Upon learning that Enel would be bringing Kuzan to the merchant guild, Tesoro immediately arranged for people to receive him. However, he did not inform Lin Yuan, as Monet would naturally tell him the news.
As for Kuzan, he never expected to be invited by someone one day, and he rode his bicycle there in a daze.
After riding for a full day, he finally saw a merchant ship come to pick him up, leaving Kuzan completely bewildered. If he hadn't been so good-natured, he probably would have turned around and left long ago.
As for Enel, he had long since disappeared. He simply pointed Kuzan in a direction and then quickly left.
According to Enel, although Kuzan was very strong, he was not a major threat, and the merchant guild had no shortage of people with his strength.
However, Kuzan was not angry at all. Instead, he observed everything in the " Abyss " Merchant Guild with great interest, especially this ship, which was even faster than Marine warship.
To his surprise, when the ship passed the island where the " Abyss " headquarters, which was once under the control of the Navy, did not stop, but continued to move towards the New World.
Only then did Kuzan finally realize that the Navy's decision to wage war was a joke; they didn't even know the enemy's headquarters.
Frustrated, Kuzan simply ignored everything and lay down on the deck chair, ready to see the real " Abyss " Merchant Guild.
" Lin Yuan, we've received news that Enel has met with Kuzan, and Kuzan is currently on his way here."
Monet sat down next to Lin Yuan and, together with Ain, massaged his back to help Lin Yuan relax.
Lin Yuan turned his head away, listening to Monet recount Enel's meeting with Kuzan.
"Hmph, that Enel, I really don't know what he was thinking, doing something like this. He really needs to be taught a lesson."
Lin Yuan couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, but then he thought of Kuzan and laughed.
Honestly, if Kuzan hadn't intentionally let him go back then, he might already be in Impel Down, and he even tricked Kuzan.
" Lin Yuan, what are you thinking about? Why did you suddenly laugh?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about some things that happened with Kuzan back then. Let me tell you, the first time I met him, I got beaten up pretty badly!"
Hearing this, Monet and Ain were both somewhat surprised. In their minds, Lin Yuan had always been an invincible figure, even Marine Admiral was no match for him. How could Lin Yuan have this past with Kuzan?
Lin Yuan didn't hide anything, but recounted his encounter with Kuzan in Ohara. When he talked about how he was seriously injured, Monet and Ain couldn't help but become nervous.
However, when they heard Lin Yuan later jump into the sea with Robin and what he said, they felt both sorry for him and found it somewhat amusing.
"Hahaha, you're so wicked! I wonder what kind of expression a dignified Marine Admiral would have had back then."
"He wasn't Marine Admiral back then, but his strength was probably at the Admiral level. I didn't even have time to take this Mandala with me; I only got it back from Kuzan later."
"Zheng..."
" Mandala " chirped in response, seemingly aware that it had been away from its owner for some time.
"So what are you going to do when Admiral Kuzan comes this time?"
The speaker was Ain. As a fellow disciple of Zephyr and a former Marine, Ain knew Kuzan quite well.
A hint of a smile flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes as he spoke softly.
"Heh, since you're here, you might as well stay. After all, he is Kuzan."
The ship that transported Kuzan sailed for a full week before arriving at the Merchant Guild headquarters, where Tesoro and Enel personally came to greet them.
Looking at the island, which was exactly the same as it had been a few days ago, Kuzan couldn't help but marvel at the " Abyss " Merchant Guild's extravagance.
"Hehe, welcome Mr. Kuzan, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Tesoro's enthusiasm made Kuzan feel a little uncomfortable. They had fought to the death before, but he never expected that the other party would come to greet him personally.
As a former Marine Admiral, Kuzan knew that the apparent controller of the " Abyss " Trading Company was Tesoro, and the powerful aura emanating from him made him take notice.
However, being a man of the world, Kuzan quickly adjusted his mindset and said with a smile.
"Mr. Tesoro, you're too kind. I never expected we'd meet again like this."
At this point, Kuzan's gaze fell on Enel, a meaningful glint in his eyes.
"Crack..."
Enel nonchalantly took out an apple, took a bite, and showed no fear of the other's gaze.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
" Kuzan, you're finally here! Long time no see!"
Kuzan was taken aback and turned to look in the direction of the voice. He saw a burly old man slowly walking over with a smile on his face.
When Kuzan saw the person's face clearly, his pupils contracted, and his face was full of disbelief.
" Teacher Zephyr!"
In the reception hall of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, a huge dining table was laden with countless delicacies. Kuzan and Zephyr sat together, and even now, he was still somewhat shocked.
" Teacher Zephyr, it's been so many years since I heard from you. I never imagined you'd joined the Abyss Chamber of Commerce. I looked for you for a while, thinking you'd met with some misfortune."
"Haha, you've got a conscience, kid. But I'm doing great now. You should spend more time talking to the old man from now on."
Kuzan gave a wry smile; he had come here without deciding whether to join.
Just then, a voice rang out again.
" Kuzan, long time no see!"
The visitor was Lin Yuan. After learning about Kuzan, he decided to show himself and talk to him. Regardless of the other party's purpose, since he had come, Lin Yuan would not let him leave.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan's arrival, Tesoro, Enel, and Zephyr all stood up and greeted him with smiles.
" Lin Yuan, long time no see! It seems you've gotten even stronger!"
Kuzan somewhat surprised because he couldn't sense any aura from Lin Yuan, which puzzled him. He wondered how the other party cultivated.
"It's alright. Since you're here, let me introduce you to some people. You guys come out too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bullet, Redfield, Mihawk, Hancock, Yamato, Kuina, and Robin all appeared one by one.
Kuzan could no longer control himself and lost his composure for the first time.
How did you get here?
Even Kuzan himself didn't realize that his voice was trembling slightly.
Apart from Robin, the auras of the others in front of him were all at the Admiral level.
Kuzan turned to look at Zephyr, Enel, and Tesoro, and finally gave Lin Yuan a deep look before speaking.
"It seems everyone has been deceived by you!"
