"Belch..."
It took Lin Yuan three days and three nights before he finally stopped eating. By then, all the chefs on the island were exhausted.
As for the others, they had watched for three days and three nights, their faces already numb. According to their estimation, the amount of food Lin Yuan had eaten in those three days was enough to fill a palace.
"Bang..."
Lin Yuan's body trembled slightly, and the bloodstains instantly fell off, even the scars on his body disappeared. At this moment, he felt extremely comfortable; the feeling of his strength being completely restored was simply wonderful.
Lin Yuan took the towel Robin handed him, casually wiped his mouth, and smiled at everyone.
"What's wrong? Everyone's making that face!"
"Big brother, are you full? Do you feel unwell?"
Seeing Enel stammering, Lin Yuan glared at him irritably.
"Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get back!"
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, no one spoke, and they silently followed behind him.
As they passed the shattered plaza, everyone's gaze sharpened once more; this was where they usually trained.
Back in the conference room, Lin Yuan sat directly in the head seat, and the others also took their seats.
There were many people present this time. Apart from Naguri, almost all the powerful figures were there, as well as Lin Yuan's group of women.
Whitebeard Newgate spoke first, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
" Lin Yuan, although I've heard about what happened from Tesoro and the others, I still want to ask, do you know who caused the trouble, and is that powerful individual truly just a puppet?"
This happened so suddenly that everyone else looked at Lin Yuan with curiosity.
"This matter is not urgent, Lin Yuan. Are you alright? With your strength, how could anyone in this world possibly inflict such serious injuries on you?"
It was Hancock who spoke; she didn't care what had happened, her only concern was Lin Yuan's safety, and Robin and the others felt the same way.
Seeing their words, Whitebeard Newgate and the others couldn't say anything more; indeed, Lin Yuan's safety was more important.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm fine. Let me tell you all about it. I was originally looking for ways to further improve my strength, but something unexpected happened. Developing the fruit almost exhausted all my energy."
"When I came to my senses, I found Enel and Zephyr fighting that thing, which was kind of a controlled corpse!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Gecko Moria.
Gecko Moria was startled, his face turned pale, and he quickly explained.
"Why are you all staring at me? This is all the strength I have. You don't actually think I have the ability to manipulate a corpse that could defeat Lin Yuan, do you?"
"Yes, that's true. You're the weakest, so you really can't do that!"
" Crocodile, what did you say? I might not be able to beat others, but I'm not afraid of you!"
"Hmph, you think you can beat me? I'll give you a handicap with one hand!"
Seeing the two bickering, the others ignored them and prepared to continue listening to Lin Yuan's story. Crocodile and Gecko Moria also obediently shut up.
"Well, although I was exhausted, dealing with that thing wasn't actually difficult. The only problem was that during the fight, I had a feeling of being watched, but I couldn't detect it."
Upon hearing this, everyone was even more surprised. Almost everyone here was a master of Haki, but Enel and Redfield had the deepest understanding of Observation Haki. However, they knew that Lin Yuan's Observation Haki was probably even better than theirs.
" Lin Yuan, with your strength, you didn't even detect the other party?"
A glint of light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he nodded.
"Yes, I didn't find anything, but the feeling of being watched made me cautious, which is why I resorted to hand-to-hand combat."
Although Lin Yuan was physically exhausted, he was confident that if he used the " Mandala " and his abilities, he could defeat even the strongest thing, instead of slowly wearing it down.
"You all need to be careful too. I have a feeling that their target is me, not just a test, but someone who wants to kill me. Imu is likely behind it all."
"Only she has this ability. Otherwise, I can't imagine who else could possess such a powerful puppet, whose strength is no less than Bullet's."
" Imu is no weaker than Bullet!"
Everyone was surprised; Bullet's strength was among the top five, even among these people.
" Lin Yuan, so you feigned weakness to try and lull the enemy into a false sense of security?"
Zephyr had witnessed Lin Yuan's battle firsthand and quickly guessed his purpose.
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, then spoke.
"That's right, now is not the time to go to war with the World Government. Although I am confident, it could result in mutual destruction, after all, the other side is very strong!"
The crowd's expressions softened considerably. Although they felt that the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce was now incredibly powerful, Lin Yuan was doing it for their own good.
"Boss, what are your plans for the future? Should we test the strength of the World Government?"
Tesoro suggested.
Lin Yuan pondered silently for a moment, then shook his head and said casually.
"No need. Since they're just using a puppet to test us, they probably won't take me seriously anymore. Let's proceed according to plan."
"By the way, Tesoro, tell me what's been happening in the last month!"
Tesoro nodded, then said, "Boss, the Navy's World Military Draft has ended. Just to be on the safe side, we've sent in three Vice Admiral admirals."
"Furthermore, Sengoku has resigned from his position as Fleet Admiral. After a decisive battle Marine Admiral Sakazuki and Kuzan, Sakazuki emerged victorious, while Kuzan has gone missing."
A glint of light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes; it seemed that quite a lot had happened during his seclusion.
"Well, in that case, let's leave the navy alone for now. As for Kuzan, have someone investigate his whereabouts, but don't be too vigilant."
According to Lin Yuan's plan, now that Blackbeard has been killed by him, Kuzan doesn't have many options left and is very likely to come after him.
However, it doesn't matter what choice he makes, because the war he will wage will be beyond the control of a Admiral.
Is there anything else?
"Yes, boss. Vinsmoke Family Judge from the North Blue is on his way and should arrive Vinsmoke about three days."
"Hmm? Vinsmoke Judge!"
If Tesoro hadn't reminded him, Lin Yuan would have forgotten about it. Since Kureha and the others developed gene recombination, they no longer needed Judge's technology.
However, since they've come, we can absorb them, as their research capabilities are quite strong, which would be icing on the cake.
"Well, in that case, let him hand over the combat suit technology, and give the rest to Kureha. We can also temporarily entrust the North Blue to him!"
Tesoro nodded, indicating that he understood.
After finishing his story, Lin Yuan looked at Zephyr, Whitebeard Newgate, Bullet, and Redfield, a smile appearing on his face.
"Contact Kaido and Linlin. We're heading to Elbaf, the Giant Kingdom! We'll depart in seven days!"
Lin Yuan was also curious about this world's number one superpower, and so were everyone else.
"Hahaha, let's go and see if this world's number one superpower is more powerful, or if we old folks are more powerful!"
Whitebeard Newgate instantly perked up. Since he no longer had to worry about the future of the Whitebeard Pirates after his death, he felt that life was becoming more and more exciting.
Hahahahaha...
Immediately, the entire conference room was filled with the arrogant and unrestrained laughter of these old men.
