The Whitebeard Pirates' Current Situation

"You're awake? Let's go check on you!"

A hint of madness flashed across Lin Yan's face before she answered the newcomer.

"Team Leader Lin, come with me."

Seeing Lin Yan's delighted expression, the man didn't waste any words and immediately began to lead the way for everyone.

Not long after, he brought Lin Yan to the Whitebeard's bedroom.

"You're back! It's good to be back! Gurararara!"

Having probably received the news beforehand, Whitebeard seemed to be in a very good mood.

Seeing Lin Yan appear unharmed before him, he let out a hearty laugh.

Whitebeard hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Since he began to grow old and frail, the Whitebeard Pirates ' lives have become increasingly difficult.

This is also a change of generations.

When an old king declines, he will inevitably be replaced by a new one.

It's all about timing and fate; we can't go against it!

Whitebeard was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, I'm not young anymore.

His only worry was his family; he feared that the Whitebeard Pirates would suffer after his death.

The New World appears calm on the surface, but everyone qualified to enter it is an outstanding individual.

Those were all wolves and jackals.

Whitebeard was willing but unable.

In fact, few people know that he went to the Marineford War with the resolve to die.

Even though they keep saying that human will can conquer nature.

But Whitebeard knew that the chances of victory were extremely slim.

But he has to go!

I would rather die than regret it!

Then Lin Yan appeared.

This man, like a miracle, appeared out of nowhere, saving the collapsing edifice and turning the tide, single-handedly shattering the navy's long-planned scheme.

It wasn't just about saving yourself from certain death.

He even revived the entire Whitebeard Pirates!

"Gulalalalala! I'm so happy today! Someone, prepare a feast!"

With a hearty smile, the Whitebeard looked at Lin Yan with increasing delight.

Finally, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Whitebeard was incredibly grateful that Lin Yan had joined the Whitebeard Pirates.

It's fair to say that without him, the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't be where they are today.

"Actually... we don't need to rush into the banquet."

"Let's focus on getting better first!"

Seeing the Whitebeard's hearty smile, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh as well, though her expression remained surprisingly calm.

"How have things been while I was away?"

Lin Yan asked.

"To be honest, it's not good."

Upon hearing this, the Whitebeard slowly wiped the smile from his face, a hint of seriousness flashing between his brows.

"Although we haven't lost any key members, we've lost nearly half our manpower. And those prisoners who recently joined won't be of immediate use."

A look of helplessness crossed the Whitebeard's face.

Although the Marineford War was a glorious victory, it left behind quite a few problems.

The most critical issue is the shortage of manpower.

With nearly half of its members lost, the Whitebeard Pirates were unable to carry out many of their daily operations, and could only maintain the most basic functioning.

It can be described as literally being strapped for cash.

Although Lin Yan brought in many prisoners, which could alleviate the situation, Whitebeard did not intend to use it immediately.

That's right, Whitebeard plans to observe for a while before making a decision.

The Whitebeard Pirates do not accept those with impure intentions!

Blackbeard's betrayal has served as a wake-up call for Whitebeard.

Imagine if Lin Yan hadn't been there; the Whitebeard Pirates would have truly faced annihilation.

Let alone yourself.

Even if the squad leaders manage to return alive, it's hard to say how many will actually survive!

Whitebeard had to be more cautious than ever before.

"I see, that's about what I expected."

After listening to the Whitebeard's explanation, Lin Yan nodded silently.

On the surface, the Whitebeard Pirates seem to be at their peak, but in reality, they are all bark and no bite.

The only solution...

"We need time now!"

Seeing Lin Yan deep in thought, the Whitebeard spoke in a deep voice.

For the Whitebeard Pirates, the most important thing right now is to recuperate and rebuild, which means they need to stall for as long as possible!

Once the squad leaders had finished recuperating, the prisoners Lin Yan had brought were mostly gathered together.

The Whitebeard Pirates at that time.

He is truly the emperor of the sea!

With ample manpower, his own survival, and the presence of Lin Yan in front of him...

Whitebeard had no doubt about this.

But the problem is...

Do some people really give themselves time?

The atmosphere became somewhat silent for a moment.

Lin Yan sat in front of the Whitebeard, her slender fingers tapping rhythmically on the table. After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly looked up and spoke.

"Perhaps we can too..."

"Lin! You're back!"

However, Lin Yan had just opened her mouth and hadn't even finished speaking when a large group of people burst in.

Marco, Jozu, the captains of each division, and Issho, Ryokugyu, and others whom I've gathered together recently.

Almost all the high-ranking Whitebeard Pirates were here.

"Wow, Lin! I admire you more than anyone else. You've got guts! You actually dared to rip me off like this?"

Marco was the first to smile and pat Lin Yan on the shoulder.

His face was practically radiating schadenfreude.

That's downright audacious!

During the time Lin Yan was away.

Let alone the general public, even people like them feel uneasy reading the daily newspapers.

And he actually succeeded!

Especially the Beasts Pirates.

That's a whopping 3 billion! Kaido's probably ready to smash the table in anger, right?

That feels so damn good!

Just imagining Kaido's furious expression made everyone unable to suppress a gloating smile.

That madman Kaido has caused them no shortage of trouble in the past.

Now they've got their comeuppance, haven't they?

"If you ask me, Lin is probably the most daring one among us. He actually dared to do something like this."

Jozu said in a muffled voice, then slowly gave Lin Yan a thumbs-up.

He was truly convinced!

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Alright, stop making a scene here. If you want to discuss this, go talk to each other in private."

Finally, Whitebeard raised his hand to stop the commotion.

"The most important thing now is to recover your strength as soon as possible. You are all the people I trust the most, so please bear with me during this time."

"No problem, Pops!"

"Leave it to me!"

The squad leaders nodded confidently, and a look of relief appeared on the Whitebeard's face. Then he turned to look at Lin Yan.

Everyone turned to look at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan is now practically half the backbone of the Whitebeard Pirates; no one objects to his arrangements.

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was helpless.

Why are you all staring at me?
