
It was a classic move by the World Government—redirect attention, control chaos, and dangle power to lure out the ambitious.
And it was working.
The Birudo Pirates weren't random. Without the Government's push, they probably wouldn't have even noticed a rookie crew like his.
Most of the big names in the Grand Line had already carved out territory and weren't wasting time on new blood. They'd been through the grinder and knew the danger that lurked across the seas.
But the Warlord title?
That was a different story. Too tempting to ignore.
"Pfft... hahaha..."
Lu Yu suddenly burst into laughter, his body trembling from how hard he was laughing.
Roelki blinked in confusion. "Uh... Captain? You good?"
He had never seen Lu Yu react like this—even when facing Ace. Usually, his captain was composed. Calm. In control.
But this... this was excitement.
"I'm fine," Lu Yu replied, still grinning. "Honestly, we should thank the World Government. They just gave us one hell of a boost."
Ding!
Congratulations to the host! You've been targeted by the Carlos Pirates. +500 reputation points!
Ding!
More pirates are targeting you. Reputation increased!
The notifications echoed in his mind.

With the Newsbird just starting to spread the info, Lu Yu's fame was only going to skyrocket from here. And with that... more enemies would come.
But that's exactly what he wanted.
This... this is the One Piece world.
Adventure. Danger. Freedom.
It was nothing like the dull world he'd left behind. This place—this sea—was exactly what he craved. To rise to the top, to see a view no one else ever had... this was the dream worth chasing.
"Yo, what are you grinning about?"
Ace strolled back onto the ship, brushing soot from his clothes. "Those pirates are toast. You're just standing here smiling like a weirdo."
"Nothing," Lu Yu said casually. "By the way, weren't you chasing Blackbeard?"
Ace tilted his head. "Yeah. Why?"
Lu Yu crossed his arms. "Stick with me for now. Work on my ship. Trust me—Blackbeard'll come to me."
Ace narrowed his eyes. "Come to you? What are you talking about?"
Before he could press further, Lu Yu handed him the newspaper.
As Ace read the headline, his eyes widened.
The Government was offering up the Warlord seat to whoever killed Lu Yu. That meant Blackbeard, the ambitious bastard that he was, might try to use Lu Yu as a stepping stone.
And if that was the case... then sticking around might actually be the best way to catch him.
"Alright, I'll stick around," Ace said finally.
"Roelki," Lu Yu called out, "Ace is yours to manage. Give him the odd jobs."
"Huh?!" Roelki blinked. "Uh... yes, Captain!"
He still looked a little dazed. After all, Ace was Lu Yu's brother. And now Lu Yu wanted him scrubbing the deck?
But Roelki quickly understood. This was a setup. A trap for Blackbeard.
"Odd jobs!?" Ace shouted, clearly pissed. "Lu Yu, don't push it—!"
But Lu Yu just laughed and walked off.
"Oh, my stupid brother," he called back, "You can hate me all you want—but until you beat me, you're still just that. My stupid little brother."
Ace stood there fuming, fists clenched.
But deep down, the fire in his gut was already pushing him to get stronger.
He would master the Flame-Flame Fruit.
And next time... he wouldn't be the one left behind.
