Chapter 269
Today, there is a rare calm, bright sun and a gentle breeze weather on the Grand Line.
As a brave sea warrior, Usopp is observing the sea with a telescope, but falls into the usual narcissism as usual.
“Come out, millions of people in Little Garden, to welcome the sight of Captain Usopp, the little girls cheer sweetly, blowing kisses, I’m such a bad man…”

Zoro picked up an apple casually, took a bite, moved towards the bow of the ship, helplessly said: “Are you an idiot?”
“Who’s an idiot?!” Usopp asked with an uncomfortable face, sto,ped hard against the plank under his feet.
In the cabin, Lin Tian yelled to Usopp: “Hey, Usopp! There are no millions of people in Little Garden. Instead, there’s a lot of monsters!”
“What, monster…” Usopp’s face was immediately covered with cold sweat, and his legs couldn’t help but tremble, “In that case, I will stay with captain and guard Merry.”
Nami kicked Usopp out and hit Zoro, almost kicking them off the boat. Scratching her head, she then asked towards Lin Tian: “Hey, Lin Tian goes on, who on earth was that woman yesterday? How did you two meet?”
Yum! On the side, Vivi also nodded quickly, wanting to hear what kind of person Miss All Sunday really is. From Lin Tian’s brief introduction, it seems that she is not as evil as she introduced herself.
Lin Tian continued: “Actually, it’s gonna be long story short. I’ll just say some important parts.”
After speaking, Lin Tian glanced at Nami with a guilty conscience, and quickly relaxed when he saw that Nami didn’t realize anything. Lin Tian was afraid that if he talks too much, he can easily get find out with Nami’s wit.
But when he thinks of Robin joining them… When the two meet, sooner or later they will know. Lin Tian feels tired thinking of that scene.
Forget it. Lin Tian moved this kind of troublesome thing from his mind. It’s useless to think about it now.
“If I describe it vividly, her experience is more like yours, Nami, no, maybe it’s worse than yours. You still have a dream alive, but she’s at the point of wondering ‘why am I even alive’. When you go to Cocoyasi Village, there are countless villagers who still care about you. But since that year, she has been alive alone. Under the pursuit of the World Government, she has exhausted all means to live!”
Vivi and Nami were shocked. Perhaps Vivi was just shocked. She didn’t expect this murderous woman in the organization to have such a story.
But Nami is different than Vivi. After so many experiences, Nami is more able to experience the kind of pain. A woman who has experienced something so cruel instantly makes Nami feels like she has a heart-to-heart relationship with Robin. After all, any girl is emotional.
At this time, Sanji, who made breakfast, happened to hear Lin Tian and the others talk. His eyes were red and he sighed: “Didn’t expect that big sister is so miserable, I must be the knight on the sea-“
bang!
Lin Tian quickly reached out to catch the plate. Looking at the ground, under Nami’s feet, Sanji was lying on the ground. Lin Tian silently mourned for half a second.
Then, put the plate on the table and shouted directly: “Hey, Vivi, Nami, hurry up and have breakfast, it will get cold.”
“Yes, big brother Lin Tian.” Vivi smiled slightly, shouted sweetly, and ran to beside Lin Tian.
Nami also go to next to Lin Tian, take a sip of the coffee on the table, open the newspaper and read it. This is what Nami must do every day, just to learn about major events happening around the world.
As for Luffy and the others outside, there is no need for Lin Tian to shout. Their sharp noses have already smelled the food, and they walked in one after another, avoiding Sanji on the ground, and found one random position to eat.
“a.s.sholes, you a.s.sholes.” seeing that no one cares about him, Sanji suddenly jumped up from the ground and cursed at everyone, but everyone was eating peacefully.
Looking at the newspaper in her hand, Nami’s complexion slightly changed, and some cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Obviously, she didn’t know what to do.
“Hey, Nami, don’t say anything. Be careful, it’s better not to let Vivi know about this.”
Nami’s eyes slanted. It was Lin Tian who was drinking the coffee in his hand and said in a voice that only the two could hear. Nami nodded, pretending to flip over the newspaper as usual.
At this time, Vivi suddenly asked: “Nami, is there anything important in the newspaper?”
The sudden question made Nami panic and almost dropped the newspaper in her hand. She quickly turned a few pages, pretending to be calm and said: “It’s nothing, it’s all not important.”
Although I think there is something wrong with Nami, Vivi didn’t pursue it, and continued to turn around and help Lin Tian clean the dishes.
Ah…
Suddenly, Luffy tapped the table, let out a cry of surprise, and jumped off the already nervous Nami.
Pointing to a small area in the newspaper, he shouted in surprise: “Hey, Lin Tian, Zoro, look! Look here!”
Hearing Luffy’s call, Lin Tian and Zoro looked at each other in confusion. They quickly moved their heads to see what made Luffy scream.
Looking at where Luffy was pointing, Nami turned around and said in a puzzled way: “Luffy, why, frightened and fl.u.s.tered, isn’t it a picture of Marine?”
Pointing to the middle of the photo, Luffy said with a smile: “Well, but there are incredible people on it.”
Looking at the photo, both Lin Tian and Zoro were surprised, and said in unison: “Isn’t this Koby?”
“Didn’t expect that the brat who refused to work hard to enter Marine Headquarters at the time, has achieved his dream.” Lin Tian looked at the photo; at Koby, who was looked like was suffering from fear. Lin Tian couldn’t help but smile.
“Koby… isn’t he the friend you mentioned last time?” Nami once heard Lin Tian and Luffy talk about this name.
“Yes,” Luffy urged eagerly: “Hurry up, Nami, what’s written on it.”
“Vice Admiral Garp’s Battleship arrived at Marine’s headquarters. The photo was taken while crossing the Reverse Mountain. Vice Admiral Garp still has an expression that can’t be restrained. The young soldiers who saw him became like being afraid of losing their heads out of fear, that’s about it.”
Kang Dang!
The crisp sound resounded suddenly in the kitchen. The tea cup in Lin Tian’s hand fell heavily to the ground, and the splashed fragments and coffee were scattered on the floor.
Everyone was stunned when they watched this scene. Time seemed to stop at this moment.
After staying with Lin Tian for so long, everyone knows that no matter what the situation is, it is difficult to see the panic on Lin Tian’s face. The bigger the crisis, the calmer he is, like everything is always in his grasps.
But now, Lin Tian, just because of a few short words, the coffee cup in his hand fell. Everyone’s hearts are full of shock and confusion.
Who knows how long it has pa.s.sed, Lin Tian suddenly got up, leaving a sentence while walking outside, “I have something to do outside for a while.”
When Lin Tian’s back disappeared, everyone reacted. Usopp asked with a look of puzzledness: “What? Why?”
Looking at the broken coffee cup on the ground, Zoro said solemnly: “Although I don’t know what happened, it should be related to the piece of news that Nami read just now.”
Standing Sanji took a mouthful of smoke and echoed: “Every mistake in the past, Lin Tian was fine. But after listening to that pa.s.sage, so much change happened to him…?”
Nami’s eyes scanned the words she had read several times, but not at all what was strange, “There’s no problem I think, so how can Lin Tian be like this?”
“I think I might know the reason!”
Vivi’s opening made everyone hurriedly focused their attention on Vivi. Obviously, everyone was very curious about the reason.
With hands on her knees, Vivi whispered: “This should be related to the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, Vice Admiral Garp, which is said in that. Vice Admiral Garp is the teacher of big brother Lin Tian. According to big brother Lin Tian, he was caught on the pirate ship in a pirate ma.s.sacre ten years ago. He was rescued by Vice Admiral Garp and finally worshipped Vice Admiral Garp as his teacher. In the past ten years, in Marine, big brother Lin Tian has been able to reach the same level as Vice Admiral Garp was in the past. It can be said that in many ways, he has been helped by Vice Admiral Garp. In big brother Lin Tian’s mind, he no longer thinks of Vice Admiral Garp as his teacher, but treat as a grandfather.”
Hearing this recount, in everyone’s minds, they have gradually guessed why Lin Tian became like that.
“Big brother Lin Tian can be regarded as the pride of Vice Admiral Garp. He has become the strongest genius in Marine and has lived up to his expectations. He has become the strongest Marine soldier and a Marine Admiral at the age of twenty. “
“Marine Admiral!” everyone shouted in surprise.
The cigarette in Sanji’s mouth fell in fright. “Vivi, you said Lin Tian was Marine Admiral at the time, but wasn’t he a Marine Vice Admiral?”
Everyone quickly agreed and nodded. Sanji’s question can be said to be the voice of everyone. Lin Tian previously said that he is Marine Vice Admiral.
“How do I say it? …In fact, when big brother Lin Tian defected, it was when he was going to be promoted to Marine Admiral, but because he betrayed the Marine, he was only considered a Marine Vice Admiral.”
After listening to Vivi’s statement, everyone couldn’t help being silent, and everyone could feel Lin Tian’s mood at this time. His own teacher had hoped that he would become a Marine soldier and tried his best to train him, but Lin Tian has now betrayed the Marine.
On the deck, Lin Tian leaned on the railing. The oncoming sea breeze blowing at him. Staring at the sea in front of him.
But the mind was elsewhere, riding the sea breeze, moving towards the distance, drifting across islands full of adventures, drifting to the Marine Headquarters.
Smelly old man, how are you at this time?
