A Man's Measure

"..."

Shanks began to doubt whether the swordsmanship he had practiced before was genuine.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Looking at the vacuum blade formed solely by the slash, Shanks had reason to believe that even if the person standing here was his best friend World's Greatest Swordsman.

They'll be so shocked they won't be able to speak, right?

For swordsmen in this world.

The skills Lin Yan displayed were simply unbelievable!

Anyone who walks the path of kendo, regardless of who they are, would likely be left in awe upon witnessing such astonishing skill.

With an expression as if New World world had been opened to him, Shanks stared blankly at his fingers for a long while before finally snapping out of his daze.

A wry smile involuntarily appeared on the man's face.

This is truly a crushing defeat...

"So, how exactly did they do it?"

When Shanks came to his senses, all he could do when he looked at Lin Yan was smile wryly.

Even if the principle is understood.

However, Shanks also knew very well that he probably couldn't recreate it.

Leaving aside how absurd it is to completely control one's own body, even if it were possible, reaching the level of doing whatever one wants like Lin Yan is something that ordinary people simply cannot achieve.

Shanks admitted his inferiority in this regard.

This is a divine skill that completely surpasses human limits!

Shanks responded to this with equanimity, accepting whatever came his way. After a brief moment of shock, his face returned to its usual simple curiosity.

With such a mindset, it's no wonder he was one of the four emperors of the sea.

"Persistent training, and a sudden realization, perhaps."

Lin Yan, of course, wouldn't reveal anything about the Infinite Martial Arts; she simply waved her hand dismissively.

"What a monster."

Shanks rolled his eyes and muttered a complaint, but quickly forgot about it, flashing a hearty smile and raising his arm.

"Let's have a feast! Today is a memorable day!"

As mentioned before.

What Shanks loves most is adventure and distant places, and banquets are naturally indispensable for him.

This man is known as Shanks.

Freedom is found in both body and soul.

"You're still the same as ever, trying to break up a fight while also trying to freeload off the banquet? You're really something else."

Lin Yan glanced at Shanks with some disdain and said.

The latter, of course, didn't care at all.

At this point, the atmosphere had completely relaxed.

The biggest crisis in Gran Tesoro has been resolved, and the duel between Shanks and Lin Yan has come to an end. Everyone couldn't help but show a relaxed smile on their faces.

The ensuing banquet, of course, arrived as scheduled.

Although the entire Gran Tesoro was almost deserted due to Gild Tesoro's previous announcement, in reality, only these people were attending the banquet.

But as is widely known...

The liveliness of a banquet has never really been related to the number of people.

It's more accurate to say it's just Shanks alone.

That's enough to get the atmosphere going.

"Lord Lin Yan, I am deeply grateful!"

Gild Tesoro raised his glass to Lin Yan, a broad smile on his face.

Compared to his previous zombie-like state, he is now completely alive, with a genuine smile on his face that he hasn't seen in a long time.

Although until now.

Gild Tesoro had no idea how Lin Yan had managed to do such an outrageous thing, but no matter what, the man in front of him was his great benefactor.

Seeing the genuine smile on Gild Tesoro's face, Lin Yan didn't refuse and also smiled and raised her glass.

"How is the situation?"

"That couldn't be better! I've already placed her in a safe place, and I confirmed that when I got back."

Gild Tesoro laughed heartily.

His face was full of anticipation for the future.

After downing the wine in his glass in one gulp, Gild Tesoro pondered for a moment, then suddenly cast an apologetic glance at Lin Yan.

"Lady Lin Yan, I may not be able to join your pirate crew anytime soon, after all, Stella's situation..."

Gild Tesoro spoke hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Having finally found his beloved again, he absolutely couldn't let go. Gild Tesoro couldn't imagine what he would become if he lost her again. (33novel. com)

Therefore, his most important task now is to find an absolutely safe place for his beloved.

Lin Yan simply smiled and nodded in response.

There was no surprise on his face.

"Let's fulfill our previous promise first. As for safety, we might as well go and check on the Whitebeard Pirates."

"The Whitebeard Pirates... I see!"

Gild Tesoro heard this.

His eyes immediately lit up.

Yes!

How could he forget this? The Lin Yan in front of him was the Seventeenth Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, a member of that sea tyrant!

If that's the case, then there is no safer place in the world.

Gild Tesoro's eyes showed some excitement.

However, seeing the man's excited eyes, Lin Yan poured cold water on him.

"Don't get too excited yet. If you really want to join, you need someone's approval."

Lin Yan said to Gild Tesoro.

After the Blackbeard incident, Whitebeard has become much more cautious. Newcomers who want to join the Whitebeard Pirates must gain the approval of everyone.

Although Gild Tesoro now seems to have reformed.

But don't forget, he used to be a villain.

As mentioned before.

Once a person has chosen their path, they've chosen it; once a mistake has been made, it's made. For someone like Gild Tesoro, gaining the approval of the entire Whitebeard Pirates was no easy feat.

If there isn't enough air.

Whitebeard would absolutely never agree to this!

"I understand!"

However, after hearing Lin Yan's merciless words, Gild Tesoro showed no disappointment whatsoever; instead, he nodded very seriously.

Everyone must pay the price for their actions!

Even Gild Tesoro was no exception!

In order to gain the approval of the Whitebeard Pirates members and Lin Yan in front of him, Gild Tesoro has already made up his mind to go all out and confront his past.

Seeing this, Lin Yan nodded slightly.

What should a man's level of awareness be?

Different people may have different opinions.

But in Lin Yan's view, when a man chooses to face his tragic past, genuinely takes responsibility for his actions, and is prepared to pay a high price, such a person is worthy of redemption!

This is precisely where a man's magnanimity lies.

A person who cannot even save themselves is not entitled to salvation.

Seeing Gild Tesoro's extremely determined gaze, Lin Yan could be said to have somewhat accepted the man before her.

Thinking about it, Lin Yan raised the wine glass in her hand.

I look forward to the day when we become companions.
