Box-Box Fruit

Smack!

After obtaining the key to the Kingdom Treasury from Sterry,

Charloss flicked her right hand and sent Sterry flying, smashing him onto the floor. It was unclear whether he was dead or alive.

"Now we just wait for Lin Yu. If he doesn't come, we won't be able to take much with us anyway."

Seated on the throne, Reiju glanced at the unconscious Sterry and examined the nails she had just finished fixing.

They had secretly flown into the Goa Kingdom's royal palace using their Battle Suits without alerting the guards and soldiers in the kingdom's capital.

As a result, they easily knocked out all the guards and servants in the palace, successfully taking control of it.

"Alright."

Hearing that, Anna and Charloss nodded. They went to Reiju's side and began discussing how to trim their nails to make them look better.

Not long afterward, Lin Yu, clad in a Battle Suit, flew into the palace on the wind with a surprised-looking Makino.

Only after her feet touched solid ground did Makino climb down from Lin Yu, her face flushed red.

It was her first time flying. She had been both amazed and terrified, so she clung tightly to Lin Yu and refused to let go.

Of course, since she refused to let go of Lin Yu, he naturally refused to let go of her as well, leaving her extremely embarrassed.

"Lin Yu."

"Young Master."

Upon seeing Lin Yu arrive, Reiju rose from the throne. Anna and Charloss also hurriedly stood properly, and Lin Yu naturally took the seat.

"Go gather everything in the treasury. I'll be there shortly."

After getting a basic understanding of the situation, Lin Yu gave Reiju his instructions.

"Understood."

Reiju glanced at Makino, then led Anna and Charloss, who were likewise sizing Makino up, out of the palace and toward the Kingdom Treasury.

Lin Yu took out a Devil Fruit and smiled at Makino.

"Come here, Miss Makino."

"Although you've already eaten something just now, you need to eat this too."

With that, Lin Yu used the small knife he carried to cut off a piece of the Devil Fruit and held it in his hand.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Makino's pretty face flushed again as she walked up to him.

Since Lin Yu was seated, Makino knelt down obediently, lifted her chin, and ate the Devil Fruit from his hand.

"Ugh... It tastes awful."

Makino furrowed her delicate brows, her face full of discomfort as though she wanted to throw up.

"It's a Devil Fruit. It's normal for it to taste bad."

"But it'll give you a special ability, so you have to finish it."

Lin Yu chuckled and cut off another piece, bringing it to Makino's mouth after she had only just managed to swallow.

"A Devil Fruit?" Makino was shocked. Having met Shanks and the others long ago, she naturally knew what Devil Fruits were and understood how precious they were.

She truly had not expected Lin Yu to let her eat something so valuable.

"Makino, the way I invited you aboard may have been somewhat disgraceful, but I'm very serious about you."

"So work hard to improve your strength. Don't let down my expectations."

Lin Yu stuffed the Devil Fruit in his hand into Makino's mouth, then reached out and patted her head as he spoke with a smile.

"I-I understand."

Makino pursed her lips and forced herself to swallow the Devil Fruit in her mouth again, then covered her mouth as nausea rose within her.

Seeing Makino like this, Lin Yu smiled and cut off another small piece.

Based on the knowledge related to Authority Training that he had obtained from Charloss,

Lin Yu's method of feeding Devil Fruits could increase Makino and the others' obedience toward him, so he had grown fond of feeding them this way.

Suppressing her nausea, Makino stretched out her neck again and ate the Devil Fruit from Lin Yu's hand.

After gagging several times, the pale-faced Makino finally finished the Devil Fruit in Lin Yu's hand.

Eating a Devil Fruit bit by bit was simply too torturous.

Lin Yu reached out, removed the scarf from Makino's head, and wrapped it around her neck. "This looks much better."

Hearing Lin Yu's praise, Makino could not help blushing.

Perhaps because of the Devil Fruit, Makino felt that Lin Yu seemed to treat her quite well...

"Do you feel anything now?"

Lin Yu looked at Makino and asked curiously.

"It feels like there's something indescribable in my mind."

Makino spoke in confusion. Then, with her right hand, she pulled at the empty air beside her. An Emerald Green Translucent Safe, two meters in length, width, and height, appeared beside her.

Next, she placed her left hand on a vase nearby. The vase vanished and appeared inside the safe, leaving Makino astonished.

"So it really is a storage ability."

Lin Yu smiled. This was an extremely practical ability.

"Let's go take a look at the treasury first. You can continue studying it afterward."

"Mm."

Makino gave a soft acknowledgment, made the safe disappear, and followed behind Lin Yu toward the Goa Kingdom's Kingdom Treasury.

Inside the Kingdom Treasury, Reiju and the others had already gathered all the treasures together and were waiting for Lin Yu's arrival.

"Young Master, look what I found!"

Charloss held a Devil Fruit in both hands and ran excitedly up to Lin Yu to present it to him.

"Very good!"

Lin Yu pinched Charloss's pretty cheek and offered a word of encouragement.

Ding! Charloss's favorability has reached 100. She will be forever loyal to you. Experience feedback doubled.

Charloss grinned, took the opportunity to grab Lin Yu's arm, then happily shot a look at the displeased Anna.

This Devil Fruit had actually been discovered by Anna first, but Charloss had snatched the credit before her.

"This should be a gift that the Goa Kingdom's new king intended to offer to the Celestial Dragons."

Reiju said this from the side, then glanced at Charloss.

Anna beside her did the same.

Only Makino stared at the Special Necklace around Charloss's neck for a long time before remembering that she seemed to be the Celestial Dragon Lin Yu had kidnapped.

Thinking of how Charloss had just eagerly presented a treasure to Lin Yu in hopes of being praised, Makino was utterly dumbfounded.

She could not understand what kind of charm Lin Yu possessed to have trained her into being so utterly obedient.

Charloss directly ignored Reiju and the others' gazes.

To her now, Lin Yu was the Celestial Dragon in her heart.

Hearing the System Prompt, Lin Yu chuckled, cupped Charloss's pretty face, and kissed her, sending her into a state of excitement.

"Makino, use your ability to put all of this away."

Lin Yu turned and gave Makino behind him an order.

"Alright."

Makino nodded, walked over to the pile of treasures that left her somewhat shaken, and began storing all the treasures and money inside the safe.

Though her safe only appeared to be two meters in size, it could hold an enormous amount. Storing the pile of treasure before her was no challenge at all.

After Makino finished storing the treasures, Lin Yu led the women out of the Goa Kingdom's royal palace and headed for the God Slave, where Nojiko was standing guard.

Not long after Lin Yu and the others departed,

the Goa Kingdom discovered that its king had been killed, throwing the entire nation into turmoil.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu had already begun his Swordsmanship lesson with Makino.
