Chapter 71

A violent explosion rang out, sending Mr. 5 reeling in dizziness.

The explosion could not harm Mr. 5, but the blast sound at point-blank range still left him, utterly unprepared, in severe discomfort.

The next second, Reiju appeared behind Mr. 5 and shackled him with Seastone handcuffs from her hand.

"Seastone..."

With his hands shackled, Mr. 5 immediately collapsed to the ground, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Looking at Mr. 5, who had originally intended to use his ability to launch a surprise attack on him, Lin Yu chuckled lightly.

The other party had wanted to sneak attack him, yet never expected that he knew their ability inside out; turning their own scheme against them, he had instead caught them completely off guard.

Approaching the limp Mr. 5, Lin Yu picked up a pistol.

Bang!

Merely the war instigated by Baroque Works in Alabasta had caused the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians.

As a core member of Baroque Works who had instigated the Alabasta war, Mr. 5 was someone Lin Yu would not treat with mercy.

Let alone him; even if Sand Crocodile Crocodile were here, Lin Yu would kill him without hesitation.

【Ding! Killing Baroque Works member Mr. 5 allows you to automatically obtain their bounty or, by forfeiting treasure, obtain their Devil Fruit.】

【...】

Without hesitation, Lin Yu directly chose to pay money to obtain the other party's Devil Fruit.

"There is one more here."

"The other one escaped."

Reiju checked the other rooms inside the house, dragged out the trembling Miss Goldenweek, and handed her over to Anna and Sharlia.

Then, she rushed out of the house, flew into the sky, and chased after the drifting Miss Valentine, Mikita.

"D-don't kill me."

Miss Goldenweek glanced at Mr. 5, whose head had just been blown off by a single shot, her face turning pale.

Although she was Number 3's partner, her courage was actually extremely small.

You are a legal loli; how could I possibly kill you?

Looking at the petite Miss Goldenweek, Marianne, Lin Yu smiled slightly.

Despite Miss Goldenweek's small appearance, her age was actually only one year younger than Luffy's.

"Where are the others?"

Looking at the captured Goldenweek, Lin Yu asked with a smile.

"Sara went to buy things, and Dorofi is with the others next door..."

Glancing again at the miserably dead Mr. 5, Miss Goldenweek honestly confessed everything.

Before Goldenweek could finish speaking, Reiju entered carrying the knocked-out Miss Valentine, Mikita.

Seeing Mikita in Reiju's hand, Lin Yu smiled.

Mikita was tall and possessed extremely high beauty; merely within Baroque Works, she commanded a significant fanbase, making her a true beauty.

Moreover, her arrogant and conceited personality made her very suitable for training.

"Anna, Sharlia, you two go handle the people next door."

Lin Yu gave an order to Anna and Sharlia, then looked at Goldenweek and said with a smile, "You will lead us to find Sara."

Sara was, in fact, the Thorn Woman, Miss Doublefinger.

And the people next door were naturally that fat man and the Mole Woman.

"Understood."

Miss Goldenweek nodded obediently.

Anna and Sharlia also released her and went out to find their respective targets.

【Ding! Killing Baroque Works member...】

【Ding! Killing Baroque Works member...】

【Ding! Killing Mr. 4's dachshund, a Baroque Works member...】

Not long after, Lin Yu received system notifications, and two additional Devil Fruits appeared in his hand.

One was a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

The other was also a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

The former was the Mole Woman's Mole-Mole Fruit.

The latter was the Inu-Inu Fruit, Dachshund Model, belonging to Mr. 4's beloved gun, 'Lassoo'.

Casually placing the two Devil Fruits into his interdimensional storage box, Lin Yu carried Miss Goldenweek while Reiju carried the unconscious Miss Valentine, and they regrouped with Makino and the others.

"Big Brother Lin Yu, she is so small; did you capture the wrong person?"

Kaya looked at Miss Goldenweek being carried in Lin Yu's hand and spoke in astonishment.

Makino and Nojiko nearby also nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Before coming, Lin Yu had informed them that the targets of this capture were members of Baroque Works who had instigated the Alabasta war, causing the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians.

For such heinous individuals, Kaya, Makino, and the others naturally did not object; in fact, they strongly agreed.

At this moment, seeing Miss Goldenweek's appearance, all three felt somewhat surprised.

This was not their fault; primarily, Miss Goldenweek's height was only 145 cm, and she looked very childish, which was highly deceptive; most people would assume she was just a well-behaved child.

Little did they know that, in Lin Yu's view, Miss Goldenweek's ability was the most terrifying among the several Baroque Works members.

Lin Yu had long been mentally prepared for Kaya and the others' reaction; holding the little loli in his hand, he shook her slightly and said with a smile:

"Kaya, she is only one year younger than you; she is not some little child."

"Do not be deceived by her."
