Chapter 17

According to the system's introduction, the amount of reputation points each person can contribute to Lin Xuan is different, which is related to their overall strength.

These Marines had better qualities in all aspects than most people on the Sabaody Archipelago, so they naturally contributed more; surprisingly, each person contributed nearly ten reputation points!

Therefore, one thousand people contributed nearly ten thousand reputation points to Lin Xuan at once, which made Lin Xuan quite satisfied.

Looking at the submissive appearance of the Marines, Lin Xuan said to Uchiha Madara with a relaxed expression: "Madara, look, this group of Marines is working their lives away for these Celestial Dragon idiots, and they still have to endure all kinds of unreasonable insults and threats. Haha, it's just too funny!"

Uchiha Madara also deeply agreed and said: "Hmm, I also think it's very funny; I didn't expect such an absurd thing to exist!"

The black-bearded Lieutenant Colonel and the others, hearing this, naturally felt even more depressed and stifled.

However, they dared not show the slightest bit of it in front of the Celestial Dragons and could only keep it bottled up inside.

Uchiha Madara looked at these Marines mockingly and said: "It's not impossible for you to want us to release these Celestial Dragons."

The black-bearded Lieutenant Colonel’s spirits lifted, and he immediately asked in a deep voice: "What are your conditions?"

"Conditions, huh..."

Uchiha Madara’s mouth curled slightly and said: "It's very simple, as long as you can defeat me!"

"Defeat you?" The black-bearded Lieutenant Colonel frowned, "Are you asking us to have a one-on-one duel with you?"

When he said this, he was secretly happy in his heart.

If it were really a one-on-one, no matter if the Marines won or lost, at least they could delay time, and once Kizaru arrived, the matter would naturally be resolved!

Uchiha Madara, however, shook his head and said: "Whether you want to go one-on-one or all together, it doesn't matter; as long as you can defeat me, we will release those few pieces of trash, the Celestial Dragons!"

The black-bearded Lieutenant Colonel and his subordinates looked at each other, and soon, looks of temptation really appeared on their faces.

The black-bearded Lieutenant Colonel looked at Lin Xuan without changing his expression and asked: "Does he mean the same thing?"

Lin Xuan was pulling the three Celestial Dragon slaves, controlling them with genjutsu again, and incidentally experimenting with his Sharingan abilities.

Hearing the black-bearded Lieutenant Colonel’s words, he waved his hand directly and said: "I have no objection, but if you underestimate Madara too much, the outcome might be very miserable!"

Regarding this, the black-bearded Lieutenant Colonel was dismissive.

In his view, Uchiha Madara was at most relying on Devil Fruit abilities to act fierce; if he were really that powerful, he would have long been famous across the seas!

And they were all elite Marines here; he really didn't believe they couldn't handle Uchiha Madara!

Seeing them so high-spirited, Lin Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and cast a look of pity at them: "Poor Marines, actually thinking of defeating Lord Madara? How could you know the power of this 'Rose of the Battlefield'!"

Sure enough, just as Lin Xuan had predicted, the black-bearded Lieutenant Colonel first sent out the three people he considered the strongest among his subordinates to duel with Uchiha Madara.

These three people were indeed very powerful; one of them was a Major who could actually use Armament Haki.

Unfortunately, their overall strength was still too poor, and as a result, they were all dealt with by Uchiha Madara in just a few moves!

Then, he gritted his teeth and sent out seven more people, joining forces with the previous three to surround and attack Uchiha Madara!

Unfortunately, the result was still no different; the ten people didn't even touch Uchiha Madara’s clothes, and Uchiha Madara suppressed them all without even using ninjutsu.

By this time, the black-bearded Lieutenant Colonel finally realized Uchiha Madara’s true strength and became nervous.

He no longer dared to hope to defeat Uchiha Madara, but still thought about sending others to delay time.

However, Uchiha Madara was already impatient: "Is there really no one who can fight? You all come at me together!"

Hearing this, even the black-bearded Lieutenant Colonel and the others, who had just witnessed his strength, couldn't help but become angry.

"Don't look down on people!"

"Bastard, we are Marines!"

"All together, teach him a lesson!"

The Marines shouted, and hundreds of them flew towards Uchiha Madara!

Thus, the classic scene from the Naruto world in Lin Xuan’s memory appeared.

Only hearing Uchiha Madara snort coldly, he suddenly took a step forward, and instantly, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he began to sweep through the Marines frantically!

Wherever his figure went, those Marines, whether they were using swordsmanship, the Six Powers, or Devil Fruit abilities, all "danced" along with him, flying away one after another!

In just a short moment, hundreds of Marines were all defeated, lying scattered on the street, wailing continuously!

Lin Xuan, however, felt it wasn't satisfying enough to watch, and suddenly turned his head to look at the other hundreds of Marines blocking the other end of the street, saying: "Hey, do you want to come over and try too? Maybe if you attack, you can defeat him!"

Those Marines immediately gave him a look that said, "Do you think we are stupid?"

Clearly, they were all frightened by Uchiha Madara’s brutality; how could they dare to act now? Go over and dance along with him?

But at this very moment—

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking air suddenly came from behind Lin Xuan.

It turned out that a Marine had been waiting for an opportunity from a side alley and finally seized the chance to strike suddenly!

He held a long sword in his hand and slashed directly at Lin Xuan’s head!

In addition, there were three other Marines in the alley who attacked together!

But their target was not Lin Xuan, but to rescue the three Celestial Dragons!

Seeing this scene, the other Marines’ eyes lit up, and then looks of hope appeared on their faces.

They must succeed!

As long as they killed this Lin Xuan and rescued the Celestial Dragons, they could be considered to have made up for their mistakes!

Uchiha Madara saw Lin Xuan being attacked but had no intention of acting at all.

He clearly also wanted to see exactly how strong Lin Xuan was!

And Lin Xuan himself, facing the sharp blade slashing through the air, instead revealed a smile on his face.

The next moment, his figure flashed, and he disappeared directly under the blade of the Marine who was slashing at him!

"What?!"

The Marine’s eyes widened instantly.

Immediately after, he heard Lin Xuan’s voice from behind him: "It seems I rarely act myself, making you think I'm easy to bully?"

Lin Xuan had already instantly moved behind him!
