Give Me Some Face

Steel Bone Kong's face was somewhat gloomy.

As a strategist.

From the moment he saw the two of them appear, Steel Bone Kong knew that today's events were truly troublesome.

Gild Tesoro, this is still his home turf.

The family members led by Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Two women whose strength is unknown, but who appear to be at least Admiral- level in combat.

And the most terrifying of all, Lin Yan!

broken.

We're surrounded!

After all, to be fair, Lin Yan alone is troublesome enough, let alone now that she has so many helpers.

"Walk!"

Therefore, in view of this, Steel Bone Kong did not hesitate to retreat.

But how could Gild Tesoro let them have their way?

Having received a huge favor from Lin Yan and successfully rescued his beloved, Gild Tesoro is now preoccupied with how to repay Lin Yan.

I offended Captain Lin.

Want to leave?

Did they ask for my opinion?!

"Golden Divine Punishment!!!"

Almost without hesitation, seeing that Steel Bone Kong was about to escape with his men, Gild Tesoro immediately pulled out his last trump card.

The Awakening power of the Gold-Gold Fruit!

In this state, Gild Tesoro can freely control all the gold in the entire Gran Tesoro, with an incredibly wide range of abilities. He can even attach the gold to his body and transform into a giant.

As mentioned before.

This is his home turf Gild Tesoro!

"Tsk! What a troublesome fellow!"

Seeing that Gild Tesoro had managed to mobilize all the gold in the entire Gran Tesoro, even Steel Bone Kong couldn't help but snort angrily.

"Garp! Take your men and leave! I'm holding them off here!"

In a flash, Steel Bone Kong made a decision.

"Fleet Admiral, you..."

Garp's expression changed, and he was about to object, but Steel Bone Kong had already turned around and rushed forward.

The meaning is quite clear.

Someone has to make a sacrifice!

Otherwise, putting aside Lin Yan, Donquixote Doflamingo and the Gild Tesoro are no pushovers!

"..."

Garp had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead the others in a silent retreat.

With Steel Bone Kong covering their retreat, most of the Marines and World Government personnel managed to escape back to their ships and, without hesitation, immediately withdrew under Garp's orders.

The sacrifice of our comrades must not be in vain!

Lin Yan, on the other hand, showed no intention of giving chase. She simply watched with interest as Steel Bone Kong and Gild Tesoro's Golden Giant fought back and forth.

He was, after all, a former Fleet Admiral.

Steel Bone Kong was also extremely strong. After exchanging several punches with Gild Tesoro, he landed back on the ground.

nature.

Lin Yan, the two girls, and Donquixote Doflamingo leading his many subordinates immediately surrounded Steel Bone Kong.

"..."

Steel Bone Kong silent for a moment, then gave a bitter laugh.

"You've won this time."

However, Lin Yan didn't pay attention to this, and just touched her chin and looked at Steel Bone Kong.

"Is it worth it? You should know that if you stay, you'll miss your chance, right?"

Lin Yan asked with a light laugh.

"Nature."

Steel Bone Kong didn't deny it and readily nodded.

"Those who are determined to fight will die for their cause. As a member of the navy, it is my duty to bring them back."

"... Even if I die here?"

"What's the big deal about dying when someone's already halfway to the grave?"

Steel Bone Kong laughed heartily.

His gaze toward Lin Yan was filled with admiration.

"I have to admit, I misjudged you before. Someone like you is simply not someone I can afford to be an enemy of."

Just like Garp before.

Steel Bone Kong first glanced at Lin Yan with admiration, then shook his head regretfully.

"What a pity, not the Navy."

Lin Yan then laughed as well.

Seeing Steel Bone Kong's resolute expression, completely unconcerned about the impending death, Lin Yan silently picked up the Holy Sword in her hand.

And then, in the very next second...

BOOM!

A figure suddenly landed in front of the crowd from mid-air.

This is a muscular man with fiery red hair.

With a bright and cheerful smile on his face, he looked like an approachable older brother next door.

However, he had a noticeable scar over his eye.

And one of his arms has also disappeared.

"Everyone, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"

"..."

Even Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the man in front of her.

The Four Emperors.

Red-Haired Shanks!

Unexpectedly, the battle here has even attracted him.

He pondered for a moment.

Lin Yan loosened her right hand, and the Holy Sword vanished without a trace.

Lin Yan looked thoughtfully at Shanks, who had a cheerful smile on his face.

What brings you here?

The atmosphere relaxed somewhat.

Shanks chuckled.

"I just happened to be passing by! And then I saw you two fighting, so I came over to see what was going on. Sure enough, only you could cause such a commotion."

Shanks looked at Lin Yan and smiled, acting as if they were old friends.

Of course, Lin Yan just pursed her lips in response.

I don't believe you for a second.

He knew Shanks to some extent.

Just passing by?

You're kidding me!

But in the end, Lin Yan didn't really care. Anyway, Shanks had already appeared here.

"So what are you doing here?"

So Lin Yan asked directly.

Shanks, without any intention of beating around the bush, immediately flashed a bright smile upon hearing Lin Yan's question.

"Captain Lin, no offense, but you're being watched by a lot of people right now. I saw Kaido and Charlotte Linlin leave from here earlier, so..."

As he spoke, Shanks paused slightly.

"Why don't we call a ceasefire? We've already lost quite a few people here today, haven't we?"

"Just do me a favor!"

"..."

Although she already knew Shanks was there to say these words, Lin Yan still couldn't help but smile a little when she saw the man in front of her.

As expected of you!

You're Devil Fruit User, right?

Just like Jack's billion-dollar bounty and nine-hundred-million-dollar defense, the idea that Shanks always says "Give me some face" is quickly becoming a meme.

Ironically, not many people dare to refuse!

After all, the man before them was one of the emperors of the sea.

Anyone with a powerful influence has to give him some face, no matter how much.

The same applies to the other Four Emperors families.

but...

Seeing Shanks' cheerful expression, Lin Yan suddenly smiled mischievously.

Why should I give you face?

Lin Yan began to speak slowly.

"Kaido and Charlotte Linlin didn't get anything good from me either, so I'm sure you're in the same boat. As for Steel Bone Kong..."

"Didn't you notice how many people are around me?"
