Chapter 361: The War of the Three Emperors

Black Maria said this, then bowed gracefully to Lin Yu, knelt before him, and showed her submission.

The moment Reiju had captured Straw Man and Candle Man from the Red Hair ship and cleanly killed them, it left Black Maria with deep psychological trauma, fearing that one small mistake would get her killed by the other party.

And the strength Lin Yu had just displayed made Black Maria lose all desire to resist, leaving her no choice but to submit obediently.

Being able to beat the Red Hair Pirates into such a wretched state, that sheer strength alone was something Black Maria could not possibly counter.

Seeing how sensible Black Maria was, Lin Yu smiled and glanced at Reiju.

Now he understood why Reiju had executed Hawkins and Candle Man 3 in advance; it was purely killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

"I'm impressive, right?" Reiju smiled proudly and took hold of Lin Yu's hand.

"Impressive!" Lin Yu gave a thumbs-up, praising her from the bottom of his heart.

With Reiju around, he really had to worry about far fewer things.

On the other side, Pudding, seeing Black Maria of the Tobiroppo in this state, frowned in displeasure.

"No backbone."

Hearing this, the kneeling Black Maria lifted her body, glared at Pudding, and shouted angrily:

"Little Pudding, I treated you well for nothing before; you actually teamed up to capture me."

Pudding raised her chin and said solemnly:

"Lin Yu has set his sights on you; you cannot escape. I came to capture you personally for your own good."

Black Maria was about to retort when she saw Lin Yu looking at her, which scared her into kneeling properly immediately.

Lin Yu approached the kneeling Black Maria, reached out to lift her chin, looked at her exquisite beautiful face, and smiled:

"Black Maria, are you willing to join my pirate crew and become my subordinate?"

"I am willing."

Black Maria answered with extreme deference.

【Ding! Black Maria joined the crew...】

Seeing the prompt before his eyes, Lin Yu waved his hand, telling Pudding to take Maria away and, in the meantime, explain the ship's rules to her.

Watching Black Maria leave with Pudding, Lin Yu stroked his chin.

It must be said that Black Maria was truly beautiful, and with a height of eight meters, training her would certainly be very interesting.

The only regret was that the Ark Proverb was not large enough to withstand a battle between two giants.

Withdrawing his gaze from Black Maria, Lin Yu looked at Reiju and said:

"Let's return to the Thriller Bark first, have it coated, and then head to Amazon Lily."

The Thriller Bark was huge and could also be coated.

Just like Fish-Man Island, Fish-Man Island could be viewed as an island-ship coated by bubbles.

And given the Thriller Bark's massive size, even if the coating factory Smudge contacted had giant craftsmen, it would still take several months.

Reiju nodded and said:

"I'll follow your lead."

At dusk, Lin Yu piloted the Ark Proverb at low altitude and successfully returned to the Thriller Bark.

Night fell.

As Lin Yu pushed open the bedroom door to rest, he saw Black Maria, dressed in a Japanese oiran outfit, kneeling respectfully before him.

"Welcome, my lord!"

Seeing this, Lin Yu enlarged his body and sat on the large sofa in the bedroom.

Black Maria gave him a seductive look and obediently crawled over.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Meeting-obsessed Brannew ran frantically into the Fleet Admiral's office and said to Sengoku:

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, news has arrived from Sabaody Archipelago: Lin Yu, Red Hair, and Kaido all appeared on the island simultaneously, and a battle occurred."

Red Hair, Kaido?

Upon hearing this, Sengoku was instantly startled and said:

"What happened?"

Brannew said:

"After the three sides clashed for a while, they each departed; these are the photos of the three-way battle sent back by the Marines on Sabaody Archipelago."

Sengoku took the photos and the very first thing he saw was Lin Yu flying high in the sky like a thunder god descending.

Watching the terrifying slashes Lin Yu unleashed and his ability to control lightning, Sengoku narrowed his eyes.

Sengoku suddenly realized he had underestimated Lin Yu's strength a bit before.

Just the slashes that only top-tier swordsmen could unleash, which the other party displayed, along with his terrifying thunder sphere and that Green Lotus Sword capable of clashing with Red Hair's God's Arrow, was enough to prove his strength had reached the level of an Admiral or a Yonko.

Such a person must be watched closely by Sister Tina at all times; he absolutely cannot be allowed to go astray.

Otherwise, he would absolutely bring very terrifying disaster to the people of the world.

Thinking this, Sengoku turned his head and said to Brannew:

"Contact Sister Tina for me; I want to know the specific details of the incident."

Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

The tower where the Five Elders resided.

Hearing the news returned by CP0, the Five Elders were in a very bad mood.

They had just established a department specifically to deal with Lin Yu, only to receive news that he had clashed with Red Hair and Kaido.

However, what shocked them even more was that Lin Yu not only fought Red Hair and Kaido to a standstill but even caused considerable damage to the Red Hair Pirates.

This means Lin Yu's strength has already grown to the level of a Yonko; he is no longer someone their God Knights can casually handle, and they must dispatch an executive.

This brought a small shock to the Five Elders.

It also made them feel it was time to raise the bounty on Lin Yu.

The World Economy News Agency's secret Sky Island.

A reporter's assistant from the newspaper ran into 'Great News' Morgans' office and said excitedly:

"President, great news!"

Morgans sat in his office chair, took a sip of red wine, and said indifferently:

"What exactly happened?"

The assistant hurriedly said:

"Just a short while ago, the God Slayer Lin Yu, Kaido of the Beasts, and Shanks appeared simultaneously on Sabaody Archipelago."

Morgans' eyes snapped open, and he quickly said: "Are Kaido and Shanks preparing to capture Lin Yu to obtain Airship Technology?"

Lin Yu's Airship Technology made even he, Morgans, envious, let alone Kaido and Shanks, these two Yonko.

"I don't know that."

Hearing this, the assistant was stunned, then continued:

"However, the three of them engaged in battle; the scene was magnificent. These are the photos sent back from the scene."

Morgans took the photos and was instantly stunned.

He hadn't expected Lin Yu to hold his own against Kaido and Shanks in battle.

Looking at the terrifying slashes Lin Yu unleashed in the photos, the other's title of Great Swordsman truly lives up to its name.

And he possesses the natural-type Goro Goro no Mi ability. Tsk tsk tsk, this Lin Yu has already come of age; it won't be easy for the World Government to capture him.

In just a few months, his power has grown enough to fight a Yonko; this Lin Yu's rise is truly terrifying.

It seems it won't be long before the New World gains another Emperor of the Sea.

After browsing the photos in his hand, Morgans' mind was filled with countless thoughts.

Then, Morgans quickly spoke:

"Publish this news in the newspaper immediately and release it at once."
