One Piece: Starting with the Reanimation of Madara

However, before he could even make a move against Luffy, he was attacked by members of the Akatsuki organization and had to quickly dodge and defend himself, not daring to be distracted any longer.

Kong, who was fighting Tobirama Senju, became somewhat anxious and suddenly shouted in Lin Xuan's direction, "Lin Xuan, what do you mean by this? You're not afraid of being ridiculed by the whole world for breaking your promise?"

However, he was surprised to find that Lin Xuan was not moving at all, looking as if he had been deep in thought, as if he had not heard him at all.

"asshole!"

Steel Bone Kong didn't know if Lin Xuan was doing this on purpose or pretending, but he knew that at this moment, he could only rely on Rob Lucci to stop Luffy!

On the execution platform, Rob Lucci stood near Ace, his gaze falling on Luffy, his eyes suddenly turning cold.

The two had actually fought before, but because the surrounding battles were so chaotic, they hadn't actually determined a winner.

Therefore, when Rob Lucci saw Luffy rush onto the execution platform, a strong fighting spirit immediately erupted from his body.

However, Luffy ignored Lucci's gaze and instead looked at Ace, who was kneeling on the ground with his arms bound by seastone shackles, and grinned, saying, "Ace, I've come to save you!"

"Luffy!" Ace stared intently at Luffy in front of him, his feelings indescribable.

Just then, Rob Lucci saw that Luffy was ignoring him, and his face darkened. He shouted angrily, "Monkey D. Luffy, if you want to save Fire Fist Ace, you have to get past me first!"

In an instant, Luffy's gaze finally fell on Lucci, and he said, "If I knock you away, I can save Ace, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched one arm into a fist and pressed it to the ground, while his legs contracted and moved like an air pump.

"Second gear!"

The next second, Luffy's skin turned red and began to emit large amounts of white steam.

This scene caused Rob Lucci's pupils to shrink sharply!

Chapter 242 Lin Xuan: Is the Holy Land of Mary Geoise undefended?

Luffy didn't use this move when he fought Rob Lucci before.

At that moment, Rob Lucci could sense that Luffy's aura had instantly become much stronger!

Rob Lucci dared not be careless and his body quickly changed, directly entering his leopard-man state.

Soon, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle right there on the execution platform.

On the high platform, Lin Xuan just came to his senses at this moment and noticed the situation on the execution platform. He couldn't help but laugh with interest: "Luffy has actually learned Gear Second? It seems that he has changed quite a bit because of me!"

According to the original storyline, Luffy only learned it after his first defeat in battle against CP9.

Because of him, Luffy encountered Sabo earlier than expected and broke into Impel Down.

It was probably around that time that he mastered Gear Second, but what remained unchanged was that the enemy he used Gear Second against was still Rob Lucci!

Originally, this was considered a spectacular duel in the original story.

However, for Lin Xuanlai at this point, it was just a minor skirmish; his main focus was still on the battle between Uchiha Madara and the Five Elders.

He had only come here to earn reputation points under the pretense of Whitebeard's invitation to join the war. Now he had basically achieved his goals, and his reputation points were still increasing, which made him very satisfied.

Whether "Fire Fist" Ace was rescued or not seems to have become less important!

When he turned his gaze back to the silver barrier, he found that Madara Uchiha and the Five Elders were still fighting.

"These old guys are pretty tough!" Lin Xuan muttered to himself.

After taking a closer look, he discovered where the problem lay.

Although Madara Uchiha and his four companions, in terms of their individual attack and combat abilities, were actually above the average level of the Five Elders.

However, they are mostly combat-oriented, with too few support roles, and their teamwork is too rudimentary.

On the other hand, the Five Elders' teamwork was so seamless that it felt like they were one person, so they fought for a long time without getting a result!

Even Whitebeard, the only survivor among Madara Uchiha's group of five, was injured in the battle.

If Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Obito Uchiha, and Roger hadn't all been resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, making them virtually indestructible, they might all be injured right now.

Looking at the Five Elders' side, although many of them were injured in the battle, the Second Elder, Long Beard, had such a strange healing ability that even though the damage caused by Truth-Seeking Balls was almost unsolvable in the ninja world, he was still able to heal it.

Therefore, thanks to the powerful healing abilities of the two elders, Long Beard, no one on their side was in any danger of death!

Judging from the situation, Lin Xuan felt that even if they were given another day, let alone an hour, this battle might not be over!

"Do I have to buy the time-slowing barrier a few more times?" Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly.

He actually noticed that the rate at which his reputation points were increasing had started to slow down.

Clearly, it's time to enter a "cooling-off" period.

Looking at his reputation points in his account, they had now reached a staggering 3.2 billion!

He estimated that after earning another 300 million, there would be basically no more profit to be made.

In other words, continuing this war would be of no value to him.

After all, he needs to pay a price to sustain the war. Whether it's the time-slowing barrier or the reanimated bodies of his subordinates, they all consume reputation points!

Moreover, he didn't come to this war to kill the Five Elders; he came purely to earn reputation points and, incidentally, to witness the Five Elders' strength.

Now that he had achieved his goals, Lin Xuan was thinking about ending the war as soon as possible to maximize the benefits of this operation.

However, he had just promised not to interfere in the Five Elders' battle and to let them fight fairly, so intervening now didn't seem like a good idea.

"How about I try the same trick again and send someone to Mary Geoise to make the Five Elders retreat on their own?" Lin Xuan pondered, resting his chin on his hand.

As a result, the more he thought about it, the better he felt it was!

But who should we send?

After thinking it over, Lin Xuan suddenly realized that he didn't really need to go to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. If he could just scare the Five Elders, they would probably have to leave!

Suddenly, a smirk appeared on his lips, and then, as if he had just thought of something, he excitedly exclaimed, "Oh, right, the Five Elders are all here now, so the Holy Land of Mary Geoise is undefended right now?"

The voice wasn't very loud, but it immediately reached the ears of those who had been watching him, sounding like a thunderclap!

The second of the Five Elders, the one with the long beard, had been keeping an eye on Lin Xuan's side while fighting.

Since he had just discovered the time-slowing barrier, he had been on guard against Lin Xuan suddenly launching a sneak attack.

With his powerful Observation Haki, he could hear Lin Xuan's words clearly, and his face turned pale with fright.

What alarmed him even more was that he then saw Lin Xuan excitedly mutter something to Kaguya Otsutsuki beside him. Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded, raised her hand, and opened space 143, disappearing into it!

"Oh no!" The long-bearded man's expression suddenly changed drastically.

He guessed that Lin Xuan must have sent that woman to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!

Thinking of the strength that Kaguya Otsutsuki had previously displayed, he felt anxious.

Just then, a cold laugh suddenly rang in his ears: "It's really not good for you to suddenly lose focus during a fight like this!"

Uchiha Obito!

Taking advantage of the moment when the Second Elder Star, Long Beard, was distracted, he actually appeared beside him with his divine power!

The long-bearded man was greatly shocked and immediately tried to dodge. At the same time, the other Five Elders around him had tried to come to his rescue, but—

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Chaos in Hell!"

With a low shout, several large trees covered in thorns suddenly grew rapidly around the long-bearded man, blocking the other four Five Elders outside. At the same time, they spiraled upwards wildly, with countless thorns intertwining and spinning, like several meat grinders, directly engulfing the long-bearded man!

Suddenly, a shrill scream resounded in all directions!

P.S.: I've been busy all day and just sat down to write. Sorry for the late update. Sigh, the downside of being a stay-at-home dad and writer is that once the kid starts fussing, there's basically no way to handle it. I guess I'll have to stay up late tonight to write and update!

Chapter 243 The Five Elders Almost Spit Blood from Lin Xuan's Anger!

That scream came too suddenly!

As a result, everyone who had just temporarily shifted their attention elsewhere immediately turned their attention back to the battlefield on Madara Uchiha's side.

Then, everyone was suddenly a bit confused.

Because, to their astonishment, they saw that the two old stars with long beards, who had just been calmly and unhurriedly providing healing services to their teammates, were now hanging from several trees!

The one who let out the scream was none other than him!

Lin Xuan's attention was naturally drawn to the commotion.

In fact, even he was somewhat surprised by this turn of events.

In all honesty, he had deliberately shouted so loudly just now, intending to distract the Five Elders, but he didn't expect that Obito Uchiha would seize the opportunity so precisely and deliver a powerful attack to the enemy's healer!

It has to be said that Obito's attack was indeed quite ruthless!

His Hellfire was originally a common killing move he used in the past, which he combined with Wood Release and Kamui. It shouldn't have been very effective against characters like the Five Elders. However, he covered it with Yin-Yang Release and even Armament Haki, so it became a different story!

The other four Elders were temporarily blocked by him, and could only watch helplessly as the long-bearded man's body was pierced by more than a dozen thorns!

"asshole!"

The other five elders were furious when they saw this.

Amidst the roars, some attacked the strange trees that Obito Uchiha had created, while others attacked Obito Uchiha directly.

However, Obito had anticipated this, so after his successful attack, he immediately used Kamui to intangibly retreat!

So he escaped unharmed, and the long-bearded man was also rescued by the other party.
