Chapter 212: The Navy taking the initiative to escort Lin Xuan?

"Sengoku, do you think we should take action to test them?" Vice Admiral Tsuru suggested.

Akainu, who was to the side, also spoke up directly: "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, let me go instead. This time I will definitely capture that guy!"

Kizaru and Aokiji, upon hearing this, both glanced at Akainu.

Clearly, Akainu was mocking the fact that they had personally taken action previously, only to be defeated by the opponent.

However, why didn't this guy mention his own failure in attacking the Sky Island?

Of course, under these circumstances, they felt that arguing with Akainu was meaningless, so they all remained silent.

The others all looked at Sengoku, waiting for him to make a decision.

Sengoku, after pondering for a moment, shook his head and said: "No!"

If he could determine the whereabouts of all the enemies, he would immediately dispatch a large army to conduct a comprehensive encirclement and suppression, but now he hesitated.

In fact, he had been investigating the movements of Lin Xuan and his group, but because of the opponent's strength, he had never been able to grasp them. Now Lin Xuan had appeared, but there was no sign of Madara Uchiha and the others.

Sengoku worried that if he dispatched troops to encircle and suppress Lin Xuan, he might instead fall into the opponent's trap.

If the missing Madara Uchiha and the others took advantage of them focusing all their attention on Lin Xuan to do something unimaginable, it might cause huge damage to the Navy!

Because Madara Uchiha had previously defeated Kizaru on the Sabaody Archipelago, and combined with the intelligence Aokiji obtained on the Sky Island, Sengoku believed that Lin Xuan and his group were absolutely not simple, and might even possess many powers they were unaware of!

This was also the reason why he opposed dispatching troops against Lin Xuan.

Subsequently, Sengoku thought for a moment and finally issued a new order: "Notify the nearby Navy, do not take action against Lin Xuan, and clear the obstacles in front of them to ensure they can arrive at the Sabaody Archipelago!"

The high-ranking officials were all stunned upon hearing his words.

Not take action against Lin Xuan, but instead help them clear obstacles? What kind of order was this?

If they didn't all trust Sengoku, they would probably suspect that Sengoku had been bought off by the enemy!

However, after a little thought, some of them soon reacted and understood Sengoku's meaning.

Clearly, rather than intercepting and suppressing them halfway without understanding the opponent's intentions, it was better to let them come openly, set up heavy deployments on the Sabaody Archipelago, wait for them to walk right in, and then catch them all in one net!

In this way, there was no need to worry about falling into the opponent's trap, and it would also allow the outside world to see the Navy's magnanimity!

Moreover, they firmly believed that no matter who the opponent was, if they dared to come to the Sabaody Archipelago, which was now gathered with all the Navy's elites, they would definitely be kept there!

This was the pride of their Navy!

Thus, as Sengoku's order was passed down, the Navy below began to act quickly.

However, when the order reached the Navy Rear Admiral responsible for monitoring Lin Xuan and his group, his expression turned ugly instantly.

He looked incredulous: "How could Headquarters issue such a strange order?!"

Along the way, he had almost been unable to resist taking action several times. He had also heard how strong the opponent was, saying that even Admiral Kizaru and Admiral Aokiji were no match for them.

But looking at the ship in the distance, at that kid who was even younger than himself, he felt dismissive in his heart.

In his view, perhaps there were false parts to the news, and even if someone could truly defeat Admiral Kizaru and Admiral Aokiji, it certainly wouldn't be this kid.

This guy looked younger than him, his strength certainly couldn't be that great. As a young Navy Rear Admiral, he had the confidence to take the opponent down.

However, he didn't expect the news from Headquarters to be that he couldn't take action!

If that were all, Headquarters actually also required him to help the opponent clear the path in front?

He had to help these pirates clear the path? Wouldn't that make him a bodyguard for the pirates, escorting them?

Regarding such an order, he felt very angry and puzzled.

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, it was useless; he didn't dare to disobey the orders from above.

Not long after, something that made this Navy Rear Admiral even more unhappy happened.

He didn't know what was going on, but the ship of that hateful guy named Lin Xuan always headed toward dangerous areas, either places where numerous Sea Kings appeared, or areas where many vicious pirates gathered.

To complete the mission, he had to mobilize forces to help him wipe out various obstacles in front. As a result, their Navy warships were almost destroyed several times, and despite this, they paid a heavy price.

Finally, as time passed, they were getting closer and closer to the Sabaody Archipelago.

... 0 Seeking flowers......

"This journey has been truly calm and peaceful; this feeling is really not bad!" A smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face.

In fact, how could he not have discovered the Navy that had been in front of them, escorting them?

At first, he didn't know why the Navy did this, but he soon understood: the Navy saw that he was only bringing two women and suspected him of plotting a conspiracy, so they actually thought of this method to test him!

Regarding this free protection, Lin Xuan naturally had no reason to refuse, so he pretended not to know.

Lei Kesi, who was clueless, nodded, very surprised that they hadn't encountered any obstacles along the way, as if all other pirates and Sea Kings in the sea had disappeared.

0... 0

However, they soon discovered that more and more Navy personnel began to appear around them, and the air was filled with a tense and stern atmosphere.

It was almost like breaking into Navy Headquarters, nearly surrounded by thousands of troops, scaring Lei Kesi and the others until their faces turned pale.

Seeing their trembling appearance, Lin Xuan said indifferently: "Alright, what follows is not something you can participate in. Those who want to leave, I allow you to leave. You can find a place nearby to get off the ship, otherwise, you probably won't have a chance to leave!" ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
