By the time the news reached the " Abyss " Merchant Guild, Lin Yuan had already summoned Whitebeard Newgate and the others.
" Lin Yuan, what should we do next? Ace is in big danger this time. Didn't you say he'd be fine?"
As soon as Whitebeard Newgate arrived, he couldn't wait to find Lin Yuan. If he weren't outmatched, he probably would have already grabbed Lin Yuan by the collar and started cursing him.
This time, not only did Whitebeard Newgate come, but his captains and dozens of other captains also came.
In addition, Katakuri also brought more than a dozen powerful younger brothers, all of whom were skilled in using Haki.
As for the Beasts Pirates, Lin Yuan did not allow them to send anyone over, since there was still the Red Hair Pirates to be wary of.
Besides them, an old man sat silently to the side. When he heard that Ace was to be publicly executed, he fell silent. It was Garp.
Lin Yuan ignored Whitebeard Newgate's roar and instead glanced at the group.
The group included top fighters from the two major pirate crews, their own Fish-Man, Ability User Legion, and high-ranking members of the merchant guild, totaling over 150 people.
Even the weakest of them could hold their own against Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
As for the strong ones, there are too many to count: Whitebeard Newgate, Zephyr, Naguri, Yamato, Enel, Mihawk, plus Katakuri just broke through and Lin Yuan himself.
There were a total of eight Emperor-level powerhouses, not counting Hancock, Kaido of the Beasts, Big Mom Lot Linlin, and the Revolutionary Army.
This force alone could overturn the entire Marine Headquarters. As for Garp, Lin Yuan had no intention of having him take action, and it should be said that he wouldn't.
However, while Garp remained silent, although he was worried about Ace's safety, what shocked him even more was that Lin Yuan was actually able to command the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
This was something he had never thought of, or even dared to imagine. Given the current strength of the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce, coming to attack Lin Yuan was simply a joke.
Garp had been thinking a lot these days. Although he could return to the Navy, it would completely enrage Lin Yuan.
After that failure, Dragon and Ace went to see Garp one after the other. The three of them talked for a long time, Garp knew that he could never go back.
He's now considered a dead man by outsiders. If he leaves now, Lin Yuan will show no mercy when facing the Navy next time.
Even his own grandson Luffy will be killed by Lin Yuan; this was said by Lin Yuan himself.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's begin this meeting to rescue Ace! Newgate, don't be so hasty, can't you see the level of power here!"
Lin Yuan glared at Newgate, annoyed. He had already told him, but Newgate still couldn't hold back.
"Hmph, that's my son! It's all your fault! Tell me, what are we going to do now?"
Whitebeard Newgate glared at Lin Yuan as well, but didn't cause any more trouble; he had only acted out of concern.
Lin Yuan ignored the Whitebeard Newgate and looked at everyone before speaking.
"This trip to Marineford doesn't require too many people, nor do we need to recall all the Whitebeard Pirates. One hundred people will suffice."
Lin Yuan's words stunned everyone present. The Marine Headquarters has 100,000 men. One hundred against one hundred thousand? Has Lin Yuan gone mad?!
" Lin Yuan, what did you say? One hundred people!"
Apart from the higher-ups of the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce, everyone else seemed to be looking at Lin Yuan as if he were a fool.
Lin Yuan retaliated in kind. Since when has the number of people in a battle in the pirate world been the key to determining victory or defeat?
Although Bullet was once exhausted by the Buster Call before being captured, that was on his own, and he was being targeted.
Let's not even talk about how Luffy stunned 50,000 people with a single burst of Conqueror's Haki in the original Luffy. Just look at the last time Lin Yuan and Enel, even with four Admiral joining forces to stop them, the aftershocks alone killed 5,000 people.
Therefore, Lin Yuan still plans to choose the elite force route this time. A mere Marine Headquarters is simply not enough to stop him.
"Alright, this time, the first to go are the Shichibukai. Mihawk and the others will be mainly responsible for Ace's safety. After rescuing him, we can finally reveal our true intentions."
" Mihawk, Hancock, and Bartholomew Kuma are all at the Admiral level. Whitebeard, you can rest assured now!"
Whitebeard Newgate paused for a moment, glanced at the World's Greatest Swordsman sitting there drinking red wine, and a smile appeared on his face.
However, it wasn't just him; everyone else who was unaware of the situation was shocked. There were actually three powerful Admiral among the Shichibukai who were all under Lin Yuan's command.
Whitebeard Newgate and Garp were equally shocked. When did all this happen? Weren't the Shichibukai recruited by the World Government and then managed by the Marine Headquarters?!
They no longer understand this world; to be precise, they never truly understood Lin Yuan.
" Lin Yuan, young man, I was rash. Tell me your detailed plan."
Lin Yuan glared at Whitebeard Newgate with annoyance, then looked at Yamato, Katakuri, Mihawk, and the old man with the Whitebeard.
"Four people, without Hancock even needing to lift a finger, the four of them working together should be enough!"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan explained his plan to rescue Ace and severely damage the Marines to everyone, leaving them all speechless.
"Holy crap, war can be fought like this? You're quite the genius! According to you, if we just defeat Sengoku and the Three Admirals, the war will be over!"
"Boss, will this method work? Should we bring more people to provide support?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said.
"Don't worry, I'll come over to support you after I've finished my business. At worst, I'll let the old man with the Whitebeard unleash his power a few more times."
Whitebeard Newgate was taken aback, then smiled. He knew Lin Yuan was deliberately putting more pressure on him, but he didn't care since he was almost at his peak.
"Alright, that's settled then, Mihawk. Tesoro will arrange a secret departure and then reveal his whereabouts. I estimate the Navy will recall you soon."
Mihawk nodded without speaking. He was also incredibly shocked by Lin Yuan's plan. A major battle could be fought like this.
Next, Lin Yuan had someone arrange for Katakuri and the others to arrive, and then walked towards Garp, who hadn't spoken yet. Garp didn't appear; he remained hidden in the private room.
Just as Lin Yuan was gathering his forces, the Navy was also secretly carrying out operations, completely transforming and redeploying Marineford.
At the same time, Fleet Admiral Sengoku ordered the immediate mobilization of the Shichibukai, determined to completely destroy a Yonko-level pirate crew in order to restore the Navy's prestige.
Furthermore, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku also transferred many officers from various bases, bringing the total number of 100,000 naval personnel to be almost identical to that in the original story.
However, he never expected that someone who did not belong to this world was looking down upon it with the eyes of heaven, and all his plans were reduced to a blank sheet of paper.
Meanwhile, Blackbeard, who had just been granted the title of Shichibukai by the Navy, was wandering along the edge of the Calm Belt with Lafitte and Van Augur, his eyes greedily fixed on the direction of Impel Down.
The thought of gaining a large number of powerful subordinates and the plans that were about to begin filled him with excitement.
"Zehahaha, let this war proclaim the rise of me, Blackbeard! Zehahahaha!"
Lafitte and Van Augur smiled as they watched the maniacally laughing Blackbeard.
