Chapter 16: Wind!

On the Slave of God.

Lin Yu took Reiju and the scientific combat suit transformation device to Charlos and Anna, who were doing physical training on the deck.

Under the gaze of the three women, Lin Yu placed the transformation device with the character "Wind" on his waist.

As Lin Yu activated the transformation, the memory metal armor in his hand began to spread over his body, quickly forming a suit of armor.

It was the PROJECT series from the game Lin Yu played in his past life—PROJECT: Wind!

This was designed for him by Reiju according to Lin Yu's requirements; although significant changes were made, such as turning the helmet into a cool mask and adding capes and other pirate technology elements, it was still very faithful in appearance. ===== CHAPTER 32 =====

Then, Lin Yu picked up a long straight sword from the deck nearby.

This was one of the 50 Skillful Grade swords he had obtained from the Kacinobu Kingdom's treasury, the Skillful Grade sword "Rain Cutter."

"Rain Cutter" was very similar to the sword in Yasuo's hand.

Swish!

Using the tech-shoes on his feet, which had explosive jumping and jet-propulsion functions, Lin Yu jumped into mid-air in one go.

Then, under the gaze of Reiju and the others, he began to fly continuously in mid-air using the jet-propulsion device, which made Charlos and Anna envious.

"Not bad; with this device, I don't have to worry about falling into the sea in the future."

Flying in mid-air for a while, Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at his system panel, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, because with the combat suit's bonus, his combat power had successfully reached 5 stars.

According to the system.

1-star combat power is equivalent to a Marine Sergeant, 2-star Captain, 3-star Major, 4-star Colonel, 5-star Commodore, 6-star Rear Admiral, 7-star Vice Admiral, 8-star Elite Vice Admiral, 9-star Admiral/Emperor, and 10-star is the world's top powerhouse.

After obtaining Reiju's Lineage Factor Cyborg talent, Lin Yu, possessing a superhuman body, successfully reached the 4-star Colonel level, and with the scientific combat suit, he successfully reached the 5-star Commodore level of strength.

Coupled with his ship-control ability to freely maneuver the Slave of God, Lin Yu could already run rampant in the first half of the Grand Line.

Spreading the cape behind him with the character "Wind," Lin Yu glided from mid-air onto the Slave of God under the control of the wind.

The lineage factor modification talents of Reiju, Ichiji, and the others allowed Reiju to possess the ability to control toxins and Ichiji to possess the ability to control flames.

And Lin Yu's was the ability to control wind; this was the main reason he designed the combat suit armor as PROJECT: Wind.

These abilities were equivalent to weakened versions of Devil Fruit abilities.

Although he couldn't yet form large-scale tornadoes like Luffy's father, Monkey D. Dragon, it was no problem to use them to provide more power to the Slave of God.

Under these premises, as long as Lin Yu wanted to escape by driving the Slave of God, basically no one could catch up to him.

This would greatly improve his survival and pursuit capabilities.

"You actually have a special ability too?"

Reiju was shocked to see the airflow surrounding Lin Yu.

The greatest ability of Germa's scientific combat suit wasn't flight or defense, but the ability to enhance the wearer's own special abilities.

This was also the reason why Reiju had previously said that people without lineage modification couldn't exert the full functions of the combat suit.

Charlos and Anna beside Reiju also looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

It was also their first time knowing that Lin Yu possessed the ability to control wind.

The Slave of God, with its dual power of sails and steam, was already extremely fast, and now he had the ability to control wind.

The Marines would probably never be able to catch him in the future.

Thinking of Lin Yu's ship-control and wind-control abilities, Charlos felt despair in her heart and completely gave up the idea of expecting to be rescued.

[Ding! Charlos's friendliness +10...]

[Ding! Charlos's friendliness +10...]

Looking at the notification in front of him, Lin Yu glanced at Charlos strangely, not knowing why her friendliness toward him had suddenly increased and quickly reached 30.

Was it because she saw the ability he displayed, felt despair in her heart, and chose to submit?

Seeing Charlos's dejected expression, Lin Yu quickly guessed the reason.

Then, he looked at Reiju, reached out to close her small mouth, which was open in shock, and looked at her with a smile:

"If I say I'm also a Lineage Factor Cyborg like you now, would you believe me?"

Reiju's eyes widened, catching a key point in Lin Yu's words, and she said in astonishment:

"Now also?"

"That means you weren't before?"

Lin Yu smiled upon hearing this, pinched Reiju's pretty face, and laughed: "This counts as my special ability."

With her pretty face pinched, Reiju blushed.

She was still not used to Lin Yu's intimate actions, but because of her father's orders, she couldn't resist him and could only bear it obediently.

Anna and Charlos nearby saw Lin Yu's actions and felt a little jealous.

Because they had never been treated so gently; Lin Yu was very rough with them, even at night.

And Charlos was still wearing the special collar.

"If you've rested enough."

"Continue."

Glancing at Charlos and Anna, Lin Yu told them to continue their physical training.

Only the stronger they were, the more Lin Yu would earn per hour.

"Yes." Charlos and Anna answered in unison and began running on the deck again.

And Lin Yu pulled Reiju toward the captain's cabin.

Two more days passed like this, and Lin Yu finally found an opportunity to test his current combat power.

"Master, there is a pirate ship approaching us ahead."

Charlos came to the captain's cabin and said to Lin Yu, who was reading a manga about Germa 66.

"Pirate ship?"

Lin Yu, lying in Reiju's arms, became interested the moment he heard this.

The appearance of the Slave of God had now been modified by him to look like a merchant ship; although it was huge, it had no deterrent power in the eyes of those pirates, and instead looked more like a big fat sheep.

After all, in the eyes of pirates, no matter how strong a docile fat sheep is, it's just a fat sheep.

"Does this pirate crew have a name? What's their bounty?"

Coming to the deck, Lin Yu looked at the pirate ship, which was slightly smaller than the Slave of God and constantly approaching, and asked excitedly.

"One-Eyed Wolf Pirate Crew, Captain Old Du, bounty 50 million Berries, Zoan: Snow Wolf Fruit user."

"Vice-Captain Old Wolf, bounty 10 million Berries, no fruit ability."

"They have over a hundred crew members."

"They are a household name pirate crew in the North Blue."

Reiju, beside Lin Yu, glanced at the one-eyed wolf flag on the pirate ship's mast and said nonchalantly.

In front of Germa, these so-called big pirates in the North Blue were just small shrimp.

"Only 50 million..."

Hearing that the highest bounty was only 50 million Berries, Lin Yu was a bit disappointed.

50 million made him lose interest instantly.

Lin Yu was very depressed.

A mere 50 million Berries wasn't worth his effort. ===== CHAPTER 33 =====
