Winter Island, Drum Kingdom: Since Wapol took over as king, he executed all the doctors in the country, leaving only 20 highly skilled physicians to treat him.
Chopper's adoptive father, Hiriluk, died because of his rebellion.
Lin Yuan led his group and soon arrived in the royal city. Looking at the people below who were like slaves, Erza, Emile, and the others all showed hatred.
"It's a disaster for this country to have a king like that, why don't they rebel?"
"Alas, they are all powerless commoners. How can they possibly stand against Wapol, who controls the army? Over the years, even speaking ill of the king has resulted in death."
Kureha couldn't help but sigh, thinking of Hiriluk, the man she once considered a confidant.
"Heh, what do you mean by 'no power to resist'? They're nothing but pitiful people oppressed to the point of being devoid of emotion. The King's army only numbers a few. If everyone stood up, how could we not overthrow them?"
"The people here have completely lost the will to resist; they just need someone to reawaken them."
" Kureha, is there anyone left in this country who is loved by the people?"
Lin Yuan vaguely remembered this person, but couldn't recall the name, so he pretended not to know and asked a question.
Kureha Lin Yuan's meaning and spoke directly.
" Army Commander Dalton of the King's Army has been secretly helping those civilians; he's a good man."
"Heh, a good person?!"
Lin Yuan remained noncommittal and did not continue speaking. Instead, he flew down and landed towards the royal palace.
"Who is this person? They can fly!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Report to His Majesty the King immediately!"
Lin Yuan ignored the panicked guards and transformed into a dragon god. Golden light flashed faintly in his Crimson Eyes and Golden Pupils, directly enveloping the entire capital.
That year, Lin Yuan's eyesight recovered, and seemingly by virtue of the misfortune, he even developed a new ability.
" The Eye of Karmic Sin!"
A golden light flashed in the dragon's eyes, which were the size of a house, and Lin Yuan saw the aura of everyone in the entire capital.
Black threads appeared on the bodies of those who committed crimes.
Especially the nobles, whose bodies were almost entirely enveloped in black silk threads.
"Hmph, Sin Judgment: Heavenly Punishment!"
Activating his Devil Fruit power, Lin Yuan's enormous dragon god body churned, instantly filling the sky with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder.
Then, under Lin Yuan's precise control, it struck directly down, and almost everyone with black threads on their bodies was turned into Kurozumi by the divine lightning.
Instantly, the entire capital was shrouded in darkness and panic.
Lin Yuan's attack just now almost wiped out all the nobles.
The terrifying body of the dragon god caused everyone to kneel down and kowtow repeatedly.
Lin Yuan said nothing, transformed back into human form, and landed in the palace with Kureha and the others.
"Protect him! Protect him!"
At this moment, an extremely ugly man was roaring loudly, his eyes filled with horror. He was none other than King Wapol of the Drum Kingdom.
Lin Yuan's attack had terrified him, and the few remaining guards of the capital city disobeyed his orders.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan descend from the sky, he instinctively chose to kneel down.
A golden light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he felt a sense of disgust at the black threads that almost covered the entire palace around Wapol.
"That's disgusting!"
"Bang..."
With a casual strike, the king who ruled the entire country fainted. If Lin Yuan hadn't needed his fruit, he would have already banished him.
"Which one is Dalton?!"
Lin Yuan's cold voice echoed throughout the entire palace, and a tall man suddenly raised his head to look at Lin Yuan.
He was the only man who didn't kneel down, and he held a strange weapon in his hand.
"Yes, sir. What are your orders, sir?"
Lin Yuan looked at Kureha, and only spoke after she nodded.
"From now on, you will be the king of this country, but you will be under the jurisdiction of the Abyss Chamber of Commerce. I will send someone to help you later."
"Remember, this is an order. I'm just informing you. From now on, focus on developing the kingdom!"
After saying that, Lin Yuan didn't wait for Dalton's reply, turned around, and prepared to leave with the others.
Dalton was completely dumbfounded, staring in astonishment at Lin Yuan's retreating figure.
It was only when Kureha, whom he recognized, smiled and nodded at him that Dalton realized what was happening.
Watching Lin Yuan and the others take off, he muttered to himself.
"I'm now king! The Abyss Chamber of Commerce?!"
Only after Lin Yuan's figure disappeared did everyone in the entire Drum Kingdom dare to stand up.
However, with some of the capital's guards present, Dalton quickly informed the kingdom of the news.
Lin Yuan's single strike killed over five thousand people, effectively wiping out the country's nobility.
As for Wapol, who was captured by Lin Yuan, nobody cared. Everyone knew that their good days were coming.
A few days later, Lin Yuan used a nail to nail Wapol to the coffin in the Seastone, so that he would feel fear before he finally died.
Upon receiving the news, Tom immediately brought his two apprentices Iceburg and Franky, to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
" Lin Yuan, where is that thing you mentioned that can create an unlimited amount of special metals?"
As soon as he arrived, Tom eagerly looked at Lin Yuan.
After not seeing each other for many years, Lin Yuan hugged the three of them and then said with a smile.
"Old Tom, how have you been these years? Iceburg, Franky, long time no see!"
The three of them were extremely grateful to Lin Yuan; if it weren't for Lin Yuan appearance, they might have been killed by the World Government.
"Lord Lin Yuan, it's been a long time! As soon as I heard about the appearance of something that can create various metals, I rushed over."
Iceburg greeted Lin Yuan with a smile. As for Franky, he was a goofball, but he behaved himself and didn't say a word in front of Lin Yuan.
"Okay, I got the stuff. Here you go!"
He casually tossed the Munch-Munch Fruit even Blackbeard coveted, to Tom.
"Is this Devil Fruit?"
Tom received the Munch-Munch Fruit and looked at Lin Yuan with some confusion.
"Hehe, this is the Munch-Munch Fruit. It can devour anything and then turn what it has swallowed into part of its body. It can even change the properties of things."
Tom, an experienced shipwright, quickly understood the significance of the fruit, and an excited smile appeared on his face.
"So, if you have this ability, you can synthesize all kinds of metals, and even metals with the properties you want!"
Lin Yuan nodded and continued.
"That's right, but not only that. In theory, with the power of the Munch-Munch Fruit, one could even devour other Devil Fruit, but that would be too dangerous."
"But you can create powerful weapons to devour, which is no different from the Arms-Arms Fruit. There are other abilities that the Devil Fruit User the Gluttony Fruit needs to discover gradually."
However, Tom and his two companions were not interested in what Lin Yuan was talking about at all; instead, they were thinking about changing the properties of the metal.
"Hahaha, with this fruit, why would I need any other abilities!"
" Lin Yuan, what do you think about us building a new Pluton?"
