Lin Yuan did not leave immediately, but chatted with the two of them for a while in the Mirror Space.
As for Blackbeard, Lin Yuan paid him even less attention.
"Alright, it's almost time!"
Lin Yuan, who had just been chatting with the two, suddenly stood up, walked to Bondi World's coffin, and pulled open the coffin lid.
With a sweep of his Observation Haki, Lin Yuan smiled and reached out to pick out a white fruit with a fish-scale spiral pattern.
"That's great! This fruit can instantly increase a person's strength by dozens of times. I wonder if Kuina wants it."
Looking at the Devil Fruit in his hand, Lin Yuan instantly thought of Kuina. Actually, this fruit would be better given to Mihawk; a forty-meter-long Supreme Great Grade Sword would be incredibly powerful for killing people.
But he also knew that getting me to make Mihawk eat Devil Fruit was almost the same as killing him; after all, this guy was a pure swordsman.
But Kuina is different. After years of teaching, she no longer refuses Devil Fruit and even asks Lin Yuan to pick a good one for her.
This More-More Fruit is considered one of the god-tier fruits, and its minimum potential isn't low either. After Kuina eats it, she'll probably instantly be comparable to Mihawk, definitely at the Admiral level.
Just as Lin Yuan was admiring the More-More Fruit, Bullet and Redfield, who were standing to the side, were completely dumbfounded.
"You actually managed to reclaim the Devil Fruit!"
Bullet's voice startled Lin Yuan from his reverie. He weighed the Devil Fruit in his hand and said with a smile.
"Look at this, isn't it? This is More-More Fruit! Pretty good, let's see what we can get next!"
Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, Bullet and Redfield's gazes had already turned to the ten-meter-high cube, which contained more than forty people.
"Boom..."
Lin Yuan opened the stone coffin with great anticipation, and then used his storage ring to put everything inside.
Walking to the side, Lin Yuan waved his hand again, and hundreds of corpses and a pile of fruit covered the ground.
The three astutely discovered that there were indeed Devil Fruit among them, and quite a few at that.
Bullet and Redfield weren't idle this time either; they personally picked out the Devil Fruit, and it felt pretty good, actually.
Soon, the ground was covered with a pile of Devil Fruit, a total of 39. Lin Yuan didn't pay any attention to it, guessing that someone had just filled in the numbers.
After careful identification, the Zoan Mythical Zoan Fruit, 5 Ancient Zoan, 18 Common Zoan-type, 1 Logia- type, and 13 Paramecia.
Including the More-More Fruit, there are exactly forty Devil Fruits. However, what excites Lin Yuan is that there are a lot of high-quality Devil Fruit among them, including even Mythical Zoan and Logia.
"Hehe, it seems we really came to the right place. With so many high-quality Devil Fruit, we might be able to cultivate one or two Emperor-level powerhouses."
Bullet and Redfield were dumbfounded when they saw the Devil Fruit scattered all over the ground. Although they couldn't use them, just looking at them was a feast for the eyes.
"You actually managed to get so many Devil Fruit! That's terrifying!"
Lin Yuan smiled and ignored their fuss. These were just a few; he had an Ability User Legion.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
After putting the two coffins away, Lin Yuan opened his mouth and spewed out white flames, instantly burning the corpses and fruit on the ground to nothingness.
"Holy shit!"
Bullet couldn't help but curse. This guy could even breathe fire; it was insane.
"Lord Lin Yuan, I've arrived!"
After everything was settled, Brûlée's voice came from inside a mirror.
Lin Yuan patted himself off, then smiled and said to Bullet and Redfield.
"Alright, let's go out too. There's a big show waiting for us!"
Bullet and Redfield nodded and followed Lin Yuan out of the Mirror World with great interest. They also wanted to see the battle between Whitebeard Newgate and the Marine Headquarters.
Meanwhile, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku was listening to Vice Admiral Tsuru's report, and then began discussing with these officers whether anything had been overlooked.
After an unknown amount of time, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku wearily checked the time and then spoke.
"Alright, let's proceed with this plan tomorrow. Go back and get some rest. Whitebeard Newgate has been missing for many days; we need to be on high alert."
The others nodded and then left the meeting room.
That night, Sengoku suffered from insomnia, something he hadn't done in a long time. Even though a major battle was destined to take place the next day, he still couldn't sleep.
"This time, I'm determined to take down a Yonko-level pirate crew!"
As the first rays of sunlight illuminate the earth in the morning, the entire Marine Headquarters comes alive with activity.
Several hours passed, and everyone was in place, just like in the original story, but Blackbeard did not appear.
On the high platform, Sengoku coldly gazed at the distant sea, seemingly awaiting the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Below them, in order, are the Three Admirals of the Navy: Sakazuki and Borsalino are sitting with their legs crossed and cigarettes in their mouths, while Kuzan is sitting properly.
In addition, the Navy's Giant Vice Admiral, the Navy's elite Vice Admiral, and the Shichibukai have all taken up different positions.
Because of Lin Yuan, Bartholomew Kuma did not allow Vegapunk to be modified, but a group of Pacifista still emerged.
Although not modeled after Bartholomew Bear, their functions seem to be largely the same.
This amazed Lin Yuan, who was observing from above the Flame Clouds. It seemed that the inertia of the world still allowed Vegapunk to develop this powerful weapon.
" Lin Yuan, do you think Whitebeard Newgate will come? For the sake of one of his men, would he really risk everything? I'm afraid it's more likely to end badly for him!"
Redfield asked softly. He knew Whitebeard Newgate quite well, but looking at the troop deployment below, he still couldn't help but marvel at the Navy's strength.
"Yes, of course, and it should arrive soon!"
Bullet stared intently down below. Although he wanted to go up and fight, reason told him that against the Navy's forces, he would probably be ganged up on and killed.
Just as the three were chatting, a voice suddenly rang out; it was none other than the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
"Bring Ace up here!"
With the order given, two soldiers quickly escorted Ace to the execution platform.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Marineford began to change, and a chilling aura enveloped the entire island.
The Fleet Admiral Sengoku did not stop; following procedure, he began this public execution, which was to be seen by the entire world.
Lin Yuan watched expressionlessly, inwardly marveling at the difference between the atmosphere in anime and watching it live.
However, when Fleet Admiral Sengoku revealed Ace's identity and that his mother had died in childbirth while trying to escape capture, Lin Yuan felt more pity than shock as others exclaimed.
The World Government killed thousands of pregnant women for the sake of a descendant of a Pirate King, Sengoku didn't say a word about it! Lin Yuan felt disgusted by this kind of navy.
"Heh, what a terrible world. The existence of the Celestial Dragons is a mistake, and these Marines should change!"
Lin Yuan's voice was cold, causing Bullet and Redfield to exchange bewildered glances. However, after Lin Yuan explained what had happened to Ace, their gaze towards the Navy changed.
"Yes, what a terrible world!"
Just after Fleet Admiral Sengoku revealed Ace's true identity, figures wearing cloaks suddenly appeared in various parts of the plaza, while a gigantic figure suddenly stood in the very center of the plaza.
The newcomer was none other than Whitebeard Newgate, who faced the entire navy alone.
" Ace, Pops, I'm here to save you!"
