Chapter 377

Hancock was stunned. "Afraid of me?"

In Hancock's view, Lin Yu's strength was already no less than Kaido of the Four Emperors; there was no reason for the other party to fear her.

Lin Yu continued speaking:

"Because your strength is formidable, and your beauty is enough to topple nations and cities. The Mero Mero no Mi is brought to its peak in your hands."

"In front of you, I truly find it hard to resist the temptation of your beauty. You are simply my nemesis, a lecher like me."

Hearing Lin Yu affirm her on both strength and beauty, Hancock asked happily:

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Lin Yu nodded directly.

Seeing Lin Yu so certain, Hancock covered her cheeks and laughed happily.

After being happy for a while, Hancock then asked:

"Why are you telling me this? What do you want to say?"

Lin Yu telling her this was certainly not just to praise her.

Hearing this, Lin Yu smiled:

"What I want to say is, I prefer the you who is self-reliant, proud, confident, and strong."

"So I hope you can be yourself again, instead of being so cautious and timid just now."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Hancock sat up from his embrace, looking at him with a shocked expression. She hadn't expected the other party to be angry just now because of her caution.

Hancock said in astonishment:

"Why?"

Others all hoped to subdue her, the Pirate Empress, to discipline her, to make her a woman who was one hundred percent obedient.

Yet this man in front of her wanted her to be herself again, to be that powerful Empress who relied on her beauty with pride.

"Why?"

Lin Yu laughed, lifted Hancock's small face, and said with a smile:

"I just hope you can be your true self and live for yourself."

"Remember, you are the Empress, the female Emperor of the Amazon Lily Kingdom."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Hancock's heart felt as if struck by something, a sudden flutter.

Then, she tackled Lin Yu, hugging him and kissing him fiercely.

"Lin Yu, I love you the most."

"I like you too, Hancock."

They lingered in the room with Hancock for several more hours.

It was not until noon that the two finally came out of the room.

As soon as they came out, Hancock immediately resumed her usual cold Empress demeanor.

Since Lin Yu preferred her like this, she naturally could not let him down.

Sandersonia, seeing the two who were finally willing to come out of the room, pressed her lips together, approached Hancock, and asked:

"Sister, lunch is ready."

Hancock glanced at Lin Yu beside her, took his arm, and smiled:

"Lin Yu, let's go eat lunch."

"Mm." Lin Yu nodded.

Heading to the dining place inside the palace, Lin Yu began dining together with the three Hancock sisters.

During the meal, Hancock wanted to stuff every dish on the entire table into Lin Yu's bowl, leaving him quite speechless.

Lin Yu was quite speechless, while Sandersonia and Marigold were on the verge of tears.

Because Hancock had directly ordered them to eat only a little bit of vegetables, forcing them to lose weight.

This left the two speechless and tearful. Although they wanted to lose weight and become beautiful, they had always used cultivation to exercise and lose weight; it was healthy and practical, and dieting was completely unnecessary...

Regarding Hancock's behavior, Lin Yu sighed.

I'll teach them slowly in the future...

After the three finished lunch together, Lin Yu asked the three Hancock sisters to take him to the cultivation place inside the palace.

Arriving at the cultivation place, Lin Yu directly chose two of Hancock's abilities.

【Ding! Selection successful. Obtained Boa Hancock's ability: Mero Mero】

【Ding! Selection successful. Obtained Boa Hancock's ability: Peerless Beauty. Others' initial impression favorability increases, others' favorability increase doubles, and abilities related to beauty receive maximum bonuses.】

Hancock's strength had reached the Eight-Star level, allowing Lin Yu to choose two of her abilities.

This way, he could also turn people to stone.

Sandersonia looked at Lin Yu, feeling dazed. She felt Lin Yu seemed to have become much more handsome, while also emitting some kind of charming aura...

However, since Lin Yu was already very handsome, Sandersonia only thought she was having an illusion.

And Hancock, standing beside her, directly asked:

"Lin Yu, you asked us to bring you here. What do you want to do?"

Feeling the curious gazes of the three sisters, Lin Yu smiled: "There is something I want to show you."

After speaking, he smiled gently at Sandersonia.

Seeing Lin Yu smile at her, Sandersonia froze, her face turning slightly red.

The next second, she was petrified by Lin Yu on the spot.

"Tsk, this girl indeed has feelings for me."

Seeing Sandersonia petrified by him, Lin Yu thought with some amusement.

"This..."

Seeing Lin Yu's petrification, Boa Hancock and Marigold were both shocked on the spot.

They couldn't understand at all why Lin Yu had suddenly gained the ability to petrify.

Seeing the two of them shocked, Lin Yu smiled and released Sandersonia's petrification, explaining:

"My petrification ability was obtained from Hancock."

"What do you mean?" The Snake Princess three sisters were stunned simultaneously.

Lin Yu spread his hands and said: "It means that any woman by my side, I can obtain their abilities from them, including Devil Fruit abilities."

Finding or snatching special crew members and forming bonds with them is the way Lin Yu obtains others' abilities or Devil Fruit abilities.

Sandersonia exclaimed: "Is this why you're able to use multiple Devil Fruit abilities?"

And Hancock said: "Is this why you're building a harem???"

Hancock was still a little bothered by the women around Lin Yu.

But if Lin Yu's ability really was like this, then she couldn't really say anything, because the more women around Lin Yu, the stronger he would be.

Lin Yu nodded and said: "Right, not only that, I also have a special ability that can quickly enhance my crew members' strength."

By saying this, he actually wanted to tell Hancock that he could make her stronger.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Sandersonia and Marigold asked simultaneously:

"Can we board your ship with you?"

They also wanted to quickly enhance their own strength.

Lin Yu glanced at the two of them and shook his head mercilessly.

"No!"
