Seeing the actions of Whitebeard Newgate and the others, Zephyr realized he had gone too far. Lin Yuan's strength was undeniable; ordinary people simply couldn't possibly shake him.
However, he did not regret it. Although he knew that Whitebeard Newgate cared more about Lin Yuan than he did, after what had just happened, he finally saw hope.
Zephyr never expected that Lin Yuan, on a whim, would actually take him back to the past, even if only for a moment, but it gave him a glimmer of hope.
Zephyr glanced at Lin Yuan, who was recovering, and thought to himself with excitement.
"If Lin Yuan could take me back to the past, even just for a little while, I would be grateful if I could help. Then I would have no regrets in this life."
And so, while the giants below waged war, Redfield continued to purge the World Government's spies.
Above the Flame Clouds, Zephyr and the others protected Lin Yuan, afraid that others would disturb him. Although they didn't understand what had happened, they had no other choice at the moment.
"Call..."
Half an hour passed, Redfield finally dealt with the people hiding below. When he saw Zephyr and the others, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"What are you doing? Zephyr, why have you transformed? Your weapons are activated!"
Redfield looked at his old friends, then glanced around, even scanning the area with his Observation Haki. His confusion deepened. There was no danger at all!
"Heh, who knows what's wrong with that old Zephyr? Lin Yuan suddenly sat down just now, and that's how he is now. Even we can't get close to him!"
Golden Lion Shiki said somewhat discontentedly, " Lin Yuan saved my life, and Zephyr's actions clearly show that he doesn't trust me."
"Mamamama, never mind, that's just how that old man Zephyr is. Let's wait until Lin Yuan wakes up!"
"Hey, Zephyr, you old codger, what exactly happened? You know our personalities, so just explain yourself!"
Zephyr noticed the group's dissatisfaction, but he didn't change things. Instead, he offered an explanation.
"I apologize, everyone, I got a little excited. But Lin Yuan did do something just now, and I saw hope in him."
As for what exactly happened to Lin Yuan, Zephyr didn't explain clearly, but he guessed it was related to Lin Yuan's abilities.
This startled Zephyr, though, as they had clearly traveled through time and space, yet these people hadn't noticed.
Redfield looked at Zephyr, a shock running through him. What could have happened that kept Whitebeard Newgate, and the others completely unaware?
Time passed slowly, and three hours later, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and took out food again to replenish his strength.
Seeing that Lin Yuan had recovered, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zephyr also returned to normal.
"Mr. Zephyr, I'm fine. Don't worry about me anymore!"
Although Lin Yuan was reflecting on his recent experience, he was also aware of what was happening in the outside world, and couldn't help but feel somewhat moved.
"Haha, I'm so glad you're alright, so glad you're alright!"
Seeing Zephyr's appearance, Lin Yuan felt a pang of pity and sighed.
"I understand your thoughts, but I need to do some more research. Finding the right time and ensuring I can make a move isn't possible right now."
"I assure you, that day isn't far off. Once everything is over, I'll send you there and handle things personally. How about that?"
Zephyr smiled; he was very satisfied that Lin Yuan had said that.
"No rush, no rush. I will help you completely overthrow the World Government. I can wait."
Lin Yuan nodded, eating quickly while glancing at Redfield.
"Is the next matter resolved?"
"Yes, it's all cleared out. I left a few alive, and killed the rest."
Lin Yuan nodded without saying anything.
It took Lin Yuan a full hour to eat before he finally stretched his muscles with satisfaction.
Seeing the food he ate, Mado and the other giants almost popped their eyes out. The food Lin Yuan had just eaten had terrified them.
"Alright, since that's the case, it's time to resolve the Elbaf issue. We can't let them continue fighting."
Bullet and Shiki immediately perked up; had it not been for the unexpected turn of events, they would have loved to go down and fight as well.
"Chief Lin Yuan, shouldn't we also make a move?"
Lin Yuan glanced helplessly at the group, then at Mado and the others, and spoke.
"Alright, since you all want to make a move, then all of you do it! Separate them all. Also, Redfield, go and drag out all the Nezumi inside!"
"No problem, my master!"
At Lin Yuan's command, Whitebeard Newgate, Shiki, Bullet, Kaido, Lot Linlin, Mihawk, Gaban, and the giants all began to rub their hands together in anticipation.
After Lin Yuan led the group to lower the Flame Clouds to a certain height, they immediately jumped down.
Loki and Elder Mohammed, who were locked in fierce combat, never expected that someone would suddenly appear and join the battle.
However, Whitebeard Newgate and his crew didn't give them a chance to react.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Apart from Zephyr, who was right next to Lin Yuan, the others who went down were all Awakening Conqueror's Haki users, and they all unleashed their Conqueror's Haki without any restraint.
Even Gaban was no exception; before coming down, Whitebeard Newgate briefly explained the tactics to the group.
The sky over the entire Sun World instantly darkened, countless bolts of lightning flashed, and the world seemed to be destroyed. Even with the Treasure Tree Adam as support, the ground was still shaken and cracked.
Loki, Mohammed, and the others paled, for seven terrifying Conqueror's Haki were enough to overwhelm even the physically powerful giants.
Apart from the giants with the strength of Admiral, such as Loki and the three powerful men he brought, Ren, Gaban, and Just, as well as the elders, all the other giants present bowed their heads.
Some of the weaker giants even rolled their eyes back and fainted, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.
You're asking for it!
Loki was shocked to see the group of powerful figures suddenly appear. He also unleashed a terrifying Conqueror's Haki and swung his Iron Thunder Hammer toward Whitebeard Newgate and the others.
A smile spread across Whitebeard Newgate's face as the Murakumogiri in his hand instantly transformed into a giant hammer with massive spikes. Enveloped in Armament Haki, he slammed it towards Loki.
"Boom..."
The two peerless weapons collided violently, causing a massive explosion. Countless energies surged around them, instantly creating a crater hundreds of meters deep in the ground.
The giants that got close to them were blasted away by the aftershocks.
Bullet, Shiki, Mihawk, Lot Linlin, Kaido, and the others all joined in, unleashing their attacks on the giants who possessed the strength of Admiral.
As for Redfield, his figure moved through the crowd like a ghost, his sword moving so fast it was almost invisible. Wherever he went, a giant fell to the ground.
Not only that, but three of the elders beside Mohammed were also stabbed by Redfield and lost their ability to resist.
Gaban quickly approached Loki and said in a cold voice.
" Loki, stop right now. This isn't something that can be solved with war."
Mohammed was furious as he looked at the group that had suddenly attacked.
" Whitebeard Newgate, why are you attacking everyone? Does Lin Yuan want to conquer all of Elbaf? Gaban, do you also want to be a traitor?"
Gaban's wife, Ripley, did not lay a hand on him throughout the entire ordeal. Although she was puzzled as to why Gaban would do such a thing, she trusted her husband.
However, seeing that the powerful figures Lin Yuan brought almost instantly suppressed all the Giant Race experts, she was also shocked.
This time, Bullet and the others didn't hold back, using almost everything they had: Devil Fruit abilities, Haki, swordsmanship, and Devil Fruit weapons.
Ren and the Giant Race warriors brought by Loki, who had originally thought they could put up a fight, were almost instantly knocked to the ground.
As for the giants, including Mado, who came to help, they were practically cursing. They had originally wanted to fight, but they were first suppressed by the Conqueror's Haki of the group.
By the time they realized what was happening, the war was almost instantly suppressed. They didn't even have a chance to fight back, and they lost their chance to drink and boast in the future.
"Thump thump thump... thump thump thump..."
Just then, a figure appeared in mid-air. Each step he took was on the void, yet it was as if he were walking on flat ground, with countless ripples surging outwards.
The newcomer was Lin Yuan. He looked down at the crowd with a cold expression and spoke in a chilling tone.
"Stop it, all of you!"
