Fish-Man Island had maintained a friendly relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates for decades.
Neptune personally led many ministers to greet them.
Lin Yan, naturally, did not act arrogantly. With a warm smile, he responded to each of them with great delicacy.
Seeing Lin Yan's gentle and courteous demeanor, Neptune and the others were pleasantly surprised. They did not expect this captain of the Seventeenth Division to be not only powerful but also so mild-mannered. Their welcome became even more enthusiastic.
During this time, Neptune also narrated the situation of Fish-Man Island to Lin Yan. It turned out that not only was Big Mom eyeing them covetously, but the Navy had also sent many troops, attempting to seize this lucrative territory!
"The Navy is here too?" Lin Yan stroked his chin, raising his head and murmuring. No wonder Big Mom's pirate crew was so agitated. After all, someone was competing with them for territory!
"Captain, although I greatly appreciate your coming to help us on Fish-Man Island, the Whitebeard Pirates are currently not in the best state. The enemies are the Navy and Big Mom's pirates; rashly engaging in battle might be detrimental to you. We in Ryugu Palace can still hold on. How about this, wait until you've fully recovered and then help us eliminate these villains?"
The Whitebeard Pirates had been protecting Ryugu Palace for many years, and at this crucial time, Neptune did not want to drag the Whitebeard Pirates into trouble. Moreover, the enemies were just after the territory of Fish-Man Island. They were not aiming to annihilate Fish-Man Island. They could still hold on. Helping out after the Whitebeard Pirates had recovered would not be too late!
"Rest assured, our Whitebeard Pirates are fine. I will handle this matter!" Lin Yan had come specifically for this issue. Procrastination was not his style. After understanding the situation thoroughly, Lin Yan twisted his neck. It was time to take action!
He first arrived at the temporary base where the Navy was stationed. Standing high in the sky, Lin Yan overlooked the Navy base. Uniformed Navy soldiers patrolled around the base, armed with heavy weapons and ready for combat. In the center of the base, a symbolic seagull flag fluttered in the wind.
"Who goes there?" The Navy's guards immediately noticed the stranger at their gate. A group of soldiers immediately pointed their weapons at Lin Yan, ready for battle. Unfortunately, this group of people could not even withstand a single blow from Lin Yan. With a casual flick, a million volts surged, and the Navy soldiers in front of him fell to the ground in waves.
"Bang!" Lin Yan kicked open the main door of the base headquarters. Inside the door, a Navy Vice-Admiral stood guard.
"How dare you intrude into our Fish-Man Island Navy base? Do you have no regard for me?" This Vice-Admiral, code-named Onigumo, was furious seeing a stranger intrude into his Navy base on Fish-Man Island. He immediately grabbed his weapon and swung it at Lin Yan.
"Bang!" Lin Yan raised his hand, effortlessly intercepting his attack.
"Who are you..." Vice-Admiral Onigumo was about to question this intruder. At that moment, the sunlight shone through the window, illuminating Lin Yan's face. In an instant, the imposing Vice-Admiral Onigumo paused. His pupils shrank tightly. He looked at the man in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.
"It's... it's you..." Onigumo Vice-Admiral had participated in the War of the Best. The man who had single-handedly overturned the Navy was unforgettable. Seeing Lin Yan at this moment, Onigumo felt as if he had lifted a bride's veil only to find a terrifying specter underneath. He immediately deflated! His previous arrogance vanished without a trace.
"This is the spirit of a Navy Vice-Admiral? Quite strong!" Lin Yan said indifferently.
"Why are you here on Fish-Man Island?" Vice-Admiral Onigumo forced himself to question, suppressing his fear. At this moment, he noticed that all the Navy soldiers in the base had been defeated by Lin Yan!
"You should be asking yourselves that question. Fish-Man Island is the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates. You Navy and Big Mom's pirates are opportunists taking over our place, why are you here on Fish-Man Island?" Lin Yan's tone shifted from calm to cold.
Vice-Admiral Onigumo remained silent. He couldn't answer. The Navy's original intent was to seize Fish-Man Island. Unexpectedly, Big Mom's pirates were also here. Two major forces were competing on the island.
"Can't answer? It seems the Navy knows they are occupying someone else's territory!" The coldness in Lin Yan's eyes intensified. At this point, there was nothing more to say! In less than three seconds, Vice-Admiral Onigumo was down. Lin Yan dusted off his hands. He then headed towards the candy factory!
About ten minutes later, a pink candy factory appeared before Lin Yan. Like the Navy base, the candy factory was also surrounded by candy soldiers. However, this could not stop Lin Yan. In a short while, all the soldiers in the candy factory were swept away by him.
Guarding this candy factory was Big Mom's eldest son, Charlotte Perospero. Like Onigumo, Perospero was stunned seeing Lin Yan break in alone!
"Whitebeard Pirates' division captain, what are you doing here?" Perospero pointed his candy wand at Lin Yan and asked.
"Why is it always this question?" Lin Yan frowned, showing intense helplessness. You ask, and he asks. Is there no end?
Next, under Perospero's terrified gaze, Lin Yan effortlessly overturned the candy factory! After finishing up, Lin Yan contacted the Whitebeard Pirates.
"The issue at Fish-Man Island is resolved. Bring more people this time; besides Big Mom's pirates, there's also the Navy's mess to clean up!"
