One Piece: Starting with the Reanimation of Madara

Moreover, in this situation, if he issues orders that contradict the Five Elders, wouldn't that be tantamount to betraying the World Government?

Thinking of this, Sengoku took a deep breath and said, "All troops, listen to my command! Withdraw from Marineford!"

When this order was issued, countless people in the navy were immediately thrown into despair, their faces showing confusion.

However, as soldiers, they obeyed their superiors' orders and began a rapid retreat.

As for the Five Elders, they had already left and headed straight for the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!

P.S.: Special thanks to the generous donor 【飞羽】 for the huge donation of 3 Feilu Coins!

Chapter 248 Madara: Hashirama has been corrupted by Lin Xuan!

The Marineford War has finally come to an end with the hasty departure of the Five Elders!

In the end, neither side truly emerged victorious in this war.

However, as everyone knows, the World Government suffered another major setback in this renewed confrontation with the Ninja Guild.

They originally planned to use the execution of "Fire Fist" Ace to forcefully suppress Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, and establish their authority, but all of their plans failed without exception!

In addition, the final act forced the Navy, which served as the face of the World Government, to leave their territory!

At this time, the navy was rapidly gathering everything it could to prepare for its evacuation from Marineford.

Many members of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates were only now recovering from the shock they had just witnessed. While they breathed a sigh of relief, they were still quite astonished!

There was no way around it; seizing the World Government's territory and snatching food from the jaws of a tiger was simply too unbelievable for them!

However, the Ninja Guild actually did it, and... twice!

First they occupied the Sabaody Archipelago, and now they've even occupied Marineford, which was originally the headquarters of the Navy!

Each one is more exciting than the last, it's simply unbelievable!

They wouldn't have believed it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

In comparison, the so-called great things that their pirate crew, which was at the level of the Four Emperors, had done in the past seemed rather insignificant!

While the navy was quickly withdrawing, Lin Xuan naturally arranged for his own people to begin cleaning and repairing Marineford.

As for the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates, as well as those who escaped from Impel Down with Sabo and Luffy, they obediently sat down in the open space, resting and discussing the battle they had just fought.

An hour later, the navy hurriedly left, taking only some very important items with them; they couldn't possibly take all their belongings.

It wasn't that they didn't want to take it with them, but Lin Xuan simply didn't give them that kind of time.

At this moment, on the top floor of the Naval Headquarters building.

Lin Xuan played with the fifty Devil Fruits the Navy had just handed over while watching them leave.

at this time--

"Whoosh!"

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju suddenly appeared beside him and stood side by side.

Madara Uchiha looked at the retreating fleet ahead and suddenly asked, "I'd like to know, why do you always seem to be so lenient towards the people of the World Government?"

Hashirama Senju also looked at Lin Xuan, somewhat puzzled.

During the last Sabaody Archipelago war, Lin Xuan did not exterminate the World Government, and this time it was the same; he deliberately let the World Government personnel go.

Based on their current understanding of Lin Xuan, they do not think he is an indecisive person.

This is why they were puzzled by Lin Xuan's two decisions to let the World Government personnel leave.

Lin Xuan smiled upon hearing this and asked in return, "What do you think the reason might be?"

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju had clearly both considered this question before.

Therefore, Hashirama Senju directly asked, "Is it because although the World Government is corrupt, there are still some Marines who uphold justice, so you don't kill them?"

Madara Uchiha offered a different perspective, saying, "I think you're worried that destroying the World Government would lead to global chaos and widespread suffering? You even had contact with that Revolutionary Army before; do you intend to support them to become the new World Government?"

The reason he made this guess was because he could see that Lin Xuan was not at all like someone who wanted to be the ruler of the world.

Otherwise, Lin Xuan wouldn't have so casually entrusted the management of the Ninja Guild to him and Hashirama Senju!

Lin Xuan simply smiled and said, "You've all guessed part of the reason! Actually, there's another reason: I think it's more meaningful to completely squeeze out their value than to kill them directly, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he added in his mind: Killing people is nothing compared to earning reputation points. If I kill them all, who will I use to farm reputation points later?

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were speechless upon hearing this.

Sure enough, this guy is no good!

Although they didn't know what value Lin Xuan was talking about, they understood what he meant. He probably thought that the World Government was still useful to him, so they couldn't kill him for the time being!

At this moment, they heard Lin Xuan continue, "...What's more, that guy hiding in the shadows hasn't shown up yet, and the Revolutionary Army isn't strong enough, so we can't push them too hard for now!"

"that person?"

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were taken aback, and then they remembered that not long ago, during their battle with the Five Elders, they had heard Lin Xuan and the Five Elders mention a name: "Lord Im!"

Could it be that Lin Xuan was referring to the so-called "Lord Im"?

Seeing that Lin Xuan had no intention of continuing to explain, the two did not ask any more questions, but their expressions became somewhat solemn!

However, they did remember the name "Lord Im".

Just then, a figure suddenly emerged from a crack in the nearby air, and it was none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki!

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were immediately drawn to her, only to find that she showed no signs of fighting at all!

Immediately, both of them were puzzled: What's going on?

Seeing their puzzled looks, Lin Xuan just chuckled and said, "Thinking it's strange? Actually, there's nothing strange about it. I just told her to go back and rest, and to prepare some new offerings. Who would have thought those five old guys would think I sent Kaguya to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise? They scared themselves half to death! Hahaha... Yun..."

Upon hearing this, both Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were dumbfounded.

After finally coming to their senses, they felt speechless at Lin Xuan, but suddenly felt very sympathetic towards the Five Elders.

Hashirama Senju sighed softly and said, "It's a real shame we won't see their expressions when they learn the truth after they go back. Otherwise, it would have been quite a show!"

Uchiha Madara: "..."

Hashirama seems to have gone astray under Lin Xuan's influence!

Chapter 249 Kaguya never went to Mary Geoise!

Red Earth, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

After traveling at full speed, the Five Elders finally made it back here.

When they saw that the place had not been attacked or damaged, the five of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The man with the long beard said, "It seems that the guy did not break the promise between the two sides and attacked the Holy Land Mary Geoise again."

However, when they returned to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and inquired about the situation there, their expressions suddenly turned extremely grim!

Because they had just learned from their men guarding the area that the white-haired woman they were so wary of had never actually been to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!

Upon hearing this news, how could they, with their intelligence, not realize that they had been completely fooled by that guy Lin Xuan once again!

"hateful!"

"asshole!"

"That damned brat, how dare he lie to us!"

All five of them looked extremely grim.

The thought that they had been forced to agree to the other party's conditions made them even angrier.

In a fit of rage, Big Star Curly unleashed a 147-punch attack, smashing the wall in front of him to pieces!

However, just as they were consumed by their anger, a voice suddenly rang in their minds:

"You all come here!"

Upon hearing this voice, the Five Elders' expressions changed. Their anger vanished instantly, replaced by fear and unease.

Because that voice belonged to the mysterious Lord Im!

No matter how terrified they were, they dared not disobey Im's decree, so they quickly and respectfully came to the Void Throne, and sure enough, they saw Im already sitting on the throne!

……

Marineford, formerly the Marine Headquarters, is now the new territory of the Ninja Guild.

The original large buildings have mostly been reduced to ruins due to the fierce fighting.

However, thanks to the efforts of the Ninja Guild's "Engineering Team," several brand-new buildings appeared on Marineford Island shortly after nightfall.

Seeing this astonishing scene, apart from Whitebeard and several division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates who had previously been to the Sabaody Archipelago, everyone else in the Whitebeard Pirates and the members of the Shanks Pirates were shocked.

This is ninjutsu? It can actually be used like this?

The scene before them was so different from what they had seen during the day that many people were caught off guard and didn't have time to process it.

On the contrary, Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, suddenly became interested in this scene.

Since the Ninja Guild was established, many human trafficking auction houses around the world have closed down. After all, it is rumored that Lin Xuan was almost enslaved by the Celestial Dragons, which is why he went against the World Government.
