One Piece, I'm just an adventurer.

As soon as the white-bearded man appeared, he bluntly declared that he would take Lin Yi's life.

Da Pan was instantly enraged. His eyes widened, his face flushed red, and he gripped the imposing dragon-coiled staff tightly in his hand, ready to rush forward and teach this arrogant old man a lesson. However, just as Da Pan was about to take a step, a hand firmly landed on his shoulder, stopping him in his tracks.

The one who stopped Da Pan was Lin Yi. He appeared calm and composed, and said slowly to Da Pan and the others around him, "Please remain calm and do not act impulsively. The people who have come to the Little Garden this time are not just these so-called three great pirate groups. Everyone must pay close attention to the surroundings and not let their guard down. Especially you, Da Pan, are the strongest, so you need to keep a close eye on their every move to prevent any unexpected events from happening."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's instructions, Da Pan and the others became serious and solemn, nodding solemnly in agreement and indicating that they would be more vigilant.

Lin Yi smiled slightly upon seeing this, not overly worried. After all, Felina and the others were all quite strong, and even Kerry had his own unique methods of self-preservation. What he had just said to Da Pan and the others was merely a reminder to always maintain a high level of vigilance.

After confirming that everyone understood his meaning, Lin Yi no longer hesitated. With a swift movement, he shot straight into the air like an arrow, heading towards the three major pirate crews.

Just as he was about to reach his opponent, Lin Yi's high-speed movement suddenly stopped, and he hovered steadily in mid-air.

His posture was as upright as a pine tree, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's, staring straight at Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man who was renowned throughout the world and hailed as the strongest man on the sea.

Even facing this legendary figure, Lin Yi felt no fear or tension. On the contrary, a slight smile played on his lips, as if the legendary powerhouse before him were merely an ordinary opponent. This composure did not stem from blind arrogance, but from the absolute confidence bestowed upon him by his own formidable strength.

Lin Yi chuckled lightly and slowly said, "These few dared to challenge me out of ignorance. Since they dared to do so, they should be prepared to pay the price with their lives! Are you all sore losers in the Whitebeard Pirates? Or is it that no one in the Whitebeard Pirates can bear to die?"

At this point, a clear hint of mockery appeared on Lin Yi's face, his contemptuous expression as if he regarded the entire Whitebeard Pirates as nothing.

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing the softest spot in the hearts of the Whitebeard Pirates. In an instant, the usually imposing division commanders were enraged, their eyes blazing with fury, roaring repeatedly, wishing they could rush forward and engage Lin Yi in a life-or-death battle.

The tall, imposing figure with the white beard stood upright, the large sword in his hand gleaming coldly. His face was grim, his eyes wide with anger, and suddenly he slammed the sword heavily onto the ground! In an instant, the ground seemed to tremble, emitting a dull and deafening sound.

Immediately afterwards, the white-bearded man's hoarse and icy voice seemed to come from the deepest hell: "What a sharp-tongued brat! I've not come here today to argue with you. All I know is that you murdered three of my closest relatives! Today, I will surely cut you down to appease their spirits in heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi, standing opposite him, shook his head slightly, a nonchalant expression on his face, and replied casually, "Hmph, you want to kill me? With your abilities, you're probably far from enough."

Hearing Lin Yi's arrogant words, Whitebeard didn't immediately refute him. In fact, he knew very well that if he could deal with Lin Yi on his own, he wouldn't be cooperating with Charlotte Linlin and Kaido.

However, Whitebeard's subordinates did not think so.

Marco was the most enraged of all. His eyes blazed with fury as he roared at Lin Yi through gritted teeth, "You utterly despicable bastard! Do you know that our father is the most powerful man in the world? Taking your life is as easy as turning his hand, as effortless as slaughtering a worthless stray dog! Lin Yi, today is your death day!"

Faced with Marco's angry rebuke, Lin Yi merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an extremely contemptuous smile, and then coldly uttered four words: "A frog in a well."

"Momomomo! Lin Yi, you dare to spout such nonsense? I really don't know if your so-called strength matches your arrogance!" With a deafening roar, Charlotte Lingling's equally tall and fat body, like a mountain of flesh, suddenly leaped from the air and landed heavily on the deck of the Moby Dick.

Her plump face was now filled with a fierce expression as she glared at Lin Yi as if she wanted to devour him alive.

However, Lin Yi remained unusually calm in the face of this suddenly appearing formidable enemy. He showed no signs of panic whatsoever; on the contrary, he had the leisure to scrutinize the unique female figure among the Four Emperors.

Charlotte Linlin was incredibly tall, towering over Whitebeard by a considerable margin, roughly nine meters in height—almost the size of a young giant. Her massive body resembled a moving hill, causing the deck to tremble violently with every step she took.

Looking at her figure, it was shockingly obese. Her entire body was covered in layers of flabby flesh, making one worry that her weight might sink the ship beneath her. However, despite her bloated appearance, Charlotte Linlin's attire was quite sophisticated. She wore a uniquely styled pirate hat adorned with dazzling jewels, and a wide, pink dress that billowed in the wind.

Of particular interest were two strange clouds floating on either side of Charlotte Linlin. These clouds were no ordinary objects; they possessed clearly discernible human features and contained extremely terrifying energy fluctuations.

These are the peculiar creatures created by Charlotte Linlin using her Devil Fruit powers—the Homies. These Homies possess immense power, making them one of Charlotte Linlin's most formidable weapons.

Lin Yi gazed at the two strange creatures before him with great interest, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and admiration. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly impressive abilities!"

Charlotte Lingling glared angrily at Lin Yi and demanded, "Hmph, Lin Yi, I want to ask you, my son only came to invite you to a small tea party out of kindness, why did you kill him?"

Her voice trembled slightly with anger, as if it might explode at any moment. It wasn't that she cared much about Charlotte Fahait; she was simply upset that Lin Yi was disrespecting her.

Faced with Charlotte Linlin's questioning, Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and he calmly replied, "Haha, if you want to kill, then kill. Why do you need any high-sounding reasons? Haven't you ever ruthlessly killed those who dared to refuse to attend your so-called tea parties? In that case, it is only natural for me to kill him!"

After saying that, he gave Charlotte Linlin a bright, provocative smile.

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin's face instantly turned bright red with anger, like a ripe apple.

Anger made her entire body of fat jiggle uncontrollably, making her look rather comical, but the people present had no time to appreciate such a scene. She roared furiously, "You ignorant, arrogant bastard! Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

Before she could finish speaking, Homies beside her had already launched a fierce attack.

The Homie charged towards Lin Yi like an arrow released from a bow, simultaneously unleashing a torrent of blazing flames from its maw. The flames, like a ferocious fire dragon, lunged directly at Lin Yi. However, Lin Yi remained remarkably calm and composed in the face of this sudden attack. With a swift movement, he effortlessly dodged the scorching flames, his movements fluid and without the slightest hesitation.

"If you can't win an argument, you resort to violence? You're really petty," Lin Yi laughed.

"Damn it!" Charlotte Linlin roared furiously, about to swing her weapon at her opponent again. However, at that moment, a figure struck first with astonishing speed.

"Hot breath!"

Suddenly, a golden, blazing ray shot out from the clouds, hurtling straight toward Lin Yi like lightning. This ray contained terrifying energy; wherever it passed, the air seemed to ignite, crackling and popping.

"Haha, Kaido, I didn't expect you to resort to such underhanded tactics to ambush me!" Faced with such a fierce attack, Lin Yi remained calm and even had a contemptuous smile on his lips.

In the blink of an eye, he dodged the deadly heat breath with ease. At the same time, he had the leisure to loudly mock Kaido. After all, under Kaido's incredibly powerful Observation Haki, any sneak attack would be futile.

The heatwave missed its target and struck the vast, boundless sea. In an instant, a loud "whoosh" was heard, and a large swath of seawater was instantly evaporated by the heatwave's extremely high temperature. A huge cloud of white steam rose from the sea surface, blotting out the sun, creating a truly spectacular scene.

Immediately afterwards, Kaido's enormous dragon body appeared and disappeared in the clouds, then swooped down like a cannonball, heading straight for the Moby Dick. As he approached the ship, his massive body rapidly shrank, and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed back into human form and landed steadily on the deck.

Kaido hadn't changed much since their last meeting; he remained as imposing and majestic as ever. However, a closer look revealed a new circular scar on his abdomen. This scar was clearly from his previous encounter with Lin Yi.

"Hmph, Lin Yi, this time the three of us will attack together, and you will surely die." Kaido said somewhat unhappily after being mocked by Lin Yi.

"Hahaha, since the three of you all want to take my life, then come on. But I think it should just be a duel between the four of us. The others shouldn't make a move, after all, you don't want others to take advantage of your weakness, do you?" Lin Yi said meaningfully.

Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido naturally understood the meaning behind these words. The fact that their three pirate crews had cooperated to ambush Lin Yi had caused quite a stir, and many people had come to watch the spectacle.

Once a chaotic battle breaks out, given Lin Yi's terrifying spatial abilities, their subordinates will undoubtedly suffer numerous casualties. At that point, they fear those who were merely watching the spectacle might resort to underhanded tactics, after all, they've roamed the seas for so many years and have accumulated quite a few enemies.

Just as Whitebeard and his companions were about to nod in agreement, an angry voice rang out from the sky: "Hmph, Lin Yi, you killed Jack, and I will kill your crewmates too. I'll let you know that killing the Beast Pirates comes at a terrible price."

After saying that, King Flame, transformed into a pteranodon, flew straight towards where Da Pan and the others were.

"Heh, although your strength is no threat to Da Pan and the others, it's still best not to let you disturb them." Lin Yi smiled, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

Teleportation + Spatial Imprisonment + A Casual Kick

With a "bang," Jin the Blazing Inferno was kicked into the sea by Lin Yi without any ability to resist. With Lin Yi's current strength, whether anyone below the King level lives or dies under Lin Yi's combination of skills depends entirely on Lin Yi's mood.

"Damn it, you're asking for death." Seeing King the Wildfire kicked into the sea by Lin Yi and his life hanging in the balance, Kaido was furious and immediately activated his beast form to charge at Lin Yi.

(I'm begging for your kind words, encouragement to update, and free gifts.)

Chapter 19 Lin Yi Fights Three Against One

"You're asking for death!" When Kaido saw King the Wildfire, kicked into the sea by Lin Yi and lying there in unknown condition, his anger surged to its peak. One Jack the Drought was one thing, but this guy had so brazenly killed King the Wildfire too! As their leader, didn't he have any dignity?

Enraged, Kaido didn't hesitate to activate his Beast Mode. He gripped his massive spiked club tightly, and with a sudden burst of power, he leaped high into the air like a bullet, charging towards Lin Yi with overwhelming force.

Accompanied by a roar: "Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

Kaido unleashed a devastating attack right from the start. His boundless, ocean-like Conqueror's Haki swiftly coiled around his spiked club like lightning, emitting a deafening thunderous roar that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart. The spiked club then traced a sharp arc through the air, sweeping towards Lin Yi with immense force.

However, facing this thunderous attack, Lin Yi merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a disdainful smile on his face, showing no sign of being moved. Just as the spiked club was about to strike him, Lin Yi uttered a soft shout: "Divine Might Illusion!"

The next moment, the spiked club, which originally contained endless power, passed straight through Lin Yi's ethereal body without any hindrance, as if it had hit a ball of air.

"Damn it! How could I forget about that kid's disgusting ability!" Kaido cursed inwardly as his seemingly sure-fire attack missed its mark. But it was too late to change his move.

In the blink of an eye, taking advantage of Kaido's exhausted strength and the inability to generate new power, Lin Yi suddenly launched a counterattack. His right foot kicked forward in an instant, and a phantom like a bull's hoof accurately struck Kaido's waist.

Faced with Lin Yi's fierce counterattack, Kaido only had time to cover his waist with Armament Haki.

The force of that kick was terrifying; even Kaido's incredibly strong physique could hardly withstand it. He felt a sharp pain as his body slammed into the sea like a cannonball.

At the very same moment, just as Lin Yi suddenly launched a flying kick at Kaido, an incredibly tall figure appeared beside him like a ghost! The figure wielded a chillingly sharp longsword—the "Murakumogiri," one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords! This sword, imbued with an extremely fierce killing intent, slashed down with overwhelming force towards Lin Yi's head!

"Heh, old man with the white beard, I really didn't expect you to resort to such sneak attacks!" Facing the white beard's cunning and deadly strike, Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of disdain and mockery. As he spoke, he swiftly drew his jet-black sword "Annihilation," exuding a mysterious aura, from his waist, and met the white beard's powerful downward slash with unwavering resolve.

In an instant, the two peerless swords collided in mid-air, producing a crisp and ear-piercing metallic clang, with sparks flying everywhere!

However, Whitebeard seemed to ignore Lin Yi's taunts, his huge, bell-like eyes fixed on his opponent, his gaze filled with endless killing intent.

Just as Murakumogiri and Lin Yi's black sword clashed, the white-bearded man suddenly extended his left hand, clenching his five fingers into an enormous iron fist. A dazzling white aura immediately emerged around his fist. Then, with a mighty swing, he slammed his arm down towards Lin Yi with overwhelming force!

"Air Tremor!" With a roar from Whitebeard, an incredibly terrifying shockwave swept towards Lin Yi like a surging ocean wave! This was the powerful ability of Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Seeing this, Lin Yi's expression turned serious. He knew that his opponent was powerful and dared not be careless. He took a deep breath and threw a punch with equal force.

With that movement, he shouted, "Six Paths of Overlord - Dragon Path!" In an instant, a phantom dragon head roared out, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at the oncoming fist.

In the blink of an eye, two fists imbued with terrifying power collided like two rapidly approaching comets. A deafening "bang" resounded, as if the entire world trembled.

In that instant, a terrifying energy, chilling to the bone, erupted from the point where their fists collided like a volcanic eruption. In the blink of an eye, the once calm sea beneath them caved in, as if a giant meteorite had been dropped upon it, forming a bottomless crater. The surrounding sea, violently impacted by this surge of energy, churned and surged, creating towering waves tens of meters high. These waves, like ferocious beasts, roared and surged wildly in all directions, relentlessly pushing everything in their path away.

After such a tremendous energy shockwave, Lin Yi and Whitebeard were both sent flying backward. However, before Lin Yi could regain his footing in mid-air, another incredibly fierce attack followed closely behind.

"Momomomo! Kid, today is your death day! Take this, Flame Strike!" With a roar, Charlotte Linlin's hideous, fat face suddenly appeared before Lin Yi.

She swung an enormous fist, which was not only wreathed in raging flames but also crackled with blue electrical light. Like a shooting star, it slammed down on Lin Yi's head with boundless power.

In the blink of an eye, just as the terrifying fist was about to strike Lin Yi, he merely curled the corners of his mouth into a contemptuous smile. Then, he uttered a soft shout: "Teleport!" Instantly, Lin Yi vanished from his spot like a ghost.

Charlotte Linlin's terrifying attack missed its mark, and her face, already distorted by rage, became even more grotesque. She glared fiercely at Lin Yi, who had suddenly appeared not far away, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Momomomo! Lin Yi, you little brat, your abilities are truly bizarre and troublesome. No wonder even that old bastard Newgate had to team up with us to deal with you!"

Meanwhile, Kaido, who had just been defeated, had regrouped and soared into the air once more. At this moment, he, Whitebeard, and Charlotte Linlin each occupied three positions, forming a standard triangle formation that firmly surrounded Lin Yi in the center.

However, Lin Yi, who was surrounded, showed no sign of panic. Instead, he threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! It seems that the three of you are determined to join forces to deal with me today? Well, that's fine. I'd like to see just how much the legendary 'Three Emperors' who are famous throughout the world are worth!" As he spoke, Lin Yi exuded an incomparably powerful aura, as if he was ready to face an earth-shattering battle.

"You wretched brat! Today I will personally twist your head off!" Kaido's face was contorted with grotesque features, so ferocious that it sent chills down one's spine. He roared through gritted teeth.

Having said that, Kaido roughly untied the gourd from his waist, uncorked it without hesitation, and then tilted his head back, gulping down the strong liquor inside like a cow drinking water, leaving not a drop. Clearly, facing Lin Yi, whose strength was now far greater than before, Kaido knew he couldn't afford to be careless and had decided to use all his strength in a life-or-death battle.

"Hahahaha... I'm going!" Kaido's face was flushed from drinking, and he was slightly drunk, but his eyes were even more sharp and fierce. He shouted excitedly at Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin, and then charged straight at Lin Yi at an astonishing speed like an arrow released from a bow, creating a howling wind wherever he went.

However, facing the menacing Kaido, Lin Yi showed no fear. His stance was as steady as a mountain, his steps firm and powerful, and he charged head-on at Kaido, who was charging like a beast. In an instant, a loud clang rang out as their weapons clashed violently, sending sparks flying.

Meanwhile, Charlotte Linlin and Whitebeard, seizing the opportunity, also joined the battle, not to be outdone. Wielding their respective weapons, they launched a fierce attack on Lin Yi without mercy. In an instant, swords clashed and energy swirled, plunging the entire scene into chaos.

"Perfect timing! Let me show you what I'm capable of!" Lin Yi showed no sign of backing down upon seeing this; instead, he threw his head back and burst into laughter. Immediately afterward, he brandished his weapon, his figure moving with the agility of a ghost as he weaved between the three, calmly engaging them in a fierce battle.

"Da Pan, will Brother Lin Yi be alright?" Felina asked Da Pan with a worried expression, her voice trembling slightly as she looked at the figures engaged in fierce combat above. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Yi, who was being attacked by three powerful individuals, her heart filled with unease and worry.

Chiyo, Reiju, and Kree, the three relatively young children, also looked up at the sky with solemn expressions, their eyes revealing deep worry. Despite their young age, they were all aware of the perilous nature of the battle.

Hearing Felina's question, Da Pan's expression remained calm. He looked firmly at the battlefield and slowly said, "Don't worry, even if we can't win, my brother will definitely be fine! No one in this world can keep my brother alive!" Da Pan's words were full of extreme confidence in Lin Yi's strength, as if Lin Yi were an invincible war god.

Standing to the side, Mihawk nodded slightly, echoing with deep feeling, "Yes, Lin Yi's strength has indeed increased far beyond what it used to be." Recalling his last meeting with Lin Yi, although Lin Yi was already quite strong then, it seemed that in less than two years, his progress had been nothing short of phenomenal, leaving Mihawk far behind. Mihawk inwardly marveled at Lin Yi's astonishing growth rate, while also feeling a surge of anticipation for the upcoming fierce battle.

"Dongli, look! The moves that the fat woman over there is using look somewhat similar to those of our giants, don't they?" Broglie stood on high ground, staring intently at the battlefield, and turned to Dongli with a puzzled expression.

Following Brogy's pointing finger, Donley observed carefully for a moment, then frowned slightly and replied, "That's true, but judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to be one of our giants."

Brogy nodded thoughtfully and said, "After Lin Yi finishes this battle, we might as well go and ask that fat woman. Maybe we can learn some unknown secrets from her."

"Hmm..." Dongli was about to reply when his expression suddenly changed, and a strange feeling welled up inside him. With his keen perception of his surroundings accumulated over the years, he realized that someone was landing on the island.

Almost simultaneously, Da Pan and Hawkeye, standing not far away, also noticed the anomaly. Da Pan's eyes sharpened, and he immediately gestured to Felina and the others beside him, signaling them to be on high alert. He himself quickly turned his gaze to the direction from which he had sensed someone landing on the island using his Observation Haki, staring intently at that spot, not missing a single sound.

"Huh! It's a fish-man!" Simon stared in astonishment at the figure that suddenly leaped high from the sea and landed steadily on the small garden.

Da Pan and the others stared intently at the uninvited guest. Sensing their intense gazes, the fish-man became somewhat reserved. He spoke hesitantly, "Greetings, everyone. I am Tiger, a friend of Lord Lin Yi. I apologize for the intrusion; I wonder if any of you are his companions?"
