"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shandia Chief bowed in gratitude.
Throughout this process, Wyper remained expressionless.
He was simply a battle maniac.
Now that the outcome was decided, he could only serve Lin with his life.
…
A few days later, in the God's Palace, lightning flashed continuously.
Lin lay on a soft couch, watching Conis working hard above him.
While training his Devil Fruit ability, he also pondered the future.
Just then, a gentle angelic voice called from outside the palace: "God, Raki has been brought here."
In an instant, Lin pushed the limp and exhausted Conis aside.
Then he spoke indifferently: "Bring her in."
"Understood!"
After a while, Lin saw a tall, cold-looking woman slowly approach.
Her long black hair was tied in a high ponytail, cascading smoothly down to her waist.
A tight-fitting light purple outfit outlined her graceful, curvy figure.
"Your Majesty! I am a warrior of the Shandia Tribe... Raki!"
"I... I come to serve as your divine servant."
Raki stood still and knelt on the ground.
She bit her lower lip; though her words were firm, there was a trace of hesitation.
"Not bad. You are quite pretty."
"If you can be obedient and satisfy me, perhaps you can become my Divine Consort in the future."
"Understood!"
Raki pursed her lips, a hint of helplessness evident.
Behind her back was the entire Shandia Tribe. She had no choice...
"Conis, take her to change her clothes. Her clothes aren't quite up to par."
"Alright!"
Conis, neatly dressed, staggered out, dragging the bewildered Raki with her.
Before long, Raki returned in new clothes.
She still had chosen a light purple cloth, but now it was a cheongsam specially made by Lin.
It gave her an entirely different charm.
However, she seemed uneasy.
After all, she was a warrior.
The Shandians lived as guests in a foreign land, in relative poverty.
Naturally, she wasn't used to wearing such luxurious clothing.
She was afraid that moving too much would tear the cloth.
"God."
Raki's shy voice rang out, making Lin's eyes light up.
"Why choose that outfit? Were they teasing you?"
"It was... The maid who recommended it… She said it looks very charming to me."
"She said that God will definitely like it."
Raki lowered her head and stammered.
Having just joined Lin's household, she wasn't familiar with anyone.
Naturally, she obediently followed all suggestions and arrangements.
"I do like it. Come and chat with me here for a while."
Lin admired her beautiful face without blinking. He wanted to chat with her, also to test whether Raki had the same effect on him as Conis.
"Ah…"
Raki was stunned.
Why didn't God play by the rules?
She couldn't help but look up, gazing at Lin with confusion, only to be stunned.
Lin had a high nose bridge, eyes as deep and bright as shining stars.
His black hair flowed freely.
If she had to describe his appearance with a single word, phrase, or sentence, there's only one: Handsome!
Raki had never seen anyone so handsome.
The men of the Shandians and Skypieans all look rather rough.
In comparison, she suddenly felt no resentment about sacrificing herself for her people.
Instead, she thought she had made a great bargain.
No wonder she was like that.
Most men in the One Piece World looked strange and casual...
Her dazed reaction was understandable.
Seeing her hesitating and daydreaming, Lin's gaze sharpened slightly.
"Hmm? You don't want to?"
"No! I don't dare!"
Raki quickly came to her senses.
Her face flushed, and she opened her mouth, as if trying to find an excuse for her loss of composure.
But she suddenly noticed Lin's expression of impatience.
So, she didn't dare to say anything more and quickly walked to the side of the couch and lay down on it.
Lin smiled at this.
"You little vixen, lying down like that, are you expecting God to serve you?"
Lin moved his fingers.
He flipped Raki over and slapped her buttocks.
A wave of ripples surged.
"You're on top!"
"Ah!"
Raki looked adorably flustered.
She had heard from her elders in the tribe about the process of serving the Gods.
But… Why was it different from what everyone else had said?
Shouldn't God just pounce roughly?
Although she was puzzled, seeing Lin already lying down, she could only obey God's instructions and climb on top...
...
The next morning, Lin was awakened early by Conis's usual good morning greeting.
But today, he didn't want to get up too early.
So, he reached out and lifted Conis, who had wandered to the side, into his arms.
Raki, who was standing behind her, was startled awake, but dared not move.
"Ah… God, the maids outside are still waiting for us..."
Conis exclaimed, trying to remind Lin.
But Lin ignored her and opted for his morning exercise.
In the end, even Raki was not spared.
In this situation, even if Shirahoshi were here, Lin would still need to inspect her.
Just Shirahoshi? One hand would be enough to handle her…
