Chapter 37 New member, Tiandao Payne!

With the ice breaking, the ship was able to sail again.

Kronos stood on the deck of the ship, watching the layers of ice rise one after another, being lifted by the sea before collapsing into the water.

On the other side, Garp stood on a large shattered block of ice, observing the water pouring around him.

On one side were the Kamui Pirates, who were gradually leaving.

On the other side, there were the sailors who had passed out, now in danger of being crushed by the ice and sinking into the sea.

If Garp continued to hunt down the Kamui Pirates, the fainted sailors would face the danger of being crushed by the ice and dragged to the bottom of the sea.

If Garp decided to rescue the sailors, the Kamui Pirates would escape.

After hesitating for a moment, Garp finally gave up chasing the Kamui Pirates and instead focused on rescuing the endangered sailors.

"Rumble rumble..."

.....

.....

The encounter ended.

The Kamui Pirates left the waters unharmed, sailing away on the peaceful and calm sea.

At this time, the captain was indoors.

The long-lost system notification echoed once again in Kronos' mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on the prestige upgrade of the Host, you have gained +500 prestige points!]

[Prestige]: 1003

Kronos couldn't help but feel a little emotional upon seeing his prestige reach four digits.

Entering the prize pool again, Kronos navigated to the page for calling members.

[Call members-800/prestige per summon]

No hesitation, no second thoughts.

Kronos clicked the summon button.

Then, accompanied by another prompt sound from the system:

[Prestige value -800!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully summoning a member from the "Naruto World": [Tian Dao-Payne]!]

Upon hearing that the summoned member was Payne, Kronos couldn't help but show a slightly surprised expression.

Because Payne was a puppet, controlled by Nagato. Summoning just the puppet, Tian Dao Payne, seemed a bit inappropriate, didn't it?

As Kronos thought about this, countless particles of light appeared before him.

Immediately after, these light particles quickly gathered to form a silhouette.

After a moment, a light figure appeared in front of Kronos.

As the light dimmed, a white humanoid sculpture became visible in front of Kronos.

"Crack!!"

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound from the sculpture, and numerous cracks appeared.

Then, the white body of the sculpture began to peel off, turning into small flames and dust that dissipated in the air.

The figure of Tian Dao Payne completely materialized in front of Kronos at that moment.

He was tall, with short brown hair, and wore black studs in his ears, nose, chin, and body.

At this time, Tian Dao Payne's eyelids flickered slightly.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of purple pupils with black rings around them.

When he saw Kronos, Tian Dao Payne spoke softly.

"Captain."

At the same time as his voice sounded, the system prompt also echoed in Kronos' mind.

[Warm reminder: This member was once a puppet, but now has self-awareness.]

Hearing the system's reminder, Kronos was momentarily stunned.

Now that Payne had self-awareness, everything seemed fine.

Looking at Tian Dao Payne, Kronos ordered:

"Go and say hello to the other members first, get acquainted with them."

Hearing this, Tian Dao Payne didn't say much. He simply nodded, responded with a "Yeah!", and turned to leave the captain's room.

After Payne left, Kronos checked the system page again.

At this time, his prestige value remained at 203.

The prestige required for the next summoning was raised to 1600, as Kronos had expected.

"It seems like gathering members will only become more difficult from here on."

Muttering to himself, Kronos closed the system page.

On the other side, after Tian Dao Payne left the captain's room, he walked along the corridor and headed straight toward the deck of the ship.

Suddenly, there was a loud "squeak" as a door opened. Two pirates, who had been talking and laughing, stepped into the corridor from a room.

As soon as they stepped into the corridor, they noticed Tian Dao Payne approaching from the other side.

Instinctively, both pirates turned their heads.

But when they saw Tian Dao Payne's appearance, their faces turned pale, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end.

"This... Who is this?!"

"An... intruder?!"

"An intruder?!"
