Target: Whiskey Peak

Grand Line.

Twin Cape.

To Lin Yu, the only people in the East Blue worth bringing aboard were Kaya, Nojiko, and Makino.

At this time, Tashigi had already headed to the Grand Line and was no longer in Loguetown.

So Lin Yu did not hesitate. He directly led the women through Reverse Mountain and arrived at Twin Cape.

"Wow, that whale is huge."

Standing at the bow, Kaya looked at the distant Laboon and exclaimed.

After the initial period of adjustment, Kaya had already adapted to life aboard Lin Yu's ship.

"It's an island whale. Of course it's huge."

Nojiko stood beside Kaya and explained.

Since Laboon currently had his body raised, with his tail facing the God Slave, Kaya, Nojiko, and the others did not notice the Straw Hat Pirate Crew emblem on Laboon's head.

Of course, Lin Yu actually hoped they would notice it. That way, he might get to see some interesting expressions on Kaya and the others' faces.

God Slayer Lin Yu!

Crocus, the lighthouse keeper of Twin Cape, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Yu's face.

As someone who read the newspaper every day, he knew very well what Lin Yu's name and 1.5 Billion bounty represented.

"That person actually has flower petals on his head."

Kaya whispered to Nojiko.

Although it was not good to talk about someone behind his back, she was still rather surprised. It was a sight she had never seen before.

"His name is Crocus. He used to be the ship's doctor of the Roger Pirate Crew."

Lin Yu took a sip of the cold drink Charloss had prepared and spoke casually.

This damned weather was simply too hot.

"What?"

"That old man was actually the ship's doctor of the Roger Pirate Crew?"

Kaya and Nojiko were stunned. Even Reiju, Makino, Anna, and the others, who were resting in the shade nearby, were shocked.

That was the Roger Pirate Crew, the crew of the former Pirate King.

Many people in that crew were legendary figures.

Who would have thought that the old man before them was such an important figure?

Kaya thought in shock. Then she looked at Lin Yu expectantly. "Big Brother Lin Yu, I want to ask him to teach me medicine."

After spending some time together, and seeing Lin Yu rescue a merchant ship and several towns from pirates, Kaya had come to understand that Lin Yu was not some utterly wicked villain. On the contrary, he was quite righteous and extraordinarily capable.

Well, aside from his little flaw of liking to steal wives.

"Kiss me once."

Lin Yu smiled and pointed to his cheek.

Kaya's face reddened slightly. She moved close to Lin Yu and kissed him.

They had already gone all the way anyway, so a kiss was no big deal.

Kaya thought to herself.

"Mwah, I want a really powerful Devil Fruit."

Nojiko also moved close to Lin Yu, kissed him hard, and spoke with an expectant expression.

"A really powerful Devil Fruit, huh?"

"Then you'll have to kiss me again."

Lin Yu immediately raised the price.

Now that they had arrived at the Grand Line, the chances of encountering Pirate Crews with Devil Fruits were much greater. Besides, Lin Yu already had a target in mind for Nojiko's Devil Fruit.

"Mwah, mwah, mwah!"

Nojiko was delighted to hear Lin Yu's words. She immediately hugged him and began kissing him all over.

"Enough, enough."

Lin Yu peeled Nojiko off himself when she refused to get down, then wiped the saliva off his face with a look of disgust.

He felt like he was not taking advantage of Nojiko at all. Instead, she was the one taking advantage of him.

"Hehehe."

"Hahaha."

Seeing Lin Yu's expression, Nojiko giggled. Kaya, Charloss, and the others beside them also burst into laughter.

"I'll deal with you later."

After leaving behind that threat, Lin Yu took Kaya and Makino away from the bow. Carried by the wind, they arrived at the shore by the lighthouse. Looking at Crocus, he smiled and said:

"Flower Grandpa, my little ship's doctor wants to learn some medical skills from you. Do you have any conditions?"

Kaya blushed when she heard Lin Yu call her "little ship's doctor." She said to Crocus:

"Flower Grandpa, if you're unwilling, just pretend we never asked."

Not only did he possess the strength of a Great Swordsman and the ability of Ship Control, he even had wind-based abilities?

This young man truly was not simple!

Crocus looked at the airflow swirling around Lin Yu, then recalled the descriptions of him in the newspaper. He narrowed his eyes before turning around and returning to the lighthouse.

Not long after, Crocus came out carrying a huge stack of books.

"These are all my Medical Notes. They should be able to help you."

"Take them and leave. Don't disturb this old man's rest."

After saying that, Crocus returned beneath the sunshade beside the lighthouse and lay down on his recliner.

"Thank you, Flower Grandpa."

Kaya thanked Crocus repeatedly in delight, then looked at Makino. "Sister Makino, please."

"Mm." Makino nodded, walked over to the pile of books, and stored them all in the Storage Cabinet.

That ability was rather convenient.

Crocus raised a brow when he saw Makino's ability.

As Roger's ship's doctor, he knew very well how important Makino's ability was to a Pirate Crew.

Many Pirate Crews were not captured by the Marines or killed by enemies. Instead, they exhausted the supplies aboard their ships before reaching the next island, then starved and died of thirst.

Therefore, Makino's ability to store items was extremely important to every Pirate Crew.

"Flower Grandpa, thank you."

Kaya thanked Crocus once more before returning to the God Slave under Lin Yu's lead.

"Let's go. Our target is Whiskey Peak."

After returning to the God Slave, Lin Yu raised the sails again and headed toward his destination.

As a vessel of the Celestial Dragons, the God Slave had been used by them to travel the world. It carried Eternal Poses for most of the islands in the Grand Line.

Therefore, the God Slave had always possessed Eternal Poses for places like Alabasta and Whiskey Peak, so there was no need to delay now.

This trip to Alabasta was not only to "bring" Vivi aboard.

The few Devil Fruits held by Baroque Works were also among Lin Yu's targets.

Lin Yu felt that the Bomb Fruit owned by the Booger Man was very suitable for Nojiko.

Moreover, MISS Valentine Mikita, MISS Double Finger Sarah, and MISS Goldenweek Marianne were all targets Lin Yu wanted as crew members.

Whiskey Peak had a Baroque Works base and intelligence network.

Therefore, Lin Yu planned to go there and investigate the whereabouts of those people.

According to the original story.

After Crocodile was defeated by the protagonist's group, all the members were captured.

Only MISS Goldenweek, MISS Valentine, and the Bomb Man, who had previously been defeated at Little Garden, escaped disaster.

Afterward, the three of them secretly entered the prison and successfully rescued everyone except Crocodile, Daz, Bon Clay, and 3. Then they opened a Coffee Shop in a desert.

Only by finding the base where those people ran their Coffee Shop could Lin Yu capture Mikita and the others in one sweep, upgrade his Pirate Crew to level two, and unlock more functions and positions.

The only problem was that Lin Yu did not know how far MISS Goldenweek had progressed by now, so he planned to visit Whiskey Peak first.

Not long after.

Led by the Eternal Pose, Lin Yu's God Slave spotted two enormous cactus-covered peaks.
