Above the Flame Clouds, everyone stared in astonishment at the golden island, their eyes filled with shock.
Even powerful figures like Bullet, Redfield, and Shiki couldn't help but swallow hard.
"My God, this island must be made of metal!"
Of those present, only Monet, Tesoro, Zephyr, Enel, and Robin knew about it; the others were here for the first time.
I had only heard that Lin Yuan spent almost all of his Devil Fruit on training talent and had a secret Special Operations Team, but I never expected that they would be training on an island like this.
As the Flame Clouds drew closer, they finally saw the island in its entirety. Apart from a cluster of buildings, the rest of the island was entirely made of metal.
At the edge of the island, a group of seven or eight hundred people stood quietly, waiting for Lin Yuan's arrival.
It was the Ability User Legion trained by Lin Yuan, including Lafitte and Van O'Car.
Everyone was wearing a combat suit. Reiju, who had come along, looked shocked and murmured to herself.
"These people are wearing combat suits, how come there are so many of them?"
Keep in mind that the entire Vinsmoke Family only has no more than ten sets, but there are seven or eight hundred sets right in front of us.
Lin Yuan smiled and glanced at Reiju, then explained softly.
"These combat suits were specially made by Judge at my request. Although they can't compare to yours, they all have the ability to stay airborne. Compared to their strength, this is nothing."
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, the others turned their gazes to the legion standing below and activated their Observation Haki.
Surprisingly, aside from those with the strength of Admiral or higher, those with weaker abilities felt their Observation Haki being interfered with.
"Alright, let's go down!"
Lin Yuan stood at the very front, then led everyone down. After the Flame Clouds dissipated, he slowly walked forward alone.
"Boom..."
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
The legion that had been forming a square formation knelt down on one knee upon seeing Lin Yuan appear, their faces filled with fanaticism as they roared loudly.
Lin Yuan didn't feel anything, but everyone he brought had their pupils shrink, and even Redfield, the second strongest in the Chamber of Commerce, couldn't help but be shaken.
"What a terrifying aura! This is an army that only knows how to kill!"
Lin Yuan raised one hand and said with a smile.
"You've all worked hard, get up!"
"Boom..."
All the people heard was a unified sound; the movements of these hundreds of people were so synchronized that they seemed like a single person.
"Wow, what incredible execution!"
At this moment, even Marine Headquarters Admiral Kuzan couldn't help but sigh, saying that in his view, the so-called elite naval forces of the past were nothing but a rabble in front of these people.
Robin and Monet smiled as they explained the situation to the group of sisters, while Tesoro explained things to Redfield and the others.
Compared to the others, the guards who had been protecting Lin Yuan looked at these people with bright eyes and proud expressions.
Lin Yuan ignored these people and walked forward to chat with them one by one.
" Wang Tiezhu, you've gotten quite muscular!"
" Li Ergou, how's your skill level going? You haven't embarrassed me, have you?"
" Lafitte, Van O'Claude, long time no see! You've both improved quite a bit!"
Lin Yuan could accurately call out the names of everyone he looked at, and those he called out all looked up at Lin Yuan with their heads held high and their faces beaming with joy.
"Sir, I'm doing well. My ranking has improved by several places this time."
"Haha, sir, my dual-color Haki has already reached the advanced level."
"What's so special about that? My Devil Fruit ability has Awakening, and I'm ranked twenty-third!"
Lin Yuan greeted everyone warmly, making sure not to miss a single person.
After the formal greeting, these people relaxed considerably and eagerly shared the good news with Lin Yuan.
After Lin Yuan greeted everyone, he turned to the five young men dressed in full black armor.
" Li Baiyu, Du Shaofu, Wang Dawei, Li Zihe, Bai Juyi, I've come to see you."
"Boom..."
The five people who had been following Lin Yuan knelt down again, their eyes slightly moist.
"Brother, we have fulfilled our mission. As you requested, all the brothers are no less powerful than Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral."
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
Lin Yuan also burst into wild laughter, completely unlike his usual self.
"Gulp!"
Shiki couldn't help but swallow, his voice trembling slightly.
"Good heavens, this is Lin Yuan's real trump card! I feel like if all these people attacked together, I wouldn't stand a chance!"
"Pah, shameless bastard, you old codger, you're dreaming! Among these people, there are over a hundred vice admirals with the strength of Marine Vice Admiral alone; each one could kill you with a single punch." ~ Bullet!
"Hehe, not bad, and if I'm not mistaken, those five people have already broken through to the Admiral level." ~ Zephyr.
"Oh my, if all these people attacked Marine Headquarters together, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out!" ~ Kuzan.
"Have you noticed that these people are all too young? The oldest isn't even forty, and most of them are in their twenties. Do you know what that means?" ~ Redfield.
"This means their strength can continue to increase. I wonder how terrifying they will become in the next twenty years!" ~ Mihawk.
The crowd discussed the army amongst themselves, their faces still showing shock.
Tesoro said with a smile.
"Haha, these people were all trained by the boss starting fifteen years ago. They were gradually transferred here after the Chamber of Commerce was established and their strength reached a certain level."
"Many of them were orphans, adopted and trained by the leader from a young age. Later, as the guild grew, those who lacked potential went to the Shadow Secret Guard or other positions within the guild."
"Those who remain are the strongest. Over the years, only those whose strength has reached the Marine Headquarters Colonel have been allowed to stay and have been granted Devil Fruit."
"After rounds of selection, this is the number of people left. However, compared to the rest of the world, it's already quite good. Every year, the Chamber of Commerce uses 10% of its profits on them."
Tesoro explained the situation to everyone, focusing on how they trained and got here.
After some explanation, the group of powerful individuals finally understood that compared to the billions of people in the entire world, this number was really nothing.
However, they were also intimidated by Lin Yuan's aura. They knew the financial strength of the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce, which had business all over the world.
But these people have consumed so much; just counting the Beli alone, it amounts to hundreds of billions. Although this includes those who were eliminated, it's still terrifying.
What surprised them even more was that Lin Yuan had spent a full fifteen years on this. Keep in mind that Lin Yuan was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time. They never expected his plan to be so profound.
At this moment, everyone was once again shocked, and gained a deeper understanding of how terrifying Lin Yuan was.
