Before Tom, Iceburg, and Franky returned, Pluton was shrouded in Flame Clouds. With Lin Yuan's power, no one could bypass him and touch Pluton.
The three quickly arrived from Sky Island, and Ace, who had returned to the Whitebeard Pirates, also came, accompanied by Whitebeard Newgate.
The birth of Pluton even prompted Whitebeard Newgate to come and see this legendary Ancient Weapon.
Not only them, but these days, Olvia and her daughter Robin have also been spending all their time around Pluton, making many records, which are important clues for studying history.
Over the years, Lin Yuan has secretly collected many Poneglyph texts, including those few Road Poneglyph markers.
To be precise, if he wanted to, he could instantly become the new Pirate King, and Straw Hat Luffy, couldn't avoid Lin Yuan if he wanted to find Laugh Tale.
However, these are all in Lin Yuan's later plans, and he doesn't have time to look into them for the time being. But Nami has figured out the exact location, and being a money-grubber, she has already started persuading the other sisters, who may go there someday.
In the days that followed, Lin Yuan handed over all these matters to others and began to study the runes on the Seven Star Sword.
If we were to talk about the entire world of One Piece, this sword is the only thing that interests him.
Neither the Great Grade Sword nor the Supreme Great Grade Sword are as eerie as this sword, capable of controlling a person's thoughts and strength; only the Seven Star Sword can do this.
It's not that the Seven Star Sword is stronger than other Supreme Great Grade Sword, but rather that its method of controlling people's minds and enhancing their strength piqued his interest.
Lin Yuan guessed it was related to these inscriptions, but to his surprise, ordinary swords and blades could not withstand these inscriptions; they either shattered or did not react at all.
Having failed in his research, he could only begin to create Devil Fruit weapons.
After so many years of collecting, Lin Yuan has quite a few Famous Sword in his possession, including nine Skillful Grade Swords and four Great Grade Sword.
However, if he manages to figure it out, he can add it to Mihawk's Black Blade Yoru, Golden Lion Shiki's Sakura Oto and Kogarashi, and Kuina's Wado Ichimonji, which would be considered a different kind of enchantment.
As for the Devil Fruit abilities in Lin Yuan's possession, there are simply too many. In just this month, he has obtained nearly twenty, and the merchant guild has also found more than a dozen, making a total of thirty, not counting the stock he has on hand.
Just in case, Lin Yuan started with the Skillful Grade Swords. Under the suppression of the Taiji Diagram, the Devil Fruit energy had no way to escape and was then suppressed into the blade.
To his surprise, the Devil Fruit energy did not fuse with the sword as he had expected after entering Skillful Grade Swords; the blade was actually cracked by the Devil Fruit's power.
Lin Yuan kept a close eye on the changes in the Skillful Grade Swords the entire time, and he also re-infused the Devil Fruit energy into a new fruit.
Undeterred by his first failure, Lin Yuan tried again with a different type of Devil Fruit.
However, this attempt also failed; the Devil Fruit's energy shattered the Grade Blades.
This made Tashigi and Kuina, who had nothing to do but want to see his experiment, extremely distressed. This was a Skillful Grade Swords, and Lin Yuan had just wasted it.
However, they didn't say anything to influence Lin Yuan, since his experiment was to create Devil Fruit weapons for the powerful members of the merchant guild.
To their surprise, Lin Yuan showed no disappointment upon seeing the Skillful Grade Swords; instead, a smile appeared on his face.
"So that's how it is! Even Skillful Grade Swords can't satisfy the energy of Devil Fruit!"
As he spoke, Lin Yuan took out the Ame no Habakiri, and then carefully selected a Paramecia Rend-Rend Fruit with spatial properties!
"Master Lin Yuan, this is the Ame no Habakiri, are you really confident in its effectiveness?"
Kuina, watching Lin Yuan's actions, finally couldn't hold back any longer. This was Great Grade Sword on par with her own Wado Ichimonji.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm confident!"
Lin Yuan didn't wait for Kuina to continue speaking. He directly enveloped the Devil Fruit energy with the power of the Taiji Diagram, and at the same time, he unsheathed the " Mandala " sword, locking the energy inside tightly.
"Clang!"
Lin Yuan Ame no Habakiri Blade and, without hesitation, put the Great Grade Sword back into its sheath.
Soon, the Rend-Rend Fruit was forcibly pressed into the blade of Ame no Habakiri, while " Mandala " watched from the side, seemingly wanting to devour the Devil Fruit's energy.
Soon, the Devil Fruit energy reacted with Ame no Habakiri. Although there was still some repulsion, it was completely unable to damage Ame no Habakiri.
Under the watchful eyes of the three, the Ame no Habakiri finally changed. Although the original blade remained unchanged, a white arc of electricity flickered on its surface, as if it could tear everything apart.
"Haha, I see, it actually worked!"
Lin Yuan gripped the Ame no Habakiri, a smile appearing on his face, and casually swung it at a rock several meters high not far away.
Lin Yuan didn't use any other abilities, nor did he exert much of his strength. Then, under the watchful eyes of the three, several white slashes directly cleaved the stone into several pieces, leaving the surface perfectly smooth.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then increased his power, and the stone was torn to dust by countless slashes.
"Haha, that's quite an ability. Although it doesn't have as many abilities as the Mandala, the tearing ability alone increases the power of this knife several times over."
Kuina and Tashigi stared wide-eyed at the Ame no Habakiri.
Lin Yuan didn't hold back either, and said to Tashigi with a smile.
"Now that your strength has broken through to the level of a swordsman, you can have this sword. As for Shigure, you can keep it as a keepsake!"
Tashigi took it blankly, staring at Lin Yuan in disbelief.
"You just gave it to me like this?"
Lin Yuan's face revealed a meaningful expression as he rubbed her head and smiled.
"Of course, it's just a weapon!"
Originally, this Ame no Habakiri was left by Kozuki Oden to Kozuki Hiyori, but for some unknown reason, it ended up in the hands of Kozuki Sukiyaki.
Lin Yuan had no intention of returning Kozuki Hiyori; it just so happened that Tashigi had broken through, so giving it to her was perfect.
Lin Yuan looked at Kuina, who looked exactly like Tashigi, and continued speaking.
" Kuina, I've prepared two Devil Fruit for you. You eat one, and give the other to Wado Ichimonji."
Kuina couldn't wait any longer and immediately took out the Wado Ichimonji. As for eating Devil Fruit, she wasn't opposed to it at the moment.
"Then hurry up!"
"Ahem, it's getting late, I need to rest. It's just you guys for today!"
Kuina and Tashigi were stunned, their faces instantly turning red.
" Lin Yuan!"
"Call me Master, and as for Kuina, call her Grand Master!"
After saying that, Lin Yuan waved his hand and carried the two of them towards the dormitory, which was destined to be another sleepless night.
In the following period, after learning of Lin Yuan's success, Tesoro instructed all powerful individuals possessing Great Grade Sword or higher to notify him.
Lin Yuan did not refuse and enchanted all the weapons according to everyone's request. He also used the special metal provided by Tom to forge several gauntlets, each with two different Devil Fruit abilities.
This move greatly enhanced the strength of the Chamber of Commerce's powerful members, especially Zephyr and Naguri, who both acquired a pair of boxing gloves.
With the added power of two Devil Fruits, their strength reached the level of Emperor, and even Bullet and Redfield couldn't defeat them when they weren't using their Devil Fruit weapons.
This shocked everyone; it meant Lin Yuan could mass-produce Devil Fruit User.
However, the amount of special metal that could accommodate Devil Fruit was limited, so only ten gauntlets were made; otherwise, the merchant guild's resources would have been even more formidable.
Not long after Lin Yuan created the Devil Fruit weapon, Tom and his team also reactivated Pluton and repaired some of the damage inside.
According to Olvia's research, the damage was likely caused during the last great war, but it was not a problem for Tom and his team who created the new Pluton.
The reactivation of Pluton gave the Chamber of Commerce another trump card, and all the high-ranking members wore smiles.
Moreover, six months later, Kureha and her companions lived up to expectations. After Judge's arrival, they successfully developed a gene-based medicine to heal injuries and also repaired Zephyr and Golden Lion Shiki's severed arms and legs.
Just as everyone felt the New World was becoming peaceful, the " Abyss " Merchant Guild was increasing its strength at an alarming rate.
