Chapter 91

Terror?

Once I kill Absalom and feed his Clear-Clear Fruit to Miss Goldenweek Marianne, you will all know what true terror is!!

With Miss Goldenweek Marianne’s talent for painting and her palette abilities, combined with the Paramecia-type Clear-Clear Fruit—just thinking about this combination makes one’s scalp tingle...

Of course, that’s only for others.

Lin Yu would, at most, feel a bit of soreness in his lower back.

"Found it!"

Following the clues provided by Buggy the Clown, Nojiko quickly located the bomb recipe the other party had hidden and ran to the deck to hand it to Lin Yu.

After glancing at the recipe, Lin Yu waved his hand.

Nami walked up to Buggy, reached out toward him, and said with disgust:

"Go to hell, you scum!!!"

"One Hundred Million Volts!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, lightning flashed in Nami’s hand, and a pillar of electricity as thick as an arm struck Buggy’s head, instantly charring him into a corpse.

Nami felt no pity for Buggy the Clown, who had committed every evil imaginable.

Looking at the charred, undeniably dead Buggy, Lin Yu paused.

Why wasn't there a system notification?

Cabaji and Mohji were already dead; the members of the Buggy Pirates should have all been killed by now.

Suddenly, Lin Yu spotted a lion hiding behind a wine barrel...

With a twitch of his lip, Lin Yu pointed at the lion—whose name he had forgotten—and ordered:

"Aflandra, slaughter that lion for me."

"Understood, Lin Yu." Receiving the order, Aflandra immediately rushed in the direction Lin Yu pointed and grabbed the lion.

"Snap!"

Aflandra used both arms to snap the lion’s neck.

[Ding! The Buggy Pirates have been wiped out. You can automatically obtain their treasure and bounty, or forfeit the treasure to obtain their Devil Fruit.]

[Ding! Paramecia-type Chop-Chop Fruit, value 300 million... requires payment of 230 million Berries or treasure of equivalent value.]

"Choose to pay."

As soon as he spoke, a pineapple-shaped Devil Fruit appeared in Lin Yu’s hand.

'I should stick to the kill mode next time.'

Tossing the Devil Fruit in his hand, Lin Yu muttered to himself.

When attacking pirate crews, he could choose between annihilation mode or kill mode.

Annihilation mode meant wiping out all members of the pirate crew to obtain all their bounty, treasure, and Devil Fruit abilities.

Kill mode meant killing a pirate to immediately obtain their bounty or Devil Fruit, but it did not automatically collect the crew's treasure; he would have to search for it himself.

However, Lin Yu was wealthy now, and since his main goal was obtaining Devil Fruit abilities, the kill mode—which provided the fruit immediately—was more convenient.

Otherwise, if a single fish slipped through the net, his attack would have been in vain.

Casually placing the Devil Fruit into his interdimensional storage box, Lin Yu looked at Reiju and the others and smiled:

"You all head back to the Shennu first. I’m going to collect the cannonballs on the ship into the box before returning."

The cannonballs Buggy produced were extremely powerful, and Lin Yu planned to equip them on the Shennu and the Ark Maxim.

After some time, he would have Nojiko produce more.

With this, Lin Yu would basically be invincible in naval warfare!!

Reiju, Nami, and the others nodded, turned to look at Aflandra not far away, and shouted: "Aflandra, let's go."

"You go ahead, I'll come after I skin it."

"Taking the meat from sea beasts and the skin from wild beasts is a tradition of Amazon Lily."

Aflandra squatted in front of the lion’s carcass, busy with her long blade, and spoke without looking back.

Reiju, Nami, Nojiko, and Miss Valentine looked at each other, shook their heads, and walked away.

"This girl is really a bit dense..."

Lin Yu smiled as he glanced at Aflandra and walked into the cabin.

After loading all of Buggy’s special cannonballs into the interdimensional storage box and returning to the deck, he found that Aflandra was still not finished.

After waiting a while longer, Lin Yu finally returned to the Shennu with Aflandra, who was carrying the lion’s pelt.

Setting sail, the Shennu headed rapidly toward Water 7 once again.

At the stern of the Shennu, Nojiko took a coin she had been carrying close to her body and tossed it onto Buggy the Clown’s pirate ship.

She had been fiddling with this coin for a long time, and it was imbued with her aura; its explosive power was no less than the bombs Buggy made.

Boom!!!

With a loud bang, a massive fireball erupted on Buggy the Clown’s ship, instantly blowing it to pieces, and it soon sank to the bottom of the sea.

Watching the exploding pirate ship, Nojiko nodded with satisfaction.

No matter the object, the longer she carried it—the more she polished it with her touch—the greater its explosive power became.

Therefore, Nojiko often carried dozens of portable coins to use as high-powered explosives.

Next, she pulled a small bag of bean-sized special bombs from her backpack; these were ones Lin Yu had found on Buggy’s ship and had casually tossed to Nojiko earlier.

Taking out a red lipstick, Nojiko painted all these special bombs red, put them in a small bag, and carried them close to her body.

These special bombs already had high explosive power; if she carried them for a long time, their power would definitely multiply several times over!!

"Let's call them Little Peppers."

Having renamed the bombs and touched up her lipstick, a delighted Nojiko ran to the bar inside the Shennu’s cabin and hugged Reiju, who was drinking coffee with Goldenweek, Makino, and the others, acting spoiled.

"Sister Reiju, do me a favor."

Reiju looked at Nojiko and smiled: "What favor?"

Nojiko was overjoyed and said loudly:

"Sister Reiju, help me make a scientific tool belt that can easily carry these bombs, something convenient."

Nojiko planned to make those special bombs in three sizes from now on and carry them with her to continuously enhance their power.

One size is bean-sized, called Little Peppers!

One size is fava bean-sized, called Big Peppers!

One size is ping-pong ball-sized, called Sky-Pointing Peppers!

Reiju looked at Nojiko, "Granted!"

"Sister Reiju, you're the best."

A few days later.

Lin Yu once again disguised the Shennu as a ship of the Five Seas Trading Company and arrived at Water 7.

This time, he brought Vivi, who was disguised as his secretary, to meet with the mayor of Water 7, Iceburg.

Lin Yu did not see Lucci and Kaku this time; presumably, they had followed Kalifa’s suggestion and, after regrouping with Jabra and the others, had fled into the world.

After Vivi, in her capacity as Lin Yu’s secretary, negotiated the upcoming cooperation plan with Iceburg.

Lin Yu asked Iceburg to help deliver Vivi’s letters and 5 billion Berries worth of gold to Alabasta.

"Do you trust me that much, to let me handle such a large sum of money?" Iceburg asked, looking at him strangely upon hearing Lin Yu’s request.

Lin Yu smiled, "Of course I trust Iceburg’s character, and I also believe Iceburg’s vision isn't so short-sighted."

"Alright, once the route is confirmed, I will publish it in the newspaper. Don't forget to come back to Water 7 to invest then," Iceburg laughed.

Once the route was confirmed, he would publish it in the World Economic Journal; this way, Lin Yu would return to Water 7 to continue investing in the Sea Train and the construction of the tracks.

"That goes without saying."

Lin Yu stood up from the sofa and walked out the door with Vivi, who was somewhat excited by the successful cooperation.

After docking in Water 7 for a while and purchasing some supplies.

Lin Yu took everyone and left Water 7, heading for the Florian Triangle.

There, the gothic girl Perona was still waiting for him.
