Chapter 221: Boni Adapting to Her Role Ahead of Time

Hearing Boni's words, Lin Yu smiled, his gaze toward her softening considerably.

Then, Boni looked at Lin Yu and said:

"I know you want me to follow you means more than just boarding the ship."

"But before I find Vegapunk, you can't touch me!"

Hearing this, Lin Yu smiled and said to Boni: "Young Lady Boni, you have no room to bargain."

"You!"

Hearing this, Boni clenched her teeth in fury.

As Lin Yu said, Boni currently had no room to bargain—she could only choose to agree.

After all, given her current situation, if Lin Yu truly wanted to do something to her, he wouldn't need so much talk.

But...

Seeing Boni's expression, Lin Yu smiled and threw out another bombshell.

"Young Lady Boni, I will soon be involved in the war between the Marines and Bai Huzi."

"Perhaps, I'll meet your father, Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Boni froze in shock, staring at him in disbelief.

Boni hadn't expected Lin Yu to know her identity and her connection to Kuma the Tyrant.

Boni looked at Lin Yu and gritted her teeth:

"How do you know these things!"

Her relationship with Kuma the Tyrant was known only to the Marine high command and the World Government's elite!

Lin Yu reached out, tilting Boni's chin upward, and smiled:

"You don't need to know how I found out. If you agree, I'll take you into the war—personally to meet your father."

Boni narrowed her eyes and continued taunting:

"Though your bounty is now fifteen hundred million, rivaling a top commander of a Four Emperors' crew,"

"as a Godslayer, your going to the Summit War is just suicide."

Given what Lin Yu did to the World Nobles, the Marines would surely target him the moment he showed his face.

"You don't need to worry about that—I have my own methods."

Lin Yu pinched Boni's soft cheek and continued: "Of course, if you refuse, your father becomes one of my hunting targets."

"Hunting target?"

Boni paused, then laughed at Lin Yu: "Before my father's power, you have zero chance of winning."

Boni had absolute confidence in her father's strength.

"If Kuma the Tyrant still retained his personality, I truly wouldn't be his match."

"But according to what I know, he's been modified by Vegapunk—reduced to a state like a Peacekeeper."

"So... whether I can beat him or not? That's uncertain."

After saying that, Lin Yu looked at Bonnie with a cheerful smile.

Kuma the Tyrant's Devil Fruit ability was too monstrous—teleportation and palm-flinging made winning against him impossible for Lin Yu.

But if Kuma the Tyrant lost his personality and became a robot, it was no longer certain.

Hearing this, Joelly Boni glared at Lin Yu in fury.

Because she knew Lin Yu spoke the truth.

Then, Boni bit her lip, her face filled with struggle and hesitation.

After a long while, Boni looked at Lin Yu and gritted her teeth:

"You'd better keep your word!"

"Take me to see my father—or else..."

Before Boni could finish, Lin Yu pinched her cheek and kissed her, silencing her words.

Joelly Boni's eyes widened in shock, then her face turned bright red—she bit down hard.

"Ssshh~"

His lips bitten, Lin Yu gasped in pain and pulled away quickly.

Touching his bleeding lip, Lin Yu smiled: "Boni, you dared to bite me."

"You bastard!"

Boni's face flushed crimson, glaring at Lin Yu with teeth nearly ground to dust.

She hadn't expected him to be so impatient, nor so bold...

Lin Yu smiled, said nothing more, and lifted Boni's cheek again, kissing her once more.

Boni's breath caught—she hadn't expected him to dare again.

"Hahahaha."

Moments later, Lin Yu, his mouth full of blood, released Boni and burst into laughter.

Taming such a fiery woman was far more interesting to him.

For this, even if he got hurt, he wouldn't mind.

"Pfft!"

Boni's face flushed red; she spat out a small piece of lip from her mouth.

It was the piece she had just bitten off Lin Yu's lip.

Yet even so, Lin Yu paid no heed, acting with utter dominance.

"Just wait and see how I deal with you!"

Wiping the blood from his lips and using his purification ability to heal and stop the bleeding, Lin Yu patted the top of Bonnie's pink hair and said with a smile.

"Hmph!"

Bonnie snorted, turned her head away, and refused to pay any attention to Lin Yu.

Releasing Bonnie from the Bara Bara no Mi's restraints, Lin Yu pulled her into his embrace, then drew several high-explosive shells from the void—made by Noko using Buggy's formula—and tossed them onto Bonnie's ship.

Seeing Lin Yu's ability to pull items from the void, Bonnie narrowed her eyes, somewhat surprised.

Seeing that Lin Yu was preparing to blow up the ship, Bonnie finally spoke: "Can you spare them?"

Although Bonnie did not value these subordinates much, they were still her subordinates, and she felt somewhat reluctant to watch them die.

Lin Yu patted Bonnie and said with a laugh: "If you are willing to call me 'husband', I will spare their lives."

"Get lost!"

Bonnie's reply was very direct and domineering.

Lin Yu smiled, air currents swirling around his body, and flew into the air with Bonnie.

Then, Lin Yu extended his hand toward Bonnie's pirate ship.

Seeing that Lin Yu could actually fly, Bonnie was shocked once again.

However, when she saw that Lin Yu was truly preparing to deliver a killing blow, Bonnie's eyelid twitched, and she struggled immensely in her heart.

But Lin Yu did not give her much chance to struggle.

He simply aimed at Bonnie's pirate ship; a flash of lightning appeared at his fingertip, and a lightning arrow instantly formed.

Seeing Lin Yu's action, Bonnie directly reached out and grabbed his arm, looking at him with a conflicted expression.

Lin Yu did not speak, merely looking at Bonnie calmly.

For him, these pirates could be killed or spared; as long as Bonnie spoke up, he would not mind letting these people live.

And as long as Bonnie spoke up for the first time, it would be much easier for the Linyudiao Sect to train her in the future.

"Hus... band..."

Bonnie turned her face away, her lips moving, and a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz rose from her mouth.

As the captain, she could not possibly stand by and watch her crew be killed without doing anything.

Anyway, she had already agreed to follow Lin Yu; calling him that now was just to get used to the identity in advance...
