Nojiko on the Offensive

Lin Yu sat at the desk in the captain's quarters, flipping through today's newspaper.

As long as he brought Vivi aboard, he could set out directly to find the Straw Hat Crew and snatch away Nami and Robin.

Although Lin Yu knew the future plot, he was also afraid that his appearance might cause some butterfly effect and alter the Straw Hat Crew's course.

That was why he needed to check the news every day to keep track of the Straw Hat Crew's latest movements.

Besides, reading the news every day was also an important way for him to understand the world, allowing him to learn the exact locations of his future targets.

At the same time, it let him better identify Devil Fruit users who appeared, making it easier to find chances to plunder their Devil Fruit abilities.

"Hehe, has the big-eater Jewelry Bonney already appeared?"

"I'll come find you after I take Nami and Robin."

Lin Yu smiled faintly as he looked at Bonney's gorgeous photograph in the newspaper.

Bonney's Devil Fruit ability, which allowed her to freely switch her body between that of an adult and a child, would surely have its own unique appeal.

Click!

"Lin Yu..."

Wrapped in a long robe, Nojiko opened the door to the captain's quarters and walked in. She squeezed herself into Lin Yu's office chair, then reached out and traced circles over his chest.

Lin Yu chuckled and shifted to the side, turning to look at the sunset glow over the sea beyond the window.

Nojiko was probably here to ask him for a Devil Fruit again.

Although Lin Yu had already decided to give Mr.5's Bomb Fruit to Nojiko, he still wanted to see what tricks she had prepared.

After all, the techniques Nojiko had learned from Makino last time had polished his sword until it gleamed.

The next moment, Nojiko wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's neck, turned his face back toward her, and said:

"I heard you obtained three Devil Fruits today..."

Lin Yu looked at Nojiko's pretty face and smiled.

"That's right. One of them is the Paramecia Bomb Fruit. It has tremendous combat power."

Nojiko's eyes immediately lit up at those words.

The Bomb Fruit—just hearing the name made it sound incredibly powerful!

I have to get this Devil Fruit.

With that thought, Nojiko rose from the chair, walked to the door, and locked it.

Then she turned back toward Lin Yu, her pretty face flushed and her eyes brimming with allure.

"I just learned a dance."

Whoosh!

Nojiko yanked off the robe draped around her, revealing her sexy figure in a red dancer's outfit.

Lin Yu's breath caught. The colors on Nojiko's body, paired with her graceful figure, seemed to possess an indescribable charm.

"Hehe~~"

Seeing Lin Yu's expression, Nojiko gave a soft laugh. She had achieved the effect she wanted.

The colors on her clothes had been painted by Golden Week Marianne herself. They had a seductive effect that could amplify Lin Yu's primal desires.

Then Nojiko began to sway her waist and spin gently according to the Alabasta dance she had learned, occasionally approaching Lin Yu to tease him.

Damn!

What old cadre could withstand a test like this?

After being teased a few times, Lin Yu cried that he could not take it anymore and directly activated the hungry wolf pouncing on prey skill.

"Are you really going to eat this Devil Fruit?"

After the storm had passed, Lin Yu sat in the chair with a Devil Fruit in hand, smiling at Nojiko.

"Mm, I want to become stronger as soon as possible."

Nojiko sat on the carpet by Lin Yu's feet and nodded without hesitation.

"Alright, then."

"Open your mouth."

Lin Yu cut off a small piece of the Devil Fruit and held it out to Nojiko.

Nojiko caught it with her mouth, instantly furrowing her brows and covering her mouth.

"Ugh... it tastes awful."

She had long heard that Devil Fruits tasted bad, but she had not expected them to be this awful.

"You have to finish all of it."

Lin Yu grinned wickedly as he watched Nojiko's expression, as though she were being tortured.

Nojiko's face fell at his words. Enduring the nausea, she swallowed another small piece of Devil Fruit that Lin Yu offered her.

If it were not for becoming stronger, she would never eat something so disgusting.

"I finally finished it."

The moment she finished the Devil Fruit, Nojiko let out a sigh of relief.

Lin Yu smiled when he saw Nojiko's expression.

Making Nojiko finish the Devil Fruit was not only due to his wicked sense of amusement—it was also to increase her favorability.

During the time Nojiko had been eating the Devil Fruit, her favorability toward him had risen sharply.

Cradling Nojiko's pretty face, Lin Yu smiled and said:

"Nojiko, are you willing to join my Pirate Crew and become my subordinate?"

"Hadn't I already joined your Pirate Crew?"

Nojiko froze.

Lin Yu smiled. "It's called a sense of ceremony. Like wedding vows, asking whether you're willing to marry me."

M-Marriage...

The moment Nojiko heard Lin Yu's words, her face flushed scarlet. She nodded shyly.

"I'm willing."

Whether Nojiko's nod meant she was willing to become Lin Yu's subordinate or willing to become his bride, only she knew.

Ding! Nojiko has joined the crew. Please choose Nojiko's Crew Position.

Ding! A bond with Nojiko has been successfully formed. Obtained the other party's ability: Bomb Human.

Ding! Nojiko's favorability has reached 100. The other party will be forever loyal to you. Feedback experience doubled.

Ding...

Seeing the several notifications appear before him, Lin Yu smiled.

Nojiko joining the crew had not only given him the Bomb Fruit ability, but also directly maxed out her favorability, maximizing the feedback benefits. It was quite a gain.

"Combatant."

Nojiko was bold, passionate, and daring, making her highly suited for the position of combatant.

Besides, with the Bomb Fruit's ability, it would truly be a waste not to make her a combatant.

"You can rest here tonight."

"I'll go check on those people in the prison."

Lin Yu carried Nojiko to the bed in the inner room of his captain's quarters, stroking her pretty face as he spoke.

It was already late at night, time to rest.

"Mm."

With the blanket pulled over herself so that only her eyes were exposed, Nojiko nodded obediently.

Bearing all the firepower alone had truly exhausted her.

"Good night."

Lin Yu kissed Nojiko on the forehead, turned off the light, and left.

"Marriage..."

Nojiko touched the spot on her forehead where he had kissed her, secretly delighted as she rolled around excitedly on Lin Yu's bed.

She tossed and turned for half an hour before the surging drowsiness finally overwhelmed her, and she fell into a deep sleep.

God Slave prison level.

The God Slave's prison had been converted from the rooms on one level. Each room contained a cage that occupied half the space and was mixed with Sea Stone.

Lin Yu opened one prison cell and saw MISS Valentine Mikita locked inside the cage.

Among the women of Baroque Works, Mikita was Lin Yu's favorite.

She had a beautiful face and a tall figure. If her Light-Heavy Fruit ability was developed properly, it also had great potential.

Her "Yahahahaha" laugh was truly addictive as well.

Moreover, she was arrogant, conceited, and proud—truly perfect for Lin Yu to tame.

When MISS Valentine Mikita saw Lin Yu, she kicked the cage and snarled through gritted teeth:

"You bastard, let me out right now!"
