Capítulo 7: Chapter 7: Sixteenth Division Captain Izou
"Oh?"
Izou realized Lin Yan misunderstood them.
He initially planned to clarify.
However, soon, Izou remembered Lin Yan's strength.
A smile played on his lips, turning into a "Smirking Dragon King."
"Since you said so, let me test your strength!"
Izou didn't clarify the misunderstanding.
He came to see Lin Yan for two reasons.
First, to test his strength.
Second, if Lin Yan was as strong as he seemed, the Sixteenth Division wouldn't mind inviting him to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
After Izou agreed, the vice-captain and the crew exchanged amused looks.
Whitebeard's division commanders were renowned for their strength.
Even the lowest-ranked Izou commanded respect on the Grand Line.
Dueling their division commander? Are you out of your mind?
The crew shook their heads.
Despite Lin Yan's overnight annihilation of the Battle Axe Pirate Crew, people remained skeptical of his chances against Captain Izou.
"There's going to be quite a spectacle!"
"Challenging Captain Izou? This guy has guts."
"I can't wait to see the shocked look on his face later."
"He's in for trouble!"
The vice-captain and crew members grinned as they stepped back, clearing a space for the showdown.
Izou suddenly drew his twin pistols, spinning them around his fingers before gripping them tightly.
"Blades and bullets know no mercy. Be careful," Izou said with a confident smile.
He was exceptionally sure of his strength, which was why he held the position of division captain.
"You're rather courteous!" Lin Yan responded.
"No more talking, let's get started!" Izou said casually, flexing his wrist.
The two faced each other in the cleared space. An invisible tension enveloped them. Izou smiled but said nothing.
In an instant, he launched forward, the sand beneath his foot indenting as he shot toward Lin Yan like an arrow.
"Whoosh!" In a flash, he was in front of Lin Yan, aiming his gun at Lin Yan's head.
"Bang!!"
The muzzle flared as the bullet shot straight for Lin Yan. In that moment, Lin Yan tilted his head slightly, and the bullet grazed past him.
"He dodged it?"
Izou, an expert marksman, was lightning-fast when drawing his gun. But he dismissed it and closed in again, aiming a kick at Lin Yan, who dodged again.
"Oh? His speed is impressive!" Izou nodded approvingly.
When an expert moves, it's clear if they have skill. No wonder Lin Yan could eliminate the Battleaxe Pirates. Regardless, keeping up with his speed earned Izou's respect.
"Let's see how strong you really are!" Izou suddenly accelerated, increasing both his speed and power.
Facing the sudden attack, Lin Yan remained calm, moving just enough to narrowly evade all of Izou's strikes.
"Hmm?"
As a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Izou sensed that Lin Yan's strength was extraordinary. It's like attacking a boss only to see a series of "miss" indicators. This guy wasn't simple!
The other members of the Sixteenth Division also noticed, their eyes flashing with surprise.
"We underestimated him."
"I have to admit, this Lin guy has some skill."
"He's keeping up with the captain's speed!"
As the others voiced their opinions, Lin Yan looked at them with slight astonishment and said, "I didn't expect you guys from the Tomahawk Pirates to have some strength. You've opened my eyes!"
From beginning to end, Lin Yan considered his opponents as members of the Tomahawk Pirates.
His statement left the Sixteenth Division members looking at each other.
Did he... really not recognize that Izou was a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates?
When did our captain become so unknown?
"Again!" Lin Yan's calm demeanor ignited Izou's fighting spirit. He drew his twin pistols again, unleashing a rain of bullets.
This time, the angles of Izou's shots were particularly tricky, targeting Lin Yan's blind spots. Regardless of his actions, there would always be a bullet aimed at him. Besides the twin pistols, Izou's close-combat skills were formidable. He moved swiftly, and in a flash, was in front of Lin Yan, delivering a whip kick.
Lin Yan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Captain-level strength from the Whitebeard Pirates was fully displayed. He hesitated briefly. Were there really such strong people among the remnants of the Tomahawk Crew?
If there were such strong individuals, why was the bounty just 150 million?
However, Lin Yan quickly regained his composure, smiling faintly. Regardless of who it was, the outcome would be the same!
Facing Izou's attack, Lin Yan continued dodging, all attacks missing. Izou became anxious and increased his speed, hoping to overwhelm Lin Yan with speed.
But in terms of speed, how many could match the Goro Goro no Mi?
If Admiral Kizaru's Pika Pika no Mi made him as fast as light, Lin Yan's Goro Goro no Mi could theoretically approach light speed!
In that moment, Lin Yan moved at the speed of light.
