One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

The others were somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this. Look, who said this guy was stupid? See how well he betrays his teammates?

If Jack knew what they were thinking, he would definitely spit on them. Wouldn't it be better for one to die than two? Besides, if it weren't for this guy, why would they have been so blinded by greed to challenge Lin Yi to a duel? It's all this guy's fault.

With a dark expression, Chuck shouted at Jack the Drought, "Captain, he's trying to sow discord between us. I'm loyal to you, how could I be a member of the World Government? Have you forgotten? I even stole a woman for you."

"Bullshit! You took that woman on your own initiative, I didn't tell you to steal her!" Jack the Drought roared angrily. You can call him cruel, but forcibly taking a woman is a blatant slander. In Wano Country, what kind of woman couldn't Jack the Drought have? Why would he steal her? Now he really thought this guy was an undercover agent, and that this guy wanted him dead.

"Then tell me, did you enjoy it or not?" Qiu Lishi looked at him with disdain.

Drought Jack blushed, a rare occurrence for him, and said somewhat hesitantly, "She and I fell in love later on, so what? Is that a problem?"

"You're mean."

"you...."

Churchill looked smugly at Jack the Drought, who had been rendered speechless by his retort, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.

Lin Yi slapped Qiu Lishi hard on the head, pulling him back to reality. "You're still a prisoner, what are you so smug about?"

"Speak, now that you're in my hands, think about how you're going to survive," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"What, aren't you supposed to be a righteous person who hates evil? You're not planning to let us go, are you?" Wei Hai'er continued to relentlessly provoke hatred.

Before Lin Yi could even speak, Drought Jack blurted out, "You World Government lackey, you old bastard, trying to incite our pirate crew to fight Lin Yi? You're out of your mind! Lin Yi is so smart, how could he fall for your trick? Bah! You filthy rats, I'll make sure my boss teaches you a lesson when I get back!"

At this moment, Blenheim and Atmos also realized what was happening, and they glared fiercely at Diphyados. Atmos said apologetically to Lin Yi, "Lin Yi, this time it was our fault. We offended you by listening to Diphyados's slander. I apologize to you, and we will give you satisfactory compensation later."

Difyados, realizing he had been exposed, no longer concealed himself. Like Weihaier, he spoke in a contemptuous tone: "Lin Yi, weren't you swift and decisive when you killed Sakazuki? Weren't you loudly denouncing Sakazuki's indiscriminate killing of innocents? What, are you going to show mercy to these heinous pirates now? Are you afraid of the people behind them? Heh, so you're nothing but a hypocrite who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Bah, I despise you."

Lin Yi remained expressionless, unmoved by his words. He chuckled lightly and said calmly to Difuados, "You don't need to provoke me. I have my own rules. You'd better think about your fate. As for you..."

Lin Yi pointed at Drought Jack and his group and suddenly laughed: "I'll sell you for a good price."

After saying that, he ignored the group. He would deal with these pirates, but not now. He would wait until he arrived in the New World and established his own power. Otherwise, killing these people would only make life even harder for the civilians. Although it was sad, in the New World, the credibility of the government was not as good as that of these great pirates.

The night began to quiet down. Since Da Pan and the others were drunk, Simon was on watch. There was no other way; there were quite a few wild animals in the small garden, and if no one was on watch, the wounded prisoners might be carried off by them.

Just as Simon was fully focused on guarding against the beasts that might attack at any moment, Willie, who had been sleeping peacefully, suddenly opened his eyes without warning. He first cautiously observed his surroundings, and when he found that Simon was completely focused on what was ahead and had not noticed him at all, a sinister smile instantly appeared on his face.

Then, Willie slowly turned his head, casting his gaze upon Drought Jack and the others who were still fast asleep. His mind was filled with twisted madness, and he muttered to himself, "Heh heh, come to hell with me!"

As soon as Wei Haier finished speaking, his right arm, which had been tightly bound, began to turn red rapidly, as if a raging fire was burning inside it. At the same time, an extremely violent energy was brewing and expanding within this red arm, seemingly ready to erupt at any moment.

Drought Jack, who had been in a light sleep, suddenly opened his eyes as if sensing some danger. When he saw Wesley's arm, which had turned as red-hot as iron and contained terrifying energy, he turned pale with fright and couldn't help but shout in terror, "Holy crap, a bomb!"

As Drought Jack cried out in alarm, the others were jolted awake. However, it was too late. Before their utterly horrified eyes, Willys's right arm finally exploded...

A deafening explosion, like a burst of fire, rang out, and a dazzling mushroom cloud rose from the small garden.

"Has a volcano erupted? Dorry, let's duel!" Brogy, who was drunk and confused, suddenly woke up after hearing the loud noise and shouted.

"Idiot, that's the sound of a bomb exploding," Donley said irritably.

Looking at the deep pit, about the size of a football field, Lin Yi's face was ashen, while Felina and the others turned pale with fright. If Lin Yi hadn't built a spatial defense barrier in time, they would have been killed by the powerful bomb without any warning.

"That's really decisive," Lin Yi praised, looking at the deep pit.

Chapter 13 The Angry Whitebeard Pirates

Just as Lin Yi was marveling at the ruthlessness of the World Government, a migratory bird witnessed the entire explosion above them. Then, a human-like smile appeared on its beak before it disappeared into the clouds and flew away into the distance.

After the migratory birds flew away, Lin Yi also revealed a bright smile.

"Brother, these people committed suicide, how can you still be laughing?" Da Pan turned his head and happened to see the smile on Lin Yi's lips, asking with some confusion. He and Duo Tai woke up when the explosion rang out, and although they were still a little dazed, at least they hadn't fallen into a deep sleep.

"Haha, anyway, none of these people are good people, so it's fine if they die," Lin Yi said nonchalantly.

"That's true, but these people are from the three major pirate crews after all. Getting entangled with them is always a hassle," Fiona said with a hint of helplessness. She used the word "hassle" rather than "danger," which showed that she still had a lot of confidence in Lin Yi.

"Haha, sister, I recently learned a really powerful move. When they come looking for trouble, I'll turn them all into hedgehogs with electricity!" Filina said with a grin, hooking her arm around Fiona's.

"That's right, if they dare to come, my Dragon Staff isn't to be trifled with," Da Pan said confidently. Through his battles with the two giants, Dorry and Brogy, Da Pan had become much more proficient in using Haki, and his Conqueror's Haki had reached an advanced stage. He was also getting a feel for the advanced Conqueror's Haki technique, Binding Haki, and believed he would master it completely soon.

"Haha, Lin Yi, it seems you've run into some trouble. Do you need our help?" Dong Li laughed heartily.

"Hey Lin Yi, give us some good wine, and I'll make sure you're safe in this little garden," Brogy said, his eyes darting around.

Lin Yi knew that these two men genuinely considered him a friend. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, no matter how much fine wine they were offered, they would never have offered their help. After all, in their long and eventful lives, they had seen far too many different kinds of people. How could they be easily bought off by a few bottles of alcohol?

At this moment, Lin Yi smiled sincerely and said to Brogy and Dorry, "Brogy, Dorry, thank you. However, I can handle these guys. So, you can relax. As for the wine, haha, since we are already like brothers, why should there be any other reasons for me to treat you to a drink?"

Upon hearing this, Dongli burst into laughter and joked, "Hey, don't wait until you're beaten to a pulp before you come crying to us for help!"

Lin Yi laughed heartily and patted his chest confidently, replying, "That's absolutely impossible! You just need to observe from the sidelines. However... well, to be honest, this time it might affect your peaceful lives because of me."

Lin Yi felt somewhat guilty and apologetic about this. The two of them had been living a peaceful life in their secluded little garden, but now their tranquility had been disrupted because of him.

"Haha, it's alright. We were just homesick too. It's just a pity we didn't settle things with this guy." Donley didn't seem to care much about that, but he was a little disappointed that his duel with Brogy hadn't ended.

“Yeah, I feel like I can beat Dorry next time.” Brogy looked dejected.

"Bullshit! I'm the one who's about to defeat you!" Donli retorted angrily.

"You?" Brogy said with a contemptuous tone.

"Damn it, if you're not happy, let's fight!" Dongli roared.

"Fight if you want, I'm not afraid of you!" Brogy picked up his giant axe and was about to start his Nth battle with Dorry.

Dongli also picked up his greatsword and said menacingly.

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Lin Yi quickly advised, "Brothers, it's the middle of the night, and it's pitch black everywhere. It's not appropriate to fight. How about tomorrow?"

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time for Lin Yi's sake," Dong Li sneered.

"Hmph, I'll beat you up tomorrow," Brogy retorted sharply.

After glaring at each other, the two walked off in different directions.

"These two are really interesting," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Then he turned to his friends and laughed, "Haha, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You guys go and rest. Simon, you go too. I'll keep watch for the rest of the night."

“Captain, you can’t do that, I can do it,” Simon said quickly.

"Just go when I tell you to, stop with all the nonsense," Lin Yi said with a laugh.

Simon had no choice but to go and rest. He had been quite frightened, and he felt somewhat guilty that something like this had happened while he was on night watch.

After Da Pan and the others fell asleep again, Lin Yi left a spatial marker on the spot and then disappeared. After the last incident of the prisoner's suicide, how could he not leave a backup plan? Once bitten, twice shy.

The next day, Brogy and Dorry woke up early and started fighting. Listening to the rumbling sounds of battle on the island and the two of them shouting insults at each other, Lin Yi smiled helplessly. These two really were a pair of sworn enemies.

"Damn it, Big Pan, today is my duel with Dongli, what are you doing getting involved?" Broki's dissatisfied voice rang out.

"That's right, Big Pan, get out of the way and watch me take this guy down." Dongli said, holding up his shield to block Broki's giant axe.

"Haha, stop arguing, I'm going to take on two of you," Da Pan said arrogantly.

"Overlord of the Sea".

"Damn it, you guys have no sportsmanship!" Da Pan yelled as he was suddenly knocked away by the two of them.

"Hmph, you're still too green to fight us," Brogy said smugly.

"Kid, are you convinced?" Dongli said with a smug smile.

As they laughed, their eyes met, and they simultaneously snorted and began to fight again.

In the days that followed, such scenes occurred frequently. With the supplies sent by Drought Jack, Lin Yi was not in a hurry to leave, after all, not every place has such a good sparring partner.

Just as Lin Yi and his companions were enjoying their happy cultivation time in the small garden, a shocking piece of news spread like wildfire throughout the world! This news was like a thunderclap, shaking the hearts of everyone who heard it.

It turns out that the renowned Sky Venerable Lin Yi and his crew, after entering the Grand Line, openly declared war on the three major royal fleets of the New World with an unimaginable level of power! Moreover, they have already taken action without hesitation, launching a thrilling and bloody massacre on the island called Little Garden.

According to reliable intelligence, three renowned division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates tragically perished at the hands of Lin Yi and his allies. Simultaneously, Jack the Drought, one of the three formidable members of the Beasts Pirates, and Charlotte Fahret, Charlotte Linlin's twentieth son, were also ruthlessly killed by Lin Yi's forces in this fierce battle. Such astonishing achievements have drawn the attention of the entire world.

Now, people are speculating whether the audacious Sky Venerable Lin Yi will seize the opportunity and personally lead his team into a full-scale battle against the three Imperial Crews. After all, he has already demonstrated such formidable strength and fearless courage, making the future development of the situation truly unpredictable. This series of events will undoubtedly unleash a bloodbath on the Grand Line.

The moment that shocking news reached his ears, Marco the Phoenix seemed struck by an invisible bolt of lightning, standing frozen in place, his body as stiff as a statue. His hand, which had been tightly gripping the intelligence report, suddenly seemed to have lost all strength, and the crucial information slipped from his fingers without warning, falling lightly to the ground.

At the same time, glistening tears welled up uncontrollably from Marco's eyes, quickly converging into two sorrowful streams that flowed slowly down his cheeks.

It's important to know that every division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates was an adopted son whom Edward Newgate regarded as his own! They had gone through countless life-or-death trials together, facing powerful enemies from all over the seas. Over these long years, they had forged a bond deeper than blood ties.

However, the sudden and devastating loss of three brothers was a nightmare for Marco. The pain of losing loved ones and being powerless to help was like a thousand sharp blades piercing his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

After a long pause, Marco's eyes flashed with hatred. He adjusted his breathing, picked up the intelligence report again, and knew he had to report this to his father immediately. The Whitebeard Pirates had never suffered such a loss since their inception, and they had to make the culprit pay a heavy price, even if the culprit was the powerful Sky Venerable Lin Yi.

Not long after Marco entered Whitebeard's room, a violent aura emanated from it. The busy crew members on the Moby Dick collapsed to the ground under the influence of this aura, and the squad leaders also walked out of the room with solemn expressions, their eyes filled with a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

"What's wrong? Why is Dad so angry?" Vista asked solemnly.

"I don't know, but something must have happened," Chef Sachi said gravely.

Just as these captains were filled with anxiety and unease, suddenly, a deafening roar, like a thunderclap, resounded throughout the entire Moby Dick: "Pass down the order! Assemble all squad captains immediately! We are heading to the Grand Line to take revenge!" The voice contained boundless anger and majesty, making everyone who heard it tremble with fear.

Although they didn't know who they were going to seek revenge against, as division commanders under the Whitebeard Pirates, they always obeyed Whitebeard's orders without question. Therefore, they sprang into action, contacting their division commanders who were currently on missions and relaying Whitebeard's instructions.

Marco, his face grim, slowly emerged from Whitebeard's room. The squad leaders who had been waiting for news rushed forward, anxiously asking what had happened.

Marco gritted his teeth and said with a grim face, "Blenheim, Atmos, and Difuados... all three of them have been murdered!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar.

"What?! Someone actually dared to lay a hand on our brothers! Who on earth is so audacious?" Kurliel roared, his eyes wide with rage. "Damn it, I'll tear this guy to pieces to vent my anger!"

Vista, the foil swordsman standing to the side, gripped his longsword tightly, radiating a strong killing intent. He gritted his teeth and echoed, "No matter who the other party is, if he dares to harm our comrades, he must pay for this blood debt with his own life!"

"Marco, hurry up and tell me who did it!" Sachi urged anxiously.

Marco looked solemnly at the furious and agitated crowd before him. He took a deep breath and slowly spoke, enunciating each word clearly: "It's Lin Yi!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an uproar erupted in the crowd. Someone exclaimed, "Is that Lin Yi, the one known as the Void Venerable?" You must know that Lin Yi is no ordinary person; his reputation is widespread and he strikes fear into the hearts of many.

However, even knowing that his enemy was such a powerful being, Curiel remained fearless. He snorted coldly and roared through gritted teeth, "Hmph, so what if it's him? Even if it costs me my life, I will make him pay for his crimes in blood!" At this moment, Curiel's heart was filled with nothing but burning rage and endless hatred. He only knew that it was this guy named Lin Yi who had killed his brother, and he swore he would not rest until he avenged him!

Upon hearing this, the captains of the other squads echoed his sentiments, expressing their agreement. They shared a common hatred for the enemy and unanimously agreed that no matter how powerful the foe, the murderer must not be allowed to escape justice.

Seeing this scene, Marco was deeply moved. He felt genuinely gratified and proud to have such a group of brothers who would share life and death with him. But at the same time, his hatred for Lin Yi, who had brutally murdered three of his brothers, surged like a tidal wave.

Marco said coldly, "Dad will deal with Lin Yi. We'll kill his companions one by one, right in front of him, so he can watch his friends get killed and taste the pain of losing loved ones!"

“That’s right! I will personally smash their bones piece by piece, making them wish they were dead!” Kurliel said viciously, his face contorted with rage. The others also shared their own methods of torture.

Marco watched quietly, and when they had finished speaking, he instructed, "First, arrange for those ordinary crew members to go to the islands under our jurisdiction. They won't be of much use in this battle."

After hearing this, everyone accepted the order and went to make arrangements.
