One Piece: Starting with the Reanimation of Madara

Therefore, the owners behind those auction houses were all afraid of attracting the attention of the Ninja Guild and bringing disaster upon themselves, so many of them chose to close their auction houses directly!

It is precisely for this reason that Rayleigh is now finding it difficult to even sell himself as an "ordinary coating craftsman" and earn some money for drinks.

Furthermore, now that the Sabaody Archipelago has become the territory of the Ninja Guild, coating work is impossible without the special bubble materials provided by the Sabaody Archipelago. So even if he doesn't sell himself, he can't honestly be a coating craftsman.

At this moment, he began to think about whether he should learn ninjutsu from the Ninja Guild. That way, he wouldn't have to rely on auctions to make money anymore. It seemed easier to make money by building houses for people, and he wouldn't have to worry about losing his job!

Without hesitation, he walked directly towards Hashirama Senju and his group, starting to ingratiate himself with them.

Lin Xuan was somewhat amused and exasperated after learning of Rayleigh's movements.

This old man is really going all out for his money for drinks! That night.

Inside a building in Marineford, the scene was rather lively.

No matter what world it is, holding a banquet is a must after winning a fierce battle, and this atmosphere is even more intense among the pirates in this world!

The successful defeat of the World Government's army and the Ninja Guild's occupation of Marineford, along with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates' successful rescue of Ace, made it all worthwhile to hold a celebration banquet.

Pirates live a very casual lifestyle, and with their participation, the atmosphere at the banquet was immediately enlivened.

At this moment, Lin Xuan was sitting in a quiet place, quietly enjoying his meal.

It has to be said that the food prepared by the chef on Whitebeard's pirate ship was indeed quite good, which made Lin Xuan consider whether he should find a professional chef when he returned to the Sabaody Archipelago.

The other members of the Ninja Guild were reanimated, so they couldn't eat, which was understandable. But they were alive and well, and Connie also needed to eat, so they naturally wanted to eat more delicious food.

Sanji Black Leg from the Straw Hat Pirates seems to be quite good at cooking, but Lin Xuan wouldn't dare to compete with Luffy for the chef position; that would be too beneath him.

After much thought, Lin Xuan even considered whether to go back and tie up Redfoot Zeff and take him to the Sabaody Archipelago.

Of course, these were just Lin Xuan's thoughts at the moment.

Just then, three figures walked over, none other than "Fire Fist" Ace, Sabo, and Luffy.

Ace approached Lin Xuan and bowed deeply to him, thanking him for helping Whitebeard save him.

If the Ninja Guild hadn't been involved, the Whitebeard Pirates alone wouldn't have been able to save his life, and might even have been wiped out here.

Even his two brothers, Sabo and Luffy, might be in mortal danger because of him!

Therefore, for Ace, Lin Xuan was his great benefactor, even though the Ninja Guild's existence was due to a deal with Whitebeard!

As for Sabo and Luffy, their gazes toward Lin Xuan were filled with gratitude and awe.

Even the simple-minded Luffy knew that this was a super strong person who was many times stronger than them, and who had even helped them save Ace.

Lin Xuan nodded in acceptance of their gratitude.

In fact, Lin Xuan didn't lose out at all this time, because he used Roger, Ace, and Whitebeard to earn a lot of reputation points for himself. However, he felt no guilt at all when faced with the gratitude of Ace and the others.

After all, he earned his reputation points through his own efforts, which doesn't prevent him from becoming Ace and the others' benefactor!

On the contrary, with this favor in hand, he can continue to use these guys to earn reputation points for himself in the future!

Chapter 250: The Pirate King Goes to the Dragon Ball World to Participate in the Martial Arts Tournament?

After receiving thanks from Ace and his two brothers, Lin Xuan looked at Luffy and suddenly had a thought. He asked a question: "Straw Hat Boy, you've entered the Grand Line now, right? How many crew members have you found?"

"of course!"

When Luffy talked about his pirate crew, he suddenly became proud and said, "Our pirate crew has five crew members now, and they are all very interesting guys!"

This sentence reveals the guy's basic principle for choosing companions—funny!

In fact, according to the original plot, he did eventually recruit a group of strange and unusual people as companions.

Of course, none of this mattered to Lin Xuan. What mattered was that, based on what Luffy said, there were currently five of them, and he was able to roughly guess the location of their companions and the current time.

However, Lin Xuan had no idea how much the Straw Hat Pirates' journey would change due to the butterfly effect he caused.

Afterwards, Lin Xuan simply sent them away, letting them attend the banquet on their own, as he himself wanted to enjoy the food.

As a result, when Ace left with Sabo and Luffy, they happened to run into Roger and Rayleigh, who were also on their way to find Lin Xuan.

He simply snorted and turned to leave, completely ignoring Roger.

When Luffy saw Roger, he was excited and wanted to challenge the former Pirate King and take the title. However, Ace hit him hard on the head and dragged him away.

Clearly, the rift between the father and son has not yet been resolved.

Roger didn't seem to mind and sat down next to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan glanced at him and said, "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"

“There’s nothing to worry about! After all, I really did wrong him. Whether he forgives me or not doesn’t matter. As long as he’s doing well, that’s all that matters, hahaha…” Roger said loudly, looking very magnanimous.

Whether he was just naturally oblivious or doing it on purpose, his words actually reached Ace's ears, causing Ace to pause for a moment before continuing on his way.

As for Lin Xuan, he discovered that Roger, despite being a dead man, was also imitating others by holding a wine glass, talking, and gulping down wine.

As a result, the wine seeped out directly from his reanimated body, flowing all over the ground, which was an absolute waste!

However, considering that the drinks were provided by Shanks and his pirate crew, Lin Xuan naturally didn't say much.

Lin Xuan simply asked, "Did you need something from me?"

Roger scratched his head and said, "First, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to rescue my son. Second, I want to ask you for a favor!"

"What is it?" Lin Xuan asked.

The usually carefree Roger surprisingly appeared shy and said, "I'd like to ask you, could I see Rouge one more time?"

"I thought something serious had happened!"

Lin Xuan initially wanted to wave his hand and say directly, "Don't bother me with such a small matter. Just go find Orochimaru. If he's willing to help you, your wish will naturally be fulfilled!"

After all, resurrecting natives of the One Piece world using the Impure World Reincarnation technique doesn't require Lin Xuan to do it personally; Orochimaru can do it, and it's not a big deal.

But as soon as he was about to speak, Lin Xuan thought again, "Wait a minute, Roger must know that Orochimaru can perform the Impure World Reincarnation, so why did he come looking for him?"

Is it because they already approached Orochimaru and were rejected, that they came to him instead?

Or was it because he knew Roger was one of his men, and he came to see him first in order not to displease him?

Considering that Orochimaru had just obtained a large number of Devil Fruits and couldn't wait to run off to study them, Lin Xuan felt that the latter was more likely.

But he always felt that Roger didn't seem to have that kind of wisdom!

He guessed that the reason Roger came to find Lin Xuan instead of going directly to Orochimaru was because Rayleigh, who was by his side, had reminded him.

As Roger's right-hand man back then, it was perfectly reasonable for Rayleigh to remind Roger of something. However, Lin Xuan felt that since Rayleigh liked to offer advice so much, he shouldn't blame Lin Xuan for dragging him into the mess!

So Lin Xuan swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said something else: "If I wanted to do it, it wouldn't be difficult. But the question is, why should I help you?"

Upon hearing this, both Roger and Rayleigh were somewhat dumbfounded.

·· 0 flowers requested ·· ······

Roger went directly to Rayleigh and said, "Rayleigh, this isn't what you said!"

Rayleigh also looked completely bewildered.

In his view, today was a great victory, and in such a happy state, shouldn't Lin Xuan have readily agreed?

Seeing Rayleigh's bewildered expression, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smirk.

Rayleigh saw the ill-intentioned look in Lin Xuan's eyes, so how could he not know that Lin Xuan was doing this on purpose?

But he could only bite the bullet and say, "President Lin, we're all comrades who fought side by side, so please do Roger a favor!"

Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "It's not impossible to grant Roger's wish, but only after you help me accomplish something!"

. .... ....

"Complete something? What is it?" Roger asked impatiently.

Lin Xuan ignored Rayleigh's feelings and said directly, "It's nothing, I'm just planning to take some people to participate in a large-scale martial arts tournament, and I'd like you two to participate as well!"

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh frowned but remained silent, wondering if Lin Xuan was trying to trick them.

However, Roger didn't even hesitate and said directly, "Just this? No problem, I agree!"

Rayleigh: "...Hey, Roger, you bastard, can you stop making decisions for me without my permission?"

He always felt that he was unlucky whenever he met Roger, and after twenty years, that bastard still dragged him into the same trap!

In contrast, Roger, after hearing his words, actually patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't say that. It's just a martial arts tournament. With your strength, do you think anyone in this world can kill you?"

Rayleigh's lips twitched slightly.

However, he was still very confident in his own strength. Perhaps there were many people in the world who were stronger than him, but killing him would not be so easy!

However, Lin Xuan's next words left him somewhat bewildered.

Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "I never said that the martial arts tournament was held in this world!"

Reilly: "???"

Roger: "???"

What does this mean? (士)
