Chapter 18

“Very well, Master.”

Charlos nodded with a blushing face; she naturally understood the implication in Lin Yu’s words.

“Master, what about me?”

Beside her, Anna also looked at Lin Yu with a flushed face; she did not want Charlos to steal all of Lin Yu’s affection.

“Then let’s do it together.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Reiju: “……”

Reiju, standing to the side, could no longer bear the trio’s perverse topic; she blushed, turned around, and left.

“What a pervert!”

The next morning, Reiju emerged from the captain’s quarters and spat bitterly; she still hadn’t managed to escape Lin Yu’s clutches last night.

Not long after.

Lin Yu brought Anna and Charlos out of the captain’s quarters, and after eating the breakfast Reiju had prepared.

He began to supervise Reiju, Charlos, and Anna as they started their daily physical training.

The stronger the three of them became, the more feedback experience he received, so he naturally could not slack off.

Because she had eaten the Snow Wolf Devil Fruit, Charlos’s performance was quite good.

Next was Reiju; although she possessed a superhuman body, she had rarely trained before, so her performance was somewhat lackluster.

However, her training was not physical; it was cultivating the Armament Haki taught to her by Lin Yu, as well as her own Poison Pink ability.

The worst was Anna; the daily physical training was a form of torture for her.

After ten-plus days passed this way, Lin Yu finally steered the Slave of God to the sea area where Reverse Mountain was located.

“Heh, it seems another pirate ship has set its sights on us.”

“How many times has this been today?”

On the bow, Lin Yu sat in a chair, looking at the pirate ship that had appeared not far away, and raised an eyebrow.

Ever since arriving in the sea area where Reverse Mountain was located, his ‘merchant ship’ had been constantly targeted by pirate ships for robbery.

So much so that he had gained quite a bit these past few days; although he hadn’t obtained any more Devil Fruits, he had acquired 150 million Berries in treasure.

“Young Master, this is the fifth time today.”

Charlos was holding a parasol for Lin Yu nearby and reminded him.

Meanwhile, Anna was behind Lin Yu, kneading his shoulders.

After more than ten days of training, the friendliness of both Charlos and Anna toward Lin Yu had reached over 90, nearing the maximum value of 100.

“This is the fifth attack today.”

“Reiju, do you know the reason for this?”

Taking a sip of a cold drink, Lin Yu picked up a microphone and asked Reiju, who was tinkering with combat suits in the laboratory.

“Idiot, isn’t it because of you?”

Reiju’s exasperated voice came through the microphone; she was currently designing a diving combat suit for Lin Yu, so she didn’t want to bother with him at all.

After cursing, Reiju’s voice came through the microphone again.

“Because of you, the Marines are now very active in the North Blue; rumor has it that Marine Admiral Akainu is even preparing to return to the North Blue.”

“This has caused the pirates in the North Blue to go into a frenzy, and they are all fleeing toward the Grand Line.”

“It’s perfectly normal to run into them here, okay?”

After saying this, Reiju hung up the phone directly.

Hearing Reiju’s words, Lin Yu’s eyes lit up.

Since the pirates of the North Blue were all coming to the Grand Line, if he stayed here for a while longer and specifically robbed this bunch of pirates, wouldn’t he be able to obtain a few more Devil Fruits?

No sooner said than done, Lin Yu reached out and pressed his hand on the armrest of his chair.

The next moment, the Slave of God turned its bow and charged straight toward the pirate ship in the distance.

Because using cannon fire required replenishing shells, ever since the number of pirate ships in the vicinity increased, Lin Yu had chosen to use the ram—to ram them directly!

Ordinary pirate ships, regardless of size, were sail-powered, and whether in terms of power or agility, they were far inferior to the Slave of God.

Thus, Lin Yu hit his mark every time he rammed, and a single ram could snap a pirate ship in two.

Bang!

Not long after, the Slave of God found an opportunity and successfully rammed the pirate ship, breaking it in half at the waist.

Subsequently, countless ropes rose on the Slave of God, and holding flintlocks, they continuously aimed and fired at the remaining members of the pirate ship.

“Ah!!!”

“We surrender.”

“Don’t shoot anymore, we surrender…”

Watching the pirates screaming incessantly, Charlos and Anna remained expressionless, as they had seen this kind of thing many times already.

Moreover, they also knew that Lin Yu had a very low tolerance for pirates who committed evil; he basically wiped them out completely, showing no mercy.

On the contrary, he had never robbed the merchant ships he encountered, and would even provide help.

On the ship’s rail, Reiju watched the pirates dying one after another and shook her head.

In her view, Lin Yu’s actions were even more like the Marines than the Marines themselves.

Ordinary Marines, after pirates surrendered, would basically capture them alive.

Only that Marine Admiral Akainu, known for his iron-bloodedness, would be like Lin Yu and slaughter pirates to the last man.

If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Yu had killed a Celestial Dragon, she would have almost thought Lin Yu was Akainu’s disciple…

[Ding! Destroyed the Remnant Blood Pirate Crew; you can automatically obtain the opponent’s treasure and bounty.]

[Ding! 50 million Berries have been placed in the ship’s hold.]

Seeing this message, Lin Yu curled his lip, then mobilized several cannons to blast the sunken ship to pieces, sending it to the bottom of the sea.

And Anna, standing to the side, was disappointed to see that no Devil Fruit had appeared in Lin Yu’s hand again.

“Young Master, another pirate crew has appeared over there.”

“It looks like they are chasing a merchant ship.”

After sailing for a while longer, Charlos held a telescope and pointed in the direction to the right of the Slave of God, speaking quickly.

“Hmm?”

Hearing Charlos’s words, Lin Yu had the two of them put on masks, turned the bow, and charged toward the other party.

Ramming, ‘flintlock’ strafing, and finishing off with cannon fire.

After going through the process, Lin Yu gained another 10 million Berries.

At this time, Lin Yu, Anna, and Charlos had already put on their masks, and the distance between the Slave of God and the merchant ship was quite large, so his identity was not recognized by the people on the merchant ship.

The following week.

Lin Yu steered the Slave of God, wandering in the sea area where Reverse Mountain was located, defeating dozens of pirate crews preparing to head to the Grand Line, and once again obtained 300 million Berries and one Devil Fruit.

And Lin Yu’s deeds were reported one after another by major news agencies after he saved several merchant cruise ships from the hands of pirates.

The name of the Five Seas Trading Company began to spread throughout the North Blue.

[Ding! Destroyed the Explosive Bear Pirate Crew; you can automatically obtain the opponent’s treasure and bounty, or give up the treasure to obtain the opponent’s Devil Fruit.]

[Ding! Paramecia-type…]

“It’s time to go to the East Blue.”

Having defeated another pirate crew, Lin Yu tossed the Devil Fruit he had just obtained in his hand and smiled.

This was the second Devil Fruit he had obtained within this week.

Because the news that the Five Seas Trading Company was eliminating pirates near the Reverse Mountain sea area had already spread, the number of pirate ships appearing in the vicinity had decreased sharply, so Lin Yu did not intend to stay any longer.

Turning the bow, Lin Yu steered the Slave of God and began to sail rapidly toward the vicinity of Reverse Mountain.
