Chapter 371: Tashigi, the Nemesis of Swordsmen

~7 min read 1,288 words

The Devil Fruit can allow Tashigi to rapidly strengthen her power, and she still feels a bit of longing for it.

It's just that she doesn't know what kind of Devil Fruit Lin Yu is preparing to feed her.

Hearing that Lin Yu was preparing to feed someone a Devil Fruit, Kikyo, Margaret, and Long Dan, who had just chosen a room and come to the deck, instantly perked up, all focusing their attention on Lin Yu.

Lin Yu sat up from the lounge chair, took a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit out of his spatial dimension.

This Devil Fruit was precisely the Bara Bara no Mi, the one belonging to the Emperor Clown Buggy, the bearer of Conqueror's Haki luck in the original story.

The Bara Bara no Mi grants immunity to slashing attacks.

It was precisely because of this characteristic that the Clown did not fear Hawk-Eye during the Summit War.

And feeding the Bara Bara no Mi, which can grant immunity to slashing attacks, to Tashigi, who aspires to become a Swordsman, was an idea Lin Yu had thought of long ago.

Just imagine such a scene.

When you are fighting against a certain Swordsman, and the opponent, having finally seized your opening, uses a slashing skill to cut you in half, yet you seize the opponent's recovery time after casting the skill and strike them, injuring them.

Then, acting as if nothing happened, you say to him: "Sorry, I am immune to slashing attacks."

In this way, Lin Yu estimated, the opponent would probably be half-dead from anger.

And this fighting style, just thinking about it, Lin Yu felt was extremely sinister.

It was precisely because of this idea that Lin Yu wanted to feed Tashigi the Bara Bara no Mi capable of granting immunity to slashing attacks, letting her fight against the Swordsmen and become the Swordsman's Nemesis.

And for the cute and clumsy Tashigi to use such a sinister method of victory, this contrast, just thinking about it, Lin Yu felt was very interesting.

Lin Yu sat on the chair, peeled open the Bara Bara no Mi, cut off a small piece, placed it in his hand, looked at Tashigi, and smiled:

"Come, eat it."

Tashigi pressed her lips together, came to Lin Yu's feet, knelt there, and then, with a red face, ate the Devil Fruit from Lin Yu's hand.

"Ugh!!!"

"This is too disgusting..."

Tashigi covered her mouth, feeling a wave of nausea.

"All Devil Fruits taste this bad. If you want to gain power, you must endure this," Shalria explained behind Lin Yu.

Anna licked her lips; the Devil Fruit felt okay to her.

Lin Yu looked at Tashigi's distressed expression, smiled, continued to cut off another small piece, and said: "This fruit can grant you immunity to slashing attacks; you must cherish it well."

Seeing the Devil Fruit offered again, Tashigi closed her eyes and took it into her mouth once more.

Then came another wave of nausea.

However, she ultimately forced herself to swallow it.

Thinking about what Lin Yu said, that this fruit could grant her immunity to slashing attacks.

Tashigi voluntarily took the Devil Fruit from Lin Yu's hand into her mouth and swallowed it again.

She wanted to become stronger! Only in this way could she carry out the justice in her heart.

Repeating this to herself over and over, Tashigi, while being fed by Lin Yu, felt nauseous, and then forced herself to swallow it again.

On the Shen Nu, seeing Tashigi being fed the Devil Fruit piece by piece by Lin Yu, as if undergoing torture, the National Guardian Warrior Kikyo exclaimed in shock:

"Does this Lin Yu have some strange hobby?"

Lin Yu's method of feeding, if it wasn't intentional, Kikyo simply didn't believe it.

"What do you mean?" Margaret and Long Dan asked simultaneously.

The innocent ones simply couldn't understand what Kikyo was saying; they were just somewhat envious of Tashigi being fed the Devil Fruit.

Because they also hoped to become strong like Efrandela.

"Uh..."

Kikyo's expression stiffened; she waved her hand and said: "Nothing."

Before long, Lin Yu had fed all the Devil Fruit in his hand to Tashigi.

Then, he patted Tashigi's pale, beautiful face and smiled:

"You adapt to the ability first, then continue trying Armament Haki... Hmm, I'll send someone to teach you."

"Okay, okay... Ugh." Tashigi slumped at Lin Yu's feet, still feeling somewhat nauseous.

And Lin Yu then spoke to Kikyo on the Shen Nu:

"Kikyo, from now on, you will guide Tashigi in cultivating Armament Haki."

Kikyo is the captain of the National Guardian Warriors of Amazon Lily and also a new recruit instructor; in the absence of Reiju, she is naturally the best candidate to teach Tashigi Armament Haki.

"Good."

Kikyo jumped directly off the Shen Nu, walked to Tashigi's front, and said: "Come with me to the side to cultivate."

Then, Kikyo glanced at Margaret and Long Dan and said: "You two come with me too!"

Teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching, so Kikyo planned to take Margaret and Long Dan away as well.

"Oh." Margaret and Long Dan responded, following behind Tashigi.

Seeing Kikyo and the others leave, Shalria massaged Lin Yu's shoulders and asked: "Young Master, aren't we leaving?"

Lin Yu enjoyed Shalria's service and said:

"Sandersonia is preparing a banquet to thank me; I plan to attend."

He plans to bring Amazon Lily under his command in the future, so Lin Yu intends to use this banquet opportunity to get closer to the Boa Hancock sisters.

Then, Lin Yu asked again: "By the way, have Nami, Luo Bin, and the others not woken up yet?"

Anna massaged Lin Yu's legs and replied: "No."

"Haa~"

Lin Yu yawned, "Then I'll sleep a bit too; wake me up after Nami, Luo Bin, and the others wake up."

Today, using the Wind Power to sail the Shen Nu through the Calm Belt for most of the day, and then messing around with Sister Tina, Nami, and the others for several hours, had left Lin Yu somewhat exhausted.

As Lin Yu fell asleep, time quickly passed until evening.

However, Lin Yu did not wait for Sandersonia's banquet invitation; instead, he waited for her plea for help.

Lin Yu sat up from the lounge chair, looking at Sandersonia before him with a strange expression, and confirmed very seriously:

"You say your sister fell ill after I treated her?"

"Yes, so I want to ask you to go take another look." Sandersonia knelt before Lin Yu, speaking anxiously.

Hearing this, Lin Yu asked with an eerie expression:

"Can you tell me about Hancock's symptoms of illness?"

Sandersonia stated truthfully: "Her whole body is burning hot, she is weak, and she is accompanied by coma and fainting..."

Hearing Sandersonia's words, Lin Yu's face became even more eerie.

Regarding the symptoms Sandersonia described, Lin Yu naturally immediately knew that Boa Hancock had fallen ill with lovesickness...

This girl, Hancock, is hard to get close to; indeed, she is truly hard to get close to. However, once you open her heart, she will treat you incredibly well and fall head over heels for you.

What is such a type of woman called again?

While his mind was in a chaotic jumble thinking these things, Lin Yu stood up, looked at Sandersonia, and said with righteous conviction:

"Since your sister Boa Hancock fell ill because of me, then I naturally have no choice but to accept the responsibility."

"Let's go; we will find your sister right now to help her... alleviate her condition."

Having finished speaking, Lin Yu grabbed Sandersonia and surged toward the palace of the Nine Snakes City as a flash of Lei Guang.
