Chapter 173: Taking stock of the harvest

The next morning.

Thriller Bark.

"Haa~~~"

Lin Yu woke up from bed and yawned.

Just after yawning, he felt a bit of soreness in his waist.

It must be that the sleeping position last night was wrong!

Lin Yu thought this, reached out to press on his waist, and activated his purification ability.

I have to say, these Devil Fruit abilities in the pirate world are sometimes really convenient to use.

After curing the waist soreness, Lin Yu got up from the bed and prepared to go to the study.

Seeing that Lin Yu was awake, Reiju rubbed her eyes and said: "Aren't we returning to Sabaody Archipelago tomorrow? Won't you sleep a little longer?"

"You guys keep sleeping, I'll go organize yesterday's harvest first." Lin Yu kissed Reiju and Robin on their faces and walked out of the room.

Seeing Lin Yu leave, Reiju muttered something, hugged the sleeping Robin beside her, and continued to sleep.

They were really too tired yesterday, both during the day and at night.

After washing up under the service of Anna and Charlos, Lin Yu came to the study, took out the record sheet that had been interrupted by Hina yesterday, and continued to write down all his harvests from yesterday.

Yesterday, in one day.

The Blackbeard Pirates members killed by Lin Yu were: Crescent Moon Hunter Catarina Devon, Giant Battleship Sanjuan Wolf, Big Drinker Vasco Shot, and Corrupt King Avalo Pizarro.

This earned him a Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, a Paramecia Expansion Fruit, a Paramecia Drink-Drink Fruit, and a Paramecia Island-Island Fruit.

As for the Whitebeard Pirates, he killed Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Fire Fist Ace, harvesting a Logia Flame-Flame Fruit and a Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

At the same time, he captured Marco the Phoenix and Diamond Jozu, as well as Ice Witch Whitey Bay, and was about to harvest a Mythical Zoan Phoenix Fruit, a Paramecia Sparkle-Sparkle Fruit, and a crew member.

He also subdued Domino and Sadie, and captured the bespectacled Tashigi.

Plus the pirate prisoners from the fifth and sixth levels with bounties over 100 million whom he annihilated, he could be said to have made a fortune yesterday.

Just the bounties he obtained from killing the prisoners, after deducting the costs for the Devil Fruits, directly exceeded 50 billion Berries!

From these prisoners, he directly obtained more than forty Devil Fruits!!!

Although most were Zoan types, there were also quite a few Paramecia fruits, causing his Devil Fruit reserves to increase greatly once again.

After taking stock of the harvest, Lin Yu took three Devil Fruits out of the interdimensional storage box.

They were the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, and the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Seeing the three Devil Fruits before him, Lin Yu fell into trouble again.

Now that he had the Devil Fruits, he was actually starting to worry.

Because he couldn't find suitable candidates to feed them to!!!

The ones on his ship who hadn't obtained Devil Fruit abilities were only Reiju, Marine cook Jessica, Miss Goldenweek Marianne, Domino, and Vivi.

Lin Yu was preparing to feed Vivi Marco's Phoenix Fruit, so she was directly excluded.

Miss Goldenweek Marianne was reserved for the Brush-Brush Fruit, so she was also directly excluded.

As for Marine cook Jessica and Domino, both of their strengths were a bit poor; giving them these three Devil Fruits felt like a waste even to Lin Yu.

Although Devil Fruit abilities have strengths and weaknesses, it's more important to see who eats them.

The same Flame-Flame Fruit, in Ace's hands, was only at the level of a high-ranking officer of a Four Emperors pirate crew.

While in Sabo's hands, it directly turned into the Flame Emperor, allowing him to escape from the ganging up of Imu and the Five Elders, and his strength was not inferior to an Admiral.

Of course, if Jessica and Domino could grow, Lin Yu wouldn't mind giving them to them, but until they showed enough potential or there was a surplus of Devil Fruits, Lin Yu wouldn't consider it.

Because that would truly be a waste of heavenly treasures.

Moreover, Lin Yu had tasted the sweetness of the joint attack of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit performed simultaneously with Nami, so he also hoped that someone could perform a joint attack of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit with him.

Such a scene would definitely be magnificent and shocking!!!

And the only one suitable to eat these three Devil Fruit abilities, after such elimination, was only Reiju left.

Reiju, whether from talent, strength, or affection, was the most suitable candidate to eat the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

However, she just didn't want to eat a Devil Fruit.

Even though Lin Yu had tossed her around to the point of death last night, she still wouldn't loosen her stance.

And Reiju's idea was also very simple, that is

——To ensure Lin Yu's safety in the water!!!

Although Lin Yu's strength was formidable and few people could threaten him, in the pirate world, the greatest danger was not anything else, but that unpredictable sea.

Facing this sea, even the legendary pirate Golden Lion, who possessed the Float-Float Fruit ability, held awe in his heart, so Reiju naturally stubbornly believed that a ship could not have all crew members be Devil Fruit ability users.

This concept needed Lin Yu to slowly change for her.

However, so far, Lin Yu really couldn't find anyone to feed the Devil Fruit abilities to, and he needed to go find suitable candidates again.

Somewhat helplessly putting the three Devil Fruits before him into the interdimensional storage box, Lin Yu walked out of the study and headed to the prison on Thriller Bark.

Just arriving inside the prison, Lin Yu saw Marine Sergeant Tashigi, who was staying in the cell.

At this moment, the injuries Tashigi had received in battle had already been treated by Kaya, and she was currently holding a wooden stick pulled from a broom, practicing sword swings.

After the baptism of the Summit War, Tashigi's desire for strength grew even stronger.

If her strength could be a little stronger, then perhaps the Marines could have sacrificed fewer people.

Driven by this thought, Tashigi worked so hard.

Lin Yu stood outside the cage, quietly watching Tashigi practice.

Although Tashigi's strength was poor and her talent wasn't high, her awareness and persistence were no worse than anyone else's, a point Lin Yu greatly appreciated.

After finishing a set of sword swings, Tashigi stopped her movements and looked at Lin Yu, saying:

"You want me to follow you?"

Hina had already come to chat with her last night, so Tashigi also knew Lin Yu's purpose in capturing her, and even more so, knew of Lin Yu's righteous act of helping to suppress the Impel Down prisoners yesterday.

Although Tashigi was somewhat resistant, after Hina brought up the argument that Fleet Admiral Sengoku wanted Lin Yu to walk on the right path, but she alone was powerless and needed a helper.

Tashigi found it hard to refuse.

Of course, the most important thing was that Hina knew Tashigi's stubborn personality, so she didn't tell her what it meant to board Lin Yu's ship, planning to trick her onto the ship first and then slowly plot it out.

And Lin Yu also agreed with Hina's proposal to plot it out slowly.
