Battle Eve: Vice Admiral Garp

No matter the world or the era, the strong always have a voice!

This is an eternal and unchanging truth.

In Lin Yan's view, Gild Tesoro's previous loss was simply due to his weakness; setting aside personal feelings, that was the only reason.

And now, Gild Tesoro.

They might not be quite capable of rebelling against the Celestial Dragons.

But to fabricate something from a mere theater owner...

Therefore, from the very beginning, Lin Yan never considered whether Gild Tesoro could succeed.

More than that, he was concerned about the battle that was about to begin.

"Judging by the time, those guys should be coming to cause trouble around the same time, right?"

Lin Yan looked at the deserted street in front of her and couldn't help but smile.

Because of the asylum order previously issued by Gild Tesoro.

In addition, a Celestial Dragons in this city.

Today, only the magnificent streets and various giant buildings remain of the Gran Tesoro; the pedestrians have completely disappeared.

Especially those pirates who come here for leisure.

There was no need for Gild Tesoro to inform them; they only wished their parents had given them two more legs so they could run faster than anyone else.

It's incredibly realistic.

Therefore, in light of this, we can say that we are fighting a lone battle in the literal sense.

However, Lin Yan wasn't afraid at all.

After the last Buster Call, even the World Government should understand that sending a large number of weaklings is a completely futile effort.

They wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder; they might even leak the information.

Otherwise.

It's highly likely that, just like last time Whitebeard Pirates will join the battle.

And so it goes.

The Five Elders ' next move is pretty much predictable.

They dispatched a small number of extremely powerful individuals to carry out a so-called decapitation operation!

As expected.

This time, we'll be facing some of the world's most powerful individuals!

Even Lin Yan felt her blood boil slightly at this, and her smile even turned wild.

"..."

Ain, who was standing next to Lin Yan, naturally noticed Lin Yan's expression and could only sigh helplessly.

"Hopefully it will be resolved smoothly..."

So, there's not much to say about what happened after that.

Because the entire Gran Tesoro was deserted, with only a few of Gild Tesoro's men maintaining the city's basic operations.

Lin Yan and the three girls decided to conserve their energy.

And just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye.

"Haven't Gild Tesoro and Donquixote Doflamingo returned yet?"

That day, Lin Yan sat in her luxurious suite in Gran Tesoro as usual and asked Gild Tesoro's subordinates a question.

Incidentally, this subordinate is the girl I met once before, who can control luck to some extent.

There is no news yet.

The girl cautiously shook her head.

Leaving Donquixote Doflamingo aside for now, even their boss, the Gild Tesoro, has mysteriously disappeared recently.

No one dared to say or ask anything.

They could only treat Lin Yan and her group with utmost care, like royalty.

After all, Lin Yan's strength is undeniable. With the Gild Tesoro absent, they wouldn't dare to provoke her even if they had ten times the courage.

He didn't pay any attention to the girl's cautious attitude.

Lin Yan shook her head, about to say something, when suddenly the door was pushed open.

"... Didn't I tell you not to bother me at this time?!"

Before Lin Yan could react, the girl's expression suddenly turned angry, and she immediately turned to the servant who had pushed open the door and shouted.

"No, no, sir... Several naval warships have suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Gran Tesoro!"

Seeing his superior's anger, the servant hurriedly and haphazardly reported.

"What did you say?! How could it be so fast?!"

Upon hearing this, the girl's expression immediately turned to surprise, and she quickly looked at Lin Yan with a pleading look in her eyes.

It's obvious.

With Gild Tesoro absent, it would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock for these people to try and fight against the Navy.

What we can rely on now.

That only applies to the person standing before me.

Lin Yan didn't hesitate at all. Upon hearing this, she quickly stood up from her chair, a hint of fighting spirit appearing in her eyes.

"Looks like we can't wait any longer... Go and call Boa Hancock and the others. I'll go out and see who's here this time."

Lin Yan said this.

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and walked towards the door.

No one objected; they all nodded and followed Lin Yan's steps, as if Lin Yan were the one in control of this Gran Tesoro.

Before long, everyone left, some telling others to make preparations.

Lin Yan arrived at the port of this Gran Tesoro alone.

It was 2 PM.

The sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky, and the wide harbor reflected the calm sea.

However, several warships had already appeared on the sea not far away.

It was quite a killjoy...

Lin Yan stood calmly on the harbor, showing no intention of launching an attack. She simply stood there patiently waiting.

Even he was somewhat curious about what kind of lineup the Five Elders would send to deal with him this time.

"..."

Lin Yan didn't have to wait long. Soon, several warships stopped a few hundred meters away from Gran Tesoro.

Then came a loud bang.

A figure suddenly jumped out of the warship.

Relying on his incredible physical abilities and powerful Armament Haki, this person actually leaped across a distance of several hundred meters in a single bound.

It landed steadily in front of Lin Yan.

Lin Yan narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the towering man before her with great interest.

The visitor was none other than...

It was Vice Admiral Garp, then Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral!

It is said that he had refused several orders to be promoted to Admiral from a very early time, and claimed that as long as he had enough power to exercise justice, he would not care about anything else.

He is also a top-tier user of Armament Haki.

Unlike Akainu, who spouts righteousness and morality but is actually just a despicable and shameless scoundrel.

Garp before my eyes.

It could be said that they represented the Navy's justice to some extent!

He was cheerful and bold, a man who could almost rival Whitebeard!

Garp landed on the port, creating a large crater in the ground, and looked up at Lin Yan, who was standing opposite him with her arms crossed.

A moment later, a hearty smile appeared on his face.

Should I say "Long time no see" at this point?

As he spoke, Garp reached into his pocket, took out a senbei (rice cracker) that he always carried with him wherever he went, and smiled at Lin Yan.

"Want some?"
