Chapter 248
“What! Lin Tian, that Marine genius.”
“It’s him, how could it be possible that this person is the Marine genius in the rumor?”
“Isn’t he already dead? How could he appear in East Blue, and he just happened to meet us?”
Even the Fishman who escaped from the Grand Line in the past can’t help but utter a deep shock.
Lin Tian! This name was too loud on Grand Line eight years ago. As long as people who have stayed on Grand Line will never forget that name. This name appeared in countless populations and was talked about by countless people after dinner.
Even if it’s them, who live more than 10,000 meters under the sea, don’t know how many human pirates who come and go, have heard of the name Lin Tian, and that year was Lin Tian’s name shining on the Grand Line for one year.
Seeing this, Lin Tian’s eyes flashed puzzled, and it stands to reason that these Fishman shouldn’t know his name. I came to One Piece World ten years ago, and spent a year training in Marine.
Nine years ago, I went to sea. At that time, I entered the Grand Line and spent a year. Promoted from Marine Captain to Marine Colonel at that time I should not be that famous. After that, I was promoted by the b.a.s.t.a.r.ds in Marine headquarters, and I became famous, which was considered seven years ago.
From this point of view, the timeline is a little bit wrong. Lin Tian immediately fainted. Originally thought that these Fishman who escaped from Grand Line would no longer understand Grand Line’s affairs, why do they still know Lin Tian’s name?
Not to mention that Lin Tian was not dizzy there, anyway, Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji were taken aback. Everyone was blinded.
“Lin Tian, aren’t you pirate?” Usopp put his head in his hands, and asked in astonishment: “How come you suddenly become pirate? What’s going on, Luffy?”
“Lin Tian used to be Marine, and he betrayed them, but I took him to be my deputy captain.” For Luffy, it was a proud thing to be able to pull Lin Tian on his ship.
Looking at that figure, Nami whispered softly: “He is not only Marine, but also Marine genius. It turns out that everything he said is true.”
Genzo showed shock on his face, “This pirate was a Marine genius…”
Pulling out the Chasing Wind from behind, Lin Tian flashed a murderous aura in his eyes, “Since you know my ident.i.ty, you can’t stay.”
After that, Lin Tian slowly lifts the Chasing Wind in his hand, an invisible sword aura, which surrounds the sword blade, like a swimming small dragon, which is very strange. The rust on the sword adds some kind of sacred light.
Two fishman cadres with soaring hair sticking to their heads, their serious faces are also full of fear, and tremblingly asked: “Arlong, what should we do? He is that kind of powerhouse. We have no hands against him. Would he even budge?”
There is no need for this cadre to ask questions. Arlong’s face is also very ugly. Arlong is arrogant. He thinks that the Fishman race is higher than humans, but it does not mean he is stupid.
Don’t know this level expert Arlong, this kind of character only exists to look up, this is the man who surpa.s.ses the pinnacle of the entire Grand Line, especially the battle that day, he has established his position in one fell swoop.
“Why, I heard that you Fishman the most n.o.ble race. Using the advantages of fish and humans, surpa.s.sing the two races, why don’t you dare to try a trick against me, a human?”
The words were full of disdain and irony, but none of the Fishman present dared to refute him. Their words were only aimed at ordinary people. How could they dare to say such things in the face of a strong man like Lin Tian.
Among them, Arlong’s complexion was is even more ugly. Due to some reasons since childhood, Arlong was a complete racist.
Thinking that “Fish-men are inherently stronger than humans” and “human beings rebel against fish-men are tantamount to defying the laws of nature.” but facing Lin Tian’s questions, what can he say? Lin Tian standing here is a clear example of refuting him.
The level of masters like Lin Tian, among the human race is the top group, let alone the Fishman. Even if they look for one in their entire race group, they will not find Lin Tian. Their strongest maybe was Jinbe.
“Why don’t you say your trademark: ‘humans dominate the land, fish dominate the ocean, and you Fishman are just living between our two races, you dare to think of yourself as a higher race?"”
“Haha…” Arlong, who hadn’t spoken all the time, laughed and said: “Marine traitor Lin Tian, a powerhouse like you is embarra.s.sed to speak up with us.”
Hmph! Coldly snorted, the corner of Lin Tian’s mouth slightly jerked. He disdainfully said: “It seems that you who left the great route don’t know what kind of person I am.”
Slightly lifting surrounded the dragon-shaped vigorous Chasing Wind, “Nothing can stop me. Even if I have to make an enemy of the entire world.”
If this sentence were uttered from ordinary people, perhaps Arlong and the others would just pa.s.s it off with a disdain. But it did speak from the mouth of the person in front of him, because he had already done this with practical actions.
The battle that day slaughtered five World n.o.bles, shook the world, and shook the World n.o.ble’s status as G.o.ds. It let the world know that they were just some dying people who thought they were n.o.ble bloodlines. In fact, they were actually just some rubbish.
That day, he fiercely slapped the World Government in the face. The World Government, especially the Marine was wiped out on that island. It can be said that Lin Tian has done it to some extent as an enemy of the whole world.
“Who the h.e.l.l is he? To dare to speak such rampant words…” a doctor in the crowd behind him said with cold sweat.
Genzo said solemnly: “If it is really him, then he is indeed qualified to say such a thing.”
The scene fell into immersion. Under Lin Tian’s incomparable words, even those arrogant Fishman could only be so silent.
Da! A silhouette appeared beside Lin Tian and hit his arm. Luffy spoke softly: “Hey! Lin Tian, that’s not good. Leave the b.a.s.t.a.r.d to me.”
Light a cigarette, Sanji also walked up, “We can’t let Lin Tian steal all the limelight. We also cannot be trifled with.”
“Yes, Lin Tian, even if there is no swordsman in there, I still have to try out how strong is the Fishman from the Grand Line.” holding the handle of his sword. Zoro was looking forward.
Seeing that everyone came up, Usopp had no choice but to dull his head, and said with a trembling voice: “I don’t mind if Lin Tian solved everyone, but leave one for me…”
“You guys…” turned your head, looking at the four people behind, Lin Tian was taken aback.
Then, Lin Tian smiled slightly on his face, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and instantly thought of a lot and understood a lot. With a light wave of his right hand, the dragon-shaped vigor on the sword blade disappeared in the sky. The Chasing Wind was put back. Then, he turned and moved towards the crowd behind.
“Okay, I see. I’ll leave these to you. Hurry up. Our captain is going to become Pirate King. We will conquer the Grand Line in the future. Don’t let these pirates, which is the lowest of the Grand Line stop you.
“En!”
Lin Tian, who turned back and walked back. He showed a happy smile on his face. They are all people with the heart of powerhouse. Only such a crew member is qualified to embark on the journey to conquer the ocean.
However, they want to become stronger. This is not enough. They need to add some material to this battle, so that they are suitable for Luffy.
After walking past Nami, turning around to look at the Fishman, “Hey, Fishman! Now I’ll give you a chance to survive. Only you can defeat the four of them, I will not intervene. Everything depends on whether you can beat the four of them.”
Hearing Lin Tian’s words, these Fishman’s eyes immediately showed fierce gazes, staring at Luffy and them closely, which was exactly what Lin Tian expected.
Survival often stimulates people’s potential to a great extent. In order to survive, these Fishman battle strengths will also increase a lot, even those who were considered ordinary Fishman.
Only the four reacted unceasingly. Luffy still had a calm face, and Zoro showed expectation. Sanji still took a somewhat arrogant att.i.tude, Usopp’s brow was full of beads of sweat.
Usopp cursed secretly in his heart: “Lin Tian, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, the three of them are perverted. I am so weak. If I confront these Fishman, I will be over.”
“Give Arlong to me.”
“I’ll take the octopus leg. I heard that he’s a swordsman. I don’t know what level the Grand Line’s swordsman is.”
“That serious guy; leave it to me.”
“That… that…” Usopp looked left and right, and found that there was only one left for him, the Fishman who tried to kill him earlier, and he was immediately blinded.
Luffy directly lifted his fist, moved towards Arlong on the ground, and walked away. It really belongs to the captain’s battle. No one can intervene, only the captain can solve it.
As Zoro who aspires to become the Greatest Swordsman in the World, after experiencing the war with Hawk Eyes, he has already understood how big the world is. The swordsmen from Grand Line are suitable for Zoro.
Although Luffy pulled Sanji on board, it was mainly because of his cooking skills, but it cannot be denied that Sanji is the third main force of Straw Hat pirates.
Usopp was a bit sad. He was a bit timid at first, let alone the Fishman who was facing just now, he was scared and ran back.
Lin Tian slipped slightly and stopped Usopp on the way forward, staring closely at his fearful eyes.
“Usopp, your father is a truly powerful man. If you are thinking of becoming a fighter like your father, then you turn back and fight.”
“-Dad!”
Usopp’s figure stopped immediately, and the whole person was taken aback, struggling for a few seconds, he turned around, pulled down the windproof eyes on the head, and quickly took out the slingshot in his hand and move in one go.
“Gunpowder Star”
TL note: Kayaku Boshi (Kayaku Boshi, literally meaning “Gunpowder Star”): Usopp fires a highly explosive pellet filled with gunpowder. As Sogeking, this is called Sogeking Gunpowder Star (Sogekingu Ganpaudā Sutā). In the English versions, this is called Exploding Star and sometimes Gunpowder Star.
Seeing the scene before him, everyone was shocked. Didn’t expect the timid Usopp would fire the first shot of the battle.
Zoro smiled slightly, a little surprised “Just what happened today, the timid Usopp is actually fighting.”
“Unexpectedly, the chance to show up was finally robbed by Usopp.”
“Oye! Yeah! Good, good, Usopp!”
“Ah!”
