Scheming-Courtesy Demands Reciprocity

That was the roar of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of cannons roaring simultaneously.

In just a moment, the entire sky was completely engulfed by fire and shells.

If such an attack were to land on Saiken Island...

Without a doubt.

This island, with its beautiful hot springs, will suffer the same fate as Ohara in the past.

This would be a near-desperate scenario for anyone.

Even powerful figures like Aokiji and Zephyr.

It's easy to avoid this overwhelming barrage of artillery fire.

But if we want to block them all...

That's beyond the reach of humankind!

"Sakazuki!!!" Meow Meow said

Faced with the overwhelming barrage of artillery fire, even someone as composed as Aokiji couldn't help but let out a furious roar.

Scenes from Ohara from over a decade ago replayed in his mind.

Just as Akainu said.

This time, I still couldn't stop everything.

Even Zephyr's face was ashen, like the bottom of a pot.

However, faced with this scene that could be described as beyond human capability, Lin Yan suddenly smiled.

The reason is quite simple.

Because the vast majority of this seemingly overwhelming barrage of artillery fire...

They came for him!

This is only natural.

Having repeatedly provoked and disregarded Akainu's defeat of Kizaru, if one were to pinpoint the person Akainu hates most at this moment, it would undoubtedly be Lin Yan.

Akainu's order to attack the entire ship, besides stemming from his madness and extremism, also served to some extent as revenge against Lin Yan and Aokiji.

And there seem to be quite a few intelligent people in the navy.

It was correct that Akainu ordered the entire ship to open fire, and it was also correct that the target was Saiken Island.

However, Lin Yan and the others standing in front of Saiken Island... were also considered targets.

Lin Yan narrowed her eyes and took a deep look at the woman standing next to Akainu with a cold expression.

If I remember correctly... it should be called Momousagi)?

I don't know if she acted out of kindness or for some other reason...

But that's exactly what I wanted!

"Then let's give it a try!"

Facing the overwhelming barrage of shells, Lin Yan's lips curled into a wild and unrestrained smile, before she abruptly opened her eyes.

The once dark and deep pupils have now been replaced by the eerie patterns of the Sharingan.

Susanoo!

In the next instant, a giant resembling a skeleton rose from the ground, and before the horrified eyes of the navy, it stood facing the raging flames, long sword in hand.

"That... that one is?!"

Many sailors were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, especially those who had witnessed the scene during the Marineford War, whose eyes revealed deep fear.

A skeletal giant, crackling with lightning, stood before Saiken Island like a god.

Boom------!

The next instant, a barrage of artillery fire followed, engulfing the giant in the flames of the explosions.

"Kuzan! Attack!"

Zephyr reacted extremely quickly, almost the instant Lin Yan blocked most of the attacks. He shouted a warning to Aokiji, and then flew swiftly towards the remaining cannonballs.

Aokiji dared not be negligent, and immediately activated the power of his Ice-Ice Fruit.

The three of them worked together seamlessly.

Lin Yan faced most of the attacks, while Zephyr and Aokiji dealt with the remaining ones.

Almost miraculously, the first volley of naval fire stopped.

Not a single shell landed on Saiken Island!

"Call..."

Seeing this, even someone like Aokiji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned his gaze, which was hard to tell whether it was solemn or respectful, onto Lin Yan.

"Was that man doing it on purpose...?"

This was the only possibility Aokiji could think of!

He's not stupid.

They won't naively assume that everything is a given.

Recalling Lin Yan's repeated provocations of Akainu, injuring Kizaru and weakening the Navy's combat power, her words were full of contempt, until finally Akainu ordered the firing.

It seemed as if everything was under Lin Yan's control!

In other words, Lin Yan had long seen through Akainu's personality and knew that he would use the power of these warships sooner or later, which is why she took all the hatred upon herself from the very beginning!

"Kuzan, Lin has never been a talkative person."

Zephyr also laughed heartily, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Lin Yan.

This is the captain of the Seventeenth Division of the Whitebeard Pirates!

He is also the person I've decided to follow!

"Ahem... let's not make sarcastic remarks yet, this isn't over..."

Then, under the respectful and admiring gazes of Zephyr and Aokiji, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, revealing Lin Yan's appearance within.

Lin Yan's voice sounded somewhat distressed.

There was also a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Even the giant made of bones was in a broken state, with many cracks on its skeleton, as if it would collapse at any moment.

no way.

You have to understand that Lin Yan had previously withstood countless shells, numbering at least several thousand, if not tens of thousands.

Obito's Susanoo wasn't the strongest complete form either.

Without the help of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it's uncertain whether they could have blocked it.

Even so, it's still a miracle.

"Lin! Are you alright?!"

Seeing the bloodstains at the corner of Lin Yan's mouth, Zephyr was startled and quickly asked with concern.

"He won't die, but... he probably only has the strength for one more attack left."

Lin Yan waved her hand with a wry smile.

There was a price to pay for achieving this miraculous feat.

His Haki was almost completely exhausted, and the power of his Sharingan was almost gone. Just as Lin Yan said, he now only had enough strength left for a single strike.

That's definitely the strongest attack!

"Zephyr and Kuzan, move aside a bit."

Lin Yan took a deep breath, narrowed her eyes and looked at the navy, a hint of murderous intent already lurking in her clear eyes.

"Although I only have the strength for one more strike left,... it would be impolite not to retaliate!"

Previously, the reason was that there were simply too many of these warships.

Once Akainu gives the order.

Even she herself couldn't guarantee that she could intercept them all immediately, which is why Lin Yan set up this trap to withstand the first round of fire.

After all, if he miscalculates or misreacts, the one who will pay a heavy price is the Saiken Island behind him.

And those innocent civilians!

Lin Yan didn't consider herself a good person, but she still couldn't bear to watch so many lives slip away before her eyes.

Especially when you still have the ability to stop it.

But now...

In that moment when the navy was stunned by the miracle before their eyes.

This is your best chance to make a move!
