The Whitebeard Pirates Arrive

"Interesting. I'd really like to meet this man named Lin!"

Izo stroked his chin, then murmured, "Ruen, what do you all think of this man?"

Ruen, vice-captain of the Sixteenth Division.

He was one of Izo's most trusted subordinates.

"If he could wipe out the Battleaxe Pirates by himself overnight, then he must be quite capable."

After thinking for a moment, Ruen instinctively voiced his opinion.

However, at that moment, Ruen paused slightly.

He caught the implication in Izo's words. "Captain, you mean..."

"If possible, I want to meet him and trade a few blows with him!"

Izo's eyes gleamed brightly.

Private fighting was forbidden within the Whitebeard Pirates.

After going so long without a battle, Izo's hands had been itching for a fight.

Now that he had finally encountered such an interesting opponent, how could he possibly let him slip away?

At once.

He ordered his men to investigate this Lin's whereabouts in town.

After half a day of inquiries.

Sure enough.

News of Lin reached Izo's ears.

There was a fisherman on the mountain behind the town.

According to the people passing through.

His appearance was identical to that of the Lin who had saved their town.

At present.

He had been fishing on the back mountain for an entire year.

During that time, he would occasionally come down the mountain to buy supplies!

At first, many people had wondered.

Had this man gone mad from fishing?

Who would spend an entire year sitting there doing nothing?

Until recently.

When pirates raided the town.

And Lin single-handedly annihilated the Battleaxe Pirates.

Everyone in the town was stunned.

Only then did they realize just how extraordinary this young man was.

From then on.

The residents held even greater awe and admiration for the mountain behind the town!

"The back mountain?"

Izo's eyes lit up upon hearing that.

He led everyone from the Sixteenth Division toward the back mountain of the archipelago.

Back mountain.

Lin Yan fished while holding his Little Meimei, watching it with great interest.

From time to time, he let out a quiet chuckle.

He looked just like someone hiding under the covers, turning off the lights, lowering the volume, raising the brightness to the max, silently opening a browser, and skillfully entering that string of mysterious code!

Just then.

The system suddenly spoke.

"Ding! Dear host, a new mission has been issued!"

"Mission Two: Within ten days, defeat three enemies with bounties of 300 million!"

"Mission reward: 20 bait!"

Hearing the system's notification.

Lin Yan shifted his gaze away from Little Meimei. "Another mission?"

To be honest.

The 10 bait he had received from wiping out the Battleaxe Pirates earlier was nowhere near enough for Lin Yan!

After the beginner's gift pack was gone.

The amount of bait he received dropped sharply.

The already limited bait had instantly become a priceless treasure.

He had to.

Obtain more bait as quickly as possible.

Of course, defeating enemies with bounties of 300 million wasn't much of a challenge for Lin Yan.

This wasn't arrogance.

It was simply because people at the 300 million level were no longer on the same tier as him.

But...

That was precisely the problem.

Where was he supposed to find powerful people with bounties over 300 million?

He wasn't afraid of opponents worth 300 million. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to find any.

And missions all had time limits.

Ten days.

That was a little tight!

Just as Lin Yan was worrying over this.

A group of people.

Entered his field of vision.

Izo looked around.

Then he quickly found Lin Yan on the back mountain.

A young man, fishing.

Wasn't that exactly the Lin the residents had described?

Izo led his men toward Lin Yan.

"Excuse me... do you know someone named Lin?"

Although he had guessed Lin Yan's identity, Izo still asked first out of courtesy.

"Lin?"

Lin Yan paused.

Then he quickly recalled the identity he had revealed to the villagers some time ago.

Were these people looking for him?

If he had any recent grudge with anyone.

It could only be with the Battleaxe Pirates.

Lin Yan remained calm. "You're from the Battleaxe Pirates, aren't you?"

The moment those words left his mouth.

Izo and the vice-captain exchanged glances, unable to react at first.

"We're from the Battleaxe Pirates? What do you mean by that?"

Izo asked in confusion after a second.

"Enough pretending!"

"If you're here for revenge, then come at me. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Lin Yan was already troubled enough over where to find powerful enemies with bounties exceeding 300 million.

Because of that.

He had no interest in the "Battleaxe Pirates remnants" before him.

Weren't they here for revenge?

Then let's make this quick!

Lin Yan beckoned at them, signaling that if they wanted to fight, they could come at him.
