At this moment, Sakazuki and his men were leading twenty warships sailing on the sea.
Garp's dog-headed flagship, Sakazuki, and Kuzan at the same time.
" Vice Admiral Garp, what do you want with us?"
As the commander leading the team, Sakazuki spoke immediately.
" Sakazuki, Kuzan, judging from the flight path, we should arrive at the battlefield in about a week. But for some reason, I have a bad feeling."
Sakazuki and Kuzan exchanged a glance, their expressions simultaneously turning serious. At their level of strength, they trusted their instincts.
" Vice Admiral Garp, what have you discovered?"
Garp shook his head, speaking with a hint of helplessness.
"No, it's just that I have this uneasy feeling, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
Kuzan was usually quiet, thought for a moment and then spoke.
" Mr. Garp, you're right, something's definitely not right. Lin Yuan is a very shrewd man. Compared to his strength, I'm more wary of his intellect."
"Logically speaking, given how much time has passed, even though we've been very careful, he should have already learned some information, yet he hasn't taken any action whatsoever."
"Perhaps he already has a solution, but we just don't know it."
Sakazuki and Garp thought for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Kuzan's analysis.
"Hmph, no matter what preparations he has made, with four general-level experts and twenty warships, we can crush him directly."
Sakazuki said coldly, he never feared any opponent, let alone so many powerful people attacking at the same time.
If it weren't for orders, he would have dared to lead everyone to sweep through the entire New World, annihilating all Five Emperors.
However, compared to these things, Garp became interested in what Kuzan had just said and asked in confusion.
" Kuzan, you seem to know that kid quite well. Do you know him?"
Upon hearing this, Sakazuki also looked at Kuzan, having never heard of him having any connection with Lin Yuan!
Kuzan couldn't help but think of Lin Yuan, who had jumped into the sea with a little girl in his arms. It almost shattered his spirit. If it weren't for what happened later, he probably wouldn't have recovered by now.
"Yes, I have indeed met him. In fact, I had contact with Lin Yuan even earlier than Borsalino."
"Actually, Sakazuki, all these years people have said I have a problem with you, and even that I've changed my sense of justice, but that's not true!"
Sakazuki and Garp were taken aback; what was this about Sakazuki?
Kuzan ignored their expressions and continued speaking.
"Actually, Lin Yuan might have been a survivor Ohara the Ohara Buster Call incident. It was he, who was only ten years old at the time, who made me change my sense of justice."
" Ohara survivors!"
Sakazuki was taken aback, not expecting Lin Yuan to be from Ohara. No wonder no one had known Lin Yuan's identity for so many years.
"I said possibly, but he did appear in Ohara, escaped from me, and rescued a little girl."
Garp looked puzzled and asked, confused.
"That's not right. Back then, you were also at the level of Admiral. Lin Yuan was only ten years old. How could he have escaped from you and even rescued a little girl?"
Kuzan shrugged helplessly, his face still serious.
"That's why I said that kid's mind is terrifying. He was also an ability user back then, but he was able to injure me. I just don't know how he survived, because they jumped into the sea."
Jump into the sea? Jump into the sea right in front of you!
Sakazuki and Garp were somewhat shocked. They knew Kuzan's abilities, but they never expected that ten-year-old Lin Yuan would be able to escape from Kuzan.
"That's right, his abilities are similar to Kaido's. As you all know, he's a red and black dragon, but nobody recognizes him. He can breathe fire and melted my Ice Age."
Sakazuki and Garp fell silent. If that was the case, this mission was bound to be difficult.
Sakazuki looked at Garp and asked.
" Vice Admiral Garp, when you fought Lin Yuan, just how strong was he?"
The entire Marine Headquarters knew that Garp was injured, but no one knew just how strong Lin Yuan was. It was said that he had lost his sight, and that he and Vice Admiral Garp had both suffered heavy losses.
"Sigh, logically speaking, I should have lost back then. That kid's abilities are a bit strange. You guys must never look into his eyes, especially when he's about to close them!"
"Close your eyes!"
Sakazuki and Kuzan were stunned. Was Lin Yuan really that terrifying with his eyes closed?
"Don't disbelieve me, I don't know what that kid's ability is either, but when he closed his eyes, the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness. I had to unleash my full power to break through it."
The three looked at each other, unable to gauge Lin Yuan's strength, and decided to stop discussing it, since their lineup was strong enough this time.
"By the way, Sakazuki, did that masked man cause any trouble?"
Although the three disliked the powerful figure sent by the World Government, they wouldn't interfere as long as he didn't cause trouble.
"No, he's just a bit arrogant, ignore him!"
"Okay, that's good. When the three of us take down Lin Yuan, that old bastard Naguri won't be a problem! I'll definitely give that kid a beating then."
Garp immediately laughed. This time, he was going to give Lin Yuan a good beating. Last time, he had been beaten quite badly!
"Hahaha, Vice Admiral Garp, once we capture Lin Yuan, you can do whatever you want with him."
Although Sakazuki had zero tolerance for pirates, and Lin Yuan was one of the Five Emperors, he had no intention of killing him.
"Oh dear, the weather has changed! Is it going to rain?!"
Kuzan looked at the thin clouds in the sky and couldn't help but say something.
"Haha, you're an Admiral now, and you still can't understand this? We've reached the Grand Line now, so the weather is naturally different from the Four Blues. That's normal."
Garp said casually that he'd seen this kind of weather many times before.
Sakazuki nodded in agreement. He had encountered this kind of weather many times before when fighting pirates, and the navy's warships were the most advanced, so he had no fear whatsoever.
"Alright, let's speed things up and catch that kid Lin Yuan quickly. I still need to beat up that Shanks kid."
Garp picked his nose, even more furious at Shanks for instigating his grandson to go to sea.
The three chatted for a while longer before returning to their warship. Kuzan, seeing the thin clouds all along the way, said nothing more and went to sleep with his eye mask on.
They didn't hide what they were discussing from the masked man, but he only glanced at it disdainfully before going back to rest.
An hour later, high in the sky, Enel sensed the direction of the naval fleet and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, we've finally waited for them! They've already entered within ten miles. They were so slow!"
Lin Yuan naturally noticed the other person as well, and said with a smile.
"Now it's up to you. I'll help you increase its power."
"Okay, watch me!"
With that, Enel plunged into the thick clouds, his body becoming elementalized, slowly controlling the colliding lightning within the clouds over a ten-mile radius.
Moreover, in Lin Yuan's perception, Enel's body continued to grow larger, transforming into a lightning giant similar to Takemikazuchi.
"Goodness, luckily the clouds I created were thick enough, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to stop this kid."
"However, I'll add fuel to the fire too. Lightning is nothing; everyone knows a bit about it!"
As Lin Yuan spoke, he transformed into his Dragon God Form, unleashing a torrent of lightning from his hands that surged toward Enel.
"Boom..."
When all the Marine warship appeared two miles below Enel, the weather suddenly changed, and a deafening clap of thunder suddenly echoed through the thick clouds.
Looking down, Inazuma flashed wildly through the clouds, illuminating the entire world.
"What is that? There's a giant in the clouds! Quickly inform Vice Admiral Garp!"
On the Dog-Head Warship, an officer stared in terror at the sky, where a figure vaguely appeared amidst the lightning, sending chills down his spine.
Not only here, but Sakazuki, Kuzan, and the masked man were also awakened, along with Garp who had just woken up. Everyone was watching the sky warily.
"That figure looks just like Thunder God Enel, from the Abyss Chamber of Commerce Guild!"
Just as Garp and the others were watching this scene with serious expressions, the lightning giant in the sky suddenly smashed through the surrounding clouds, its thousand-meter-tall body causing astonishment.
Even more terrifying, as the clouds shattered, a trident made of lightning appeared in the Thunder Giant's hand.
"Hahaha, the mere World Government and Navy dare to come here to die? I'll make sure you all perish here today!"
" Wrath of the Thunder God - Heavenly Thunder Punishment!"
