One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Kuina traced an arc in the air and landed perfectly next to Koushirou.

Despite suffering such a heavy blow, Kuina was not discouraged. She struggled to her feet and continued her fight with Aokiji. However, just as she was about to get up, Koushirou reached out and stopped her.

Koushirou slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared intently at Aokiji, and said in a deep voice, "Admiral, you truly live up to your reputation. However, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed this time; you won't be able to catch us."

Before he could finish speaking, Koushirou suddenly crushed the jade pendant left by Lin Yi. In an instant, an incomparably mysterious spatial power rippled outwards, tightly enveloping Koushirou, Kuina, and Zoro beside him.

This spatial force seemed to possess boundless magic, completely engulfing the three of them in a mere moment. In the blink of an eye, their figures vanished from their original spot as if by magic.

Seeing this, Aokiji smiled, not surprised at all.

"You really are someone who makes it impossible to find a flaw," Aokiji thought to himself.

"Sir, the target has escaped. What do we do now?" a navy officer asked.

"How about we arrest the students from those dojos?" another navy officer suggested.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a bone-chilling cold spread through his body, which terrified him.

"We are the Navy," Aokiji said indifferently.

The dozen or so sailors immediately felt ashamed, especially the one who had just suggested arresting the students of Isshin Dojo, who lowered his head and buried it in his chest.

"Let's go, this mission is over. Let's move on to the next place," Aokiji said calmly.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Tsuru led her team to Kerry's hometown. This time, her targets were Kerry's childhood friend, Lei, and Captain Hoshino.

Just like Aokiji's previous experience, Vice Admiral Tsuru and Hoshino engaged in a fierce battle. However, despite Hoshino's valiant resistance, he was ultimately no match for Vice Admiral Tsuru's strength. At the critical moment, Hoshino unhesitatingly crushed the jade pendant Lin Yi had given him and fled the scene with Ah Lei.

Vice Admiral Tsuru stood silently where Hoshino and A-Lei had disappeared, her gaze somewhat profound. She couldn't help but marvel at the bizarre nature of Lin Yi's abilities, which filled her with a sense of unease about the future of the Navy. Was it truly a wise decision for the World Government to choose to antagonize such a powerful figure?

"Lieutenant General Tsuru, the target has disappeared. What should we do now?" the adjutant asked as he stepped forward.

"Let's go back. Since Lin Yi has already made arrangements, continuing will likely only lead to nothing, just like this time," Lieutenant General Tsuru said calmly. She was more direct than Aokiji, abandoning the mission as soon as she realized it was impossible.

"Yes, I'll arrange the return flight right away," the adjutant said crisply.

Sengoku quickly received news that the two had failed in their mission, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. Although he couldn't disobey their orders, he could sabotage their mission from a different angle. Haha, what can I do when I have a top-notch undercover agent?

(Kizaru: Listen to me, thank you.)

Sengoku composed himself, revealing a frustrated expression of mission failure, and dialed the Five Elders' number.

Bubbling.

"Sengoku, what is it?" Topman Vochuli, the bald, mustachioed legal warrior, appeared on the Den Den Mushi with a serious face.

"Lord Vochuri, the mission has failed. Lin Yi has already rescued them all," Sengoku said with shame.

Topman Vochuli frowned, but didn't say anything more, just gave a faint "hmm" and hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Sengoku saw the Den Den Mushi hang up and his smile returned. You'd never guess Kizaru was a spy, no matter how hard you try.

(Kizaru...)

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Topman Vochuli said to the other four, "Lin Yi had a backup plan with those lowly people; the mission to capture them failed."

After he finished speaking, the reception room fell silent.

After a long silence, Financial God of War Izanbaron V. Nassjuro said in a deep voice, "In that case, let's begin the encirclement and suppression mission ahead of schedule."

"Seconded"

"Seconded"

"Seconded"

"Seconded"

Lin Yi, who was teaching Fiona how to practice Conqueror's Haki, suddenly had a thought.

"Fiona, that's enough practice for today. I have something else to do. Could you talk to the others about it for me?" Lin Yi said to Fiona.

Fiona nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

After giving his instructions, Lin Yi disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 95 The World Government Begins to Take Action

"Yes, Marshal, I know what to do." Vice Admiral Momonga said respectfully to Sengoku on the Den Den Mushi.

"Yes, I trust you to handle things." Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi after saying that.

"Sigh..." Sengoku sighed deeply, his heart filled with helplessness and worry. He hoped that Lin Yi would show mercy to their navy and not be too ruthless, considering the previous two intelligence reports.

At the same time, the Navy, as the highest law enforcement agency on the high seas, should have absolute authority and power, but now it has to be caught between Lin Yi and the World Government, trying to survive on thin ice, which makes Sengoku feel extremely uncomfortable.

Sengoku took a deep breath, tried to compose himself, then stood up, called Kizaru, and together they walked towards the Shichibukai's temporary residence.

Since the last meeting, the seven Shichibukai have been staying at Marine Headquarters, awaiting orders from the World Government. Now, the orders have finally been issued, and it's time for them to set off. Of course, Vice Admiral Garp, looking rather reluctant, is also joining them.

Once everyone had arrived, Sengoku's expression turned unusually serious. He stood before them, his gaze sweeping over each person, before leading them onto a massive warship. Besides Garp, Sengoku, Kizaru, and the seven Shichibukai, the crew consisted of only ordinary Marine soldiers responsible for piloting the warship.

Instead of heading directly to the Sabaody Archipelago, Sengoku first went to a sea area not far from Pangaea City to meet up with the Five Elders before heading to the Sabaody Archipelago together.

When Sengoku and his group arrived, the Five Elders were already there with a fleet of more than a dozen large warships. The purpose of these warships was to destroy the Sabaody Archipelago; otherwise, how could Vice Admiral Momonga's five warships demonstrate the World Government's deterrent power?

In addition to the Five Elders, the World Government also deployed two brothers, Gringu and Sigdal, whom Lin Yi had met before, as well as five admiral-level combatants trained by the World Government.

As the highest rulers of the World Government, the Five Elders naturally wouldn't personally greet Sengoku and his group, but they also couldn't underestimate them, so they sent the Stigdel Saints to receive them.

Upon meeting, Saint Sigdal first greeted Sengoku and the other two high-ranking naval officers, then turned his gaze to the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After glancing casually, Saint Schöndel turned his gaze to Hawkeye and said with a hint of amusement, "Long time no see, Mr. Hawkeye."

Faced with Saint Sigder's ill-intentioned greeting, Hawkeye simply nodded and ignored him. Hawkeye had a conflict with Saint Sigder before when he helped Lin Yi in the Little Garden, and he didn't believe that this Celestial Dragon was just giving him a simple greeting.

Sure enough, the next moment, Saint Sigdal said, "Mr. Hawkeye, if I remember correctly, you seem to be quite familiar with Lin Yi. You even went against our World Government for him back then. This time, when we surround and kill Lin Yi and his group, Mr. Hawkeye, you won't turn against us, will you?"

Upon hearing what St. Schöderdel said, everyone else present turned their gazes toward Hawkeye, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation, as if waiting for his response.

Faced with Sjögdel's questioning, Hawkeye's face remained expressionless. His gaze, sharp as a hawk's, was fixed on Sjögdel as he said calmly, "If you have any doubts about me, I can leave now."

His voice was calm and deep, yet it revealed an undeniable firmness.

A cold glint flashed in St. Sigdal's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He suddenly smiled and said, "Haha, Mr. Hawkeye, of course I believe you won't do anything unwise."

His laughter echoed in the air, carrying a hint of something elusive.

After speaking, Saint Sigurd turned to face the remaining Shichibukai, his face serious, and said, "I entrust this operation to you all. I hope you will take it seriously. Afterwards, the World Government will certainly reward you handsomely."

His words conveyed an undeniable authority.

After giving his instructions, Saint Sigdal did not linger. He turned and walked away, leaving behind a room full of silent Shichibukai.

After the two sides reunited, the World Government immediately ordered a full-speed march towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

The World Government's large-scale operation naturally attracted the attention of various forces. These forces are scattered throughout the world, some overt, some covert, some strong, some weak, but all are closely monitoring the World Government's every move.

When the world government's massive operation came to the attention of various factions, they began to speculate about the true purpose behind it.

Of course, many astute individuals, considering the commotion Lin Yi caused in the Sabaody Archipelago recently, speculated that the World Government might be about to take action against Lin Yi and his group. After all, Lin Yi had publicly murdered three high-ranking Celestial Dragons, so how could the World Government remain indifferent? They would definitely retaliate. It's just unknown how far the World Government's retaliation would go this time.

-

Whitebeard frowned as he held the latest intelligence Marco had just handed him, and said with a hint of something enigmatic in his voice, "It seems the World Government is serious this time."

"Dad, should we help Lin Yi and the others?" Marco asked with a hint of worry, remembering the kindness Lin Yi had shown them last time.

Whitebeard shook his head and said, "It's too late. Even if we go there now, it won't change anything. But you don't need to worry too much. Lin Yi is not so easy to deal with. Even if the Five Elders join forces, they probably can't stop him."

Marco was shocked. Whitebeard had told him about some of the world's strongest people. The Five Elders were powerful people who had broken through to the King level a long time ago. Could Lin Yi really withstand the combined attack of the five of them?

Seeing Marco's expression, Whitebeard laughed and said, "Silly son, you can't imagine how monstrous Lin Yi is. That guy is someone even your old man can't handle."

Marco, hearing Whitebeard's hearty laughter, snapped out of his reverie and joined in the laughter.

Kaido of Wano Country also learned of this news. While drinking, he laughed gleefully, "Haha, Lin Yi, kid, let's see if you're still so arrogant this time."

Upon hearing this, King of the Wildfire said speechlessly, "Big brother, although that kid is despicable, he has also done us a favor. Should we help him?"

Kaido took another sip of his drink, patted King's shoulder forcefully, and said, "You underestimate that kid. That guy is even more monstrous than your boss."

Upon hearing this, Jin fell silent.

"Momomomo, Lin Yi, it would be such a pity if you died. I haven't even tasted your soul yet." Charlotte Linlin said in a somewhat manic tone, sticking out her bright red tongue to lick the huge cake in front of her.

Katakuri, who had just delivered the message outside the door, sounded worried upon hearing the voice. Ever since his mother was defeated by Lin Yi, she had become somewhat deranged.

"Lin Yi, you'll be alright, right?" Katakuri muttered to himself. He wasn't worried about Lin Yi, but rather that perhaps only Lin Yi could treat Charlotte Linlin's current condition.

Chapter 96 The Demon-Slaying Order with a Bizarre Art Style

"Brother Lin Yi, there's a navy man outside looking for you. He seems to be the same one who ordered us to fire on them before," Felina said as she walked in, her voice still tinged with anger, clearly remembering what had happened last time.

"Oh, why did he come to see me?" Lin Yi asked, puzzled.

"I don't know, he said he'd tell you when he saw you."

"Alright, I'll go see him." Lin Yi said and then disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already outside the villa.

Upon seeing Lin Yi appear, Roy hurriedly said, "You should leave Sabaody Archipelago quickly, the World Government is already on its way."

After finishing his words hastily, Roy was about to leave, but Lin Yi stopped him. Lin Yi asked curiously, "Why are you telling me all this? Do you know that if the World Government finds out about your actions, you'll probably die a terrible death?"

“I owe you my life, and I know you’re not a bad person. I don’t want you to die in vain,” Roy said with a somewhat forlorn air.

"Although I already knew this news, I still want to thank you," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Roy was startled. His source of information was quite reliable—he learned of this secret through a friend at Navy Headquarters. However, he was surprised that Lin Yi also knew about it.

"Then why are you still staying here? Aren't you afraid that the World Government will wipe you out?" Roy asked anxiously.

Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and he said, "Haha, the reason we're not running away is naturally because we have enough strength to resist the World Government's retaliation. Moreover, if we really ran away, then the Sabaody Archipelago would probably be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Roy frowned. He didn't understand what danger Lin Yi was talking about. When he tried to ask further, Lin Yi had already disappeared. Seeing this, Roy had no choice but to leave with a belly full of questions.

The World Government fleet was traveling at a fast speed, and since it was not far away, it arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago in just over an hour.

Upon seeing this, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel quickly stepped forward to report the situation.

"Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, Lin Yi and the others are still in the Sabaody Archipelago, aren't they?" Saint Sigdal asked casually.

"Yes, under our surveillance, Lin Yi and his group did not leave the Sabaody Archipelago, but stayed there to enjoy themselves," Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel replied respectfully.

“Very well, you can go and prepare. Await my order, and we will launch a carpet bombing attack on the Sabaody Archipelago. I will wipe the entire Sabaody Archipelago off the face of the earth,” Saint Sigdal said coldly.
