Chương 105: Chapter 105: Where to Recruit People, This is a Problem
Lin Yan looked at everyone helplessly. Did they really think he was a lucky charm, capable of summoning anything?
"Even if you all look at me like that, I can't help it, alright? I'm not a god; how could I possibly solve everything?"
Seeing the hopeful expressions on everyone's faces, including Marco's, Lin Yan rolled his eyes.
Though what he said was true, their expectations didn't diminish. Lin Yan had brought too many miracles, making everyone almost see him as a Doraemon-like figure. Even the division commanders felt the same way.
Lin Yan rolled his eyes again. "Looking at me won't help. I'm not good at management, but I do have a rough idea on how to recover quickly..."
"What is it?!"
Marco was the first to lean in, eyes full of expectation and surprise.
"It's just a rough idea. I'm not even sure myself. You should go about your business as usual."
Lin Yan shot Marco a deadpan look, mercilessly dousing his excitement with cold water.
"Even a rough idea is good! I don't mind!"
But Marco didn't care at all. As long as Lin Yan said there was an idea, they had no doubt it could be done. Everyone nodded, looking completely convinced.
Lin Yan felt overwhelmed. Did they really see him as a treasure chest? But seeing everyone's convinced expressions, Lin Yan couldn't be bothered to explain further.
Finally, Whitebeard brought the conversation back on track. He assigned tasks to the division commanders, and only then did everyone reluctantly leave, looking back frequently. Lin Yan finally got a breather.
It's worth mentioning that Whitebeard assigned many tasks to each division commander, except Lin Yan. The meaning was clear. Whitebeard completely trusted Lin Yan, letting him decide what to do on his own. This heavy trust was heartwarming.
About ten minutes later, Lin Yan returned to his place, sat down, and started thinking. Speaking of rough ideas, he wasn't bluffing. Everyone knows strength lies in numbers, and the Whitebeard Pirates were racing against time. As long as they could recuperate successfully, any difficulty would cease to be a problem.
So, could they recruit some strong members? Indeed, Lin Yan was eager to recruit more people. But there were challenges. Where to recruit, and whom to recruit, were serious questions. Lin Yan wasn't interested in weaklings. Nor did he want those with impure motives. But those well-known, powerful, and straightforward individuals were already major forces or leaders themselves. Issho, Zephyr, and Ryokugyu were coincidences. Even Lin Yan couldn't guarantee recruiting such powerful individuals again.
After thinking hard for a long time without a solution, Lin Yan gave up. There were more important matters to consider. Sitting in his chair, Lin Yan suddenly looked up, a glint of determination in his eyes.
"System, start fishing!"
Fishing was the greatest pursuit! During the Summit War, Lin Yan had overused his Mangekyo Sharingan. This meant his eyes were affected, to the point where his vision started to deteriorate. Sigh. Avoid using Mangekyo Sharingan unless necessary! Itachi's fate was a warning! But there was a solution. To elevate his Mangekyo Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. This would allow him to use his abilities without any concern. Decision made. Set a small goal: fish out the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan! To live better in this world, absolute strength was indispensable. Absolute power was everything.
Since returning from the Summit War, he had accumulated 365 baits, enough for a year's worth of fishing. Due to previous commitments on Fishman Island, he had been too busy. Now back with the Whitebeard Pirates, what was he waiting for?
Moreover, recent events had shifted his perspective. He had thought his strength was decent. But during the Summit War, even with the prisoners from Impel Down, he still faced considerable danger. In the end, he barely escaped using Kamui. He had recuperated for a long time at Shakky's Rip-off Bar. In the end, it was still not enough strength! If he could single-handedly defeat the entire Navy, none of this would have happened.
Lin Yan took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and the familiar fishing pond appeared before his eyes. Fish! Fish with all his might.
A month passed quietly. Recently, the Whitebeard Pirates had undergone significant changes. Due to the victory at the Summit War, everyone was invigorated. The Moby Dick was no longer filled with a sense of decline; everyone was fully committed to recuperation and work. The world was in turmoil.
However, something significant was happening on the seemingly peaceful Moby Dick. Lin Yan hadn't been seen for a month! He hadn't eaten or drunk for a whole month. If they didn't know he was in his room, with his breath steady, they would have thought something had happened to him. In the end, Whitebeard ordered that no one disturb Lin Yan, and things finally calmed down. But even so, there was always someone watching over Lin Yan's room.
"Hey, Marco, is Lin really okay?"
Jozu slumped on the steps outside Lin Yan's room, poking Marco beside him. Recently, he was exhausted! Due to the shortage of personnel, the division commanders were overwhelmed with work. More than a 996 schedule! Taking a breather while guarding Lin Yan was a rare respite.
"Who knows... But we've seen Lin do miracles, let's believe in him."
Marco, too, looked worn out. The mighty Phoenix now lying like a quail.
"True."
Jozu nodded and then slumped back down. They both rested as much as possible. After all, there was a mountain of work waiting tomorrow. They were comrades in hardship...
Lying there for a while, Marco finally spoke again.
"How about the matter Pops asked you to keep an eye on?"
"No news yet."
Jozu shook his head.
"Anyway, it's not urgent. Pops said to keep an eye on it, and Lin isn't out yet. We'll discuss it when he is."
Marco lay back down, closing his eyes again.
"Alright... I'll take a nap, keep an eye on Lin's side, call me if anything happens."
"You damn..."
Neither of them noticed. While they were chatting idly, inside the room, Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes.
