Wherever There Are People, There Is a World of Martial Arts

Seeing this scene before her, even Lin Yan couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her lips.

As mentioned before.

This is an isolated island.

But at the same time, it is also a very lively isolated island.

The reason for this statement is that the island in front of us is already densely packed with people, and the level of overcrowding is probably no less than that of a typical large city.

Almost without exception, these people were swordsmen!

Many people simply found a few planks of wood on the deserted island, made a makeshift house, and settled down there.

It's obvious.

They all came specifically for the final battle to come.

After all, it's a battle for the World's Greatest Swordsman...

As a swordsman, who wouldn't want to watch?

It's perfectly understandable that so many powerful swordsmen have gathered here.

Of course, if it were just that, it wouldn't really be considered lively.

There are only swordsmen.

But that can't sustain this bustling scene.

There's a saying that goes, "Where there's demand, there's supply; where there are people, there's a social dynamic."

Under Lin Yan's somewhat surprised gaze.

Besides the temporary shelters the swordsmen built for themselves, a sizable commercial street has actually formed on the beach of this deserted island.

And business is booming!

They sell food, daily necessities, clothing, and even building materials—to make matters worse.

Moreover, business is booming, and the reason is simple: there is a steady stream of swordsmen arriving here. Those who dare to come in person are certainly not weaklings.

Or to put it another way...

These people are not short of money.

Every single person is a potential customer!

He truly is a shrewd businessman...

Even Lin Yan Lin Yan n't help but chuckle at the sight before her. However, she didn't intend to meddle. She simply tightened her hood and then docked the small boat at the harbor.

That's right, Lin Yan has once again concealed her identity.

However, unlike the powerful abilities of the Faceless Appearance, Lin Yan was currently wearing only a very ordinary hood.

It's not that I'm afraid of enemies who might be lurking in the shadows.

As one of the participants in this decisive battle, if Lin Yan were to brazenly appear on the island... wouldn't that be incredibly annoying!

It's something that's easy to imagine.

Now, he is not only the fifth emperor of the sea, but also a powerful swordsman capable of fighting Mihawk!

How could these swordsmen, who were so passionate about swords, possibly pass up the opportunity to spar with him?

Who knows how many swordsmen are here!

Lin Yan said she wasn't in the mood to call them one by one, so it was better to solve the problem once and for all.

"Hmm... Anyway, let's go get something to eat first."

Standing alone on the harbor, Lin Yan looked around and quickly decided on her itinerary for the next few days.

As mentioned before.

Sailing on the high seas is actually quite a boring thing.

It's all just sea, nothing but sea!

Moreover, Lin Yan only took a small boat with her this time.

If it weren't for having portable storage, I probably wouldn't even be able to eat three meals a day... tsk.

Let's not talk about this anymore!

Having just arrived at my destination, the most important thing is, of course, to treat myself well.

Reasonable.

Thinking it over, Lin Yan lifted her foot, preparing to walk towards the nearest food stall.

However, just as Lin Yan took a step, she suddenly felt a gentle breeze coming from not far behind her.

"..."

Where did this deity come from!

Almost instantly, Lin Yan's eyes narrowed sharply, realizing that she had only noticed her after getting this close.

Despite his own laxity, achieving this level of performance demonstrates considerable skill.

This is no longer an ordinary enemy.

We must strike hard!

I just threw a regular straight punch!

"Hey... don't go that far! I thought we were already friends. Did you have to be so ruthless?"

"..."

Lin Yan reluctantly withdrew her fist, which had almost hit the man's face.

Looking at the Shanks man laughing heartily in front of him, his tone sounded somewhat helpless.

"What are you doing here... Never mind, it would be strange if you weren't here."

The person who arrived was none other than...

It was none other than Red-Haired Shanks, whom we hadn't seen for a while!

No wonder he only noticed the movement when it started; if it were Shanks, who is also one of the Four Emperors, it would make sense.

"Don't say that, it makes me sound like some homeless person from somewhere."

Shanks decisively ignored Lin Yan's somewhat disdainful tone, then casually put his arm around Lin Yan shoulder.

"Come on, come on! I've been waiting for you here for ages, let's go for a drink!"

Shanks smiled at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan simply rolled her eyes at this, but didn't refuse Shanks ' offer, after all, it was Four Emperors offering him a drink.

Why not drink it if it's free?

With this in mind, Lin Yan followed Shanks, and soon the two arrived at a nearby tavern.

It's actually called a tavern.

To put it bluntly, it's just a small space made of simple wooden planks and some tables and chairs; at best, it's a food stall.

However, there's plenty of alcohol and food.

"Ha! Come to think of it, I didn't expect you to arrive even before Mihawk!"

Shanks took a big gulp of ale, letting out a hearty shout, and then asked Lin Yan with great interest.

"Well, I have my own reasons."

Lin Yan shrugged noncommittally.

Although he is a fairly punctual person, he has no interest in arriving many days early to wait for others. The reason he arrived a few days early was simply to observe the situation.

"It's not so much that you can guess, but rather that those people can't hide anything from anyone at all."

Shanks seemed completely unsurprised by Lin Yan's answer.

The title of "Emperor of the Seas" is not just a figurehead.

For some reason, a cold smile suddenly appeared on Shanks' usually cheerful face.

"I think anyone with any real strength on this island should have spotted those people hiding in the shadows by now. Tsk tsk... their skills still aren't up to par."

Shanks ' smile was full of mockery.

For powerful individuals of their caliber, the opponent's actions were impossible to conceal. Even among the swordsmen gathered on this island, many had likely already noticed this.

As he spoke, Shanks refilled his glass and then asked Lin Yan with great interest.

"Tell me, what trouble is it this time?"
