Ignoring Zoro, Lin Yuan led Erza and Emile away. Before leaving, he told Zoro the location of the final battle and then rode away on Flame Clouds.
As for Zoro, who has no sense of direction, Lin Yuan wasn't worried. With Lawrence around, there was no need to worry about him getting lost.
Watching Lin Yuan ride the clouds away, a fighting spirit appeared on Zoro's face.
Above the Flame Clouds.
" Lin Yuan, do you think Kuina can defeat Zoro? I think he's very strong; he exudes a sharp and piercing aura."
"Sister is right, that kid is indeed quite strong. Although he has no sense of direction, he also seems to have a cold and aloof aura."
When the topic turned to being directionally challenged, the three exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hehe, you have good insight, but his strength was pushed up through life-or-death situations. If he wants to continue improving, he still needs to slowly digest the gains of this year."
Hearing Lin Yuan say that, Erza and Emile couldn't help but pout. Emile couldn't help but hug Lin Yuan's arm and rub against it with her softness.
"Hmph, our strength has reached the threshold, but you won't let us fight. Otherwise, we might have been able to advance to the level of Admiral."
Hearing Emile's guilty yet unwilling coquettish pleading, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh. Erza, standing beside him, also laughed, though the same expression flashed in her eyes.
In fact, with their current strength, they are not without a fighting chance even against Admiral, but they simply have no chance of winning.
They also knew that Lin Yuan meant for them to improve gradually. Although the presence of Pure Gold would cause their bodies to stagnate, their combat experience could be enhanced.
With Lin Yuan's occasional personal assistance in improving their skills, they should be able to gradually develop their strength to the level of Admiral.
"Hehe, don't worry, we have plenty of time. One day, you will break through, and besides Yamato and the other two, you are the strongest."
"I've already informed Kuina. Although she and Zoro are both great swordsmen, you can still observe them."
Erza and Emile also knew that the opportunity to observe such a powerful battle up close was precious, so they happily agreed.
However, Erza thought for a moment, and then spoke.
" Lin Yuan, if possible, I'd also like to go to Uta's place. Fighting A Tuo will also improve our strength."
Lin Yuan looked at Erza and Emile, who stood to the side with a solemn expression, with surprise, and then asked.
"You think so too?"
"Yes, actually it's not just me, the other sisters think the same way."
Emile's words silenced Lin Yuan. For so many years, all he wanted was for his woman to live a happy life. Hancock, Yamato, and Kuina's strength was due to their amazing talents.
As for the others, although they are also very talented, there is still a gap between them and the Admiral level.
Over the years, Lin Yuan, relying on the " Abyss " Merchant Guild, has only managed to cultivate six people, including Li Taibai. As for the other general-level powerhouses, apart from the giants of Elbaf and Naguri, the others are all famous figures from the original work.
"Sigh, all I really want is for you all to be able to live happily according to your own wishes, and for you to help me stabilize the rear during the war with the World Government."
"Hmph, I know you mean well, but if anything happens to you, we won't back down either. We're willing to fight to the death so we can better help you."
"Yes, do you remember what we said when we went to find Kureha? We only wanted to stay by your side for the rest of our lives."
Seeing the two of them with identical expressions, Lin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Haha, since that's the case, then I promise you, I'll send you to Uta's place in a month. If the others want to go too, then let's go together!"
Upon seeing Lin Yuan agree, the two sisters smiled and warmly offered him kisses from either side. Lin Yuan didn't stand on ceremony; with a slight wave of his hand, Flame Clouds enveloped the three of them.
Three days later, when Lin Yuan returned to the secret base, he saw A Tuo and Enel fighting. As for the other powerful individuals, they were being ganged up on by the Ability User Legion, including Garp later on.
Soon, Lin Yuan spotted Kuina, who was fighting Mihawk. Not only him, but also Shiki and Redfield were watching from the sidelines; they were also at the level of great swordsmen.
"Clang!!!"
Seeing so many great swordsmen competing, Lin Yuan's " Mandala " sword at his waist made a soft sound.
Immediately, many people in the arena noticed Lin Yuan's figure and stopped.
"Honey, what brings you here? Erza and Emile are here too!"
Hancock immediately ran over and threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms without any hesitation, her face full of joy.
Lin Yuan smiled and put his arm around her soft, serpentine waist, then spoke.
"I'm here on business. There's a guy named Zoro who wants to challenge Kuina, and I accepted on her behalf. This is to bring Kuina with me."
"Oh, you mean the Straw Hat Pirates -captain, the guy with the green hair!"
The one who spoke was Kuzan. He had just been fighting Garp. Ever since Garp arrived, Kuzan and Garp could hardly believe their eyes. A dignified Marine Admiral and Marine Hero had actually joined Lin Yuan's forces.
The two talked for a long time before they learned what had happened. Both of them were somewhat saddened, but after hearing about the purpose of the island, Garp excitedly dragged Kuzan into battle.
Upon arriving here, Garp was deeply shaken, never expecting Lin Yuan to possess such a powerful hidden force.
"You mean Zoro's trying to challenge Kuina? He's really getting cocky. I should have given him another good beating."
Garp couldn't help but clench his fists, never expecting that the little guy he had painstakingly trained would challenge Lin Yuan's people.
He knew the strength of both of them. Although Zoro's progress was amazing, which surprised him, Kuina was not to be underestimated either. According to Garp's estimate, Zoro's chances of defeating Kuina were extremely slim.
Kuina, carrying the Wado Ichimonji, smiled as she heard her former junior brother want to challenge her again. She walked up to Lin Yuan and said proudly.
"Hmph, that kid has lost to me almost two thousand times. He's only been at sea for a few years. Even if he breaks through to the Admiral now, he still won't be my match."
Lin Yuan smiled and ruffled Kuina's hair, then said with a smile.
"Hehe, you're absolutely right. That kid has already broken through to the level of a great swordsman, and his strength is also at the level of Admiral. This is all thanks to Grandpa Garp. Without him, Zoro wouldn't have improved to this level."
Seeing Lin Yuan's ambiguous smile, Garp turned his head away, pretending not to hear.
" Kuina, I've already agreed to his request on your behalf. Are you confident?"
A smug look appeared on Kuina's face. She raised her head slightly and said with a smile.
"Heh heh, I'll personally deliver defeat to him, even if it's his two thousandth failure!!!"
