Chapter 268

The Navy Headquarters publicly claimed that Smoker had defeated and arrested Crocodile,

making no mention of the Straw Hat Pirates at all!

And to add credibility,

they specially promoted Smoker one rank!

However,

Li Xiao did not care about these details!

What he cared about was that

with Crocodile's arrest,

his own dinner party had gone up in smoke!

Then his dinner gathering would be ruined as well!

Old Sand, Old Sand,

you really let me down!

Couldn't you have held out for just two more days?

It seems that

after his last battle with me,

his strength hadn't improved much!

Tsk, his comprehension is lacking!

Recalling that after leaving Amazon Lily,

he had rushed straight toward Alabasta,

and had finally almost reached his destination!

He had finally almost reached his destination!

Old Sand is locked up!

Thinking of this,

Li Xiao couldn't help but feel frustrated!

Judging by the rich rewards from so many check-ins,

he should definitely be of pure European Emperor bloodline,

so why is everything going wrong whenever he tries to eat a meal?

2.8 But regardless,

at this moment,

since things have come to this,

Li Xiao couldn't possibly go back and rescue Old Sand just for a meal!

Li Xiao could not possibly go back and rescue Old Sha just for a meal!

after some consideration,

weighing the current situation,

Li Xiao decided to change his destination,

heading directly to Jiayadao,

and then using the ascending sea current of Jiayadao to return to Sky Island!

The reason for deciding to return to Sky Island

mainly comes down to the following points!

First,

with the rewards from these two check-ins,

Li Xiao had obtained the Formation needed to modify the Ark Maxim,

and had also conceived his own dragon-raising plan!

And whether it was the Ark Maxim,

or the Sky Island Lord who was the target of the dragon-raising plan,

both were currently on Sky Island!

Therefore,

these two plans could only be implemented by returning to Sky Island!

These two plans can only be carried out after returning to the Sky Island!
