"Now, you can answer my question!" Lin Yan demanded.
Always the one to trick others, today the tables had turned on him. Year after year, hunting geese, and now blinded by a peck! The woman before him had tricked him, and how could he bear it?
"I..." Bonnie stammered.
Had she not recognized Lin Yan's identity earlier, she might have been able to argue. But now, with his identity clear, how could she resist? Bonnie was frantic, like an ant on a hot pan, almost in tears. She had no idea the man she casually pulled over was actually the division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates—a first-line powerhouse in the New World. Lin Yan had just boarded the Moby Dick and swept through a group of Whitebeard's division commanders.
Realizing the huge gap between them, she quickly bowed her head and apologized, "I'm sorry!"
If she didn't bow her head now, it would be courting death!
"Heh, is everything settled with just an apology? If apologies were useful, what would we need the navy for?" Lin Yan's cold gaze pressed down on Bonnie, and his chilling aura emanated, making her feel immense pressure. She suddenly felt dizzy. Bonnie was weak; her body at its limit, no longer able to stand. Prolonged confrontation with the navy, being chased by troops, and now Lin Yan's intimidating presence snapped her last string. With a "thud," the exhausted Bonnie collapsed, motionless.
Lin Yan was slightly taken aback. Was she pretending? Let it be clear, he hadn't touched her; she fell on her own. Surveillance could prove it, and dear readers could testify. He walked over to Bonnie and kicked her unconscious body, finding she had exhausted her strength.
"Bad luck!" Lin Yan muttered, displeased. She had tricked him, and he had planned to extort her to comfort his young soul. Instead, he got into trouble. Seeing no advantage to be gained, he turned to leave. But after a few steps, Lin Yan stopped and looked back at the unconscious Bonnie. Just leaving her there felt inappropriate. His kind heart was moved, and he decided to help her a little.
"Sigh, in the end, I'm just too soft-hearted!" Lin Yan walked back to Bonnie. About three minutes later, he had stripped her of all her valuable items like necklaces, bracelets, and other precious objects.
"Unfortunately, I could only get this little stuff," he sighed, leaving disappointed. Like a zombie that opens your head and then leaves disappointed. What? Wasn't he supposed to help her? Lin Yan thought, with so many Marines chasing the Supernovas, he had already helped her reduce her "burden."
Because she was a woman, couldn't she be treated gently? Gently? It was lucky for her that she was unconscious. If she were still standing here, Lin Yan wouldn't hesitate to give her a couple of powerful punches, complete a full combo, and finish off with an awe-inspiring move! This man's twenty years of martial arts skills—can you withstand it?
At Shakky's Rip-off Bar.
The joyful Shakky lit a cigarette while wiping the glass in her hand. But soon, her happy mood was disrupted by the arrival of a troublesome figure. Lin Yan, smiling at her from the doorway, made her mood plummet: "Why are you here?"
"Not welcome? I heard Rayleigh has recently returned to the bar, is that right?" Lin Yan walked to Shakky's bar counter and continued, "The usual, landlady, mix me one of your special drinks!"
Welcome? How dare you say that? Though Shakky felt a thousandfold displeasure, she couldn't help but shout, "Come on, I even directed you to Zephyr's path! Why are you still looking for Rayleigh?"
Rayleigh had just gone to assist the Straw Hat Pirates. He had just left, and now Lin Yan shows up, like an unshakable ghost!
"Be honest, how many spies have you placed around my bar? Have you been lurking here all this time since then?" Shakky started to get suspicious, her eyes full of vigilance.
"How could that be?" Lin Yan said with a smile.
"Give it up, I absolutely won't tell you anything about Rayleigh!" Shakky turned her head, like a proud peacock.
"And you say there's nothing between you and Rayleigh, looking like this, not even a dog would believe you!" Lin Yan mocked.
"Mind your own business!" Shakky glared at him.
Seeing Shakky still being so cautious and unwilling to reveal Rayleigh's whereabouts, Lin Yan laughed heartily. Then he said, "Alright, landlady, I'm not here to argue with you, my purpose this time isn't Rayleigh!"
"Oh? You're really not here for Rayleigh?" Seeing Lin Yan's demeanor, Shakky asked suspiciously.
"Of course! Hurry up with the drink, I'm thirsty!" Lin Yan urged her.
Hearing that his target wasn't Rayleigh, Shakky sighed in relief and quickly mixed a drink for Lin Yan. He didn't hesitate, grabbed the glass, and downed it in one gulp. Seeing him drink it all, Shakky smiled and said, "Previously, I let you drink for free, but my bar needs to make money too, so no more free drinks this time!"
"What? No free drinks?" Lin Yan was stunned. Shakky was known throughout Sabaody Archipelago as a master of overcharging. Trying to get a bargain from her was as hard as peeing on Akainu's head.
"Can I puke it out?" Lin Yan asked.
Shakky's face darkened. How could this Captain be so shameless?
"A friendly price, ten thousand Berries a glass!" Shakky said bluntly.
"No problem, I've got money!" Lin Yan didn't hesitate and took out the necklace and bracelets he had just plundered from Bonnie.
Seeing the jewelry in front of her, Shakky estimated they were worth at least seventy to eighty thousand Berries. Her eyes turned into "$o$" shapes.
Heaven and earth could testify, Shakky took back all the previous insults about this Captain being shameless. She completely changed her previous bias against Lin Yan. Having such a frequent visitor to the bar was her honor, her great fortune. The more Shakky looked at Lin Yan, the more pleasing he became!
