With a soft shout from Lin Yu, Vegapunk, who had been screaming in midair, vanished instantly.
When Vegapunk reappeared, he was already beside Lin Yu.
"Is this... the power of the Op-Op Fruit?"
The moment Vegapunk landed, he seemed to have forgotten the danger he had just experienced. Instead, he immediately crowded up beside Lin Yu, his eyes blazing as he stared fixedly at him.
The heat in his gaze made Lin Yu feel the hairs on his body stand on end.
If a beautiful woman were looking at him like that, Lin Yu might have enjoyed it. But now that it was a little old man, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"That's right, it's the power of the Op-Op Fruit!"
Still, seeing the longing in Vegapunk's little eyes, Lin Yu ultimately nodded twice in quick succession.
However, after confirming Vegapunk's guess, Lin Yu subtly took a step back.
"The ultimate Devil Fruit... Wonderful! I've wanted to study it for a long time, sir...!"
"Stop right there. We'll talk about that later!"
Lin Yu's face twitched slightly, and his body shuddered unnaturally.
The moment Vegapunk opened his mouth, Lin Yu already understood what he meant.
Then, for some reason, a terrifying image surfaced in Lin Yu's mind: himself lying in an operating room while the little old man before him used countless tools to cut and carve him up.
Lin Yu involuntarily shuddered again, a strange look appearing in his eyes. He quickly waved his hand, telling Vegapunk to abandon that idea.
He would rather fight Beast King right now than lie on an operating table and be studied.
"Sir...!"
Vegapunk still refused to give up. He moved closer to Lin Yu, the heat in his eyes nearly enough to burn him to ashes. Helplessness flashed through Lin Yu's eyes
