Pirates: My crew is the heroine of the 3D zone

But the other party is Lara Croft, the woman who has entered and exited legendary ancient tombs and ruins, survived countless floods, avalanches, and tomb collapses unscathed, a woman who is like a superhero!

Facing the bouncy rain of fire should be a piece of cake, right?

Chen Yong'an was lost in thought about all sorts of things until a phone call from Mona dispelled all his worries.

“We just rescued someone from the flood formed by the fire rain. She said her name was Laura, and she suddenly appeared in Zou after drowning in a shipwreck during her adventure… She is like us, not belonging to this starry sky.”

“I understand,” Chen Yong’an said knowingly. “You all settle her in first, then I’ll head back.”

Based on Chen Yong'an's understanding of the Tomb Raider series, the shipwreck should be the opening scene of the Tomb Raider series, which is the ninth installment.

In that game, players are presented with a naive, inexperienced, yet brave and determined Lara.

Through a series of events, she grows stronger and becomes more ruthless and cold-blooded when facing enemies, just like a jungle hunter.

At the same time, this version of Lara is more in line with the aesthetics of Eastern people. Her facial features have become softer, but her sexy and hot figure has not been reduced in the slightest.

"By the way, didn't you just agree to let D.Va bring out a Devil Fruit for Carrot to see?"

"Yes, what happened?"

Mona looked at Laura, who was wrapped in a towel and drinking ginger soup to warm herself on the deck, and said, "D.Va brought out a Ton-O-Ki Fruit, and when she saved Laura, the fruit accidentally rolled to Laura's side. Do you think the fruit chose Laura?"

“That’s possible,” Chen Yong’an said with a smile. “After all, Devil Fruits can choose their own masters.”

Lara is a force to be reckoned with; wherever she goes, things crumble. Suspension bridges, ancient ruins, bases—anything Lara walks on will collapse, making her a veritable tomb destroyer.

Laura like this is a perfect match for the Ton-Ton Fruit!

No one is more suited to this Devil Fruit than Laura!

"I think so too, but this fruit's power isn't very strong."

"Whether it's strong or not isn't important; what's important is whether it's suitable."

Most importantly, Chen Yong'an wanted to see if Laura, who possessed the conceptual level of ability to crush everything, would experience any unexpected qualitative change after consuming the Ton-Ton Fruit.

look forward to.

"Okay, let's settle Laura in first. You can talk to her about the rest when you get back."

After hanging up the phone, Mona took Laura into the cabin under the pretext of settling her in.

After escaping death, Lara, now with ginger soup and a sanctuary, was once again shocked by Mona's news.

She is no longer in that world.

Although Lara had a premonition from the unknown plants and animals, the Mink Tribe who seemed to have stepped out of an animation, and the giant elephant that towered into the clouds like a pillar supporting the sky, she still felt a strange mix of emotions when she heard Mona say it herself.

Her adventure ended before it even began.

Or perhaps, a grander, more expansive adventure awaits them.

Seeing the complex emotions on Laura's face, Mona comforted her, "I understand it's hard to accept at first, but that's the truth, and we've all been through this."

"You too?" Laura asked in surprise, feeling a surge of joy that she wasn't the only one in this strange world.

"Yes, our team is made up of people from different worlds. It's a bit complicated, but Assist A will tell you all the information about this world and about us."

Auxiliary Machine A: "Hello, Miss Laura, I will provide you with all the information you need to understand this world."

"Thank you."

"No need, this is what we seniors should do. If you need anything, you can come to us, it's no problem... Except for Little Rabbit Girl and the woman with the flower python by her side, those two are different from us."

"Different? I understand. I'll call you if anything happens."

“Okay,” Mona nodded, looking at the support machine, “Then the task of introducing it will be left to you.”

Auxiliary Machine A: "Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've been in charge of this job."

With Mona gone, the support unit began to introduce Laura to this magnificent pirate world.

After returning to the Lexington, Chen Yong'an did not immediately go to find Laura.

It wasn't until the morning of the next day that Chen Yong'an saw this rather classic 3D character on the deck.

It's much prettier than the ones in the game.

Her facial features combine the sculpted features of Europeans with the softness of Asians, giving her a mixed-race appearance.

Her clear blue eyes held a hint of bewilderment, like those of a female college graduate heading to an unfamiliar city to find work.

This is clearly the opening scene of the ninth movie, where Lara is at a loss after encountering a shipwreck.

Young, inexperienced, and naive.

As Chen Yong'an sized up Laura, Laura was also sizing up Chen Yong'an, this man who had only arrived in this world a little over a year earlier than her, but had already established a top-tier power.

Handsome, gentle and refined, exuding an aristocratic composure.

It's hard to imagine that in this cannibalistic world, the leader of a top power would have such an approachable appearance.

Far beyond Laura's imagination.

“Good morning, Miss Laura,” Chen Yong’an broke the silence first.

Good morning, Captain.

How did you sleep last night?

“I didn’t get much rest,” Laura said. “After all, we’ve come to another world, and there’s such a huge thing next to the ship.”

"Isn't it amazing?" Chen Yong'an looked up at the massive body of Zulu. "You haven't seen ocean currents that can climb mountains, towering waterfalls, or continents thousands of meters high. It's normal that you're not used to it."

"Yes...it's beyond my expectations."

"The support machine should have told you everything about this world and about me last night, right?" Chen Yong'an looked at Laura again. "So, how about it? Want to join us on an adventure?"

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to offer you any real help,” Laura said with some concern. “I have an archaeology background, which is of no use in this world.”

"What does it matter?" Chen Yong'an said indifferently. "As long as you are the same as us, that's the most important thing."

If you're worried you won't be of any use, then study hard! Learn how to use firearms, various combat styles, or even Devil Fruits. With our resources, we can make you a powerful fighter.

It would be a lie to say that Laura wasn't tempted by Chen Yong'an's words, but she also knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"What do I need to give up? To become your woman, just like them?"

When arriving in an unfamiliar place, it is essential for an adventurer to first observe the surrounding environment and the people around them.

After being rescued yesterday, Laura discovered that the ship was full of women, all of whom were fair-skinned, beautiful, and had hot, sexy figures.

This is quite unusual for a wooden sailboat.

Sailing a wooden sailboat was an extremely physically demanding job, which is why during the Age of Exploration, all sailors were burly men.

In addition, certain taboos at sea meant that the job of a sailor was completely excluded from women during the Age of Exploration.

Although they later learned from the auxiliary machine that this was a world with extraordinary powers, where human abilities had been greatly enhanced and women serving as sailors had become commonplace.

But it feels really strange to have a ship with all women as sailors, except for a male captain.

It's hard not to make Laura overthink things.

In addition, the women on board all had outstanding looks and figures, making it feel like a king taking his harem on an outing.

Lara asked the Assist Machine about this last night, but the Assist Machine evaded the question evasively.

But this only strengthened Laura's suspicions.

Now that she's been invited to become a member of their ship, Laura needs to figure this out first!

Chapter 570: The Ton-Sized Fruit

Laura speaks very directly, just like most people's stereotypes of Europeans and Americans. She doesn't hold back her words or try to be subtle or indirect because she thinks she might offend someone.

Chen Yong'an didn't try to hide anything. Since Laura was going to get on the ship, there was no point in concealing anything.

“The ship is like a big family,” Chen Yong’an said. “In the monotonous and boring life at sea, it’s inevitable that things that go beyond friendship will happen, and it’s beyond our control.”

"But why are you the only man?" Laura pressed.

"Who knows?" Chen Yong'an shrugged. "Anyway, since I set sail, all the girls I've met who are like us, except for me, are beautiful and lovely."

Laura didn't know what to say, but she felt there might be something fishy going on.

"So, do you want to join us?" Chen Yong'an invited again. "For you right now, it might be the best choice."

Indeed, Lara had no other choice when she came into this world.

The only thing she could do was join a powerful enough force that could provide her with protection.

The Fourth Calamity Pirate Hunters, composed of fellow time travelers, are undoubtedly the best choice.

Laura pursed her lips and said, "Joining me is fine, but it doesn't mean I'll become your woman like them, even if you're very charming..."

Although Laura was born into an aristocratic family, her parents loved each other very much and did not have the kind of scandalous affairs that often happened to the heads of other aristocratic families.

Growing up in such a family, Laura naturally became a staunch advocate of pure love, finding it difficult to accept those fickle playboys.

Not to mention someone like Chen Yong'an, who had a large harem.

"It's alright, let's get on the boat first," Chen Yong'an said nonchalantly. "Feelings will develop over time."

Chen Yong'an's words made Laura take a half step back, a hint of wariness appearing in her eyes, making her wonder if joining them was the right choice.

“Let’s go have breakfast,” Chen Yong’an said, no longer teasing Laura. “I’ll let you try my chef’s cooking; I guarantee you’ll love it.”

Laura followed and went to the ship's restaurant.

By this time, the dining table was full, and taking advantage of the fact that everyone was there, Chen Yong'an took the opportunity to announce that Laura had joined them and become a member of the ship.

The people on the ship naturally gave her a warm welcome. Given Lara's background as a fellow time traveler and her female identity, it was a foregone conclusion that she would become a member of the ship.

Aside from Hancock's slight displeasure, Laura's joining the ship meant that there was now another person to share Chen Yong'an with.

Of course, Hancock doesn't consider Lara a worthy competitor.

After all, Lara is far inferior to Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, in terms of both figure and beauty.

After introducing themselves to each other, Laura began to enjoy the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Tifa and the others.

Then Laura was amazed by the delicious food.

Even though Laura is someone who has seen grand occasions and frequented aristocratic banquets and high-end restaurants.

It's not just about the taste; it's more about how the food transforms into pure energy, spreading from the lower abdomen to other parts of the body.

Without realizing it, Laura had already eaten several times her usual amount! (The last part is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)

Laura instinctively touched her lower abdomen, but couldn't feel much movement, which made her a little worried.

Could it be that something is wrong with my health?

“Being able to eat is an incredible skill here,” Chen Yong’an said, filling Laura’s plate with sea king pasta and steak. “You have a real talent. Don’t be shy with us, eat as much as you can, until you can’t eat anymore.”

“This skill is called ‘Life Return’ in this world,” the angel explained. “It converts the food you eat into pure energy and stores it. You can then use this energy in battle. Theoretically, the more you eat, the stronger you become.”

“Most of us have this skill,” Mary Rose said, swallowing the fish fillet in her hand. “Just eat as much as you want, you won’t get fat.”

Hearing this, Laura felt relieved and ate two more portions of her usual food until she couldn't eat anymore.

After breakfast, Carrot, who had spent the night on the ship, returned to Zou. She was a member of the King Bird and the Musketeers and still had work to do.

Chen Yong'an then returned to the captain's cabin, took a Devil Fruit from the vault, and gave it to Laura.

Laura looked at the Devil Fruit in her hand, which was shaped like a weight, had a metallic black color, and was decorated with cloud-like patterns. For some reason, she felt an urge to eat it.

"Could this be what they call a Devil Fruit?"

“That’s right,” Chen Yong’an replied. “When I saved you yesterday, this fruit accidentally rolled into your hand, so I thought it might be suitable for you.”

"What is its ability?" Laura stroked the texture on the Devil Fruit. Last night, the Assist Machine had already told her about Devil Fruits and their weaknesses. Now, all she was curious about was the fruit's ability.

"I don't know," Chen Yong'an chose to conceal the truth. "It's because we don't know its name or its effects that we haven't consumed it."

"I'm giving it to you because legend says Devil Fruits choose their masters, and that's why I'm giving it to you because of what happened last night... So? Want to eat it?"

"Ah."

Laura nodded and said honestly, "This Devil Fruit gives me an urge to eat it."

Laura's words made Chen Yong'an beam with joy, completely dispelling the last trace of guilt he felt for deceiving the female college student who had just entered the workforce. He said, "So, this fruit was prepared entirely for you."

"Then eat quickly," Mai Shiranui said eagerly, "I want to see what kind of power this fruit has."

It wasn't just Mai Shiranui who was curious; everyone else wanted to see what would happen if Lara ate it.
