Chapter 310

Lin Xuan didn't show that he knew Shirahoshi was the Ancient Weapon, and Neptune and the others thought Lin Xuan just had powerful intelligence capabilities and knew they had an Ancient Weapon, but didn't know where it was.

Even Neptune, seeing that Shirahoshi and Lin Xuan had such a good relationship, wondered what expression Lin Xuan would have if he knew Shirahoshi was Poseidon later.

Subsequently, under the reluctant gaze of Shirahoshi, Lin Xuan set off to leave Fish-Man Island.

At the same time, a new article he wrote was published in the newspaper.

This time, he didn't comment on a high-level official of the World Government, but wrote a debt-collection article, and the target of the debt collection—the World Government!

When the Summit War happened, the Five Elders thought Lin Xuan had attacked the Holy Land Mary Geoise and were forced to compromise and make concessions, thus agreeing to Lin Xuan's two conditions.

One of the conditions was the cession of Marineford, which was completed shortly after the war ended, and the current Marine Headquarters had moved to the new headquarters.

As for Marineford, it naturally became the territory of the Ninja Guild, but Lin Xuan lent it to the Revolutionary Army, and it was now garrisoned by the Revolutionary Army's troops.

This further consolidated the cooperation between the two sides, and now the relationship between the Revolutionary Army and the Ninja Guild was close, and even that guy Monkey D. Dragon often ran to Sabaody Archipelago.

The second condition was that the World Government needed to pay Lin Xuan one hundred Devil Fruits!

However, from the end of the war until now, the World Government had made no move, and it seemed they didn't intend to honor it.

This time, Lin Xuan didn't wantonly satirize the Five Elders in the article, nor did he criticize the World Government extensively.

The article was not long, and the content was very concise: The World Government is given one day to hand over the one hundred Devil Fruits owed to the Ninja Guild, otherwise, bear the consequences!

However, as the newspaper spread, it caused quite a commotion.

The Ninja Guild is challenging the World Government again?

For a time, many forces began to stir and were all paying attention to this matter.

Of course, many ordinary people were even more disappointed with the World Government after seeing the newspaper.

The fact that the World Government compromised during the last Summit War was actually publicized at the time, and now the World Government's failure to honor its promise also affected the prestige of the World Government again.

With the rise of the Ninja Guild, many people had already begun to choose to support the Ninja Guild, especially those who had been oppressed by the Celestial Dragons.

Even many countries that were still hesitating before were considering going to Sabaody Archipelago to attend the upcoming World Conference held by the Ninja Guild!

Before, they had no choice but to be under the jurisdiction and rule of the World Government, but now with the Ninja Guild, they had more choices.

Suddenly, the whole world became boisterous again because of this brief news!

World Government Headquarters.

Kong looked solemn as he went to see the Five Elders again.

Nowadays in the World Government, anything related to Lin Xuan and the Ninja Guild would be given the highest attention!

Even Kong, the Commander-in-Chief of the World Government, didn't dare to make decisions easily when facing Ninja Guild matters, for fear of making any mistakes!

Therefore, Kong could only ask the Five Elders for instructions.

When the Five Elders learned of this, the five of them didn't know if it was because they recalled the frustration of the Summit War or for other reasons, but their expressions suddenly turned cold.

Boom!

The one with the handlebar mustache smashed his fist on the table, smashing it into pieces.

"How bold, this guy actually dares to do this!" the handlebar mustache roared.

The bald monk on the side also said in a cold tone: "Hmph, we just didn't want to bother with him. Does he really think we would give him one hundred Devil Fruits?"

"Hehe, bear the consequences?"

The golden-bearded one sneered and said with some anger: "This guy dares to threaten us like this? Does he think we are really that easy to bully?"

The curly-haired one and the long-bearded one were also a bit angry, but the long-bearded one was also a bit worried.

In fact, the two conditions they agreed to for Lin Xuan at the time were just expedient measures.

And in their view, ceding Marineford was already a huge concession, and they had given enough face to the Ninja Guild.

Of course, it was mostly because if they didn't cede it, the Ninja Guild probably wouldn't have let it go so easily at the time.

As for the one hundred Devil Fruits, they were actually just stalling Lin Xuan, and in reality, they never considered honoring the promise.

Since the crisis was resolved, there was no need to really give the Devil Fruits!

Now seeing Lin Xuan openly threatening them, they felt extremely angry.

Hateful, simply extremely hateful!

They were the highest power holders of the World Government, they were the Five Elders, and the other party actually threatened them again and again!

Kong on the side was trembling with fear, standing by without speaking.

A moment later, the Five Elders gradually calmed down, and Kong then asked: "My lords, how should we respond to this matter?"

Soon, the reply given by the Five Elders was: "No need to pay attention!"

Kong hesitated; he really wanted to say that if they didn't pay attention, the Ninja Guild people would probably really do something.

However, the Five Elders might have their own considerations, and in the end, they just told Kong to strengthen defenses everywhere and let him leave.

After Kong left, several people snorted coldly again.

"Hehe, even if we don't give it to him, what can he do to us?"

"If he dares to come, we can take this opportunity to make him stay forever!"

"That's right, the prestige of the World Government was damaged because of him, and now it's time to restore it!"

Obviously, the several Five Elders didn't care at all about Lin Xuan's debt collection.

The situation now was different from then; at that time, they were worried about the situation in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, so they didn't dare to fight Lin Xuan for a long time, but now they were guarding the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

If Lin Xuan really dared to attack, they had enough confidence to stop him.

Moreover, Imu-sama was also in the Holy Land now, so it would be best to solve Lin Xuan then!

In this way, the prestige of the World Government would definitely be restored!

After receiving the reply from the Five Elders, although Kong was still a bit worried, he still issued an order to strengthen defenses in all aspects.

Soon, all subordinate departments, including the Marine Headquarters, entered a state of alert.

Time passed, and finally, a day went by.

During this period, the World Government never responded, neither honoring the promise nor making a reply, as if they were completely unaware of the newspaper matter.

However, a huge change also began at this time!
