Chapter 6: The Arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates
Leon paused for a moment.
He detected the implied meaning in Izou's words, "Captain, are you suggesting..."
"If possible, I'd like to meet him and have a match!" Izou's eyes gleamed brightly.
Private fights were forbidden in the Whitebeard Pirates.
Years had passed without any combat.
Izou's hands were itching for a fight.
Now, he had encountered such an intriguing opponent.
How could he possibly miss this opportunity?
Immediately, he ordered his men to inquire about this Lin in the town.
After half a day of searching, they indeed received news.
They learned that in the back hills of the town, there was a fisherman.
According to the people who came and went, he looked exactly like the Lin who had saved their town.
Currently, he had been fishing in the back hills for an entire year.
Occasionally, he would come down to the town to buy supplies!
Initially, many people were puzzled, thinking, "Has this guy gone crazy from fishing? Who would spend an entire year just sitting there for no reason?"
Not until recently, when the town was plundered by pirates and Lin single-handedly destroyed the Battle Axe Pirate Crew, were the townspeople shocked.
Only then did they realize how remarkable this young man was.
Since then, the residents had developed a sense of awe and admiration for the back hills of their town!
"The back hills?"
Upon hearing this, Izou's eyes lit up.
He led the entire Sixteenth Division towards the back hills of the archipelago.
....
Back hills.
Lin Yan was fishing while holding his manga, engrossed.
From time to time, he had a silly grin on his face, like someone sneaking under the covers, turning off the lights, adjusting the volume to the minimum, increasing the brightness to the maximum, silently opening the browser, and skillfully typing in that mysterious string of codes!
At that moment, the system suddenly chimed.
"Ding, dear host, a new task has been issued!"
"Task Two: Within ten days, defeat three enemies with bounties of three hundred million!"
"Completing the task will reward you with: 20 bait!"
Hearing the system's prompt, Lin Yan's gaze moved away from his manga, "A new task already?"
To be honest, the ten bait he got from eliminating the Battle Axe Pirate Crew was far from enough for Lin Yan!
Since the beginner's package was gone, bait was in short supply.
The already scarce bait became a rare treasure.
He needed to get more bait as soon as possible.
Of course, defeating enemies with a bounty of three hundred million wasn't a big challenge for Lin Yan.
It's not arrogance, but rather that those with three hundred million in strength were no longer on his level.
However...
The problem was finding opponents with bounties over three hundred million.
The issue wasn't fear, but rather the difficulty of locating them.
And the task had a deadline—ten days.
A bit tight on time!
As Lin Yan furrowed his brow in thought, a group of people came into view.
Izou looked around and quickly spotted Lin Yan in the back hills.
A young man, fishing—he must be the Lin the townsfolk spoke of!
Izou approached Lin Yan with his crew.
"Excuse me... do you know someone named Lin?"
Although he guessed Lin Yan's identity, Izou politely started with a question.
"Lin?"
Lin Yan paused.
Then he quickly remembered the identity he had revealed to the villagers.
Were these people looking for him?
If he had a recent grudge, it would be with the Battle Axe Pirate Crew.
Lin Yan remained calm, "Are you with the Battle Axe Pirate Crew?"
At these words, Izou and his vice-captain exchanged glances, initially confused.
"We're with the Battle Axe Pirate Crew? What does that mean?"
Izou was stunned for a second.
"Alright, don't play dumb!"
"If you want revenge, go ahead. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
Lin Yan was currently troubled, trying to find powerful opponents.
Because of this, he wasn't interested in the "Battle Axe Pirate Crew remnants."
Aren't you here for revenge?
Then let's get this over with!
Lin Yan gestured for them to come forward if they wanted to fight.
