Chapter 86

At this moment, her hands were cuffed behind her back, and she was sitting in front of Lin Yu’s bed.

Tsk tsk tsk, this girl is really tall!

Looking at Aphelandra, who was taller than him even while kneeling on the carpet, Lin Yu marveled.

Arriving at the bedside, Lin Yu looked at Aphelandra and smiled:

"The Amazon Lily pirate ship you were on just now was preparing to rob my ship, which made me very annoyed."

"If you are willing to follow me from now on and become my woman, I will let them leave safely."

"If you are unwilling, I will sink them all to the bottom of the sea immediately."

"You choose for yourself."

Sink them all to the bottom of the sea...

Hearing that if she didn’t comply, the other party would sink all the female warriors on the ship to the bottom of the sea, Aphelandra was stunned.

As someone who had gone to sea for the first time, this was her first time encountering such a thing.

This left her in a dilemma, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Subsequently, she defended:

"They were only preparing to rob you, but they hadn’t taken action yet."

"Do you think if I were just an ordinary person, they would have stopped?" Hearing Aphelandra’s defense, Lin Yu chuckled.

If it weren’t for his powerful strength, who knows what these fierce Amazon Lily women would have done to him.

If it weren’t for Hancock’s sake, he would have slaughtered these people long ago.

Hearing what Lin Yu said, Aphelandra was incredibly dejected, looked at him, and begged:

"Lord Lin Yu, I’ll apologize to you on their behalf, okay? Just let them go."

"Hahaha." Hearing Aphelandra’s words, Lin Yu laughed out loud and said that famous quote from his previous life: "If apologies were useful, what would the Marines be for?"

Upon hearing this, Aphelandra’s expression wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant.

In this matter, it was indeed the people of Amazon Lily who were in the wrong; now that they had kicked an iron plate, it was their own fault.

Moreover, the Conqueror’s Haki Lin Yu had just displayed still left her with lingering fears, making her unable to even muster the heart to resist.

"It seems you don’t intend to save them, so I’ll go execute them now."

Seeing Aphelandra’s expression, Lin Yu smiled and added fuel to the fire.

After saying this, he made a move to get up from the bed.

"No!" Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Aphelandra immediately knelt in front of him, blocking his path.

Seeing Lin Yu’s eyes staring straight at her, Aphelandra’s mouth drooped, and she said in a low voice: "I... I’ll agree to you."

As a guardian warrior of Amazon Lily, she could never stand by and watch them die, watching Lady Sandersonia die just like that.

Stepping on Aphelandra’s thigh, Lin Yu stood in front of her, pinched her pretty face, and smiled:

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

Aphelandra pursed her lips. "I am willing."

[Ding! Aphelandra has joined the pirate crew, automatically...]

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

[Ding! Pirate crew upgrade successful, becoming a Level 3 pirate crew. More positions and special positions are now open...]

[Ding! The strength of a crew member with whom a bond has been formed has reached eight stars or a bounty of one billion; the host can select another ability from that crew member...]

[Ding! Unlocked an additional ship-binding quota; current ship-binding quota: 1/2]

[Ding...]

Seeing the prompts appearing one after another, Lin Yu was overjoyed.

Subsequently, he looked at Aphelandra, who was lowering her head in submission, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up slightly.

Taming and training such a large woman gave him a strange sense of pleasure and conquest.

Feeling the impulse within his body, Lin Yu stepped on Aphelandra and used the giant arm formed by the Flower-Flower Fruit to move her and himself onto the bed together.

Next, he wanted to see how the Flower-Flower Fruit worked...

[Name: Aphelandra]

[Identity: Amazon Lily Guardian Warrior]

[Special Skill: None]

[Talent: Natural Super Strength]

[Favorability: 50]

[Combat Power: Three Stars]

[Natural Super Strength: Strength is far greater than that of an ordinary person]

[Earnings: 15 points of Physique, 15 points of Vitality, 15 points of Spirit/hour, 15 points of Armament Haki/hour. Note: Three-star combat power, earnings effect X3]

She is truly worthy of being a guardian warrior of Amazon Lily; she has actually already mastered Armament Haki.

And she also possesses a talent for natural super strength; this is truly great!!

Lying in the arms of the sleeping Aphelandra, Lin Yu looked at her information and nodded with satisfaction.

People with talents are quite rare; Lin Yu hadn’t expected Aphelandra to possess one.

Subsequently, he began to study the effects of the pirate crew system upgrade.

[Level 3 Pirate Crew: Can recruit ten combatants, two chefs, two lookouts, two navigators, one helmsman, two ship doctors, two shipwrights, two handymen, four special positions, totaling twenty-seven crew members]

[After recruiting twenty-seven crew members, with the total bounty of the ship reaching 1.5 billion, it can be upgraded to a Level 4 pirate crew, opening more crew positions and obtaining special rewards]

"It really is twenty-seven crew members."

"Could it be that for every level up, nine crew members need to be added?"

"There’s really no originality at all."

Seeing the prompt, Lin Yu, who had already guessed this result, couldn’t help but complain a few times.

After upgrading to a Level 3 pirate crew, the number of ships Lin Yu could bind had become two.

At the same time, the number of abilities Lin Yu could obtain from crew members had gone from one to two.

Obtaining the first ability required forming a bond, while the second required the bonded crew member’s strength to reach eight stars or their bounty to reach one billion.

For Lin Yu, this was a significant improvement, though he couldn’t use it for now.

After all, the highest star-rated combatant on the God-Slave, Reiju, only had seven-star strength.

As for the bounty, it went without saying; besides him, the highest was the 79 million Berries of the "Devil Child" Nico Robin.

Besides the abilities going from one to two, Lin Yu also obtained an acceleration ability to be used with the [Cultivation Room].

[Cultivation Acceleration: Accelerates the flow of time within the cultivation area, three minutes in the cultivation area/one minute in the outside world; cannot be used during combat]

"A three-to-one cultivation time acceleration, it feels pretty good!!"

"In this way, the strength of Reiju, Nami, Kaya, and the others can be accelerated and improved."

Looking at the new ability he had obtained, Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction.

For Lin Yu, who received more feedback experience the stronger his crew members were, this "Cultivation Acceleration" ability was truly perfect for him.

Getting up from the fragrant and soft "Aphelandra-brand" big pillow, Lin Yu stretched and walked out the door.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Vivi, who was somewhat dejected on the deck and occasionally stole glances at the captain’s quarters.

Her low strength meant she couldn’t participate in external battles, and now even the opportunity to serve Lin Yu had been snatched away.

This made Vivi incredibly uncomfortable, feeling as if she were a useless person.

Seeing Vivi’s expression, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, walked to her side, picked her up by the waist, and walked toward the big pillow.

He had just been preparing to discuss the mysteries of life with Vivi when he was interrupted; now he should properly compensate her.

Vivi was held in Lin Yu’s arms, her pretty face flushed red, but her hands, which were wrapped around Lin Yu’s neck, refused to let go.

A few days later.

Lin Yu arrived in the sea area where the Germa Kingdom was docked and met Vinsmoke Judge again.

Judge sat on his throne, looked at Lin Yu as he walked in, and said:

"Your Munch-Munch Fruit machine, I have already finished it for you."
