Chapter 140

The so-called original plan was naturally for Page One to continue acting as a spy for Queen and Kaido, making it easier for Lin Yu to snatch Black Maria and Yamato in the future.

"Understood, brother-in-law."

Page One took the scientific combat suit and the notebook containing the Six Powers training and tucked them into his shirt.

Then, Page One stood up, looked at Lin Yu, and said:

"Then I will leave my sister in your care from now on, brother-in-law."

"My sister has a bit of a bad temper, so please bear with her."

Page One was very reassured by Lin Yu, but extremely worried about his sister.

He was afraid that her temper was too bad, that she would cause some trouble, and then be dumped by Lin Yu.

If that happened, he, Page One, would be in trouble again.

Seeing Page One like this, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh:

"Don't worry, I actually quite like Ulti’s little fiery temper."

"You don't need to worry about such things."

Ulti was crucial to his Conqueror’s Haki cultivation plan.

And the Conqueror’s Haki cultivation plan required Ulti’s fearless and unyielding personality.

Lin Yu would not suppress this personality of hers; instead, he would find opportunities to constantly encourage her and strengthen her resolve to become a Four Emperors-level powerhouse and then knock the head of the Wano Shogun.

Therefore, in Lin Yu’s view, Page One’s worries were completely unnecessary.

Hearing this, Page One breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave."

"Brother-in-law, please tell my sister for me."

Lin Yu was startled and quickly said: "Aren't you going to say goodbye to Ulti yourself?"

Page One walked toward the study door and waved his hand casually, "Better not, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave."

With that, Page One opened the study door and walked out.

Just as Page One left the study, Makino, Anna, and Charlos walked in with several trays of food and placed them in front of Lin Yu.

After setting the food down, Anna and Charlos left the study.

Makino, however, was kept in the room by Lin Yu.

"Lin Yu, is there something you need me for?"

Makino looked at Lin Yu, who was devouring the food she had made, and smiled happily.

As a cook, Makino naturally hoped that others would finish the food she prepared.

Because to her, this was both an affirmation and a compliment.

After finishing all the food and drinking a glass of light beer, Lin Yu looked at Makino and smiled:

"Makino, your skills are getting better and better."

Makino laughed and said happily:

"That’s because I’ve been practicing cooking with Jessica these past two days."

"And because Bonney is here, I don’t have to worry about wasting food."

Hearing Makino’s words, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh; the two of them had really pushed Bonney’s big-eater attribute to the limit.

Afterward, Lin Yu stood up, sat on the leather sofa to the side, and beckoned to Makino.

Seeing Lin Yu’s action, Makino blushed, walked obediently to Lin Yu’s side, and sat in his lap.

Smelling the faint fragrance on Makino, Lin Yu smiled:

"Makino, if I encounter Luffy and the others in the future, what do you think I should do?"

Although the Straw Hat Pirates had been exiled by Lin Yu to other sky islands, given their status as the main cast, they would surely return to the Blue Sea safe and sound and continue their journey to the New World.

And the fact that the Marines were about to execute Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, at Marineford was now known to the whole world.

Luffy would surely learn of this news through some channel, and given his temper and personality, he would inevitably go to the Summit War to try to save Ace.

If that really happened, Lin Yu would likely run into them again during the Summit War.

At that time, he would no longer hold back!

And to prevent Makino, Vivi, and the others from having a rift with him because of the Straw Hat crew, Lin Yu felt it was necessary to communicate with them in advance and give them a heads-up.

Makino had originally been holding Lin Yu’s hand to stop him from being mischievous, but upon hearing this question, her face turned pale instantly.

After a long while, Makino looked at Lin Yu and pleaded:

"Can, can you not spare Luffy and the others again?"

Luffy and Ace were children she had watched grow up.

And now that Ace was about to be executed by the Marines, Makino really didn't want Luffy to be killed by Lin Yu either.

Lin Yu lifted Makino’s chin, looked directly into her eyes, and smiled:

"Makino, having come this far with me, you should know what kind of people these so-called dream-chasing pirates are. Do you still have expectations for Luffy?"

Hearing this, Makino’s face turned pale again, and her body trembled slightly.

During the time she had been sailing with Lin Yu, she had seen many towns and villages ravaged and slaughtered by those pirates.

She naturally detested these so-called dream-chasing pirates.

Thinking of Luffy, whom she had watched grow up, becoming such a brutal person in the future, Makino felt a wave of sorrow.

Plop!

A tear fell from Makino’s eyes onto Lin Yu’s hand, followed by two, three...

Lin Yu leaned back on the sofa, letting Makino cry in his arms, quietly waiting for her to calm down.

After a long while, Makino wiped away her tears, opened her red eyes, and said seriously to Lin Yu:

"If Luffy really does these heinous things, you don't need to show mercy."

With that, Makino got up from Lin Yu’s arms to clear the dishes from the desk.

Afterward, she left the study directly, intending to go for a walk outside the castle to clear her mind.

Seeing Makino leave, Lin Yu sighed.

Seeing people you are familiar with turn into the kind of people you hate is indeed hard to accept.

However, even if it is hard to accept, this is something they must face.

As long as Luffy doesn't give up his dream of becoming the Pirate King, it is inevitable that Lin Yu will clash with him.

Next, Lin Yu successively notified Vivi, Kaya, Nojiko, and others who had connections to the Straw Hat crew, asking them the same question to help them prepare mentally.

As a result, there were three more people walking outside the castle to clear their minds.

Of course, Nojiko was just going through the motions.

Because she didn't really have any feelings for the Straw Hat crew; she just felt she should go through the motions because of Nami.

Nami and Robin returned from Sabaody Archipelago and were stunned to see the four people looking dejected outside the castle.

"Vivi, what’s wrong with you guys?"

Nami grabbed Vivi and asked curiously.

Vivi looked at Nami, tears streaming down her face, and said in a low voice:

"Lin Yu said that Luffy might participate in the war between the Marines and Whitebeard."

"Lin Yu also said that if Luffy really dares to help the Whitebeard Pirates rescue Ace, he will not show mercy if he encounters him."

Nami and Robin were stunned on the spot upon hearing Vivi’s answer.
