No, I Need to Find a Way to Steal Him Away

Sandersonia looked at Ain with some surprise.

No matter how you look at it... aren't these two a little too close?!

Sandersonia, of course, did not recognize Ain.

After all, Ain hasn't made a name for himself on the high seas yet. Even with the strength of a swordsman, he's practically invisible in a place Whitebeard Pirates, where monsters abound.

"Snort."

Hearing her younger sister's question, Boa Hancock couldn't help but snort.

"Her name is Ain, and she's Lin's current... girlfriend."

Boa Hancock said this through gritted teeth, extremely annoyed, but there was nothing she could do about it at the moment.

"... Girlfriend?"

Sandersonia and Marigold were both stunned.

Is this even possible?!

Putting everything else aside, they were very clear about their sister Boa Hancock's feelings for Lin Yan, and naturally they also knew just how irritable Boa Hancock was right now.

How can you not be irritable?

After all, the person he had waited for over a decade to reappear had brought his girlfriend with him?

ummmmm...

To be honest, the two even found it rather strange that Boa Hancock hadn't flipped the table yet.

"Ahem, I see, um..."

Sandersonia was sweating profusely. She glanced nervously at Boa Hancock, then could only manage an awkward smile at Lin Yan and Ain.

"How about I take you both to get some rooms to rest first?"

"I need one."

Then, under Lin Yan's somewhat surprised gaze, as soon as Sandersonia finished speaking, Ain took over the conversation without hesitation.

I need one!

As everyone knows, we're a couple now, so it's perfectly reasonable for us to spend some time together in a room, right?

Click----!

Almost the instant the words left her lips, the floor beneath Boa Hancock's feet cracked open.

Of course I was angry!

So annoying!

I can't keep smiling at all!

Boa Hancock's eyes darkened completely. If she could, she really wanted to rush up and throw this despicable woman out of the palace!

However, Ain merely glanced at Boa Hancock indifferently.

"Your Majesty, you wouldn't be so petty, would you?"

"... I've got it."

Boa Hancock was practically laughing in exasperation!

However, given Lin Yan's presence, she couldn't easily make a scene. She could only glare at Ain with intense anger before turning to look at Sandersonia beside her.

"Sonia, please."

"Yes..."

Beads of cold sweat streamed down Sandersonia's forehead. She could only nod stiffly before leaving with Ain and Lin Yan.

There's no way around it, you can tell just by looking at her that my Boa Hancock sister is in a bad mood right now.

Sandersonia dared not provoke them.

It would be best to slip away first.

Even Marigold on the other side noticed something was wrong. Before Boa Hancock could give any instructions, she quickly followed her sister and ran away.

Soon, Boa Hancock was the only one left in the palace.

He was looking down, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, the journey on the other side went very smoothly. Before long, the two sisters brought Lin Yan and Ain to a luxurious room.

"Then we won't disturb you any longer."

Sandersonia was sweating profusely.

To be honest.

She has absolutely no idea what the relationship is between these people.

With the core idea that the more you talk, the faster you die, Sandersonia didn't waste any words. After saying this to the two of them, she left without looking back.

Lin Yan and Ain entered the room.

As soon as they entered the room, Lin Yan picked up Ain and held her in her arms, her face full of annoyance.

"So? What exactly happened? This isn't like you at all!"

Lin Yan asked Ain with a hint of helplessness.

In normal times, Ain is quite approachable.

Because of this personality, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates had a very good impression of Ain. Not only was she very calm and elegant, but she also never fought or competed for anything.

Although it doesn't have a particularly prominent presence.

However, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates genuinely considered Ain as one of their own.

Gaining the approval of those guys is no easy feat.

But what's going on now?

Since meeting Boa Hancock, Ain's condition has been noticeably off. Not only does she exude a more confrontational aura, but her actions have also become much more aggressive than usual.

"It's all because of you..."

Hearing Lin Yan ask this question, Ain's face turned slightly red.

"Well, you saw the look in that woman's eyes, so I can't just stand by and do nothing. I don't want you to get kidnapped one day; you're the most important person to me."

Ain said this with a hint of helplessness.

I am also a girl.

She probably knew very well what Boa Hancock's look meant.

But I certainly can't back down.

So the only option left was for Boa Hancock to back down on her own.

Of course, Ain knew that her current state was a bit off, but there was nothing she could do. To protect Lin Yan, she couldn't care less about anything else!

As mentioned before.

A tiger that guards its food is terrifying, let alone a strong-willed girl like Ain.

"I'm telling you... aren't you overthinking things?"

Upon hearing this reason, Lin Yan shook her head, finding it both amusing and absurd.

"The last time I saw her was more than ten years ago, and it was only because I saved her once. It's not as dramatic as you think."

Lin Yan spoke without any awareness of her surroundings.

After all, for him, rescuing Boa Hancock was just a casual act, and he never expected anything in return.

In his heart, Boa Hancock was probably like a younger sister.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, it was a wait of more than ten years for Boa Hancock, while for Lin Yan, it had only been a few days since they met again.

His memory is still entirely from when Boa Hancock was a child.

It's perfectly normal to not be able to grasp it right away.

"I really hope she thinks the same way you do..."

However, Ain clearly neither confirmed nor denied this.

Then, as if she didn't want to continue the topic, Ain yawned lightly, clearly tired from her previous confrontation with Boa Hancock.

"How about we take a break?"

Seeing Ain's appearance, Lin Yan immediately asked her with concern.

"Hmm... that makes sense, then let's do it that way."

Ain smiled gently, then nestled comfortably in Lin Yan's arms to rest.

The atmosphere instantly became incredibly warm and cozy.

Unbeknownst to the two, in the main hall of the Amazon Lily palace, Boa Hancock was staring at the two before her with an icy expression.

"So that's the situation. Now, we need to figure out a way to poach them!"
