~7 min read 1,211 words

Hearing Curly-Haired Elder's question, a smile suddenly appeared on Lin Xuan's face.

However, when the Five Elders saw this smile, their hearts suddenly jumped, and they suddenly became a bit uneasy.

At this time, they saw Lin Xuan hold up two fingers.

"What do you mean?" Curly-Haired Elder asked with a frown.

Lin Xuan smiled indifferently and said slowly: "To end this war, you must meet two conditions of mine!"

"What conditions?"

Several people stared at Lin Xuan, also a bit curious about what kind of conditions Lin Xuan would propose, and even prepared themselves mentally for the other side to open their mouths like a lion.

"My conditions are very simple; first, you must give me one hundred Devil Fruits!" Lin Xuan said in a flat tone.

One hundred Devil Fruits?

Upon hearing Lin Xuan make such a request, even Whitebeard, Roger, and Red-Haired Shanks were shocked, and others couldn't help but gasp.

The value of Devil Fruits is known to anyone with a little bit of knowledge; at the very least, they are worth about 100 million Berries, and some powerful, rare varieties are worth a fortune!

Not to mention that this thing is very precious; many people might not be able to buy one even if they have 100 million Berries!

And now Lin Xuan opened his mouth and asked for one hundred!

Even powerhouses at the level of the Four Emperors might not have seen one hundred Devil Fruits!

As for Curly-Haired Elder and the other four, their pupils shrank slightly after hearing this, but they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

To be honest, this quantity was indeed not small, but the World Government had ruled the world for so many years, so it was no problem to take out one hundred Devil Fruits, especially since the five of them were the highest-ranking controllers of the World Government.

However, they were not very willing to give Lin Xuan so many Devil Fruits.

You have to know that one Devil Fruit could potentially create a powerhouse with considerable strength, let alone one hundred; it was completely enough to allow any force's strength to be greatly improved in a short period of time.

The Five Elders refused this kind of behavior of nourishing the enemy from the bottom of their hearts.

Curly-Haired Elder pondered for a moment and then said: "One hundred Devil Fruits is too many? We can give you at most fifty!"

Being able to say such words was actually the Five Elders indirectly yielding to Lin Xuan; after all, they were truly worried that Lin Xuan would attack Mary Geoise.

Although Imu-sama, who was powerful, was still sitting in Mary Geoise, they felt that Lin Xuan might not be Imu-sama's opponent once they really started fighting.

However, even if there was a one-in-a-million chance of Imu-sama being defeated, they didn't want to take the risk!

In addition, they also knew very well that Imu-sama didn't want to be exposed too early!

What worried them even more was that with Lin Xuan's high-profile style of doing things, he would definitely broadcast it to the whole world at that time; after all, he had already done this kind of thing!

Then, at that time, even if Mary Geoise could withstand Lin Xuan's attack, as long as Lin Xuan didn't die, this matter would be enough to make the World Government lose face and become a laughingstock for the world!

The Five Elders naturally wouldn't allow this kind of thing to happen.

However, after Lin Xuan heard the Five Elders' words, he directly sneered and said: "Hmph, I am notifying you, not bargaining with you; one hundred Devil Fruits, not a single one less!"

"You!"

Hearing Lin Xuan's cold words, expressions of anger appeared on the faces of the five people opposite.

As the highest-ranking controllers of the World Government, they had always been high and mighty; for hundreds of years, who hadn't been respectful to them? When had they ever been threatened like this?

However, Curly-Haired Elder stopped the other four who were so angry they wanted to take action against Lin Xuan, took a deep breath, and said: "Okay, I agree to this condition; what is your second condition?"

Curly-Haired Elder was also very angry, but he also knew very well that the current situation was very unfavorable to them, and continuing to fight would only make the World Government pay a greater price!

"Hehe, I knew that with your IQ you would agree; it really didn't disappoint me!" Lin Xuan said with a smile.

When the Five Elders heard his words, the veins on the corners of their eyes couldn't help but twitch.

What does it mean that with their IQ they would agree?

Is this human language?!

Although very angry, they had no choice now and could only grit their teeth and suppress the anger in their hearts.

"What exactly is your second condition?" Long-Bearded Elder asked with an ugly face.

Watching the Five Elders looking like they wanted to eat him but couldn't do anything about him, Lin Xuan felt very happy in his heart, and a wanton smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, the five people were so angry their livers and gallbladders were about to burst!

If they could, they would love to beat this guy to death immediately!

Of course, Lin Xuan was deliberately trying to anger them.

Watching the five people about to go berserk, Lin Xuan continued to state his second condition: "My second condition is also very simple, and that is for the Navy Headquarters to move out of Marineford and let this place become the territory of the Ninja Guild from now on!"

As soon as the words fell, the Five Elders all widened their eyes.

In the distance, Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who had just been watching the fun, was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted directly on the spot: "This is impossible!"

The faces of the Five Elders also turned completely black.

Several people stared coldly at Lin Xuan, clenching their fists, and the killing intent on their bodies began to permeate.

Ceding Marineford?

How could they possibly agree to such a humiliating condition?

Not to mention anything else, as soon as such news spread, it would make the World Government lose all face, and at that time, their prestige would further drop to the freezing point, which would bring a lot of trouble to the World Government.

Besides that, the Navy Headquarters, Impel Down prison, and Enies Lobby were connected by a huge whirlpool, and a Gate of Justice was built in each of these three places; it was an important military stronghold.

Therefore, Lin Xuan proposing such a condition had already touched their bottom line!

At this moment, the thoughts in the Five Elders' hearts also began to waver, thinking about whether to join forces and continue to wage war with the Ninja Guild!

However, before they decided to take action, they suddenly heard Lin Xuan say faintly: "I wonder what kind of lively scene it would be if everyone in Impel Down were released!"

Hearing his words, the pupils of the five people couldn't help but shrink!
