Rescuing Jinbe and Crocodile
Crocodile was brought in relatively early.
Back when Luffy cleared the Desert Kingdom arc.
Crocodile was thrown into Impel Down by the Navy.
It's only natural that he didn't know Lin Yan.
But he didn't recognize him.
But that doesn't mean Jinbe doesn't recognize him!
Jinbe had read the news about Lin Yan before he was imprisoned.
After all, Fish-Man Island and the Whitebeard Pirates have a history.
The news of a new division commander being appointed in the Whitebeard Pirates.
He couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
But.
Now, when we see the newly appointed division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates...
But it mysteriously appeared in the Impel Down, specifically on the sixth level, the so-called forbidden zone of the sea Infinite Hell.
Even Jinbe, a member of the Shichibukai who had seen Jinbe storms, had a change in expression.
Could it be...?
Has the battle at Marineford ended?
The navy is terrifying to this extent.
How long has the war been going on?
Did they really swallow the behemoth of the New World, the Whitebeard Pirates?
"Squad leader... what are you doing here?"
It's not that Jinbe isn't calm enough.
Rather, it's simply too unbelievable.
That's utterly unbelievable, unheard of.
Jinbe, suppressing the shock in his heart, tentatively asked Lin Yan, "Our Whitebeard Pirates were wiped out. Were we all captured by the Navy?"
Hearing Jinbe's surprised and uncertain words...
Lin Yan paused slightly.
He quickly realized what was going on.
"You have so little faith in our Whitebeard Pirates?"
Lin Yan smiled and asked Jinbe.
soon.
According to Lin Yan's explanation.
Jinbe learned the reason.
The battle at Marine Headquarters has only just begun.
Lin Yan and Whitebeard split up into two groups.
A sniper duel at the middle gate.
Another Lucci on the navy's rear.
Although.
Lin Yan was the only one on the surprise attack route...
"You want to free the prisoners and take them to Marineford?"
Jinbe quickly understood what Lin Yan meant.
"Hmph, Whitebeard has certainly played his cards right!"
After Crocodile understood the whole story, even though he was arrogant and unruly, he had to admit that it was a good idea.
As the saying goes...
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The prisoners were already hostile to the navy and harbored a great deal of resentment towards them.
If it comes at the cost of freedom.
Let them participate in the Marineford War.
It's unlikely that many prisoners will be able to refuse.
Compared to the sky outside.
Who would want that?
Are we just going to wait to die in this dark, Impel Down?
For Lin Yan
He needs the strength of these prisoners.
Don't let his ability to pilot a Gundam and ride Thunder God fool you; with a smile, they could sweep through Marineford.
But this is just wishful thinking.
Lin Yan never underestimated the navy.
I never thought that it was just a matter of them.
We can take down the navy that has dominated the seas for over eight hundred years without ever falling!
If the navy were so easy to deal with.
Why did Rocks die so tragically?
If the navy were so easy to deal with.
If the other Four Emperors joined forces, wouldn't it be a simple and easy task for them to wipe out the Navy?
The navy appears to have only one marshal and three admirals.
The problem is...
besides.
They also have many substitute Admiral, all of whom are top-notch in their respective fields.
And the hidden fighting forces that the Fleet Admiral Admiral yesteryear retired to the background, living in seclusion and not concerning themselves with worldly affairs.
Even on Lin Yan's side.
With the addition of Issho, Ryokugyu, Zephyr, and others.
It has an impact.
It was merely a balance of power in the battle between the top forces of the two major powers, relieving the pressure on the Whitebeard Pirates' lack of top-tier combat strength.
If a major battle between the two sides is imminent and a deadly struggle ensues.
Who is stronger and who is weaker?
It might not be clear!
This is also why Lin Yan had to bring prisoners to fight at the top!
They realized Lin Yan's purpose.
Jinbe clenched his fist. "Please take me with you, so I can do my part for the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Lin Yan's original intention was to bring this group of people out.
One hand rested on the iron cage.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit immediately released.
He melted the cage into molten iron.
Seeing Lin Yan's methods...
Crocodile showed the same surprise as Buggy had earlier. "Why... can't Seastone restrain you?"
"Secret!"
Lin Yan smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
at the same time.
He glanced at Crocodile, then pressed, "Now, this Shichibukai, are you interested in freedom outside?"
Are you interested in the freedom outside?
Crocodile sneered, "You're not thinking of inviting me to help your Whitebeard Pirates fight at Marineford, are you?"
Lin Yan nodded. "If we hadn't met, your life or death would be none of my concern. But since we have, you are, after all, a rare and valuable Shichibukai the Sea. With another Shichibukai, our Whitebeard Pirates have one more layer of protection, don't we?"
Crocodile maintained his cold smile, "Why should I agree to your request?"
Listen to what the other person has to say.
Without saying a word, Lin Yan placed one hand on his cage.
The next second.
His cage was shattered by Lin Yan's lightning and intense heat.
Crocodile stared at the cage that had been completely melted.
He felt a slight jolt in his heart.
Immediately afterwards.
Lin Yan's words.
It reached his ear.
Do you really want to be locked up here for the rest of your life?
"Come with me. After this war is over, whether you stay or leave, I will not stop you!"
Lin Yan presented Crocodile with a reason he couldn't refuse.
Crocodile fell silent.
Finally, he uttered a single word. "Good!"
Lin Yan was alone in front.
Crocodile and Jinbe followed behind him.
If the Impel Down only holds serious criminals from the sea...
So, this is the sixth floor.
Those imprisoned were all among the strongest individuals of their time.
Logically, with the addition of this group of people...
pressure.
They then went to the navy's side.
But Lin Yan had no intention of releasing them.
The reason is simple.
These are the prisoners on the sixth level.
It's hard to control!
Lin Yan would rather not have someone who is difficult to control.
He searched around.
Just then...
A commotion resounded throughout the entire sixth level of Infinite Hell.
It was less noisy and more chaotic.
It was more like an argument.
"You damn Straw Hat Luffy, it's all your fault! If you hadn't beaten up the Celestial Dragons, would we be Impel Down?"
Kid kicked a large rock at his feet, and the rock hit Luffy squarely on the head.
It made a crisp sound.
"None of your business?"
Luffy glared angrily at Kid.
"I'm starting to find this guy unbearable too!"
Scratchmen Apoo, with a dark expression, was also cursing Luffy.
"None of your business?"
Luffy glared back at Apoo.
"Damn it, if he hadn't angered the Celestial Dragons... we wouldn't have been beaten to a pulp by the Admiral."
The Mad Monk Urouge followed closely behind.
"None of your business?"
Luffy quickly responded.
"Don't let me out! Let me out! I'm going to beat you up to vent my anger!"
As a gluttonous woman, Jewelry Bonney was also venting her anger.
"None of your business?"
Luffy launches a counterattack.
"Based on my predictions, I shouldn't die in Impel Down..."
Basil Hawkins recalled the outcome of his cards.
"None of your business?"
Luffy and started biting anyone he saw.
????
Basil Hawkins: "I was just recalling my calculations, what the hell did that do you?"
Stupid Straw Hat!!!
