Testing Without Results

A group of people rushed out, practically scrambling to get out first.

However, by the time they realized what was happening and gave chase, they could no longer see a single person.

Not to mention that the two of them were far more powerful than them.

Even for two ordinary people, they should have been far away by now, within ten minutes.

Regardless of how many swordsmen were heartbroken because of missed opportunities, Lin Yan had already ended her chat with Shanks and started looking for a place to stay.

That's right... looking for a place to stay.

This was truly the first time a young woman had ever been married.

After all, as mentioned before, this place was just an insignificant isolated island.

That's why so many people gathered.

It was entirely because of his duel with Dracule Mihawk.

The battle for the World's Greatest Swordsman!

Of course, there are no basic infrastructure or hotels; otherwise, why would so many powerful swordsmen live in drafty houses?

It's likely that Dracule Mihawk's original intention in choosing this location.

They planned to wait until the time was right for both of them to appear and have a friendly spar, then go their separate ways after the match, so they didn't consider these things at all.

Moreover, given their combined strength, the destructive power they would have in a real fight would be far too astonishing, making it unwise to choose a populated area.

Logically and emotionally, you really can't blame Dracule Mihawk.

He probably didn't expect to arrive a few days early.

Therefore, in view of this.

Lin Yan could only happily attribute this debt to the World Government, preparing to settle things with the Celestial Dragons next time she saw them.

Because there are places selling materials in the market itself.

Building the house was quite simple; it didn't take much effort, and another very basic wooden house appeared on the deserted island.

Comfort, of course, is nonexistent.

A short rest should be enough.

Fortunately, Lin Yan wasn't a very picky person, so she didn't have any psychological barriers to making do.

Moreover, there are more important things to solve right now.

"A decoy, huh... let's test the waters a little first."

Lin Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.

He released his senses and took a look at the isolated island beneath his feet.

As Shanks said before.

With just a casual glance, one could notice several very strange auras in the crowd.

These people are neither swordsmen nor merchants; they are simply pretending to live here like everyone else, and their strength varies greatly.

Moreover, even under Lin Yan's incredibly powerful Observation Haki, she could notice that whenever these strange fellows brushed past each other, they would always exchange subtle glances.

It might be difficult for ordinary people to notice.

But when faced with someone like myself who is proficient in Observation Haki...

Tsk tsk~

Unsurprisingly, these people are the vanguard sent by the World Government.

They probably don't know much, and I'd even venture to guess that they know absolutely nothing.

However, we still need to test the waters a bit to find out the truth.

As she was thinking, Lin Yan's figure suddenly flashed strangely and then disappeared completely.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

An inconspicuous corner on a deserted island.

"Captain, what exactly are we supposed to investigate? Why were we sent here but not given any mission?"

After several days of fruitless work, one of the agents finally couldn't help but ask his captain.

Since he started working, he had never encountered such a bizarre situation.

Even if it's a classified mission.

Shouldn't I at least provide some explanation?

What's the point of putting your group here?

"Shut up! Can't you stand by if you don't have a mission?!"

Clearly, this wasn't the first time they'd heard this question, and the captain's response sounded quite impatient.

In fact, he's going crazy right now.

Although he is an elite member of the World Government, his treatment and authority are completely different from these newbies.

But this time... damn it, I really don't know what this is!

The captain couldn't help but mutter to himself.

God knows what they're up to this time. Not to mention yourself, even your boss's boss probably doesn't know much.

The only possibility is related to this competition for the World's Greatest Swordsman.

The above is aimed at that newly crowned fifth Emperor of the Sea!

As for why, that's simply beyond the comprehension of small fry like them...

Thinking about this...

The captain composed himself and reprimanded the team members who were asking so many questions.

"Alright, stop thinking about all that nonsense. Even if you found out, what can you do? Just do your job properly. If you spot that person, report it to your superiors immediately."

The captain spoke with some impatience.

Then, very quickly, he realized something was wrong.

What's the answer?

Then, the next second, the captain heard a lazy voice coming from behind him.

Are you looking for me?

"What?!"

He instantly realized something was wrong, but just as he turned his head, a strange eye flashing with a scarlet light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He then promptly lost consciousness.

"Tsk tsk~ Surprisingly useful."

Seeing the people around her lying unconscious on the ground, Lin Yan clicked her tongue in satisfaction, then slowly retracted her Sharingan.

Lin Yan just used Genjutsu on these people.

Although it's just a very basic Genjutsu, it's enough to deal with these small fry.

And it's good enough to use.

Looking at the captain who was rolling his eyes and unconscious, Lin Yan smiled slightly and then asked directly.

Who are you?

"..."

Then, about half an hour later, Lin Yan threw him back with a look of disgust.

This is already my third set of goals for today.

The result was exactly the same.

These people are indeed agents of the World Government.

But they know almost nothing.

Even the leaders only knew that they were supposed to meet someone at a specific time, and that was all they had.

"..."

Why all the secrecy?

After several such attempts yielded the same result, it was obvious that this was nothing more than a futile test, so Lin Yan gave up and gave up.

It seems that everything will only be clear after I start my duel with Dracule Mihawk.

But speaking of that thing we need to meet up with...

Lin Yan stroked her chin and pondered.

Perhaps thinking of something interesting, Lin Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat enigmatic smile.

"This is really interesting... I hope it won't disappoint me."
