Chapter 412

Once the Navy deploys a massive amount of top-tier combat power to hunt down Li Xiao,

thereby leaving its internal defenses hollow,

then pirate factions from all sides absolutely will not let such a perfect opportunity slip away!

In this way,

regardless of whether arresting Li Xiao succeeds or not,

it will bring enormous risks to the Navy!

Moreover,

who can guarantee that what Li Xiao has displayed

is his full strength?

The Navy dares not gamble,

and cannot afford to gamble!

To be honest,

the moment Lei Li learned from Shakky the results of Li Xiao's battle with Akainu and Huang Yuan,

and even the process of the battle,

the entire extraction group: 975632410 people were all shocked!

The strength Li Xiao displayed

compared to the man currently known as the World's Strongest Man, Bai Huzi,

and the once universally acknowledged Pirate King, Luo Jie,

was not in the slightest bit inferior!

More critically,

Li Xiao is still very young!

Although Lei Li does not know Li Xiao's exact age,

from his appearance,

he is at most only in his twenties!

In comparison,

those two people mentioned above,

one is already over seventy years old,

his life having entered its final countdown,

while the other has been dead for more than twenty years!

The difference between them is huge!

At Li Xiao's current age,

he has not even reached the peak of his combat power,

and the future holds infinite possibilities!

If this trend continues to develop,

just how powerful Li Xiao's strength can become,

even Lei Li finds it somewhat difficult to imagine!

It is precisely because of such immense strength

that Li Xiao could, on the Sabaody Archipelago,

in front of a Navy Admiral,

openly extort a Celestial Dragon!

And this Navy Admiral not only did not stop him,

but even silently put on sunglasses,

pretending not to see!

Even after the fact,

neither the Navy nor the Celestial Dragons could do anything to Li Xiao!

In contrast, Lei Li,

if he really did this thing,

then the situation would be completely different!

Leaving other things aside,

at the very least, Huang Yuan would definitely directly condense a Ama no Murakumo sword to block Lei Li!

Huang Yuan is after all a Logia-type Shining Shining Fruit user,

a solid veteran Admiral,

and except for Li Xiao,

there truly is no one who would make him dare not act!

Although Lei Li was once a great pirate who dominated the seas,

hailed as the Pirate King's right arm,

he is after all old,

and his stamina has already begun to fall behind,

if he truly faced Huang Yuan alone,

he would truly find it somewhat difficult!

More importantly,

the Celestial Dragons would not fear him!

Even if this matter could succeed,

leaving aside how to take away so many Berries,

even if he did take them away,

he would not think of spending his later years in peace afterward;

he must continue to flee across the seas!

A moment later,

Lei Li came to his senses,

and called out to Li Xiao walking ahead, asking:

"Come to think of it, you have left the Sabaody Archipelago for over a month. Now you suddenly return; are you preparing to enter the New World?"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao nodded,

and replied:

"Yes, the first half of the Grand Line has been traversed almost completely; it is time to go see the New World!"

Lei Li raised his eyebrows slightly,

and asked again:

"Judging by how the Marines came knocking, you must have just arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago; your ship has not been coated yet, has it?"

Seeing Li Xiao shake his head,

Lei Li continued speaking:

"To go from here to the New World, one must pass through Fish-Man Island!"

"And Fish-Man Island lies 10,000 meters beneath the sea at the Holy Land of Mary Geoise; to go there, one must first coat the ship!"

"Moreover, the matter of coating cannot be taken lightly; it concerns your life!"

"Once the coating on the ship shatters beneath the sea, leaving aside the issue of breathing, the mere 813 terrifying pressure alone would be enough to kill you instantly!"

"However, meeting an old man like me is also your good fortune!"

"On the Sabaody Archipelago, when it comes to coating technology, if I claim second place, no one dares to claim first!"

"How about I personally coat your ship for you?"

"Of course, this... um... does come with a fee!"

However,

Li Xiao only shook his head,
