Seeing Redfield and other former notorious pirates reappear, Kuzan finally understood many things.
When the Whitebeard Pirates launched the Paramount War, the Navy's intelligence department received information that Blackbeard had attacked Impel Down and released all the pirates.
The powerful pirates on the sixth floor, in particular, enraged the World Government, which launched a full-scale manhunt for the escaped pirates.
However, neither the World Government's intelligence agencies nor the Marine Headquarters ' intelligence agencies found any trace of the Blackbeard Pirates; they seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Not only the Blackbeard Pirates, but all the pirates on the sixth floor have disappeared without a trace. To this day, the World Government is still investigating their whereabouts.
They will not allow this force, which could threaten the World Government, to exist.
Lin Yuan examined Kuzan's severed leg. He hadn't expected that Kuzan would still not escape this fate. Fortunately, he had obtained the other party's blood and cultivated Kuzan's genetic organs.
Although Vegapunk is very powerful, capable of cloning the Shichibukai in the original work, Lin Yuan's research personnel are no less capable.
Kureha, in particular, despite being a doctor, possessed a level of insight that was greatly admired by Doctor Acier, Caesar Courland, and Judge.
In addition, Lin Yuan also threw Queen, one of Kaido's All-Stars, into the research base on the Sky Island. A mere genetic organ was not a difficult problem.
"Ahem, please excuse my poor performance. I merely entered Impel Down ahead of schedule. With my strength, coming and going from there is nothing at all."
Kuzan's lips twitched, but he didn't refute it. He had fought Lin Yuan more than once or twice, so he naturally knew how terrifying the other party was.
Compared to Lin Yuan, neither he, nor Borsalino, nor Sakazuki, who were known as naval monsters, were on the same Lin Yuan.
Kuzan's gaze returned to Bullet and Redfield, then he looked seriously at Lin Yuan.
"Can you tell me where those pirates from the sixth floor went?"
Although Kuzan was prepared to Lin Yuan, he would never join the " Abyss " Merchant Guild if Lin Yuan actually released those pirates.
Although Lin Yuan might bring even greater terror to this world, at the moment, Kuzan is more interested in dealing with the escaped pirates, because they are all ruthless and bloodthirsty individuals.
Lin Yuan laughed, "Hehe, I'm not one of those trash from the World Government. Now that I'm gone, those guys will naturally never have another chance to appear in the world."
"I didn't keep anyone except Bullet and Redfield."
For some reason, upon hearing Lin Yuan say this, Kuzan felt a strange sense of relief, but he quickly frowned.
"Oh my, what terrifying guys. But have you ever considered that many of those people Devil Fruit User? Once their Devil Fruit are revived, a new batch of pirates will emerge in a short time."
Lin Yuan laughed, then looked at Kuina.
" Kuina, how about showing off your skills to our Admiral Aokiji?"
Kuina stood up with a smile, reached out and drew the " Wado Ichimonji," and a terrifying, sharp aura suddenly burst forth from her body.
Kuzan's pupils contracted; he hadn't expected the woman before him to be even stronger than Gion.
Kuina made a slight adjustment, then instantly struck with her sword.
" More-More Fruit - Slash!"
Suddenly, the " Wado Ichimonji " in Kuina's hand was drawn from its sheath and transformed into a giant sword several tens of meters long.
Fortunately, the room here is big enough, otherwise I might have been cleaved in two by Kuina's sword.
"It's Bondi Waddle's More-More Fruit! I can't believe your subordinate got it!"
"Hehe, alright Kuzan, there are some things I can't tell you right now, but since you're here, I'll invite you to join again. From now on, you'll keep Zephyr!"
"Haha, yeah, Kuzan, you can stay here. I'll help you hone your Haki a bit more later!"
Seeing Lin Yuan recruiting Kuzan, Zephyr spoke up at the opportune moment. Although he knew Lin Yuan was easy to talk to, Zephyr knew that it depended on the situation. When Bullet and the others appeared, Kuzan actually had no choice.
Or rather, the moment Kuzan stepped onto the headquarters of the Abyss Chamber of Commerce, he had no choice.
Kuzan glanced at Zephyr, then at Lin Yuan, and finally could only say helplessly.
"Oh dear, it seems I have no other choice. I'm like a lamb entering a tiger's den."
"Hahaha, how could it be like lambs to the slaughter? You can leave if you want; welcome to the guild. Zephyr, why don't you tell Kuzan about the true situation of the guild? We don't have much time left; the big show is about to begin."
Lin Yuan didn't stay long; he chatted with everyone for a while before leaving.
As for Kuzan, Zephyr arranged it and told him about the Abyss Chamber of Commerce.
Although Zephyr only told a portion of the information because of Kuzan's identity and did not mention that Whitebeard and the other three major pirate crews had been absorbed, he did not hide the fact that Lin Yuan had subdued the former Shichibukai.
Even so, it still shocked Kuzan, a former Marine Admiral, because he saw eleven powerful Admirals: Lin Yuan, Zephyr, Bullet, Redfield, Shiki, Enel, Tesoro, Mihawk, Hancock, Yamato, and Kuina.
In addition to Naguri, who wasn't present, and himself, there were already thirteen powerful individuals.
What Kuzan the most was that, apart from Lin Yuan, Enel, and Naguri, the outside world seemed to know that the " Abyss " Merchant Guild didn't have any other Admiral powerhouses. They even knew that Lin Yuan had many women, but they never expected that there were three Admiral powerhouses among them.
Thinking back to how Lin Yuan only dispatched three people to defeat the Buster Call launched by Garp and three Marine Admiral, Kuzan couldn't help but feel bitter. If all of them had shown up, there would have been no chance for Marine Headquarters.
Not to mention the Marine Headquarters, Kuzan felt that Lin Yuan's strength was now enough to rival the World Government. Thinking of the World Government, Kuzan's pupils suddenly contracted, the gloom in his heart vanished, and he instantly understood everything.
" The World Government, it turns out the Abyss Chamber of Commerce's true goal wasn't to become a regional hegemon at all; what they wanted was this world. Those Five Emperors? That bunch of trash actually put Lin Yuan on par with the others!"
At that moment, Kuzan suddenly felt an urge to laugh. What were the Marine Admiral and the Four Emperors? They probably wouldn't be enough to defeat " The Abyss " even if they were all combined.
However, Kuzan could not have imagined that the strength Lin Yuan was currently displaying was only the tip of the Iceburg.
The banquet lasted all night. After everyone else left, Zephyr gently patted Kuzan on the shoulder, looking at his complicated expression.
" Kuzan, since you're joining the Abyss Merchant Guild, don't have any other ideas. As my student, let me give you a piece of advice: don't care about the Navy, pirates, or even the Revolutionary Army or the Four Emperors. They're all just pawns in the game between the Abyss Chamber of Commerce and the World Government."
"And we are merely pawns in this game."
