Chapter 166

[Ding! Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit, valued at 4.33 billion Berries. Edward Newgate’s bounty is valued at 5.046 billion Berries. Obtaining this Devil Fruit will grant an additional 716 million Berries.]

[Do you wish to obtain?]

"Standing tall even in death..."

In mid-air, Lin Yu squinted his eyes as he looked at Whitebeard’s headless corpse, which was still standing upright.

Afterward, he dropped a smoke bomb, and under the cover of the smoke, he took Nami into the different dimension and vanished from everyone’s sight.

Having obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Besides, he didn't want to be an idiot like Blackbeard, actively exposing his own abilities and drawing the wariness of others.

The feat of killing Whitebeard alone was enough to make him world-famous; there was no need to expose his other abilities.

After all, Sengoku was willing to cooperate with him now, not only because his style of doing things wouldn't harm civilians and Marines, but also because his current threat level was relatively low.

"Whitebeard is dead?"

"God-Slayer Lin Yu actually killed Whitebeard?"

"Does this mean we’ve won?"

Along with these questions, a massive cheer erupted from the Marine camp.

Although Whitebeard was killed by God-Slayer Lin Yu, for them, the Marines, as long as Whitebeard was dead, it meant they could end this war very soon.

"He really is cautious."

Seeing Lin Yu vanish again, Akainu frowned and continued to chase after Straw Hat Luffy and the others.

Since he couldn't catch Lin Yu’s trail, he would first eliminate the son of the Revolutionary Dragon.

And seeing Whitebeard’s death, the Whitebeard Pirates began to flee in a panic once more.

Only Vista was leading a group of division commanders to intercept Akainu, preventing him from dealing a lethal blow to Straw Hat Luffy.

And seeing Lin Yu stop Whitebeard from shouting those words, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief.

Suppressing the Impel Down prisoners, stopping the Level 6 escape, killing Ace, and killing Whitebeard in time.

Every single thing Lin Yu did today helped him solve quite a few troubles.

If only he were a Marine... hmm, he had to let Tina try to guide him toward the good side.

Thinking this, Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi and instructed all the Marines:

"Whitebeard is dead."

"But the war is not over yet. Continue to eliminate the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates. You must wipe them out; they must not be allowed to return to the New World."

"I repeat, target the Whitebeard Pirates, attack with full force!!!"

Only by completely annihilating the Whitebeard Pirates in this war and achieving an absolute victory could they best deter those pirates and bring a stable life to civilians all over the world.

Of course, Sengoku’s words had another layer of meaning: don't worry about God-Slayer Lin Yu; the Marines’ current target was the Whitebeard Pirates.

Ordinary Marines wouldn't understand the meaning of his words, but Aokiji, Kizaru, and Tsuru would certainly understand.

Lin Yu’s elusive ability was too strange; Sengoku didn't want to offend the other party before he understood it clearly.

"Roar!!!"

All the Marines roared excitedly.

Whitebeard’s death boosted the morale of all the Marines.

"Sengoku, that guy, must have some connection with God-Slayer Lin Yu."

Recalling Tina’s broadcast statement just now, Marine Vice Admiral Tsuru muttered softly.

The other Marine Vice Admirals looked at each other, didn't say much, and continued to chase and annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates.

Subsequently, the Marines’ gunfire and the Pacifistas’ laser beams launched attacks on the remaining pirates once again.

And the remaining pirates also launched counterattacks, attempting to seize Marine warships to escape the area.

"Time to go back."

Seeing Whitebeard dead, Mihawk, who was dueling Crocodile, sheathed his black blade Yoru behind his back and turned to leave.

Whitebeard and Ace were both dead, and Marco and Jozu had vanished; the outcome of this battle was already set.

Seeing Mihawk leave, Crocodile took a puff of his cigar and followed, carrying Mr. 1, who had been severely wounded by Mihawk’s casual slash.

"Mihawk, can I hitch a ride?"

In Crocodile’s view, the annihilation of the Whitebeard Pirates was a foregone conclusion, so he should think about retreating, and leaving with Mihawk was the best option.

Mihawk glanced at Crocodile and said nothing.

Seeing this, Crocodile grinned.

"Thanks."

Inside the different dimension.

"Pops!!!"

Seeing Whitebeard dead, Marco and Diamond Jozu lost all fighting spirit and burst into tears.

Seeing them like this, Smoothie and Ulti stopped attacking.

Determined to become the strongest, they didn't want to take advantage of someone in their moment of grief.

Seeing this, Lin Yu ordered: "Put Sea-Prism Stone cuffs on them and lock them in the cells. From now on, they will be sparring partners for Smoothie and Ulti."

Anyway, Marco and Jozu couldn't escape his grasp, so he didn't need to rush to obtain the Devil Fruits from them right now.

Letting the two serve as sparring partners for Smoothie and Ulti could quickly improve their strength, maximizing the value of Marco and Jozu.

Seeing Reiju go to put Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs on Marco and Jozu, Robin walked to Lin Yu’s side and said:

"Tina’s side has already engaged the Blackbeard Pirates."

"Should we continue to capture the remaining targets, or go help Tina and the others?"

Hearing Robin’s question, Lin Yu asked back:

"Robin, what do you think I should do?"

Robin cast her gaze toward Akainu, who was chasing Straw Hat, and said:

"You have already obtained Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Ace’s Flame-Flame Fruit, and Marco and Jozu have already been captured. Our main purpose for coming to the Summit War has basically been fulfilled."

"The only remaining targets are Crocodile with the Logia Sand-Sand Fruit, Smoker with the Logia Smoke-Smoke Fruit, Ivankov, and Hawkins."

"You certainly won't hunt Smoker, and Crocodile is leaving with Mihawk, so he’s not easy to hunt."

"Ivankov is with Jinbe and Hawkins and is being chased by Akainu; if we go, we might draw Akainu’s attention to us, which isn't suitable for hunting either."

"Therefore, I suggest we go find the Blackbeard Pirates first; the Devil Fruit abilities they possess are not bad either."

Hearing Robin’s analysis, Lin Yu cast his gaze toward the battlefield in the real world.

At this time, the Whitebeard Pirates had scattered and were being chased and killed by the Marines, while the remaining division commanders were following Straw Hat Luffy, helping him distract Akainu, and Jinbe, Ivankov, and others were doing the same.

The situation on the field was basically as Robin had said.

As for Doflamingo, Lin Yu didn't take him to heart.

For one, the String-String Fruit was too weak; even awakened, it couldn't beat Gear 4 Luffy; the ceiling was too low.

For another, Doflamingo still had a use for Lin Yu, so taking him down now wasn't appropriate.

Suddenly, Lin Yu flew into mid-air and looked toward the sea in the distance in the real world.

There, a giant pirate ship appeared, and on the bow stood one of the Emperors of the Sea in the New World—the Four Emperor Shanks.

"So he really came."

Seeing Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, appear as scheduled, Lin Yu sighed.

Afterward, he instructed Robin:

"Have Reiju and the others capture Tashigi; we are returning to Impel Down."

"Smoothie, Nami, and Ulti will come with me to find the Blackbeard Pirates; everyone else, get on the Ark Maxim and be ready to leave at any time."

Since the Red Hair Pirates had arrived, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

"Understood."

Robin nodded and walked toward Reiju, who had already put Sea-Prism Stone cuffs on Marco and Jozu.

And Lin Yu, taking Smoothie, Ulti, and Nami, headed toward the location of the Blackbeard Pirates, preparing to harvest a few more Devil Fruits.
