After consuming the entire Devil Fruit, Ace was suddenly engulfed in massive flames.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan's strength was many times greater than Ace's, so Flame Clouds was unharmed; otherwise, Ace would probably have fallen.
"Alright, control your flames now, we can develop them gradually later!"
After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Ace withdrew the flames from his body, and his body also became stronger.
Feeling the energy within his body, Ace's face was filled with excitement as he stared in disbelief at the small flame still burning in his hand.
"Wow, that's amazing! Is this the power of Devil Fruit? That's incredible!"
Seeing Ace's excited smile, the Whitebeard Newgate couldn't help but feel happy for him, but he still reminded him.
" Ace, although Devil Fruit can grant immense power, you must understand that your own strength is the most important thing. Devil Fruit are merely supplementary; don't be misled by their power."
"Also, since you ate Devil Fruit, you can no longer go into the sea. There's something called Seastone that you can't touch either, or you'll become completely weak."
Ace nodded solemnly, but his smile remained bright.
Lin Yuan, recalling how Ace later relied too much on the Flame-Flame Fruit's power, also offered a reminder.
" Ace, the old man with the Whitebeard is right. You must take this seriously and not let this power control your mind, otherwise you will never become a top-tier powerhouse."
Upon hearing this, Ace's smile vanished, replaced by anxiety.
Lin Yuan smiled and pointed at the Whitebeard Newgate.
"Your Pops is said to be the strongest in the world, and his Tremor-Tremor Fruit is said to have the greatest destructive power, but the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's fame is only recognized because of Whitebeard's strength."
"Think about this world, with its hundreds of years of history, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit couldn't possibly be new. But why hasn't anyone made a name for Tremor-Tremor Fruit with it before?"
"This is all thanks to Whitebeard's strength, so you can use it, but you must not rely on it too much. Physical strength is the most important thing."
Ace nodded vigorously, taking Lin Yuan's words to heart.
Whitebeard Newgate couldn't help but show a proud expression when Lin Yuan mentioned him several times.
Lin Yuan didn't attack Whitebeard Newgate this time, since it was the truth.
"By the way, your Flame-Flame Fruit is said to be a lower-level Magma-Magma Fruit, but I don't think so. Remember, in the future, the main development directions should be temperature and explosiveness."
"Also, old man, Ace's body is still too weak. After you take him back, you should properly teach him the Three Types of Haki."
"Especially the Ryuo Haki of Armament Haki and the Conqueror's Haki coating, you already know all of these, so you must personally teach them to me."
Whitebeard Newgate smiled and nodded, readily agreeing.
"Alright, leave it to me. Such a promising talent, I'll definitely make him a top expert in the future."
Ace listened to Lin Yuan and Whitebeard Newgate's words, although he didn't say anything, he had already accepted them in his heart.
"Hehe, alright then, since that's the case, you can start teaching now. There are still a few days left anyway."
"Okay!"
Whitebeard Newgate didn't refuse and readily agreed, pulling Ace aside to explain methods for improving physical strength, the use of the Three Types of Haki, and some combat techniques.
This training lasted for several days, and it must be said that Whitebeard Newgate's ability to become the World's Strongest man was indeed quite remarkable.
While Ace was being taught, everyone else listened attentively, as this was a rare opportunity to hear such instruction. Even Lin Yuan and Naguri learned a great deal from it.
Although they had their own methods, they also drew inspiration from Whitebeard Newgate.
In particular, Lin Yuan, through Whitebeard Newgate's explanation, was not only able to strengthen his strengths and make up for his weaknesses, but was even able to deduce some of Whitebeard's fighting techniques, so that he could better seize the initiative when fighting Whitebeard in the future.
However, Whitebeard Newgate's guidance on developing Devil Fruit abilities was considerably weaker.
Although he could wield the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to a terrifying degree, he had little idea how to help Ace develop it.
After all, the development of each Devil Fruit requires time and exploration.
This time, Lin Yuan stepped forward and explained the characteristics of fire to Ace, including combustion, temperature, explosion, crowd control, and flight, explaining them to Ace one by one.
Ace studied very diligently, and when he heard Lin Yuan's peculiar idea, his eyes were filled with admiration and shock.
Marco listened attentively, knowing that he could also utilize some of the properties of the Flame-Flame Fruit.
Whitebeard Newgate and Naguri watched from the sidelines, clicking their tongues in amazement. They finally understood why Lin Yuan possessed such terrifying strength at such a young age.
This guy's mind is truly terrifying. Not only is he physically powerful and has superb swordsmanship, but even his development of Devil Fruit is different from what others think.
If others just want to develop some powerful moves, they'll be satisfied.
However, Lin Yuan thoroughly understood the characteristics of Devil Fruit abilities and then fully developed their strengths.
Whitebeard Newgate heard it clearly. Based on Lin Yuan's explanation of the use of the Flame-Flame Fruit, even if Ace didn't develop anything else, as long as he could learn what Lin Yuan had said, his Flame-Flame Fruit would reach a terrifying level.
And so, several days passed with instruction from Whitebeard Newgate and Lin Yuan, and Ace seemed to have opened the door to New World, filled with confidence in becoming a top-tier powerhouse.
Seven days later, Lin Yuan controlled the Flame Clouds to descend, where a huge merchant ship was already waiting.
"Alright, let's part ways here, Naguri. I've already informed them that this ship will take you to our headquarters, Tesoro will meet you."
"Old man Bai, you'll stay with Naguri for now, it's on the way anyway. The next ship will take you back. If you want someone to pick you up, you can notify them yourselves."
Whitebeard Newgate looked at Lin Yuan, who was about to leave, and said with a smile.
"Alright then, since you have other things to do, we'll be leaving. Consider this a favor I owe you!"
"Hmph, you old codger, you owe me so much, how dare you even ask for a favor!"
Lin Yuan retorted irritably, then the two looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Don't forget to teach Ace well, and don't forget what I told you before!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Whitebeard Newgate turned serious as he recalled Lin Yuan's earlier warning, and he glanced at Ace out of the corner of his eye.
After all, those matters involved Ace, Thatch, and Teach. His two eldest sons had died, and he himself had died in the end. How could this not weigh heavily on his mind?
Seeing Whitebeard Newgate's expression, Lin Yuan understood his thoughts. He didn't say anything more, waved to everyone, and then took Yamato into the air.
