This is probably the first time since the two of them met.

Little Hancock yelled at Lin Yan.

Her big eyes were also filled with tears.

"I don't care! Big brother, you have to come with me. Even if we're being chased, I'll stay with you!"

"This is what I owe you!"

"With all my might," Little Hancock cried out.

This is the killing of a Celestial Dragons!

Little Hancock had no doubt that once this was discovered, she would face endless pursuit, with no end in sight until she died.

Not to mention, he also has two younger sisters here now.

With just a little investigation, it would be easy to trace back to these two people, and even implicate oneself.

Unless... someone takes the blame.

Lin Yan is doing exactly that!

If Lin Yan were to step forward, their situation could easily be reduced to a few slaves who ran away out of fear, and no one would care about the crime of killing Celestial Dragons.

In Little Hancock's eyes, Lin Yan was sacrificing her life for her, and would then face endless pursuit afterward. How could she possibly allow that?

"Yes, sir, why don't you reconsider?"

"If all else fails, let's run away together, otherwise neither Boa Hancock nor we will forgive ourselves."

Marigold and Sandersonia couldn't help but chime in as well.

Generally speaking, that's definitely true.

However, Lin Yan looked at the three girls in front of her with utter helplessness.

"Uh... well, it's not as serious as you think."

Lin Yan couldn't help but scratch her head.

After all, from the very beginning, he wasn't afraid of being hunted down at all.

I am not a real person at this point in time.

After killing the Celestial Dragons, they simply packed their bags and left.

That would be a span of more than a decade.

Looking for yourself?

Find a fool!

Not to mention the special state of Faceless Appearance, it's even less likely that anything will go wrong.

"I don't believe it!"

However, seeing that Lin Yan was still stubbornly sticking to her own opinion, Little Hancock immediately glared at Lin Yan angrily.

"We'll die together!"

"We're just like Boa Hancock."

"..."

There's no logic to it.

Faced with the three incredibly stubborn girls in front of her, Lin Yan was at her wits' end, wanting to explain but not knowing where to begin.

He was just taking the blame for something, and that's how Little Hancock ended up.

If I told her I'd be leaving soon and wouldn't show up for over a decade...

hiss.

Lin Yan didn't even dare to imagine that scene.

Left with no other choice, Lin Yan had to resort to the simplest and most effective method.

Bang!

Suddenly, without warning, Lin Yan raised her hand and lightly chopped Little Hancock's neck.

Little Hancock. was quite accommodating, and was promptly knocked unconscious.

"..."

Seeing this, Marigold and Sandersonia, who were standing nearby, both took a step back, their little faces turning pale.

"Don't make that face, I'm not some kind of devil."

Lin Yan shrugged.

"Boa Hancock is emotionally unstable right now. Let her calm down. The most important thing right now is to get out of here as quickly as possible, or things will get complicated."

As she spoke, Lin Yan paused slightly.

"You don't want us all to be discovered, right? Let's get out of here first, we'll talk about the rest later."

"... We understand."

The two girls exchanged a glance, then nodded silently.

Ultimately...

Regardless of who ultimately sacrifices themselves, the priority is to ensure that the others are not discovered, right?

So, there's not much to say about what happened after that.

With Lin Yan's Devil Fruit ability having been developed to an almost abnormal level, the four of them easily left Mary Geoise.

Before long, they appeared on a small boat that Lin Yan had prepared in advance, which was now moored in front of a hidden cave.

"Thank you so much, you saved the lives of all three of us... But one thing is one thing, let me handle the rest."

Looking at Lin Yan in front of her, a resolute look flashed across Sandersonia's face.

Clearly, they still remember what happened before.

However, she miscalculated this time.

"Take good care of Little Hancock. I'm going back to Mary Geoise to take care of some things. I should be back around this time tomorrow."

Lin Yan completely ignored Sandersonia.

Previously, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, it was not advisable to take direct action for the safety of the three.

But it's out now.

To be honest, isn't it ultimately up to oneself to decide?

They're not Fisher Tiger; they can't possibly climb the Red Line with their bare hands, can they?

Even if they really wanted to climb, they'd probably be finished before they even reached the foot of the Red Line.

And so, under the stunned gazes of Sandersonia and Marigold...

Lin Yan simply revealed a wicked smile on her face, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

"..."

The two of them stared blankly at the scene.

It took a long while before he finally came to his senses.

I've been scammed!

but...

"Boa Hancock, you're so lucky!"

Marigold couldn't help but sigh softly, as could Sandersonia.

"I really don't know how to thank that person enough..."

Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.

After shamelessly deceiving Little Hancock's two sisters, Lin Yan returned to the scene of the crime in no time.

"Ah, he's dead."

Looking at the Celestial Dragons who had become a corpse in front of her, Lin Yan clicked her tongue.

This was somewhat expected.

After all, I hadn't held back at all, and I had dragged things out with the three sisters for a long time without getting any treatment, so it's not surprising that this guy died.

That's letting him off too easily...

Then the next question is quite simple.

What should I do with this?

Now one of the Celestial Dragons has died.

Lin Yan has three things to handle properly.

Firstly, by taking all the blame upon himself and completely clearing Little Hancock and the others of suspicion, he would definitely need to go out and make his presence felt.

Secondly, considering his own displeasure, he wanted to at least make sure the Celestial Dragons were also in a bad mood, ideally causing their blood pressure to spike, leading to their sudden death and ascension to the afterlife.

Thirdly, and most importantly, this matter must not be allowed to spread widely, lest it cause strange consequences upon returning. Ideally, only a small group of people should know about it, and the news should be suppressed.

Lin Yan stroked her chin, lost in thought.

Meeting these three conditions is neither particularly difficult nor particularly easy.

"There's no other way, it seems we have no choice but to go find those old guys."
