Three days later, when Lin Yuan returned to the " Abyss " headquarters, Uta was also startled by Lin Yuan's women.
Although she knew Lin Yuan had women, she didn't expect there to be so many. However, thinking about how powerful he was, Uta's face couldn't help but turn red.
Robin and the others, however, were very welcoming of Uta's arrival.
"Brother Lin Yuan, you found everyone a sister this time you went out!"
Hearing Robin's teasing, Lin Yuan couldn't help but glare at her, but it had no effect whatsoever. The cunning Robin even returned a provocative look.
"Alright, this is Uta. From now on, she'll be your sister. Monet, please help her find a room."
"OK!"
"Wow, you're Monet! I've heard of you before. I remember hearing your Visual Den Den Mushi song, it was absolutely wonderful!"
Just then, Nami exclaimed and instantly appeared in front of Uta, saying with a smile on her face.
Now everyone realized what was happening. They had naturally heard Uta's singing before, but it had disappeared half a year ago, so they hadn't recognized her at first.
Seeing that so many people liked her, Uta smiled and quickly became one of them.
For the rest of the time, Lin Yuan did not leave, but instead spent his time with his women, living a life of debauchery every day.
Meanwhile, Enel, having received Tesoro's notification, has also located Kuzan.
Enel had dealt with this former Marine Admiral before and knew how powerful he was, so he hadn't met with him in the past few days, instead silently observing him.
To his surprise, Kuzan hadn't done anything else these past few days, just wandered around and enjoyed soaking in hot springs.
After observing for a few days and finding nothing amiss, Enel decided to stop hiding and meet the other party directly.
At this moment, Kuzan was sitting quietly in a two-story tavern, drinking his wine while looking at the bustling street outside with a complicated expression.
Over the years, he had visited countless islands and countries, even Mary Geoise, but no place had ever made him feel so at peace.
Perhaps he had seen too much darkness. Although he had dealt with many pirates, what he saw during his time in the " Abyss " Merchant Guild's territory completely overturned his understanding.
"Since you're here, would you like to come over for a drink? Your secret observations these past few days don't seem like Thunder God's style."
Kuzan didn't look away, but spoke softly to the distance.
"Sizzle..."
A flash of lightning, Enel appeared instantly in front of Kuzan.
Enel plopped down opposite Kuzan, pulled out an apple from somewhere, and started munching on it without any regard for appearances.
"Wow, as expected of Thunder God who can rival Borsalino in speed, his strength is increasing really fast."
Kuzan took a sip of his drink, then smiled and began to speak.
Enel paused, his hand still injured, and silently glanced at Kuzan's broken right leg, a smile also on his face.
"I never expected that a high-ranking Admiral of the Marine Headquarters would be in such a sorry state."
Despite saying this, Enel had to admit the opponent's strength. As a fellow Logia Devil Fruit User, he hadn't expected Kuzan to have discovered him so early.
Despite having a broken leg, his aura remained powerful, and Enel had to admit that his opponent was stronger than himself.
Over the years he'd followed Lin Yuan, Enel, though still somewhat unruly, was no longer someone who knew nothing. Moreover, he had spent a considerable amount of time learning from Tesoro and had developed his own opinions.
Kuzan's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled calmly as before.
"Heh, I'm no longer Marine Admiral, but a defector."
"Oh, then I wonder what brings Mr. Kuzan to our territory?"
Enel devoured an apple in a few bites, then took out another and continued munching on it.
"Nothing much, just wanted to come and take a look. I have to say, seeing how Lin Yuan has managed this territory, one can't help but admire the Abyss Chamber of Commerce. I'm sure Lin Yuan has put in a lot of effort!"
Enel was taken aback, then his lips twitched involuntarily. Although he admired his older brother, he also knew Lin Yuan's hands-off management style.
Although the rise of the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce was due to Lin Yuan's existence, it's not accurate to say that he devoted a great deal of effort to it.
Enel couldn't help but think of Tesoro's busy schedule from morning till night, and a chill ran down his spine.
However, since Kuzan praised his older brother so highly, Enel naturally wouldn't object; instead, he smiled with pride.
"Then you're right. Without Big Brother, we wouldn't be where we are today. Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce is gathered here because of Big Brother, and with his abilities, there's nothing in this world he doesn't know."
At this point, Enel looked at Kuzan with a smile on his face.
"For example, as early as six months ago, my older brother knew you were coming, and he even helped you heal your broken right leg, but he didn't expect you to come now."
Upon hearing this, even Kuzan couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and his heart was filled with unease.
"Oh, really? He actually knew I'd be here? And he knew I'd get my legs broken!"
"Tch, so what? We know exactly where you fought Sakazuki back then. It's just that Big Brother didn't agree to let us launch a surprise attack. Otherwise, do you think the Navy would still exist today!"
Enel with a smug look on his face, not afraid at all that Kuzan would find out about this. According to Lin Yuan, it was all in the past, and it wouldn't matter even if the other party knew.
"Alright, let's get back to the point. I came here today to see what you're doing here, and also to invite you to join the merchant guild. As a condition of your joining, the navy will not be destroyed in the future."
Kuzan was a little stunned, not expecting Enel to be so direct. He was a former Marine Admiral, and although he had officially defected from the Marines, no one had ever tried to recruit him right away!
Even though the " Abyss " Merchant Guild is powerful, has many strong members, and is extremely wealthy, my own strength is among the world's top level. From Enel's words, it seems that Lin Yuan doesn't value me that much!
A glint of light flashed in Enel's eyes; he seemed to know something. He continued speaking with a smile.
"By the way, your teacher is at our headquarters. He knows I'm coming. If you've eaten, then come with me!"
Enel didn't care whether Kuzan or not, and simply disappeared from the spot, reappearing at the beach.
He pulled out a bicycle from somewhere, turned to look at Kuzan who was following behind him, and said with a smile.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so fast! This bicycle was prepared for you by your older brother. He said your favorite thing to do is ride around and show off."
Kuzan:...
