"Oh?"

Izo realized that Lin Yan misunderstood them.

He originally planned to explain.

But soon.

Izo thought of Lin Yan's strength.

A smile hung at the corner of his mouth.

The scene suddenly turned into a "crooked-mouth dragon king" look.

"Since you've already said so, then let me test your strength!"

Izo didn't clear up this misunderstanding either.

He had only two purposes in coming to find Lin Yan.

First.

To test Lin Yan's strength.

Second.

If Lin Yan was truly as strong as imagined, his Sixteenth Division wouldn't mind extending an invitation for him to join the Whitebeard Pirates.

After Izo agreed.

The vice-captain and other crew members looked at each other, and they saw amusement in each other's eyes.

You must know.

The division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates were all famous throughout the Four Seas and possessed immense strength.

Even Izo, who ranked at the bottom.

Put in the Grand Line, was someone whom major factions all had to show a modicum of respect to.

Competing with their own division commander?

Was your head kicked by a donkey!

Everyone shook their heads.

Even if Lin Yan wiped out the Battleaxe Pirates overnight.

They didn't believe that Lin Yan could really get the upper hand in front of Commander Izo.

"There's a good show to watch!"

"Challenging Commander Izo? This guy's guts are extraordinary."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm quite looking forward to his panicked look in a moment."

"This guy's going to have bad luck!"

The vice-captain and crew spoke one after another, and with thick smiles, they backed away.

Making room for the two of them.

Izo suddenly pulled out his dual guns from behind him.

The two guns spun twice on his fingertips, and then were gripped tightly in his hands.

"Blades and guns have no eyes, be careful!"

Izo said with a calm expression and a smiling face.

He was exceptionally confident in his own strength.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to qualify for today's position as a division commander.

"You're quite polite!"

Lin Yan raised his head and glanced at him.

"No more nonsense, then let's begin!"

Izo twisted his wrists and said casually.

Both sides lined up in this open space.

An intangible wave of air.

Shrouded the two of them.

Izo only smiled and didn't speak.

No sooner said than done.

He tapped his foot on the ground.

Even the sandy beach was stepped on with a dent.

And he was even like an arrow leaving the string.

With a "swish", he appeared right before Lin Yan's eyes!

He drew the guns in his hands and locked onto Lin Yan's head.

"Bang!!!"

The muzzle spat fire.

After the gunshot.

The bullet pierced the illusion.

Shooting toward Lin Yan.

Just at this moment.

Lin Yan tilted his head.

The bullet brushed past his shoulder.

"Dodge it?"

As a firearms expert, it went without saying how fast Izo's draw speed was.

Yet he didn't think too much about it.

Izo closed in once more.

He kicked toward Lin Yan.

Lin Yan avoided it once again.

"Oh? Not bad speed either!"

Izo nodded.

A master makes a move, and you know if there's anything there.

No wonder he could wipe out the Battleaxe Pirates.

Other things aside.

Being able to keep up with his speed.

Lin Yan's strength had already won his approval.

"Let me test just how strong you really are!"

Izo suddenly burst forth, his speed becoming even more peerless, and his explosive power turning even more fierce.

Facing Izo who suddenly attacked.

Lin Yan responded unhurriedly.

His body constantly shifted.

It was precisely this negligible movement.

That happened to narrowly avoid all of Izo's attacks.

"Hmm?"

Izo was, after all, a division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He acutely sensed at the very first moment that Lin Yan's strength was not simple.

It was just like when you execute a whole set of combo moves.

Only to see a string of misses pop up on the boss's body.

This guy.

Is not simple!

The other members of the Sixteenth Division also noticed this scene.

A flash of strange color crossed their eyes.

"We underestimated him after all."

"I have to admit, this Lin has some skills."

"He was actually able to keep up with the captain's speed!"

The other members of the division watching the battle from the sidelines voiced their thoughts one after another.

However.

Just as they were admiring Lin Yan's strength.

Lin spoke to them with a hint of surprise: "I didn't expect you guys from the Battleaxe Pirates to still have some strength, it really opened my eyes!"

Yes.

From beginning to end.

Lin Yan had regarded the opponent as a member of the Battleaxe Pirates.

This sentence made the people in the Sixteenth Division look at each other in dismay.

He...

Really didn't recognize that Izo was a division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates?

Since when.

Had their division commander become so lacking in recognition?

"Come again!"

Lin Yan's composed demeanor also stirred up Izo's desire to fight.

He drew his dual guns once more, and a hail of bullets was instantly unleashed.

This time.

Izo's shooting angles were exceptionally tricky.

Almost all of them locked onto Lin Yan's blind spots.

No matter what action he took, a follow-up bullet was bound to hit him.

Besides the dual guns.

Izo's close-combat fighting ability was also extremely formidable.

His speed flew.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Lin Yan's eyes.

A whip kick swept toward Lin Yan.

A trace of surprise showed slightly in Lin Yan's eyes.

Izo's division-commander-level strength.

Was displayed without reservation at this moment.

He couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Among the remnants of the Battleaxe Pirates, there was actually such a strong fighter?

If there truly was such a strong fighter.

How could the bounty possibly be only one hundred and fifty million?

However.

Lin Yan quickly returned to calm.

A slight smile rose on his face.

No matter who it was.

The ending was all the same!
