บท 49: Chapter 49: In What Way is Luffy Better Than Kaido?
Lin Yan inquired about Blackbeard. After learning of his interest, Shakky didn't hesitate and went straight to her intelligence room. After a while, she emerged with information about Blackbeard.
"My advice is not to go after Blackbeard!" Shakky said hesitantly after reviewing the information.
"Why?" Lin Yan asked.
"See for yourself!" Shakky replied.
Soon after seeing the contents of the intelligence report, Lin Yan fell silent. Blackbeard was now in Marineford, and Ace had been sent to the impenetrable underwater prison, Impel Down. Although Lin Yan had expected such a result, he couldn't help but sigh. The Paramount War was inevitable. He knew he couldn't break into Impel Down and rescue Ace. As a Marshal, he believed that once Ace was imprisoned, the defense of Impel Down would double to guard against any evildoers, making it even harder to invade than before.
"Seeing that you are an old friend, I'll give you a heads-up!" Shakky said while lighting a cigarette. "Recently, the Navy has been gathering elite soldiers from all over the Four Seas, the first half of the Grand Line, and the New World! Currently, according to my information, there are already more than hundreds of thousands of elite navy soldiers stationed in Marineford, with hundreds of warships!"
"Do you know what the Navy means by this?"
How could Lin Yan not understand the Navy's intention? After capturing Ace, they launched such a large-scale military operation. It was clear they wanted to annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates, re-establish their dominance through a great war, and reclaim their status as rulers of the Grand Line.
In fact, the Navy had always been the overlord of the sea, a superpower even the Four Emperors had to acknowledge. The reason for the Navy's aggressive action was simple: greed knows no bounds. Like a certain unnamed American suspecting you have weapons of mass destruction, they'd better not only have them but also show them clearly.
"The Navy... they're already preparing to take action against the Whitebeard Pirates. You must be careful!" Shakky said worriedly. Although she hadn't known Lin Yan for long and even considered him a plague god, after a series of mutual sabotage and pranks, she saw that Lin Yan was a man of character. They had become friends, and she didn't want to see him get caught up in the coming storm.
As the two were chatting, the ground suddenly started shaking. Shakky's face changed, "What's going on?" The Sabaody Archipelago had been tumultuous, and she didn't want her bar to be affected. If the bar got destroyed, who would she cry to?
"It's here!" Lin Yan closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. Rayleigh and Kizaru's leisurely sword fight had reached this point. Opening the door, Lin Yan walked outside, with Shakky following closely behind.
Sure enough, outside, two figures were constantly clashing, each clash causing violent tremors and dazzling sparks. The fight wasn't too intense—one move after another, you attack, I counter—a leisurely sword fight! Besides Rayleigh and Kizaru, behind them were the Straw Hat Pirates and Sentomaru's group. Sentomaru's strength was no less than these supernovas, chasing Luffy alone. However, Sentomaru wasn't fighting alone. Behind him were five Pacifistas, the Navy's secret weapon, humanoid machines of the World Government. Compared to the Seven Warlords, the Empress could take them down with one kick, but to the supernovas, these Pacifistas were a dimensional reduction strike!
Rayleigh was held back by Kizaru, and Luffy was held back by Sentomaru. Five Pacifistas entered the Straw Hat Pirates like tigers among sheep, and no one could resist. Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Franky couldn't match them and were immediately scattered and fled.
"Old Ray..." Seeing Rayleigh fighting the Navy Admiral Kizaru as soon as he stepped out, Shakky showed a worried look. Although Rayleigh wasn't weak, his opponent was a prime Navy Admiral. As for Rayleigh, he was past his prime, an old man, naturally unable to match the young.
"Are you worried? Don't worry. If it were anyone else, Rayleigh might not last long! His luck is good, this time the opponent is Kizaru!" Lin Yan appreciated this lazy admiral. A typical one who would never stand when he could lie down. If given the chance, he would also like to experience such treatment. As a normal person, who would refuse to slack off? Don't you agree?
Lin Yan shifted his gaze from Rayleigh to the Straw Hat Pirates. They were in a tough spot. Although they had high bounties and strong abilities, their enemies were the Pacifistas. Being human weapons acknowledged by the Navy, each Pacifista was incredibly strong! Of course, that's compared to ordinary pirates. For people like Lin Yan, the Pacifistas were not much!
In the Paramount War, the Pacifistas showed absolute dominance, not something ordinary people could rival! Lin Yan stroked his chin. He hadn't expected this: the first time he encountered the main character of the Pirate World, Monkey D. Luffy, it was under such circumstances. Not far away, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates were being ravaged by the Pacifistas. Lin Yan sighed. Is this the strength of the supernovas? Honestly, not very impressive! It's hard to imagine how such people could, in just two short years, defeat the likes of Kaido, who had stood in the New World for forty to fifty years and reached the status of one of the Four Emperors. Not to mention that behind Kaido, there is a massive Beasts Pirates crew at his command!
In terms of strength, status, influence, and pirate crews, how does Monkey D. Luffy compare to Kaido? Is he cheating? Hmm... Speaking of cheating, Lin Yan suddenly came to his senses. He scratched his head. I don't seem to have the right to talk about cheating!
