One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

The fangs in Satan's mouth transformed into two long swords, which he held in his hands. His body also surged with violent energy, and he and Satan engaged in close combat with Lin Yi.

Mazsan transformed back into Itsumade form, its ferocious and terrifying body hovering above Lin Yi and the others, occasionally seizing an opportunity to strike Lin Yi. The terrifying attacks made Lin Yi dare not let his guard down.

Despite being surrounded by four people, Lin Yi showed no fear. He circulated his internal energy, forming a powerful shield that blocked all the attacks. Then, he flashed into the encirclement of the Five Elders, engaging in fierce close-quarters combat. In an instant, the wind howled with punches, energy overflowed, and the battle entered a white-hot phase.

The earth-shattering battle on this side made those watching it tremble with fear. Even the slightest touch of such energy fluctuations would pulverize them, making it hard to imagine just how strong the six people on the battlefield were.

Influenced by them, the fighting of the others slowed down.

Hawkeye and Bear immediately stopped what they were doing and started watching intently.

After exchanging blows with Gringu Saint, Da Pan also stopped fighting. Although Gringu Saint and Sigder Saint's strength had not yet reached the King level, they were very close. Da Pan really couldn't defeat the two brothers in a short time. Both sides were seriously injured, and if they continued to fight, they would likely be mutually injured. There were many strong people around, and it would not be a good thing if they were seriously injured.

Although Da Pan has the spatial marker left by Lin Yi, he doesn't want to be teleported away now.

Compared to Da Pan's relaxed expression, the Green brothers looked much uglier, because they discovered that one of their five general-level subordinates had been killed, and another was in bad shape.

Seeing this, Grimm had no choice but to order them to withdraw from the battle. Felina and the others did not pursue them. Although they had the upper hand, the enemy was, after all, a general-level expert. His counterattack before his death was still very fierce. Felina was injured in this way, and it was only because Lin Yi left them a lot of healing medicine that Felina would have lost her fighting ability by now.

Seeing that Felina and the others had stopped fighting, the fish-man brothers who were fighting Garp and Sengoku, as well as Fiona, also withdrew from the battle. However, their condition was much worse in comparison. Although Sengoku and Garp did not kill them, there was still a gap in strength between the two sides, so they were seriously injured.

The battle between Kizaru and Jinbe also stopped. It was certain that Jinbe was no match for Kizaru, but with the veteran actor Kizaru holding back, Jinbe was incredibly brave and fought fiercely. Various giant waves, like natural disasters, rose and fell, and the intensity was only slightly less than the battlefield of Lin Yi and his group.

After all sides ceased fighting, they all turned their attention to Lin Yi and his team's battlefield. They understood that the key to victory or defeat lay with them.

Chapter 101 The Five Elders' Defeat

Lin Yi frowned as he looked at the mangled body of Mazsan. This was the third time he had killed him. Not only that, the other four Five Elders were also killed by him two or three times, but without exception, they all revived in a very short time, as if they were immortal.

Pitsa's enormous mandibles emerged from beneath Lin Yi, its densely packed teeth snapping at him. Helpless, Lin Yi had no choice but to abandon his observation of Mazsa's resurrection; he didn't want to get his hands on the sandworm's mucus.

"You guys are quite capable!" Lin Yi's lips curled into a half-smile. "However, I'm quite curious whether you can really resurrect an unlimited number of times. Or rather, what kind of price do you have to pay for this so-called resurrection?"

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight to the heart of the Five Elders. The Five Elders' faces instantly turned extremely ugly. They exchanged a glance, and each saw a trace of fear and unease in the other's eyes.

In fact, this ability to resurrect is not something they possess inherently, but rather something they acquire through special means. And these means, naturally, require paying a considerable price.

Currently, those who have only been resurrected twice are still in good condition, at least they can maintain a certain level of combat power. However, the condition of Maz Saint and Vochuli Saint, who have been resurrected three times, is much worse. At this moment, they can't even maintain their beast form and have turned back into two old men. Moreover, their aura is weak. Lin Yi estimates that if he kills these two again, he can completely kill them.

When Lin Yi attacked again, the Five Elders were finally terrified. With their long lifespans, they cherished their lives more than ordinary people.

Satan Saint hurriedly shouted, "Lin Yi, we have lost this time. From now on, the World Government will no longer be your enemy. How about we call it quits?"

Lin Yi's blade moved with lightning speed, carrying a fierce momentum, and slashed fiercely at Nasshoulang Sheng's horse skeleton body. With a crisp "crack," the horse skeleton body seemed to have been stripped of its support, and flew out violently, teetering in the air as if it would fall apart completely at any moment.

However, Lin Yi completely ignored the terrified expression on Nassuro's face. His gaze was fixed intently on Satan. With a slight smile, Lin Yi said to Satan, "However, I still want to see where your limits really lie."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yi flashed forward like a ghost, his long sword drawing a cold light in the air as he aimed straight for Satan Saint's vitals.

Faced with Lin Yi's fierce offensive, Satan Saint's heart trembled, but he was, after all, a man who had lived for hundreds of years. He forced himself to remain calm and shouted, "Lin Yi, we have lived for so long, and we are not without our own tricks! If you insist on continuing to fight us, I'm afraid you will not gain any advantage!"

"Heh, is that so?" Lin Yi sneered, his speed undiminished. "Then bring out all your tricks. I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve to make us both lose!"

As he spoke, Lin Yi had already arrived in front of Satan Saint, and his long sword slashed at Satan Saint like a storm. This slash contained endless power, as if it wanted to tear Satan Saint to shreds.

Satan Sheng inwardly cried out in alarm. He knew he was no match for Lin Yi, and a direct confrontation would only hasten his death. So, without hesitation, he unleashed his ultimate survival technique—the two bull horns on his head blazed with black light, instantly unleashing two crescent-shaped black energy attacks that flew straight toward Lin Yi.

Seeing this, Lin Yi's lips curled into a disdainful smile. He swung his black blade sharply, its blade gleaming with a cold light, colliding violently with the two crescent-shaped attacks. In an instant, a deafening roar resounded as the black energy attacks were easily shattered by the black blade, turning into countless black fragments that scattered in all directions.

However, the instant Lin Yi shattered the attack, Satan Saint seized the opportunity to quickly retreat, creating some distance between himself and Lin Yi. He was panting heavily, secretly relieved that he had reacted quickly enough, otherwise this attack might have cost him his life.

"Heh, if your backup plan is to escape, then you'll all be dead today." Lin Yi said mockingly, watching Satan Saint's disheveled escape.

Seeing Satan Saint so badly forced by Lin Yi, Pit Saint couldn't help but feel anxious. He quickly shouted, "Lin Yi, don't be so smug! The Five-Star Anti-Space Array isn't just about sealing off space; it has an even more powerful function: it can detonate spatial energy! At that time, even if you don't die, you'll be badly injured!"

"Oh, I see. So this is your backup plan? You've really disappointed me. I guess you'll be attacked just as much while trapped in the formation after the space is detonated," Lin Yi said calmly, showing no sign of being intimidated by Saint Pitt's words.

"Hmph, so what? We can be resurrected, but you only have one life. Do you still dare to fight us?" Nasu Shoulang Sheng said in a tough tone, as if he had found Lin Yi's weakness.

"Haha, you old guys don't actually think your bullshit formation can restrain me, do you? I was just teasing you." Lin Yi laughed heartily.

Then, with a light tap of his finger, Lin Yi broke the Five-Star Anti-Air Array that the Five Elders relied on, and the five energy stones that the World Government had painstakingly created turned into powder and dissipated in the air.

"This, how is this possible?" Saint Satan exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, now that your backup plan is gone, tell me, how do you want to die?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

Looking at Lin Yi's bright smile, the Five Elders felt a chill in their hearts; this guy really intended to keep them all here.

"Run!" the five shouted in unison, and then flew away into the distance without regard for anything else.

"Haha, do you think you can escape? I'll show you my spatial sealing technique." Lin Yi laughed loudly, stretched out one hand, and clenched it tightly, instantly binding the Five Elders to their spot.

Lin Yi drew his sword to end their lives, but at that moment, a white light emanated from the Five Elders. After the light faded, the Five Elders had broken free from Lin Yi's spatial confinement.

Lin Yi frowned, about to make another move, when a faint, illusory figure appeared. It was impossible to tell whether the figure was male or female, nor could its face be discerned. Before the figure could speak, a voice rang in Lin Yi's mind: "Could you give me some face and spare them this time?"

"who are you?"

"I am Im," the voice said again.

Lin Yi never expected to meet this supposedly villainous boss from the One Piece world at this time.

Although he was shaken, Lin Yi still said, "Why should I give you face?"

Although Lin Yi's words were very impolite, the voice still said without any emotion, "Back then, you ruined that person's plan, and I shielded you from his revenge. You owe me a debt of karma."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was filled with mixed emotions, but he finally nodded and said, "In that case, I'll give you face."

The illusory image of "可" disappeared after leaving behind a single character.

As the phantom disappeared, the Five Elders also fled far away.

Chapter 102 The Return of Mary Geoise

After the Five Elders escaped, Lin Yi remained suspended in place, silently pondering things.

The reason he let the Five Elders escape wasn't simply to give Im face; he had other considerations.

Firstly, Lin Yi sensed a strong life force from Im's phantom image, suggesting that Im must be a user of the Life Fruit, and that the Five Elders' resurrection was probably due to Im's methods.

Moreover, even a mere phantom image already made Lin Yi feel a sense of pressure, making it hard to imagine just how strong Im's true form was. However, no matter how strong Im was, Lin Yi was not afraid of him. With time and space at his fingertips, no one in this world could defeat him.

Secondly, Lin Yi already knew what the cause and effect Im was talking about was all about. When he was still weak, he had killed two talking ancient trees in the West Sea and East Sea. At that time, he felt that things were a bit strange. Now it seems that they were indeed pawns set up by someone else. He also had some guesses about the person who was playing the game through the history of Bika.

Thirdly, these five elders can be considered experience points in the One Piece storyline, so it would be a good choice to let Luffy kill them later.

Upon seeing Lin Yi defeat the combined forces of the Five Elders, Da Pan and the others excitedly flew towards Lin Yi.

"Haha, big brother, you've really gotten stronger again." Da Pan laughed proudly.

Lin Yi smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "This is nothing. The Five Elders are nothing special either."

"Brother Lin Yi, are you alright?" Felina checked Lin Yi's condition with some concern. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was really okay, and then excitedly told Lin Yi about the battle that had just taken place.

The others were also talking all at once about the battle that had just taken place.

"Hehe, Lin Yi, your methods are getting more and more impressive. Even the Five Elders working together are no match for you." At this moment, a somewhat sentimental voice came over. Lin Yi looked over and found that it was Hawkeye, the expressionless man.

So he laughed and said, "I owe you another favor this time."

Hawkeye naturally knew what Lin Yi was talking about. He waved his hand and said, "With your strength, they will be fine even without my help."

"Haha, I still want to thank you no matter what. I'll treat you to drinks later," Lin Yi said with a smile.

When Hawkeye recalled the fragrant wine in Lin Yi's hand, a slight smile involuntarily crept onto his usually expressionless face.

After thanking Hawkeye, Lin Yi turned his gaze to the others.

By this time, the World Government personnel had already scattered like birds and beasts, and even some of the invited Shichibukai had hurriedly left. Clearly, seeing Lin Yi's victory, they knew this was no place to linger, and so they all made their escape.

Those who remained were those who had helped Lin Yi's side in the recent battle. These included Jinbe, Boa Hancock, and Crocodile.

As for the Navy, Sengoku and Kizaru were busy gathering the panicked naval soldiers.

Garp, however, lay nonchalantly on a broken piece of deck, leisurely watching the chaos unfold, as if it had nothing to do with him. This infuriated Sengoku, who would occasionally yell at Garp while working.

Ignoring the navy personnel, Lin Yi said to the Empress and the others, "Thank you all for your help this time. I owe you all a favor. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to help."

"You're too kind, Mr. Lin Yi. You've been kind to our Fish-Man race, how could I possibly help the World Government fight against you?" Jinbe said sincerely.

"I have a grudge against the Celestial Dragons. You killed them, which can be considered revenge for me. So helping you this time is my way of thanking you," the Empress said with a smile.

Crocodile didn't speak, but his gaze towards Lin Yi was somewhat resentful. This time, he had really offended the World Government, and his future days would probably not be so easy.

Pretending not to notice Crocodile's resentment, Lin Yi addressed the crowd, saying, "For your safety, please follow me to a place."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Yi with confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Lin Yi explained, "Although the Five Elders can't deal with us, it's hard to guarantee they won't resort to underhanded tactics against those around us. They've done something similar before, but I thwarted them, so we still need to warn them."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Jinbe and the Empress felt a sudden unease. They began to realize the potential consequences of their previous actions and couldn't help but feel flustered.

Jinbe, as a powerful member of the Fish-Man race, has every decision that could affect the fate of the entire race. Empress Boa Hancock, and her Amazon Lily, also face potential threats. Their previous intervention to help Lin Yi was not well-considered, but rather based on their trust and friendship with him.

However, they now realized that their actions had been somewhat impulsive. After all, the World Government was incredibly powerful, and if they retaliated against Jinbe and Hancock, their people would likely suffer a great catastrophe.

Lin Yi seemed to sense their panic, and he quickly reassured them, "Don't worry, I'm going there to give those five elders a warning. They were just defeated by me, so they shouldn't attack my friends when they can't beat me."

He paused, then continued, "Furthermore, even if something unexpected happens, my spatial abilities will allow me to quickly provide support. So, you can rest assured."

After hearing Lin Yi's words, the Empress and Jinbe felt their unease eased somewhat. However, their worries were not completely eliminated, as the World Government's methods were unpredictable.

Lin Yi didn't offer any further comfort, figuring they wouldn't worry once they found out what they'd done.

He allowed everyone to rest, giving the Five Elders ample time to return to Mary Geoise. After all, Lin Yi's earlier threat would be meaningless if they weren't present.

About an hour later, Lin Yi led everyone onto the Angel Judgment.

Lin Yi stood at the bow of the ship and casually waved his hand in mid-air, and a wide spatial portal suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes. The portal appeared without any warning, as if it had always been there.

The moment the portal appeared, the Angel Judgment, piloted by Dote and Simon, took off rapidly, shooting straight toward the portal like an arrow.

Hawkeye and the others were seeing a flying ship for the first time, and they couldn't help but become very interested in the Angel's Judgment. Everyone curiously looked at this amazing ship, eager to find out more.

However, before they could observe carefully, the Angel Judgment had already passed through the portal like lightning and arrived above Mary Geoise in the blink of an eye.

Looking down at the luxurious Mary Geoise, Lin Yi smiled slightly, wondering what would happen if he fired a shot at such a magnificent place.

Chapter 103 Warning

Lin Yi unleashed his Observation Haki, wanting to see if the Five Elders were still in the city.

Before long, Lin Yi found the five people. At this time, they were hiding in a secret room. In addition to the five of them, there was a large amount of medicinal herbs in the secret room. In Lin Yi's perception, these medicinal herbs faintly emitted a fluorescent light and flowed into the bodies of the five elders.

As these fluorescent lights merged in, the Five Elders' pale faces gradually regained some color.

"Damn it, this time it might take at least thirty years to recover," Satan Saint said fiercely.
