Chapter 30

Perhaps because of Makino, she suddenly felt that the other party wouldn't hurt her.

"Don't worry, Mr. Merry, we won't hurt Kaya."

Makino had Anna release her grip on Merry and smiled at him.

Afterward, she looked at Kaya again, "Miss Kaya, is there anything you need to pack?"

"There are some books."

Kaya looked at Makino and hesitated.

"Let’s go, I’ll help you pack."

"Thank you."

Arriving at Kaya’s study, Makino stored all the books Kaya needed to take into the interdimensional storage cabinet.

"Sister Makino, are you a Devil Fruit user?"

Kaya looked at Makino’s ability and said in surprise.

"Hehe, you will also become a Devil Fruit user like me in the future."

"You are so cute; Lin Yu will definitely help you choose a very powerful Devil Fruit."

Makino smiled and continued to help Kaya pack.

"Really?"

Hearing Makino’s words, Kaya felt a faint sense of anticipation.

"Of course it’s true."

Makino smiled and said very certainly.

Afterward, Kaya looked at Makino curiously and asked:

"Is Sister Makino very close to Mr. Lin Yu?"

"Uh, we are quite close... I suppose."

Makino thought of Lin Yu teaching her swordsmanship, pursed her lips, and said uncertainly.

"Then when did Sister Makino board the ship?"

"Uh, just a few days ago."

"Is it true that the report says Mr. Lin Yu killed a Celestial Dragon?"

"I’m not too sure, but it should be true, because..."

"Because of what?" Kaya asked curiously.

"Because that Miss Charlos who follows Lin Yu is a Celestial Dragon."

Reminded by Makino, Kaya finally remembered that the maid with the special necklace beside Lin Yu seemed, possibly, and should really be that Charlos-gu who was rumored to have been abducted.

Finally, Kaya asked her last question.

"Then why did Sister Makino follow Mr. Lin Yu?"

"Uh... actually, I was also snatched onto the ship by him."

Kaya: "..." ===== CHAPTER 60 =====

Hearing that Makino had also been snatched onto the ship, Kaya felt terrible.

She now seriously suspected that all the pretty girls around Mr. Lin Yu were probably snatched by him...

"Although Lin Yu’s way of getting people onto the ship is a bit of a jerk move, he is actually quite good to us."

Afraid of scaring Kaya, Makino defended Lin Yu.

Of course, just as she said, except for the jerk move of getting them onto the ship and teaching them swordsmanship, Lin Yu was indeed very good to them.

Hmm, even when teaching swordsmanship, he was very good and very considerate.

Makino thought, blushing slightly.

The two chatted while packing.

When she saw Kaya place a portrait of a long-nosed man in her arms, Makino frowned.

"Kaya, I don't think you should take this."

Kaya was stunned and said in astonishment:

"Why?"

"Sigh." Makino sighed, looked at Kaya, and said,

"Since you agreed to board Lin Yu’s ship, you basically belong to him."

"He might not mind other things, but he is very serious about this one thing."

"You understand what I mean, right?"

Hearing this, Kaya’s face turned pale.

As smart as she was, how could she not understand Makino’s meaning?

After struggling for a long time, she finally tore the portrait to pieces with tears in her eyes.

Watching Kaya covering her face and weeping, Makino held her in her arms and comforted her softly.

Even though she really didn't want to, Kaya still followed Makino to the coast where the *Slave of God* was docked.

"Mr. Merry, from now on, the house will depend on you to maintain."

Kaya held back the tears in her eyes and looked at Merry.

"Miss Kaya, you must take good care of yourself."

"I will always be waiting for you."

Merry was in tears, exhorting Kaya.

Although he was unwilling in a thousand ways, Merry also knew that the situation was stronger than the person.

Under Lin Yu’s fierce reputation, Kaya only had a chance to survive if she followed his arrangements.

"I know, Mr. Merry."

Kaya wiped the tears from her eyes, forced a smile at Merry, and then continued:

"If Mr. Merry meets Usopp in the future, tell him..."

"I already have someone I like."

After Kaya finished speaking, she turned and walked toward the *Slave of God*; a ship rope extended from the ship at the right time, wrapped around Kaya’s foot, and brought her onto the ship.

In the face of Lin Yu’s powerful strength, Usopp had absolutely no possibility of snatching Kaya back.

Rather than that, Kaya might as well cut ties with him directly to protect his safety.

Once Kaya stepped onto the deck, the *Slave of God* hoisted its sails and set off toward the distant sea.

Merry stood on the shore, shouting continuously:

"Miss Kaya, you must come back..."

On the railing of the *Slave of God*, Reiju, Nojiko, and Makino, who had been watching the scene, glanced at Merry in the distance and then at Kaya, who was crying on the deck, and sighed simultaneously.

"I suddenly realized you seem like quite a jerk."

This was the fearless Reiju speaking to Lin Yu.

"It’s her good fortune that the Young Master has taken a fancy to her."

This was Anna, who was protective of her master, speaking.

"Are you going to teach her swordsmanship tonight? Kaya might not be able to handle it..."

Makino was somewhat worried about Kaya’s body.

"Of course, this is the routine."

Charlos answered first.

"Will you give her a Devil Fruit to eat? I was clearly here first."

This was Nojiko, who was very eager to become stronger, speaking.

Lin Yu did not answer the women’s questions.

Coming to Kaya’s side, Lin Yu lifted her chin with his index finger and looked at the pitiful Kaya with a smile:

"Miss Kaya, what kind of ability do you want?"

Although Lin Yu had a Zoan Light Butterfly fruit in his hand, he didn't want anyone to eat this fruit.

Mainly because, in Lin Yu’s view, the ability of this fruit was simply too mediocre. ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
