Chapter 060: A Mere Enel Isn’t Worth My Effort!

Gates of Heaven.

When Lin Xuan and his crew arrived here, they unexpectedly didn't encounter the old woman named Amazon, who had appeared in the original storyline.

In fact, all of them had sensed that the old woman wasn't absent—she was simply hiding and didn't come out.

However, since she was just an old woman with no combat ability, they couldn't be bothered with her and simply passed through the Gates of Heaven.

As for the so-called "White Sea Specialty Express Shrimp," it didn't appear this time either. But a mere cloud path naturally couldn't stop Lin Xuan and his group.

After Lin Xuan and the others left, the old woman finally emerged, her wrinkled face twisting into a cold smile as she contacted the priests who had already set out to intercept them: "Priests, the illegal intruders have entered. Await your divine punishment upon them!"

After traversing the winding cloud path, Lin Xuan's group finally caught sight of the true Skypiea. For a moment, everyone—except Gan Fall and the three still-unconscious Celestial Dragons—was awestruck by the island's breathtaking beauty.

"Wow, the scenery here is truly stunning. It really looks like the legendary paradise!" Hashirama couldn't help but exclaim.

Though Madara didn't speak, his expression made it clear that he agreed with Hashirama's sentiment.

Kuzan, on the other hand, sighed softly and said, "I never expected such a beautiful island to truly exist in the sky!"

Lin Xuan, who had been busy browsing the Reputation Store, finally looked up to take in the scenery.

Gazing at the stunning beach, he suddenly thought of someone particularly suited to guide his training and immediately began searching the Reputation Store.

Soon, his eyes lit up. "As expected, it's here!"

Madara, puzzled, asked, "What's here?"

Lin Xuan chuckled lightly. "Nothing much. I just thought of a training method and decided to stay behind to try it out. This battle, I'll leave to you all!"

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Before Madara or Hashirama could speak, Gan Fall was the first to voice his concern. "You're not joining the fight? Can they really handle it alone?"

Truth be told, he still wasn't entirely confident in Lin Xuan's claim that they could defeat Enel. Now that Lin Xuan said he wouldn't participate, his doubts only grew.

Lin Xuan patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry. A mere Enel isn't worth my effort. My companions can wipe him out with a wave of their hands!"

Hearing him speak so casually, Gan Fall became even more skeptical. He even considered whether he should flee now to avoid being dragged down by Lin Xuan and the others.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan immediately pointed at Kuzan and said, "Don't believe me? See him? Admiral Kuzan of the World Government's Marine Headquarters in the Blue Sea was captured by us. What's a mere Enel compared to that?"

Kuzan, hearing this, finally couldn't hold back his anger and roared, "Enough! I was only captured because of bad luck! If you have the guts, take off these Seastone cuffs and fight me properly!"

Unfortunately, neither Lin Xuan, Madara, nor Hashirama paid him any attention.

Gan Fall's eyes lit up at the mention of "Marine Admiral." He had heard of the Marine Admirals of the Blue Sea—though he didn't know their exact strength, they were undoubtedly formidable warriors.

If Lin Xuan's group could capture a Marine Admiral, their strength must be even greater.

Suddenly, Gan Fall's confidence in their mission grew.

He even urged them eagerly, "Then let's hurry! Any later, and Enel's priests will surely come to stop us!"

"No, they're already here," Madara suddenly said, his gaze fixed in a certain direction. A look of excitement flashed across his face, like a starving wolf spotting prey. He was already itching for a fight.

"The Four Priests? It's good if you deal with them first," Lin Xuan said, also looking in that direction. Then he turned to Kuzan and asked, "Kuzan, do you want to join them in battle, or will you stay behind?"

Kuzan was momentarily stunned, not expecting Lin Xuan to give him a choice.

He asked cautiously, "You mean you'll remove my Seastone cuffs?"

Lin Xuan nodded. "Of course. How else will you fight?"

Kuzan pressed further, "Aren't you afraid that once my cuffs are off, I might team up with this Enel to fight you?"

Lin Xuan merely chuckled. "If we captured you once, we can do it again. Besides, even if you try to ally with Enel, he'd never trust you. He might even see you as part of some scheme and attack you first."

Kuzan glanced at the three Celestial Dragons Lin Xuan was holding and realized another problem: even if he regained his freedom and could fight, he might not be able to safely rescue the three Celestial Dragons, let alone escape Skypiea with them as deadweight.

Moreover, he reasoned that since the Celestial Dragons weren't in immediate danger, there was no need to rush an escape. Staying behind to gather more information about Lin Xuan and his group might be the wiser choice.

With that in mind, he declared, "I choose to join the fight."

"Alright!"

Lin Xuan promptly removed the Seastone cuffs from Kuzan's wrists.

Instantly, Kuzan felt the weakness in his body fade, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Madara, however, was growing impatient. "Are you done with all this chatter? I'm going ahead!"

With that, his figure flickered and vanished from sight.

"Honestly, that guy Madara is as impatient as ever," Hashirama muttered, shaking his head in exasperation. But he quickly followed, his figure darting after Madara.

Gan Fall, witnessing their speed, felt his spirits lift. He immediately mounted Pierre and took off after them.

Kuzan gave Lin Xuan one last glance before swiftly charging forward as well.

As for Lin Xuan, his eyes swept across the beach as he eagerly searched for a spot to perform the Edo Tensei and summon the person he had chosen.
