Chapter 273

"Uh... Snamon, what do you want?"

Seeing her sister's movement, Smugji froze, wanting to break free, but felt somewhat powerless to resist due to the Seastone handcuffs.

"Lin Yu wants to acquire the Devil Fruit ability from your body."

Seeing that her sister could not break free from her restraints, Snamon couldn't help but laugh.

This was the first time in her life that she felt stronger than her sister.

Although it was while her sister was handcuffed by Seastone, it still made her very happy.

Hearing Snamon's words, Smugji asked curiously:

"How does he acquire the Devil Fruit ability from your body?"

Upon hearing this, Snamon whispered something quietly into her sister's ear.

Immediately, Smugji's pretty face turned bright red, quickly spreading to her ears.

Although she was already 33 years old this year, she had been single since birth and had never experienced such a thing.

This made her feel inexplicably fearful in her heart.

Seeing her sister's reaction, Snamon spoke up to persuade her:

"Sister, given the potential Lin Yu has shown, catching up to you is only a matter of time."

"Moreover, Lin Yu originally exchanged for us with the requirement of a political marriage."

"In the end, we are both his fiancées."

"This is something we must face."

Hearing Snamon's persuasion in her ears, Smugji gritted her teeth and said angrily:

"Snamon, you actually conspire with an outsider to bully me!"

Although Smugji knew in her heart that this was something she would have to face sooner or later, she still wanted to drag it out for a while.

Hearing her sister's accusation, Snamon's face turned red with shame again.

Sisters together and such is indeed too shameful.

But the domineering Lin Yu would not let Smugji the sister go, and if the sister continued to refuse, it would only cause friction between the two, which would be detrimental to their future life.

Since that was the case, she, Snamon, could only wrong herself and mediate between the two.

Afterwards, Snamon spoke again:

"Sister, how can Lin Yu be an outsider? He is our man."

"Moreover, if you refuse him, he will not use his ability to help you accelerate your strength improvement."

"You don't want to be caught up by me, your younger sister, do you?"

Hearing her younger sister Snamon say this, Smugji gritted her teeth, hesitating greatly in her heart.

The potential Lin Yu had just shown was indeed extraordinary, and he was cautious in character and careful in his actions.

Such a person would absolutely become the next Emperor of the Sea in the New World.

Most importantly, staying by his side, her own strength might be further improved, reaching the level of her mother.

Furthermore, just as her younger sister Snamon said, the other party originally traded with her mother under the name of a political marriage with herself; in name, she was indeed the other party's woman.

In this way, she indeed had no reason to continue refusing him.

Thinking of this, Smugji's face became even redder, and her heart was filled with unease.

However, although her heart was uneasy, she was no longer resisting.

The Air Gate opened again, and Lin Yu walked in.

Seeing Lin Yu arrive, Smugji's just-made resolve disintegrated again; she wanted to escape, but was tightly held by Snamon.

Seeing Snamon's action, he laughed sincerely.

Snamon said she would persuade her sister, and she truly kept her word.

Then, he floated in front of Smugji, looked straight into her eyes, and smiled:

"Xia Luote Smugji, are you willing to join my pirate crew and become my subordinate?"

Smugji, betrayed by her sister, glared at Lin Yu upon seeing him, gave up and retorted:

"I have already followed you here; isn't this question redundant?"

Hearing Smugji's sulky words, Lin Yu smiled:

"This is a ceremony for boarding the ship."

"Just as a political marriage requires an engagement ceremony."

"Tsk!" Hearing Lin Yu mention the political marriage, Smugji dissatisfiedly pouted.

Afterwards, Smugji looked at Lin Yu and said solemnly:

"I am willing!"

She, Smugji, was destined to become the other party's woman; actively cooperating with the other party was also the right thing to do.

【Ding! Xia Luote Smugji has joined the crew. Please select Smugji's crew position.】

【Combatant】

Seeing the prompt before his eyes, Lin Yu chose the Combatant position again.

As a crew member in the Combatant position, cultivation efficiency will be higher than for crew members in other positions, and the speed of strength improvement will also be faster.

After Lin Yu collects some more special crew members, reaches twenty-seven members, and upgrades the pirate crew to Level Four.

The Combatant position will also provide a certain percentage of strength bonus, which is very powerful.

The joining ceremony was completed; Lin Yu glanced at Snamon.

Next, it was time to enter the theme of 'Heart-to-Heart Understanding'.

Smugji's Toshi Toshi no Mi ability allows her to absorb water to increase or decrease her own body size to a certain extent.

With this ability, Lin Yu's newlywed life with Smudge and Snamon would become even more harmonious and intimate.

Sensing Lin Yu's gaze, Snamon understood at once and grabbed her sister Smudge again.

Smudge guessed what was about to happen and said, trembling:

"Snamon, y-you go out first."

Although her own sister Snamon was also Lin Yu's woman, Smudge still hoped the other would step aside.

Otherwise, it would truly be too shameful.

'Sister, it's actually all the same...'

Hearing Smudge's words, Snamon couldn't help but mutter a complaint in her heart.

The Gate-Gate Fruit's pocket dimension could show the outside situation; whether she left or not made no difference to Smudge.

Hearing Smudge's request, Lin Yu smiled and said:

"In that case, let Snamon wait outside."

Hearing Lin Yu tell her to wait outside, Snamon couldn't help but glare at him.

What she had just endured, Sister Smudge would probably have to endure as well.

However, though she thought these things, Snamon still opened the door and left directly, leaving the space for Lin Yu and Smudge alone.

What followed was their private world, just the two of them.
