Chapter 29

Because she had been abducted by Lin Yu, she had missed the time to prepare lunch, and as the cook, she now had to work overtime to make lunch.

After she boarded the ship, Anna and Charlos no longer prepared meals, but instead followed Lin Yu closely as personal maids.

"Don't say you don't like it."

Nojiko pinched Reiju’s glowing, pretty face and said with a giggle.

Reiju blushed at what she said and couldn't find a word to refute.

Lin Yu’s strength was indeed very strong...

"Sister Makino, how did you get Big Brother Lin Yu to give you a Devil Fruit?"

Nojiko finished her drink, came to Makino’s side, and acted spoiled.

Both gentle and kind, Makino had a gentle, maternal aura about her, which reminded Nojiko of Belle-mère, so she liked her very much.

Reiju, nearby, was the same; when she had nothing to do, she also liked to stay by Makino’s side.

Makino placed a plate of food on the dining table and pouted, "Isn't it the same as you?"

"I don't believe it; tell me everything that happened between you and him." Nojiko clearly didn't believe her.

Nojiko thought that Lin Yu didn't give her a Devil Fruit because she hadn't satisfied him, so she prepared to ask Makino, who had directly obtained a Devil Fruit, for advice.

"I... I said it’s true." Makino blushed.

"Since it’s true, then just tell us."

"Anyway, everyone has already experienced it."

Seeing Makino’s expression, Reiju suddenly felt it was somewhat interesting and fanned the flames from the side.

"Fine, I’ll tell you then..."

Makino blushed, leaned into the ears of Nojiko and Reiju, and spoke quietly.

"So that’s how it is."

After listening, Nojiko’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran toward the place where Lin Yu was taking his nap.

She prepared to try it according to Makino’s method.

Half an hour later, Nojiko returned, rubbing her jaw.

"It didn't work!" ===== CHAPTER 58 =====

East Blue.

Syrup Village.

The village where Usopp was born.

Kaya, who had pale golden, shoulder-length straight hair, bright eyes, fair skin, and a slender waist, was concentrating on learning the knowledge in the medical books in her hands.

Ever since she saw the back of Usopp’s head on the bounty poster, Kaya had been studying harder and harder.

Just thinking about being able to bandage Usopp’s wounds in the future filled Kaya with joy.

Just as Kaya was studying so sweetly and happily.

Lin Yu had also arrived in Syrup Village for the sake of his future 'happiness.'

As a character who appeared at the very beginning, although Kaya had little screen time, her outstanding appearance and gentle nature attracted the attention of many.

And Lin Yu was naturally one of those people.

Although he had no grudge against Usopp, he still had to snatch what needed to be snatched and poach what needed to be poached.

Even Nami and Robin were his targets, so he naturally couldn't let Kaya go.

He actually didn't want to use force against the gentle Kaya.

It was a pity that his timing was wrong; otherwise, if he had been the one to kill that scheming butler, he could have logically brought Kaya onto the ship.

"Young Master, I just went to ask, and the villagers said Kaya lives over there."

Anna, wearing a backless maid outfit, came to Lin Yu’s side, reporting the latest situation she had gathered, while taking shelter from the heat under the large umbrella Charlos was holding.

The weather today was too hot and the sun too harsh, so Charlos had followed Lin Yu holding a large umbrella.

Behind Lin Yu, Charlos, and Anna, Reiju, Nojiko, and Makino were also each holding a parasol to shield themselves from the sun.

"Good, lead the way."

"Understood, Young Master."

Not long after, Lin Yu and the others arrived outside a large house.

It had to be said that as a wealthy young lady, Kaya was truly rich.

Just that luxurious house alone probably cost a lot of money.

Not long after ringing the doorbell, Lin Yu met the 'old acquaintance' Merry.

Merry looked at the group before him and asked in confusion:

"Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?"

Lin Yu smiled, walked straight into the room, and sat on the sofa inside.

Charlos put away the large umbrella, quickly took the tea set and tea leaves from Makino, and poured a cup of cold tea for Lin Yu.

After long-term training, Anna and Charlos had become proficient in all the things a maid should do.

Reiju, Nojiko, and Makino also sat on the sofa, curiously sizing up their surroundings.

They wanted to know what kind of girl would make Lin Yu come here to 'snatch someone.'

Anna grabbed Merry by the neck, pinned him against the wall, and smiled:

"Call your young lady out; our Young Master wants to see her."

Merry struggled a few times, found he couldn't break free from Anna’s restraint, and was slightly shocked by her strength.

"What exactly do you want with my young lady?"

Hearing Merry’s words, Lin Yu took a sip of cold tea and smiled:

"I want to invite your young lady to board my ship."

Just as Merry was about to refute, he turned his head to look at the stairs on the second floor.

"I agree, but please let Merry go."

Kaya, wearing a cream-colored long dress, walked down the stairs and said to Lin Yu.

As someone who watched the newspaper every day, Kaya had recognized Lin Yu as the God-Slayer who had once killed a Celestial Dragon, and she also knew of his bounty of 1.5 billion.

And the newspaper she was holding described Lin Yu’s attack on the East Blue Marine branch and the killing of the Goa Kingdom’s king.

These things combined made Kaya know that he was a heinous villain; if she didn't want Merry to get hurt, she had no choice but to compromise.

What a gentle and cute person.

Nojiko, Reiju, and Makino saw the frail Kaya, and their eyes lit up.

They finally understood why Lin Yu had come here.

Such a gentle little girl—let alone Lin Yu, even they liked her very much.

Makino even walked quickly to Kaya’s side, took her hand, and asked:

"Sister’s body is a bit too weak."

"Have you been eating well?"

Perhaps it was the gentle, maternal aura about Makino that made Kaya feel she had no ill intentions, so she subconsciously said:

"I have."

Lin Yu heard their conversation and was a bit stunned.

He always felt their conversation sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"Alright, since Miss Kaya has agreed, let’s go."

"Makino, Anna, you stay behind and help her pack her daily necessities."

Finishing the tea, Lin Yu stood up and walked out the door; Charlos, Reiju, and Nojiko hurriedly followed.

Since Kaya had agreed to board the ship, he couldn't be bothered to stay any longer.

"Miss Kaya..."

Merry looked at Kaya, calling out worriedly.

He now also recognized Lin Yu’s identity and knew that resisting might instead cause Kaya to get hurt.

"Merry, I know what to do."

"You don't need to worry about me."

Kaya came to Merry’s side and smiled at him. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
