"That kid's Monkey D. Luffy, and his status is in no way inferior to Blackbeard and Ace, perhaps even stronger."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this kid will be the future Pirate King!"
Lin Yuan didn't hide Luffy's background. Now that Whitebeard Newgate was definitely on his ship, there were some things he could tell him.
This would make it more likely that Whitebeard Newgate would wholeheartedly cooperate with him.
He said it casually, but Marco, Vista, and Yamato stared in shock at the little guy below, while Whitebeard Newgate, was also completely dumbfounded.
"Ahem, um, kid Lin, tell me more!"
"You already know about Ace's situation. If nothing unexpected happens, he has already Awakening Conqueror's Haki. You can try it out in a bit."
"As for Luffy, well, let's talk about his background first. You all know that his grandfather Garp is a naval hero, and Marine Admiral Kuzan was once Garp's first mate."
"And Luffy's father Monkey D. Dragon, a monster who was once on par with the current Three Admirals of the Navy. Do you remember him, Whitebeard?"
Whitebeard Newgate pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"I vaguely remember, wasn't it said that kid defected to the Navy?"
"Hahaha, I really want to see that old Garp's expression when he heard his son had defected. That would be hilarious!"
Lin Yuan gave the Whitebeard Newgate a strange look, and then said.
"That will probably disappoint you. You might not be familiar with the name Dragon, but he also has another name now: Dragon!"
"Dragon?!"
At that moment, Marco suddenly shouted in shock.
"You mean the Revolutionary Army, the Revolutionary Army that openly declares its intention to overthrow the World Government! Dragon is their leader!"
Lin Yuan smiled and looked at Luffy, especially at the Straw Hat on his head, his smile widening.
"That's right, this kid's father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, who is no less ruthless than the most vicious person in the world!"
Whitebeard Newgate, stared blankly at himself, muttering to himself.
"His grandfather is a naval hero, and his father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army who directly declared war on the World Government. That's a really powerful background. But what's with him wanting to become a pirate?"
"Hahaha, old man, you haven't finished yet. This kid's grandfather and father are indeed impressive, but didn't you notice his hat? Doesn't it look familiar?"
Now Whitebeard Newgate, Marco, and the others turned their gazes back down.
Whitebeard Newgate stared at the Straw Hat, finding it increasingly familiar. Slowly, a figure appeared in his mind.
"This! Isn't this Roger's Straw Hat? How did it end up with this kid! Lin, what's going on?"
A meaningful smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.
"That's because this kid's mentor is someone of equal status to you."
"You mean, that Red-Haired brat! Shanks!"
"Who else could it be, given their own awkward position and the desire to fulfill Roger's last wish? Is there anyone in the world more suitable than this kid?"
Now, everyone's gaze became somewhat solemn. According to Lin Yuan, with so many powerful connections, no one really dared to offend him.
If this kid can reach the level of a general in the future, then it will be difficult for anyone to stop his rise. As for whether he can reach that level, Whitebeard Newgate has no doubt whatsoever.
After all, the Monkey Family Clan has no shortage of talent.
"Lin boy, what else do you have? That's not enough to become the Pirate King!"
A confident look appeared on Whitebeard Newgate face, as if his opponent had no chance as long as he was there.
"You old fool, don't you even consider how old he is? By the time he goes to sea, you'll be truly old, and with your unfilial son by your side, once he kills you, what can you do to stop him?"
"And I've heard, cough cough, I just heard, that Marine Admiral Kizaru might be this kid's uncle, but I don't know if it's true."
Everyone was dumbfounded. Could this be any more absurd? Why were all the world's top experts revolving around this kid? Was he the chosen one?
"Besides!"
"And another thing, Lin, can you finish what you just said? Anything more is just ridiculous. Does everyone revolve around him?"
"Haha, don't rush, it's almost done. The last one is the Gum-Gum Fruit that the World Government has been searching for, worth 5 billion Beli, which this kid ate."
"Moreover, this fruit has another name: the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika Form. The Nika Form is also known as the Sun God Form, and it is the fruit of Joy Boy from eight hundred years ago."
"Even Imu, who is behind the World Government, is wary of this fruit; it's just that this kid hasn't Awakening it yet."
"Bang..."
Lin Yuan looked to his side and saw Marco and Vista both sitting on the ground, their eyes filled with horror, envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Uncle Lin, this kid is so hateful! He looks so stupid, how come he always gets all the good things? Compared to him, Ace is nowhere near as good!"
"Yeah, Pops, why don't you adopt this kid as your son too? We'll teach him a lesson later!"
"Hmph, you two bastards, what nonsense are you spouting? This kid is Garp's own grandson! Ace is one thing, I can just disown him, but what's the point of taking this kid in!"
Whitebeard Newgate scolded him with exasperation.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was overjoyed; these two guys were truly talented.
Whitebeard Newgate's expression turned unusually serious as he looked at Luffy, his thoughts unreadable.
As for Ace, Lin Yuan was surprised to find that the way Whitebeard Newgate looked at him was actually somewhat appreciative and gentle.
"Alright, since you're here, why don't you go down and take a look? After all, you and he have a father-son relationship. Although you faced a near-death experience because of him, with me here, it's nothing!"
Whitebeard Newgate withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Lin Yuan.
If his expression towards Luffy was somewhat serious, then his expression towards Lin Yuan was filled with shock, apprehension, and gratitude.
"I really don't know if your Devil Fruit allows you to travel to the future is real, but anyway, Lin Yuan, thank you!"
Whitebeard Newgate's words were so sincere that Lin Yuan was momentarily speechless.
"Tch, this isn't like you! You're Whitebeard, the World's Strongest! You can't let these little guys outdo you!"
"Hahaha, that's true, I do have Whitebeard, but I'm from the old era..."
"Go to hell, you old codger! What old-fashioned remnant? The New World has no place for your ship. I'm going to overthrow the whole world, and you think you can't even fit in, you piece of junk?"
"Whether it's the new era or the old era, I will hold it firmly in my hands!"
Lin Yuan extended his right hand, slowly raised it forward, and then said with a smile.
"Isn't that right, Your Dragon?"
