Chapter 74
Hina was very confident in her appearance.
However, saying that was one thing; Hina also knew the gap in strength between herself and Lin Yu.
A pirate with a bounty of 1.5 billion was not someone she, currently only a Colonel, could handle.
So, while stalling him, she quickly thought of a countermeasure in her mind.
However, at this moment, the Marine soldiers on the warship had basically been knocked out by Lin Yu’s Conqueror’s Haki, and the warship was also unusable due to damage.
In this situation, what could she possibly do?
"Miss Hina, how about we make a bet?"
Lin Yu looked at the beautiful and sexy Hina, finding it a feast for the eyes, and spoke with a smile.
He liked the cool and handsome Hina very much, so he didn't want to use the same methods on her that he used on Kalifa.
"A bet?"
Hina looked at Lin Yu with some confusion, not knowing what he was up to.
"Neither of us will use our Devil Fruit abilities, and we will have a fight relying on martial arts."
"If I win, you will start following me and listen to me from now on."
"If I lose, I will follow you and do whatever you tell me to do."
Lin Yu looked at Hina and stated his idea.
In his view, if they didn't use Devil Fruit abilities and just compared martial arts, he could steadily win against Hina.
After all, Hina was currently only a Colonel, and her combat power with her Devil Fruit ability was only around four stars.
Of course, if her Devil Fruit ability were included, Hina would have even less chance of winning.
Hina had no way to deal with just the ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit alone.
Is he really coveting my beauty?
Seeing that Lin Yu was suppressing his own strength because he coveted her beauty and wanted to conquer her completely, Hina narrowed her eyes, as if she saw some kind of opportunity.
Then, she looked at Lin Yu and mocked:
"Heh, you have the strength of a Great Swordsman; what difference does it make whether you use your Devil Fruit ability or not?"
"If you have the guts, don't use your swordsmanship either, and let’s have a fight while wearing Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs."
"If you agree, I will agree to your bet."
When a Devil Fruit user wears Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs, they cannot use their fruit ability, and their physical strength is suppressed.
In this way, what Lin Yu and she would be comparing was their respective willpower.
In Hina’s view, this was a fair duel, and even if she lost, she would have no regrets.
Hearing Hina say that he possessed the strength of a Great Swordsman, Lin Yu felt inexplicably guilty.
Although he often taught Nami and Robin swordsmanship, his true swordsmanship was still stuck at two stars; he was not a Great Swordsman at all...
So Hina telling him not to use swordsmanship didn't matter to him at all.
And Hina’s proposal of Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs was not a problem for Lin Yu either.
Because, besides his Devil Fruit abilities, he also possessed a powerful physique and superpowers obtained through Lineage Factor modification.
Even if his physical fitness were weakened by the Sea-Prism Stone, it would definitely still be stronger than Hina’s.
What’s more, Reiju was watching from the Ark Maxim.
Even if he lost here, he could still take Hina away and regain his face elsewhere.
Therefore, Lin Yu, standing in an invincible position, nodded and agreed to Hina’s proposal.
"Miss Hina, I agree to your proposal."
"Let’s start now."
"Hmph!" Hina snorted coldly, wearing thick gloves, took out two pairs of Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs from the warship room, and threw one pair at Lin Yu’s feet.
Click!
Lin Yu and Hina simultaneously put the Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs on their left hands.
Feeling the strength in his body weakened significantly, Lin Yu suddenly found his body had become much heavier, but based on the robust physique obtained from the Lineage Factor, he did not feel any sense of weakness.
The stronger a person’s physical fitness, the less effective Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs are at weakening their strength.
This point was fully verified in Kaido of the Beasts, which is also the reason why he was caught by ordinary Marines but could not be executed.
Because even if Kaido was wearing Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs, those ordinary Marines still couldn't break his defense, and thus couldn't kill him.
Opposite Lin Yu, Hina’s performance was worse, but only slightly.
Since Hina proposed this, she naturally knew very well what she would be like after wearing Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs.
Then, Lin Yu took out his scientific combat suit device, looked at Hina, and smiled:
"Miss Hina, you are going to lose this time!"
"The Germa Kingdom’s scientific combat suit?"
Seeing the scientific combat suit device Lin Yu took out, Hina was startled.
As a Marine Headquarters Colonel who had just returned from the North Blue, she had naturally heard news of the North Blue’s Germa 66.
Hearing Hina’s exclamation, Lin Yu chuckled.
The next moment, his body changed, and in Hina’s shocked eyes, he transformed into the appearance of Project: Wind.
Seeing Lin Yu in this appearance, Hina immediately felt she had been played, and roared in anger and desperation:
"You cheated!!!"
With the help of the scientific combat suit, there was no way she could beat him.
"Hahaha, Miss Hina, you didn't say that using external help wasn't allowed."
"I did promise you I wouldn't use swordsmanship, and I did wear the Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs."
"I’ve done all this; you should understand my sincerity now, right?"
Lin Yu came to the angry and furious Hina, grabbed her hands, and said with a smile.
"You..."
Hina was left speechless upon hearing this.
With Lin Yu’s strength, if he wanted to abduct her, he really didn't need to go to such lengths; he could just knock her out and take her.
At that point, doing whatever he wanted would be easy.
Moreover, Hina had asked Lin Yu to wear Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs originally with the intention of stalling for time, waiting for her subordinates to wake up so they could capture him.
Come to think of it, she was the one who didn't have good intentions first; she just couldn't outsmart Lin Yu.
"A bet is a bet, Miss Hina."
"If you go back on your word, everyone on this warship will be harmed because of your decision."
Lin Yu looked at the speechless Hina and said with a smile.
"You actually used them to threaten me."
Hina looked at the smiling Lin Yu, wishing she could bite him.
"Who told you not to listen obediently?"
Lin Yu shrugged indifferently.
After speaking, he waved at Reiju on the Ark Maxim in mid-air.
Seeing Lin Yu’s wave, Reiju jumped directly from the Ark Maxim and landed on the warship deck.
"Princess Reiju of the Germa Kingdom?"
Looking at Reiju, who was also wearing a scientific combat suit, Hina said through gritted teeth.
She could never have imagined that the God-Slayer Lin Yu would have a connection with Germa.
"Hmph!"
Reiju glanced at Hina, snorted coldly, and turned to find the key to the Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs for Lin Yu.
"You have to call her 'Sister' from now on, you know."
Lin Yu turned Hina’s pretty face toward him and said cheerfully.
"Get lost!"
Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Hina was so angry her pretty face turned red.
Click!
After the handcuffs were opened by Reiju, Lin Yu pointed at Hina and said:
