Fujitora Issho somewhat dumbfounded. Although he was blind, Lin Yuan's words left him a little confused, wondering what he meant by "we can go back now."
Over the years, having witnessed too much darkness in the world, he was willing to sacrifice his own eyesight, all while waiting for an opportunity to realize the justice in his heart.
However, he didn't expect to run into a brick wall in front of Lin Yuan, but Fujitora Issho didn't choose to make a move.
To his surprise, after Lin Yuan finished speaking, he could no longer sense his presence.
This was the first time Fujitora Issho had encountered such a situation in all these years. You must know that although he had blinded himself, his Observation Haki was exceptionally powerful.
It has even reached the point where it can see through people's hearts and completely replace dual-destination steps.
But just now, Lin Yuan's aura suddenly disappeared from his perception. If the person hadn't been right in front of him, he would have thought that the other party didn't exist.
At the same time, Yi Xiao smiled bitterly to himself, realizing that his status as the world's strongest person was not something others had boasted about.
"Lord Lin Yuan, the Straw Hat Pirates have plundered the Heavenly Tribute and caused immense losses to the Navy, with many losing their lives. Therefore, I must apologize, but I cannot grant your request."
Lin Yuan had no doubt about what Yixiao said. The Straw Hat Pirates were a bunch of troublemakers who were fearless and there was nothing they wouldn't dare to do.
Let alone robbing Heavenly Tribute, these people dare to beat and kidnap even the Celestial Dragons. In the original story, quite a few people died because of them.
Putting everything else aside, their feud with Buggy alone resulted in the destruction of half a street's buildings. It was impossible for people not to die. Moreover, with the destruction of Enies Lobby, it's impossible for there not to be ordinary people on it.
However, these are things that Lin Yuan cannot stop right now. This is the world of pirates, where countless people die every year, and he can't possibly manage them all.
Lin Yuan's ultimate goal is to overthrow the Celestial Dragons ' rule and establish his ideal nation. Only when that time comes will he take action to resolve these issues.
If Fujitora Issho and Straw Hat Luffy were to fight on the territory of the " Abyss " Trading Company, given their strength, who knows how many people would die.
Lin Yuan wouldn't let them act so recklessly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yixiao, you've heard about my dealings with the Navy, so there's absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter. It's better for both of us to back down now."
Lin Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to strike the hearts of these sailors, his tone carrying an irresistible Haki.
Yi Xiao then truly realized that the man in front of him wasn't just speaking casually, but was actually issuing a warning. Although his sense of justice wouldn't allow him to give up so easily, his reason told him that the man in front of him was dangerous.
Yi Xiao let out a deep breath; he could feel the fear in the hearts of his soldiers.
"Mr. Lin Yuan, I can leave, but could you grant me one request?"
"Explain!!!"
"Um, um, I'd like to experience your strength. Borsalino and the others said you're very strong. Besides being Marine Admiral, I'm also a strong person, so I can't help but feel a little itchy."
A smile suddenly appeared on Lin Yuan's face. He naturally understood the meaning behind the smile, and he also knew that the other party genuinely wanted to challenge him.
Those who reach their level of strength naturally possess extremely strong self-confidence. Regardless of what others say, they believe that only through direct combat can they truly gain any benefit.
Ichisho was naturally very confident in himself, otherwise he wouldn't have directly tried to seize the position of Admiral of the Marine Headquarters.
Lin Yuan didn't refuse. He also wanted to see the other party's strength. As Paramecia- type Devil Fruit User with the Gambler's Fireline, one of the Supreme Great Grade Sword, he believed that Yi Xiao would pique his interest!
"Okay, you have three chances."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Yi Xiao's face, which then turned serious.
"Thank you very much. To express my apology, I will do my best."
Watching Xiao slowly draw his sword, Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he stood casually atop the Flame Clouds.
They didn't even seem to want to resist.
Seemingly sensing Lin Yuan's actions, Fujitora Issho's face grew even more serious. He stood at the bow of the ship, and his Gambler's Fireline was instantly drawn.
" Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!!!"
With a light shout, Yi Xiao slashed horizontally with the Gambler's Fireline in his hand. The sea surface sank slightly under the terrifying gravity, and a blade of light carrying a tiger's roar rushed directly towards Lin Yuan.
Not only that, Lin Yuan felt a sudden layer of gravity on his body, making his movements somewhat sluggish.
However, Lin Yuan did not panic at all. Instead, he slowly raised his hand in an unnatural way and slapped it onto the opponent's blade.
"Boom..."
With a deafening roar, a massive chasm appeared before Lin Yuan, leading straight to the seabed. Towering waves surged into the sky, but Lin Yuan blocked them directly.
The warship was propelled hundreds of meters backward by the terrifying energy, but fortunately, Fujitora Issho's power slightly erupted, preventing the warship from capsizing.
Lin Yuan smiled at him and then spoke.
"Continue!!!"
Fujitora Issho; how could he not be excited to see such an opponent?
"Clang!!!"
Gravity Blade - Flood Dragon!
"Hold head high!!!"
A streak of cyan blade light rushed towards him, seemingly accompanied by a cyan dragon shadow. At the same time, Lin Yuan felt the gravity on his body double again.
"Hehe, not bad."
Lin Yuan didn't let his guard down this time. He slightly amplified his Armament Haki and then threw a punch.
The enormous azure dragon shadow and the fist collided violently, once again blasting a terrifying Abyss into the sea, which lingered for a long time.
"Here it comes, Hell's Journey, Gravity Blade: Meteor!"
Before the sea could even calm down, Yixiao stepped onto a wooden plank and flew up, while the warship was pushed into the distance by a force.
Lin Yuan felt the gravity around him increase to a terrifying level, and even Erza and Emile behind him were struggling.
"Snort!!!"
Lin Yuan snorted coldly, and then ripples erupted from his body, directly isolating the gravity.
" Lin Yuan, look at the sky!"
Emile had just breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky and was instantly startled. She quickly reminded Lin Yuan.
Erza also saw the huge meteorite in the sky, but standing behind Lin Yuan, she wasn't too worried. After all, with her strength, she knew she could stay safe.
Lin Yuan raised his head, looking at the enormous meteorite that resembled an ordinary house, his face expressionless.
His hand instantly went to his waist, and the " Mandala " sword was drawn in an instant.
"Clang!!!"
The Famous Sword was drawn, its sound deafening.
"One sword, splits the heavens!!!"
