A Promise to Meet Again in the Future

Fisher Tiger asked, somewhat conflicted.

After all, it's obvious to anyone with eyes.

Little Hancock.'s dependence on Lin Yan has probably reached an extremely deep level.

At this moment, Lin Yan suddenly said that she was leaving for more than ten years.

The impact on her was undoubtedly enormous.

But Fisher Tiger was thinking about a different, more practical problem.

Lin Yan has been gone for over a decade. What will happen to Little Hancock?

Lin Yan shook her head helplessly.

"I was just about to tell you this. This child's hometown is Amazon Lily, so I'll have to Fisher Tiger you to take good care of him while I'm away."

As she spoke, Lin Yan sighed again.

Even though the little girl in front of him was the future Empress of Amazon Lily, a powerful Shichibukai.

Even knowing this, Lin Yan certainly wouldn't let Little Hancock grow up unchecked. (Meow Meow said)

After all, we've spent this much time together.

Lin Yan had to admit that the Little Hancock in front of her had already left a mark on her heart.

Lin Yan was definitely worried about leaving without doing anything.

Therefore, the only option is to entrust the care to Fisher Tiger is currently in charge.

"Of course, no problem! You can rest assured, Brother Lin, I'll handle things! But if I remember correctly, men aren't allowed to go to Amazon Lily, right...?"

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Fisher Tiger initially made a very generous promise, but then his expression became somewhat awkward.

After all, Amazon Lily...

ummmmm...

It's definitely troublesome.

"I've already thought it through. Fisher Tiger, all you need to do is go and help Little Hancock when she's in danger. Consider it a safety measure. I'll also leave something for Little Hancock."

"I see, that puts my mind at ease!"

Hearing Lin Yan say that, Fisher Tiger immediately felt relieved.

The strength of this Brother Lin before us is truly unfathomable.

Take what happened before, for example.

Can the average person do that?

Therefore, Fisher Tiger had complete confidence in what Lin Yan wanted to leave for Little Hancock.

It's definitely not something most people can imagine.

What's there to worry about?

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, if Little Hancock were really in mortal danger, wouldn't he still be there?

Even if it costs me my life, I won't let anything happen to her!

I made that promise!

A promise made is a promise kept; that too is a man's romance.

"I trust you to handle things. It's settled then. Little Hancock, go find your two sisters and wait a while. Fisher Tiger and I have something to discuss."

Seeing the determined expression on Fisher Tiger's face, Lin Yan nodded secretly, then smiled and patted Little Hancock's head.

"... Um."

Little Hancock didn't say much, just obediently responded, but her departing figure seemed somewhat sad.

Lin Yan was also helpless about this.

He ultimately didn't belong to this time, so he could only leave the beautiful reunion for the future.

Composing herself, Lin Yan looked at Fisher Tiger in front of her and her expression turned serious.

"Before I leave, I'll do one last thing: those people from the World Government won't cause you any trouble, at least not until they confirm my death."

The very first sentence he uttered caused Fisher Tiger's expression to change drastically.

What could possibly deter World Government from taking action?!

Fisher Tiger looked surprised.

"Brother Lin, calm down! What you've done is already outrageous enough!"

Fisher Tiger could not help but panic.

You should know that the man in front of you is a tough guy who single-handedly stormed into Mary Geoise and even managed to escape unscathed after threatening the Five Elders.

Who knows what he's planning to do next?!

Fisher Tiger wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

However, Lin Yan only gave a cold smile in response to Fisher Tiger's panicked expression.

"Even if I don't consider all that, I at least have to think about my crew members and Little Hancock. I don't want those bastards from the World Government to do anything good when I get back."

"Therefore, this deterrent effect is absolutely necessary!"

Lin Yan paused slightly at this point.

"Or do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know their place?"

"..."

Fisher Tiger fell silent.

After a long pause, he nodded heavily.

"Understood. What do you need me to do?"

"Just like always~"

Lin Yan suddenly laughed.

"For the next ten years or so, all you need to do is strive to become stronger and take good care of Little Hancock. I'll handle the rest."

Although he had expected this outcome, Fisher Tiger still couldn't help but give a bitter smile after hearing Lin Yan's words.

"Looks like we're still not strong enough..."

"You can't say that. I'm really looking forward to seeing you again in more than ten years, and I hope you'll give me a big surprise."

Lin Yan smiled and patted Fisher Tiger on the shoulder.

The man before me is hailed as a hero!

If it weren't for his tragic early departure.

Who could have known that Fisher Tiger would have been a great man in his own time?

At least Lin Yan felt that there was a good chance!

Beyond his noble character, Fisher Tiger also possesses a resilient spirit.

With this kind of mentality, he will definitely not be a weakling!

Otherwise, Lin Yan wouldn't have had the idea of recruiting Fisher Tiger.

You should know that he has always had very high standards.

"Haha, looks like I'll have to give it my all!"

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Fisher Tiger immediately broke into a hearty smile, and at the same time, he secretly made up his mind.

I will not let this trust and expectation down!

At least when we meet again, I absolutely cannot let this mysterious Brother Lin down!

"Then it's settled. See you again in more than ten years!"

Ah, see you again in more than ten years!

The two men exchanged a smile, and then the same hearty expression appeared on their faces.

This scene.

Perhaps this marks the beginning of a new era...

One week later, in the East Blue.

"Brother Lin, we've delivered the last batch of slaves to the East Blue, and we're about to set sail for the West Blue... Actually, you don't need to keep following us."

Fisher Tiger scratched his head helplessly and walked over to Lin Yan, saying...

However, Lin Yan remained noncommittal about this.

"It's nothing, really? I don't have much to do lately anyway, so I'll just treat it as traveling with you guys. Besides..."

Lin Yan paused, about to say something, when Sandersonia suddenly walked over from the other side.

"Sir, do you have some time now?"
