Chapter 365

Runti and Sumugi also remained aboard the Thriller Bark, training with Ma Erke and Qiao Zhe in the alternate dimension to accelerate their strength and strive to defeat them soon.

Vivi also stayed aboard the Thriller Bark as Sumugi and Runti's supervisor, since only when Sumugi defeated Ma Erke could she obtain his Mythical Zoan fruit.

Lin Yu boarded the Shennu and arrived at Shedao with a few others, preparing to recruit new crewmembers.

Because in the original story, Straw Hat Luffy appeared on Shedao, several plot characters reside there.

Of course, Lin Yu's goals this time were only three.

The blonde girl Marguerite, the National Guard Captain Kikyo, and the National Guard Long Dan.

As for Bo Ya Hankuk, Lin Yu had no confidence he could win her over now; if he could, so be it, if not, he would have to wait patiently.

As for her two sisters, Lin Yu had no thoughts about them for now.

Lin Yu Already no longer needed to resort to any means to strengthen himself as he once did; he now had more options.

Using Conqueror's Haki to scare off several sea kings that came to disrupt, Lin Yu successfully piloted the Shennu to the shore of Shedao.

"Aifolan Dela, go notify Bo Ya Hankuk that I've arrived."

After mooring the Shennu, Lin Yu instructed Aifolan Dela.

"Understood," Aifolan Dela promised, leaping off the Shennu to swiftly notify Bo Ya Hankuk.

Seeing Aifolan Dela leave, Lin Yu went to Luo Bin and Sister Tina, picked each up in one arm, and carried them into his room.

"Erm... isn't this too improper in broad daylight?" Sister Tina's face flushed crimson.

Luo Bin also gritted her teeth: "Lin Yu, you're about to meet Bo Ya Hankuk."

In broad daylight, this was truly too embarrassing.

Lin Yu smiled: "Precisely because I'm going to meet her, I need your help—you'll have to give it your all later."

Bo Ya Hankuk's ability strongly counters him, so Lin Yu prepared his own countermeasure.

And his countermeasure was—

—Sage Time!

Sage Time was a state of complete detachment from desire, where the mind reached the realm of "I am emptiness, emptiness is I," calm and serene like a sage.

As the saying goes: "Before, lustful as a demon; after, saintly as a Buddha," this was exactly the situation.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Sister Tina and Luo Bin's faces flushed red again.

"Tch, so shameless in broad daylight."

Nami, seeing Lin Yu drag away Luo Bin, smirked.

The next second, a rope dropped down, grabbed her, and pulled her into Lin Yu's room.

The palace of the Pirate Empress Bo Ya Hankuk.

Sandasonia pushed open the door to Hankuk's bedroom, holding a newspaper, and rushed in to say to Hankuk, who had just woken up:

"Sister, come look at this."

Saying this, Sandasonia handed the newspaper to Bo Ya Hankuk.

"What is it?"

Hankuk took the newspaper and opened it to read.

Seeing the headline "Battle of the Three Emperors," Bo Ya Hankuk raised an eyebrow.

Only when she saw Lin Yu's figure in the sky, like a thunder god descending, did she frown and read carefully.

She wanted to see what Lin Yu, who had just appeared in the Marineford War, had done now.

"Lin Yu, Red-Haired, and Kaido clashed on the Sabaody Archipelago... Red-Haired Pirates were driven into chaotic retreat by Lin Yu allied with Kaido... ships Severely Damaged..."

"Suspected Natural Logia: Gura Gura no Mi..."

"Lin Yu may become the new Emperor of the Sea..."

Seeing the newspaper's information, Bo Ya Hankuk was instantly stunned.

Lin Yu's strength must already surpass hers!!!

As she read on, Bo Ya Hankuk flipped the paper to the back and saw another small article.

"Slave auction site at Sabaody Archipelago No. 1 Red Tree destroyed; all staff and auction participants killed, slaves fully rescued; the scene scattered with massive lightning marks, suspected to be the work of the Godslayer Lin Yu."

Seeing this news, Bo Ya Hankuk held her breath.

By instinct, she knew this was definitely Lin Yu's doing!!!

Recalling Lin Yu Once killing a Celestial Dragon, Bo Ya Hankuk clenched her teeth.

Why on earth does this man do these things!!!

Seeing her sister's expression, Sandasonia pulled out a stack of bounties from her chest and said:

"Sister, these are Lin Yu's latest bounties..."

Hearing this, Bo Ya Hankuk snatched the stack of bounty posters from Sandasonia and examined them closely.

At the top of the stack was Lin Yu's handsome face.

His bounty had risen from 1.5 billion Berries to 3.01 billion Berries.

A 3-billion-Berry bounty meant the World Government or Marines now regarded Lin Yu as possessing the power to become a Yonko.

Moving aside Lin Yu's bounty poster, Sumugi's photo appeared before Bo Ya Hankuk.

Xia Luote Sumugi, former Warlord of the Big Mom Pirates, current bounty 1.34 billion Berries.

Miss Wednesday, former Baroque Works member, current bounty 1 billion Berries.

Runti, former Flying Six of the Beasts Pirates, current bounty 567 million Berries.

Nico Robin, Demon Child, survivor of Ohara, bounty 268 million Berries.

Nami, bounty...

Seeing these skyrocketing bounties, Bo Ya Hankuk frowned.

The bounties on the young girls who had once appeared by Lin Yu's side had all surged consecutively; among them, one named Miss Wednesday had even reached a bounty of one billion, ranking first in the increase.

And Smoothie's 1.3 billion—that was already the level of an Admiral.

In other words, not only had Lin Yu himself reached the standard of a Yonko, but the women under his command were also all powerful, possessing the caliber to become top officers of a Yonko crew.

This situation indicated that once Lin Yu seized a territory in the New World, he would replace Bai Huzi and immediately ascend to become a Yonko of the New World!

Just as Boa Hancock was looking at the wanted poster, Marygold brought Euphemia into the room and said:

"Sister, Lin Yu Already arrived at Nine Snake Island; he is currently docking at the eastern coast."

"What should we do next?"

Boa Hancock glanced at Euphemia, frowned, and said:

"Why hasn't Lin Yu come to see me?"

She felt as though Lin Yu was deliberately avoiding her.

During the Summit War, the other party had done the same.

Euphemia felt a natural fear toward Boa Hancock and whispered:

"Lin Yu asked My Lord to prepare in advance, then notify him so he can quickly resolve My Lord's troubles."

After speaking, Euphemia dared to glance at Boa Hancock.

She was very curious about what troubles My Lord Hancock had that required Lin Yu to resolve them.

Upon hearing this, Boa Hancock gritted her teeth and ordered Sandersonia:

"Declare martial law nationwide; prepare for the bath."
