Chapter 39: Nokihga

Kokosia Village.

"Uncle Jian, I'm leaving the oranges here."

Nokihga, with her blue hair and voluptuous figure, placed a basket of oranges at Jian's doorstep and shouted inside.

"I got it."

Jian was carefully scanning the newspaper for news about Straw Hat Luffy, hoping to find any mention of Nami.

Hearing Nokihga's voice, he waved his hand in acknowledgment.

Seeing Jian's demeanor, Nokihga smiled.

To her and Nami, Jian was like a father.

"These oranges have a tempting color. The flesh is plump."

"Just like Young Lady Nokihga."

Lin Yu picked up an orange from the basket, tasted it, and smiled at Nokihga.

"Who are you two?"

Nokihga was startled by Lin Yu's sudden appearance and stepped back repeatedly.

Seeing Anna behind Lin Yu dressed in a maid's dress, and Shalurya, also dressed in a maid's dress but wearing a special necklace, Nokihga grew slightly wary.

Kokosia Village has no such faces.

"Bastard, what are you doing to Nokihga?"

Hearing Nokihga's cry, Jian rushed out of the house with a stick.

Anna stepped forward from behind Lin Yu, seized the stick from Jian's hand, twisted his arms behind his back, and pinned him against the wall.

With her One-Star physical attributes, handling an ordinary man like Jian was effortless.

"Uncle Jian!"

Seeing Jian restrained, Nokihga cried out and tried to rush over to help, but Lin Yu grabbed her and held her in place.

"Y-You're the Godslayer Lin Yu?"

Pressed against the wall, Jian stared at Lin Yu's face in shock.

The news that the Godslayer Lin Yu had killed a Celestial Dragon noble in the Killing World had spread across the globe—even this small village of Kokosia had heard of it.

Jian never expected the man to have arrived in the East Blue.

And come to Kokosia, this tiny village.

Then Jian turned his gaze to Shalurya, the woman behind Lin Yu wearing the special necklace.
