One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

"That's so unfair! You actually killed my prey!" Da Pan said, looking at the four men, Duo Tai, who had just returned.

"Hehe, who told you to fight that Kizaru for so long? If it weren't for us, those two Celestial Dragons would have escaped." Dotai clapped his fists and said with a grin. Dotai was very excited to have personally killed a Celestial Dragon this time. After all, the Celestial Dragons had captured many of their Fish-Man race members to be enslaved, and he had long wanted to kill all these despicable guys.

Simon, standing to the side, grinned, revealing his sharp teeth; he had just killed one as well.

"Sigh, I should have known better than to fight that old man. Not only did I not get to enjoy the fight, but I also lost my head," Da Pan sighed, clearly regretting the loss of the two Celestial Dragons' heads.

"Alright, look at you, so pathetic. Next time you see a Celestial Dragon, I'll let you do it, okay?" Lin Yi said, kicking him in annoyance.

"That's settled then, you're not allowed to take it from me next time." Da Pan laughed happily.

Seeing Da Pan's expression, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

After playing around for a while, Lin Yi led his friends swaggering towards the entertainment area of ​​the Sabaody Archipelago. As the last stop of the first half of the Grand Line, the Sabaody Archipelago was very prosperous. Since they were here, Lin and his friends naturally wanted to have a good time.

On the other side, not long after Kizaru left, he encountered a large naval force heading to the Sabaody Archipelago. This naval force was specifically tasked with carrying out the Buster Call for the World Government.

When Kizaru encountered them, he transformed into a flash of light and boarded the first warship.

Vice Admiral Momonga, who was in charge of this Buster Call, looked puzzled when he saw Kizaru arrive. He quickly walked up to Kizaru and asked, "Admiral Kizaru, what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be protecting the Celestial Dragons?"

"Sigh, don't even mention it, it's Lin Yi again this time," Kizaru said helplessly.

"Holy crap, it's that Venerable Void, Lin Yi?" Lieutenant General Squirrel exclaimed in surprise, startled.

Kizaru nodded affirmatively.

Vice Admiral Momonga suddenly realized that his life might be in danger. That Killer Star was a ruthless man who had even killed Admiral Akainu. How could a few vice admirals like them possibly deal with him?

Seeing his dejected look, Kizaru comforted him, "It's alright. Those three Celestial Dragons are dead, and the Buster Call is no longer valid. You should turn around and head back to Marine Headquarters."

The authority of the Golden Den Den Mushi held by Vili Saint is only to eliminate people who pose a threat to Vili Saint, not to destroy a place or an island. Therefore, since Vili Saint is dead, there is no point in them going there anymore.

Holy crap, what did I just hear? The Celestial Dragons are dead? And three of them at that? Damn it, if the World Government finds out, will they take my head as a sacrifice?

Vice Admiral Momonga shuddered violently, which surprised Kizaru. Was this guy crazy?

Faced with Kizaru's strange gaze, Vice Admiral Momonga gave an awkward smile and stammered, "Admiral Kizaru, perhaps we should report this to Fleet Admiral Sengoku first?"

Kizaru thought about it and agreed. He really couldn't make a decision on his own, otherwise the World Government would easily find fault with him. He was someone who had been on the blacklist before, and he had escaped unharmed this time. Those old guys might make him take the blame. So he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Kizaru had no objections, Vice Admiral Momonga took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed Marshal Lin Zhanguo's phone number.

Not long after, Sengoku's afro appeared on the Den Den Mushi.

"This is Sengoku, Vice Admiral Momonga. What's the matter?" Sengoku's serious voice came through the Den Den Mushi. Vice Admiral Momonga was on a mission to the Sabaody Archipelago, and according to the route, he shouldn't have arrived yet. For him to call now, something must have gone wrong.

Vice Admiral Momonga handed the Den Den Mushi to Kizaru, indicating that it would be better if you spoke about this.

Kizaru didn't refuse and recounted the whole story in detail.

After Kizaru finished speaking, Sengoku on the other end of the Den Den Mushi fell silent. After a long while, he said, "Bosarino, you should just run away."

Kizaru...

Chapter 86 The matter is not over

"Borsalino, why don't you just run away?" After a long silence, Sengoku's deep and serious voice finally came through the Den Den Mushi.

Upon hearing this, Kizaru's relaxed expression instantly froze, and three deep wrinkles even appeared on his forehead. He dropped his previous nonchalant demeanor, and his tone became unusually serious: "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, is the matter really that serious?"

Sengoku sighed on the other end of the phone and replied helplessly, "Lin Yi has really gone too far this time. He's practically rubbing the faces of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government into the ground! If no retaliatory action is taken, the World Government's deterrent power will be greatly diminished."

Vice Admiral Momonga seemed puzzled by Sengoku's words and pressed for an answer: "But didn't Lin Yi kill a Celestial Dragon before? Why is this time so special?"

Sengoku explained, "The situation is different. In the previous incidents, not many people witnessed it, and Lin Yi's strength was indeed very powerful, so the World Government didn't launch a large-scale manhunt for him. But this time is different. Lin Yi openly killed a Celestial Dragon in front of so many people. This is simply a blatant challenge to the authority of the World Government!"

"But does it have to be a runaway situation?" Kizaru felt incredibly unlucky. Damn it, if I can't win, it's not my fault.

Sengoku was silent for a moment, then finally said, "You come back first, Momonga. You take the fleet and continue towards Sabaody Archipelago, but don't make any moves yet. Wait for my orders there."

"Yes, Marshal Sengoku." Lieutenant General Momonga saluted.

As for Kizaru, he transformed into a yellow flash and flew towards Marine Headquarters with a bitter expression.

Brother Lin Yi, you've really put me through a lot.

Sengoku put down the Den Den Mushi in his hand, feeling a headache coming on. Why was it Lin Yi again?

Lin Yi is now the person he least wants to touch. Every time this guy does something, it terrifies people. The key is that this guy is ridiculously strong, making it impossible for anyone to deal with him.

"Sigh, I'm destined to get scolded." Zhan Guo sighed and dialed his old boss's number. Just kidding, in this kind of situation, the boss has to take the blame, otherwise how can you be the boss?

The Den Den Mushi connected, and Sengoku didn't give Steelbone Sora a chance to speak, blurting out everything in one go.

After finishing speaking, Sengoku threw the Den Den Mushi a little further away. As he expected, Kong's face on the Den Den Mushi was already contorted with anger. He roared, "Damn Sengoku, why the hell did you tell me this? I'm about to retire, can't you let me rest? Do you wish I were dead? I may be your superior, but I don't handle Navy matters. Can't you report it yourself, you bastard?"

"I will always be your soldier," Sengoku said with a serious expression.

"Get lost, get lost, just looking at you annoys me," Steelbone Kong said irritably.

"Hehe, so what about this?" Sengoku chuckled, rubbing his hands together.

"Just you wait," Steelbone Sky replied irritably before hanging up the Den Den Mushi.

"I hope things don't turn out the way I think," Sengoku muttered to himself, scratching his afro with some worry. Little did he know, things were far more serious than he imagined.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Kong immediately headed towards the Five Elders' office.

Although he was cursing and swearing, he knew that he was the only one who could report this matter. The reason was simple: Sengoku's experience was too limited to protect that kid Kizaru.

Not long after Steelbone Kong entered the Five Elders' meeting room, five powerful auras erupted from there, sweeping across the entire Pangu City, followed by angry roars.

"Lin Yi, you brat, have gone too far! We must kill him!"

"kill"

"kill"

"kill"

"kill"

After a long while, the aura subsided.

Steelbone Sky walked out of the conference room with a solemn expression.

"Damn it, this is really going to be a big deal." Steelbone muttered to himself, his face full of worry.

Soon, orders were issued from the Five Elders. This time, they were determined to eliminate Lin Yi, even at a great cost.

Sengoku was pacing back and forth in the Fleet Admiral's office, waiting for news from Kong. Kizaru had also returned to Marine Headquarters and was now lazily watching the anxious Sengoku.

On his way back, he figured it out: if the World Government dared to shift the blame to him, he would quit. Damn it, every time he went on duty he ran into Lin Yi. How could he possibly have any fun? He should just quit as soon as possible. What was the point of risking his life for a monthly salary of a million?

The phone rang, and Zhan Guo quickly answered, "Old man, how is it?"

"Sigh!" Steelbone Sky sighed deeply.

This sigh made Sengoku's heart skip a beat. Was Kizaru really going to take the blame?

"The Five Elders have decided to personally deal with Lin Yi and his group. You, Garp, and Kizaru from the Navy will need to go with them. Also, the World Government will give you a list later, and the Navy needs to capture the people on the list as soon as possible," Kong said in a deep voice.

"What? The Five Elders are going to take action personally?" Sengoku exclaimed in shock, and Kizaru beside him was equally astonished.

It should be noted that those five people have not made a move since they became the Five Elders, and it has been hundreds of years since then. It is surprising that they would all be mobilized for Lin Yi this time.

"If only it were that simple, they've really gone all out this time, actually launching a Buster Call against the Sabaody Archipelago," Steelbone Kong said with a worried expression.

"What? How could they do this? Those people are all innocent!" Sengoku slammed his hand on the desk and shouted angrily.

Kizaru, standing to the side, also had a solemn expression. He hadn't expected the World Government to be so ruthless this time. The Sabaody Archipelago had a population of over 100,000. Were they going to wipe them all out just to vent their anger?

"Alas! Sengoku, for the sake of the navy, we have no other choice," Kong said helplessly.

"But we can't just kill innocent people indiscriminately. If we do that, how can we live up to the word 'justice' we claim to uphold?" Sengoku was still very angry.

"Sengoku!" Kong shouted, startling Sengoku from his anger. Kizaru, who was standing nearby, was also startled by the sudden shout.

"Know your place," Steelbone Sky said sternly.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo slumped back into the chair behind him in despair.

Looking at the person before him, Steelbone Kong couldn't help but sigh deeply. He seemed to see his former self, that passionate young man who had just taken over this position, just like Sengoku now, filled with a steadfast commitment to and pursuit of justice.

However, reality dealt them a harsh blow, ruthlessly extinguishing their enthusiasm. Although the Navy possessed considerable strength, it was still far inferior to the World Government. More importantly, the Navy's entire funding depended on the World Government. This meant that if the World Government stopped providing funding, the Navy would be unable to sustain itself and would ultimately have no choice but to disband.

"Think it over carefully," Kong said slowly, his voice tinged with helplessness and regret. After saying this, he hung up the Den Den Mushi, leaving Sengoku alone on the other end of the line in silence.

Steelbone Sky believed that Sengoku would figure it out. After all, he himself had gone through similar struggles and reflections before finally recognizing the harshness of reality. He hoped that Sengoku could learn from this experience and find a way to uphold justice while ensuring the survival of the navy.

Seeing Sengoku in agony, Kizaru felt helpless for the first time.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Why don't we inform Lin Yi? His spatial abilities seem to allow him to teleport people away."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku, who was caught in a dilemma, suddenly brightened up. That's right, it was that bastard who caused this trouble, so he should take care of it.

"Haha, Borsalino, you've finally been smart for once," Sengoku said happily.

Kizaru rolled his eyes at Sengoku. "I just didn't like using my brain before, okay?"

Suddenly, Sengoku stared intently at Kizaru.

"Holy crap, you're not going to make me go and tell him, are you?"

(I feel a little unsure of what to do)

Chapter 87 Seven Warlords of the Sea 1

On the island of Klaigana, in the ruins of the Kingdom of Sikaiari in the New World, a massive castle stands.

On a farmland near the castle, Hawkeye, wearing a white t-shirt, was meticulously turning over the soil with a hoe. Since parting ways with Lin Yi in the Kingdom of Alabasta, he had returned here to live a self-sufficient farm life.

Of course, he wasn't planning to retire; rather, he felt that his swordsmanship had been too impetuous in the past few decades and now needed to settle down and reflect.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Eagle Eye looked with satisfaction at the neatly planned rows of farmland. With the seeds sown this time, he wouldn't have to worry about vegetables for the next year.

Just then, a baboon carrying a wooden sword rushed towards Hawkeye.

Hawkeye frowned, looked at the farmland that had been painstakingly cleared, and had no choice but to leave and go to meet it. Otherwise, if the restless baboon were allowed to enter, it would probably make a mess of the place.

"Baboon King, is there something you need?" Yin Yan asked calmly. He had lived here for quite some time and had dealt with the Baboon King many times. He had even taught it some basic swordsmanship, so he knew it quite well. Normally, the Baboon King would not come to him at this time.

"Woo-woo, woo-woo-woo." The baboon king pointed in one direction of Klaigana Island and danced around excitedly.

Yin Yan frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "You mean a ship has arrived outside, and the people on board want to see me?"
