Chapter 97

This was already much larger than the giants, who had an average height of fifteen meters!

"I wonder what kind of effect Oars’ corpse would have if combined with the shadow of a taijutsu master or a top-tier swordsman."

"I imagine shattering mountains with one punch, cutting rivers with one sword, and such should be a piece of cake."

"If..."

As he spoke, Lin Yu paused, and then guessed the reason Moria had captured him.

"Could this Moria have taken a fancy to my Great Swordsman ability?"

"After all, I am a world-famous Great Swordsman!"

Thinking of his 'Great Swordsman' strength, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.

In the news reports, he was indeed a world-famous Great Swordsman!

Moria targeting him was understandable.

"Perhaps, I could capture Flower Sword Vista."

Looking at Oars the Continent-Puller in front of him, Lin Yu quickly filtered through the famous taijutsu and swordsmanship masters in the pirate world.

The most ideal ones, naturally, were Marine Hero Garp and Great Swordsman Dracule Mihawk.

Unfortunately, these two were not people he could handle right now.

Don't look at how Lin Yu could easily handle a disgrace of the Seven Warlords like Moria, but when encountering top powerhouses like Kaido, Garp, or Mihawk, his physical fitness and three-color Haki hadn't reached the top level, so he couldn't hope to beat these people.

As for relying on human-wave tactics, without the team-locking-blood cheat that Luffy had, he didn't have such thoughts at all.

So after thinking it over, he had to set his target on Flower Sword Vista.

While thinking about who to give the Shadow-Shadow Fruit to, Lin Yu walked out of the warehouse.

Afterward, he came to the rudder room of Thriller Bark, took out the permanent pose for Sabaody Archipelago, turned the rudder, adjusted the sailing direction of Thriller Bark, and headed toward Sabaody Archipelago.

The Summit War was about to break out; he needed to head to Sabaody Archipelago to wait quietly, act according to circumstances, and maximize his interests in this war.

Not long after, Kalifa, wearing a black tight skirt and black silk stockings, stepped on Moon Walk and arrived outside the window of the rudder room, pushed open the window, walked to Lin Yu’s side, and handed him a stack of papers.

"Lin Yu, this is the list of all the treasures and valuables on Thriller Bark."

"Tsk, this Moria has been holed up in the Florian Triangle for so many years, and he only has this little money." Lin Yu looked at the list in his hand and curled his lips in disgust.

Kalifa not only finished counting all the treasures and supplies, but also roughly estimated how many Berries Moria’s treasures were worth.

According to Kalifa’s estimate, the treasures on Moria’s ship only totaled a few hundred million Berries, not even five hundred million.

"Tsk tsk tsk, all the treasures plus the bounty amount aren't even as valuable as the Devil Fruit."

"Moria, you really are the disgrace of the Seven Warlords!"

Moria’s bounty was over 300 million Berries, and all the treasures on his ship combined only amounted to 700 or 800 million Berries.

Yet, after deducting Moria’s 300 million bounty, the Paramecia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit alone had cost Lin Yu nearly 600 million Berries!

In total, that was over a billion Berries!

However, the higher the value of a Devil Fruit, the higher its baseline and the greater its potential.

Therefore, Lin Yu naturally hoped that the Devil Fruits he acquired would be as expensive as possible.

Of course, just for this super-giant Thriller Bark, which was comparable to an island, Lin Yu’s operation was already worth far more than the cost.

Unless he could encounter Shiki, kill him, and obtain his Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit to create his own floating island.

Otherwise, this ship of Moria’s would be his main vessel from now on.

Naturally, even if he obtained the Float-Float Fruit, Lin Yu’s floating island would still use this Thriller Bark as the main island; his system could bind and freely control ships, but it could not bind islands.

However, to find Shiki, Lin Yu would likely have to wait until after participating in the Summit War and raising his strength to the next stage.

Don’t be fooled by how easily Luffy defeated Shiki in the movie; that was Luffy, the protagonist.

Facing a legendary pirate like Shiki, who could compete with Roger for the throne of Pirate King, Lin Yu still felt it was better to be cautious.

After finishing the list of assets and treasures, Lin Yu handed it to Kalifa.

"Go tell Reiju and the others that this island-ship will be our main base from now on."

"Ask them to think about how to renovate this island-ship, brainstorm, and come up with a renovation plan."

"Kalifa, you were a mayor’s secretary, so you must be very familiar with urban planning. You should lead this project."

The main tone of Thriller Bark was gloomy and dark, which Lin Yu didn't like, so he wanted a thorough renovation.

"I understand."

"What kind of renovation do you want for this ship?"

Kalifa adjusted her glasses and nodded calmly.

When she was undercover in Water 7, she often dealt with urban renovation; as long as she could figure out Lin Yu’s preferences, it would be quite simple for her.

Lin Yu rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and then said:

"I don't like being disturbed, so the defensive capabilities should be sufficient, the environment should be good, it should be livable, and all facilities should be complete."

To put it in civil service terms: 'a good living environment, convenient facilities, and guaranteed safety.'

"I understand."

Kalifa noted down Lin Yu’s requirements, then looked left and right; seeing no one around, she felt a slight joy.

Afterwards, she pretended to calmly adjust her glasses, closed the door to the helm, and locked it.

Having done this, she immediately ran to Lin Yu, threw herself into his arms, wrapped her hands around him, and offered her lips.

Ever since leaving Enies Lobby, she had wanted to do this.

Unfortunately, there was always someone around Lin Yu, giving her no chance; now that the timing was right, she naturally wouldn't let go.

"You little vixen! How dare you seduce me!"

"Kaya said Perona won't be better for a few more days, so she can't handle your swordsmanship guidance."

"So you’ve already investigated everything; you truly are an agent."

"Hehe, who told you to be so handsome and so capable?"

While Lin Yu was working hard.

Reiju, Robin, and the others were also busy moving the corpses Moria had collected.

They needed to throw these corpses into the sea surrounding Thriller Bark, which was very troublesome.

As for why they didn't burn them, it was naturally because there were too many corpses, and the smell of burning would be too foul.

Originally, Makino was prepared to put these corpses directly into her interdimensional storage box to transport them out; for this, she had even moved all the gold and supplies in her box into the warehouse of Thriller Bark.

As a result, her proposal was unanimously rejected by the women, who ordered her not to put such strange things in the box.

They didn't want to find some strange fingernail while they were eating.

Although Makino stated that the items in the storage box were stored separately and would leave no traces or odors after being taken out, she was still rejected by the women, who even assigned Huang Jinzhou to stay by her side to prevent her from acting recklessly.

Regarding this, Makino, who had thought she could show off her skills, was greatly discouraged.

Double-Finger Thorn!

Miss Doublefinger transformed her hands into thorny spikes, extending from the shore all the way to the wooden wall surrounding the outer perimeter of Thriller Bark.

Afterwards, more spikes grew between the two main spikes, joining together to form a wooden ladder.

Then, long spikes grew beneath the spikes, reaching straight into the bottom of the ship to provide support, forming a wooden bridge.

"Not bad! This makes things much more convenient!" Reiju nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Sarah’s method.

Subsequently, Sarah made several more wooden bridges for the women to walk back and forth.

This way, they didn't need to load the corpses onto a ship and then run to the perimeter of Thriller Bark to dump them.

Seeing Sarah’s actions, Robin smiled slightly.

The next moment, countless hands appeared at equal intervals on the wooden bridges, acting like a conveyor belt, tossing all those corpses into the sea surrounding Thriller Bark.

"Sister Robin, you’re so amazing!"

Nojiko said with surprise upon seeing Robin’s method.

This way, they only needed to transport the corpses here.

The rest would naturally be handled by Sister Robin.

"Alright, let’s hurry and collect those corpses and place them here."

Reiju gave the order and led the women to clear the corpses.

"Just how many people did this Moria kill to accumulate so many corpses? It’s truly disgusting." Alvida, who had just boarded the ship, looked at the corpses covering the ground with some disdain, then picked one up and walked toward Robin’s position.

Although she didn't want to do this, in order to integrate into this group as quickly as possible, she could only patiently do the work.
