One Piece: Starting with the Reanimation of Madara

After buying some newspapers, Nami started reading. A short while later, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed in shock, "What?! Luffy... Luffy, something terrible has happened!"

The others on the boat were startled by the news, thinking that the pursuers had returned. They all jumped up immediately and looked around warily, but found nothing.

This confused them all, and they all looked towards Nami standing by the orange tree.

"Hey, Nami, did you find something?" Zoro couldn't help but ask.

As a result, they saw that Nami's eyes were still fixed on the newspaper in her hand, while she waved to them repeatedly, saying, "Come and see!"

Curious, everyone stepped forward and soon saw what had caused Nami to gasp in surprise.

"What?! The Revolutionary Army is moving to Marineford? Isn't that the Marine Headquarters?" Sanji exclaimed in surprise.

"It used to be the Marine Headquarters, but now it's the territory of the Ninja Guild!" Nami corrected.

"Huh, the Ninja Guild is going to hold a world tournament? Didn't the World Government just say they were going to hold a world tournament not long ago?" Usopp saw another message.

"What is the World Championship? Can you eat it?" Luffy asked curiously.

"Luffy, don't say anything!" Nami punched Luffy hard on the head.

Seeing their antics, Vivi, who was a guest on their boat, couldn't help but laugh.

She always felt much happier with this group of people, as if no trouble was insurmountable.

Then, looking at the newspaper on the table, she suddenly fell into deep thought: "The Ninja Guild is holding a world tournament, clearly with the World Government in mind!"

Her feelings about the Ninja Guild, a force that dared to oppose even the World Government and had won every battle, were actually quite complicated.

Originally, as a descendant of the twenty kings who founded the World Government eight hundred years ago, she should have supported the World Government and opposed the Ninja Guild. However, the World Government has disappointed her so much over the years that she has almost lost all sense of belonging to it.

Of course, this doesn't mean she approves of Lin Xuan and his group's actions; after all, their challenge to the World Government's authority did indeed cause turmoil. However, she still admires their subsequent actions in deterring the world and quelling the unrest.

In the end, Vivi could only think to herself: Perhaps, with the existence of the Ninja Guild, the World Government can become more clear-headed and more perfect!

However, after thinking about this, she suddenly realized that her own family's problems were still unresolved, yet she was already worrying about the World Government, which was rather ridiculous.

So, Weiwei gently shook her head, no longer thinking about these things.

Her gaze quickly returned to the front of their voyage, where Alabasta was already in sight.

This time, she is determined to quell the domestic unrest no matter what!

However, to Vivi's surprise, when she quietly entered Alabasta with the Straw Hat Pirates and was thinking about how to return to the capital without alerting Crocodile, she found that the rebel leader Koza and the captain of the King's Guard, Icarus, came to the port to greet her!

What's happening here?

Weiwei was somewhat taken aback, then overjoyed: "Has the rebellion in the country been quelled? Has everyone's misunderstanding been cleared up?"

After carefully questioning Kosha and the others, she learned that things were even stranger than she had imagined.

Icarus said, "After Crocodile returned from the Marineford War, he was stimulated by something and began to reveal his true colors that he had concealed for many years. We finally discovered the truth."

Vivi asked nervously, "And then what? Did you fight with them and then drive them away?"

However, when she thought about Crocodile's immense power, she realized that her idea was naive.

Sure enough, Koza quickly shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Crocodile and his men are too powerful. We're just putting up a lot of trouble and getting nowhere with them."

"So what's the situation now?" Weiwei immediately asked again.

Koza said, "Later, Crocodile ran away on his own!"

"Nani?"

Not only Vivi, but Luffy and the others were also somewhat taken aback when they heard this.

Nami said incredulously, "You mean Crocodile, who was having the upper hand, suddenly ran away? Did he suddenly have a change of heart?"

Ikaram said, "At first we didn't know what was going on, but later we found out that a few special passengers happened to be visiting Alabasta that day!"

"Special passengers?" Vivi asked, puzzled.

“Yes, it’s a few people from the Ninja Guild!” Kosa said.

"A ninja guild?!" The entire Straw Hat Pirates exclaimed in surprise.

"Is it that ninja guild on the Sabaody Archipelago?" Chopper asked excitedly.

“That’s right, it’s them!” Kosa nodded and said.

"Wait, could it be that the guests you're talking about are those old men from the Ninja Guild who are really good at playing in the sand?" Luffy suddenly exclaimed.

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to Luffy.

Then they heard Luffy say, "I saw some in Marineford. The Ninja Guild has a few old men who are really good at playing with sand. They're called Kazekage, and that Sand Crocodile runs away when he sees them!"

Ikaram exclaimed excitedly, "That's right! Those guys are the ones who call themselves the Kazekage! They're the ones who showed up and scared Crocodile away!"

Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood!

However, they still found it somewhat unbelievable. They hadn't expected the Ninja Guild to be so powerful. Their people didn't even need to lift a finger; just their appearance was enough to scare away a powerful guy like Crocodile!

Weiwei also felt somewhat dazed at this moment.

The problem that I had been running around trying to solve, almost risking my life, was solved by the Kazekage of the Ninja Guild without them even lifting a finger.

She's starting to wonder if she's dreaming!

However, she immediately followed up with, "Where are those distinguished guests from the Ninja Guild now?"

At this point, Kosha and Icarum both had strange expressions.

Kosa said, "They just disappeared suddenly, leaving only a few trees behind. Later, we investigated and it seems they all returned to the Ninja Guild. This is a special way for the Ninja Guild to leave."

"Really?" Vivi was immediately disappointed. "I was planning to thank them!"

“His Majesty has said in the past that he wanted to apologize to them in person. Let’s find another opportunity later!” Icarum said.

Vivi, however, seemed to have suddenly thought of something, her eyes lighting up as she said, "There's a great opportunity right now! Perhaps we can participate in the World Tournament hosted by the Ninja Guild!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around was taken aback.

Because they all knew what it would mean if Vivi, the princess of Alabasta, did this!

Only Luffy, upon hearing this, excitedly exclaimed, "Great! Let's go together! It'll be so much fun!"

No one paid any attention to his order.

Icarum immediately advised, "Princess Vivi, don't make a rash decision. If you do that, we'll become enemies with the World Government!"

Vivi, however, said dismissively, "So what? Where was the so-called World Government when our country was almost wiped out? They didn't care about our lives at all! On the contrary, it was the Ninja Guild that saved our country. Shouldn't we support our benefactor?"

Kosha and Ikaram were both speechless.

However, this matter was of great importance and not something Vivi could decide on her own. Therefore, she planned to return to the palace immediately to discuss this matter with her father.

Meanwhile, similar things are happening all over the world.

What Lin Xuan used to do by simply having guild members go out and show off to earn reputation points for him is now bringing them unexpected benefits!

The World Government initially thought the Ninja Guild's so-called World Tournament was a joke, but little did they know that the Ninja Guild's influence on the world was far greater than they imagined!

Chapter 269 Lin Xuan sets off, descending upon the Dragon Ball world!

The day after the announcement that the Ninja Guild was about to hold a world tournament, the newspapers published another very shocking piece of news on their front pages.

"Empress Boa Hancock of Amazon Lily announces that she will represent Amazon Lily at the World Congress in Sabaody Archipelago!"

This news, once published, once again caused a stir around the world!

While everyone was shocked, they also felt it was only natural.

After all, during the Sabaody Archipelago War and the Marineford War, they had already noticed the ambiguous relationship between the Empress and Lin Xuan. However, they were still quite surprised by the Empress's courage to announce it so directly to the public.

After all, this action is tantamount to declaring his defection from the World Government, resigning from his position as a Shichibukai, and even facing being hunted down by the World Government!

At this moment, on a merchant ship heading towards Changhuan Island, a hot woman wearing a cowboy hat was reading the latest newspaper while listening to the merchants on board discussing the matter.

A sudden smirk appeared on her lips: "I'd like to see just how charming this Chairman Lin is, that even the famous Empress is so captivated by you!"

If Lin Xuan were here right now, he would definitely recognize that this woman is none other than Nico Robin, the devil's child of Ohara!

Nico Robin was previously an important member of Crocodile's Baroque Guild 157. While pretending to assist Crocodile in stealing Alabasta, she secretly plotted to see the Poneglyphs of Alabasta.

Unfortunately, Crocodile was too useless; he inexplicably ran away at the most crucial moment, forcing her to flee Alabasta and temporarily abandon the Poneglyph.

After escaping, she lost all interest in finding Crocodile again. After some time of reflection, she happened to see the news that the Ninja Guild was going to hold a world tournament, and she became very interested.

Now she's heading to the Sabaody Archipelago to try and make contact with the Ninja Guild.

Perhaps, the Ninja Guild could be her next partner!

However, since that place is too sensitive now, almost no one dares to approach it casually, so she can only go to Changhuan Island with the merchant ship first, and then figure out a way on her own.

……

In fact, Lin Xuan himself did not expect that he had unintentionally stirred up so many undercurrents.

However, regardless of whether the Empress publicly announced her participation in the Sabaody Archipelago World Championships or Nico Robin's imminent arrival to seek refuge, Lin Xuan would temporarily ignore these external developments, even if he knew about them.

He entrusted the matter of the Revolutionary Army's entry into Marineford to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He then had Hiruzen Sarutobi and Monkey D. Dragon work together to prepare for the World Championship, while he himself began to busy himself with other things.
