Slave Fighting Tournament, Opportunity Arrived

Lin Yan explained with a hint of helplessness.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he also had various concerns on his side.

His appearance goes without saying.

There exists a special state called "Faceless Appearance".

Even Lin Yan couldn't do anything about it.

As for the name...

Although it wasn't a big deal, Lin Yan decided to keep it a secret for the time being, just to be on the safe side.

You should know that you're still quite famous.

Lin Yan wasn't sure if telling Little Hancock her name here would cause any strange changes when she returned.

Although the system has stated that the world will automatically correct the effects of the Lin Yan.

But it's not absolutely true...

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yan felt it was better to be a little more cautious.

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Little Hancock's expression clearly showed some disappointment.

However, he didn't blame Lin Yan.

She knew that the older brother in front of her must have his reasons for not telling her, and as a well-behaved and sensible girl, Little Hancock wouldn't force him.

"Big brother, when will we meet again?"

Little Hancock quickly composed himself and looked at Lin Yan somewhat hesitantly.

Although she is still young, she is already very smart.

From Lin Yan's words about being on duty, Little Hancock keenly realized that the older brother in front of her would probably leave her soon.

Although reluctant to part, Little Hancock did not try to stop him.

She was just a little concerned about when they could see each other again.

"Little Hancock, sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing..."

Lin Yan couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

"I can't guarantee when we'll meet again... but I can make a promise with you that when we meet again, I will tell you everything."

Lin Yan spoke very seriously.

He couldn't guarantee when he would see Little Hancock again.

After all, he had to remember that he had traveled back more than a decade, and he would have matters to attend to regarding the Whitebeard Pirates once he returned.

However, in the normal timeline, Lin Yan wouldn't mind saying goodbye to Little Hancock.

"I see..."

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, a pitiful expression appeared on Little Hancock's face, as if she was about to cry, but she managed to hold it back.

She didn't want to be a burden to Lin Yan.

Little Hancock has made up her mind that when it's time to say goodbye, she will definitely say goodbye with a smile.

But before that...

"Then... big brother, can you promise me something?"

Little Hancock looked at Lin Yan pitifully.

Since parting is inevitable, we should at least leave something behind.

That's what Little Hancock thought.

"Of course, that's fine."

Seeing the sad expression on Little Hancock's face, Lin Yan felt a pang of sympathy and readily nodded.

"That..."

Little Hancock sniffed, then reached down and took off one of her earrings.

It was an ornament that looked like a snake, made of some unknown material.

Little Hancock handed one of the earrings to Lin Yan.

"I won't stop you from leaving, but... if you want to see me, you must wear this earring when you come to me. Then I'll recognize you at a glance."

Fighting back the urge to cry, Little Hancock said this.

"... I see."

Lin Yan nodded, then carefully put the earring away.

The original Boa Hancock.

To him, she was just a character in a comic book; although he had some affection for her, she wasn't important to him at all.

At most, they were just a little curious about her title as the world's most beautiful woman.

But without a doubt.

The situation has now changed.

She met Boa Hancock from this time and made a promise.

Then Lin Yan will definitely abide by it.

Seeing Lin Yan solemnly accept the earring, Little Hancock smiled again, as if to avoid causing Lin Yan any trouble, and his smile returned.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yan felt both heartache and helplessness.

The next few days flew by.

That day, as Lin Yan and Little Hancock were observing Mary Geoise from the sky as usual, Lin Yan suddenly frowned.

Mary Geoise is bustling with activity today.

Not only the arrogant Celestial Dragons, but even their servants had a gleam of excitement in their eyes.

It seems like some kind of event is about to take place?

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

I must say, they're really in high spirits...

The chaos from before had barely subsided, yet they were already starting activities as if nothing had happened. Lin Yan didn't know whether to praise the Celestial Dragons for their audacity or despise them for being as utterly oblivious to danger as pigs.

They've been sitting in the position of the World Nobles for too long.

Perhaps she's lost her mind?

However, that's still true.

Lin Yan's intuition told him that this might be the opportunity she had been waiting for.

"Little Hancock, it's time to get started."

Thinking of this, Lin Yan immediately turned her head and called out to Little Hancock.

"Big brother, is it okay now?"

Upon hearing this, Little Hancock immediately put down the dishes he was cleaning and ran towards Lin Yan.

Clearly, she still cares deeply about her younger sister.

"It's pretty close to the truth."

Lin Yan chuckled and narrowed her eyes.

Whatever tricks these Celestial Dragons are up to, it's a golden opportunity for me. After all, it's common knowledge that people's vigilance tends to drop when they're enjoying themselves.

Moreover, the chaos of the past few days has just occurred. According to conventional thinking, the CP agents must think that he is hiding somewhere, and they would never expect that he would dare to stay in Mary Geoise so openly!

"Then I'll go get ready!"

Upon hearing this, Little Hancock's face lit up with joy, and he immediately ran off to prepare things for Lin Yan, acting like a devoted and attentive wife...

Before long, Lin Yan controlled the clouds and silently led Little Hancock close to Mary Geoise.

Then, when Lin Yan saw the huge banner that the servants had set up, her expression immediately darkened.

"Slave Fighting Tournament?"

"..."

Although she had already lowered the Celestial Dragons ' standards countless times, seeing this scene still made Lin Yan's mood suddenly sour.

Along with that, some unpleasant scenes also came to mind.

As for the consequences that upset Lin Yan... Meow Meow said...

"Looks like we need to teach these scum a lesson they'll never forget."
