Chapter 88

"Why have you not exploded despite acquiring so many Devil Fruit abilities?"

Rumor has it that anyone who consumes two Devil Fruits will burst apart and die instantly.

Reaching out to rub Nefertari Vivi's red lips, Lin Yu smiled and said:

"Because I do not consume Devil Fruits directly, so I naturally will not die; instead, I can acquire abilities from people like Makino."

"Just as I will acquire abilities from you shortly."

The moment his words ended, Lin Yu scooped up Vivi.

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

Lin Yu chuckled. "Vivi, you are special. Even without abilities, I will not let you go."

Hearing this, Vivi's face fell; she had no idea at all what made her special.

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

Seeing the somewhat frightened Vivi, Lin Yu extended an invitation to her.

Although she did not know why Lin Yu was asking this, Vivi knew the matter was now unavoidable; she closed her eyes and nodded.

"I am willing."

【Ding! Nefertari Vivi has joined the pirate crew, automatically becoming the ship's doctor】

【Ding! The pirate crew meets the upgrade requirements; upgrading in progress...】

【Ding! The pirate crew has upgraded successfully, becoming a Level 2 pirate crew; more positions and special positions are now unlocked...】

【Ding...】

Seeing the notifications constantly appearing before his eyes, Lin Yu could not help but laugh; then, he looked at Princess Vivi in his arms.

"Come, I will teach you swordsmanship."

"I... I am a bit scared..."

"That is precisely why I must teach you swordsmanship."

"......"

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Bang!

"That bastard Lin Yu has kidnapped another princess."

"And she is the princess of Alabasta."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku hung up the phone, slammed his fist onto his desk, and cursed furiously.

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

Even the Five Elders of the World Government would have to show some respect for what Nefertari Cobra said.

Therefore, upon learning that Princess Vivi had been kidnapped by that bastard Lin Yu, the Five Elders immediately called to reprimand Sengoku, calling him utterly useless.

At the same time, they ordered Sengoku to quickly set up an ambush along Lin Yu's projected route.

The World Government would also dispatch its strongest CP0 members to assist, determined to capture Lin Yu and bring him to justice.

After drinking a mouthful of tea in a huff, Sengoku said to Brannew, who was standing nearby:

"Go contact Akainu and Garp; tell them we have found traces of Lin Yu and order them to head immediately to Water 7."

Water 7 is an unavoidable stop on the route from Alabasta; Lin Yu is very likely to appear there next.

With the combined strength of Admiral Akainu and Fist Garp, let alone a Great Swordsman like Lin Yu, even the Whitebeard, the strongest in the world, could only end in bitter defeat.

"Yes, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

Hearing that Admiral Akainu and Vice Admiral Garp were jointly tasked with capturing Lin Yu, Brannew was startled; after bowing, he hurried out to contact Akainu and Garp.

"Heh heh heh, let's see how long you can keep hopping around."

Sengoku drank a mouthful of tea, casually fed the letter in his hand to the goat beside him, and felt greatly relieved.

For the Marines, the most troublesome thing about pirates is that they steal and run, which is the most annoying part.

Once Lin Yu's whereabouts are found, it will be relatively simple for the Marines to capture him.

Meanwhile.

The news that Lin Yu had once again attacked a World Government member kingdom and kidnapped the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta topped the headlines once more, spreading across the world.

In an instant, all kingdoms in the world raised the alarm, choosing to strengthen their palace defenses while also pressuring the World Government to capture Lin Yu and bring him to justice as soon as possible.

And those royal princesses, upon seeing Lin Yu's handsome wanted poster, immediately lit up with excitement, actually harboring a faint expectation that he would come knocking on their doors and carry them away while they wore a 'reluctant' expression...

On the God Slave, speeding toward Jiayadao.

"Ya hahahaha~"

Miss Valentine Miss Kitty looked at Princess Vivi before her and let out a demonic laugh.

"Miss Wednesday, don't tell me that's all you've got."
