The Holy Grail of the Underworld.

One of the thirteen Longinus from the world of High School DxD.

A set of three, the Holy Grail, said to have been used at the Last Supper, filled with the blood of the One God.

One of the top-tier artifacts!

Its ability is naturally a bug among bugs!

By possessing this Holy Grail, one can freely overturn the laws of life; the holder will gain the power to reverse or distort life at will.

For example, granting immortality.

For example, creating the legendary Dragon Species!

For example, resurrection!

Just thinking about it makes Lin Yan's mouth water!

Most importantly... Whitebeard is saved!

As long as the Holy Grail of the Underworld exists, Whitebeard's illness is absolutely no big deal, right?

They were facing the Holy Grail, which could even resurrect the dead or grant immortality.

No problem, sit down!

Of course, there are problems too...

Because it is an artifact from another world, the Holy Grail of the Underworld requires magic, but Lin Yan possesses some kind of magical power.

Therefore, the system made thoughtful modifications to address this situation.

You don't need magic.

But... it costs money.

That's right, it costs money!

To be precise, in order for Lin Yan, who has no magic, to use the power of the Holy Grail, a certain amount of treasure needs to be sacrificed to the Holy Grail.

The number of treasures required varies depending on the power that needs to be wielded.

Then the Holy Grail can unleash its full power.

After reading the instructions, Lin Yan's expression instantly became somewhat strange.

Can the Holy Grail of the Underworld save lives?

sure.

But it costs money...

Uh, medical treatment costs money?

Well... that's actually quite reasonable.

Holding the three Holy Grail in her hands, Lin Yan was momentarily at a loss for words.

You say his statement is unreasonable?

The Holy Grail has appeared? What a load of rubbish!

But you could say he's reasonable...

It's quite realistic that medical treatment and saving lives cost money...

"Well, never mind. It's a bit strange, but it still achieved its purpose."

After a long pause, Lin Yan shook her head and put the Holy Grail back into the system's storage.

After all, it was Whitebeard's life at stake.

Its value cannot be measured by mere treasure!

Lin Yan had no doubt that if she went out now and told the squad leaders that Whitebeard could be cured as long as she paid money, she would be able to cure him.

They probably have the guts to even try and rob Celestial Dragons!

Not only does it exist, but it's also very large!

Despite its many flaws, Whitebeard is saved no matter what!

Thinking of this, Lin Yan's expression instantly relaxed. She stretched and then finally pushed open the door that she hadn't opened for over a year.

"Lin! You're finally out!"

So, should we say it was expected or something else...?

Outside the door, a large crowd had already gathered.

no way.

After all, Lin Yan said when she went in that she would spend a year finding a way to cure Whitebeard, and today marks the end of that year, so of course everyone came.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were eagerly anticipating it.

"Lin, how... how is it?"

Upon seeing Lin Yan emerge, everyone was overjoyed, but an uneasy expression also appeared on their faces, especially the squad leaders.

Marco asked even more cautiously.

Well, I guess there is a way.

Lin Yan smiled and nodded, then looked at the crowd that was about to cheer and raised her hand to interrupt them.

"However, there will be some price to pay. Anyway, take me to see Whitebeard first."

"Come with me!"

The squad leaders were overjoyed and eagerly began to lead the way for Lin Yan.

cost?

Saving Pops is no big deal!

Before long, the group escorted Lin Yan to the Whitebeard's bedroom.

At this moment, Whitebeard was resting with his eyes closed.

No one dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the Whitebeard who was resting.

Unbelievable.

These are people who are so careful that they are afraid of making the slightest sound when they walk.

It turned out to be the division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates that shook the seas.

Looking at the Whitebeard who had fallen into a deep sleep, Lin Yan sighed.

"It seems things aren't going well..."

Compared to their meeting a year ago, Whitebeard's aura was much weaker now, and he exuded the air of a dying man.

Fortunately, there's a way...

Lin Yan composed herself, took out the Holy Grail of the Underworld, and gestured towards the Whitebeard.

This is to determine the cost of saving Whitebeard.

Even between different lives, the weight is different.

The effort required to revive an ant is naturally vastly different from that required to revive a person.

This is especially true for extremely powerful emperors like Whitebeard.

Buzz----!

Under Lin Yan's control, the three Holy Grail emitted a gentle light. Seeing this miraculous scene, the squad leaders stared in astonishment.

Deep down, she also felt a greater sense of hope for Lin Yan.

A moment later, Lin Yan retrieved the Holy Grail.

However, the expression on his face seemed somewhat solemn.

"Marco, where is the treasure vault? Take me there."

Lin Yan turned her head to look at Marco, and paused slightly when she saw his somewhat puzzled expression.

"I have a plan, but first, let's confirm: if rescuing him requires the entire treasure accumulated by the Whitebeard Pirates over the years... are you willing?"

"Of course, no problem!"

Marco answered without hesitation.

"We'd be willing to beggars, let alone possess all the treasure, just to save our Pops!"

The other squad leaders nodded in agreement.

Everyone is the same.

They wouldn't hesitate to pay any price to save Whitebeard!

"That's good. Take me there."

Although she had known this would be the outcome, seeing the determined expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Yan couldn't help but smile warmly.

Perhaps this is what bonds are all about!

I will spare no effort to save my beloved!

Marco smiled and nodded, then immediately began leading the way for Lin Yan with the others.

No one doubted Lin Yan's words.

Because this man in front of me has brought about so many miracles.

Although this matter was somewhat unbelievable even to them, as long as Lin Yan spoke up, there would definitely be no problem!

Everyone present thought the same thing, without prior agreement.

The journey was uneventful, and in just over ten minutes, the squad leaders and Lin Yan fought their way to the Whitebeard Pirates ' treasure vault.

As expected, the treasure here is almost impossible to count.

Beli!

Treasure!

Devil Fruit!

Things that would be fought over for as soon as they appeared in the outside world are now piled up like trash in front of you—several mountains of gold and silver!

This is the true strength of the Whitebeard Pirates of the Four Emperors!

But seeing this scene, Lin Yan's face darkened.

"Isn't that enough..."
