One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 67: Official Crew Member, Hawkins!

Chapter 67: Official Crew Member, Hawkins!

After the three enemies were eliminated by Hawkins, the handymen of the Dragon Hunter Pirates moved in to clean up the battlefield once more.

To them, it was no different from taking out the trash.

Yet just moments ago, those same enemies were powerful and prestigious individuals. While not Celestial Dragons themselves, they served as their guards—status-wise, they ranked even higher than many royal nobles.

In fact, the three people Hawkins killed were special-class elites. Even a principality's king would've bowed his head in their presence.

Who would've thought they'd end up dead on some random island?

Killed by newcomers, no less.

Despite their strength and status, they were wiped out as easily as garbage—now being cleared away by mere handymen of the Dragon Hunter Pirates.

"Brother Ryuunosuke, all this just because we ate a few of their birds!?" Akame asked, scratching her head in confusion.

Anyone could tell those men were big shots from how they spoke and acted. It made no sense that something so trivial would bring them here.

"They're pretty stingy, huh?" Ryuunosuke replied with a grin. "Anyway, go call Najenda over. I've got something to discuss."

Akame nodded and quickly left.

Just then, Hawkins walked up, his face lit with excitement.

"Captain, am I...?"

His eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"Let's do your evaluation."

Ryuunosuke raised his hand, and the system interface appeared before him.

[Name: Hawkins – Character from the One Piece World.

Fruit Type: Paramecia – Straw-Straw Fruit User

Combat Power Evaluation: S

Potential for SS if powers are used without restraint.

Potential Rating: S

Status: Meets recruitment conditions.]

A robotic voice echoed in Ryuunosuke's mind.

"As expected," Ryuunosuke muttered. "As a Supernova, Hawkins passes both the strength and potential benchmarks."

"Hawkins," he said, turning toward him with a confident smile, "I hereby appoint you as the Captain of our Special Squad—K Squad. Your own crew will now operate under your sole command."

"And from this moment on, you're an official member of the Dragon Hunter Pirates."

"K... K Squad Captain!? Thank you, Captain! I... I will—what's happening!?"

Before Hawkins could finish, a powerful force surged through his body.

"Feeling stronger already?" Ryuunosuke asked with a smirk.

Hawkins' eyes widened in awe. "Yeah! Is this... is this a gift from the crew? Or a miracle from you, Captain?"

Originally, Hawkins had felt respect and admiration toward Ryuunosuke. But now, that respect was evolving—shifting into something deeper.

Faith.

Though the system left a faint mark of loyalty on every recruit, it wasn't enough to bind native One Piece world inhabitants completely. Yet Hawkins was now truly integrated into the crew—mind, body, and soul.

Then, Ryuunosuke noticed something even more interesting.

Hawkins' power had grown not only because of his recruitment—but also due to the halo of the Evil Battleship.

Apparently, once a member is officially recognized by the system as a crew member of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, they can benefit from crew-wide bonuses—regardless of location.

It was a major discovery.

"Perururuuru"

Ryuunosuke's transponder snail rang.

It was Chrollo.

"You feel that power boost too?" Ryuunosuke asked.

"Captain... was that you?" Chrollo responded. "I've awakened a new Nen ability—Angel's Curse."

[Angel's Curse – A Nen ability that allows the user to summon a cursed angel puppet. After acquiring a drop of the target's blood, it can enact an irreversible curse within three days.]

Chrollo excitedly explained the details of the ability.

"What!?" Ryuunosuke was stunned. "That's the exact ability Hawkins just developed and activated!"

Yet now... Chrollo had it too?

He turned to Hawkins. "Can you still use the curse you just used?"

"Of course," Hawkins replied, a bit puzzled. "Why do you ask, Captain?"

"No reason," Ryuunosuke muttered. "I get it now."

He returned to Chrollo on the call. "Chrollo, use that power wisely. It might be a game-changer in the future."

"Got it, Captain."

Ryuunosuke assigned him a task and ended the call.

Then, he asked the system, "Hey, what's going on here?"

[After extracting an ability, the system automatically distributes it to the most compatible crew member. If multiple members have potential synergy, more than one may receive it.]

[The host already possesses various powers and does not require redundant skills like curse-based abilities.]

Ryuunosuke nodded. That made sense. It was even better this way—having a few people specialize in unique abilities instead of everyone sharing the same tricks.

He didn't want his crew to be another Whitebeard Pirates clone.

Power diversity mattered more.

Just then, Najenda and Kuina arrived.

"Captain, the battle's over, right?" Najenda asked. "Should we start moving out?"

"That's what you told us before, isn't it?" Kuina added, looking around.

"Not yet," Ryuunosuke said calmly. "There's a Navy unit lying in ambush."

Everyone instantly activated their Observation Haki, spreading their senses across the surrounding sea.

"...Nothing," Kuina muttered. "No trace of any Navy presence."

They all looked confused.

Their combined Haki easily outclassed Ryuunosuke's. If the Navy were around, they should've sensed it first.

"I didn't sense them with Observation Haki," Ryuunosuke said, then pointed upward. "Look at the sky."

Everyone looked up.

Nothing but clouds.

"...You mean that poop-shaped cloud up there?" Ace asked with a straight face.

The crew stared at him in disbelief.

This guy...

Was definitely dropped on his head as a child.
