Chapter 176: Yalrita

He sensed the two people appearing behind him.

Yalrita was drenched in cold sweat, her face pale as death; she wanted to turn around, but her body trembled uncontrollably, refusing to obey her commands.

Meanwhile, Buggy the Clown and the others, upon seeing Lin Yu appear, also went pale with alarm, staring at him in shock, unable to utter a sound.

Lin Yu, who had brought Efrandera to stand behind Yalrita, glanced at Buggy and the others, then looked again at Yalrita's shapely figure.

Then he stepped beside the slightly trembling Yalrita, reached out, gripped her delicate face, and turned it toward himself.

Truly a stunning beauty!!!

Undeniably, the slimmed-down Yalrita was genuinely beautiful—her figure and features were every bit as captivating as the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock.

"L-Lin Yu my lord..."

Yalrita, her lips pinched into an 'O' shape, forced a smile at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu smiled faintly, lightning flickering at his fingertips.

"Ahh!!!"

Yalrita screamed in agony, her whole body convulsing violently.

Hearing Yalrita's scream and seeing the lightning flash across Lin Yu's body, Buggy and the others shuddered but dared not make a sound, terrified that drawing Lin Yu's attention would bring disaster upon them.

Thud!

Lin Yu casually tossed Yalrita aside, then walked over and sat on the sofa on deck, propping his legs up on the table before him.

"Come here."

Picking up a can of beer, Lin Yu gestured to the limp, trembling Yalrita.

Yalrita froze, then crawled trembling to Lin Yu's feet, opened the beer for him, and hugged his legs in her arms, kneading and massaging them with utmost flattery.

Her bounty was only five million Berries; all her confidence and self-respect had been shattered by Lin Yu's recent electric shock—now she could not even conceive of resistance, only hoping to use her beauty to save her life.

After all, she was well aware of the rumors that Lin Yu liked to kidnap beautiful women—and she was also extremely confident in her own looks!

Cabaji and Mochi and the others, seeing Yalrita so obediently submissive beside Lin Yu, widened their eyes in disbelief.

Yalrita had always been a woman who didn't even respect Captain Buggy—yet here she was, voluntarily fawning over Lin Yu...

"I knew it—you were planning to steal a woman!!"

Nami, Mihika, and Nokigao arrived beside Efrandera, saw Yalrita beside Lin Yu, and sneered.

Then Nami looked at Buggy the Clown with a cold, mocking smile and said:

"Isn't this Captain Buggy? What a surprise."

She had spotted Buggy from the Spirit Slave's deck using her telescope—that was one reason she had chosen to fight!

Because of the Fish-Man Arlong, Nami harbored intense hatred for these lawless pirates.
