Chapter 167: I

Inside the different dimension of the Door-Door Fruit.

"She looks decent, but her strength is too poor. I don't know what Lin Yu sees in her. Does he prefer girls with glasses?"

Reiju looked at Tashigi, who was following other Marines to chase pirates in the real world, and turned to ask Robin beside her.

In her view, Tashigi’s strength was too poor; she probably couldn't even beat Anna or Charlos, so she felt there was no need for her to board the ship.

"Hehe."

Hearing this, Robin covered her mouth and laughed. "I’m not sure about that."

Nojiko asked curiously: "Speaking of which, Sister Reiju, Sister Robin, do you know Lin Yu’s criteria for choosing people to board the ship?"

Nojiko still remembered Lin Yu traveling all the way from the North Blue to the East Blue just to have her board the ship.

At that time, she was just an ordinary person, her strength not even as good as Tashigi’s now; the only thing she had going for her was her looks.

To this day, Nojiko couldn't figure out why Lin Yu traveled so far to find her to board the ship; the same went for Sister Makino and Kaya.

Hearing Nojiko’s question, Reiju and Robin were both stunned.

They hadn't really thought about this question before.

Cinnamon on the side said strangely: "Isn't it strength?"

"No."

Reiju directly shook her head and denied Cinnamon’s guess.

If it were really strength, Lin Yu wouldn't have traveled all the way to the East Blue to find Nojiko and the others.

Robin added: "And it doesn't seem to be because of beauty either."

You have to know, the beauties Lin Yu met along the way were not limited to them; if beauty were the condition, the ship would have been overcrowded long ago.

Moreover, Lin Yu had now become the ruler of the Sky Island, and Alabasta, where Vivi was, could also be considered his sphere of influence.

If he really wanted beauties, he could just hold a kingdom pageant in these two places and collect countless beauties, making use of those Devil Fruits.

Since Lin Yu didn't do that, there must be another reason.

"Forget it, let’s capture Tashigi first."

After thinking for a while without understanding, Reiju decided not to spend any more effort on it.

Subsequently, Reiju instructed:

"Cinnamon, open a small door. Nojiko, take the opportunity to throw a smoke bomb out to block everyone’s line of sight."

Although she didn't know if anyone had seen them when they captured Marco and Jozu, the Door-Door Fruit’s Air Door was very easy for sneak attacks. Reiju prepared to follow Lin Yu’s lead and try to keep this ability hidden as much as possible.

"Okay." Cinnamon and Nojiko nodded at the same time.

Not long after, a smoke bomb suddenly appeared at the feet of Tashigi, who was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Whitebeard Pirates, enveloping her.

"Mr. Smoker..."

Suddenly enveloped by smoke, Tashigi thought Smoker had arrived and called out.

As soon as she called out, several arms suddenly sprouted on her body, binding her in place.

"Nico Robin?"

Seeing the arms suddenly growing on her body, Tashigi was shocked; she had been taught a lesson by Nico Robin before.

Then, Tashigi suddenly felt herself grabbed by a hand and dragged into a strange space.

And at this moment, on the chaotic battlefield, Tashigi’s disappearance didn't attract anyone’s attention.

"Let me go, why are you capturing me!"

In the different dimension, Tashigi was held by Reiju and struggled continuously.

Reiju glanced at her and knocked her unconscious with a hand-chop.

"Mission accomplished, let’s go."

Casually tossing Tashigi to Cinnamon, Reiju took everyone and left directly, returning to the Ark Maxim to wait for Lin Yu’s return.

On the other side.

Lin Yu arrived at the rear battlefield of Marineford with Smoothie, Ulti, and Nami, only to find that the battle had already ended.

Boa Hancock, Tina, and others were standing on the shore, staring intently at a certain spot.

Following their gaze, Lin Yu discovered that Blackbeard’s group was sitting on their log raft, fleeing desperately, and behind them, Garp was directing a Marine warship in pursuit.

Is this the strength of the Hero of the Marines? That’s a bit fierce!!!

Seeing this scene, Smoothie and Ulti were both shocked.

And Lin Yu opened the Den Den Mushi to ask Tina for the reason.

It turned out that after receiving Lin Yu’s request, Boa Hancock immediately rushed here with Tina to intercept Blackbeard.

And the overconfident Blackbeard Pirates, upon seeing the great beauty Boa Hancock, couldn't help but tease her.

Facing the filthy language of the Blackbeard Pirates, the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock was directly enraged.

Then, Vasco Shot and Avalo Pizarro were petrified on the spot by Boa Hancock.

Seeing this, Blackbeard Teach immediately prepared to take his men to kill Boa Hancock and seize her Love-Love Fruit.

Afterward, Garp arrived in time and began to attack Blackbeard’s group.

Facing Garp, the grief-stricken Hero of the Marines, and Boa Hancock, the Warlord with a bug-like ability, as well as Tina and the others, the Blackbeard Pirates were beaten back step by step.

And upon learning of Whitebeard’s death, Blackbeard Teach retreated directly and fled to the sea.

Hearing Tina’s explanation, Lin Yu suddenly realized.

Blackbeard’s Dark-Dark Fruit really couldn't gain any advantage against a top-tier physical fighter like Garp.

And Boa Hancock’s strength was enough to hold back Shiryu of the Rain; the remaining Tina and the others could handle the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Seeing the petrified Vasco Shot and Avalo Pizarro, Lin Yu couldn't help but gasp.

Although Boa Hancock’s strength didn't reach the Admiral level, because of her peerless beauty, she brought the Love-Love Fruit’s bug-like ability to the extreme.

So even if she wasn't as strong as an Admiral or Four Emperor, she was definitely in a class of her own below the Admiral/Four Emperor level.

Being able to instantly take down two high-ranking officers of the Blackbeard Pirates, this strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

No wonder Sengoku’s evaluation of Boa Hancock was so high; when this woman got serious, she really wasn't someone easily dealt with by anyone below the Admiral/Four Emperor level.

On the front battlefield of Marineford.

Akainu repelled the remaining division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates and used magma as propulsion, successfully catching up to Jinbe, who was running wildly while holding Luffy.

Seeing Straw Hat Luffy in Jinbe’s arms, Akainu said coldly:

"Jinbe, leave Straw Hat Luffy behind!"

"Trash who doesn't follow the righteous path has no right to exist in this world."

"I cannot comply!" Jinbe carried Straw Hat Luffy and fled for his life, panting.

Jinbe knew he was no match for Akainu, so he had no choice but to flee.

As long as he could reach the sea, it would be his home turf.

"In that case, then both of you go to hell together!"

After saying this, Akainu leaped toward Jinbe and struck his back with a punch.

Great Eruption!

Boom!

The crimson fist was blocked by a longsword, erupting in a roar and a shockwave.

Red-Haired Shanks stood in front of Jinbe, looked at Akainu, and said in a deep voice:

"I’m here to end this war."
