One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 29: Smoker’s Nightmare!

Chapter 29: Smoker's Nightmare!

At that moment, Lu Yu squinted his eyes at Smoker.

This guy... isn't he just like Luffy? A big, stubborn idiot.

What's he even doing here on the smaller ship?

Could it be that the momentum of the Dragon Hunter Pirates is so overwhelming that even Smoker, this fool, is paralyzed with shock?

"Heh..."

"As a Captain of the Navy Headquarters, this is how you act?"

"Shouldn't you at least try to greet me properly?"

Without another word, Lu Yu unsheathed Ame-no-Habakiri.

Between a Marine and a pirate, the most sincere form of greeting... is a fight.

Honestly, Lu Yu had been itching to test this guy out—Smoker, who'd been hounding Luffy from the start.

Fighting him would give Lu Yu a good gauge of his own current strength.

Plus, Smoker's character setting was a bit strange. His growth and combat power seemed to mirror Luffy's.

Might as well beat him down while the opportunity's here.

Just like in Foosha Village—Lu Yu used to bully Luffy all the time back then.

Buzz!

The moment Lu Yu drew his sword, Smoker finally snapped. He pulled out his Jitte and launched forward with a burst of white smoke.

Clang!

The force behind the strike transferred heavily into Lu Yu's sword.

"Oh? That's your strength?" Lu Yu grinned. "Not bad."

"But I'm not a Devil Fruit user. That Jitte of yours? Not much of a threat to me."

With a light twist, Lu Yu deflected Smoker's weapon and countered with another slash from Ame-no-Habakiri.

"Smoke!"

Smoker's body immediately dispersed into thick smoke.

Lu Yu's attack passed right through—completely ineffective.

The battle escalated quickly, both sides trading moves in a flurry of action.

But internally, Smoker was panicking.

He could feel it clearly—Lu Yu wasn't using anywhere near his full strength.

If this guy got serious... he could end the fight in an instant.

That terrifying realization nearly shattered Smoker's will.

Desperate, he used his Smoke-Smoke Fruit to create distance.

Huff... huff...

Just that short clash had left him mentally and physically overwhelmed.

This fight... was pointless!

Unless he fought like his life depended on it, he wouldn't even be able to tap into half of his potential.

"No way..." Lu Yu mocked. "White Chase? Is this the strength of a Navy Headquarters Captain?"

"Come on, let loose. I promise you—I won't kill you."

Just as he said that, a powerful wave of energy erupted behind Lu Yu.

Smoker instinctively backed away.

That was it—the same presence that had just now made his knees weak.

Was this the strength of the Dragon Hunter Pirates' captain?

This young guy... had already reached such terrifying heights?

No doubt about it—this was the Era of Extreme Evil.

Monsters were rising from every corner of the seas.

"Tsukuyomi!"

Lu Yu activated his ability. A massive armored figure materialized behind him—Tsukuyomi.

The giant gently lifted Lu Yu onto his shoulder and soared into the sky, hovering in midair while staring down at Smoker.

"What... is that thing...?"

Smoker's hands trembled uncontrollably.

His Observation Haki screamed at him.

He didn't know what Tsukuyomi was exactly... but he knew one thing for certain:

This being could kill him.

"Ah..."

"You ready?" Lu Yu asked coldly.

"If you're stalling just to wait for reinforcements, then I'll lose all respect for you."

Despite his words, Lu Yu didn't make a move.

This guy in front of him—he had already lost the will to fight.

And when Lu Yu saw that, he didn't even feel like bothering to finish him off.

White Hunter... what a joke.

"Lose your respect...?" Smoker muttered, breathing hard.

"Yeah... I've always resented being bound by orders and rules."

"Time, plans, chains—screw it all!"

"LU YU! LET ME FIGHT YOU!"

With a wild shout, Smoker charged in again.

This time, he was faster—driven by desperation.

But in Lu Yu's eyes, it was still nothing more than a predictable straight-line attack.

Even if he was smoke...

BOOM!

Just as Lu Yu prepared to counter, Smoker exploded.

That's right—he literally burst apart into countless wisps of smoke, swarming Lu Yu and Tsukuyomi from all directions.

Though Tsukuyomi's force field kept the smoke from physically touching Lu Yu, his visibility was completely blocked.

The fruit's ability... was impressive after all.

"Chaos Force Field!"

Lu Yu extended both arms.

Waves of energy pulsed outward in all directions, instantly clearing the surrounding smoke.

Smoker's Jitte came slicing back in from the edge.

Clang!

The fight resumed, now even more intense than before.

A hint of excitement finally surfaced on Lu Yu's face.

"Why didn't the captain just finish that Marine off?" Najeta muttered, scribbling in her notebook. "Strategically, that would've been the best move, right?"

"Maybe Brother Lu Yu thinks that guy has some value," Akahime replied with her usual deadpan tone.

"That's very Lu Yu," Kuina added with a knowing smirk. "If that Marine was useless, he would've been cut down like the others on that merchant ship."

Their captain wasn't just strong—he was a wild card. An enigma.

A brilliant, egotistical anomaly.

"Captain! Another Navy ship approaching!"

Akame's voice rang out from the mast.

"And this one's way bigger than the last!"

Another warship had entered the area in the short time they'd been watching.

"I wonder if any of these ships are actually worth our time," Najeta mused.

"Captain," she said, looking toward the battlefield, "what's your criteria for judging whether the Navy deserves to exist?"

"You think the captain needs a reason?" Kuina teased.

Najeta had gathered tons of data, but none of it could help her understand Lu Yu's decisions.

Why spare Smoker?

He came to them, ready for battle. Normally, that meant death.

Wouldn't killing him have established their dominance more effectively?

Her curiosity about Lu Yu only deepened.

He was a mysterious and overwhelming force.

"Brother Lu Yu will end it before those other ships arrive," Akame said calmly as she landed beside Najeta.

The situation was crystal clear.

Lu Yu hadn't even used Tsukuyomi's offensive power in this fight.

Only the passive force field to counter Devil Fruit abilities.

That meant...

He was holding back.

Not just a little.

He was letting the water—no, letting the sea.

If Lu Yu wanted to end this fight, he could do it at any time.
