Chapter 43: Pirate Crew Upgrade

"Why did you blow up the palace!"

On the *Shennu*, Princess Vivi looked at Lin Yu angrily.

She had clearly already agreed to follow Lin Yu, yet he still blew up the Alabasta Palace.

In Vivi's view, this was untrustworthy.

Lin Yu put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at the slightly angry Vivi, and smiled:

"Do you hope the World Government knows you came on my ship voluntarily?"

"This is actually for your and Alabasta's sake; it didn't hurt anyone anyway."

"In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, you were abducted by me and were forced. Whatever I do in the future will have nothing to do with you or Alabasta."

"You can also take the opportunity to attack the World Government and hold them accountable in turn. I believe your father should be able to think of this."

Vivi pursed her lips upon hearing this, "It seems Sister Makino was right; you really are a decent person."

Because Makino brought many things for Vivi from Cobra, Vivi liked this understanding big sister very much.

Well, Lin Yu also liked the 'understanding' Makino very much.

Glancing at Vivi's information, Lin Yu found that Vivi's friendliness toward him had increased by twenty points just now.

"Are you sure you want to continue discussing these things with me now?"

Putting down the wine glass, Lin Yu looked at Vivi and smiled.

It was late at night, and Vivi had already been washed clean by Anna and Charlos, dressed in alluring clothes, and sent to his room.

In Charlos's words: This is the custom for boarding the ship!

Hearing this, Princess Vivi's pretty face turned red instantly, and she became somewhat flustered.

After boarding the ship, she learned from Anna and Charlos what was about to happen, which made her very terrified.

At the same time, she also learned that Lin Yu's purpose in going to Alabasta was for her.

If she had known it would be like this, she should have left with the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Why, why did you take a fancy to me?"

"You clearly already have many... many confidantes around you."

Vivi felt Lin Yu's aggressive gaze and asked anxiously.

Lin Yu smiled, lifted Vivi's chin with his finger, and smiled:

"If you knew this secret of mine, you would really have to follow me for the rest of your life."

Vivi glared at Lin Yu and scolded:

"It's as if I wouldn't know this secret, you would let me go."

Vivi could clearly feel how strong Lin Yu's desire for her was.

"That's also true, haha."

Lin Yu laughed dumbly, looked at Vivi, and said: "Since that's the case, I'll demonstrate it for you."

After speaking, Lin Yu's body floated up in front of Vivi's shocked expression.

"This is Miss Valentine's Light-Heavy ability."

Then, Lin Yu took a small toy from the void.

"This is Makino's Storage Box ability."

Subsequently, Lin Yu summoned a breeze around him.

"This is Reiju's Bloodline Factor superpower."

Finally, Lin Yu exhaled, blowing up the lit candle in the room.

"This is Nojiko's Explosion ability."

After doing this, Lin Yu hugged the dumbfounded Vivi and smiled:

"Now you know why I did this, right?"

Vivi saw the Devil Fruit abilities Lin Yu kept displaying and was shocked in her heart. Hearing the other party's words, she reacted and spoke in astonishment:

"Why haven't you exploded after obtaining so many Devil Fruit abilities?"

According to rumors, a person who eats two Devil Fruits will explode and die.

Reaching out and rubbing Vivi's red lips, Lin Yu smiled:

"Because I didn't eat the Devil Fruits directly, so naturally I won't die. Instead, I can obtain abilities from Makino and the others."

"Just like I will obtain an ability from you later."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yu picked up Vivi.

"I, I don't have any special abilities..." Vivi's body stiffened, making a final struggle.

Lin Yu smiled, "Vivi, you are special. Even if you don't have an ability, I won't let you go."

Hearing this, Vivi's face fell; she had no idea what was special about her.

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

Looking at the somewhat frightened Vivi, Lin Yu issued an invitation to her.

Although she didn't know why Lin Yu still had to ask this, Vivi knew that the matter was unavoidable, so she closed her eyes and nodded.

"I am willing."

[Ding! Nefertari Vivi has joined the pirate crew and automatically becomes the ship doctor.]

[Ding! The pirate crew meets the upgrade requirements and is upgrading...]

[Ding! The pirate crew has successfully upgraded to a Level 2 Pirate Crew. More positions and special positions are now open...]

[Ding...]

Seeing the prompts appearing one after another, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh. Then, he looked at Princess Vivi in his arms.

"Come, I'll teach you swordsmanship."

"I, I'm a little scared..."

"That's why I want to teach you swordsmanship."

"..."

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Bang!

"That bastard Lin Yu actually abducted another princess."

"And it's the princess of Alabasta."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku hung up the phone, punched the desk, and cursed angrily.

Alabasta was not only a member country of the World Government, but its royal Nefertari family was also one of the twenty royal families that founded the World Government eight hundred years ago.

Even the Five Elders of the World Government had to give face to what Nefertari Cobra said.

So after learning that Princess Vivi had been abducted by that bastard Lin Yu, the Five Elders called immediately to reprimand Sengoku, saying he was simply trash.

At the same time, they told Sengoku to quickly find a way to intercept Lin Yu on his route.

The World Government would also send the strongest CP0 members to assist, determined to bring Lin Yu to justice.

Drinking a cup of tea angrily, Sengoku said to Brandnew, who was standing by:

"Go contact Akainu and Garp, tell them Lin Yu's trail has been found, and have them hurry to Water 7."

Water 7 was a must-pass place on the route from Alabasta; Lin Yu would likely appear there next.

With the strong combination of Admiral Akainu and Fist Garp, let alone a great swordsman like Lin Yu, even the world's strongest Whitebeard would have to drink hatred and end up defeated.

"Yes, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

Hearing that Admiral Akainu and Vice Admiral Garp were jointly capturing Lin Yu, Brandnew was shocked. After saluting, he hurriedly ran out to contact Akainu and Garp.

"Hehehe, let's see how much longer you can jump around."

Sengoku drank a cup of tea and fed the letter in his hand to the goat beside him, feeling relieved.

For the Marines, the most troublesome thing about pirates was that they ran away after robbing.

As long as Lin Yu's whereabouts were found, it would be relatively simple for the Marines to capture him.

At the same time.

The news that Lin Yu had once again attacked a World Government member kingdom and abducted the princess of the Alabasta Kingdom made headlines again and spread worldwide.

For a time, all the kingdoms in the world sounded the alarm, choosing to strengthen palace defenses while also beginning to put pressure on the World Government, demanding that they capture Lin Yu as soon as possible.

And those royal princesses, after seeing Lin Yu's handsome wanted poster, immediately had their eyes light up, and they even vaguely looked forward to him attacking their doors and taking away their 'reluctant' selves...

On the *Shennu*, which was accelerating toward Jiayadao.

"Yahhahahahaha~"

Miss Valentine looked at Princess Vivi in front of her and let out a demonic laugh.

"Miss Wednesday, you don't just have this much ability, do you?"
