What Are You Misunderstanding?

Lin Yan moved extremely quickly.

Momousagi was too slow to react at this point.

After all, the two are worlds apart in strength.

Even at her peak, Momousagi wouldn't be a match for Lin Yan, let alone now that she's injured and distracted.

The result is therefore obvious.

Lin Yan easily moved forward, first grabbing the long sword in the girl's hand, and then pinning Momousagi against the wall.

How naive you are, young lady!

A wicked smile appeared on Lin Yan's face.

"Playing the suicide card in front of me? That's quite something, isn't it? But do you think it'll work?"

Lin Yan looked at Momousagi with great interest.

Then he laughed with a rather mischievous grin.

To be honest, there's one line he's wanted to try out for a long time!

Unfortunately, no one was there to help him.

The current situation is not bad.

Lin Yan's mischievous thoughts began to gurgle and bubble, and under Momousagi's horrified expression, Lin Yan slowly curled the corners of her mouth.

Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you!

"..."

Upon hearing this, Momousagi fell into an eerie silence.

Then, with a resigned expression, he gave up struggling.

Even if you get my body, you'll never get my heart!

"You saved my life before!"

"I secretly have a little crush on you."

"I was originally thinking of just giving up after a little struggle."

I never expected you to be this kind of person!

"Take it, and then I'll kill myself!"

As if afraid she wouldn't have the chance to say it again, Momousagi rattled off a long string of words at lightning speed, then tightly closed her eyes.

"..."

Lin Yan was stunned.

Ah, this...

To be honest, I was just joking. Girl, do you really have that much inner monologue?

A self-destructing truck is an example of this.

Lin Yan was speechless. Looking at Momousagi with a resigned expression and her eyes tightly closed, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

I thought you were loyal to the Navy.

You're giving me this kind of treatment?

Indeed, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; the ancients were right.

But even so...

We can't let this misunderstanding continue, as long as Momousagi won't commit suicide.

Thinking about it, Lin Yan sighed helplessly and then released Momousagi.

"... Although I don't know what you're misunderstanding, I didn't come to you today to talk about this."

"Snort!"

However, Momousagi refused to believe it.

He immediately shrank into the corner with a wary look on his face, staring at Lin Yan with the eyes of a heartless man.

"..."

Lin Yan began to feel a toothache.

Scratching her head somewhat helplessly, Lin Yan decided to just speak frankly.

"In short, it's not what you've misunderstood. I came to see you this time because I intend to have you join my pirate crew. After all, you've seen the Navy's true colors, and I think there's a chance."

Lin Yan spoke frankly to Momousagi. (Meow Meow said...)

To be honest, Momousagi didn't believe it at first.

After all that, can you honestly say you didn't have any thoughts about it?

However, looking into Lin Yan's sincere eyes...

Momousagi also fell silent.

"I am a Navy soldier."

Finally, after hesitating for quite some time, Momousagi tilted her head slightly and said this.

Lin Yan's expression brightened with joy.

There's a chance!

Seeing that Momousagi's performance was clearly not as decisive as she had described, Lin Yan immediately put on a serious expression and said...

"But if I'm not mistaken, you're loyal to justice, not the navy, right?"

"..."

Momousagi immediately fell silent.

Just as Lin Yan had predicted, the Navy's betrayal was like a thorn stuck in Momousagi's heart, one that could never be erased.

Regardless of Akainu's despicable and shameless nature.

Or perhaps it was the others, whom they considered comrades, who obeyed their orders.

All of these caused great harm to Momousagi.

Regardless of the reason, a mistake is a mistake.

In that situation, even if just one person spoke up for me, even if it was just a shout, Momousagi wouldn't have felt so lost.

But that's not the case.

They all simply chose to ignore it, albeit with a hint of disgust.

Neither the powerful figures nor the ordinary naval soldiers took any concrete action to stop Akainu's betrayal.

How could Momousagi not mind?

Seeing the somewhat sorrowful expression on the girl's face, Lin Yan smiled gently.

So join us!

Lin Yan looked at Momousagi with utmost sincerity.

"I admire your courage and boldness, so I sincerely extend this invitation to you!"

"I won't guarantee you the justice you want like those naval officers do, but at least with me, I guarantee you'll never be betrayed by your own people!"

Lin Yan knew.

If you want to win over Momousagi, you absolutely must not lie.

The girl in front of me is going through a very sensitive and confused time.

Even the slightest lie can lead to failure.

Therefore, Lin Yan chose to speak her mind directly.

He won't bring Momousagi any so-called justice, nor will he make any promises to the girl about it.

But as long as it's with me.

Momousagi will never be betrayed!

These were the conditions Lin Yan offered to Momousagi.

Compared to the navy who spout righteousness and morality, his ship may not be full of good people, but everyone on board is a true comrade and family!

"..."

Momousagi fell silent.

Her gaze slowly began to waver and waver as Momousagi looked at the man before her.

In her most lost and desperate moment, Lin Yan chose to save herself.

Now, he has even promised never to betray him.

Momousagi could tell that Lin Yan was serious.

His eyes were different from anyone she had ever met before. Momousagi wasn't sure if Lin Yan was a good person, but if it was that kind of look in his eyes...

Thinking about it, Momousagi unconsciously reached out her little hand towards Lin Yan.

It was like grasping at the last straw.

A moment later, their hands clasped tightly together.

A sweet smile couldn't help but spread across Momousagi's pretty face.

"Will you really not betray me?"

"Unless I die one day."

Okay! I believe you!

Momousagi nodded heavily, choosing to trust the man before her one last time.

Whatever the outcome may be.

She even accepted Momousagi!

Some say that the essence of life is a series of choices, so choosing to board Lin Yan's ship at this moment is Momousagi's decision.

Seeing Momousagi's eyes regain their resolve, Lin Yan smiled as well.

"Then come with me to the banquet. We've finally recruited new members, and there are many people you need to get to know."

Momousagi smiled and nodded.

I'm really looking forward to it.
