Chapter 290

Hearing Sadi

Did Robin obtain the antidote to Magellan's poison?

Could Hiryu have been released this time too?

Hearing Hearing Sadi's words, Lin Yu furrowed his brow slightly.

Then he opened a spatial gate and brought out Kaya to examine Hearing Sadi.

Kaya had already seen Hearing Sadi's condition in the extradimensional space; after a brief check, she gave Lin Yu a slight shake of her head.

Hearing Sadi's blood loss has already exceeded the lethal threshold; the fact that she's still alive this long is already a miracle. Even immediate blood transfusion would be useless now.

Domino saw Kaya's gesture and instantly turned pale.

Then she turned her gaze to Lin Yu and pleaded:

"Please, save her, save her..."

"Cough... cough..."

Seeing Domino's state, Hearing Sadi opened her mouth to say something, but only coughed up more blood; in the end, she could only reach out and wipe the tears from Domino's face.

She knew her own condition best—Hearing Sadi knew she was certain to die.

Seeing the two of them like this, Reiju Nami and the others all turned their gazes toward Lin Yu, hoping he might create a miracle.

Lin Yu, expressionless, stepped before Domino and Hearing Sadi and said:

"If you want to live, you'll obey me from now on."

Lin Yu naturally didn't want Hearing Sadi, one of his target crew members, to die.

Moreover, he could use Hearing Sadi to test the power of the Huang Quan Fruit once.

Although he already had Brook as a specimen, he still wanted to test it again.

And this dying Hearing Sadi was his ideal test subject.

He could gain Domino and Hearing Sadi's goodwill, ensuring they'd obey him in the future.

He could naturally integrate Hearing Sadi into his team, and after her resurrection, she would fully unlock the Huang Quan Fruit's soul-related abilities.

He could turn Hearing Sadi into a card in his hand, useful later when confronting Big Mom, to damage her Homies.

More importantly, Lin Yu could also gain the Huang Quan Fruit's power for himself, acquiring a resurrection armor.

Thus, saving Hearing Sadi was a single action with multiple benefits for Lin Yu.

"If you can save Hearing Sadi, we'll obey you, we'll obey you," Domino said, her eyes instantly lighting up with hope as she nodded frantically.

She and Hearing Sadi were both colleagues and sisters; if Lin Yu could revive Hearing Sadi, she would fulfill any demand he made.

Hearing Sadi also weakly nodded—avoiding death was obviously best, since she was still young and had yet to experience many pleasures.

Then Lin Yu took the Superhuman-type Huang Quan Devil Fruit, originally belonging to Brook, from his extradimensional storage box and said to Hearing Sadi:

"Hearing Sadi, do you wish to join my pirate crew and become my subordinate?"

Hearing Sadi gave Lin Yu a strange look, opened her mouth to speak, but only coughed up more blood.

Nearby, Kaya immediately placed her hand on Hearing Sadi and activated her purification ability, cleansing the blood from her mouth and lungs.

With the blood cleared from her trachea and lungs, Hearing Sadi weakly spoke: "I agree."

Though she didn't understand why Lin Yu asked this, she remembered his earlier instruction and chose to obey.

【Ding! Hearing Sadi has joined...】

【Combatant】

Seeing the prompt, Lin Yu directly shoved the peeled Huang Quan Fruit whole into Hearing Sadi's small mouth.

"Ugh!!"

Surprised by Lin Yu's sudden violent act, Hearing Sadi's body convulsed.

After swallowing a few times and struggling briefly, Hearing Sadi went completely still—she died on the spot.

"You..."

Seeing Hearing Sadi motionless in her arms, Domino stared at Lin Yu in disbelief.

Even Smoker and Runti stared at him in shock, wondering why he did this.

Lin Yu clapped his hands and stood up, casually saying:

"Take her body. She'll revive."

Devil Fruits only require a small bite to activate; Hearing Sadi swallowed so much of it that the Huang Quan Fruit would surely revive her.

Since she wasn't dying immediately, he gave her a swift end himself.

Better dead sooner, revived sooner.

That way, Hearing Sadi wouldn't continue suffering her physical wounds.

After sending Kaya back into the extradimensional space, Lin Yu turned toward the entrance to City Fifth Floor—his time was limited; he couldn't linger here too long.

If the Blackbeard Pirates successfully recruited members on the Sixth Floor, even he would have to avoid their sharpness and resort to a gradual erosion strategy.

"Revive?"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, not just Domino, but even Smoker and Runti stared at him in shock.

Though they knew Lin Yu possessed many Devil Fruits, they had never heard of one that could resurrect the dead.

Looking at the astonished group, Luo Bin smiled and explained:

"Lin Yu gave her the Huang Quan Fruit—it allows the eater to die and revive once. Take her and follow."

Hearing Luo Bin's explanation, the others finally understood.

Domino glanced gratefully at Lin Yu, then picked up Hearing Sadi's body and followed the group.

In Domino's arms, Hearing Sadi's wounds began rapidly healing under the Huang Quan Fruit's effect, returning to perfect condition.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Lin Yu arrived near the entrance to the fifth underground level of Impel Down, he suddenly halted everyone's advance.

Luo Bin, who had been walking at the rear, furrowed her elegant brows and said:

"Someone's coming!"

"Many people—and several of them are very strong!"

With that, Luo Bin drew the long sword on her back and stepped beside Lin Yu, ready for battle.

Straw Hat...

Lin Yu had already guessed who was coming. He reached out and pressed his hand against the air beside him, opening an air gate, and ordered:

"Everyone except Luo Bin and Run Ti, enter the alternate space."

According to the original story, Luffy at this moment would likely be accompanied by Shichibukai-level masters: Jinbe and Crocodile, as well as the Pirate King Ivankov.

To avoid any mishaps, Lin Yu intended to keep only Luo Bin and Run Ti behind.

One was the Great General Star of the Big Mom Pirates; the other was a member of the Beasts Pirates' Flying Six. Both had long since mastered Advanced Armament Haki and Advanced Observation Haki.

They were more than sufficient to hold off two Shichibukai.

Hearing Lin Yu's order, Luo Bin instantly understood. She said nothing more, only sighed, then stepped first into the alternate space.

A clash between Lin Yu and Luffy was inevitable—neither she nor Nami could change it.

Not long after Robin, Nami, and the others entered the alternate space, hurried footsteps rang out from the entrance to the fifth prison level.

Soon after, a vast swarm of pirates poured out from the exit.

And at their head was none other than Straw Hat Luffy!
