Chapter 209: The decisive battle is imminent, and Sengoku is overwhelmed!

Compared to twenty-some days ago, the Sabaody Archipelago has undergone massive changes.

The islands, usually exceptionally bustling, are now basically devoid of residents.

After all, following the monumental incident where "Celestial Dragons were kidnapped," the island's inhabitants had long since fled in terror.

They were primarily afraid that the Navy would suddenly launch a "Buster Call," which would leave their lives hanging by a thread.

Furthermore, there was that rumor—which the Navy had intentionally tried to suppress but which still spread rapidly—that the two criminals who kidnapped the Celestial Dragons would return to conquer the Sabaody Archipelago!

Under such circumstances, how could they possibly dare to remain on the Sabaody Archipelago?

However, the civilians fleeing was actually a good thing for the Navy; at least it reduced some trouble when they were arranging various operations.

Now, warships can be seen frequently patrolling the waters around the Sabaody Archipelago, and a large number of Navy personnel have appeared on the islands.

The Navy has mobilized a massive force to garrison the Sabaody Archipelago, and the entire island chain has entered a state of high alert.

Besides this, there are also many Navy personnel stationed around Jaya and Long Ring Long Land, with Navy squads patrolling every part of the islands daily.

Under these conditions, naturally, no pirate would be stupid enough to approach this area.

Navy Headquarters.

The high-ranking officials of the Navy have been driven nearly mad with busyness during this period!

The fact that three Celestial Dragons were kidnapped and remain missing to this day has long since drawn the high-level attention of the World Government.

Facing the questioning of the Five Elders, Sengoku can be said to be under immense pressure, because even now, the Navy has yet to catch the culprits responsible for all of this!

"Damn it, it's all the fault of those bastards. Why did they have to commit such insane acts?"

Sengoku angrily grabbed a handful of rice crackers and shoved them into his mouth, his heart feeling nearly frantic. He hated that guy named Lin Xuan to the core for causing him so much trouble.

Beside him, Garp crossed his arms and sat there laughing out loud: "Hahahaha, I actually think they are a few interesting guys. I can't take it; whenever I think of the Five Elders' expressions, I suddenly want to laugh, hahahaha!"

"Garp... shut your mouth!" Sengoku roared in anger.

What time is it, and this guy still has the mood to laugh!

He has been so troubled by this matter recently that he has started losing hair constantly; he is truly afraid that his thick head of hair might end up going bald!

Looking at this thick-skinned guy Garp, Sengoku was so angry he wanted to beat him up!

Over the past half-month, Navy Headquarters has held countless high-level meetings for this matter, and every meeting has revolved around one theme: studying how to safely rescue the three Celestial Dragons!

No matter what, the Sabaody Archipelago must absolutely not be occupied, and the three Celestial Dragons must be rescued safely.

Otherwise, this world will likely be stirred into terrifying, monstrous waves!

Sengoku looked at the troop deployments on the small map in front of him, his expression grave to the extreme.

Until now, they have yet to devise a truly effective method.

"This time, no matter the cost, we must rescue the three Celestial Dragons and simultaneously suppress the enemy with force!" Sengoku said through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, despite the Navy's efforts to refute and cover up the rumors, many people still believed that so-called "rumor"!

Whether it was various pirate factions or the Revolutionary Army, everyone began to pay attention to this matter.

"Truly impressive, someone was actually able to escape the Navy's pursuit and even dared to openly declare war on the Navy!"

"It is said that there are only two or three people on the other side, yet they have the Navy running in circles. It's truly unbelievable!"

"Actually, what concerns me more is the rumor that those guys also captured three Celestial Dragons as slaves? And they even declared they would hold a public trial on the Sabaody Archipelago. Is this thing true or false?"

"Whether it's true or false no longer matters; daring to say such things is enough to prove they are bold enough!"

"Heh, relying on just two or three people to confront the entire Navy? I think they must be truly insane, right?"

As the one-month deadline agreed upon by Lin Xuan and the Navy drew closer, the whole world was buzzing with discussion.

And Lin Xuan, up on the Sky Island, after subduing Kaguya Otsutsuki and resting for three days to let her recover some chakra, and after raising quite a few White Zetsu to be used as sacrifices, finally set off with Conis and Kaguya Otsutsuki to return to the Blue Sea.

During this time, his reputation points, after a period of continuous explosive growth, had completely slowed down, to the point that the ten million reputation points he spent to subdue Kaguya Otsutsuki had not yet been replenished.

Clearly, after the previous events had been continuously spread and fermented, the reputation points they could bring him were about tapped out; they could no longer bring him more.

Therefore, he could not continue to keep a low profile; it was time to harvest another wave of reputation points!

As a result, just as Lin Xuan and his group left the Sky Island and returned to the Blue Sea, they were actually intercepted by pirates looking to rob them.

Consequently, without any suspense, this group of pirates was easily crushed by Lin Xuan and his group.

Among them, most of the small fry were dealt with by Conis!

This angel young lady from the Sky Island indeed had quite good talent in Ninjutsu. After ten-plus days of cultivation and the help of some primary strength-enhancing potions Lin Xuan secretly purchased, her strength had now fully reached the level of a Genin in the Ninja World.

Dealing with some powerful great pirates was naturally beyond her, but dealing with some small fry was more than enough.

As for the powerful pirate leader on this pirate ship, he was naturally dealt with by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

However, this time Lin Xuan did not kill these pirates, feeling that he had too few hands and that doing everything himself was truly too troublesome.

Therefore, he kept the group to serve as manual laborers to help him with chores!

The captain of this group of pirates was named Lei Kesi, a pirate with a bounty of thirty million, who was considered somewhat famous in this sea area.

Of course, this was what Lei Kesi's subordinates said; at least Lin Xuan had never heard his name, so he treated him as a background character!

However, this was not important!

What was important was having people to help sail the ship, serve tea and water, and so on! ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
