Chapter 81: Sengoku and Garp Team Up, Golden Lion Treatment

Facing the silent Garp and the simmering anger of Sengoku, who was on the verge of erupting like a volcano, Lin Yan immediately raised his hand. "Hey, Marshal, don't misunderstand. I'm not talking about you guys. I'm just expressing my thoughts and standing up for my vice-captain! If there's anything offensive, please forgive me."

Lin Yan's expression was harmless, full of apologies. Sengoku's already dark face turned even darker. This groveling look made him lose his patience. "Are you done talking?"

"Honestly, I'm not finished yet!" Lin Yan shook his head. "You're right, our Navy has indeed made many mistakes. We've had to do many wrong things along the way, hurting many innocent people. But compared to us, how much better are you pirates? Birds of a feather, a group of heartless villains causing chaos. What right do you have to criticize us? Today, in this paramount war, the Navy must win, and we will win! Garp, do you understand?"

Sengoku rebuked with a steady voice, his words directed at Lin Yan and also at Garp. Silent until now, Garp gradually lifted his head. Since the outbreak of the paramount war, a heavy burden weighed on him. He knew he had to fight for the Navy. Garp was the Navy's Vice Admiral, the Navy's hero, the Navy's pillar, and an unshakable figure in Marineford! With this thought, his eyes became more resolute. "I understand!" Garp said.

Lin Yan fell silent. He realized his verbal tactics seemed to have met their match. He had just hinted at the Navy to dissuade Garp from fighting for them, to prevent him from attacking him. But what happened? Sengoku countered with motivation. Garp's dispirited look vanished. Instantly, his fighting spirit was reignited. This Marshal was really something!

Of course, Lin Yan wasn't going to do nothing. He was ready to continue his verbal tactics, persuading Garp. But at that moment, Sengoku pointed at Lin Yan, forcibly interrupting him. "Enough talk, if you want to fight, let's fight! For Marineford, for the glory of the Navy!"

With Sengoku's words, the scene instantly became a clash of "Horde and Alliance." Simultaneously, he grabbed his Marshal's robe behind him and tore it off, revealing the tight muscles underneath. "As long as I'm here, you won't get near the execution platform!"

Seeing this, Garp also tore off his Vice Admiral's robe. The two stood like mountains in front of Lin Yan. The wind howled, waves roared. The terrifying momentum ignited the entire Marineford and Lin Yan's verbal tactics were interrupted, especially seeing the two like this. A look of regret appeared in his eyes. It seemed this battle was inevitable!

Lin Yan's aura began to rise. It was like three bubbles expanding on the scene, colliding and pressing against each other. In the midst of this tense standoff, the most shocked ones were the Whitebeard Pirates on the scene at Marineford.

"Captain Lin... is going to fight Garp and Sengoku?"

"What? Those are two top Navy forces!"

"I admit Captain Lin is strong, but that's Garp and Sengoku! The two of them together even defeated the Golden Lion."

"To be honest, even if our old man went up, he might end up like the Golden Lion."

"Can Captain Lin hold on?"

"He has to, we, the Whitebeard Pirates, can't help him!"

Seeing this scene, all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates began to worry. Even those fighting the Navy were a bit distracted, nervously sweating for Lin Yan.

"Daring to challenge the Marshal and Hero Garp, truly not knowing the height of the sky!"

"Fool's dream."

"Let's see how you die later!"

The Navy sneered endlessly. Each one looked at Lin Yan as if he were a clown. In their view, no pirate could be a match for Garp and Sengoku together.

"Fufufufu! This captain is interesting, does he not fear the tiger?" Doflamingo glanced at Lin Yan, sneering.

"Better worry about yourself first!" Crocodile, with a sand blade, slashed at Doflamingo's head!

"Hmm? Has Garp and Sengoku started fighting?" As the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk also noticed the situation on the battlefield. The current opponents, Luffy and Buggy, were no match for him, so he didn't need to take them seriously. "This is one of the rare occasions that can make two elder-level Navy figures join hands! I'm quite looking forward to it!"

The pirate empress Boa Hancock, so far unchallenged, with her black hair cascading and long legs stepping out, took this moment to glance towards Lin Yan.

It wasn't just Marineford. The whole world was witnessing the upcoming battle.

In fact, if it was just dealing with a new captain, Sengoku wouldn't need to step in; Garp alone would be enough. But seeing the strength of Fujitora and Ryokugyu, Sengoku deeply realized that the new captain in front of him was far from simple! No joke, being able to recruit two admiral-level powerhouses under him! If he didn't have enough strength, it wouldn't make sense.

So, rather than letting Garp tangle with him, which would leave the Navy short of a top force, it was better for him and Garp to join hands and first eliminate this new Whitebeard captain! The Whitebeard Pirates had already lost one arm, Whitebeard himself. If the two of them jointly dealt with Lin, then the scales of victory in this war would tilt towards the Navy!

 When the momentum was almost ready, the first to attack was the Navy hero, Iron Fist Garp! Swinging his fist the size of a sandbag, Garp disappeared in a flash. In an instant, he appeared in front of Lin Yan. Raising his huge fist, bringing with it the sound of a sonic boom, he struck. The power within was boundless. Covered in Armament Haki, Lin Yan also met the attack with his fists.
