Chapter 173 New members debut, tornado!
🕑 Added 2025-06-23 11:21:03 +0000 UTCSomewhere in the waters of the New World, a massive silver ship with a seraph figurehead at its bow sailed proudly across the sea.
The skull flag fluttering from its mast made one thing clear — this was a pirate ship!
But not just any pirate ship — the Jolly Roger bore a blindfolded skull with wings.
This was the ship of the Kamui Pirates, the crew that had recently overthrown the Kingdom of Brisbane, one of the World Government’s member nations, and claimed it as their own territory!
“Ahh, it feels great to finally switch to a big ship!”
Inside the luxurious lounge of the Kamui Pirates’ new vessel, Assac and several others were enjoying a rare moment of peace.
The lounge was fully equipped, boasting all kinds of entertainment — a bar, dartboards, and more.
“I don’t know where Captain Kronos found this ship… It almost feels like he conjured it out of thin air!”
“Yeah, Captain Kronos is amazing!”
Poplarn and Kent, sipping on bottles of '857 Rum', couldn’t help but praise their captain in admiration.
This new silver ship, in fact, had been obtained by Kronos through his system while they were at Fish-Man Island.
Its name — Angel of Redemption!
The old ship had been struck by cannon fire during the battle at the Kingdom of Bliss.
Though with Kronos’s strength, it would’ve been easy to prevent any damage, he had deliberately let it be hit — using it as an excuse to start the attack on Bliss.
Three days had passed since they left the Kingdom of Bliss.
With little resistance, Kronos and his crew had seized control of the entire nation.
Mobley, a former adjutant who surrendered to Albedo, was appointed by Kronos as the new King of Bliss.
In less than a day, the flags of the World Government and Kingdom of Bliss were torn down and replaced with the Kamui Pirates’ Jolly Roger.
Though Mobley was trembling under Kronos’s command, he still became the new king — confused, but obedient.
As their new territory was secured, news of the Kamui Pirates’ conquest spread rapidly.
Not only did Kronos gain 10,000 prestige points for taking over Bliss, but the system continued awarding smaller prestige bonuses as his fame grew!
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Prestige +10.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Prestige +30.]
Messages like these appeared frequently on the system panel, triggered by news coverage of Kronos’s exploits around the world.
Moreover, the bounties of all Kamui Pirates members had increased slightly!
Kronos’s own bounty had risen to a staggering 3.5 billion Berries!
Several members received their first official bounty since the Kingdom of Bliss campaign:
Albedo — 200 million Berries
Banggu — 345 million Berries
Hashirama Senju — 400 million Berries
Each debut bounty exceeded 200 million — even Albedo, who hadn’t displayed her full power yet.
This was largely due to the Kamui Pirates’ fearsome reputation. After all, anyone chosen to be on Kronos’s crew surely wasn’t just some “harmless candle.”
Still, unlike at Fish-Man Island, Kronos didn’t receive extra bonus rewards from the system this time, which left him a bit disappointed.
But the feeling didn’t last long.
At that moment, Kronos was alone in the Captain’s Cabin aboard the Angel of Redemption, browsing his status panel.
[Host]: Kronos
[Prestige]: 69,350
[Abilities]: Human-Human Fruit, Observation Haki (Top), Armament Haki (Top), Conqueror’s Haki (Top)
[Recruited Members]: Konan, Gojo Satoru, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Deva Path Pain, Animal Path, Human Path, Hell Path, Asura Path, Preta Path, Uchiha Madara, Artoria, Banggu, Albedo, Hashirama Senju
[Territories]: None
[Prize Pool Access]: »»
Now nearing 70,000 prestige points, Kronos knew it was time to summon a new member.
The value was increasing steadily — in just one breath, it crossed 70,000.
Now that he had enough, he acted without hesitation.
[Summon Member – 51,200 Prestige]
Kronos tapped the summon button.
Immediately, a crisp system notification echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Prestige –51,200]
[Congratulations, Host, for summoning a member from "One Punch Man" — Tatsumaki (Tornado of Terror)!]
[Ding! Member Tatsumaki has received ability blessings: Observation Haki, Armament Haki.]
As with the others, the new recruit was granted Haki abilities upon summoning.
Kronos was surprised — Tatsumaki came from the same world as Banggu.
After the summoning was complete, Kronos glanced back at the summoning button.
He wanted to know whether the cost remained the same for the next recruitment.
To his disappointment — the prestige cost had doubled again.
Next Summon Cost: 102,400 Prestige
The painful number made his face twitch involuntarily.
Kronos frowned.
Why didn’t it double the last time? And now it suddenly did again? Was the system bugged back then?
Unable to figure it out, Kronos simply gave up thinking about it.
At that moment, a girl with curly green hair, dressed in a dark green slit gown, descended from the sky and landed firmly on the deck of the Angel of Redemption.
The others — Konan, Gojo Satoru, and more — had already sensed her arrival and were waiting for her on the deck.
“Hahaha! I didn’t expect our newest recruit to be the S-Class Rank 2 Hero — the Terrifying Tornado herself!”
Banggu chuckled upon seeing the girl.
Though this was her first time being summoned, many of the crew were already familiar with Tatsumaki’s reputation.
As expected, the one with the most casual and easy-going nature, Gojo Satoru, was the first to introduce himself.
Soon, the others joined in, formally greeting their new crewmate.
After all, they would now all be comrades aboard the same ship.
The commotion drew the attention of Assac and the others, who soon came up to the deck as well.
Though Tatsumaki looked like a child, none of them dared underestimate her power.
After all, she was handpicked by Captain Kronos himself.
Even if her appearance seemed young and small, it didn’t change the fact that — without a doubt — she was another monster-level powerhouse!
