Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Battle Power of 1.5 Million - An Astounding Gain
Kuke looked at the panel.
He could see the battle power of all crew members on board at a glance.
Captain: Kuke.
Vice-Captain: "Phoenix Queen" Gion [Zoan-type Mythical Phoenix Fruit, Bounty: …]
As the reputation of the Sun and Moon Pirates continued to grow, the bounties of all crew members increased accordingly.
Gion's battle power was closing in on 400 million.
Intelligence Officer: "Queen" Stussy [Logia-type Rumble Fruit, Bounty: …]
Battle power: over 150,000.
This was already slightly superior to typical emperor-level subordinates.
Intelligence Officer and Navigator: "Sorceress" Shakky [Zoan-type Vampire Fruit, Bounty: …]
Battle power: nearly 130,000.
A standout amongst emperor-level subordinates.
Quartermaster: "Empress" Hancock [Paramecia-type Love-Love Fruit, Bounty: 600 million berries, Battle Power: 60,034]
Her battle power had just broken through 60,000.
Hancock, who had only recently reached adulthood, couldn't compare her fruit's abilities to the Rumble Fruit or Mythical Zoans, yet she had an impressive battle power of 60,000. Her growth was also remarkably fast.
Ship Doctor: "Enchantress" Belo Betty [Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit, Bounty: 650 million berries, Battle Power: 48,132]
Belo Betty was the holder of the Op-Op Fruit.
It was no longer a secret.
The Op-Op Fruit's incredible nature had driven Betty's bounty up quickly.
Similarly, her development of the fruit's capabilities continued to deepen, and its legendary powers had begun to truly emerge. She was poised for further rapid growth.
Assistant Chef: Lily Enstomark [Paramecia-type Mini-Mini Fruit, Giant, Bounty: 100 million, Battle Power: 35,123]
Lily was not particularly well-known on the seas.
Her bounty wasn't high.
But her battle power was respectable.
With a power level of over 35,000, mastery of Armament and Observation Haki, and the Giant race combined with the Mini-Mini Fruit, she had great potential to become a mainstay of the Sun and Moon Pirates.
Historian: Nico Robin [Paramecia-type Flower-Flower Fruit, Bounty: 100 million, Battle Power: 12,362]
Nico Robin had not improved in all aspects.
First, her fruit, the Flower-Flower Fruit, was rather ordinary.
Secondly, Robin had to focus on enhancing her physical condition, building stamina, and learning Haki in order to better develop her Devil Fruit's potential.
In Kuke's view, Nico Robin's main role wasn't combat.
General Crew Member 1: Boa Sandersonia [Zoan-type Anaconda Model, Bounty: 80 million berries, Battle Power: 14,623]
General Crew Member 2: Boa Marigold [Zoan-type Cobra Model, Bounty: 60 million berries, Battle Power: 12,634]
Hancock's two younger sisters.
They were the least prominent members on board.
But they were not weak.
With power levels over 10,000, they would be considered formidable in the first half of the Grand Line.
They ranked as upper-level fighters in any emperor crew.
However, they remained largely unnoticed amongst the Sun and Moon Pirates.
Chef: Makino [Non-Devil Fruit User, Bounty: 10 million berries, Battle Power: 156]
Makino was just an ordinary person.
Assistant Intelligence Officer: Koala [Non-Devil Fruit User, Bounty: 1,000 berries, Battle Power: 4,825]
After her physical growth during the Wano arc, Koala also experienced rapid development.
Over the two months since Wano, her battle power had doubled.
Her bounty had not changed.
The world was still unaware that the little girls of the Sun and Moon Pirates had now become grown women.
Swordsman: Kuina [Non-Devil Fruit User, Bounty: 1,000 berries, Battle Power: 16,423]
Kuina's abilities had undergone a complete transformation.
During the battle in Wano, she reached the state of cutting steel and learned flying slashes. Her power level had since doubled.
Although not widely known, Kuina had already surpassed many famous swordsmen.
Kuke believed that in just a few years, Kuina would rank among the top fighters of the pirate crew.
Lookout: Violet [Paramecia-type Glare-Glare Fruit, Bounty: 80 million, Battle Power: 6,913]
Violet's main value did not lie in combat.
Her abilities had a role no less significant than any other crew member.
Trainee Sniper: Baby-5 [Paramecia-type Weapon-Weapon Fruit, Bounty: 1 million, Battle Power: 7,913]
A good Devil Fruit.
But compared to Kuina, Baby-5's own natural talents were far inferior.
Despite Kuke putting in the same effort in training all of them, Kuina stood out significantly.
Warrior and Courtesan: Black Maria [Zoan-type Ancient Model Spider-Spider Fruit, Bounty: 300 million berries, Battle Power: 30,067]
Not much had changed.
Warrior: Ulti [Zoan-type Ancient Pachycephalosaurus Fruit, Bounty: 0, Battle Power: 8,931]
Rapid progress.
Physically matured, becoming an Ancient Zoan user, and still in her prime growth phase.
The tyrannical and frenzied Ulti from the original story would soon make her appearance.
Warrior: "General" Yamato [Zoan-type Mythical Dog-Dog Fruit, Bounty: 800 million berries, Battle Power: 103,524]
Yamato saw the greatest growth in both bounty and strength after the Whole Cake Island arc.
Yamato's true identity had become known across the seas.
She earned the unique title of "General."
The offspring of Kaido, wielder of Conqueror's Haki, a member of the Sun and Moon Pirates, and after defeating Cracker and others, her bounty had skyrocketed from zero to 800 million.
Her battle power also surpassed 100,000, becoming an emperor-level combatant.
Her growth outpaced even that in the original story.
Trainee Pirate: Kozuki Hiyori [Non-Devil Fruit User, Bounty: 0, Battle Power: 263]
Currently the only genuine young girl in the crew.
Thirteen years old.
Her body had yet to mature.
When she first joined the crew, her power level was below 100.
Now, it had increased to over 200.
Kuke discovered that Kozuki Hiyori had considerable potential and was worth training.
After reviewing the existing members, Kuke shifted his focus to their acquisitions at Whole Cake Island.
Dessert Chef: Charlotte Galette [Paramecia-type Butter-Butter Fruit, Bounty: 190 million berries, Battle Power: 19,746]
At 19 years old, she had a battle power of nearly 20,000, which was quite impressive.
Swordsman: Charlotte Amande [Non-Devil Fruit User, Bounty: 260 million berries, Battle Power: 24,136]
Swordsman: Charlotte Custard [Non-Devil Fruit User, Bounty: 250 million berries, Battle Power: 25,791]
Warrior: Charlotte Smoothie [Paramecia-type Juice-Juice Fruit, Bounty: 720 million berries, Battle Power: 76,142]
Smoothie was naturally the strongest among the four.
Previously one of the three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates.
Her power was close to what Kuke expected.
The four of them had already willingly joined the Sun and Moon Pirates in recent days.
Their mother, Charlotte Linlin, had also boarded the ship. Combined with the multiple times their opinions had been influenced and reshaped...
Kuke was able to harness all their battle power.
With them, he gained no less strength than when he was in Wano.
Most importantly:
Charlotte Linlin was now part of the crew.
She was the real prize.
Charlotte Linlin [Paramecia-type Soul-Soul Fruit, Bounty: …]
Battle Power: 580,000.
Currently, she was the second strongest on board after Kuke.
Far stronger than Gion.
Although Gion's overall strength had just reached the level of an imperial general, she still could not compare to a seasoned veteran like Charlotte Linlin.
This was the biggest acquisition.
But Charlotte Linlin had not willingly joined the Sun and Moon Pirates; she had been forced to board the Radiant Eclipse.
For now, as the captain, Kuke could only harness half of her battle power.
290,000 in total.
After viewing the battle power of all the crew members, Kuke was in an excellent mood.
This was a tremendous gain.
In addition, there was still one crew member who wasn't aboard yet.
The princess of Fish-Man Island, Shirahoshi.
Kuke glanced over her stats.
Not much had changed.
Her battle power was still in the three digits.
However, Kuke believed that Princess Shirahoshi's future potential was enormous and awaited the day she awakened as Poseidon, the Ancient Weapon.
After looking through all the members, Kuke turned his attention to himself.
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand… a million.
He had broken past a million.
1,480,000 battle power.
A new historic high.
Not only had he surpassed the one million mark, but he had reached an astonishing 1,480,000 battle power.
Charlotte Linlin, plus her four daughters.
Their power contributed roughly a third of his total battle power.
And this was based on only having half of Charlotte Linlin's power.
If he could harness all of it, Kuke's battle power would surpass 1.7 million.
An unimaginable level.
"If I now faced the three admirals, I'm not sure they'd be the ones running."
Kuke felt the strength within his body.
It wasn't just his battle power.
He also had an incredibly resilient physique.
This increase in power put Kuke in a great mood.
He casually glanced at his bounty amount.
After the Sabaody incident, his bounty of 3.9 billion had risen again after both the Wano and Whole Cake Island arcs.
It now stood at 5.2 billion berries.
Surpassing Whitebeard, it made him the highest-bounty pirate of the current era.
Kuke didn't linger on the bounty amount—it wasn't worth caring about.
Instead, he looked at something more important: his achievement points.
651 736 points.
Before heading to Whole Cake Island, his achievement points had just broken half a million. Now they were around 650,000, with a gain of 150,000.
Not as crazy as the increase in battle power.
But it wasn't insignificant either.
"If I hadn't taken Charlotte Linlin and only taken Smoothie and the others, the achievement points wouldn't have even increased by 50,000."
Aside from Big Mom, taking Smoothie and the others was no different from taking Yamato and the others in Wano.
And since Wano was the first, it had brought greater shock. Even after Wano, it had added only around 500,000 achievement points.
Naturally, the gain from Whole Cake Island would be less.
But taking Charlotte Linlin made a world of difference.
Winning over a sea emperor and making one of the Four Emperors—Charlotte Linlin—a subordinate had never been done before.
Charlotte Linlin alone outweighed all her daughters in terms of both battle power and achievement points.
He was still 350,000 points away from reaching one million achievement points.
