Chapter 375

Because Lin Yu, the main guest of the banquet, had matters to attend to, Sondra Sonya canceled tonight's thank-you banquet and simultaneously sent word to Luo Bin and others aboard the God Slave.

Hearing the news that Lin Yu would not return tonight, Nami, Luo Bin, and others exchanged smiles and said nothing.

However, they knew that Boa Hancock would probably become their sister as well.

They just didn't know whether this Pirate Empress, the Emperor of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, would board the ship like them.

Even though many years had passed.

Hancock made herself a powerful Warlord of the Sea, a world-renowned Pirate Empress, and used cold, arrogant behavior to wrap herself in thick armor.

But deep in her memory, she still remembered the miserable fate of being enslaved by the Celestial Dragons, and she would occasionally have nightmares.

Seeing those demons wearing spherical air shields appear before her eyes again, Boa Hancock knew she was having a nightmare again, and she began to concentrate, forcing herself to wake up from the nightmare.

However, just as the nightmare had begun, a pitch-black figure appeared beside her and smiled at her, saying:

"I will kill all the Celestial Dragons."

As soon as the black shadow finished speaking, those Celestial Dragons in Hancock's dream all vanished with screams of agony.

Then, Hancock woke up.

At this moment, the outside of the window was pitch black, moonlight spilled through the window, casting a silver-white glow on the floor.

The sleeping Lin Yu sensed something unusual beside him, propped up his head, and asked groggily:

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Hancock nodded gently, "Mm."

In the darkness, Lin Yu touched Hancock's cold body, pulled the quilt over her, wrapped her tightly in his arms, and mumbled sleepily:

"I'm here."

After saying that, he fell back into deep sleep.

Feeling her body wrapped tightly in warmth, Hancock smiled.

At this moment, the Lin Yu before her eyes merged with the black shadow in her dream into one.

Leaning in Lin Yu's embrace, Hancock closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

She would never fear those demons again.

The next morning.

Lin Yu sat up from the bed and let out a yawn.

Looking beside him, he then discovered that Hancock had already gotten up and was sitting at the dressing table with her back to him, grooming herself.

Seeing Hancock's nearly perfect back, Lin Yu thought of the fierce battle between the two of them last night and grinned.

Boa Hancock is really smooth!!!

Hancock, who was happily humming a tune while grooming herself, sensed someone watching her, turned around, and then discovered that Lin Yu had already woken up.

Hancock blinked her eyes, dove straight over, and threw herself into Lin Yu's arms.

"Lin Yu!"

"Uh..."

Because her movement was so exaggerated, it actually startled Lin Yu; sparks of lightning erupted from his fingertips, and he instinctively assumed a defensive posture.

Hancock's right hand, coated with Armament Haki, pinched Lin Yu's fingers, extinguishing the lightning at his fingertips, then pressed her face against his, rubbing back and forth, and said shyly:

"Lin Yu, are you hungry? Should this concubine have someone prepare breakfast?"

"What do you like to eat in the morning? Sea beast meat? Wild beast meat? Or something else?"

"Mm, perhaps this concubine should prepare it personally."

"The loving breakfast on the first day of marriage should indeed be prepared by the wife personally."

After saying this to herself, Hancock began to prepare, going personally to make breakfast for Lin Yu.

Hearing Hancock's question after question, Lin Yu was stunned.

To be honest, he still preferred the Hancock who was cold during the day yesterday and warm at night.

Afterwards, he directly pulled Hancock, who was getting ready, and smiled, saying:

"These things are not urgent; I plan to do something else first."

Pulled by Lin Yu, Hancock fell into his arms, blushed shyly, covered her cheeks, and said:

"Could it be that you plan to eat... me first?"

Lin Yu was stunned, then smiled:

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

Hancock was stunned.

"Join your pirate crew?"

Lin Yu smiled: "This is the joining ceremony, just like a wedding ceremony."

Wedding???

Hearing the two words "wedding," Hancock's pretty face turned red, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Mm, mm, mm, I am willing."

【Ding! Boa Hancock has joined the crew; please select Hancock's crew position】

【Combatant】

【Ding! Successfully formed a bond with Boa Hancock; you may select one of her abilities at any time】

【Ding! Boa Hancock's strength has reached eight stars; you may additionally select one of her abilities】

【Ding! Hancock's friendship level has reached 100... reward benefits doubled】

Seeing the prompt before his eyes, Lin Yu smiled.

Then, she opened Hancock's information panel.

【Name: Boa Hancock】

【Identity: Empress】

【Specialty: None】

【Talent: Peerless Beauty】

【Affinity: 100】

【Peerless Beauty: Possesses top-tier beauty that surpasses the current age, making it very easy to gain others' favor; grants the highest bonus to abilities that rely on beauty】

Seeing that the system also rated Hancock as having only Eight-Star Combat Power, Lin Yu let out a sigh.

Without reaching the General-Emperor tier, one remains an ant.

Although Hancock is the most powerful female pirate aside from Big Mom, and she has pushed the Mero Mero no Mi's abilities to their absolute limit, there is still a gap between her and the Nine-Star General-Emperor level.

Just like Magellan; although his attack power fully reached the Admiral level and he chased down several Warlords of the Sea by himself, his Body Technique was too poor and his shortcomings too obvious, so the system also rated him as only Eight Stars.

Eight Stars, the level of an elite Navy Vice Admiral—truly a tier with both a high ceiling and a low floor.
