Lin Yu received Brook’s Revive-Revive Fruit and reached Eight-Star combat power while preparing for the Summit War. Reiju told him Kalifa’s team was returning, and Lin Yu wondered whether the enormous Thriller Bark could be coated for the voyage to Fish-Man Island.

• Lin Yu obtained Brook’s Revive-Revive Fruit and stored it for a possible second life during the Summit War.
• Lin Yu read that the three Admirals were reportedly at Sabaody, blamed Queen for spreading the news, and studied a map to plan his approach to Marine Headquarters.

• Lin Yu asked Reiju whether the enormous Thriller Bark could be coated.

• After Katakuri called back and offered to let Lin Yu choose the time and place for the exchange, Lin Yu demanded that Snamon be added alongside Smoothie.

• Smoothie went to where Page One was held, intending to complete the trade with Lin Yu and help Katakuri leave the crew.
