Sparring with Shanks
Looking at Lin Yan, who was full of vigor and confidence, he felt a surge of pride.
For a fleeting moment...
Steel Bone Kong even seemed somewhat dazed.
In her mind's eye, she seemed to see a sea overlord rising up. Lin Yan was the first person to dare to say such things to Celestial Dragons!
Whether it's arrogance or genuine confidence, it's all part of the equation.
To dare to say such a thing.
That alone is enough to prove the man's charisma!
Therefore, in light of this, Steel Bone Kong finally nodded.
He would take the words back intact, but as for how the Celestial Dragons would react... well, that was beyond his control.
Lin Yan naturally had no objection to this.
Steel Bone Kong nodded at Lin Yan, then left without looking back.
This marks the complete end of this incident.
The result was the same as Lin Yan had predicted.
It was a complete failure for the World Government and the Navy!
Before long, only their own people and Shanks, who had been watching Lin Yan with great interest, remained on the port.
"Captain Lin, what you said earlier could potentially turn into a huge problem."
After a while.
Shanks looked at Lin Yan with some admiration and said.
As mentioned before.
Lin Yan is the first person to dare to speak so openly to Celestial Dragons!
The Celestial Dragons, who ruled the world for a full eight hundred years, possessed an unimaginable level of power and resources—a fact known to every powerful individual.
Shanks, as the Emperor of the Sea, felt this even more deeply.
Perhaps on the surface...
The Naxi Celestial Dragons, who arrogantly call themselves gods, are nothing but a bunch of good-for-nothings.
But anyone who truly believes that the World Government, which has ruled the world for eight hundred years, is actually weak and incompetent... will surely meet a terrible end!
The Celestial Dragons hold a great secret.
Its foundation is so strong that even a sea emperor like Whitebeard wouldn't easily provoke it.
Shanks couldn't believe Lin Yan hadn't thought of that!
That's precisely why Shanks was so impressed by Lin Yan's previous actions.
Fearless.
These are the basic qualities of becoming a strong person!
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of trouble, especially the kind of trouble that makes me unhappy."
Seeing the somewhat admiring look in Shanks' eyes, Lin Yan smiled and curled the corners of her lips.
Unlike everyone else in this world.
Lin Yan was completely unafraid of the so-called World Nobles.
Because they despise the arrogance of those who call themselves gods, and because they are confident in their own power!
As he said.
One day, those high and mighty Celestial Dragons will be brought down from their pedestals and bear the wrath that the world has accumulated over the past eight hundred years!
And we live in this chaotic era.
Lin Yan believed that day was not far off.
"Speaking of which, where is your pirate crew?"
Slowly suppressing her mocking gaze, Lin Yan tilted her head and turned to Shanks to ask.
After all, no matter what.
The Red-Haired Pirates are also one of the Four Emperors' crews.
Their strength is self-evident.
Isn't it a bit strange that most of the time we only see Captain Shanks running around?
"Haha! We're all travel enthusiasts, right? Even I just happened to be passing by, so I bet the others are traveling the world too, right?"
In response to Lin Yan's questioning.
Shanks flashed a hearty smile.
As one of the Four Emperors, Shanks ' territory is quite fragmented, and he himself is the kind of person who loves to travel and have parties.
As the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, he is someone who lives a fulfilling life, always full of energy and excitement.
This fragmented territory also allows Shanks to better enjoy poetry and distant places, in addition to protecting those under his protection.
As mentioned before.
The man before them was the most unique of the four Sea Emperors.
It is also the most mysterious one.
"Never mind... It was my mistake to ask you such a serious question."
Seeing Shanks's cheerful smile, Lin Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes and decided not to ask any more questions.
As she spoke, Lin Yan waved her hand dismissively at Shanks.
"Alright, the matter is now resolved. It's about time you headed home, isn't it?"
Although Shanks ' specific purpose is unknown.
However, Shanks has undoubtedly been quite successful in his role as a mediator between the various factions.
"Well, that was originally the plan~"
Shanks didn't seem to care about Lin Yan's disdain, and simply put on a hearty smile again.
Then, under Lin Yan's somewhat surprised gaze, Shanks suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.
"But now, I think I don't want to leave." (33novel. com)
Shanks said this, narrowing his eyes.
Then, under Lin Yan's intrigued gaze, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his entire body.
It's obvious.
This is a challenge!
Shanks's eyes were filled with fighting spirit as he looked at Lin Yan.
Shanks only had a vague impression of the Seventeenth Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and was quite interested in the various major events caused by Lin Yan.
But now that I've met him in person...
Especially Lin Yan's previous declaration to the Celestial Dragons.
It has completely piqued Shanks' interest!
Consequently, he naturally felt a bit itchy to fight, considering it had been a long time since he had last made a move.
"Seriously?"
However, when faced with Shanks's fierce fighting spirit, Lin Yan merely glanced at his severed arm with a half-smile.
"In your current state, you probably can't unleash your full potential, right?"
Lin Yan smiled and shrugged.
For some special reason, Shanks staked one of his arms on the East Blue, entrusting his hopes and the will of the Straw Hat to a certain boy.
Even the emperor of the seas would naturally lose strength if he lost an arm.
After Shanks lost his arm.
Even Dracule Mihawk lost interest in a one-on-one fight with him.
"This won't do!"
However, Shanks only revealed a wild smile on his face in response to Lin Yan's rather tactful rejection.
"How could a real man be held back by such a small difficulty!"
As he spoke, Shanks ' aura grew even more imposing.
"Besides, if you reject me over something so trivial, even I would be very bothered!"
"..."
Seeing that Shanks didn't seem to be joking, Lin Yan's eyes narrowed again.
After a long pause, he finally nodded slightly.
"In that case, you go first."
