Chapter 38

"Hehe~~"

Seeing Lin Yu’s expression, Nojiko chuckled; she had achieved the effect she wanted.

The colors on her clothes were painted by Marianne herself, possessing a charming effect that could amplify Lin Yu’s primal desires.

Next, Nojiko began to twist her waist according to the Alabasta dance she had learned, spinning gently, and from time to time came to Lin Yu’s side to tease him.

Damn!

Which old cadre could withstand such a test?

Lin Yu couldn't take it after being teased a few times and directly activated the hungry wolf pouncing skill.

"Do you really want to eat this Devil Fruit?"

The storm subsided, and Lin Yu sat in the chair holding a Devil Fruit, looking at Nojiko and smiling.

"Hmm, I want to become stronger quickly."

Nojiko sat on the carpet at Lin Yu’s feet and nodded without hesitation.

"Alright then."

"Open your mouth."

Lin Yu cut off a small piece of the Devil Fruit and handed it to Nojiko.

Nojiko caught it with her mouth, instantly frowned, and covered her mouth.

"Woo...... it tastes so bad."

She had heard long ago that Devil Fruits tasted bad, but she didn't expect it to be this bad.

"You have to eat it all, you know."

Lin Yu looked at Nojiko’s expression, which was like she was undergoing torture, and smiled with a wicked sense of humor.

Nojiko heard this, her face fell, and she endured the nausea, eating another small piece of the Devil Fruit Lin Yu handed over.

If it wasn't to become stronger, she wouldn't eat such a disgusting thing.

"Finally finished."

After eating the Devil Fruit, Nojiko let out a sigh of relief instantly.

Lin Yu saw Nojiko’s expression and smiled.

Forcing Nojiko to finish the Devil Fruit, besides his wicked sense of humor, was also to increase the other party’s friendliness.

During the time Nojiko was eating the Devil Fruit, her friendliness toward him had soared quite a bit.

Cupping Nojiko’s pretty face, Lin Yu smiled:

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

"Didn't I already join your pirate crew long ago?"

Nojiko was stunned.

Lin Yu smiled, "This is called a sense of ritual, just like a wedding vow, asking you if you are willing to marry me."

Marry......

Nojiko heard Lin Yu’s words, instantly blushed, and nodded coyly:

"I do."

Whether Nojiko’s nod meant she was willing to be Lin Yu’s subordinate or willing to be Lin Yu’s bride, only she knew.

[Ding! Nojiko has joined the crew, please select Nojiko’s crew position.]

[Ding! Successfully formed a bond with Nojiko, obtained the opponent’s ability: Bomb-Bomb Human.]

[Ding! Nojiko’s friendliness has reached 100, the other party will be forever loyal to you, feedback experience doubled.]

[Ding......]

Seeing the several notifications appearing in front of him, Lin Yu laughed.

Nojiko joining the crew not only let him obtain the Bomb-Bomb Fruit ability but also directly maxed out her friendliness, maximizing the feedback benefits, which could be considered quite a harvest.

"Combatant."

Nojiko was bold, enthusiastic, and daring, very suitable for the position of combatant.

And the Bomb-Bomb Fruit ability, if not used as a combatant, would really be a pity.

"You rest here tonight."

"I'm going to the prison to see those people."

Carrying Nojiko to the bed in the inner room of his captain’s cabin, Lin Yu touched her pretty face and said.

It was already late at night, and it was time to rest.

"Hmm."

Covering herself with the quilt, leaving only her eyes outside, Nojiko nodded obediently upon hearing this.

Bearing the firepower all by herself, she was really exhausted.

"Good night."

Kissing Nojiko on the forehead, Lin Yu turned off the light and left.

"Marry..."

Nojiko touched the spot on her forehead where she had been kissed, feeling a burst of secret joy, rolling around on Lin Yu’s bed excitedly.

She tossed and turned for half an hour before she couldn't resist the oncoming sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

*Shennu* prison level.

The *Shennu*’s prison was converted from rooms on one level, each room having a cage that occupied half the room and was mixed with Sea-Prism Stone.

Lin Yu opened a prison room and saw Miss Valentine, who was locked in the cage inside.

Among the several women of Baroque Works, the one Lin Yu liked the most was Valentine.

Beautiful face, tall figure, and if the Kilo-Kilo Fruit ability was developed well, it also had great potential.

The opponent’s "Ya-ha-ha-ha-ha" laughter was also really very demonic.

Moreover, arrogant, conceited, and proud, she was really very suitable for Lin Yu to train.

Miss Valentine saw Lin Yu, kicked the cage, and said gritting her teeth:

"You bastard, let me out right now!" ===== CHAPTER 76 =====

Hearing Valentine’s extremely arrogant words, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, and an iron chain inside the cage automatically floated into the air.

Snap!

The floating iron chain whipped onto Valentine’s back, leaving a chain whip mark.

"Ah!"

Valentine screamed from the sudden attack and fell to the ground.

Valentine touched the scar on her back, looked at Lin Yu, and said hatefully:

"You bastard!"

Lin Yu’s whipping not only didn't make Valentine bow her head, but instead made her even more angry.

Snap!

The iron chain swung, leaving another whip mark on Valentine’s back.

"You son of a bitch!"

Valentine gritted her teeth, clenched her fingers, and cursed at Lin Yu.

She’s a tough nut!

Lin Yu looked at Valentine’s angry expression and smiled.

He liked tough nuts!

And Valentine, who had a pretty face, a good figure, high potential, and a tough bone, naturally made him like her even more.

[Name: Valentine]

[Identity: Former Baroque Works member]

[Special Skill: None]

[Talent: None]

[Friendliness: -50] ===== CHAPTER 77 =====

[Combat Power: Two Stars]

[Devil Fruit Ability: Kilo-Kilo Fruit]

Glancing at Valentine’s information, Lin Yu sat in the chair in the room and looked her over properly.

Must say, Valentine was outstanding in both appearance and figure, not much worse than Nami or Robin.

Lin Yu looked at the opponent while thinking about how to make Valentine submit.

Valentine was arrogant, conceited, and very haughty.

It was impossible to make such a person submit with tough methods.

However, arrogant and conceited people generally had a weakness.

That was, such people generally couldn't tolerate being despised or looked down upon by others, and even less could they accept being belittled as worthless.

Soon, Lin Yu had already thought of a way to train Valentine.

"Miss Valentine, Kilo-Kilo Fruit user, bounty 7.5 million Berries."

"A high-ranking officer of Baroque Works, with powerful strength."

"I'm not wrong about these, am I?"

Lin Yu looked at Valentine and said with a smile.

"Hmph!"

"Since you know I have powerful strength, then hurry up and let me out."

Valentine twisted her neck, lifted her chin, and snorted coldly, extremely conceited.

Seeing Valentine, whose tail was almost in the sky, Lin Yu continued to smile:

"I heard you were taken down by Reiju in one move."

Valentine heard this, her expression stiffened, and she looked at Lin Yu and said:

"I was sneak-attacked by her, do you understand sneak attack?"

Lin Yu continued to smile:

"At that time, you ran away at the first opportunity, didn't you."

Valentine heard this and was instantly enraged, grabbing the bars and roaring:

"I was going to call for reinforcements, do you understand calling for reinforcements?"

Valentine was preparing to go call the mole woman and the baseball man to help at the time, not running away at all, so she was so angry when she heard Lin Yu’s words.

"Anyway, Reiju told me that you ran away directly at that time, leaving Goldenweek, a little girl, there as bait."

Lin Yu clicked his tongue at Valentine, looking at her with disgust.

As if the other party was really a piece of trash who used a companion as bait to make it convenient for herself to escape alone.

Seeing the look in Lin Yu’s eyes as if he were looking at trash, Valentine was so angry that her teeth itched, and she roared while hitting the cage.

"You let me out, I'm going to kill that stinky woman who talked nonsense."

"I didn't run away!"

Lin Yu shook his head with extreme disdain, clicking his tongue and holding up a finger.

"One move!"

His meaning was very clear, that is, you trash who was taken down by Reiju in one move, how are you going to kill her.

"You......"

Valentine heard this, her whole body couldn't stop trembling, and her eyes turned red immediately.

Obviously, she was not lightly angered by Lin Yu’s words!

Looking at Valentine, who was gritting her teeth, her lips trembling slightly, and was not lightly angered.

Lin Yu was even afraid that the other party would be angered into something bad.

Therefore, he continued:

"You might as well give up on that idea."

"Even if I let you out, you couldn't possibly beat Reiju."

"You can't even beat the two little maids I have with me."

Hearing that she was belittled by the other party as not even as good as a maid, Valentine couldn't take it anymore.

It was one thing that she couldn't beat that woman named Reiju, how could she not beat the other party’s two little maids.

Therefore, Valentine stared at Lin Yu and said with a ferocious face:

"If you have the guts, let those two little maids of yours try, and see how I beat them to death."

Lin Yu shook his head and said:

"Although the two of them have only been receiving my training for a little over a month, beating you is still not a problem."

In Lin Yu’s view, Valentine could only simply use the Kilo-Kilo Fruit now and couldn't unleash the true power of this Devil Fruit at all; facing Anna and Charlos, who were also two-star combat power, she had absolutely no chance of winning.

What’s more, Anna and Charlos had exclusive combat suits and weren't afraid of Valentine flying at all.

Hearing Lin Yu say that his little maids could beat her after only one month of training, Valentine became even more angry, shaking the cage and shouting:

"Then let's have a fight."

Lin Yu spread his hands indifferently, looking at Valentine and saying:

"What if you lose?"

Valentine said angrily: "If I lose, I'll do whatever you want."

Angry, she was only thinking about how to wash away the shame now and didn't think about these other things at all.

"Alright, if you lose, you have to listen to me from now on, and I'll tell you to do whatever you do."

"If you win, I'll let you go and have Reiju apologize to you."

"How about it?"

Lin Yu looked at Valentine and said his conditions with a smile.

Valentine slapped the cage and said angrily:

"It's a deal!"

Half an hour later.

In the sea with the bright moon hanging high.

A duel was taking place on the deck of the *Shennu*.

Charlos looked at Valentine opposite her, eager to try.

Behind her, Anna looked annoyed, regretting that she hadn't been able to snatch this opportunity to perform in front of Lin Yu.

On the other side, Valentine looked at the backless maid dress on Charlos and the special necklace on her neck, and smiled contemptuously.

"Ya-ha-ha-ha, this necklace of yours is quite chic."

Anna and Charlos raised their eyebrows upon hearing Valentine’s mocking tone.

"What, are you envious?"

Anna said, not feeling ashamed but proud.

These two women must be crazy!

Valentine thought in astonishment upon hearing Anna’s words.

"Alright, let's start."

Lin Yu looked at the three of them and directly announced the start of the duel.

Because it was late at night, Kaya and the others were still sleeping, so only he, Anna, Charlos, and Valentine were on the scene.

"Hmph!"

"Watch how I deal with you."

Valentine jumped high, used the Kilo-Kilo Fruit to fly into mid-air, and prepared to use a 10,000-kilo press.

Seeing Valentine flying into mid-air, Charlos curled her lips.

Next, her maid dress fluttered, airflow sprayed from under her feet, and she used the combat suit’s tech shoes to quickly fly behind Valentine.

Valentine was suddenly startled and said in astonishment:

"How how can you fly too?" ===== CHAPTER 78 =====
