Chapter 82: What Ability is This Division Captain Using?

"Bang!"

Fists collided.

Garp's bone-crushing punch slammed down, shattering the ground beneath Lin Yan and forming a massive crater.

After the strike, Garp retreated ten full steps. Lin Yan also took a few steps back before managing to steady himself.

However, before he could regain his footing, a golden light flared up behind him. Sengoku had somehow circled around, fully transformed by his Devil Fruit power. His entire body radiated a golden divine light, Buddha's glory shining brilliantly and blindingly. To everyone in Marineford, Sengoku appeared like a deity, majestic and awe-inspiring.

He raised his golden Buddha's fist and charged at Lin Yan again! Just after repelling Garp, Sengoku followed up with another attack. As longtime comrades-in-arms, Garp and Sengoku's teamwork was flawless!

"Boom!"

In just the first exchange, Lin Yan was blasted away. The ground was once again scarred with long trenches. Lin Yan shook his aching arm. Even though Garp and Sengoku were older, they remained the pillars of the Navy. Under their joint assault, Lin Yan was in serious trouble. Facing one top-tier fighter was already a challenge, let alone two! Most importantly, their years of mutual understanding made their combined strength far exceed the sum of their parts.

Before Lin Yan could catch his breath, Garp and Sengoku resumed their attacks, an onslaught of fists and blows, giving him no respite. For a moment, under their combined assault, Lin Yan was suppressed. He couldn't find an opening! Fifty rounds passed in a flash, and Lin Yan was once again forced back. During this, due to a moment's carelessness, he took a solid punch from Garp. Garp's punch was not something easily withstood. The terrifying power and explosive force behind it caused blood to immediately trickle from Lin Yan's mouth. He looked particularly battered.

Seeing Lin Yan wounded by Sengoku and Garp, the Whitebeard Pirates were stunned. In their memory, Lin Yan was invincible, sweeping through the Whitebeard Pirates, even the captains couldn't take him down. From start to finish, they had never seen this man injured. But quickly, everyone snapped back to reality! After all, it was Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Iron Fist Garp! Across the entire sea, how many could withstand the combined pressure of these two titans?

And most crucially, in the current situation, no one could help Lin Yan! What to do? What should they do? They were anxious, like ants on a hot pan. Even Whitebeard, usually composed, showed a fluctuating expression. Facing the joint force of Garp and Sengoku, even in his prime, he would tread cautiously. Similarly, seeing Lin Yan struggling against Garp and Sengoku, the Navy's confidence surged. Facing their Fleet Admiral and Garp, where did he get his confidence from? The Navy's members looked at Lin Yan with increasing disdain.

"Is this the end?" Mihawk, after pushing back Luffy and Buggy with a single slash, looked towards Lin Yan and said.

"That's all he has..." Moriah sneered.

"Heh heh heh heh, it seems he's done for!" Doflamingo commented. In front of Doflamingo, Crocodile remained silent.

While the Whitebeard Pirates were worried, the Navy was disdainful, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea thought this commander was finished.

Lin Yan wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Sengoku and Garp. He sighed, "No wonder you are Navy legends, your strength is extraordinary. I now understand the pressure Golden Lion faced back then!"

Honestly, Lin Yan wanted to have a good fight, blow for blow, with them. Unfortunately, the pain in his fists and the numbness in his body made him shake his head. Garp's iron fist wasn't something ordinary people could handle!

"In that case, surrender!" Garp pointed at Lin Yan.

"Surrender? That's out of the question, the outcome is still undecided!" Lin Yan smiled, the fighting spirit in his eyes rising. His opponents were Sengoku and Garp, two of the Navy's top figures. To get past them, he had to go all out today! Actually, he could use the Mangekyou's Kamui Space to have a high chance of rescuing Ace. Of course, it was only a high probability, as the Navy's top fighters were formidable. At least Sengoku and Garp in front of him wouldn't sit idly by. Moreover, doing so would take away a lot of the fun. Taking this rare chance to experience Golden Lion's treatment, Lin Yan was determined to go all out today!

He finished speaking. A red light flashed in his eyes, the distinctive tomoe of the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared. At the same time the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power manifested. He activated Haki to its fullest extent. At this moment, Lin Yan was at his peak state. Since crossing into the world of One Piece, this was Lin Yan's first time showing his full strength!

"Hmph, if you won't surrender, then I'll make you submit!" Sengoku stepped forward, his golden Buddha's fist once again charging at Lin Yan.

"Bring it on!" Lin Yan didn't retreat. With a toe on the ground, he rushed towards Sengoku. The two collided like rockets. Sengoku's Buddha fist aimed straight at Lin Yan's face. However, just as the fist was about to hit Lin Yan, Sengoku's expression changed slightly. His fist passed right through Lin Yan's head. Elementalization? Sengoku's heart skipped a beat, immediately recognizing Lin Yan's technique. To evade his fist, what other than a Logia-type Devil Fruit's elementalization?

But the next second, Sengoku's eyes widened. Impossible, absolutely impossible! His fist was coated with Haki. Haki was a counter to Logia-type Devil Fruits, negating their elementalization. Elementalization was useless against Haki. It could be controlled at will. But in this situation, his Haki-covered fist had passed through Lin Yan's body. Seeing this, Sengoku was stunned.

Why? Why did this happen? Isn't your ability Logia-type Devil Fruit's elementalization? No. It made no sense. If it's not elementalization, how did my fist pass through his body? Sengoku's face showed shock. In that instant, he thought of dozens of possibilities. The conclusion: This defied logic!

Sengoku was shaken. This new captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. What ability was he using?
