Are the Five Elders All This Good at Dodging Responsibility?

Shakky's Tavern in the Shakky Sabaody Archipelago.

As in the past.

Although Shakky's tavern wasn't exactly packed with people, it still had quite a few customers on occasion.

However.

Within three days of the Marineford War.

The tavern was deserted and no one paid any attention to it.

Even at the main entrance, there was a sign that said "Closed for Business"!

The reason is simple.

Three days ago.

Lin Yan, the captain of the Seventeenth Division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

They arrived here battered and bruised!

"When will Lin wake up?"

Inside the room.

Rayleigh looked at Lin Yan, who was lying on the hospital bed, barely breathing, with a hint of worry on his face and asked.

"Sigh, I've been unconscious for three days already!"

"We've used up all the medicine bottles in the tavern!"

Beside.

Shakky was also touching her chin, her eyes filled with worry.

Lin Yan's wounds have been bandaged.

The bleeding wound has healed completely.

It's worth mentioning.

Both of them have many years of sailing experience.

It's still possible to observe and learn from some simple treatments and cases.

Lin Yan has now fully recovered from her injuries and fortunately there is nothing seriously wrong with her.

He was still in a deep sleep due to mental exhaustion.

But that's exactly the case.

Generally speaking.

Even if you are mentally exhausted.

Surely it's not like someone could be unconscious for three whole days straight!

They weren't actual ship's doctors.

In this situation...

They were at a loss.

"I have to go out to buy medicine again. My already meager wallet is going to get even tighter."

"I don't care, if he wakes up, I'm going to give him a good beating."

Shakky looked at her now-empty wallet and gave a bitter smile, while secretly vowing to make a tough decision.

"You..."

Is it really necessary?

Rayleigh rubbed his forehead and smiled. He glanced at Shakky, wondering if she was obsessed with money.

"You're not in charge, what do you know!"

Shakky rolled her eyes at Rayleigh, annoyed.

"Yes, yes, I don't understand."

Rayleigh didn't argue with Shakky either.

Just as the two were preparing to continue caring for Lin Yan.

Lin Yan lay in her hospital bed.

There are finally signs of recovery.

"Hey boss, I'm not even fully awake yet, and you're already thinking about ripping me off?"

Is there no law left?

Lin Yan slightly opened her eyes and said.

Three days of sleep had left his body a little stiff.

My lower back and back ache.

As it turns out, even with exceptional physical abilities...

You can't lie flat either.

"Huh? You're awake?"

Shakky looked surprised to see Lin Yan finally wake up.

"Yes, thank you for taking care of me these past few days!"

Lin Yan spoke to the two of them with a hint of gratitude.

The Marineford War has ended.

He used his last ounce of strength.

He sent himself into the space of Kamui.

It was precisely through this opportunity that...

He arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, not far from Marineford.

And they arrived at Shakky's tavern.

Looking at Lin Yan, who was almost exhausted.

Shakky's expression changed repeatedly.

She looked around, then immediately brought Lin Yan inside!

After hanging up a sign that the tavern was temporarily closed.

Rayleigh also rushed back upon hearing the news.

Under their care.

Lin Yan was then able to recover.

"Don't thank me, this is chargeable. You've used up all the medicine I've stockpiled over the years!"

Shakky said in a money-grubbing tone.

"How could I dare refuse the money the landlady asked for? I'll definitely come back to thank her with a generous gift next time I have the chance!"

Lin Yan and Shakky had only known each other for a few months.

Yet the other party is helping me so personally.

From both a moral and logical standpoint.

They should repay the favor with generous gifts.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding!"

"It's not like I can't afford the medicine. You should rest for now!"

Shakky was just joking, even though she really enjoyed ripping people off.

But that only applies to strangers.

For acquaintances.

Generous donations are a given!

"By the way, what's the situation on the high seas lately?"

Lin Yan remained asleep, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

"I knew you'd ask about this when you woke up. Here, these are the newspapers from the last three days. I've already organized them for you. Let's start from the first one and look at them one by one!"

Shakky grabbed a stack of newspapers from the table next to her and handed them to Lin Yan.

"Is everything already packed?"

"Boss lady, you're so thoughtful!"

Hearing that Shakky had already gone this far for her, Lin Yan said with surprise in her eyes.

"Women should be more attentive, don't you think?"

Shakky said with a face full of pride.

"Yes, that makes sense!"

"If you were decades younger, I might have pursued you. Such a thoughtful girl is rare!"

Lin Yan expressed her feelings.

"Hmph, that's right!"

Listening to Lin Yan's words.

Shakky was overjoyed, and a rare smile appeared on her face.

At the same time, she glanced coldly at Rayleigh beside her, muttering, "What a pity, some people seem to have no appreciation for talent, not giving a single reaction all these years!"

Lin Yan heard this.

He also glanced at Rayleigh.

A knowing smile spread across my face.

Rayleigh scratched his head awkwardly.

Looking at Lin Yan and Shakky in front of him, one played the bad cop and the other the good cop.

He gave a wry smile.

No way.

I'm just standing here, doing nothing and saying nothing, and I'm being dragged into this mess?

Is it really necessary to ridicule me like this?

How cruel you are!

Lin Yan smiled and began to carefully examine the newspaper.

Regarding recent news.

The general idea is that the Whitebeard Pirates achieved a resounding victory, firmly establishing themselves as the Emperors of the New World.

At the same time, the navy was also criticized by many because of their Marineford.

Besides losing its absolute dominance on the high seas...

Public confidence in them has also declined significantly.

More importantly...

News of the defeat at Marineford War also reached Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Mary Geoise learned of this.

The Five Elders were furious!

Their navy initiated the war, but ended up in this predicament.

The Sengoku period utterly disgraced the Sengoku.

To prevent the situation from escalating.

In order to stop the spread of public opinion.

The Five Elders immediately shifted all the blame onto Fleet Admiral Sengoku!

Sengoku.

He became a sinner against the Navy.

They were the target of public criticism, and there was widespread resentment.

At the same time, he also became the designated scapegoat for the defeat in the Marineford War!

"Sengoku..."

Lin Yan looked at the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

Actually, he couldn't say he disliked this Fleet Admiral.

The clash between the two at Marineford War.

It's just that the two sides have different positions!

Moreover, after this battle...

Lin Yan had witnessed the charisma of this Fleet Admiral.

Simply to prevent the navy from losing face, all the blame was shifted onto him alone.

Lin Yan shook her head.

You Five Elders are really something!

Are you five old men made of stainless steel? How can your pans be so non-stick?

Lin Yan also came to understand this.

No wonder Zephyr was so determined to leave the Navy!

These old guys.

Anyone can become their pawn for their own selfish interests.

First Zephyr, then the Sengoku.

Who will be next?

A figure flashed into Lin Yan's mind— Sakazuki!
