As everyone continued arguing and blaming each other, a voice cut through the noise. "It sure is lively here!" Lin Yan entered their field of vision. His appearance instantly caught the attention of all the Supernovas present. Of course, this was their first meeting, so the Supernovas couldn't immediately recognize Lin Yan. But just because they didn't recognize him didn't mean they didn't recognize Jinbei and Crocodile behind him.
These two had been dominating the seas as Warlords of the Sea for years! However, seeing these prominent figures of the Grand Line, the Warlords, following behind Lin Yan, the Supernovas began scrutinizing him. As they observed closely, the Supernovas recognized Lin Yan's identity.
"The new division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates?" Trafalgar Law stared at Lin Yan with a stern expression.
"I was wondering, why would the new division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates appear in their nemesis, the Navy's Impel Down?" Kid cast a sideways glance at Lin Yan and asked.
"Could it be that he was captured by the Navy?" Apoo suspected that Lin Yan might have been captured by the Navy too. If that were the case, then this division commander wasn't as strong as the rumors said!
"It's you!!" Luffy naturally remembered meeting Lin Yan once at the Sabaody Archipelago. Even though Lin Yan had ungraciously sent him to Impel Down and locked him in this dark prison, at least his crew didn't suffer the same fate. For this, Luffy felt some gratitude towards Lin Yan. "Why are you here?"
"I have a deal for you. Are you interested? I think none of you want to stay in this Infinite Hell. Help me, and we part ways afterward!" Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. The Supernovas might not be the strongest, but with bounties exceeding a hundred million, they were nothing to scoff at. Most importantly, compared to ordinary pirates, these Supernovas were like tigers among sheep, unstoppable!
"Your deal is to use our strength to help the Whitebeard Pirates in the battle at Marineford, right?" Among the Supernovas, Hawkins, who was relatively calm, said steadily. When they were imprisoned, they had heard rumors of the upcoming war! The man before them was a division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. He didn't believe the Navy was strong enough to capture this division commander. It wasn't hard to guess that the prisoners in Impel Down were his targets!
"Smart!" Lin Yan didn't deny it. He looked at the Supernovas and asked, "A bunch of young guys like you, don't you think it's a waste to rot here? Now, the opportunity is before you. Agree or refuse, stay here or leave! The future is in your hands!"
Lin Yan's words weren't exactly enticing, but they struck a chord deep within them. They had experienced Impel Down. Who would want to stay here for the rest of their lives?
"I'll go with you!" Hawkins was the first to speak, giving Lin Yan an answer. Being a fortune teller, he realized his chance to escape Impel Down was thanks to this division commander.
"If even the fortune teller agrees, it seems this is our only way out! I'll go with you too!" After witnessing this, Trafalgar Law also agreed.
"Looks like I don't have a choice!" Kid thought for a while and agreed to Lin Yan's terms. The other Supernovas also understood the situation. They all agreed. Luffy's goal was to rescue Ace. Emotionally and logically, he had to leave Impel Down.
Finally, only Jewelry Bonney, known as the Gluttonous Woman, had yet to respond. "What about you? Little girl!" Lin Yan looked with interest at Bonney, who had been silent in the prison. Bonney raised her head and also looked at Lin Yan. Their eyes met, and then Lin Yan frowned slightly. From Bonney's eyes, he saw deep resentment.
What's going on? Does this girl have a deep grudge against me? While thinking, Bonney spoke. "I'll go with you! But before that, I have a question that I need you to answer!"
Hearing her words, Lin Yan nodded. "Go ahead!"
"At the Sabaody Archipelago, when we first met, I tricked you. That was my fault, and I apologize! But... Did you do anything to me while I was unconscious?" Bonney continued to look at Lin Yan with resentful eyes. When she woke up, she found herself captured by the Navy. But that wasn't the most important thing. The important thing was, all her valuables were gone! The Navy had no reason to take her belongings. The only explanation was the encounter with Lin Yan before she passed out! For this, Bonney was very angry!
Seriously, don't you have any decency? I'm a girl! A girl passes out in front of you. You don't help her, fine; but you take all her valuables? Look at this. Is this something a decent person would do? For a man, the most insulting thing a woman can say is "Is it in?" or "Is it over?" But for a woman, the most insulting and humiliating thing is "Put your clothes back on, I'm not that kind of person!" Bastard. I have a curvy figure. I have the looks and the body. And in your eyes, I'm not attractive at all? Bonney felt hurt inside. She was a bit crushed!
"Um..." Lin Yan suddenly remembered stripping... Cough cough. Taking her valuables. He felt a bit guilty. After a moment of low murmuring, he quickly turned his head and denied. "No, absolutely not!"
"Is that so? Didn't expect a division commander to have moments of cowardice!" Bonney could see Lin Yan's guilt, and after a pause, she continued. "I don't care about the other items, but there was a bracelet that is very precious to me, Division Commander. I hope you can return it to me when you have the chance. It's my only connection to my family!"
Bracelet? Lin Yan remembered. There was such a bracelet. However, he had used it to pay for drinks at Shakky's bar. Hopefully... Shakky hadn't exchanged it for Beli yet! Lin Yan thought to himself.
