Chapter 84: Cast a long line to catch a big fish

Hearing Sandersonia’s reply, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

Bang!

With a wave of Lin Yu’s hand, a black iron ring was placed around Sandersonia’s neck, pinning her face to the deck.

Then, seven or eight iron rings appeared on Sandersonia’s hands, feet, and body, pinning her body tightly to the deck, flush against it.

This was Hina’s Cage-Cage Fruit ability.

Looking at Sandersonia, who was pinned to the deck like a "big" character and lying before his eyes, Lin Yu sat in front of her and patted her face. "It seems you don’t understand your current situation."

Sandersonia closed her eyes, enduring Lin Yu’s patting, and said nothing.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, stepped onto Sandersonia’s back, and pressed his hand against her back.

"Don’t, don’t!!" Feeling Lin Yu’s movements, Sandersonia was shocked and quickly begged.

Lin Yu turned a deaf ear, tore open the clothes on her back, and revealed the Celestial Dragon slave mark on Sandersonia’s back.

"Ah!!!~"

As the Celestial Dragon slave mark appeared, Sandersonia closed her eyes in pain and groaned miserably.

"It’s just a slave mark; wouldn’t it be fine if it were erased?"

Seeing Sandersonia acting like she was dying, Lin Yu muttered speechlessly.

Subsequently, he reached out and pressed on the slave mark on Sandersonia’s back, his hand shimmering with faint light.

Purify!!

As Lin Yu’s purification ability was applied, the slave mark on Sandersonia’s back quickly disappeared, turning into smooth skin.

"Alright, the slave mark on your back has been removed by me."

Canceling the restraint, Lin Yu jumped off Sandersonia’s back and kicked her with his foot.

Sandersonia was stunned upon hearing this, raised her tear-stained face, and looked at Lin Yu in astonishment.

"See for yourself." Lin Yu shrugged and released Sandersonia from the restraints.

It really disappeared!!

Sandersonia turned into her beast-human form, turned her head to look at her back, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the Celestial Dragon slave mark there had truly disappeared.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Sandersonia reached out and grabbed Lin Yu in her hand, weeping with gratitude.

The Celestial Dragon slave mark used special technology; ordinary means couldn’t remove it at all. She hadn’t expected Lin Yu to take the initiative to help her remove it, and for it to be successful.

The shadow of being a "Celestial Dragon slave" that had loomed over her for many years seemed to dissipate completely at this moment.

It also made her feel heartfelt gratitude toward Lin Yu.

Tsk tsk tsk, is this girl taking advantage of me?

Seeing Sandersonia grabbing him in her hand like a doll and constantly rubbing her face against his body, Lin Yu felt annoyed.

If it weren’t for deepening his image in the heart of the Empress Hancock through Sandersonia, Lin Yu would have long since impatiently kicked her away.

For a refined person like Lin Yu who loved beautiful women, Boa Hancock’s beauty and the Love-Love Fruit simply had him wrapped around their finger.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she was Lin Yu’s nemesis.

That was why Lin Yu wanted to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

By improving his favorability in Hancock’s heart through Sandersonia, he wouldn’t be ambushed and turned to stone the moment they met.

Moreover, since the mark on Sandersonia’s back had been removed by him, Boa Hancock would definitely be moved, and then he would have a chance to get intimate with her.

Thinking of the beautiful Hancock, Lin Yu felt an itch he couldn’t scratch.

After crying for a while, Sandersonia recovered, let go of Lin Yu, then sat beside him with her hands hugging her knees, and asked:

"How did you know about the Celestial Dragon mark on my back?"

"Because I am a great prophet who knows the future." Lin Yu bluffed casually.

"You must know the past of us three sisters, right?"

"I do know." Lin Yu nodded.

"Do you really want to know why Marigold and I have such a big difference in appearance from our sister?"

"I am indeed quite curious."

"Why did you kidnap Aphelandra just now but not me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu looked at Sandersonia strangely, thinking to himself: I only want beauties... uh...

The next second, Lin Yu suddenly fell silent.

He finally knew why Sandersonia had become the way she was now, and why Marigold had made herself so fat.

Was it self-protection by intentionally making herself ugly because of the psychological trauma left from her time as a slave...

As if to prove Lin Yu’s thoughts, Sandersonia gritted her teeth and said:

"Those Celestial Dragons liked beautiful slaves and took pleasure in torturing them..."

Hearing this, Lin Yu pursed his lips; he thought of the scene when he first met Charlos and Anna.

At that time, Charlos, who was still a Celestial Dragon, was also torturing Anna, who was a princess of the Kichino Kingdom.

If even a kingdom princess was treated like that, the treatment of others couldn’t possibly be any better.

To keep Sandersonia from falling back into painful memories, Lin Yu took the initiative to change the subject, looked at her, and asked:

"Did you come to find me this time for the airship technology?"

"Mm."

Sandersonia nodded in admission, looked at Lin Yu’s handsome face, pursed her lips, and then said slowly:

"Ships that can fly in mid-air have very important strategic significance for any faction."

"It is rumored that those Emperors of the Sea in the New World have already set their sights on you and are sending people everywhere to inquire about your news; you had better be careful."

Because Lin Yu had helped her remove the slave mark, Sandersonia was full of favor toward him, which was why she gave him a word of caution.

"Hehe, I’m actually afraid they won’t come looking for me."

Lin Yu chuckled upon hearing Sandersonia’s words.

Yamato, Ulti, Smoothie, Uta, Pudding, Maria—these beautiful women were all his future targets; if he feared mere Four Emperors, how could he build his harem?

He actually didn’t put those Emperors of the Sea in his eyes.

He is truly worthy of being a man who possesses Conqueror’s Haki!!!

Looking at the spirit Lin Yu displayed, looking down upon all the heroes of the world, Sandersonia praised in her heart.
