Chapter 163

Although his method of forcing the women onto the ship was somewhat dishonorable, he still hoped they would be happy and joyful.

Seeing Vivi so delighted now, he naturally felt very happy himself.

"That's wonderful!" Vivi sat on Lin Yu's lap and hugged him tightly, kissing him hard.

Vivi was truly deeply grateful for everything Lin Yu had done for Alabasta.

"Now you need to write a letter back to your father, the king, and have him prepare in advance."

"If Alabasta is currently facing too much hardship, I can help fund it."

Lin Yu looked at the ecstatic Vivi and smiled as he spoke.

After all, his ship was overflowing with treasure, and he had no objection to easing some of Vivi's burdens.

"Lin Yu, you're so kind!"

Vivi's eyes lit up; she straddled Lin Yu's legs, hugged him, and kissed him passionately, moving downward.

At her current low strength and without any special abilities, this was all she could do for Lin Yu.

【Ding! Vivi's friendliness toward the host has increased...】

【Ding! Vivi's friendliness toward the host has increased...】

【Ding! Vivi's friendliness has reached 100; she will now be eternally loyal to you, and experience feedback is doubled】

Seeing the prompt before him, Lin Yu laughed.

Vivi's friendliness toward him had already reached ninety-plus on the Sky Island; reaching the maximum of one hundred was Natural and Logical.

After Vivi finished writing, Lin Yu held her in his arms and watched as she leaned over the table, writing a letter to Kobra in Alabasta.

After Lin Yu met with Gatz, he would return and pass through Water Seven.

And Vivi's letter would be handed to Espa Goo in Water Seven during their journey through the Devil's Triangle, to be delivered to Alabasta.

With Vivi's letter, communication between Espa Goo and Kobra should proceed smoothly.

Along with the letter, Espa Goo would also carry fifty billion Beri in funds—Lin Yu's economic aid to Alabasta.

Originally, Lin Yu had planned to give one hundred billion Beri, but Vivi refused, accepting only fifty billion Beri in aid.

This was not because Vivi was being stubborn; if Alabasta truly needed one hundred billion Beri, she would have immediately accepted Lin Yu's aid and then secretly found ways to please him.

However, according to Vivi's calculations, fifty billion Beri was sufficient for Alabasta to overcome its current crisis, so she declined his offer.

Lin Yu grew even fonder of such a resolute Vivi.

After obtaining Spandam's hidden treasure on Enies Lobby, plus the gold previously acquired from Skypiea and the Celestial Dragons' Heavenly Gold.

Lin Yu now possessed nearly one hundred billion Beri's worth of gold and treasure; spending one hundred billion Beri to make Vivi happy was, in his view, well worth it.

After all, in Lin Yu's eyes, Alabasta would eventually be his for the taking; helping Vivi was essentially helping himself.

"There!"

Vivi finished the letter, her smile radiant as a blooming flower.

"When I meet Reiju's father and return to Water 7, I'll hand the letter to Espagoo personally and have him deliver it to Alabasta."

"At that time, the fifty billion Beri in aid will also be carried by him to Alabasta."

Lin Yu stored Vivi's letter in his extradimensional space and said solemnly.

"Mm." Vivi nodded with a smile, sitting on Lin Yu's lap, her beautiful eyes fixed on him without pause.

As she gazed, Vivi couldn't help but lean her lips toward Lin Yu.

Minutes later, the two parted.

Vivi licked her lips and embraced Lin Yu again, kissing him deeply.

Lin Yu was simply too skilled; she wanted to do it all over again.

"Vivi, I have a Gura Gura no Mi—do you want to eat it?"

After parting again, Lin Yu smiled at Vivi.

Since Vivi had fully submitted to him, Lin Yu naturally needed to find ways to strengthen her power.

Upon hearing this, Vivi shook her head, "I want a powerful Nika-type Devil Fruit like Nami's. If I can't get a Nika-type, a strong Gura-type will do—but I don't particularly like the Xidemen Fruit."

Although Vivi was now as close as sisters with Miss Valentine Mihawk, and often trained alongside her under Lin Yu's Swordsmanship instruction,

Vivi was always outmatched by her in strength, which filled her with fury, so she desperately wanted a powerful Devil Fruit to avenge herself.

"Then wait a little longer—I won't be long before I acquire some extremely powerful Devil Fruits."

Lin Yu lifted Vivi into his arms and smiled as he spoke.

What he meant, of course, were the Devil Fruits from Bai Huzi's pirate crew.

"Mm." Vivi's cheeks flushed slightly; she wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's neck and nodded obediently.

Looking at the utterly enchanting Vivi, Lin Yu's heart burned with desire, preparing to take further action.

Knock knock knock!!!

Suddenly, a knock came at the door, and Sharuliyah's voice came from outside the captain's cabin.

"Young Master, a ship from Shedao has appeared ahead of the Shen Nu."
