0:00 As the imminent eruption of the Marine Ford war loomed, heralding the impending downfall of the Whitebeard pirates, he activated the celestial fishing system amidst a myriad of crises. Ding. Congratulations to the host for fishing and obtaining the thunderf fruit. Ding. Congratulations to the host for fishing and acquiring the kaleidoscope charing. Ding. Congratulations to the host for fishing and receiving 240 months of cultivation experience. Joining the Whitebeard pirates, he gathered formidable allies to bolster his strength and engage in the great battle. When the outcome of the Marine Ford war was irrevocably altered, the Grand Line was reshuffled and new emperors of the sea emerged. Chapter 1. The thunder fruit and the kaleidoscope sharing. So it appears. Have I truly traversed
0:47 worlds? Linen sat by the seaside. The ocean breezeling the bangs that fell across his forehead. He gazed at the notifications from the system, murmuring to himself. Just moments prior, he had found himself transported into the world of pirates. Globally celebrated intellectual property. The influence of One Piece spanned the entirety of the globe. It had accompanied countless individuals throughout their formative years, bearing witness to the essence of many youth. How fortunate indeed, for Lin Yin was among them. Yet he had never envisioned that one day he would arrive in the Grand Line, stepping into this bizarre and vibrant world of pirates. Lin Yan acknowledged his affinity for One Piece and cherished every character within its narrative. However, the mere
1:34 thought of those titans capable of reshaping mountains and filling seas, wielding the power to obliterate realms with a mere gesture left him feeling utterly despondent. In this realm, the ordinary were but fodder for the powerful. To thrust a contemporary, unremarkable youth into an alternate reality merely to serve as cannon fodder. How audacious. Reflecting upon the protagonists of cinematic tales upon realizing their own transcendence, they would immediately be invigorated, their eyes ablaze with determination, radiating vitality. Since fate had dealt him the card of transmigration, he vowed that in this life he would seize every opportunity to live splendidly, to grasp dominion over the world, to revel in the
2:20 embrace of beauty, to masquerade as the meek while overpowering all adversaries. Such notions were merely the standard fair for a traveler of worlds. What? I have acquired a legendary celestial technique. What? I have awakened the fabled sword intent. What am I now? the strongest in the world. To this, Lin Yen could only respond. Attain your so-called celestial techniques. Awaken your legendary sword intent. Become the mightiest of all. Is it believable that someone devoid of talent, capability, or background could arrive in this world and wield such formidable power? Do you not think I would be swiftly dispatched the moment I stepped outside? Fortunately, the heavens do not leave one without a path. Lin Yan's system activated in tandem with his arrival.
3:07 Dubbed the celestial fishing system, its very essence was to assist Lin Yin in fishing from the myriad worlds. Whether it be the devil fruits of the pirate realm, his rank ninjutsu from the world of Narudo, or the Kamehameha from the Dragon Ball universe. Even elements from fantastical realms could be acquired. The solitary prerequisite was bait, which could be obtained through completing tasks. Moreover, the system was remarkably userfriendly. Ding. Detecting that the host has just traversed worlds. A beginner's gift pack containing 365 bait has been bestowed. Ding. The beginner's gift pack has been fully distributed. Please commence fishing. As the systems words echoed, a fishing tool materialized in Lin Yan's hands. Upon further inspection, the 365 bait corresponded to a full year. The
3:54 bait from the beginner's gift pack would sustain Lin Yan's fishing endeavors for an entire year. Perusing the systems offerings, encompassing the devil fruits of the pirate world, the ninjutsu of Narudo, and a plethora of abilities from across the multiverse, Lin Yin felt a surge of desire. Having grasped the perils of the pirate world, Lin Yin came to a profound realization that he understood that this might be his singular opportunity to defy fate and alter his destiny. He must seize it without hesitation. With the acquisition of the celestial fishing system, while achieving the pinnacle of strength was not a guarantee, he at least needed to possess the means of self-preservation. Without delay, Lin Yin embarked upon his fishing journey. Thus began a full year of unwavering dedication. It must be
4:41 said, the year-long fishing endeavor was both tedious and monotonous. Yet, in comparison to the prospect of gaining strength, these trials pald in significance. After an entire 365 days of fishing, his bait have been completely exhausted. Congratulations, host. Fishing complete. You currently possess 365 exquisite blind boxes. Would you like to open them? Within Lin Yan's system repository, exquisite blind boxes were stacked high. These exquisite blind boxes were rewards acquired from each fishing session. No one could predict what treasures lay within. Here we go. Lin Yan's hands trembled slightly as if unwrapping a long- aaited package. This was the culmination of a year spent immersed in fishing. His emotions
5:28 surged, making it difficult to contain his excitement system. Open all exquisite blind boxes. Ding! Opening exquisite blind boxes. Crack! Crack! Crack! All the exquisite blind boxes were opened in succession. A cascade of sounds flooded Lin Yan's ears. "Congratulations, host! You have opened an exquisite blind box and received one month of cultivation experience. Ding. Congratulations, host. You have opened an exquisite blind box and received one month of Armament hockey cultivation experience. Ding. Congratulations, host. You have opened an exquisite blind box and received one month of observation hockey cultivation experience. Ding. Congratulations, host. Hey, as all 365
6:17 exquisite blind boxes were unveiled, an overwhelming spectacle of radiant light rendered him nearly unable to open his eyes. It was simply too much. Lin Yan's eyes widened, unable to suppress his astonishment. Rewards cascaded in rapid succession. This process lasted a full 10 minutes. Once the rewards manifested, they were all infused into Lin Yan's being. Lin Yen felt an unprecedented surge of power within. Her strength escalating like the relentless rise of the ocean tide. Make it te long last. The culmination of 365 exquisite blind box sound effects came to an end. Ding. 365 exquisite blind boxes have been opened and the system is currently tallying the rewards acquired by the host. Statistical analysis completed.
7:04 Congratulations host. You have acquired 240 months of cultivation experience. Congratulations host. You have obtained 240 months of devil fruit cultivation experience. Congratulations host. You have received 240 months of observation hockey cultivation experience. Congratulations host, you have gained 240 months of armament hockey cultivation experience. Congratulations host, you have acquired the thunder fruit. Congratulations host, you have obtained the kaleidoscope charinggon of Beto's version. Chapter 2, the Thunderfruit. Not even a dog would eat it. As Lin Yen gazed at the completion of the system statistics, particularly fixating on the Thunderfruit and the kaleidoscope charinggon he had just acquired, he could no longer contain himself. In a moment of disbelief, he
7:51 leapt from his spot. Could this truly be real? The Thunderfruit and the Kaleidoscope Shainggon. What a stroke of luck. Despite his desire to temper his excitement, the mere presence of these two extraordinary items before him was utterly irresistible. Without hesitation, Lin Yin swiftly retrieved the Thunderfruit, feeling its weighty presence in his grasp. An exhilarating wave surged through him, for it was well known that devil fruits were categorized by ranks, and the Thunderfruit stood proudly among the elite, even within the vast expanse of the Grand Line. It was undeniably an SSR level devil fruit. Although the emergence of the nikafruit had led to a derogatory joke about the thunder fruit and the flame flame fruit being undesirable, the latter was deemed hopelessly inferior. Any formidable warrior could effortlessly summon flames
8:37 with a mere punch. Truly, it was a fruit that no one would desire. Nonetheless, this did not diminish the esteemed status of a thunderfruit. Its potency was irrefutable, consuming it could be likened to a meteoric rise to power, especially with the kaleidoscope charinggon accompanying it. And not just any version, but the Aido variant capable of replication. Chemi and Susenu. If one would encapsulate the current situation in four words, it would be woohoo. Taking off. Lin Yans exhilaration was beyond containment. Restless with anticipation, he unhesitatingly consumed the thunderfruit. Thus, the second Lightning Man of the Grand Line was born. However, after ingesting the Thunderfruit, Lin Yin found himself momentarily stunned. It was commonly said that devil fruits
9:23 were bitter and unpleasant, difficult to swallow. Yet to his astonishment, this particular fruit was not only devoid of bitterness, but bore a hint of sweetness. System prompt, all abilities acquired through fishing from the system will not carry their inherent side effects. At that moment, the system clarified, "No side effects? Did this imply that it would not share the curses associated with devil fruits, such as the aversion to sea water or sea prism stone? Marvelous." Lining Yin nodded in agreement, silently praising the revelation. Beyond the Thunderfruit, other abilities also captured Lin Yians attention. A staggering 240 months of training experience, equivalent to a full 20 years. This truly exemplified the adage, can you withstand 20 years of effort in a single
10:08 punch? In essence, Lin Yin had inexplicably augmented his foundational training and power by a full 20 years. No wonder he felt an overwhelming surge of primal energy brewing and solidifying within him upon opening the exquisite blind box. System display character panel Lin Yin commanded the system.

10:54 shaing review super first rate strength lenth in the Grand Line. Beholding his character panel, Lin Yin marveled at the fruits of an entire year's labor spent fishing. He could only exclaim, "Incredible. The fishing system was truly remarkable system. My bait has run out. How can I replenish it?" While Elation course through him, Lin Yin faced the pressing concern of replenishing his depleted bait. The question loomed, "How could he do so?" Dear host, greetings. The method to acquire bait will be issued through system tasks. The task system template is now activated. Task one within 10 days. Hun a pirate with a bounty exceeding 100 million. Completing this task will yield 10 bait. The system presented the task template. Had the task been issued, Lynion scrutinized the task panel, stroking his chin, a bounty
11:41 of 100 million seemed rather steep. In the first half of the Grand Line, this would place one near the level of a supernova. However, let us not forget this was a new world where formidable warriors abounded. The number of pirates with a bounty of 100 million was indeed countless. Coincidentally, just yesterday, a pirate crew with a staggering bounty of 150 million had landed on the island. They wreaked havoc, pillaging and committing unspeakable atrocities, turning the island into a scene of chaos. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yen resolved to target them for the sake of Tenbait, while simultaneously aiding the local residents in ridding themselves of these scoundrels. A glint of cold determination flickered in Lin Yan's eyes. Chapter 3. A single strike shocking the crowd. The Battle Axe
12:28 pirates led by Captain Battleax boasted a bounty of 150 million. Armed with two pair Blossom Battle axes, he could easily dispatch even the likes of Jean Feay or Zuluang. His first mate, Jack, held a bounty of 86 million and was a formidable swordsman of exceptional prowess. Their crew consisted of 300 season warriors, each battleh hardardened and capable of navigating the treacherous new world. Within a mere day, the Battleax pirates pillaged the island as if they were invading marauders, seizing wealth and women alike, loading everything onto their ship. The island s inhabitants suffered greatly, living in terror, unwilling to resist in the face of such overwhelming strength. The ground was littered with the cold corpses of those who had dared to fight back. Please don't take my
13:14 daughter. An elderly woman cried, clutching her child tightly. "Get away!" A crew member of the Battleax Pirates kicked the woman aside, forcefully dragging her daughter away. "Don't take my wife." Another man clutched his beloved's hand tightly. "D But his plea was met with the swift, merciless blade of a pirate, severing his arm, which fell to the ground with a thud. Identical scenes of despair unfolded in every corner of the island. Countless lives were extinguished, treasures looted, and women forcibly abducted. Rivers of blood flowed and the island became a veritable hell on earth. Yet, it must be noted that the wealth possessed by the island's inhabitants was considerable, and the allure of the women was undeniable. However, to the pirates, they were merely play things. Haha. On the ship of the battle axe
13:59 pirates, the crew erupted into rockish laughter, seemingly indifferent to the hellish scene unfolding before them. Behind them, the captured women bore expressions of sheer terror, their eyes wide with dread. They remained oblivious to the fate that awaited them. Yet it was undeniable that from this very moment forth, their bodies and souls would no longer belong to themselves. As the battle axe pirates laughed heartily, despair enveloped the captured women. It was a truly tragic sight. Lynn Yin perched himself at top the mast of the ship, observing the chaos below, inhaling the acurate scent of blood in the air. With an expression of calm detachment, he remarked, "Many perceive pirates as the protagonists of adventurous tales filled with fervor. But who truly understands the mountains of blood and bones that lie hidden in
14:46 the dark corners of this world? What lies before us is merely the tip of the iceberg? What manner of person are you?" As the captain of the Battle Axe pirates, Battle Axe was the first to sense the impending danger. He quickly looked up towards Lin Yin, who remained seated on the mast. Upon hearing the captain's inquiry, the crew members, seasoned by countless trials between life and death, drew their swords in unison, their gazes fixated upon the ominous presence of Lin Yen. Who are you? Battle axe furrowed his brow, brandishing his ax towards Lin Yin, demanding an answer under the watchful eyes of the entire crew and the captured women. Lynn Yin made his move. He leapt down gracefully, landing firmly on the deck. Forgive me, I merely passed through this place. I come to your battle axe pirates in search of a
15:31 particular item. An item? What item? The vigilance in battle ax's eyes did not wain. Lin Yin maintained his serene demeanor, sweeping his gaze across the crew before finally locking onto the captain with an expression of indifference. He uttered what seemed to be a trivial remark. Your head. As those words hung in the air, an icy chill enveloped the surroundings, the temperature plummeting drastically. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yen surged forward, vanishing from sight. In an instant, he moved like a startled rabbit. A thunderous roar echoing through the air as lightning illuminated the sky, casting a crimson hue upon the ocean. Linen speed was such that only fleeting shadows remained visible. Be cautious, everyone. He is a master. Battle ax's pupils constricted in alarm,
16:17 intent on warning his crew. However, before he could finish his sentence, a swift slash from Lynn Yin severed his head cleanly, sending it arcing through the air. In that moment, the world appeared as a monochrome painting. Battle Ax's neck snapped and dark blood erupted like a fountain, splattering across the deck, staining the ship crimson. With a thud, his head crashed onto the deck. And in that instant, he beheld the entirety of his own body. Why? Why can I see my own body? Unfortunately, before he could ponder further, the renowned pirate with a bounty of 150 million was mercilessly slain, meeting his demise on the spot. Chapter 4. This is the unseen realm of the pirate world. Captain. Upon witnessing their leader being annihilated in the blink of an eye, the
17:03 members of the battle axe pirates were left utterly astounded. This was their captain, a figure with a bounty exceeding 100 million. Even when facing ordinary naval forces, he was unlikely to find a worthy opponent. More significantly, where were they? This was the new world, a place where only the strongest pirates could thrive. Far removed from the rabble of the first half of the Grand Line. The Battle Axe pirates had endured countless trials. Their strength such that they had established a foothold in the New World. Yet even so, Battle Axe could not last a single exchange against Lin Yen before losing his head. The crew stood in shock, their eyes wide as saucers, their expressions betraying disbelief. The same astonishment gripped the captured women who had expected doom but found hope instead in Lin Yan's unexpected arrival. After a brief moment of stunned
17:49 silence, rage took over the battle axe pirates. Together, avenge our captain. Kill him, kill him. Fueled by a surge of emotions, they charged forward, weapons drawn, their faces a light with intense hatred towards Lin Yen. Alas, against overwhelming power, Fervor alone could not bridge the chasm. 1 million volts. Lin Yin grasped the lightning with one hand and unleashed a devastating punch. The shockwave fruit activated, engulfing the entire battle axe pirates crew instant. Thud, thud. The crew members could not withstand the onslaught of thunder, their body succumbing to the violent impacts of lightning. Cries of agony echoed as one by one they fell to the ground. The ship s deck blackened, scorched by the surging electricity, leaving nothing alive in its wake. The
18:35 torrential lightning threatened to render them apart. You You are a devil fruit user. The first mate gazed at Lin Yan in disbelief. We seem not to have met before. Why do you target us? Who? Who are you? Does it matter who I am? Just as an ant does not recognize your foot, Lin Yen replied, his gaze sweeping over them with an air of indifference. What do you intend to do? The first mate stammered, his voice trembling. The disparity in strength was palpable, and he realized they had provoked a formidable entity today. Did I not mention? I merely seek to borrow your captain's head," Linan declared. No longer inclined to engage in further dialogue. He slowly raised his hand, clenching it as the lightning in the air began to compress and coalesce. Gathering towards the crew of the battle
19:21 axe pirates, the crew could no longer bear the pressure exerted by the shockwave fruit. Struck directly by the thunder fruit, he perished on the spot, transforming into a mist of blood that rotted away in the air. The sea breeze swept in, dispersing the sanguin fog. In less than half a minute, the axe pirates were annihilated. Congratulations, host. You have successfully hunted down a pirate with a bounty exceeding 100 million, earning 10 bait. The system chimed in, indicating Lin Yans task was complete. However, he paid little heed to this. His gaze instead fixated on the trembling group of girls who had been captured. Lin Yian side. Such occurrences transpired daily across various corners of the world. This is the hidden truth of the vast realm of one piece. You are safe now. Leave this
20:06 place. Lynn Yin declared as he released their shackles. Can we truly go back? One girl, her face marred with bruises and blood, inquired. They have all been dealt with. No one will disturb you again. Lin Yin reassured them gently. Upon hearing this, although tears stained their faces, the girls panic gradually subsided. "Thank you. Thank you." The rescued girls whispered with pitiful, fragile voices. You are too kind. After ensuring their safety, Lin Yin intended to depart. Even though he had saved these girls, it ultimately did not alter the fate of the village ravaged by pirates. He could not help but let out a long sigh. Just as Lin Yin was about to leave, a girl called out, "Mister, could you tell us your name?" She yearned to know the name of the man who had rescued them. Lin Yian paused in his steps, turning his back to them, and
20:53 replied softly, "Lynn." As the words fell, a gentle breeze swept by, and the girls suddenly found themselves blinking in astonishment. In the next moment, the mysterious man had vanished into the sea wind. Chapter 5. Wait, what? I just fish up 10 bait. Enough for me to fish for 10 days. Sigh. It still feels a bit insufficient. Ever since acquiring something wonderful from the exquisite blind box last time, Lin Yen have been longing for these bait. Cultivation. More cultivation. Fishing is far more delightful. For the next few days, Lin Yin devoted his time either to fishing or traversing a path to it. Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained one month of fruit cultivation. Ding! Congratulations, host. You have acquired one month of Armament hockey cultivation. Ding! Congratulations,
21:39 host. You have received a volume of golden plum upper. Ding! Congratulations, host. Generally speaking, Lin Yen preferred to amass supplies, planning to open exquisite blind boxes once he had gathered enough. It was akin to cracking open sunflower seeds and savoring the last mouthful all at once. No need to elaborate on that exhilarating sensation. Yet, his impatience got the better of him. He decided to forego the hoarding. He would fish one exquisite blind box and open it, then fish another and repeat the process. However, among the rewards he obtained, an anomaly surfaced. Wait, what did I just receive? Lion suddenly looked up, hastily glancing at the system warehouse. In that moment, he was taken aback. Golden Plum. Initially astonished, he subsequently fell into a
22:25 days. Isn't this the infamous book that had swept the nation? Lin Yians expression grew serious. His spirit ignited. System reveal yourself. What on earth is this thing I fished up? I Lynn would read such a book. What a joke. I have my pride, my integrity. Who would be interested in such literature? Dear host, would you like to destroy Golden Plum? The system prompted, "M upon hearing the option to destroy it?" Lin Yin hesitated. He stroked his chin and declared with righteous indignation. "Well, since it was obtained through fishing, why not keep it?" As he spoke, Lin Yin appeared rather pretentious, insisting he merely wished to take a glance, nothing more. Really, you must believe me. As a resolute youth of the 21st century, accustomed to the myriad scenes in adult films, he considered himself battleh hardened. He did not
23:12 think a mere book could sway him. Occasionally perusing it after meals could even be beneficial for health, he reasoned. Did not the elders say to achieve health and longevity, one must indulge in smoking, drinking, eating fatty foods, sleeping late, and befriending the opposite sex. Taking advantage of his leisure, he glanced around, confirming no one was near before secretly retrieving the book. As he opened the first page, the dazzling and captivating words immediately caught his eye. Naturally, the first page could not entice a season reader like Lin Yen. However, as the plot deepened and the pace quickened, enthralling scenes gradually unfolded. With each turn of the page, the prowess of the most remarkable book began to reveal itself. Lin Yen felt a shiver run through him, utterly captivated. Wow, this is
23:58 exhilarating. He never anticipated that after crossing into the world of pirates, he could indulge in such perks. Linen gulped, his eyes glazed over. He continued leafing through the book, increasingly enchanted with each page. Fishing. Fishing cannot compare to the allure of this book. Perhaps I shall forego fishing altogether. It must be admitted, the golden plum truly deserves its reputation as a masterpiece. Lin Yen, now a top tier expert in a new world, as a normal man, could hardly resist the temptations of such literature. He felt a stirring within. No, I mean, his fists, his fists were invigorated. Meanwhile, at the port of this archipelago, Isizo, the captain of the 16th division of the Whitebeard pirates, had just arrived. It is worth noting that this oceanic territory
24:44 belonged entirely to the Whitebeard pirates. The island was adorned with their flag. Now amidst their own territory, the residents were under threat from other pirates. Isizo's expression darkened immediately. He promptly led his crew to the scene. Due to the distance, the journey took an entire day. However, upon arrival, Isizo was slightly taken back. Contrary to his expectations of a village ravaged and plundered by pirates. The reality was far less grim. Aside from a faint burnt scent in the air, the scene was not as devastated as he had imagined. "What is going on?" Isizo pondered, feeling perplexed. After ensuring the villagers were settled, he began to inquire about the events that had transpired. A man named Lynn rendered assistance to them and annihilated the axe pirate crew. Ezong felt a flicker of astonishment
25:30 within. He had certainly heard of the axe pirate crew, notorious for their bounty of 150 million, ruthless in their killings, and insatiably bloodthirsty. Wherever they set their sights, only ruins remained. If there were just one member of the axe, it might be manageable. However, they commanded an entire ship of pirates. The sudden and inexplicable demise of such a formidable crew overnight without leaving a single corpse behind was indeed baffling. Lynn Ezong narrowed his eyes, committing the name to memory. Chapter 6. The arrival of the Whitebeard pirates. How intriguing. I am most eager to meet this Lynn. Ezong stroked his chin, then murmured. Ren, what do you think of this individual? Ren, the vice captain of the 16th division, was one of Ezong's most trusted subordinates. The ability to
26:15 single-handedly obliterate the axe pirate crew surely indicated remarkable prowess. After a moment's contemplation, Ren instinctively voiced his thoughts. However, at that moment, he paused slightly, having caught the underlying implication in Ezong's tone. Captain, you mean if possible, I would like to meet him and spar? Eison's eyes sparkled with intensity. The Whitebeard pirates forbade private duels, and after years of restraint, Ezong felt an itch to engage. It was a rare opportunity to encounter such an interesting opponent. How he let slip away. Immediately, he instructed his crew to inquire about Lynn's whereabouts in the town. After half a day's search, news about Lynn indeed reached Eizong's ears. In the hills behind the town, there was a fisherman. According to the frequent passers by, his appearance was
27:01 strikingly similar to that of Lynn, the one who had recently rescued their town. Presently, he had been fishing in the hills for an entire year, occasionally descending to procure supplies. At first, many wondered if he had lost his mind, who would spend an entire year idly fishing. However, when the town was ravaged by pirates, and Lynn single-handedly eradicated the axe pirate crew, the town's folk were left in shock. They finally recognized the extraordinary nature of this young man. Henceforth, the residents held the hills behind the town in even greater reverence and admiration. the hills behind the town. Upon hearing this, Ezongs eyes lit up. He led all members of the 16th division towards the hills of the archipelago. There, Lin Yin was fishing while engrossed in his little Maymay, occasionally breaking
27:46 into a mischievous grin, reminiscent of someone secretly browsing the internet in bed, dimming the lights and quietly entering a string of mysterious codes. Suddenly, a voice from the system chimed in, "Ding! Dear host! A new task has been issued. Task two, within 10 days, defeat three enemies with a bounty of 300 million. Completing this task will reward you with 20 bait. Hearing the systems announcement, Lin Yin shifted his gaze from May. Another task has been issued. To be honest, the 10 bait obtained from annihilating the axe pirate crew was woefully insufficient for Lin Yen. After the beginner's gift pack expired, his bait supply dwindled sharply. What was once a scarce resource had now become a precious commodity. He needed to acquire more bait in the shortest possible time. Of course,
28:32 defeating adversaries with a bounty of 300 million was not a daunting challenge for him. It wasn't he arrogance. It was simply that he no longer viewed those of such strength as equals. Yet, Hin lay the problem. Where could he find foes with bounties exceeding 300 million? The true concern was not about the strength itself, but the difficulty of locating them. Moreover, Tass had deadlines. 10 days was hardly sufficient. As Lin Yin pondered his dilemma, a group of individuals entered his line of sight. Ezong surveyed the area and soon spotted Lin Yen. The young man fishing was indeed the Lynn spoken by the town's folk. Ezong approached Lin Yen. Do you know a man named Lynn? Although he suspected Lin Yangs identity out of politeness, Ezong initiated the inquiry. Lynn? Lin Yen paused quickly, recalling the identity he had revealed to the
29:19 villagers not long ago. Was this group here for him? The only recent conflict he had was with the Axe pirate crew. Lin Yen remained composed. You are members of the Axe pirate crew, aren't you? Upon hearing this, and his vice captain exchanged glances, momentarily takenback. We are members of the Ax pirate crew. What does that mean? Ezong asked momentarily flustered. Enough with the pretense. If you seek revenge, come at me. Don't say I didn't te give you a chance, Lin Yin said, his frustration evident. How is he to find foes with bounties exceeding 300 million? This made him utterly uninterested in the remnants of the axe pirate crew before him. Aren't you here for retribution? Let us settle this quickly. Lin Yen beckoned them, signaling that if they wish to fight, they should proceed. Chapter 7. The crooked mouth dragon
30:04 king. Ezong of the 16th division. Oh. Ezong realized that Lin Yen had misunderstood their intentions. He had initially planned to clarify, but soon he considered Lin Yan strength. A smile crept onto his lips, twisting into a crooked grin. Since you have said so, let me experience your strength firsthand. Ezong decided not to rectify the misunderstanding. He had two primary objectives in seeking Lin Yen. First, to test Lin Yians abilities. Second, if Lin Yen proved to be as formidable as anticipated. The 16th Division would not hesitate to extend an invitation for him to join the Whitebeard pirates. After Ezong expressed his intentions, the vice captain and other crew members exchanged glances, and in their eyes, they found amusement. It was well known that the division commanders of the Whitebeard
30:51 pirates were renowned and powerful. Even who ranked at the bottom was a respected figure in the Grand Line. To challenge their division commander, one must be out of their wits. The crew shook their heads. Even though Lin Yen had obliterated the axe pirate crew overnight, they did not believe he could truly hold his ground against Captain Ehong. A spectacle was about to unfold to challenge Captain Ezong. This individual possessed an audacity that was anything but ordinary. Tsk tsk tsk. I find myself eagerly anticipating the astonished expression he will wear shortly. This man is in for a stroke of misfortune. The vice captain and crew exchanged banter, their faces adorned with broad smiles as they stepped back, clearing a space for the two combatants. Izumi swiftly drew his twin pistols from behind him, the weapons twirling
31:37 elegantly at his fingertips before he grasped them firmly. Careful. Swords and blades are indiscriminate. He declared, his demeanor calm and his smile unwavering. He possessed an unwavering confidence in his abilities. After all, he would not have been appointed to the position of vice captain today otherwise. You are quite the gentleman, Lin Yin remarked, glancing up at him. Let us not waste words. Let the duel commence. Izumi casually cracked his wrist, his tone relaxed. The two sides aligned themselves on the open ground, an invisible wave of tension enveloping them. Izumi merely smiled in silence. In an instant, he sprang forward, his foot striking the ground with such force that it left a dent in the sand, propelling him like an arrow released from its bow, appearing before Lin Yen in a flash. He
32:22 leveled his gun at Lin Yan's head. Bang! Flames erupted from the muzzle. In the wake of the gunshot, the bullet sliced through the air, hurtling towards Lin Yen. Just then, Lin Yen tilted his head, narrowly evading the projectile, dodged as a master of firearms. Izumi's speed in drawing his weapon was a given, yet he did not dwell on it. He closed the distance again, delivering a swift kick towards Lin Yen, who adeptly sidestepped once more. "Oh, quite impressive speed!" Iumi nodded appreciatively. A true expert reveals their prowess with a single move. "No wonder he could obliterate the axe pirates. Without a doubt, Linan strength had earned his respect merely for keeping pace with him. Let me see just how formidable you truly are." Izumi suddenly surged forth, his speed and power escalating even
33:08 further. In the face of Izumi's sudden onslaught, Lin Yin remained unhurried, his body shifting with remarkable agility. It was these seemingly trivial movements that allowed him to narrowly evade all of Isumi's attacks. As the vice captain of the white team, Izzumi instinctively sensed the threat posed by Lin Yan strength. It was akin to unleashing a combo only to see a series of misnotifications flash over the boss's health bar. This individual is no ordinary foe. The other members of the 16th division also perceive this unfolding spectacle, their eyes betraying a hint of astonishment. We certainly underestimated him. It must be said Lynn possesses a certain capability. He can actually keep up with the captain's speed. Observers from the surrounding divisions expressed their opinions. However, just as they began to
33:55 admire Lin Yans prowess, he remarked somewhat incredulously, I hadn't expected the members of the Axe pirates to possess some degree of skill. You've truly opened my eyes. Indeed, throughout the encounter, Lin Yin had regarded his opponent merely as a member of the Axe Pirates. His words caused the members of the 16th Division to exchange bewildered glances. Had he truly, he not recognized the Isumi as the vice captain of the Whitebeard pirates? when had their vice captain's fame diminished to such an extent. Once more, Lin Yan's composed demeanor ignited Isumi's battle fervor. He drew his guns again, unleashing a torn of bullets with deadly precision. This time, the angles of his shots were particularly cunning, almost all aimed at Linnan's blind spots. No matter what actions he took, a follow-up shot would surely find its mark. In
34:40 addition to his dual wielding prowess, Izzumi's hand-to-hand combat skills were equally formidable. He closed in at lightning speed. A sweeping kick aimed at Lin Yan. A flicker of surprise crossed Lin Yan's face. The true strength of Izumi. At the level of vice captain was laid bare before him. He couldn't he help but hesitate among the remnants of the axe pirates. There existed such a powerful adversary. If such strength were present, how is it possible that the bounty was merely 150 million? Yet Lion quickly regained his composure, a slight smile gracing his features. Regardless of who stood before him, the outcome would remain unchanged. Chapter 8. What is the speed of light? This is the speed of light. In the face of Izumi's relentless assault, Lin Yin continuously evaded all of Isumi's
35:26 attacks falling short. Every bullet resulting in a miss. Izumi felt a pang of frustration. He accelerated, attempting to suppress Lin Yin with sheer speed. But when it comes to speed, how many can rival the Thunderfruit? If one were to claim that Kizaru's pika pika nomi could elevate one's speed to the speed of light, then Lin Yians thunderfruit in theory could approach that same velocity infinitely. In this moment, Lin Yin moved at the speed of light and Isumi felt an overwhelming pressure. A flash of red glimmered in his eyes as he activated his observation hockey. Yet, even with a haki, he cannot catch so much as a glimpse of Lin Yan's after image. This Haki cannot even detect him. Just how fast is he? Izumi's eyes widened in disbelief, a rare expression of shock gracing his face.
36:11 Perhaps he had previously lamented Lin Yan's evasiveness. But now, witnessing his true speed, Izzumi comprehended the qualitative gap that lay between them. Linen was simply too fast, so astonishingly swift, it defied comprehension. How could there exist a man so rapid in this world? Linen. It was evident that this Lynn possessed an extraordinarily high mastery of his devil fruit. Izumi grew increasingly cautious. However, mere caution would prove feudal, Linen, harnessing the power of thunder, assued any flamboyant abilities. Approaching the speed of light, he merely aimed a kick at Izumi. Instinctively, Iumi crossed his arms over his chest, adopting a defensive stance. Alas, all of this was in vain. Boom! The arena erupted in chaos.
36:58 Thunder roared, tearing through the heavens. Izumi was sent hurtling backward, akin to a supernova struck by Kizaru's kick, crashing to the ground and carving a long trench in the earth. Lin Yen, with one leg poised on the ground, hands tucked casually in his pockets, exuded an air of command, as he remarked, "Oh dear, have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?" Were he dawn a cape adorned with the word justice, the position of the next Kazeru's aid would undoubtedly belong to Lin Yen. His mimicry was so flawless that even Kazuru would feel overshadowed. Izumi, now in considerable discomfort coughed cough cough. Linean speed was so astonishing that it left him nearly incapable of reacting within his heart. A sense of shock surged forth. The other members of the 16th division upon witnessing the spectacle were equally unsettled. This
37:45 fellow, his speed is remarkable. Could it be that he injured Captain Aang with merely a single strike? Just one strike. The members of the 16th division could hardly contain the tumult within their hearts as they beheld their captain being knocked to the ground by Lin Yans kick. One by one, they gasped in disbelief, struggling to trust their own eyes. Eizang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, utterly taken aback by Lin Yans prowess. Lynn, you have truly astonished me. Isang clumsily rose from the ground, gripping his twin pistols tightly. Whereas his prior interest in Lynn Yin was merely slight now. The warriores desire within him had been ignited in full, who does not yearn for a contest with a formidable opponent. His eyes sparkled with the allure of treasure as he gazed at Lin Yen before him. The battle had commenced. Ignoring his injuries, sought
38:33 to seize the initiative, raising his twin pistols and locking on a Lin Yen. Bang bang bang. Countless bullets erupted from his hands. Lin Yin remained composed, initiating his elemental transformation, allowing the bullets to pass harmlessly through him. Witnessing this, heart raced. Was it the elementalization of the devil fruit's power? Soon after, a smirk graced his lips as he retrieved a magazine from his pocket. A closer inspection revealed it was filled with sea prism stone bullets. The sea prism stone possesses an undeniable restraining power against those with devil fruit abilities. This was one of Isizang's trunk cards specifically designed to counteract the elemental transformation of devil fruit users with a speed that rivaled the swiftest of ninjas. Isizang swiftly
39:20 reloaded his weapon. The motion so rapid it seemed to leave behind an after image. He chambered round, aimed, and pulled the trigger. Bang bang bang. As he watched Lynn Yin remain unfazed, a glimmer of hope sparked within. It is well known that elementalization cannot withstand the sea prism stone. In other words, if one does not evade, the sea prismstone bullets are bound to hit their mark. Even the likes of Kazeru would be brought low before the might of these bullets. Just as Aizang believed that Lin Yen would be struck down, tipping the scales of victory in his favor. Swish, swish, swish. Three bullets passed through Lin Yang's body as if they had struck Cotton, causing no ripple whatsoever. What? Isizang's eyes widened in disbelief. The captain of the 16th division had been unaffected by the
40:05 sea prism stone bullets. How could this be? Elementalization does not operate in such a manner, observing astonishment. Lin Yen remained unperturbed. Indeed, elementalization could not resist the sea prism stone bullets. But was what he had employed just now elementalization? The tomo and Lin Yan's eyes flickered momentarily. It was the ability of the kaleidoscope charinggon, the space of divine might. Yes, at that very moment, Lin Yin had invoked the power of the kaleidoscope Shainggon, which allowed him to disregard all harm for a brief duration. "What on earth is this ability?" Isizang asked, astonished. "You need not know," Lin Yin replied. Eizang furrowed his brow. This was more than just a formidable opponent. This was a true anomaly. In Lin Yen, he perceived an abundance of abilities he
40:52 had never before encountered. Chapter nine. Eizangs defeat. The crowd in uproar, gazing at Lin Yin, who continuously unveiled his trump cards. Elementalization immunity to sea prism stone bullets. Isizang was left utterly stunned. Damn, it can be played this way. A pang of regret washed over him for seeking to challenge Lin Yan. More importantly, he was acutely aware of the many other members of the 16th division observing. To lose would be to suffer a crushing defeat. Yet, as time passed, he increasingly sensed the terrifying potential of Lin Yan's devil fruit abilities. You are strong. This was not mere flattery. Eisen genuinely acknowledged Lin Yan strength. In truth, prior to the emergence of Anika fruit, the Thunderfruit was consistently ranked among the top three in the Grand Line,
41:37 even surpassing the Quake Fruit. However, with the advent of Anikafruit, the Flame Fruit and Thunderfruit have become virtually disregarded. Your twin pistols are impressive as well. Lin Yan praised following suit. Hearing Lin Yans mutual admiration, Isizang offered a bitter smile. At this juncture, there was nothing more to be said since he had resolved to engage Lin Yen. He would see it through to the end. Furthermore, he had come today with the intent of satisfying his desire for battle. Previously, I contemplated inviting you to join my pirate crew. I have since changed my mind. Let us engage in a thrilling battle. Isang adjusted his mindset and addressed Lin Yen. Invite me. The Battle Axe pirates hold quite the lofty status. Lynn Yin retorted with a mocking laugh. Upon hearing this, Isizang, who had been
42:23 filled with fervor moments earlier, felt a sudden constriction in his chest. For a moment, he found himself at a loss for words. The other members of the crew covered their foreheads, a wave of disbelief washing over them. Indeed, this fellow truly did not know they were the White Crew. Isizang forced a polite yet awkward smile before unleashing his full power once more. Drawing his twin pistols, he unleashed a flurry of bullets into the air. Not only that, but his speed had increased beyond what it had been before. Yes, he had resolved to give it his all. Swish, swish, bang, bang. If previously some ordinary members of the white crew could still observe the battle, now all they could hear were the sounds of wind, waves, the rush of air, and the crackle of sparks, they could no longer see anything. The
43:08 only thing they could perceive were two figures colliding in the sky. It must be said that as the captain of the division, possessed considerable strength, even in a disadvantaged position, when unleashing his full power, he could hold his ground against Lin Yen for a brief period. However, that was merely a fleeting moment. Compared to Lin Yin, his strength pad significantly. Moreover, throughout the encounter, Lin Yin had not yet unleashed his full power, treating his opponent merely as remnants of the Battle Axe pirates. Gradually, sweat beated on the forehead of as he began to feel overwhelmed. 50 million volts. At that moment, Lin Yen conjured a tempest of lightning. The cataclysmic eruption of 50 million volts reverberated through the air. In an instant, the scene was engulfed in a cacophony of thunder,
43:54 resonating with immense power. Stars cascaded down, their brilliance illuminating the surroundings. Scarlet bolts of lightning struck fiercely, creating a tumultuous impact. The winds howled, the sea surged, and a formidable aura enveloped the area, instilling awe in all directions. The very ground was upheaved, scorched earth strewn about by the relentless fury of lightning. With a thunder rolled, the heavens dimmed and all retreated, dazzled by arcs of electricity. Ultimately, on that beach, laden with the aftermath of the Tempest, could not withstand Lin Yan's thunderous abilities. Like a kite severed from a string, he crashed heavily to the ground. With Eizangs fall, this battle drew to a close. At this moment, the most astonished witnesses were
44:39 undoubtedly the other members of the 16th division, who watched in stunned silence as their captain was defeated. The members of the 16th division swallowed hard. Their gazes fixated on Lin Yen, who was Isizang. He was the captain of the 16th division of the White Beer Pirates. With a bounty of 510 million berries, a figure renowned across the seas, a paragon of strength, as they had previously stated, in the vast expanse of the Grand Line, every faction paid him due respect. They had anticipated a one-sided domination from their captain, but they were gravely mistaken. Their captain had faced a unilateral onslaught from Lin Yan. The members of the 16th division were left in disbelief. The man they had placed such high hopes and had fallen. The ripples of turmoil surged within the hearts of the 16th division, refusing to
45:24 abate. Isang lay sprawled on the ground, gasping for breath. Though he had been defeated, he was not disheartened. Instead, he erupted in a laughter. Haha, what a thrilling battle. It was truly exhilarating. Truth be told, the Whitebeard pirates forbade private duels, and suitable opponents were scarce outside their ranks. Gradually, Isizang felt himself growing rusty. Thus, upon encountering Lin Yen, he could not resist the urge to test his metal. Linen's prowess had not disappointed him. Even after unleashing his full strength, he remained no match for Lin Yan. This battle had been exceedingly satisfying, leading to an ever deepening admiration for Lin Yan. This Lynn truly possessed remarkable strength. Asang lay defeated, Lin Yan approached him. The members of the 16th
46:10 division tensed, fearing Lin Yin might engage in some reckless act. Ignoring the gazes around him, Lin Yin turned to Isizang and inquired, "You are not members of the Warax pirates, are you?" He had discerned that if the War Axe crew truly possessed such power, they could not simply be a nameless crew in the New World. Indeed, we are not, Eizang replied, a faint smile gracing his pale face as he lay on the ground. My name is Eizang, the captain of the 16th division of the Whitebeard pirates. Chapter 10. The simplicity of friendship between men. My name is Eizang, captain of the 16th division of the Whitebeard pirates. At this revelation, Lin Yin paused, suddenly lifting his head. Damn it, he thought. No wonder this cross-dressing fellow seems so familiar. It turns out he is from the Whitebeard
46:56 pirates. In truth, this was not Lin Yan's fault. He had been in the pirate world for a whole year, and throughout that time, he had mostly been engaged in fishing. He had nearly forgotten much of the original storyline, especially concerning certain inconsequential characters. The capacity of his memory was limited. Who could possibly retain so much information? Ding. Congratulations, host. Your mission has been updated. Mission two. Within 10 days, defeat three enemies with a bounty of 300 million. Current progress defeated Eizang, captain of the 16th division of the Whitebeard pirates with a bounty of 510 million. Mission progress 13. Completing the mission rewards 20 bait. Suddenly, Lin Yan's task had been updated, and in a moment of confusion, he had completed 1/3 of
47:43 it. Upon realizing this, Lin Yan's previously calm demeanor ignited with excitement. "Was this a case of serendipity? What brings you to me?" Linen asked, his spirits soaring as he had completed a third of his mission. A smile spread across his face as he addressed Eizang. To be candid, I am here to thank you for rescuing the towns folk, and I have taken a keen interest in you. Nonetheless, that is of little importance now. Lynn, I am truly pleased to make your acquaintance. Struggling to his feet, dusted himself off and responded, "Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yin smiled slightly, gradually warming to Isizang. Without hesitation, Isizang gestured grandly, arranging a lavish feast for them as the captain of the 16th division and inviting Lin Yin to partake. Upon hearing of the feast,
48:30 Lin Yin cast a lingering glance at Isang. How could he possibly refuse a chance to indulge in free food? Everyone despises free loading, yet everyone enjoys it. All right. Without a second thought, he agreed. The members of the 16th division swiftly set off to prepare in the town to avoid disturbing the residents. Isizang took Lin Yin aboard his ship. On board, the entire crew of the 16th division extended a warm welcome to Lin Yin, showering him with drinks. As a top tier powerhouse in the new world, Lin Yin easily handled the libations. Before long, he had downed a significant amount, leaving many inebriated. The simplicity of friendship between men is truly remarkable. Witnessing Lin Yangs prowess in both combat and libation, the members of the 16th division could not help but exclaim
49:15 in awe. With his gentle demeanor and concise speech, Lin Yen captivated the others, drawing them closer. Cheers erupted as they encouraged him to drink more, their spirits growing ever merrier. Thus unfolded a lively banquet filled with camaraderie and laughter, echoing through every corner of the 16th division's deck. The following dawn, the sun rose like a blazing fire, illuminating the sky. Standing on the deck was Isizu, the captain of the 16th division of the White Beer Pirates. His expression bore a hint of melancholy, and his face revealed a certain conflict within. Should he extend an invitation or not? Initially, he had indeed come with the intention of inviting Lin Yen to join their ranks. Yet, therein lay the conundrum. Defeating Lin Yen first and then offering an invitation seemed
50:01 reasonable enough. The crux of the issue was that he had never bested Lin Yen. Rather, he had suffered a crushing defeat to the point of being utterly disoriented. It was akin to the irony of attempting to show off only to be humiliated. Given such circumstances, was it appropriate to issue an invitation? Regardless of its appropriateness, one must at least make the attempt. From his observations during yesterday's banquet, it appeared that Lin Yin currently held no allegiance to any faction. Such a formidable individual, even without his invitation, would inevitably attract a multitude of others vying for his attention. As the saying goes, while at the sweet water flow to outsiders, if fate had brought them together, it would be unwise to let the opportunity slip away. Lynn, I trust you remember that from the very beginning, I intended to
50:48 invite you to join the Whitebeard pirates. Do you harbor any interest in our crew? At the moment, Isizu uttered these words, a wave of trepidation washed over him. Upon hearing Isizus invitation, Linian paused. Join your pirate crew as an admirer of the sea. Who wouldn't he be intrigued by the Whitebeard pirates? Of course, if you have any specific requests, feel free to mention them, and I shall do my utmost to accommodate you. Realizing that his initial offer lacked sincerity, Isizu promptly added, "I assure you, I mean it." Observing Isizus anxious demeanor, Lin Yian couldn't help but chuckle. This was certainly not the same spirited captain of the 16th division who had once sought him out for a challenge. So what is your answer? Aizu wiped his brow, feeling a mix of anticipation and dread. Ideally, he
51:33 should have declined. Lion s response was half-hearted as was customary in the traditions of Blue Star. Declining in principle often held deeper connotations. Unfortunately, Isizu was known for his straightforwardness. Upon hearing the principle-based refusal, he failed to grasp the underlying implications and assumed Lin Yen had outright rejected him. With a downcast gaze, Isiza muttered, "Very well, I respect your decision." Having failed to extend an invitation, he accepted Lin Yans choice with grace, sighing at Aizu's retreat. Lin Yan noted that this group was refreshingly direct in their approach. It seemed that subtlety was lost on them. With a gentle smile, he pivoted the conversation. However, I wouldn't he be opposed to an agreement provided my conditions are met. Chapter 11. Doubling salaries comprehensive
52:19 benefits. Upon hearing Lin Yans willingness, eyes sparkled with excitement. You agree? His tone grew increasingly urgent. Hold your horses. I have conditions. Lin Yin shook his head, maintaining a leisurely demeanor. What conditions? Speak freely. The prospect of successfully inviting Lin Yin to join their ranks sent Isu's mind racing. He was prepared to concede to any condition. "It's quite simple. Should I join your white beard pirates? What advantages do I gain?" Lin raised an eyebrow, adopting an expression that conveyed, "You know what I mean, advantages?" Realizing Lin Yan's intent, Aizu quickly replied, "Indeed, the Whitebeard pirates have established a formidable presence in the new world for many years. We possess extensive information, treasures of the Grand Line, and even valuable intelligence
53:06 regarding One Piece. Once you join us, we shall share all that with you." This is the essence of the Whitebeard pirates. Rest assured with me around, you shall not be shortchanged. I promise this as the captain of the 16th division. Aizu spoke earnestly, a look of somnity adorning his face as he painted an expansive picture of their potential future. Lion wiped the sweat from his brow information and treasure. Who on earth is interested in such ethereal concepts? I simply wish to inquire about the compensation structure within the Whitebeard pirates, specifically the monthly salary and whether there are comprehensive benefits. With an endearing grin, he laid bare his intentions. I'm laying my cards on the table. I desire tangible benefits, not lofty promises. Are you justing? Isa was momentarily takenback.
53:52 Lin Yen concerned about finances, comprehensive benefits. It seemed illogical. After all, a powerhouse like Lynn, Yin should be far beyond the allure of wealth, status, or accolades. Had it not been for Lin Yen s serious demeanor, Isiza might have thought him delusional. Nevertheless, with Lin Yin s words hanging in the air, Isizu hesitated but ultimately stealed himself. If you're willing to join, I'll make it happen. I'll double your salary and ensure you receive comprehensive benefits. Upon hearing Isizu s response, Lin gave him a thumbs up. Despite his formidable powers and possession of the Thunderfruit, the reality was that in the years since he had traversed into this world, he had arrived with not but empty pockets, without a single coin to his name. He had been so impoverished that one night an elderly lady knocked
54:38 on his door, complaining he had disturb. How could I have possibly disturb her? He wondered. He and team made a sound, nor had he engaged in any rockous behavior. Upon inquiry, he discovered that his very lack of funds had caused a racket, resulting in sleepless nights for the elderly. At that moment, Lion s mindset shifted dramatically as he fully comprehended the harsh truth. One cannot thrive without money. You promised no second thoughts, double salaries, and comprehensive benefits. Lynn Yin stated earnestly, fearful that Isizu might reig on the offer. Not a problem, nodded solemnly. This is the way to do it. Just provide me with something tangible. Very well then, I shall join the Whitebeard pirates. With Lin Yans agreement, the members of the 16th division erupted in jubilant cheers upon receiving the
55:25 news. After all, Lin Yan strength was evident to all. With such a formidable ally joining their ranks, the overall prowess of the Whitebeard pirates would ascend to unprecedented heights. Yet, on the journey back, Isizu found himself in a state of dismay. Was it truly just the promise of comprehensive benefits that had swayed Lin Yin to join their crew? Isizuku couldn't t shake the feeling that this was somewhat elusive. After all, from the moment he had joined the Whitebeard pirates, transforming from an ordinary crew member to the captain of the 16th division, he had employed countless methods to recruit new members. There were threats, temptations, recruitment, and the utilization of the vast resources of the Whitebeard pirates. However, today marked a first for me as I successfully lured an individual aboard using the
56:10 promise of benefits and security. The crux of the matter is that this individual possesses an extraordinary strength, far surpassing my own and even eclipsing that of an ordinary division commander. The turn of events feels rather absurd. Nevertheless, since Lynn Yin has consented, I isuku decided to act swiftly to prevent any unforeseen complications. I immediately secured the doors and windows and with a grand gesture commanded the fleet of the 16th division to set sail back to the stronghold of the Whitebeard pirates. Come, I shall take you to meet father. The mere prospect of inviting a powerhouse like Lin Yin aboard filled me with elation. Yet Lin Yans expression grew slightly peculiar upon hearing my words. Why does that sound somewhat odd? After a morning journey,
56:55 the 16th division returned to the Whitebeard stronghold. I will arrange your accommodations and you should be able to board the Moby Dick by tomorrow. Once I had settled Lin Yen, I promptly sought out Whitebeard on the deck of the Moby Dick. Whitebeard was convening a meeting with Marco, Jozu, Vista, and other division commanders. Just then, I burst in exclaiming, "Father, father, I have good news to share." My exuberant entrance captured the attention of many aboard the Whitebeard pirates. Marco, Jo, and Vista all turned to observe me. Their expressions a mixture of curiosity and surprise. "What is the matter with you?" Marco inquired, a hint of confusion, lacing his tone. This is t your usual aloof demeanor. Vista added with a slight smile. Did you stumble upon something noteworthy on this outing? Jou scratching his head and
57:42 bewilderment asked, "What is going on?" Chapter 12. This is not the way of the Whitebeard pirates. What transpired? A flicker of puzzlement crossed Whitebeard's eyes. As everyone suspected, I had always prided myself on my composure, rarely allowing my emotions to surface. Now, however, I was operating outside my norm, arriving in a flurry of excitement. Once I calmed myself, I recounted the encounter with Lin Yen, conveying that I had recruited an exceptionally powerful crew mate. Lynn's prowess rivals that of our division commanders, even Marco and Jozu. One must acknowledge the esteemed status our division commanders hold in these waters, largely due to the formidable presence of the world's strongest man, Whitebeard. Yet, it cannot be denied that each of the 16 commanders possesses strength comparable
58:28 to that of a vice admiral with abilities starting at a staggering 500 million. This is precisely why various factions afford them a degree of respect upon their arrival. Truly formidable, Vista raised an eyebrow. Not weaker than us, Joseu echoed. Both deep in thought. If Isuku's claims hold true, then the Whitebeard pirates have indeed stumbled upon a treasure. The addition of a commander-le powerhouse would undoubtedly elevate our collective strength to new heights. However, the ever composed Whitebeard remained unperturbed, casting a steady gaze over
…
