The Abyss Merchant Guild's plan to take over the Whitebeard Pirates ' territory has excited all the guild's leaders, who immediately began discussing how to handle the situation.
Lin Yuan originally intended to hand it over to Tesoro and the others, but the crowd stopped him from leaving, insisting that he make the final decision if he was unsure about anything.
Left with no other choice, Lin Yuan could only drink with Naguri and Zephyr, watching everyone busy themselves.
This time, it's not just about expanding our business territory on a large scale, but also about the arrangement of responsibilities for various positions, the work arrangements for hundreds of thousands of people, and so on, all of which need to be discussed.
Furthermore, Stella, Robin, Olvia, and the Shadow also discussed security measures and intelligence gathering for such a large area.
Since the last war launched by the " Abyss " Merchant Guild, Olvia has returned and no longer seeks out the Poneglyph. Instead, she has chosen to help her daughter manage some affairs.
Despite being a woman, Olvia possesses exceptional intelligence, and Stella and Shadow humbly accept many of her suggestions.
"Sigh, Lin Yuan, you've really opened my eyes this time. I used to hate pirates, but hearing that you've let them return to the island still finds it unbelievable."
"Even I was a little confused, unsure whether I should object, but I knew it was the best outcome. I just didn't expect you could convince that guy, Whitebeard Newgate."
Hearing Zephyr's exclamation, Lin Yuan smiled and said.
"Haha, it's nothing. After all, I've known Whitebeard for many years. He's not such a brutal pirate; he's just an old man who wants to protect a group of children."
Zephyr and Naguri were taken aback by Lin Yuan's analogy. After thinking about it carefully, they realized it made perfect sense, and they burst into laughter.
"Since Mr. Zephyr has no objections, that's wonderful. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do!"
"Hmph, kid, don't be so sarcastic. Since I've already agreed, I never intended to go back on my word. But do you really think that kind of Devil Fruit exists?"
Zephyr is currently enjoying his life here, and he often teaches the younger generation how to improve their combat abilities with Naguri. However, he is somewhat nervous about the Time-Time Fruit that Lin Yuan mentioned.
"Don't worry, I can guarantee that this fruit really exists. And now we have Pure Gold, so the one thing we don't lack is time. We'll find it someday."
"Thank you very much!"
Zephyr looked wistful, seemingly lost in memories. Seeing this, Naguri quickly changed the subject.
"Brother Lin Yuan, that woman Lot Linlin is planning a tea party in a month, and she's invited Tesoro this time. What do you think her purpose is?"
"Hmm? Inviting Tesoro! Heh, it seems she's still up to her old tricks, daring to set her sights on us again."
In this war, Lin Yuan only targeted Hachinosu and the three kings of the underground forces. He did not intend to attack Big Mom Pirates. He simply wanted Whitebeard Newgate to teach her a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Whitebeard Newgate personally went to fight that woman, which triggered his hidden injuries; otherwise, Lin Yuan probably wouldn't have gone there so soon.
"Film!"
Lin Yuan called out, and a figure instantly appeared in front of Lin Yuan.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"Find out who was invited to the Big Mom's tea party a month from now."
"My lord, this is no secret. This time, she invited some powerful families from Four Blues, the remaining three kings of the underworld, nobles from some kingdoms, and Tesoro!"
Lin Yuan nodded, then waved his hand, and his shadow instantly turned into a snowflake and disappeared from the spot. After thinking for a while, he looked at Zephyr and Naguri.
" Zephyr, Naguri, do you think we can use this opportunity to take control of the Big Mom Pirates as well?"
"In addition, there are those invited guys, Big News Morgans from the underground forces is not bad, and some powerful forces from Four Blues are also quite good."
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Zephyr and Naguri exchanged bewildered glances, shocked by Lin Yuan's insane idea—that was the Iron Balloon, one of the Five Emperors.
While other forces cannot compare to them, they are still all forces with enormous influence.
However, they quickly realized that Lin Yuan's power was far beyond what a single Emperor Pirate Crew could match. He had several Admiral -level experts, and most of the Shichibukai were his subordinates.
The well-informed Zephyr and Naguri immediately considered the feasibility of this matter. The two even discussed it for a while before Zephyr spoke up.
" Lin Yuan, the other forces are fine, but there are two issues that need to be addressed."
Lin Yuan's face lit up with surprise, and he quickly asked.
Tell me more!
"Well, firstly, if we want to control the Big Mom Pirates, we need to fight. But based on what I know about Big Mom, even if she dies, she will never submit to anyone."
"Secondly, it's not difficult to secretly arrest people from powerful organizations, but how can you guarantee that you can subdue them? If this matter is leaked, we will become the target of everyone's criticism."
Zephyr's words made Lin Yuan frown. These two things were indeed quite troublesome, and he kept thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
"Controlling the Big Mom? Subduing them? Hah, those two things can be handled as one! I do have a plan!"
Zephyr and Naguri looked at Lin Yuan curiously upon hearing this, wondering what he had in mind this time.
" Lin Yuan, what are you planning to do?"
Lin Yuan's brows relaxed, and a profound smile appeared on his face.
"Hehe, I don't know if you've ever heard of a Devil Fruit, the Op-Op Fruit!"
"You mean that Devil Fruit with a 5 billion Beli bounty on its head by the World Government! I heard it was coveted by all the major powers, but then it disappeared!"
Zephyr and Naguri had both heard of the Op-Op Fruit, and not only them, probably everyone had heard of it; the World Government's high bounty on it back then caused quite a stir.
"Heh, the Op-Op Fruit can grant immortality, but it requires the user to Awakening their ability and pay the price with their life. It's no wonder that anyone who obtains this fruit would hide away."
"However, I do know who got it, and I have a way to find him! Moreover, the Op-Op Fruit has another use: it can remove an enemy's heart without killing them."
Lin Yuan also greatly admired Trafalgar Law, the Surgeon of Death, and believed that the latter also possessed the potential to Admiral.
"Controlling someone's heart, that's really a good idea. With that, probably not many people would dare to betray them, since not many people are unafraid of death."
Zephyr and Naguri laughed. As for the immortality-granting effect of the Op-Op Fruit, although they were curious, they didn't care at all because they possessed Pure Gold.
In fact, Lin Yuan also thought of Sugar's Hobby-Hobby Fruit, which could also control the opponent, but it did not meet his requirements. Moreover, Lin Yuan did not know if that kind of fruit would be effective against people of their strength.
Moreover, Lot Linlin is Four Emperors. Even if everyone's memories are erased, the World Government still has intelligence about her and will definitely notice something is wrong.
This would only alert the Five Elders, so Lin Yuan thought about it and gave up.
"Film!"
No sooner had Lin Yuan finished speaking than a figure appeared in front of him in an instant.
"Pass the word to have people search for Trafalgar Law, the captain of the Heart Pirates. Also, it's time to go see your sister."
Upon hearing this, Ying shuddered and abruptly looked up at Lin Yuan.
