One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

Although he was mentally prepared, Vice Admiral Momonga still felt a slight tremor when he heard that the Sabaody Archipelago was really going to be wiped out. He had carried out Buster Calls before, but in most cases, he would notify the innocent civilians to evacuate in advance. Just like Ohara Island, if Akainu hadn't acted on his own initiative, not many people would have died on Ohara Island.

In order to prevent Lin Yi and his group from escaping in advance, the World Government actually did not plan to allow the civilians of Sabaody Archipelago to evacuate ahead of time, which numbered nearly 100,000.

Seeing that Lieutenant General Squirrel was standing there motionless, Saint Sigdal said unhappily, "What, don't you understand orders?"

"I wouldn't dare, I'll go prepare right away," Lieutenant General Squirrel said hastily, snapping out of his daze. He then quickly left, his gaze unusually complex as he departed.

More than a dozen massive warships, like steel behemoths, swiftly surrounded the Sabaody Archipelago. This sudden turn of events threw the islanders into a panic, filling them with intense unease. They stared wide-eyed at the menacing warships, their faces full of suspicion, completely bewildered by their arrival.

However, this doubt did not last long. While people were still whispering and gossiping, Saint Sigdal issued an order to more than a dozen warships, a command that resounded like thunder across the sea. Immediately afterward, the cannons of those warships simultaneously spewed blinding flashes of light, and a barrage of powerful shells rained down on the Sabaody Archipelago.

In an instant, the sky above the Sabaody Archipelago was shrouded in a dark mass of shells, as if the end of the world had arrived. These shells hurtled towards the islands at astonishing speed, carrying the power to destroy everything, sending chills down one's spine.

"Ahhh, run! The army is going to bombard the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"Damn it, which beast is so ruthless?"

"Oh God, this must be a dream... Holy crap, who the hell hit me?"

"Holy crap, it's true, there really are people this horrible."

"You son of a bitch, if you dare hit me, I'll kill you first."

"Aaaaah, I'm about to die, why are you taking your pants off?"

"Come on, I want to fuck you before I die."

"The bombs are about to fall, it's too late."

"It's okay, I'm short on time."

"..."

As the warships began firing their shells, the Sabaody Archipelago was thrown into chaos. People frantically sought shelter, but with such intense artillery fire, where was there any place that was safe?

The sound of explosions rang out, and people closed their eyes as if resigned to their fate. However, after a long time, the scene of being blown to pieces as they had imagined did not happen. People opened their eyes and looked up at the sky.

They could see shells still flying densely towards them from mid-air, but these shells were all blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Am I dreaming? Is God coming to save us?... Holy crap, you little brat, you hit me again."

"Holy crap, someone really saved us... Ouch, you fucking tried to kill my brother? I'll fight you to the death!"

"Damn it, you're lying to me, why aren't you done yet?"

"Stop it, don't you like it?"

"Um...it's alright, let's continue."

"Wife, wife... I'm here, are you alright...? Holy crap, Lao Wang, you dare to sleep with my wife, I'll fuck you to death..."

"Damn, bro, don't be impulsive, I'm just here to unclog the sewers."

"Aaaaaah, I'm going to kill you..."

Roy watched the shells exploding in mid-air, a chill running through him. He now understood what Lin Yi meant when he said that if he left, the Sabaody Archipelago would be in danger. He hadn't expected the World Government to be so brutal, actually wanting to destroy the Sabaody Archipelago. This completely shattered his long-held beliefs.

After watching the fireworks display for a while, Lin Yi said to his companions, "Let's go out and see what big gift the World Government has prepared for us."

"Haha, big brother, this time I'm going to fight to my heart's content!" Da Pan grinned.

The others also showed expressions of eagerness.

"Haha, let's have a good fight then."

Chapter 97 The Great Battle Begins

St. Sigdal stared intently at the shells that were easily blocked by the invisible barrier, his face growing increasingly grim.

He was secretly amazed. Lin Yi's strength was terrifying, so powerful that he could withstand the bombardment of eighteen of the most advanced warships by himself and protect the entire Sabaody Archipelago! This far exceeded his previous estimation of Lin Yi's strength.

Saint Sigdel took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then instantly appeared in the sky above the Sabaody Archipelago like a ghost.

He looked down at the crowd below, his eyes cold as ice, and his aura began to surge violently. His arms were gradually covered by a layer of jet-black Armament Haki, which burned fiercely like black flames.

Without hesitation, Saint Schöndel raised his fist and swung it fiercely at the spatial barrier below.

This punch was like a thunderbolt, carrying unparalleled power. It even tore the air apart, producing a sharp and ear-piercing explosion.

However, the spatial barrier remained unresponsive to the fierce attack from Saint Sigder, standing firmly as if it were indestructible.

When Sigdal saw that his all-out attack could not break through the seemingly fragile barrier, a shadow of gloom rose in his heart.

He frowned deeply and once again mustered all his strength.

His body began to emanate a dense black light, a manifestation of Armament Haki. His muscles tensed, veins bulged, and he resembled a volcano about to erupt, brimming with boundless power.

With a roar, Saint Sigdel leaped high into the air like an enraged lion. His body traced a black arc through the air before unleashing another devastating punch with overwhelming force.

This punch was even more powerful than before; the black light on the fist, like a burning flame, illuminated the entire space. The force of the punch howled, sweeping in like a violent hurricane.

This time, the spatial barrier finally reacted. The moment Saint Schöder's fist made contact with the barrier, a dull thud was heard, and then the transparent spatial barrier rippled like water.

But that was all. After the ripples subsided, the spatial barrier became transparent again. Although Saint Sigder could not see its existence, Saint Sigder knew that it was still there.

Although Saint Schöder's punch was incredibly powerful, it had no effect on the spatial barrier. Instead, the enormous recoil was like a surging wave, crashing heavily into his body.

His body jolted violently, and his figure trembled in mid-air.

He swayed a few times, then flew backward like a kite with a broken string. He stumbled back several steps in the air before barely managing to regain his balance.

At this moment, Lin Yi and the others also flew into the air. Seeing the somewhat disheveled Saint Sigder, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hehe, little Golden Roc, after all this time, you still haven't made any progress. You can't even break through the spatial barrier that I casually set up."

Upon seeing Lin Yi and his group, St. Sigdel fled back to the warship without a word, not even responding to Lin Yi's teasing. Clearly, he still remembered being easily subdued by Lin Yi in the office last time.

"Lin Yi, why does this guy seem a little afraid of you?" Fiona, standing behind Lin Yi, asked with some confusion.

"Haha, that guy must have been beaten up by the boss," Da Pan laughed.

"Haha, just a clown. We'll deal with him later. I'll take care of those flies first." Lin Yi waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry about St. Sigdel.

Immediately afterwards, he reached for the long sword at his waist, and with a "whoosh," the sword flashed out, gleaming with a cold light. This sword was none other than "Annihilation," which Lin Yi had not used for a long time.

As the longsword was drawn, Lin Yi's gaze instantly turned cold and sharp. He stared intently at the enemy before him, his eyes filled with disgust and resentment towards these people who abused weapons and committed atrocities. In his view, even if these people were acting under orders, it could not conceal the blood and sins stained their hands.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, steadied himself, and then swung his sword sharply. In an instant, a dazzling blade of light ripped through the void like lightning, flying straight forward. This blade of light was like a roaring dragon, its imposing aura terrifying.

Surprisingly, the blade of light suddenly split into eighteen beams during its flight! These eighteen beams of light seemed to have a life of their own, each speeding along a different trajectory, their target being the eighteen warships.

The blade moved with incredible speed, reaching the eighteen warships in the blink of an eye. The soldiers on board stared wide-eyed in terror, trying to dodge but it was too late. In an instant, the blade pierced through the hulls, producing a piercing metallic tearing sound. The eighteen warships were sliced ​​to pieces like paper, fragments flying everywhere. Seawater rushed into the cabins, and the warships began to slowly sink.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw, their faces filled with horror. They had never expected Lin Yi to be so ruthless and merciless. After all, those were eighteen warships, and the number of soldiers on board was considerable.

Sengoku's heart tightened suddenly; he immediately realized the situation was dire and rushed over to check on Vice Admiral Momonga and the others. However, when he arrived at where Vice Admiral Momonga was, the scene before him brought him a slight sense of relief.

Although the navy's warships were also dismantled into pieces under Lin Yi's blade, fortunately, the casualties among the navy soldiers were not as severe as expected.

Upon seeing this, Sengoku quickly ordered Lieutenant General Squirrel, "Squirrel, you must organize men as soon as possible to retrieve all the soldiers who have fallen into the water."

Vice Admiral Squirrel dared not delay and quickly replied, "Yes, Marshal!" He then swiftly took action, directing the other naval soldiers to carry out the rescue operation.

Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Momonga secretly rejoiced. Thankfully, he had followed Fleet Admiral Sengoku's orders and deliberately deflected the cannonballs, avoiding a direct hit on the residential areas of the Sabaody Archipelago and instead firing them into the uninhabited waters off the islands. Otherwise, he would likely be dead, just like those World Government warships. He had just glanced at them; the people on those ships were in a terrible state, and he estimated that very few were alive.

With Lin Yi's move, the Five Elders could no longer sit still. They all left the warship and came into the air to confront Lin Yi and the others. They had also tried to block Lin Yi's attack, but their attacks were strangely dissolved when they met Lin Yi's blade light, and did not have any blocking effect at all.

"Lin Yi." Financial Martial God Izanbaron V. Nassshurou Saint glared angrily at Lin Yi, holding a long sword.

"Hehe, so you're the Five Elders?" Lin Yi said casually, facing the Five Elders who were glaring at him.

"Lin Yi, you will all die today," said Topman Vochuli Saint, the God of Law and Martial Arts, in a cold voice.

"Haha, use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve," Lin Yi laughed loudly.

"Attack!" With Nasujiro's command, Gringu and Sigdal led five World Government Admirals towards Da Pan and his group.

Chapter 98 Chaotic Battle

As the battle began, Da Pan and the others rushed towards Sigder Saint and his group. This time, because the opponents were quite strong, Lin Yi also released Bai Ze. Although this little guy was not strong due to his young age, his innate skill was quite abnormal. He could stack buffs on his teammates on the battlefield.

This boost includes speed, strength, and stamina, and it can also accelerate the recovery speed of your companions. With it, Da Pan and his team's combat power is equivalent to a small upgrade.

For example, right now, even the weakest two, Kree and Chiyo, can fight back against a general-level opponent. Pan is even fighting against the combined forces of Gringu and Sigdal.

Seeing that Saint Sigdal and his group had not gained the upper hand, Saint Nassjurou said with a gloomy expression to the Shichibukai who were still standing still, "Why aren't you making a move!"

After all, they still held the title of Shichibukai, and they still had to listen to the Five Elders, so the group had no choice but to take action.

However, when the group was halfway there, things turned out to be extremely unpleasant for the Five Elders.

Hawkeye blocked the bear's attack on Dota and forced it back with a single strike. He then engaged the bear in combat. After a brief moment of surprise, the bear understood Hawkeye's intentions and happily began fighting with him.

Gecko Moria rushed up to Chiyo, intending to capture her shadow, but unexpectedly, a small foot kicked him hard in the neck, almost breaking his neck, which was thicker than his head.

"Hancock, what are you doing?" Gecko Moria yelled at the Empress, clutching his injured neck.

"I'm sorry, I may have made a mistake," the Empress said, feigning remorse.

Her pitiful appearance almost made Gecko Moria fall for her. Gecko Moria struggled to wake up from the empress's beautiful face, but his pale face was still slightly flushed as he said, "Be careful next time, don't accidentally break your foot."

After saying that, Gecko Moria headed towards Reiju, but before he could make a move, he was kicked away by the Empress.

At this point, Gecko Moria was still unaware that Empress Hancock had betrayed them, so he angrily roared at her, "Hancock, are you going to betray the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"Of course I don't intend to betray the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I just don't like the look of you," the Empress said with a light smile.

"Ah, this is too much!" Gecko Moria, who had been kicked twice, was completely red-faced. He angrily attacked the Empress. The two were roughly equal in strength at this point in time, so for a while they fought back and forth.

Crocodile stopped Tesoro, the Golden Emperor, which surprised Tesoro slightly. However, he was not very angry, but rather curious as to why Crocodile would betray him.

"Mr. Crocodile, can you tell me why?" Tesoro asked while dealing with Crocodile's attacks.

"Alas, I've met the wrong person," Crocodile sighed.

"Looks like you've known that guy Lin Yi for a while now. But that's fine, I've been wanting to experience Crocodile's strength for a long time," Tezoro said, brimming with fighting spirit.

“That’s excellent.” Crocodile also became serious.

Seeing that the other Shichibukai had started fighting for no apparent reason, Jinbe was completely bewildered and didn't know what to do. He had just been thinking about how to stop these Shichibukai, but in the blink of an eye, things had turned out like this.

However, before he could be stunned for long, the Five Elders became furious.

Financial Martial God

Nasujiro said angrily, "I told you long ago that these damned pirates are not to be trusted. Now look what's happened, these bastards have turned around and bit us."

The Legal God of War, Topman Vochuli, frowned and said, "Alright, you agreed to the decision to establish the Seven Warlords of the Sea back then, so there's no use talking about it now. Let's think about what to do next."

"What else can we do? Kill them all! Kill them all! Sengoku, it's your turn!" Nasujuro Sei practically roared.
