Rules on the Ship

Upon the sea.

The location of the Germa Kingdom.

Bang!

"What did you say?"

"Reiju and Yongji were captured?"

Upon hearing the report from the Communications Soldier, Vinsmoke Judge slammed a fist onto his desk, furious.

Someone actually dared to capture Reiju and Yongji. Did they think Germa 66's title of the "Evil Army" was for nothing?

"Sir, according to the information sent back."

"The ones who captured Miss Reiju and Young Master Yongji appear to be God Slayer Lin Yu, who recently appeared in the North Sea. His Bounty is as high as 1.5 Billion."

"Furthermore, he possesses a massive ship with incredible speed and firepower."

Hearing the Communications Soldier's words, Gage was startled. He had not expected it to be that man.

God Slayer Lin Yu's killing of a Celestial Dragon had recently caused an enormous uproar in the North Sea. The Marines had even dispatched an Admiral along with countless Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals, preparing to head to the North Sea and capture him.

As a result, every Pirate Crew in the North Sea had either vanished without a trace or fled desperately toward the Grand Line.

In short, because of this man's appearance, the North Sea had become peaceful.

For a time, many ordinary people in the North Sea who had suffered at the hands of pirates actually began feeling grateful to Lin Yu.

Thinking of Lin Yu's fearsome reputation, Gage frowned and ordered the Communications Soldier:

"Go call Ichiji and Niji."

"Then order all Germa soldiers to enter wartime readiness."

Although Lin Yu was powerful, the Germa Kingdom was no pushover either.

It would be fine if Lin Yu handed over Reiju and Yongji. But if he refused, then Gage would make him taste the might of the Germa Kingdom's Scientific Combat Unit!

Elsewhere.

Aboard the God Slave.

Lin Yu headed into the cabin, intending to inspect the ship's stores of coal and Shells.

They might have to fight Germa at sea later, so he needed to be prepared.

On the deck, Reiju looked over the empty God Slave, then at Anna and Charloss before her, and asked in confusion:

"Why haven't I seen anyone else on this ship?"

"Because there are only the three of us aboard this ship."

Anna watched Reiju warily as she spoke.

After all, the task Lin Yu had assigned Charloss and her was to keep an eye on Vinsmoke Reiju.

Charloss watched Reiju from the side, thought for a moment, then directly asked:

"Why did you surrender immediately just now?"

"Obviously, there are only three of us..."

As the one who most wanted Lin Yu to be captured, this was the question that puzzled Charloss the most.

In Charloss's view, Vinsmoke's Snail Ship was not small and had many soldiers aboard, while there were only three people on their side. No, more accurately, Lin Yu was the only one. There had been no need for them to surrender right away.

"It seems you don't understand his strength."

Reiju smiled and handed the Newspaper in her hand to Charloss.

"1.5 Billion Berries!"

Anna, standing beside her, cried out when she saw the headline in the Newspaper.

Charloss and Anna had both been on the second floor at the time and had not seen Lin Yu fight, so they did not understand his strength very well. They only knew he was strong.

Now that they saw Lin Yu's Bounty of 1.5 Billion, they finally had a basic idea of it.

"1.5 Billion is a Bounty at the level of a Yonko Crew Vice Captain."

"On top of that, he seems to possess the ability to control ships. With this ship's support, there are not many people on the sea who can reliably defeat him."

"Lady Charloss, as the ship's former owner, you should know how terrifying this ship is, shouldn't you?"

Seeing that Anna and Charloss seemed unfamiliar with such matters, Reiju explained. At the end, she glanced at Charloss.

By now, she had already guessed that Lin Yu's massive ship had been stolen from the Celestial Dragons.

As for which Celestial Dragon he had stolen it from, that went without saying.

Charloss's face turned bitter at those words.

As Roswald's daughter, she naturally knew the condition of the ship beneath her feet. She also knew how many modifications her father had added to it and how many Berries he had spent.

Not only had this ship been converted from the largest Marine warship, but it had also been fitted with much of the latest technology developed by the Marines and Vegapunk.

Its dual power system of sails and steam gave it a speed far beyond that of other warships.

The massive heavy cannons installed aboard had range and power that far surpassed ordinary artillery. This ship had one hundred such massive cannons on just one side alone.

Ordinary ships could not even withstand a single volley.

Old Man, you've really ruined me this time.

After seeing Lin Yu's Ship Control ability, Charloss had actually known that she likely could not escape his grasp.

She had merely clung to a sliver of hope. Only now, after seeing Reiju surrender immediately out of fear of this ship, did she finally recognize the cruel reality she was in.

"Father was actually killed." After reading the Newspaper, Anna's face turned deathly pale.

Naturally, she did not believe that Lin Yu had killed her father.

Because when she had left with Lin Yu, she had seen that her Father was still perfectly alive.

After emerging from the cabin, Lin Yu saw Anna's pale face and tear-streaked cheeks, along with the distraught Charloss.

He asked curiously:

"What happened?"

"Father was killed. The Newspaper says you killed him," Anna said blankly.

Hearing that, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and pointed at Charloss.

"They must have silenced him. The Celestial Dragons did it."

Upon hearing that, Anna immediately felt it was very possible. She pounced on Charloss at once, grabbing her by the throat and trying to make her pay with her life.

Charloss, already distraught, was suddenly attacked and had no ability to resist at all.

Seeing Anna's actions, Lin Yu frowned. With a flick of his finger, a ship's rope dropped from overhead and lashed violently across Anna's back, instantly leaving a bloody welt.

"Ah!"

Anna screamed and fell to the ground.

Freed from Anna's clutches, Charloss immediately ran behind Lin Yu. She had truly experienced the fear of death just now.

Ding! Anna's favorability toward the host increased by 5...

Ding! Charloss's favorability toward the host increased by 10. Current: -40...

The ship's rope wrapped around Anna's neck, lifting her up and bringing her before Lin Yu.

Lin Yu patted Anna's pretty face and said with a smile:

"Looks like you've forgotten the rules on this ship."

On his ship, everyone except him had to get along peacefully. Anyone who dared harm another person had to be prepared to face punishment.

"Master, I-I'm sorry."

Anna clutched her neck, struggling constantly as she apologized again and again.

Only when Anna was close to suffocating did Lin Yu throw her onto the ground and order:

"Kneel!"

"Yes." Still shaken, Anna hurriedly knelt properly.

"You too." Lin Yu then looked at Charloss.

Charloss had been somewhat pleased to see Anna punished, but upon hearing that, her face immediately fell.

Still, she did not dare defy Lin Yu and could only obediently kneel beside Anna.

Reiju, who had watched everything that had just happened, felt her heart pound in terror. The way she looked at Lin Yu was as though she were looking at a demon.

Could Anna have some kind of special fetish? Her favorability actually rose after I whipped her once.

But Charloss's favorability rose too. That's something I didn't expect.

Seeing the notifications that Anna's and Charloss's favorability had increased, Lin Yu smiled faintly.

However, in Reiju's eyes, that smile was utterly terrifying.
