Although the navy issued a statement and helped rebuild homes on those islands, Lin Yuan had no intention of doing anything.
After all, they had already acquired a great deal of wealth, and as for their reputation, the truth had already been revealed to the people when they left.
Although the navy issued a statement, Lin Yuan knew exactly what kind of people those Marine Base and Marine Branch were; they had long been corrupted by money and wealth.
If we send them to help those islands now, they'll probably just go through the motions, not really put in any effort, and might even be after the wealth they left behind.
As for Sakazuki and Kuzan, as Admiral, they would at most make an appearance; they would never actually take action themselves.
Therefore, this reputation is not easy to earn, and if not handled properly, it could severely damage the reputation of the World Government and the Navy once again.
"Alright, since the World Government and the Navy want to do it, let them do it. We don't need to interfere."
"Also, Stella and Shadow, keep an eye out for any strangers appearing on our territory. Genzo, go and mobilize the people on each island. Report any unusual situations to us, and don't be stingy with rewards."
When it comes to mobilizing the masses, Genzo have long since figured out the tricks of the trade, which is one of the reasons why the World Government has been unable to infiltrate them.
"Okay, leave it to us!"
As for Enel and the others who were still somewhat angry, Lin Yuan did not intend to explain anything. The more he did, the more mistakes he made; the more he said, the more he thought.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. Starting tomorrow, all the islands will hold a victory celebration, a seven-day grand banquet. You all should relax and have some fun!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with bright smiles, and Tesoro immediately sent the message to all the islands.
Before long, even at headquarters, they could hear the cheers from outside.
"Mr. Zephyr, Naguri, let's go grab a drink."
"Haha, okay, let's go, let's go, I want to hear more about the Chamber of Commerce!"
Zephyr and Naguri naturally accepted Lin Yuan's invitation, while Enel, Erza, Emile, and Ain also went along.
As for Tesoro and other high-ranking officials, things weren't so easy for them; they had a lot of things to do.
After everyone was seated, Lin Yuan, in front of Zephyr, summoned Ying, who had appeared out of nowhere, and instructed her to search for news of the Time-Time Fruit.
Seeing how much Lin Yuan cared about his affairs, Zephyr was naturally very grateful. Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, Zephyr gradually integrated into this new force.
The next morning, the territory ruled by the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce was filled with scenes of singing and dancing, and all the countries and villages held grand banquets.
Apart from a few guards, almost everyone was immersed in the atmosphere; for the first time in so many years, they felt true happiness.
Lin Yuan, along with the high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce, traveled to various islands to personally interact with the locals. Almost everyone who saw Lin Yuan cheered excitedly.
Many people even fainted from excitement and were pulled aside to prevent them from being trampled to death by the frenzied crowd.
It took Lin Yuan three whole days to travel to all the islands before he disappeared.
As he had imagined, while the " Abyss " Merchant Guild was holding a grand banquet, many people on the islands that had just experienced the great battle clashed with the navy.
The reason was that many naval personnel, under the pretext of helping, robbed a lot of the supplies that Lin Yuan had given them, which aroused protests from the public, and even led to direct conflicts among many people.
Upon learning the news, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was furious and ordered Sakazuki to deal with many greedy navy personnel to quell the situation.
However, this attempt to help the people was far less effective and even drew contempt and hatred from many.
However, these were not things that Lin Yuan cared about, nor could he care. At this moment, he was making a call using a special Den Den Mushi.
"Brubrubrub..."
"Hello!"
"Hehe, long time no see, Dragon!"
No one knows what the two said, but a month later, a large amount of the " Abyss " Merchant Guild's supplies were looted again.
Many people were involved this time, almost all of them were from the Shichibukai, but no one knew the exact number.
Unaware of the situation, Zephyr was so angry that he wanted to take action himself, but in the end, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a long time, his unrestrained laughter echoed from the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
On the Revolutionary Army's secret island, Dragon, along with the Revolutionary Army commander, stared at the ships filling the entire harbor, their expressions frozen, as they looked at the hold overflowing with weapons, ammunition, knives, food, and meat.
Finally, upon seeing a cargo ship laden with Beli and various gold and silver jewels, Dragon proudly showed off.
"Hahaha, brothers, this is aid sent by my half-brothers! From now on, we won't have to worry about food and weapons anymore. Let's liberate more people!"
However, his words did not elicit a response from the various legion commanders, as they were simply taken aback by Lin Yuan's extravagant gesture.
Regardless of Dragon's Revolutionary Army, Lin Yuan was enjoying a massage from Robin, while Erza and Emile were feeding him.
It's just that the scene of countless arms appearing on Lin Yuan's body after Robin activated his ability looked somewhat terrifying.
As for Yamato, it's impossible to expect her to serve Lin Yuan; it would be good enough if she didn't get hammered by him.
"Brother Lin Yuan, things are really just as you said. The World Government and the Navy really tried to steal a chicken but lost their rice instead. Although they did a lot, they also made a lot of mistakes, and they didn't get the reputation they wanted."
While pressing down, Lin Yuan Robin laughed and told Lin Yuan about the Navy's shady tactics.
"Heh, if I'm not mistaken, this is either Sengoku's or Vice Admiral Tsuru's idea, but they didn't do it thoroughly enough."
"If Sengoku goes there personally, or sends Vice Admiral Tsuru, then the desired effect can be achieved. As for Sakazuki and Kuzan, letting them fight is fine, but forget about disaster relief!"
"Hehe, you're right, but our people were involved too, though we compensated the villagers afterwards."
Lin Yuan was taken aback, glancing at Robin with confusion. Hadn't he said he wouldn't interfere? Why did he still intervene?
However, Robin seemed to have anticipated Lin Yuan's thoughts and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"Don't get the wrong idea. Tesoro and the others won't disobey your orders. It's just that I'm worried the people at those Marine Base might go too far, so I've arranged for someone to keep an eye on them."
"Many of the naval personnel who took action were our undercover agents. While they were instigating some notorious naval officers, they were also protecting the lives of those villagers."
"At the same time, I was thinking that if this could enrage the Marine Headquarters and lead to the dismissal of these people, it would be good to advance our personnel line."
Lin Yuan looked at Robin in surprise. She truly lived up to her reputation as his cunning childhood friend, possessing such abilities. Erza and Emile beside him also looked at Robin with admiration.
"And then? What happened?"
"Hehe, this time Sakazuki dealt with a full thirty-odd corrupt naval officers, all of whom were heads of powerful departments. Twenty-six of them, including undercover agents, were promoted."
"Especially the base commander of the 32nd Branch, who is also our covert informant."
If it were anyone else who dared to disobey Lin Yuan's orders, although Lin Yuan wouldn't say anything, he would still exclude them from the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce.
Robin and her three sisters were an exception. They were the people Lin Yuan trusted most. However, while Erza and Emile were capable of handling normal business, they couldn't pull off such stunts.
Although Robin didn't experience as much as in the original story, her skills seemed to come naturally to Lin Yuan, which greatly surprised him.
As for Yamato, let's forget about it!
"Haha, you really are my darling! From now on, you can do these things without worry. You don't need to explain anything to me, and it's not like it's anything bad!"
"Okay, sure!"
Having received Lin Yuan's affirmation, Robin looked at Lin Yuan with admiration, and her resolve was strengthened!
"Don't worry, Brother Lin Yuan, I will definitely help you fulfill that wish!"
