One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

He was stunned when he heard the news. He knew that Lin Yi was powerful, but he did not expect that Lin Yi would dare to offend three major pirate crews at the same time. In his opinion, this was very unwise.

"Oh, Holy Master, you acted impulsively this time. Wouldn't it have been better to kidnap them and sell them for money? Why did you have to kill them all?" Long thought helplessly.

Now that things have come to this, all we can do is see if we can help.

After discussing with the Revolutionary Army's officers, Dragon left the Revolutionary Army headquarters with the Northern Army's commander, Raven, heading towards Little Garden on the Grand Line.

On Enies Lobby, in the first half of the Grand Line, sunlight filters through the buildings and streets, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow. A gentle sea breeze carries a hint of saltiness.

At this moment, in the heart of Enies Lobby, Saint Sigdal, dressed in a magnificent robe, stood high above, looking down at the bustling crowd below. His deep, sharp eyes revealed a chilling majesty.

Saint Sigurd turned his head slightly and asked a CP0 member standing respectfully beside him, "Have Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido of the Beasts already set off for Little Garden?"

The CP0 member quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and replied, "Sir, Whitebeard has successfully led his fleet past Fishman Island and arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago. The Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates are also advancing at full speed and are expected to reach their destination soon."

Upon hearing this news, Saint Sigdel nodded in satisfaction, a slight, almost imperceptible, contemptuous smile playing on his lips. He murmured to himself, "Excellent, everything is proceeding smoothly according to plan. The setup is complete; now we simply await the harvest." With that, he raised his head and gazed into the distance, as if he could see through the obstacles to witness the fierce battle that was about to unfold.

"Your Excellency is wise! Those arrogant pirates may possess great strength, but they will ultimately be unable to escape the inescapable net you have meticulously laid. They can only stumble and fall like headless flies before your wisdom." The CP0 member seized the opportunity to flatter him.

Saint Schöndel seemed quite pleased with the compliment. He smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the other party didn't need to say anything more. Then, he turned and strode forward, loudly ordering, "Pass on my orders! Prepare to depart! I want to see how this show will end. Hopefully, those guys won't disappoint me too much..." As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Enies Lobby fell into a tense but orderly flurry of activity.

Although Lin Yi had anticipated that this matter would cause quite a stir, he never expected that it would attract half of the world's power to the Little Garden.

At that moment, he was receiving an old friend.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to come, Mihawk." Lin Yi laughed, looking at Hawkeye, who seemed even more composed than before.

Chapter 17 The Three Emperors' Guild Arrives at the Little Garden

"Haha, I didn't expect you to come here, Mihawk." Looking at Hawkeye, who seemed even more composed than when they last met, Lin Yi said with great pleasure.

"Yeah, we're out of alcohol. I need to get some from you," Hawkeye said expressionlessly.

However, Lin Yi, who had known him for a long time, knew that Hawkeye's hasty arrival was not simply for those few jars of fine wine.

Just as Lin Yi had expected, Hawkeye had originally planned to venture into the New World, but after hearing the news that the three royal crews were going to join forces against Lin Yi, Hawkeye decisively turned his ship around and sped toward Lin Yi's location. In order to speed up, he hardly rested, which is why he arrived in a small boat before the three royal crews could surround and kill Lin Yi.

To be honest, Lin Yi was quite surprised by Hawkeye's arrival. They hadn't spent much time together. Perhaps the seemingly cold Hawkeye had a warm heart inside.

"For a sip of wine, you actually went through all that trouble to travel thousands of miles to this little garden. That's incredibly unwise! Don't you know that an unprecedented and fierce battle is about to break out here? If you're not careful, you might get caught up in it and get yourself into a lot of trouble." Lin Yi teased with a smile, but a hint of undisguised emotion showed in his eyes.

"Hmph, I'm just here to buy wine. What else is it to me?" Hawkeye replied coldly, his expression still cool. His tone was firm and resolute, as if he didn't care about the impending danger at all.

"Haha, alright, alright, since you insist, I'll just assume you're only here for the drinks. Come on, come with me, I can introduce you to some new friends and throw you a lively welcome party." Lin Yi laughed heartily, grabbing Eagle Eye's hand as he strode towards the center of the small garden.

In the Sabaody Archipelago of the Grand Line, the three most famous pirate crews have met.

“Momomomo, Newgate, you look much older.” Charlotte Linlin couldn’t help but tease him, looking at his white beard, which was already turning gray.

"Lingling, haven't you become an old woman too?" the white-bearded man said calmly.

“Momomomo, Newgate, you still refuse to suffer any loss as always,” Charlotte Linlin said without changing her expression. She wasn’t angry about Whitebeard calling her an old woman.

"Worororo... Brother Newgate, and Linlin too, it's been a long time!" Kaido's rough and unrestrained voice rang out. At this moment, he seemed very polite and courteous, which was very different from his usual arrogant and domineering image.

Back then, Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard Pirates, held a crucial position in the renowned Rocks Pirates, while Kaido was merely a fledgling henchman. Kaido had followed Whitebeard on many arduous and dangerous missions, learning invaluable experience and combat techniques from him during that time. Therefore, even though Kaido is now a powerful ruler, he still holds a degree of respect for his former mentor.

Then there's Charlotte Linlin, who gives Kaido even more headaches. Back then, the reason he was able to possess the incredibly powerful Azure Dragon Devil Fruit was entirely thanks to Charlotte Linlin.

Charlotte Linlin's condition at the time was that Kaido would follow her from then on.

But how could the ambitious Kaido submit to anyone else? So he didn't hesitate to break his promise and left after obtaining the Azure Dragon Devil Fruit, showing no regard for Charlotte Linlin's kindness.

This is why Kaido always feels inferior whenever he faces Charlotte Linlin.

It wasn't because he was afraid of the other party's strength; after all, with his current status and abilities, he was no longer afraid of Charlotte Linlin.

The real reason he lacked confidence was simply because deep down he felt he had acted extremely unfairly in this matter. So every time he saw Charlotte Linlin, a wave of guilt would wash over him, forcing even the usually arrogant Kaido to tone down his arrogance.

As expected, when Charlotte Linlin saw Kaido of the Beasts, her previously calm face instantly darkened, as if shrouded in a thick, ominous cloud. Back then, she had treated this younger brother with utmost sincerity and unwavering loyalty. However, to her utter dismay, Kaido, who had once vowed to follow her, had ultimately chosen betrayal! At this moment, how could she possibly give Kaido a friendly look?

“Haha…hehe…” Noticing Charlotte Linlin’s icy face, Kaido couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He forced a dry laugh, trying to break the suffocating silence, but the laughter sounded so stiff and unnatural.

Just then, the white-bearded man spoke up: "Alright, now that everyone has arrived, let's not delay and set off immediately." His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the air like a resounding bell.

Upon hearing Whitebeard's suggestion, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, though each with their own thoughts, both nodded in agreement. They then turned and returned to their respective ships, ordering their crews to proceed at full speed towards the mysterious Little Garden.

Because of the permanent pointer of the Little Garden, Whitebeard and his crew did not need to spend time and effort storing magnetic energy to guide their course, unlike other ordinary ships.

Time flies, and a whole week has passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, several imposing giant warships suddenly appeared on the vast and turbulent sea of ​​Little Garden. Leading the way was the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick, its iconic white whalebone prow inspiring awe; closely following was Charlotte Linlin's Queen Mother Anthem, its colorful decorations and enormous candy house design showcasing its owner's luxurious style; bringing up the rear was Kaido's Onigashima warship, its menacing and terrifying prow seemingly capable of tearing apart any enemy in its path.

As these colossal creatures drew closer, the sea area where the small garden was situated began to bustle with activity. The sea breeze howled, and the waves surged, seemingly welcoming the arrival of these three powerful forces.

Just as those three menacing pirate ships, with their masts reaching into the clouds, stepped into the waters of Little Garden like three ferocious beasts.

Lin Yi keenly sensed that the spatial marker he had left beforehand was instantly activated.

A slight upturn of his lips revealed a confident yet slightly mocking smile. He then turned to the crowd who were intently watching the fierce battle between Da Pan and Hawkeye, and said slowly, "Gentlemen, those who want to take our lives have arrived!"

Upon hearing this, everyone who was still immersed in the exciting battle seemed to be suddenly awakened, and they all stopped what they were doing. They all turned their gazes to Lin Yi, who was standing in front of them.

Chiyo asked with some concern, "Captain, how many people did they bring this time?"

Lin Yi crossed his arms, shrugged slightly, and replied with a smile, "Well... I don't know the exact number yet. But what I do know is that people from the three major pirate crews have all come."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.

Although everyone knew that Lin Yi's strength was unfathomable and that their own skills were not weak, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous facing the massive formation of the three major pirate crews and the many powerful experts among them.

After all, the enemy has an overwhelming numerical advantage, and if a real battle were to break out, their side would likely be surrounded and unable to escape. This situation undoubtedly presents them with enormous risks and challenges.

"Haha, weren't you guys saying you were going to beat them to a pulp? Why are you chickening out now?" Lin Yi teased with a laugh.

Felina rolled her eyes and said irritably, "That's the infamous Whitebeard Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, and Beasts Pirates. How could we not be nervous? We're not afraid of a one-on-one fight, but there are just too many of them."

"Haha, don't worry, I'm here. This situation won't happen. Maybe you won't even have to fight," Lin Yi laughed.

"No way, Lin Yi, you're not thinking of teleporting us away and then facing the three great pirate crews all by yourself, are you? Let me tell you, I don't agree. Don't even think about it. I, Fiona, will never be a deserter." Fiona said angrily to Lin Yi.

"What? Brother Lin Yi, you're sending us away? How can you do that? We're a team!" Felina said hurriedly.

“Yes, Captain, we can fight too,” Dota said firmly.

“Captain, we can do it,” Kerry said, holding the requiem whistle.

"Yes, Captain, don't send me away."

"Captain, if you send me away, I'll poison your food from now on."

Apart from Da Pan, who remained calm, the others all spoke up.

Lin Yi placed his hand on Reiju's head, who was trying to poison his food, and said speechlessly, "When did I say I was going to send you away?"

"Really? Brother Lin Yi, that's great!" Felina said happily upon hearing that Lin Yi wouldn't send them away.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine if Lin Yi didn't send them away to face the powerful enemy alone, but they were a group. If they hid and left the captain to bear the burden alone when they encountered a strong enemy, what kind of people would they be? They absolutely could not agree to such a thing.

Fiona was a little embarrassed by the blunder, but she still looked at Lin Yi with a stubborn expression.

Seeing this, Lin Yi explained helplessly, "Actually, none of the members of the three major pirate crews died. Ever since the incident of the prisoner committing suicide, we've become more cautious about such matters. When Wei Hai'er detonated the bomb that day, I used my spatial abilities to save the rest of them. They're all in my Kamui Space now, so strictly speaking, we don't have any deep-seated hatred with the three major pirate crews. The reason I haven't clarified this matter is because I want to use this to lure out the mastermind behind it all."

Everyone was taken aback by Lin Yi's words.

"The mastermind behind it all?" Felina asked curiously.

Lin Yi nodded. "That's right. Someone has been sowing discord behind our backs, trying to use the three major pirate crews to eliminate us."

"Who is so insidious?" Felina said angrily.

"Haha, you'll find out soon enough. Now let's go meet these three infamous pirate crews. Dorry, Brogy, and Mihawk, are you three coming along?" Lin Yi asked the three of them.

"Haha, Lin Yi, how could we possibly miss out on such a lively event?" Dong Li said with a loud laugh.

"I also want to see just how strong these newcomers really are," Brogy said, sounding eager to try.

Hawkeye didn't say anything, but he didn't leave either, clearly intending to go along.

"Haha, then let's go and meet these three great pirate crews together!" Lin Yi laughed heartily. Immediately, a huge spatial portal appeared, and Lin Yi was the first to step into it.

"Mr. Mihawk, Brother Donley, and Brother Brogy, please!" Simon smiled and politely gestured for the three to enter first.

None of the three had ever experienced Lin Yi's spatial teleportation ability, so they were all quite curious. Brogy, in particular, was impatient; he eagerly poked his head into the mysterious spatial portal to see for himself. What he saw was astonishing—he was surprised to find his head instantly appearing on the distant shore of Little Garden! This wondrous sight thrilled Brogy; like a child, he kept sticking his head in and out, playing with it endlessly.

Seeing this, Dorry, who had been waiting to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. He raised his thick, powerful foot and kicked Brogy's backside without mercy, roaring, "Damn it, when are you going to stop? Stop dawdling!"

Staggered by the kick, Brogy was instantly propelled into the portal by inertia. Dorry followed closely behind.

Since two of the people traveling with him were enormous giants, Lin Yi opened the spatial portal to its maximum extent to facilitate everyone's passage. After Dong Li entered, the others began to file in one by one in twos and threes.

"Damn you, Donley, did you kick me?" Brogy said angrily.

"It wasn't me, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense." Dongli denied it three times with a natural expression.

"You still say it wasn't you? Look at this big footprint on my butt. Who else could it be but you?" Brogy said angrily, pointing to a large footprint on his butt.

"Damn it, I was careless," Dorry said with some annoyance, not expecting that evidence would be left behind.

"It really is you, you bastard Dorry! I challenge you to a duel!" Brogy angrily raised his giant axe, ready to strike Dorry.

Seeing that the two explosive charges were about to start another fight, Lin Yi helplessly advised, "Dongli, Brogy, give me some face, can you do it next time?"

"Okay, let's play again next time," Dongli said, showing great courtesy.

"Alright, I'll let him off this time for Lin Yi's sake." Brogy was still a little angry, but he still gave him face.

"Haha, thank you both, brothers," Lin Yi said with a smile.

He then looked at the three enormous pirate ships that were drawing ever closer in time.

"Lin Yi, you killed my three sons. Today, I, Edward Newgate, will use your head to pay tribute to their heroic souls." Before he even arrived, the white-bearded man's angry voice rang out.

(It's already 100 chapters! Please give it a good review, urge me to update more, and give me free gifts!)

Chapter 18 The Great Battle Begins

"Lin Yi! You cruelly murdered my three sons! Today, I will take your head to appease their spirits!" On the Moby Dick, the white-bearded man stood like a towering mountain at the bow of the ship. His weathered and furious face seemed to spew forth raging flames.

With his roar, the entire sea surface was churned with towering waves.

Lin Yi looked in the direction of the voice and his gaze fell on the legendary pirate who had made a name for himself on the vast and boundless sea and whose power shook the world.

Whitebeard is only 62 years old now, but he was 10 years younger at the beginning of the story, so he looks younger. Whitebeard is tall and imposing, standing over 6 meters tall, nearly 7 meters in height.

A black turban was wrapped around his head, and his bare upper body was muscular and strong, as if forged from steel. A large cloak was casually draped over his broad shoulders, fluttering wildly in the sea breeze. Most striking were the shocking scars on his chest, the marks of glory left by countless life-and-death battles.

His long, white beard, resembling a crescent moon, became the source of his nickname "White Beard".

Whitebeard gripped the "Murakumo-giri," one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, tightly in his right hand, its sharp blade gleaming with a chilling light. His large, bell-like eyes were fixed on Lin Yi, blazing with endless hatred, like a ferocious tiger eyeing its prey, ready to pounce and tear it to pieces, devouring it alive.
