Chapter 218

Next, Lin Yu fed the Devil Fruits to the two of them, one bite each, which was very interesting.

When they finally finished the Devil Fruits, Kikyo and Belladonna were both covered in sweat and pale-faced.

Subsequently, Lin Yu carried the two limp figures toward the bedroom.

Having guessed what would happen next, Kikyo and Belladonna looked at each other, then blushed simultaneously, their bodies trembling slightly.

However, they were Kuja warriors after all, and because of Hancock's orders, they had long been mentally prepared to serve Lin Yu.

So, far from being afraid, the two were actually a bit expectant and excited.

After all, Lin Yu was the man of their Empress, Boa Hancock of the Amazon Lily Kingdom.

Two weeks later.

One morning.

"Lin Yu, let's go find Marco."

Smoothie came to the outside of Lin Yu's bedroom early in the morning, excitedly calling for him to wake up.

After two months of research, Smoothie had finally developed the ability to extract others' vitality from her Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit.

She named it "Life Extraction."

This directly gave her hope of defeating the Phoenix Marco.

Lin Yu sighed, took his hand out from the arms of the sleeping Marguerite and Belladonna, and walked out of the door.

"Are you sure you can beat Marco this time?"

Lin Yu asked while washing up.

For the past few weeks, Smoothie had been asking him to witness her duels with Marco every few days.

However, Smoothie was defeated by Marco every time.

Smoothie said with great confidence, "The previous times were because the ability had just been developed and I wasn't proficient yet."

"But this time, I will definitely be able to defeat Marco; even if it's a war of attrition, I can wear him down to death."

Smoothie's Life Extraction can replenish the vitality extracted from an opponent into her own body, making it the best ability for a protracted war.

Lin Yu nodded, took Smoothie into the different dimension, and found Marco.

Marco woke up from his sleep and let out a long sigh after seeing Lin Yu and Smoothie.

Ever since Smoothie developed the ability to extract vitality, Marco had found it increasingly difficult to cope.

And now, it seemed his life was coming to an end.

Coming out of the cell, Marco said faintly, "Don't forget your promise, and by the way, bury me together with Jozu."

Lin Yu nodded and said, "Definitely."

Marco looked at Smoothie and said, "Come on."

Hearing this, Smoothie drew the long sword from her back and charged directly at Marco.

Seeing the two locked in fierce battle, Lin Yu took a chair out of the different dimension and sat on the side.

After the two fought fiercely for a while, Smoothie took advantage of Marco dodging her slash to seize the opportunity, reaching out her left hand and pressing it onto Marco's back.

Life Extraction!

The Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit ability was activated, and Smoothie instantly extracted a mass of green life energy from Marco's back.

After obtaining the energy, Smoothie immediately absorbed it into her body and charged at Marco again, looking for the next opportunity.

As of now, Smoothie's Life Extraction could not completely break through Marco's Armament Haki defense, and she could only extract a small amount of his vitality each time by touching him.

However, facing Smoothie's Devil Fruit ability, Marco could only choose to resist with Armament Haki, which caused his physical exertion to be much higher than healing with the Phoenix's properties after being injured.

Coupled with the fact that Smoothie could replenish the extracted vitality into her own body to restore her stamina, the tide finally began to turn against Marco.

After several hours of fierce fighting, Smoothie finally extracted all the energy from Marco's body, leaving him a withered old man.

Seeing Marco's appearance, Lin Yu sighed.

After being extracted by the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit, as long as energy and water are replenished in time, one can return to their original state after a few days of rest.

After mastering Life Return, one can even recover rapidly within an hour.

However, for now, Smoothie certainly wouldn't give Marco that chance.

Seeing Marco lying on the ground unable to move, Smoothie supported her body with the long sword in her hand and laboriously came to his side.

"You are a very good opponent."

Smoothie said this, stabbed the long sword in her hand into Marco's body, and prepared to extract the last bit of moisture from him.

Once the moisture in Marco's body was drained, he would basically be dead for sure.

Feeling the fading power in his body, Marco said hoarsely, "Don't forget the promise."

Hearing this, Smoothie nodded and said, "I will."

Marco nodded with difficulty.

"Pops, Ace, Jozu, I'm coming to find you."

Saying this, Marco slowly closed his eyes, completely losing the aura of life.

[Ding! Killed the Whitebeard Pirates' great officer, the Phoenix Marco, automatically obtained his...]

[Ding! Zoan-type, Mythical-type, Phoenix Fruit, valued at 2.55 billion Berries, Phoenix Marco's bounty... requires payment...]

The next second, a cyan Devil Fruit appeared in Lin Yu's hand.

Putting the Phoenix Devil Fruit away, Lin Yu came to Marco's side, "Hand him over to Neptune."

Smoothie nodded, then fell straight backward.

Lin Yu's mouth twitched, he enlarged his body, caught her, "If you don't want to work, just say so, why pretend to be sick?"

Although Smoothie was exhausted, she was far from being unable to stand.

"Hmph." Smoothie hummed softly, closed her eyes in exhaustion, and prepared to rest in Lin Yu's arms just like that.

Seeing this, Lin Yu sighed helplessly, kissed Smoothie, and carried her on his back.

The corners of Smoothie's mouth, lying on Lin Yu's back, curled up slightly, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and fell into a deep sleep.

Afterward, Lin Yu used the Flower-Flower Fruit to create a clone, had it pick up Marco's corpse, and followed himself out of the different dimension.

Another month passed like this.

Reiju finally designed several weapons for the soldiers of Fish-Man Island that utilized seawater and Sea-Prism Stone.

At the same time, Lin Yu had also made the personnel arrangements for those staying on Fish-Man Island.

Kikyo, Belladonna, Sara, Madame Shyarly, Camie, Alvida, and others would stay on Fish-Man Island to protect Shirahoshi, and incidentally train the Neptune Army soldiers of Fish-Man Island, as well as hunt down pirates coming to Fish-Man Island.

Kikyo was originally the captain of the Kuja guard warriors, mastering both Armament and Observation Haki, and in the months following Lin Yu, under the influence of the training room, her strength had also seen very rapid growth.

And after eating the Devil Fruit, Kikyo's strength successfully advanced from seven stars to eight stars, reaching the level of an elite Marine Vice Admiral.

Coupled with Belladonna, Sara, and the others, as well as the scientific combat suits prepared by Reiju, protecting Shirahoshi and Fish-Man Island was more than enough.

Of course, that is provided the opponent is not at the level of an Admiral or Emperor.

A few days later, Lin Yu prepared to leave Fish-Man Island.

He had stayed on Fish-Man Island for nearly half a year, and it was time to leave.

Shirahoshi, who had turned into her human form, hugged Lin Yu and refused to let go, saying with extreme reluctance, "My lord Lin Yu, you must come to see me again."

Lin Yu broke free from Shirahoshi and smiled, "That goes without saying."

"Mm, I will also work hard to follow Sister Kikyo's training," Shirahoshi promised.

Subsequently, she came to the bubble of Thriller Bark and reached out to press on it.

Not long after, a Sea King with a huge lantern hanging on its forehead came to the side of Thriller Bark.

Shirahoshi pointed at the giant Sea King and said, "My lord Lin Yu, let it lead you on your voyage from here on."

Seeing this scene, Lin Yu nodded with a smile.

"Good."

With the improvement of her strength, Shirahoshi's communication with Sea Kings was becoming more and more proficient; he believed that it wouldn't be long before she could fully master the power of the Sea King Poseidon.

Afterward, Lin Yu bid farewell to Shirahoshi and the others, boarded Thriller Bark, followed the giant lantern Sea King, passed through the huge hole beneath the Red Line, and headed to the New World.
