Chapter 179

On the starboard side of the Clown Buggy Pirate Ship.

The Divine Slave, half as tall again as the Buggy Pirate Ship, was moored alongside, where Reiju, Sister Tina, and others watched listlessly as Nami and the others played cards below.

Anna and Shaluria stood guard at the entrance to the Buggy Pirate Ship's cabin, waiting for Lin Yu to emerge.

Boom!

Lin Yu kicked open the cabin door and carried Arlita out.

Anna and Shaluria hurried to his side, took Arlita from him, and carried her aboard the Divine Slave.

Whenever a new member joined the ship, they would scrub her down completely—in their words, it was tradition!

Lin Yu approached Miquita, who was holding a terrible hand, shook his head in disgust, and made Miquita glare at him furiously.

Then Lin Yu asked Nokigao: "Did you get the explosive formula you wanted?"

Nokigao gripped her cards and shook her head sadly: "He refuses to say anything. Even Reiju tried—nothing worked."

Hearing their conversation, Buggy, his feet chained with Seastone and his face bruised and swollen, sneered.

He would never reveal the explosive formula, for he knew that if he told these people the recipe for Buggy Bombs, he would be dead for sure.

So to stay alive, he endured every single torture Reiju inflicted.

Lin Yu glanced at Buggy, shook his head, and spoke to Sister Tina aboard the Divine Slave:

"Sister Tina, go get Miss Huang Jinzhou Marianno."

"Sister Tina understands."

At this, Sister Tina extinguished her cigarette and tossed it into the sea, then entered the Divine Slave's cabin.

After daily cultivation, several people on the Divine Slave never appeared on deck.

One was Robin, who studied history.

Others were Kaya, diligently learning Medical Arts; Jessica, studying dishes; Konis, researching desserts; Machino, who loved brewing and mixing drinks; and Miss Double Fingers Sara, who studied coffee.

The last was Miss Huang Jinzhou Marianno, who preferred to stay beside Machino and paint quietly.

Because of Machino's unique maternal aura, Miss Huang Jinzhou loved being near her.

Reiju came over to Lin Yu and asked curiously: "You want to use her Palette ability to make him confess?"

"Yes." Lin Yu nodded firmly.

When Miss Huang Jinzhou used her Palette ability herself, it produced an extraordinary effect.

Even Lin Yu couldn't match it—he didn't like painting or studying color pigments.

"Betrayal black, calm green, friend..."

"Color Trap: Confession!"

Miss Huang Jinzhou Marianno, holding palette and brush, stepped before Buggy, mixed her paints, muttered a few words, and drew a circular pattern beneath him.

"There."

As if she'd done something trivial, Marianno walked straight toward the Divine Slave, leaving behind a graceful silhouette.

Konis had just made desserts for everyone, Sara had brewed coffee—she needed to hurry back and taste them.

"Buggy, can you tell me your special bomb formula?"

After Marianno left, Lin Yu looked at Buggy, who remained calm, and spoke.

Buggy glanced at Lin Yu and said: "The formula is actually in my cabin..."

Reiju stared in shock—Buggy, who had endured all her tortures without speaking, now confessed outright.

Then she turned to watch Marianno struggling to climb the rope ladder lowered from the Divine Slave, failing to ascend, until Sister Tina grabbed her collar and hauled her aboard—a tiny, helpless figure—and said to Lin Yu in astonishment:

"Now I finally understand why you said Miss Huang Jinzhou Marianno's ability was terrifying."

Hearing this, Nami, Nokigao, Miquita, and Aflandera beside her nodded in deep agreement.

The ability to plant psychological suggestions and make others act according to One's Own Thoughts—how could it be merely "a little terrifying"?

It was utterly horrifying!!!
