One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

The others nodded in agreement.

Lin Yi arrived at the location where the Silver Dragon was docked. With a thought, he stored the massive Silver Dragon in his spatial storage. A great battle was about to break out here, and to avoid damage to the Silver Dragon, it was safer to store it in his spatial storage.

Soon, three massive warships sailed toward the island where they were.

Lin Yi and his companions waited quietly. Lin Yi smiled and said to his friends, "Finally, I feel a bit like I'm being wanted."

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

On the warship, Saint Butaris looked at Lin Yi and his companions, who stood fearlessly on the small island, his face frosty.

“These lowly people, instead of begging for mercy in fear when they see us, they are so calm,” Saint Butaris said through gritted teeth.

He then ordered the island where Lin Yi and his group were located to be shelled.

Kizaru and Akainu felt that Saint Butaris's actions were pointless. If the Silver Dragon were here, the shelling might have been effective in protecting it, but since the Silver Dragon was absent, the shelling would have little impact on Lin Yi and his group's strength. However, they didn't stop him, after all, Saint Butaris was the commander of this operation.

As expected, the shells aimed at Lin Yi and his companions were detonated in mid-air by Fiona using thin threads before they even landed, infuriating Saint Butaris. He had come to achieve something, but his first attempt seemed to have gone poorly.

As the warship approached the shore, the navy and CP0 elite squads jumped aboard.

Kizaru took the lead, walking slowly forward with his hands in his pockets. "Hey, long time no see, Brother Lin Yi."

Lin Yi chuckled lightly, "Admiral Kizaru, you've got quite a force to be reckoned with this time."

Kizaru shrugged and said, "It's because Brother Lin Yi is so dangerous. If we didn't bring more people, we probably wouldn't be a match for you."

Butaris Saint rudely interrupted the two men's reminiscing, saying coldly, "Lin Yi, you first maliciously murdered a naval colonel, and now you have murdered a noble Celestial Dragon. Today, I, Butaris Saint, on behalf of the World Government, will kill you here. If you know what's good for you, then commit suicide."

"Hahaha, Mr. Kizaru, who is this guy? Why does he speak without thinking? Or do you really think you can take me down with just a few of you?" Lin Yi said disdainfully.

Kizaru was speechless at Butaris's intellect.

But since he was the leader, Kizaru had no choice but to say, "This is Saint Butaris, the commander of this naval operation. Lin Yi, the World Government and the Navy won't let you off easily this time. Your situation isn't looking good."

Akainu, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up: "Lin Yi, I used to admire you, but you've been incredibly foolish this time."

"Mr. Akainu, please tell me, in that situation, what should I have done? Should I have surrendered and been blown up by that damned Celestial Dragon Pig with a cannonball, or should I have slunk away?" Lin Yi asked.

Akainu didn't answer anything else; he only said, "You shouldn't have killed the Celestial Dragons."

Meanwhile, Saint Butaris, who was standing to the side, had already lost his patience. He said angrily, "Don't waste your breath on him, let's... ah..."

But before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his arm. He looked down and was horrified to see a distorted spatial vortex appearing at his right elbow. His arm was twisted off as if by a human within this vortex, falling straight to the ground.

Kamui - Distortion.

Butaris Saint immediately clutched his severed arm and screamed in agony.

Kizaru and Akainu were immediately shocked, not expecting Lin Yi to attack so suddenly and with such bizarre methods.

"Kill him, kill him!" Saint Butaris roared angrily, but the next moment he found himself unable to move.

Upon seeing this, the CP0 elite squad hurriedly tried to protect Saint Butaris, but the strangeness of the space was beyond the ability of these few people, who did not even have the strength of an admiral, to defend against.

Lin Yi vanished from his spot, teleporting through space.

Akainu quickly shouted, "Watch out!"

Kizaru even transformed into a flash of light to try and rescue him, but it was too late. The moment they saw Lin Yi disappear, Lin Yi had already arrived in front of Saint Butaris. Ignoring his terrified eyes, Lin Yi swung the Annihilation in his hand, and a good head fell to the ground.

By the time Kizaru flew to Potaris Saint's side, Lin Yi had already returned to his previous position.

The speed of space is the fastest.

Saint Butaris was indeed powerful; otherwise, he wouldn't have been qualified to compete with Saint Sigder for the position of leader of the CP organization. However, he died before he could even unleash his full power, succumbing to Lin Yi's spatial abilities—a truly pathetic death.

The captain of the CP0 elite squad, realizing what had happened, roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot, "Damn brat! How dare you... how dare you kill Saint Butaris! Ahhh, I'll tear you to pieces!"

After saying that, he led his squad and charged towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi chuckled, then suddenly clasped his hands together. Instantly, the space became like a cube, firmly imprisoning the group in the center. Moreover, this space kept shrinking, as if it wanted to compress the group into a lump of flesh and blood.

The profound meaning of space—space compression.

Upon seeing this, Akainu and Kizaru hurriedly shouted, "Stop!" and at the same time, they began to launch an attack on Lin Yi.

Seeing this, Da Pan grinned and charged at Kizaru. He hadn't settled the score with Kizaru in their last fight, and this time he was determined to beat up this lewd old man.

Kizaru had no choice but to engage Da Pan in battle. He already understood that the joint operation between the World Government and the Navy had failed. Although they had tried to overestimate Lin Yi's strength, they had all underestimated him; the Space-Space Fruit's power was simply too overpowered.

Meanwhile, Felina, Fiona, Simon, Dota, and Chiyo confronted the five vice admirals who had accompanied the Navy. Reiju, on the other hand, faced off against the remaining Navy personnel.

In mid-air, Akainu, his face dark, said to Lin Yi, "You have fallen into evil."

Lin Yi laughed loudly upon hearing Akainu's words: "So-called justice and evil are merely your own definitions. I am simply protecting the weak, while you are the ones aiding and abetting evil. Your justice has begun to turn hypocritical."

With that, he clenched his fist, and instantly, those CP0 members exploded into a pile of flesh and blood.

"Damn it!" Akainu was furious at the sight. Without saying anything more, he transformed into a ball of lava and rushed towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi, however, was in no hurry to fight Akainu. His figure blurred in the air, and Akainu's attacks all missed.

"Lin Yi, is all you can do is hide?" Akainu roared angrily.

"Admiral Akainu, no rush. I just have a few questions for you," Lin Yi said with a smile, but there was a hint of disgust in his smile.

Akainu naturally sensed this disgust, but he was somewhat puzzled. It was his first time meeting Lin Yi, so where did this disgust come from?

"Hmph, I have nothing to talk to you about," Akainu sneered, continuing his attack on Lin Yi.

But how could he possibly attack Lin Yi, who was hiding in the void?

Lin Yi said coldly, "Akainu, I'm asking you, were you the one who ordered the bombardment of the Ohara refugee ship back then?"

Akainu felt a chill run down his spine. Could Lin Yi be an orphan who escaped from Ohara Island?

But he said calmly, "It was I who gave the order."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi angrily retorted, "Then you truly deserve to die!"

Lin Yi stopped fading and charged towards Akainu with the Annihilation Blade in his hand.

He was determined to kill this beast whose hands were stained with the blood of innocent people, and no one could stop him.

(Thanks to Honglian from Diyun Mountain for the bubble tea, and thank you to all the other brothers for your hard work. Thank you so much!)

Chapter 70 Akainu, You Deserve to Die

Lin Yi, wielding the Annihilation Blade, instantly appeared in front of Akainu. The Annihilation Blade flashed with a cold light and slashed fiercely at Akainu. Akainu was prepared. His right fist transformed into magma, and jet-black Armament Haki covered his fist. He met Lin Yi's attack without fear.

A "bang" sounded as fist and sword clashed. At the moment of contact, Akainu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly separated from Lin Yi and jumped backward.

The magma slowly disappeared, revealing its original form. Akainu looked at the bloodstains on his fist with a solemn expression. He hadn't expected Lin Yi's blade to be so sharp that even his fist, protected by Armament Haki, couldn't completely defend against Lin Yi's ordinary attack.

At this moment, he clearly realized the immense power of Lin Yi (below his usual strength). His strange spatial abilities, sharp swordsmanship, and domineering aura combined with his strength had surpassed the level of a general.

But Lin Yi had no intention of giving Akainu any time to think! He moved like lightning, charging forward once more with incredible ferocity.

Seeing this, Akainu knew something was wrong and hurriedly tried to use his elemental transformation ability again to dodge the thunderous attack. But just as he was about to make a move, his body suddenly froze, as if he were tightly bound by an invisible and powerful force, unable to move at all.

"Not good!" Akainu thought to himself, a sense of crisis he had never felt before surged into his heart. He dared not hesitate for a moment and hurriedly used all his strength to mobilize the Armament Haki within his body, trying to forcefully break through this strange restraint.

Just then, Lin Yi's attack roared in! "Annihilation," carrying unparalleled power and a sharp blade capable of severing all things in the world, slashed straight at Akainu's neck. In an instant, cold light flashed, killing intent filled the air, and the entire space seemed to freeze because of this terrifying blow.

"This guy... he really wants to kill me!" Akainu had never felt death so close to him as he did at this moment, so close that it was almost within reach.

At the critical moment of life and death, Akainu unleashed astonishing potential, finally breaking through the stubborn restraint at the last instant. Just as the deadly blade was about to mercilessly strike his neck, Akainu, with lightning speed, leaned his body backward, simultaneously and without hesitation transforming his entire body into an elemental form, becoming a blazing fire.

Unfortunately, although Akainu managed to dodge the fatal blow, the incredibly sharp blade of "Annihilation" in Lin Yi's hand still left a deep, bloody, and gruesome wound on his left shoulder.

Clutching his injured left shoulder, Akainu stared at Lin Yi with a grave expression. He couldn't understand why Lin Yi, who had always held back against the Marines, would suddenly attack him so ruthlessly. Could it really be because of the Ohara incident?

"Akainu, do you know why I hate you?" Lin Yi suddenly said.

Although injured, Akainu stood ramrod straight, his fierce aura undiminished. He said coldly, "If you intend to humiliate me, I advise you not to waste your breath. I have dedicated my life to upholding justice, and you cannot sway my resolve with a few words."

"Ha, is killing innocent civilians also a form of justice?" Lin Yi said with a sneer.

“What do you know? Justice is meaningless if it is not carried out thoroughly,” Akainu said seriously.

"Hahahaha, Akainu, you really have no humanity! Who are those civilians? They are innocent civilians selected by the CP organization commissioned by the World Government. Even a brutal and ruthless organization like CP is willing to give those innocent people a way out. Why do you, who claims to be fighting for justice, want to kill them all?" Lin Yi questioned loudly.

"Hmph!" Akainu snorted coldly, his face full of disdain and indifference. His sharp, eagle-like eyes were fixed on his opponent, as if he could see through the soul to the most hidden corners of his heart.

"Do you know what unimaginable consequences would result if scholars from Ohara were to infiltrate this group?" Akainu's voice was deep and authoritative, carrying an unquestionable tone.

He paused briefly, then continued, "The World Government has warned those people, but they persisted. So they have no one to blame but themselves for their deaths. The Buster Call exists to eliminate all factors that threaten the world."

At this point, Akainu became increasingly agitated. He waved his arms and roared, "Those scholars of Ohara actually dared to attempt to incite panic throughout the world by searching for the truth of history! Their behavior is utterly rebellious and deserves to die! Since the World Government has issued the Buster Call, we must resolutely carry it out and completely eradicate these potential threats!"

Akainu took a deep breath to calm himself down, but his eyes remained unwavering: "So, since we've started, let's go all the way! Eliminate all those people. Only in this way can we truly eliminate all potential threats and ensure world peace and tranquility!" After saying this, Akainu straightened up, head held high, like an unshakeable mountain.

"Heh, Admiral Akainu is quite good at boasting. Is studying history really such a heinous crime? You probably know in your heart that this is just an excuse for the World Government to cover up the truth of history."

Lin Yi sneered disdainfully and continued, "Those scholars had no ability but still violated the World Government's taboos. They have no one to blame but themselves for their deaths. But those civilians were so innocent. Akainu, that wasn't just one or two people, but thousands upon thousands. For a minuscule possibility, you could order the shelling of them without hesitation. Have you lost your conscience? And you still call yourself righteous? Where's your face?"

Finally, Lin Yi shouted, "I have never seen such a shameless person as you!"

Seeing his sense of justice insulted by Lin Yi, Akainu, his body oozing with magma, roared angrily, "I did nothing wrong!"

A powerful aura erupted, a large amount of magma gathered, and Akainu suddenly charged towards Lin Yi.

"Haunted Dog"

The fiery red arm extended rapidly, attacking Lin Yi. Lin Yi wielded the Annihilation Blade, and an unparalleled blade of light cleaved the incoming magma in two. But the next moment, an even larger mass of magma, like a volcanic eruption, surged towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi dodged in a flash, but the magma exploded the instant he moved away, and the shockwave made his clothes flutter wildly.

The exploding lava transformed into countless fiery balls, hurtling towards Lin Yi like meteors.

It has to be said that Akainu's strength is still very strong. For example, there are very few people who can escape this magma meteor that is like an apocalyptic disaster.

Of course, this did not include Lin Yi, but he did not dodge. Countless spatial blades appeared, and the dense spatial slashes shattered all the magma, turning it into countless small sparks.

Akainu's attack hadn't stopped yet. As the magma exploded, he was already gathering his strength, seeing Lin Yi easily destroy the magma fireball.

A resolute look appeared on Akainu's face. Without further hesitation, he unleashed a barrage of massive lava fists from his fists, which then rained down like a meteor shower. He attempted to bury Lin Yi and the island together with this attack.

Lin Yi sensed a large amount of magma energy gathering and just then witnessed Akainu unleashing this attack.

Lin Yi was furious. He knew that the island was not only occupied by Akainu and himself, but also by Da Pan and his group, as well as a large number of marines. If this attack were to land on the island, he and his friends might be fine, but the marines would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

The naval soldiers still fighting looked up in horror at the sky, stunned by the apocalyptic scene.

Kizaru's expression was grim, and for the first time, he felt a surge of resentment towards Akainu. He truly hadn't expected Akainu to be so ruthless, disregarding the lives of ordinary Marine soldiers just to kill Lin Yi.

The Navy was flustered by Akainu's powerful attack, but Da Pan and his men were unaffected and continued their fierce and ruthless attacks because they believed Lin Yi could handle it.
