Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 280: Continue Leading the Way!

Kyle followed several CP0 members into Mary Geoise and then headed straight for Pangaea.

Before long, they arrived at Pangu City. Outside the city, there were rows of soldiers guarding the city, and at the very front stood five tall, elderly men.

"Um?!"

Upon seeing this, Kyle frowned slightly.

Why are those old guys, the Five Elders, out here?

Theoretically speaking, if he were going to see them, they should be waiting for him in the power center, not waiting for him outside like they are now.

Hey!! At this point, some people might ask, Kyle, how do you know the Five Elders are waiting for you? Maybe they're just out enjoying the breeze and sunshine?

Bullshit! What a load of rubbish!

Ever since he arrived, those five old guys have been staring at him. What else could they be doing but waiting for him?

The current situation no longer resembles the Five Elders battling him!

Instead, the Five Elders acted as a greeter and guide.

The only person who could get these five old guys to do something like this is...

Kyle's eyes flickered slightly, and he had already confirmed his answer. His eyes narrowed.

Is it Im who wants to see him?

The situation is now quite clear; there is no other explanation than Im wanting to see him.

However, Kyle didn't quite understand!

Why does Im want to see him?

In the original work, Im was not someone who liked to show his face in public. Even his grandfather, Sengoku, who was the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, did not know of Im's existence.

Within the World Government, only a small number of people are qualified to know of Im's existence.

These few people are those who signed the contract with Im.

So... why would Im want to see him, an "outsider"?

Kyle couldn't understand it, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart.

He had never planned to see Im, since he knew that the deaths of just a few Celestial Dragons wouldn't alarm Im.

That's why he directly confronted Satan head-on.

In the original work, Im was only very cautious, sensitive, and even fearful when it came to Joy Boy.

At other times, however, he showed little interest in what was happening in the world.

Similarly, he recently received more information about Im from David D. Jones.

This includes Im's strength and some events that occurred more than 800 years ago.

To be honest, Kyle is still wary of Im, after all, he is a god-level powerhouse certified by David D. Jones.

The gap between God-level and Demigod-level is far greater than the gap between Demigod-level and King-level peak.

From David D. Jones, he roughly knew what level a god-level being was, a power that he couldn't currently match.

Although David D. Jones also told him that Im's condition was not right, that the injury from eight hundred years ago had not yet healed, and that he might not be able to unleash the true power of a god-level expert.

Even if the power it unleashes hasn't reached the god level, it's still far stronger than the demigod level, and it's also something that Kyle can't match right now.

There's nothing we can do about it now.

He had already arrived in Mary Geoise; the die was cast.

So all we can do is go and meet this legendary Celestial Dragon King, an ancient living fossil who has lived for over 800 years.

After all, if he insists on not seeing the other party now, it may put him in an even more disadvantageous position.

and so……

The WHO is afraid of the WHO!

Although he was probably no match for Im in terms of strength, Kyle was still confident in his ability to escape.

In the original story, even Sabo could escape right under Im's nose, let alone him.

So you can just run around anywhere, okay?

While there might be reasons in the original story where Im didn't want to personally pursue Sabo, those are minor. As for his own escape abilities, Kyle only has two words to say:

confidence!!

Soon, Kyle arrived in front of the Five Elders. The CP0 members who were leading the way nodded to the Five Elders and then dispersed to the side.

Kyle's gaze swept over the five people, finally settling on one of them, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Yo!! Isn't this Saint Satan?! Long time no see, how have you been?!"

Satan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Kyle, and spoke in a low voice:

"It has been a long time since we last met, but the way you acted on the phone with me just now didn't seem like you were all well!"

"Hahaha! Saint Satan, don't worry about those details, okay? Actually, I didn't mean it that way; maybe you're just being overly sensitive!"

Now that he knows he's going to meet Im, he'd better not be so arrogant on Im's turf.

Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner, right?

He doesn't really care about the Five Elders now, but he's still quite wary of Im.

It's okay to soften your stance a little when appropriate.

Kyle wouldn't feel embarrassed for having just gone head-to-head with Satan and now softening his stance slightly.

Face? What is that? He doesn't care about those things.

He is a pragmatist. He knows what benefits him and what is the best solution for him at the moment. As long as his bottom line is not crossed, he can soften his stance appropriately.

It's nothing.

His bottom line is first and foremost the safety of Luffy and his crew. If the World Government really intends to take action against Luffy and his friends, even if they aren't killed, Kael will absolutely not give the World Government any face and will fight them head-on!

After hearing Kyle's words, Satan simply gave Kyle a deep look and said nothing more.

At this moment, Mercury Topman Volchilli Saint, who was standing to the side, spoke up:

"Alright, enough with the unnecessary chatter! Don't keep the adults waiting!!"

After saying that, he glanced at Kyle and narrowed his eyes slightly.

I can't feel it!!

When Kyle met them last time, he could roughly sense Kyle's aura and know roughly what level the other party's strength was.

but now……

He was completely unaware of what was happening.

Kyle was like a vast ocean; he felt no 'ripples' at all.

"It seems... their strength has indeed increased to an unimaginable level!!"

Topman Vochuli couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He certainly knew what Kyle's situation meant.
