Do You Want It or Not?

"How can you fly too?"

Charloss said nothing. Taking advantage of Mikita's astonishment, she swooped down and kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying off the God Slave and straight toward the sea.

The Battle Suits she and Anna wore were originally just the backless maid outfits on their bodies, so there was no need to activate them separately.

Splash!

Mikita fell into the sea, but instead of sinking, she floated on the surface.

The moment she fell into the water, she altered her own weight and used buoyancy to keep herself afloat.

Like a little bird that had accidentally fallen into the water, unable to fly away or sink.

"I actually lost."

"And I was defeated in one move again."

"And she's just a little maid who's only trained for a little over a month..."

Mikita floated on the surface, muttering in disbelief.

Being instantly defeated twice in a single day had drained the light from the eyes of the ever-proud Mikita.

"She seems pretty badly shaken."

Lin Yu rubbed his chin as he looked at Mikita floating on the sea, neither struggling nor calling for help, as if she had lost all signs of life.

"Should we pull her up?"

Charloss asked from beside him.

"No."

"You two should go to sleep first. I'll keep an eye on her."

After saying that, Lin Yu held Charloss's pretty face and kissed her on the lips.

Charloss blushed deeply and pursed her lips. She knew this was Young Master's reward for winning the duel.

"Young Master, what about me? Me too."

Anna stared at Lin Yu with an expectant look.

Lin Yu chuckled and kissed Anna on the forehead as well.

After sending Charloss and Anna away,

Lin Yu looked at the lifeless Mikita in the sea and smiled. "What, you still don't plan to come up?"

"Leave me alone. Just let me die."

She could not even beat a little maid who had trained for barely over a month. Mikita truly felt like dying.

"Is that so?" Lin Yu nodded in understanding, then continued, "I actually wanted to tell you that there seems to be some black shadow swimming beneath you."

A black shadow swimming beneath me...

A black shadow...

Swimming...

Floating atop the sea and ready to drift with the waves, Mikita blankly considered the meaning behind Lin Yu's words.

Then she felt something brush against her foot, and images of tentacled sea monsters and sharks' bloody jaws involuntarily appeared in her mind...

The more she thought about it, the more she shuddered, her scalp going numb.

Because something touched her foot again—and even stroked it...

"Aah!!!"

A heart-rending scream tore through the night sky and carried into the distance.

"Save me! Save me!"

Mikita struggled desperately on the sea, tears pouring from her eyes as she repeatedly begged Lin Yu for help.

Seeing Mikita in such a pitiful state, Lin Yu covered his face and secretly laughed.

Because he had been using the ship's ropes to scare Mikita.

Only after Mikita had been frightened enough did Lin Yu use the ropes to haul her aboard.

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

Mikita lay over the railing, dry-heaving continuously. It was an extreme reaction caused by being scared too badly.

"A bet is a bet. From now on, you'll have to listen to me."

Lin Yu grinned at the pale-faced Mikita.

"Tch. Fine, I'll listen to you."

Mikita glared at Lin Yu before continuing, "But if you want me to listen to you, you have to find a way to make me stronger!"

Being instantly defeated twice in one day bothered Mikita greatly.

If Lin Yu could make her stronger, she would not mind following his arrangements.

In Mikita's eyes, since Lin Yu could train a maid to surpass her, he could naturally train her to surpass that bitch named Reiju.

"Sure."

Lin Yu nodded without hesitation.

He would not keep useless people on his ship.

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

Lin Yu invited Mikita to join him.

"I am." Mikita nodded readily.

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

"Lookout."

Lin Yu had long arranged a position for Mikita.

The Light-Heavy Fruit, which allowed her to float, was perfectly suited for the Lookout position.

Then several ship's ropes dropped down and wrapped around Mikita's hands and feet.

"W-What are you doing?"

Seeing her limbs bound, Mikita asked in astonishment.

"Making you stronger..."

Lin Yu pinched Mikita's pretty face and smiled.

"W-What if I regret it?"

Turning her head aside and trying to hold herself together, Mikita felt like she had boarded a pirate ship.

Then she suddenly noticed something. She stared fixedly at Lin Yu's face as an image surfaced in her mind.

It was the photograph of Lin Yu on the Wanted Poster.

Mikita's pupils contracted as she exclaimed in shock, "Y-You're that God Slayer!"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

She only recognized me now? This girl's a little slow.

"I'm the God Slayer you mentioned. The one who just defeated you was Shalria, the Celestial Dragon I kidnapped."

"Well? Do you regret boarding my ship now?"

"Too bad you can't take it back anymore."

Lin Yu patted Mikita's pretty face, speaking with a grin.

"Your Bounty is 1.5 Billion?" Mikita asked blankly.

"Yeah." Lin Yu nodded.

1.5 Billion! Her own 7.5 million Berries Bounty was not even worth mentioning in front of his.

Hearing this, Mikita looked at Lin Yu's handsome face and suddenly realized that he was actually quite handsome. Being his woman did not seem like such a loss...

Well, mainly because that 1.5 Billion Bounty on him was simply too dazzling. And he even looked younger than her—his future potential was limitless.

Thinking of this, Mikita suddenly felt a little moved.

Splash!

A burst of water erupted as a huge octopus-like Giant Sea King suddenly appeared beside the railing where Lin Yu and Mikita stood, successfully drawing both of their attention.

"Was this monster the one touching me just now?"

Seeing the gigantic Sea King waving its tentacles, Mikita shuddered, and every hair on her body stood on end.

Before this Giant Sea King, Mikita felt as small as a shrimp.

Actually, that was me.

Lin Yu muttered inwardly. He raised his eyes toward the Sea King before him and said coldly, "Get lost!"

The instant he spoke, Lin Yu's Conqueror's Haki erupted, immediately intimidating the Giant Sea King that had just appeared.

Splash!

The next second, the octopus-like Giant Sea King waved its tentacles and quickly dove into the sea, fleeing the area.

"S-So amazing..."

Miqi stared blankly at Lin Yu, whose domineering presence overflowed from him.

Since she could not beat him anyway, becoming his woman seemed like the only choice...

After finding herself an excuse, Mikita closed her eyes and nervously took the initiative to press her lips toward Lin Yu's.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Yu pulled away from Mikita and looked at her with a grin.

The tables had turned!

Mikita blushed at his question and said coquettishly, "You just tell me whether you want it or not."
