I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

The merfolk granted Figo the ability to discern good and evil intentions, and this ability was further enhanced after merging with Figo's power.

Perhaps influenced by the power of Hades, Figo sensed a faint malice before even entering the building. This feeling intensified upon seeing the sleeping Naika!

There are several other bases for making this judgment.

For example, the reputation of the Celestial Dragons.

Those who dominate the universe are not benevolent men and women; otherwise, there would be no need for various races to unite and carry out the demon liberation plan. Could they really be so proper towards a barbarian girl?

There was even a hint from Ato: at the moment the battle was decided, he told Figo, "Apologize to Naika for me." Why apologize? They had promised to meet again but broke their promise? It would have been better not to tell Naika about his death at all.

Ato probably sensed something and knew that he was affecting Naika's life.

Looking at Is glaring at him, Figo remained silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "Perhaps it's because we don't know each other well enough, so we don't trust each other enough. I'm going to take the Naika family away. In a year or two, I'll go to the Central Star Region to see for myself what the Expeditionary Army is like before deciding whether to join or not."

It's not the right time yet. We can't touch him. We can't defeat even one of the nine great generals.

“You…” Captivated by Figo’s gaze, Is’s chest heaved, hesitant to stop himself.

Chapter 183 Prophecy

"Well……"

Being picked up in his sleep, Naika was dazed for a moment, then his body tensed up suddenly. When he saw Figo's face clearly, he blinked in surprise.

"You are... that uncle... who doesn't need to pay for fish in advance?"

“It’s me.” Figo smiled. “Naika, call me Grandpa. How about Grandpa takes you and your mom and dad to my house for a while?”

“But I’m not going to…” Naika murmured, then saw Is not far away and nervously wrapped her arms around Figo’s neck. “That grandpa said he would send me to Tianlong Star.”

“We’ll go again when we have the chance. Naika doesn’t know enough right now, and if we go too early, she’ll get bullied by the other kids,” Figo said.

Naika's face changed: "Ah..."

Is watched as Figo easily swayed Naika's mind with just a few words, his face darkening. Several times he felt an urge to shout and stop the threat, but reason prevailed over him.

Figo is someone he can't afford to offend. Even though he's a Celestial Dragon, as long as Figo accepts the summons from the Celestial Dragons, his status will immediately surpass his. The Celestial Dragons have a very clear class system.

He even had to force a smile: "You're right, people don't trust each other because they don't understand each other. I hope to hear the good news that you've joined the expeditionary force in a while. Since you want to, the Naika family can go with you. Take good care of this little girl."

Figo didn't respond, but looked at Ana who came out of the lounge with surprise and said, "I had a very pleasant conversation with Lord Is of the Celestial Dragons, and we agreed that I would join the expeditionary force after I finished dealing with some matters. Now we will leave East Cyos first."

This doesn't seem like a pleasant conversation.

Ana thought to herself with a heavy heart, wondering what was going on with this barbarian girl.

It wasn't until she and Figo ascended into the sky and reached the star ring that she asked, "What happened?"

Figo paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "I'm still a bit weak; I need to work harder."

"Huh?" Ana's eyes twitched wildly.

……

Below, Is quickly received news that Figoana had picked up a barbarian couple, and that Figo had used his ability chains to carry the four of them into space. He gritted his teeth in annoyance.

Don't you even want to reveal your whereabouts?

Was it keen insight, or just a coincidence?

Or is it simply paranoia?

My thoughts were read? He clearly didn't light the lamp of the Heart Net!

After a long period of frustration, he dialed a Den Den Mushi and said, "Lord Rein, I have failed. I was unable to get Gaston Figo to join the expeditionary force."

He recounted everything that had just happened to the other party in detail, inevitably embellishing the story slightly in his anger, to illustrate Figo's disrespect for the Celestial Dragons.

"How am I supposed to ask the God General for forgiveness for you?" Only a man's amused voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Is's face twitched, and he said, "Lord Rein, next time you imprison a demon, I will choose a powerful natural or animal-type mythical beast and reserve one for you."

"The prison has been destroyed, who knows when you'll imprison demons again?"

"Then you..."

"I want a time-based or space-based system."

Is's eye twitched violently; he had been caught secretly intercepting that Devil Fruit carrier...

Do you want to change positions?

"No, I agree, Lord Renn!"

For the Celestial Dragons, guarding the planet East Cyos is a lucrative position!

"Hmm." A satisfied voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "I will report to Lord Sixth Divine General. As for the rest..."

"That's enough, that's enough!"

Is was filled with gratitude. Everyone in the Celestial Dragons knew that among the current nine generals, the sixth general, Flavor, was the laziest, most easygoing, and least involved in anything.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, he spat angrily at the other end of the line and sat there sulking.

Tianlongxing.

The arrogant Rein, who was originally dealing with Is, adopted a humble attitude when he came to the Sixth God General. Since he was not originally dealing with the Sixth God General, he had to recount the whole story from beginning to end.

I thought the Sixth Divine General would just say "Okay, I understand" and that would be the end of it, just like before.

Unexpectedly, the tall, blue-haired figure sat up straight with interest: "Gaston Figo, Penri Ana, Ato? Looks like something interesting has happened, Beelzebub."

Interesting? What's interesting about it? Beelzebub? Raine looked up in confusion, only to find that the figure on the huge seat had vanished without a trace!

……

Two weeks later, in Qinghai.

Naval Headquarters.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku paced anxiously in his office, while the three admirals sat in their chairs. Seeing this, Akainu said, "It's just a child's prophecy. There's no need to be so nervous, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

“That’s no ordinary child. When she was three years old, she accurately predicted the birth of the mermaid princess, the Sea King, just like those giant sea kings said,” Zhan Guodao said.

Akainu snorted, clearly still not believing him.

Kizaru then said slowly, "Countless demons are attacking Qinghai? How terrifying~"

Only Aokiji's expression remained serious and earnest, yet he also seemed a bit drowsy.

Sengoku was in a real predicament until a marine outside reported: "Marshal, the Mermaid King Neptune and the Mermaid Prophet Shirley have arrived!"

Sengoku immediately went out to greet them.

Eight-year-old mermaid Shirley, her mermaid tail wrapped in air bubbles, followed Neptune, holding a crystal ball.

The child had the air of a prophet, showing no stage fright and remaining expressionless, which made Sengoku even more convinced. After greeting Neptune, he immediately said, "Little Shirley, could you tell me the details of your prophecy?"

“The sky is full of horned people,” Shirley said calmly. “They’re fighting you. You’re here, they’re here, they’re all here.”

She pointed to the three generals who had followed her out.

"Specifically? How many enemies? When?" Sengoku quickly pressed for details.

“Several thousand? Countless.” Shirley shook her head slightly and said, “The time is unclear; my prophecy cannot predict the exact time.”

"But you prophesied about the Little Mermaid..."

"Only that one time."

Sengoku paused, then said seriously, "Could you try your best? This concerns the safety of Qinghai. Also, is Lord Figo in the scene you predicted? You should know what Lord Gaston Figo, the King of the World, looks like."

“I didn’t see it,” Shirley said.

Her small face was serious as she gently stroked the crystal ball, within which images seemed to appear. After a few minutes, she said to the group of people who were watching her intently, "About... six months later?"

"Only six months?!"

Sengoku's expression changed drastically. He said, "Damn it! We have to find a way to inform Lord Figo!"

Just then, a marine came running up, breathless, saying, "Marshal! Marshal! The King of the World has returned! He has just landed in Impel Down!"

The room fell silent for a moment, then everyone revealed their surprise and delight.

……

Meanwhile, in the central star region.

On the planet Raibur, a ghostly man draped in a long robe floated up to the Sixth General, Blue Flavor, who was waiting on the sofa, and said:

"The king said, please come in."

The sixth god bowed politely and entered to meet King Raibur, whom he was seeking.

King Raibur is also the king who lights four lamps at the top of the starry sky. He is recognized as the weakest in combat among all the four-lamp kings, but even the sixth god needs to be treated with courtesy when he visits him.

Because of his unparalleled mastery of the Mind Network, no one in the entire starry sky could surpass him. His mysterious and unpredictable precognitive abilities helped King Raibur to avoid danger and benefit from it, so no one wanted to provoke him.

He also covered his entire body with a heavy robe, sitting cross-legged and floating in front of a crystal ball, exuding an air of mystery. Seeing that the Sixth Divine General had not risen, he asked, "What do you need me to foresee?"

“There won’t be too much loss this time. I want you to know someone: Gaston Figo, the newly crowned number one swordsman of the Eastern Universe Sea.” The Sixth God General handed over a portrait.

"Sword Saint? Eastern Universe Sea?" King Raibur glanced at the portrait and sent it back.

I was a little confused, but I still got to work.

He rubbed his hands on the crystal ball, and soon, two words that only he could see appeared.

'justice'!

Hmm? Recalling the premonition from sixteen years ago, King Raibur was somewhat surprised and began to stroke the crystal ball once more.

This time, the image was revealed.

In the picture, a little mermaid girl is caressing a crystal ball just like him, with a serious expression.

"……Um?!"

Chapter 184 The Professor Seeks the Pulse

"Bring on Lord Wang!"

"You're back!"

"Hahaha... I thought it would be several more years before I could see you again!"

When the guards saw Figo again after half a year, their enthusiasm almost burst through the roof.
