There should be some gains.\" Su Lin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blackbeard? Tich?” Warlord stopped and turned to Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He started this war. He should’ve released a batch of Level Six prisoners by now. Logically, he should’ve reached this area.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Warlord recalled the Impel Down convicts who had appeared on the battlefield earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a Den Den Mushi from his bag and called Impel Down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Magellan! How’s Impel Down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blackbeard and his crew were locked up by Magellan,” Warlord said, putting away the phone. “Looks like this guy’s ambitions are enormous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, a few troublesome ones escaped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Warlord turned and left with Garp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin was slightly surprised but didn’t dwell on it—perhaps it had something to do with the Straw Hat kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up his hat and made a farewell gesture toward the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin’s figure vanished from where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only his hat remained, slowly drifting down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a variety of abilities~,” Garp said, watching Su Lin disappear into thin air. “Is that a clone or something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever it is, now those trash won’t be able to sleep soundly, hahaha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garp laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Garp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, sorry, accidentally spoke the truth, hahaha,” Garp chuckled freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m planning to resign,” Warlord said softly, not rebuking Garp. “I must take some responsibility, no matter what.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, I’m a bit tired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?” Garp wasn’t surprised. “Want to come with me to the East Blue for a vacation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s talk about it later,” Warlord thought for a moment. “I haven’t settled accounts with your grandson yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, I’m confiscating all those senbei you hoarded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh!? Why?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Marine soldier transformed into Su Lin’s appearance and walked toward Luffy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was also a historical projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survive. Must survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows if someone might sneak a strike at him—like Im behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Lin!” Luffy reverted to his normal form and ran toward Su Lin, waving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marines along the way showed varying expressions but ultimately didn’t stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, they couldn’t beat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other… he was Garp’s grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were any other pirate, they’d already have attacked—regardless of whether they could win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well pretend not to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luffy, is he your friend?” Ace asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, definitely. Thanks to Su Lin, I had the chance to rescue you, Ace,” Luffy slapped Su Lin hard on the shoulder—if the effects of the strength-enhancing drugs hadn’t worn off, Su Lin would’ve been knocked to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Ace, Whitebeard, everyone,” Su Lin smiled and greeted them. “Let me introduce myself properly—I’m Su Lin, Luffy’s friend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kurahahaha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks to you, Su Lin, I owe you a tremendous debt,” Whitebeard said seriously. “If you ever need anything, just say the word—I’ll give my life for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same here,” Ace declared solemnly. “My life is yours—take it whenever you need!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We do too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whitebeard’s captains all voiced their agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t need your lives. By the way,” Su Lin reached into empty space and pulled out a hat, placing it on his head. “If you want to thank someone, thank Ace’s brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just help them out if you encounter them on the sea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thought: the Straw Hat kid’s gotten this strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Straw Hats owe us two tremendous debts as well,” Whitebeard solemnly promised, his voice resonating with authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ask for anything you want—we’ll do whatever we can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ace is my brother—what debts?” Luffy grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll talk later—the Red Hair’s ship has arrived. Men, prepare to board.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Hair’s reputation had been overshadowed by Su Lin before it could even take effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He greeted Whitebeard’s side, lowered the gangplank, and let everyone on the battlefield board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, Akainu really got his ass kicked, huh, hahaha,” Red Hair jumped off the ship and met Akainu’s resentful gaze with a grin, waving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akainu scowled and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shanks! You bastard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Hair turned and saw a familiar figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst Buggy’s cheers as he gained new followers, everyone boarded the return ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some Marines watched bitterly from afar, especially those led by Akainu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin, of course, smiled and waved farewell to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day later\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leftover mess after the banquet always made one’s heart tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Lin, how about joining my crew?” Red Hair leaned against the ship’s railing and invited him, holding up a wanted poster dropped by a seagull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Composite Ability User, Su Lin, 3.5 billion Berries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Hair could tell at a glance this man was a good person with no ambition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reliable companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going back with Luffy,” Su Lin said, chewing on snacks. “I think I mentioned it before—we’re not from this era.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last night’s banquet, Luffy and Jinbe had explained everything—Luffy revealed everything except the chat group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he didn’t care about those details anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning what had happened in another timeline, Ace and Whitebeard’s crew grew even more grateful to Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also realized what their brother had endured in another world to become this strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they heard Luffy’s two new captains had defeated Kaido and Big Mom, the banquet reached its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I know,” Red Hair slurred over, reeking of alcohol. “When you go back, the Su Lin from this timeline should join my crew!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way. Su Lin is my comrade!” Luffy barged over with meat in hand, bluntly declaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s hard to explain,” Su Lin sighed with a smile. “I don’t belong to this timeline. Meeting the original Luffy was an extremely rare accident.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So after I return with them, your ship will only have the Luffy and Jinbe from this timeline.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” Red Hair was slightly surprised, but nothing on this sea was truly shocking—he quickly recovered. “I see. That’s too bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, imagining the World Government worrying over someone who doesn’t even exist—hahaha, that’s hilarious! Cheers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But thinking about how the World Government folks are worried sick over someone who doesn't even exist—hahahaha, that's hilarious!\" Shanks roared with laughter. \"Cheers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These pirates had somehow woken up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banquet atmosphere was always joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere of the banquet was always cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>",1207,"2026-06-20T04:17:29.700Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","06d75c072cbea2139cf30ca308bc2295efb172aa41224be1f17090aac76c6671","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-23","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-21",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
