Lin Yuan, along with Kuina and Yamato, quickly arrived at the secret base.
Standing atop the Red Line, without careful observation, the environment appears exactly the same as before.
Just then, a rumbling sound suddenly came from behind a protruding hill, and a huge doorway appeared on the stone wall.
Lin Yuan did not enter immediately, but observed the surroundings. Although it was slightly different from the original, it was not a big deal. Unless someone used Observation Haki to carefully investigate, they would not be able to discover the base below.
The base was built very deep, a full hundred meters below the Red Line, but there were many sealed entrances on the cliff.
Upon arrival, a massive underground fortification, or rather, an underground city, came into view, with various buildings already under construction.
"Hehe, Lin Yuan, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have imagined that you had such talented people under your command, capable of building a base of this difficulty."
Lin Yuan smiled but didn't say anything. He was joking; after all, he had given the Stone-Stone Fruit to the most powerful infrastructure master of the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce.
After destroying the Donquixote Family, Lin Yuan gave him a task: to carry out infrastructure construction on all the islands where the Chamber of Commerce headquarters was located.
Even the training plaza of the secret base had the involvement of that master architect. Creating an underground base in half a day was not a problem, especially with the help of 20,000 people.
Lin Yuan activated his Observation Haki, sensed the ground above, and then nodded in satisfaction.
"This place is pretty good; at least it's hard to be discovered. Dragon, I'll be leaving this place to you for the next while. Assemble all the weapons you brought."
Dragon nodded and gave Lin Yuan a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, but leave this to me. Are you planning to leave?"
Lin Yuan shook his head and said with a smile.
"Hehe, now that I'm here, how could I possibly leave immediately? I'm going to take a look at that World Government Army you mentioned."
Dragon was somewhat surprised and quickly asked.
"Aren't we going to attack them? Do you want me to come with you?"
"No need. We still need you to stay here. Kuina and Yamato will be with me. As for attacking them, it's just the military camp in front of Mary Geoise."
Seeing Lin Yuan's words, Dragon said nothing more. The group strolled around for a while longer, and then Lin Yuan called over Li Taibai and the other six commanders to give them some instructions.
It's not that Lin Yuan doesn't trust Dragon, but rather that Lin Yuan's personal guards, no matter the situation, only obey Lin Yuan's orders.
Even Tesoro, the head of the " Abyss " Merchant Guild, couldn't command them.
"I'll be leaving tomorrow and will probably be away from here for a while. Your task is to be on standby at all times and protect this place."
Li Taibai and the others nodded and respectfully accepted the order before leaving.
That evening, Lin Yuan hosted a banquet for everyone before leaving with the two women.
" Lin Yuan, aren't we going to rest here? The dungeon seems pretty nice."
Yamato asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, they still have things to prepare, it's really too noisy. More equipment will be delivered later, they'll be busy."
Kuina and Yamato were aware of Lin Yuan's plan and knew that it would take some time before the area was fully consolidated.
Above the Flame Clouds, Lin Yuan rested with two women in his arms, and they continued their journey towards the Red Line.
With Lin Yuan's strength, he could go without sleep for ten days or half a month without any problems. After a night of fierce fighting, he was finally able to use his Flame Clouds to cover the two women's exposed bodies.
He sat atop the Flame Clouds, drinking from his gourd while peering down below.
Although the Red Line is over 10,000 meters high, Lin Yuan discovered that there are quite a few plants and animals living on it.
"Such fertile land, completely wasted. Those Celestial Dragons consider themselves gods, yet they'd rather leave it abandoned than let anyone touch it."
Throughout the journey, Lin Yuan quietly observed the area below, and he also spotted the World Government's army.
Indeed, as Dragon said, there were World Government personnel stationed about a hundred miles away.
However, Lin Yuan did not make a move immediately, but continued to advance towards the Red Line.
It took Lin Yuan a full month to lose sight of the Army. However, he couldn't help but sigh that the Celestial Dragons had really wasted a lot of manpower in order to protect the Red Line.
In the past month, he discovered dozens of military camps and sensed the presence of five or six powerful Admiral among them.
" Lin Yuan, there's no trace of those people ahead. What are you going to do next?"
Lin Yuan smiled. In this long period of time, he had received calls from Dragon and Tesoro, and all preparations were basically in place, while Enel and the others were on their way back.
"Heh, since there's nothing more to be found, let's go back. I'll explore Mary Geoise a bit more before we talk about it again."
Neither Kuina nor Yamato refused. Although they were content with their life, they longed to defeat the World Government as soon as possible so they could be with Lin Yuan forever.
"Should we eliminate all these powerful individuals? I really don't know their purpose in being stationed here."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Not for now. I might understand their intentions. The World Government has that teleportation array, and each of the armies here has tens of thousands of soldiers."
"We're not confident we can kill everyone at once, otherwise we'll be easily exposed, and using powerful techniques will also attract the attention of the World Government."
Just as Lin Yuan uttered those words, a figure suddenly flew towards him, appearing to be a powerful figure from the World Government.
"Uh, Lin Yuan, that guy is coming this way, what do we do?"
Lin Yuan sensed the surrounding area for dozens of miles and found that there was indeed only this one person, and judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to have noticed anything.
Just as Lin Yuan had imagined, the person who arrived was Army Admiral in the World Government's army and a powerful member of the Celestial Dragons.
Although they were responsible for guarding this place, he, being a person with superpowers, would occasionally go down and capture women to play with.
As someone with the ability to fly, he saw the Flame Clouds in the sky and seemed to think of the woman's food bag below. A sinister smile appeared on his face as he charged towards it.
He prepared to pass through the Flame Clouds before diving directly down, but just as he was about to touch the Flame Clouds, his Observation Haki suddenly emitted a death-like warning.
"What!!!"
But it was too late. Just as he was about to escape, the surrounding air began to freeze, or rather, time itself began to freeze around him.
As a powerful member of the Celestial Dragons, he was naturally alert, but now he felt utterly desperate.
Just as he was about to struggle frantically, a spiked club slammed into his head, and not only that, a blade flashed across his neck.
It was Kuina and Yamato who made the move. The two women excitedly charged forward, but the result was unusually easy. In just a moment, the Celestial Dragons's head was smashed and decapitated.
The man before him would never have imagined that his spur-of-the-moment decision would lead him to the world's strongest man, and that he would die such a humiliating death.
