Lin Yuan looked at the shocked Revolutionary Army and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"With Kaido's strength, plus King who has reached Admiral level and a Beasts Pirates, you don't really think that the Straw Hat Pirates with just eight people can defeat him, do you?"
"If I hadn't spoken to Kaido beforehand, the Straw Hat Pirates would no longer exist on the high seas."
Dragon was silent for a moment, then stood up and sincerely thanked Lin Yuan. Although he wasn't particularly concerned about his son, he was still his son.
Lin Yuan had no intention of taking advantage of the situation; he simply recounted the Straw Hat Pirates ' story objectively, and he didn't hide the fact that he wanted to use the Straw Hat Pirates' identity as the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika user to target powerful figures in the World Government.
Dragon's face remained completely expressionless; in fact, he seemed quite agreeable. Dragon was more than willing to inflict damage on the World Government.
" Lin Yuan, if we want to target the World Government's powerful figures, we need enough Emperor-level experts. Should I send Sabo over to help?"
Dragon wasn't concerned about how Lin Yuan was so confident he could lure out the powerful figures from the World Government; instead, he was worried that the forces Lin Yuan sent wouldn't be enough.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan didn't say anything, but Tesoro was standing to the side, laughed.
"Chief Dragon, do you know who Boss Lin Yuan sent to snipe? Your father, Garp, was one of them. As for the others— Kuzan, Shiki, Bullet, Enel— how are they doing?"
"Hiss!!!"
The entire Revolutionary Army, including Dragon, gasped in shock. The strength of these five was far beyond ordinary combat power; it was practically the strength of five emperors.
Dragon gave Lin Yuan a deep look. He knew that the Abyss Merchant Guild's top combat strength was not just this. The combat strength of these five people alone could suppress the entire Revolutionary Army.
You must understand that the Revolutionary Army currently only has three Admiral or higher in combat strength: besides himself, there's Bartholomew Kuma and Sabo. If Lin Yuan truly conquers the entire New World, then...
Thinking about the three more powerful pirate crews— Whitebeard Newgate, Lot Linlin, and Kaido —Dragon realized he had never truly understood the rulers of this New World.
" Lin Yuan, can I ask you a question?"
Dragon pondered for a moment, seemingly making a decision.
Lin Yuan looked at Dragon and then said with a smile.
"You say."
"I'd like to ask just how strong the Abyss Chamber of Commerce is right now. I hope you can tell me!"
Lin Yuan didn't speak immediately. He had noticed from the beginning that Dragon seemed to be weighing something. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he was considering the pros and cons. Tesoro also seemed to have noticed something, and his breathing became a little heavy.
"Heh, Dragon, do you really want to know?"
Dragon stared intently at Lin Yuan, then nodded solemnly.
I'm sure!
"Heh, the strength and power under my command far exceed your imagination. I am confident that I can confront the World Government head-on, and I will not be afraid even if they have dozens of general-level experts."
Although Lin Yuan didn't explain it very clearly, the members of the Revolutionary Army gasped again.
"He's not afraid of dozens of general-level experts, does that mean Lin Yuan also has dozens of such experts under his command!"
Bello Betty and Sabo made no attempt to hide their shock and were speechless.
Dragon seemed to have guessed as much as he had, and he let out a soft breath.
"As expected, no wonder. Lin Yuan, to be honest, I want to merge the Revolutionary Army into the Abyss Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if you can agree to that?"
"Leader!"
Upon hearing that their leader intended to merge the Revolutionary Army into the Abyss Chamber of Commerce, Sabo and the others couldn't help but speak up anxiously.
However, Dragon raised his hand to stop everyone, and stared intently at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan did not agree immediately, but looked at Dragon seriously.
Are you really sure?
Dragon nodded, then said seriously.
"Yes, over the years, our development has been thanks to the Chamber of Commerce's covert assistance. Even our operational guidelines were guided by you, not to mention you spared my father and son."
"Although their lives mean nothing to the Revolutionary Army's dream, it's still a favor I owe you."
Lin Yuan glanced at Dragon for a while, then looked at the faces of the other Revolutionary Army, and said with a smile.
"Would the others agree?"
Dragon didn't speak, but left the matter to others to decide.
Bello Betty and the others exchanged glances before asking a question.
"Chief, you just said that our action plan was proposed by Lord Lin Yuan?"
Sabo, however, stepped forward and spoke up.
" Koala and I both know about this. It was indeed Lord Lin Yuan Lin Yuan proposed it. He not only provided us with a large amount of weapons, Beli, and supplies, but also put forward those guiding principles."
"That's right, Sabo and I studied here back then, but the leader forbade us to say so."
Koala also chimed in to corroborate this, saying that during her time studying at the " Abyss " Merchant Guild, she regarded Lin Yuan Lin Yuan as a god, especially since he had saved her life. Therefore, she was quite willing to join the " Abyss " Merchant Guild.
Having received Sabo and Koala's approval, Belo Betty, Ahiru, Karasu, and the others exchanged glances and then nodded.
"Then we have no further questions; we will follow the leader's decision."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Dragon smiled with satisfaction and looked at Lin Yuan, waiting for his decision.
Lin Yuan didn't hesitate. He stood up, extended his hand, and said with a smile.
"Then welcome to the team."
Dragon laughed and took Lin Yuan's hand.
Since the Revolutionary Army has decided to join the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yuan will not stand on ceremony.
" Dragon, to be honest, have you run into some other trouble?"
"Hmm, not bad. Our base was discovered by the World Government. Although we escaped successfully, I discovered that there are many unfamiliar powerful individuals within the World Government. Just for this surprise attack, there were five powerful individuals."
"If Kuma hadn't gotten the others out immediately, the losses would have been enormous."
Dragon recounted the events to Lin Yuan in detail, emphasizing the powerful figures from the World Government.
"A powerful stranger?"
Lin Yuan wasn't surprised. After all, easily producing five Admiral or higher-level experts was quite easy for the World Government. If they didn't have this kind of backing, Lin Yuan would have already led his men to charge in.
"What about Bartholomew Kuma and the others? Could they have already been captured?"
"No, but he did suffer some injuries and is recuperating at one of our other outposts."
"By the way, Brother Lin Yuan, among those people, there was one who felt very familiar to me, like Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Five Emperors. Although he was wearing a mask, his weapon seemed to be the Supreme Great Grade Sword Gryphon. Kuma was injured by him."
"Huh?! Red-Haired Shanks!"
