Chapter 260 The Name of Emperor Yan
Fishman Island.

A grand banquet is being held in the Dragon Palace.

While eating heartily, Luffy laughed and said, "Hey, Jinbe, let's set sail together!"

"I promised you, and of course I won't go back on my word. But the sea is not what it used to be, ever since Akainu and Aokiji fought."

"What?! Akainu and Kuzan are fighting?!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise.

"Uh, you didn't know about something this big?" Jinbe asked, puzzled.

"I don't know. I'm just practicing. Rayleigh didn't tell me anything else."

"Rayleigh is too strict. This is a world-renowned event," Jinbe said with a hint of helplessness.

Usopp, who was drunk and lying on the ground, tilted his head back and said, "I've never heard of it either."

He's similar to Luffy; he lives on a small island with few people and little information around him.

In the past two years, I've spent half my time eating and the other half running.

Chopper, on the other hand, looked excited and proud, exclaiming, "I know, I know!"

Jinbe nodded and said, "In short, there are three important things you need to know about the seas right now: the Navy and the pirates."

"After Sengoku stepped down, Akainu was nominated by the World Government, while Aokiji was deeply loved by the Navy. Akainu was the one who should have won. Although Aokiji usually seemed indifferent to everything, he strongly opposed Akainu becoming Fleet Admiral, which eventually led to the two fighting."

"I don't know which island it was, but I do know that they fought a fierce battle for ten days and ten nights. In the end, Akainu won, and the command of the Navy fell into his hands. Akainu became the new Fleet Admiral."

As he spoke, Jinbe glanced at Luffy, knowing that Akainu was the murderer of Ace. He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for pirates, one of them is Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach."

Luffy didn't react much, but Chopper looked surprised.

Blackbeard once destroyed his homeland, Drum Kingdom.

Nami then spoke up, "Blackbeard is that strange guy we met in Mock Town, right?"

"He was originally one of the old man's crew members. After the old man died, he used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit that he had taken from the old man, along with his knowledge of the old man's territory, to quickly seize half of the territory and become a new Yonko."

"It is rumored that they have mastered a method to take over the abilities of Devil Fruit users after killing them, so they are now rampantly capturing Devil Fruit users, and those with powerful Devil Fruit abilities are their targets," Jinbe said in a deep voice.

"Huh? Then I'm in danger?!" Chopper exclaimed in surprise.

"No, I think any normal person wouldn't covet the Human-Human Fruit," Usopp quickly waved his hand.

"Luffy, especially you, hey, are you even listening?!"

Just as Jinbe was about to bring it up again, he noticed that the man had absentmindedly picked up a piece of meat with bone and was eating it quickly, not listening at all.

"Aren't you the captain? You need to have intelligence!" Jinbe shouted.

Sanji, who was standing to the side, smiled and lit a cigarette, saying, "Jinbe, you'll get used to it. That's just how our captain is. We'll listen to you. Go on."

".All right."

Jinbe scratched his head, his voice suddenly turning serious: "Next comes the most important information, about another pirate, the Flame Emperor Lin Mo!"

"I know, I know, he's my savior!"

Luffy, who had been focused on eating and hadn't paid any attention to the news, immediately moved closer to Jinbe after hearing the name "Lin Mo," his face showing interest.

"What's wrong with Lin Mo?"

Jinbe began, “He first killed the Shichibukai Doflamingo, wiped out the Donquixote Family, and became the new Emperor of the Underworld. After that, he killed the Yonko Kaido, becoming one of the new Yonko, just like Blackbeard. But compared to Blackbeard, his reputation is much greater, after all, he killed Kaido, who was known as the strongest creature in the sea, land, and air.”

"As expected of Lin Mo, he's really amazing." Luffy grinned.

Unlike Luffy, who had no concept of the Four Emperors, everyone else showed utter shock upon hearing that Lin Mo had killed Kaido of the Beasts. Jinbe recalled the scene from two years ago during the prison break, when he first met Lin Mo.

At the time, he didn't have a deep impression of Lin Mo, only knowing that he was a taciturn swordsman with some strength.

He shone brightly during the Battle of Linmer's Summit.

What happened next astonished Jinbe even more.

“And just now, I got the latest news about him from a pirate who just arrived at Fishman Island. Just a few days ago, Emperor Lin Mo had a battle with Dark King Rayleigh,” Jinbe said.

"Who won?" Zoro couldn't help but ask.

It's important to know that Rayleigh, the Dark Lord, is also a swordsman, just like him.

"Rayle admits defeat."

The Straw Hat Pirates had witnessed Rayleigh's power firsthand; if it weren't for Rayleigh's intervention, they would have been killed by Kizaru long ago.

Not to mention Luffy, who is Rayleigh's disciple.

Even after two years of training, Luffy still doesn't believe he can beat Rayleigh.

"Rayleigh can't possibly lose!" Luffy exclaimed.

Jinbe swallowed hard, then said, "The most crucial news isn't that Rayleigh has conceded defeat, but that Lin Mo has simultaneously severed 79 Yarchiman mangrove trees on the Sabaody Archipelago with a single sword strike!"

Upon hearing the news, Zoro instinctively gripped his sword tighter.

Now, he has finally reached the strength to cut down ships, but he never expected that there would be someone in this world who could cut down an island with a single sword!
And it's the Sabaody Archipelago!
Is this something humans can do?

Zoro immediately thought of Hawkeye, then shook his head with a grim expression.

In his opinion, even Hawkeye, who is now known as the world's greatest swordsman, could never cut an island in half with a single sword strike.

Two years later, they set sail again, having just verified the results of their training on Fishman Island.

The Straw Hat crew, who had been full of confidence, fell silent after hearing the news, except for Luffy.

They thought that after two years of hard training, they had been able to enter the world of the strong, but they never expected that this world was far more vast than they had imagined.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo finally located Egghead Island.

The ocean is vast, and finding an island is not easy.

Fortunately, Lin Mo knew the approximate location of Egghead Island, which was in the waters behind Wano Country.

During this period of time, Lin Mo has been sending his men to explore.

After returning from Rayleigh's place, Lin Mo finally received good news.

"Lord Linmo, we sank two warships in the waters southeast of Wano Country. The last message we received said that there seems to be a huge sea monster there," Violet said.

"However, those giant sea beasts are not sea kings. According to the information that came back, they are made entirely of metal."

"Mechanical sea monster?"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Which group is it near that sea area?"

"It's Urki."

That's right, following Drake and Hawkins, Urouge, another member of the Worst Generation, also joined Linmer, except this guy was beaten into submission.
