The battle between the " Abyss " Merchant Guild and the Navy has lasted for half a day, and surprisingly, not a single person has fallen.
However, Kuina, Robin, Nojiko, and the others were already drenched in sweat, their clothes were soaked, and their physical strength was almost at its limit.
Lin Yuan brought almost all the high-ranking officers with him this time, so that they could experience the difference between them and the elites of the Marine Headquarters.
This gap is not in strength, but in overall quality.
"As expected of the Marines trained by Zephyr, each one of them is quite physically strong!"
Looking at the battle below, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh, but his gaze swept over Borsalino, the guy who didn't get along with Zephyr.
After watching for a while, Lin Yuan couldn't see any change in Borsalino's stamina, or even that he had broken a sweat.
"He's really hiding his strength well. It seems that even if this guy isn't as good as Sakazuki or Kuzan, his physique is still far superior to anyone below the Admiral level."
Another hour passed, and the battle between the two sides had reached a fever pitch, with the risk of someone being defeated at any moment looming.
Naguri didn't stay seated any longer. He instantly appeared beside Robin, easily dispatched her, and then knocked out Nojiko's opponent.
Robin and Nojiko couldn't help but sit down on the ground. This was the first time they had engaged in a battle of this intensity in so long.
With Naguri's intervention, Tesoro, Emile, Pain, the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, and others successively defeated their respective opponents.
On the battlefield, only Yamato and Kuina are still fighting, their opponents being Yamakaji and Onigumo, elite Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters.
Their strength was almost at the top level among Marine Vice Admiral admirals; even Yamato couldn't defeat him quickly.
As for Kuina, she was being overwhelmed by Onigumo and was almost exhausted, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere.
Erza tried to help Kuina many times, but Kuina stubbornly refused each time.
Tesoro and his men did not stop, but instead sailed the other Marine warship to the still-burning island port.
Emile threw out Admiral of foam, which extinguished the fire on the beach. Then everyone gathered together and silently watched the battle in the distance.
However, Tesoro quickly and quietly left the place with a few people; he had other matters to attend to.
On the remaining two warships, Yamato was suppressing the Yamakaji, while Kuina could no longer hold on and was replaced by Erza.
The Buster Call launched by the Navy this time can be considered a failure, and it's only a matter of time before Yamakaji and Onigumo are defeated.
However, compared to these, everyone in the Abyss Chamber of Commerce got the chance to fight. Although the Navy's admirals weren't particularly strong, they were still far superior to the pirates of the past.
In particular, the Yamakaji and the Onigumo caused great trouble for Yamato and Kuina. Kuina even exhausted herself but still couldn't defeat the Onigumo.
However, Lin Yuan believed that after this, Kuina and the others would undergo a transformation.
" Thunder Bagua..."
On the other side, Yamato, finally couldn't hold back anymore and directly transformed into a half-beast, then unleashed Kaido's signature move.
Vice Admiral Yamakaji drew his sword to defend himself with a serious expression, but the end result was that Yamato suffered a wound on his shoulder, and Vice Admiral Yamakaji's sword broke in two, sending him flying.
A hint of surprise flashed in Naguri's eyes as he watched closely. Yamato's attack just now had the beginnings of Conqueror's Haki Coating.
"What terrifying young people! Where did Lin Yuan find so many promising talents!"
As a veteran powerhouse, Naguri looked at Yamato, Tesoro, Erza, and Emile, as well as Enel who was entangled with Admiral Kizaru, and couldn't help but click his tongue.
After Yamato defeated Vice Admiral Yamakaji, Erza quickly followed suit. Around her, there seemed to be a smooth barrier, deflecting all of Onigumo's attacks.
"Boom..."
An attack similar to Ryuo Haki slammed into Onigumo's chest. Having already exhausted most of his strength with Kuina, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and flew out, spitting out blood.
Naguri flashed into view, grabbing Yamakaji and Onigumo in his hands. With two clangs, the two elite vice Vice Admiral, both renowned in the Marine Headquarters, were knocked unconscious.
"This is a crucial bargaining chip. Let's bring the warship to port!"
At this point, all the naval fleet that came to carry out the Buster Call, except for Borsalino who was still fighting, had become prisoners of the " Abyss " Merchant Guild.
In the sky, Borsalino knocked Enel away again, but it didn't cause any real damage.
Enel used the properties of lightning to fly around erratically, occasionally using his elemental form to dodge Borsalino's attacks.
Both are top-tier Logia Devil Fruit User, and neither can defeat the other in the short term. Of course, it's possible that one of them is holding back a lot of their power.
Lin Yuan's Observation Haki was constantly aimed at Borsalino, making him wary and even hesitant to defeat Enel.
Between battles, Borsalino observed the fighting below and discovered that, apart from a few seriously wounded, none of the marines he had brought had died.
The cunning Borsalino quickly understood Lin Yuan's intentions: besides training troops, he probably also planned to use these people as bargaining chips.
Borsalino breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a bit wry and resigned; this time, things had really gone wrong.
"I should have asked for leave. Why am I always so unlucky? This is the third time now. This guy's growth is terrifying."
Borsalino was internally complaining and already considering leaving.
However, Borsalino was unsure whether Lin Yuan had any means to stop him, given that Lin Yuan's killing intent had almost materialized.
However, when Borsalino saw Naguri heading towards Lin Yuan, he knew he couldn't wait any longer, because this unfamiliar fellow also gave him a sense of danger.
" Yasakani no Magatama..."
Countless light projectiles blasted towards Enel, stopping him from continuing to entangle him, while Borsalino's figure flew rapidly into the distance.
" Kizaru!!!"
Just then, Lin Yuan suddenly roared, and Borsalino couldn't help but look back.
But that one glance sent chills down his spine, for he saw Lin Yuan smiling at him, while his Crimson Eyes and Golden Pupils slowly closed.
" One Eye Covers the Heavens..."
This was Lin Yuan's divine power. Kaido was defeated by this very move, and Enel was tormented to the point of near collapse.
This time it was Borsalino's turn. He had already distanced himself from Lin Yuan, but now all he could see were those slowly closing golden eyes.
At the same time, Borsalino felt everything around him plunging into darkness. He wanted to escape, but it felt as if the entire world was closing in.
Just as Borsalino was watching this scene in horror, a figure suddenly burst through the sea.
"Hey kid, give me back Ace!!!"
