At this moment, the battle between the Giant Race intensified. Although Loki was powerful, he was unable to defeat his opponent for the time being, even with the combined efforts of Ren and Gaban.
However, these Giant Race that Loki brought from the Underworld were much stronger than ordinary giants, and the people that Mohammed brought were unable to defeat them.
Seeing this, Mado and the others were eager to try, but they dared not make a move because of Lin Yuan's terrifying suppression just now.
Lin Yuan watched the battle below with great interest, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced around and saw that many other eyes were also focused on the fight, and there were quite a few people wearing masks.
" Redfield, those Nezumi have appeared; it's time to clean them up."
Redfield gave Lin Yuan a graceful gentlemanly bow, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and suddenly spread his enormous wings, instantly transforming his somewhat aged face into that of a young man.
"Yes, sir!"
With a slight flap of its enormous bat wings, Redfield's figure instantly took to the air and flew off in one direction.
At that moment, a tall man was coldly watching the battlefield, muttering something from time to time.
"Hehe, little friend, what are you looking at?"
The man was startled by the sudden sound and turned around instantly, only to see a handsome young man with huge bat wings staring at him with a smile.
"Who are you? How did you get here?"
Redfield smiled gently, elegantly raising his hand. His reddened eyes seemed to see right through the other man's thoughts, causing him to shiver involuntarily. Just as he was about to make a move, everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.
Redfield gently withdrew his hand from the other's neck, his face turning unusually cold.
"Hmph, a bunch of little Nezumi. I didn't expect you to have already started plotting in Elbaf. But you're unlucky to have run into me, and that terrifying guy too."
Redfield's Observation Haki is very special, allowing him to see into people's minds. In battle, he can be one step ahead, easily dodge the opponent's attacks, and even launch a counterattack.
To Redfield's surprise, his Observation Haki had absolutely no effect on Lin Yuan. In his perception, Lin Yuan's heart was like a calm, unfathomable ocean.
What alarmed Redfield even more was that Lin Yuan's decision to send him out this time seemed to be not only to eliminate these World Government spies, but also possibly to test him.
When Lin Yuan asked who Lot Linlin really was, Redfield was somewhat surprised. Although he didn't understand the situation, he didn't expect that Lot Linlin might actually be someone else.
"Heh, why think so much? I'm just a somewhat lost person myself. Now that I have a goal, the stronger Lin Yuan is, the better, and the more trump cards he has, the better. Perhaps, he really will change this world."
"And I, now, am merely his butler!"
Redfield looked towards where Lin Yuan was, a smile appearing on his face. With a flap of his wings, he vanished from the spot in an instant.
When Redfield looked over, Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled as well.
Whitebeard Newgate and the others naturally saw Redfield's actions and were all speechless with astonishment.
"Good heavens, this old guy has been hiding his strength very well. When we fought him a while ago, he definitely wasn't using his full strength."
"That's right, and how did this old guy suddenly become so young? Lin Yuan, the Devil Fruit you gave him has this ability?"
The group chattered amongst themselves, their eyes fixed intently on the commotion below.
" Lin Yuan, are these people from the World Government? There are even Giant Race among them. Aren't they supposed to be united against outsiders?"
Watching Redfield swiftly eliminate the people hiding in the shadows, a hint of disdain flashed across Lin Yuan's face.
"You've all wasted so many years of your lives. You should know that no one in this world is perfect. To win someone over, you always have to find their weakness. If you fail, it's because you haven't given them enough."
Zephyr nodded in empathy, thinking about the contrast between his time in the Navy and his current situation—it was like heaven and earth.
In order to win him over, Lin Yuan not only gave him weapons and healed his injuries and arm, but also gave him hope.
After so much time, he knew that he might see his wife and children again, but they wouldn't be the same as they are now. That's why he was willing to accept the Mythical Zoan Fruit.
What's done is done. Even if he could go back in time and save his wife and children, it would only make up for his regrets.
" Lin Yuan, after this is all over, I hope to go back in time, even if it's just to change the fate of another version of myself. I will take the head of one of the Five Elders."
Lin Yuan looked at Zephyr in surprise, not expecting him to think of this. However, this was a condition he had agreed to, so he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.
"Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. Although I haven't found that fruit, my fruit ability should be able to achieve that as well."
Lin Yuan waved his arms and shouted, and ripples of time slowly appeared around his body, completely enveloping him and Zephyr.
Time Travel!!!
Zephyr was surprised to find that everything around him had stopped. Lin Yuan suddenly made a move, pulling him away and disappearing from the spot.
In Zephyr's eyes, the world around him had truly changed; heaven and earth seemed to reverse, and time seemed to rewind. When time finally stopped again, he saw another version of himself, angrily leaving the Navy and forming Marine Guerrillas.
" Lin Yuan, what is this? We've really gone back to the past!"
However, Lin Yuan did not reply to him. In Lin Yuan's eyes, the world had changed. A rushing river of time seemed to be flowing between heaven and earth, and he was like a tiny speck of dust.
Feeling his physical strength and time manipulation abilities being rapidly depleted, Lin Yuan did not continue. Instead, he reversed time again, returning to the original timeline almost instantly.
Meanwhile, the war below continued, and Redfield was quickly eliminating the World Government's spies. Whitebeard Newgate, and others were observing the scene below and occasionally offering their comments.
As for Lin Yuan and Zephyr, their reactions were different. Lin Yuan's face was a little pale at this moment. He sat directly on the Flame Clouds and closed his eyes to slowly experience the power he had just experienced.
Zephyr, however, looked at Lin Yuan with excitement, his body trembling slightly, thinking in disbelief about what he had just witnessed.
Lin Yuan's unusual behavior immediately caught the attention of Whitebeard Newgate and the others, who wondered why he had suddenly become so weak.
"All of you step back and stay away from Lin Yuan!"
Zephyr gave a soft shout and instantly appeared in front of Lin Yuan, two Devil Fruit gauntlets appearing in his hands. At the same time, his body began to transform, and he transformed into the Yamata no Orochi Form to protect Lin Yuan.
At this moment, Zephyr trusted no one, not even Whitebeard Newgate and the others, whom he blocked.
" Zephyr, what's wrong with you, old man? What happened? What's wrong with Lin Yuan?"
"I know you have no ill intentions, but from now until Lin Yuan wakes up, I will guard Lin Yuan, and no one will be allowed to approach him."
A glint flashed in Whitebeard Newgate's eyes, then he turned his back to Zephyr and Lin Yuan, holding the Murakumogiri in his hand, and his aura also erupted.
Although Bullet, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Shiki, Mihawk, and Gaban didn't know what had happened, they chose to do the same thing as Whitebeard Newgate.
Mado and the other giants were startled by the situation before them and dared not make a move. At this moment, they all regretted that they had come along. They could not do anything and were threatened by these old men.
"Old man, now you should tell me what happened!"
