Garp never expected that Lin Yuan would withstand the combined attack of three general-level experts with his own strength and even gain the upper hand.
Although shocked, he did not lose confidence. His side had four top Admiral, and once Sakazuki and the masked man made their move, they could surround and kill Lin Yuan.
As for Naguri, Garp didn't think he was a match for Kuzan, after all, Nagri was getting old, while Kuzan was in his prime.
However, Garp's plan was about to fail. With the help of the various Devil Fruit abilities of the merchant guild and the Pure Gold, although Naguri was not brought back to his peak, he was close. It was still unknown who would win between Kuzan and Naguri.
Furthermore, the number of Emperor-level experts under Lin Yuan's command exceeded the expectations of Garp and the others.
"And so, Sakazuki, who was being besieged by Enel and Yamato, suddenly spoke in a deep voice."
"How is that possible? Your strength has actually reached the level of Admiral."
Upon hearing Sakazuki's voice, Garp and Kuzan looked in surprise in Sakazuki's direction.
"Hmph, take this! Thunder Bagua - Arrowhead!"
Yamato roared excitedly, a red light flashed on his spiked club, and he slammed it hard into Sakazuki.
"Boom..."
Caught off guard, Sakazuki immediately threw a punch, his scorching Magma Fist attempting to block Yamato's spiked club.
With a loud bang, Sakazuki was shocked to discover that the attack was actually Conqueror's Haki coating, and he was blasted back dozens of meters.
" Lightning Lance!"
Enel moved with Inazuma speed, seizing the opportunity to thrust a spear made of lightning at Sakazuki.
For a moment, Sakazuki was forced to retreat repeatedly by Enel and Yamato. Although his Magma-Magma Fruit had high damage output, ordinary attacks were useless against them, as they were strong opponents of the same level.
He had considered retaliating, but facing two equally powerful opponents, one of whom possessed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit whose power was in no way weaker than the Magma-Magma Fruit was out of the running.
Yamato is Mythical Zoan Fruit user, and although the two of them have only recently broken through to higher levels, they can easily hold off Sakazuki.
After forcing Garp back, Lin Yuan kept his aura locked on him. Although he didn't attack again, he also prevented Garp from having the opportunity to support others.
On the other side, Naguri, with his refined Armament Haki, fought Kuzan to a standstill. A pipe in his hand was like a divine weapon, shattering all of Kuzan's ice blocks.
As for the masked man, Garp didn't see him. After Lin Yuan and Yamato knocked him away, he didn't come back; only the CP0 guys went over.
"Boom boom boom..."
Just as Garp was waiting for his opponent to appear, a fierce battle suddenly erupted in the distance. Looking at the violent storm in the distance, Garp's eyes narrowed sharply.
"How could this be? That brat actually helped Lin Yuan, and he even has that old Zephyr's aura on him."
Garp's face darkened, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. The strength Lin Yuan possessed was far beyond what the World Government and the Navy had ever assessed.
The " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce alone has six super strong individuals here, including Lin Yuan, a terrifying being who can fight three opponents at once.
"Grandpa Garp, it's not good to be distracted when you're fighting me!"
Just as Garp was observing the battlefield out of the corner of his eye, Lin Yuan suddenly appeared in front of him, his scaled fist slamming down without any mercy.
"Hmph, kid, so what? Don't underestimate this old man!"
Garp unleashed his full power, his military uniform shattering to reveal his muscular upper body.
"Boom..."
Their fists collided, and another explosive sound rang out. This time, Garp did not retreat, but the ground beneath his feet was directly blasted into a crater tens of meters deep.
Garp looked at Lin Yuan with a serious expression and said through gritted teeth.
"Everyone has been fooled by you. I never imagined you had so many powerful men under your command. Even that brat and that old man came to help."
Lin Yuan suddenly exerted force, knocking Garp back, and then said with a smile.
"Heh, Grandpa Garp, I never said we were weaker than anyone else. It's just that you guys have been the ones attacking us!"
"Besides, I'm just a businessman. I was inexplicably given the title of Hidden Emperor by the World Government, and they even want to seize our assets. Don't you think they're overthinking it?"
Without waiting for Garp's reply, Lin Yuan lunged forward again, his wings slashing fiercely at Garp.
Sensing that incredibly sharp aura, Garp didn't choose to fight head-on. He dodged in a flash, while simultaneously Observation Haki to sense Lin Yuan's next move.
However, Lin Yuan wore a mocking smile on his face and moved with extreme speed. Before Garp could react, he was hit in the chest and sent flying.
Lin Yuan suddenly flapped his wings and disappeared from his spot. His wings were not just for show; they could not only fly but also strike like a Famous Sword.
A trace of blood appeared at the corner of Garp's mouth. He had just landed when he was horrified and began to check Lin Yuan's movements.
"How can this be? My Observation Haki can't even detect his attack!"
Garp had a bad feeling. He had seen Lin Yuan's ability before; it had appeared on Red-Haired Shanks and was called "Observation Haki Killer "!
Garp glanced around, and when he saw Lin Yuan again, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Stop!"
Garp shouted and then quickly chased after Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had already arrived beside Yamakaji and the others. Although he had stunned nearly 10,000 people with Conqueror's Haki, there were still too many Vice Admiral admirals among the navy.
Although Erza and the others were very strong, the enemy had too many people, so Lin Yuan planned to wipe them out.
" Time Confinement!"
Lin Yuan gave a soft shout, and the Yamakaji and the others who had just been besieging Erza and the others all froze in place.
Lin Yuan moved like a ghost, quickly weaving past them and then sending them flying with a single punch. Tesoro and the others also went all out.
In just a moment, most of the dozens of marines who were not stunned were gone, all of them seriously injured and unconscious.
"Hehe, the rest is up to you!"
Seeing that there were still about ten marines left, Lin Yuan did not continue to attack. He left Erza and the others to deal with these people.
Only then did Garp rush over, but it was too late.
"Heh, Grandpa Garp, I'll leave this place to them. I won't give you a chance to make a move."
Lin Yuan flashed again, blocking Garp. The two exchanged countless blows in a single, rapid exchange.
In fact, Lin Yuan's strength has completely surpassed Garp's, and he could even severely injure Garp almost instantly by using the Devil Fruit Awakening.
However, Lin Yuan did not want to fully reveal his terrifying strength, otherwise the World Government might resort to desperate measures. This gradual attrition was in line with his plan.
"Damn brat, how dare you attack the weak? Don't you have any dignity as a strong person?"
Garp roared angrily as he attacked Lin Yuan.
However, Lin Yuan easily parried all his attacks, and Lin Yuan said with a mocking expression.
"Hmph, all's fair in war. We're already at war, what's the point of maintaining decorum? Did you talk like this when you were chasing pirates? How laughable!"
Lin Yuan's eyes were cold, and he let out another cold laugh.
"Besides, in my eyes, you're no different from them!"
