The Alternatives of the Tianlong Family

The five elders remained silent, none of them quite understanding what Im meant.

"The North Sea is now home to most of the world's pirates. If he wants to get the Pluton Battleship blueprints, he has to snatch them from these people. While he's snatching the Pluton Battleship blueprints, he can also help us deal with a lot of great pirates."

Although Is was born a Celestial Dragon, his power was so immense that even the current Five Elders could hardly restrain him, especially considering his trip to the North Blue.

Although Im had previously trusted Is, he now harbors some doubts about Is.

He has sat in this position for eight hundred years, and he wants the whole world under his control, including the Celestial Dragons.

Is is gradually slipping out of her control. If she doesn't take this matter seriously, she'll be in big trouble if Is betrays her.

"Does Lord Im also believe that Is has designs on betraying our World Government?" one of the Five Elders asked.

“I am not Is, and I cannot fathom his thoughts,” Im said, shaking his head slightly.

"Is our current approach simply to continue monitoring Is?" one of the Five Elders asked.

"No need."

"Lord Im means..."

"You don't think Is unaware of your surveillance, do you?" Im sneered.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders exchanged glances.

"Let's see what Is does next before making a decision. I hope he won't betray us." Im sat on the Void Throne and slowly closed his eyes.

"Go back!"

"Yes, Lord Im!"

The five elders responded in unison.

…………

The Grand Line, the North Sea.

At this time, Bondiwald was still on the run. He had encountered Karp twice on this sea, but Karp had escaped both times.

During this time, he also encountered a talking sea king, but he chased it away.

"Hehehe... I've finally found you, Bondiwald!"

While sailing on the sea, Bondiwald suddenly heard a loud laugh.

He turned his head and saw someone he had only seen in the newspaper.

"Shiki!"

"Hand over the blueprints for the Hades warship, and I'll spare your life," the Golden Lion roared menacingly from mid-air.

"If you want it, come and get it, Shiki!" Bondival, realizing what was happening, grinned and shouted.

"It seems you want to perish in this sea," the Golden Lion said coldly, his arms crossed over his chest.

"If you're capable of doing it, then give it a try!"

"Lion Valley"

“Shuashuashua!!!”

The Golden Lion drew two famous swords from his waist and unleashed countless golden slashes, aiming at Bondiwald.

"Momo, fifty times the speed!"

Despite the countless golden slashes coming at him, Bondiwald showed no fear. He gripped the rudder and used his Devil Fruit powers to increase the ship's speed fiftyfold.

The ship vanished from its spot and reappeared in the distance in an instant.

"So this is your ability?" The Golden Lion gazed calmly at the distant ship.

"Want to get the blueprints for the Hades battleship, Shiki? Then come and steal them!" Bondiwald laughed loudly.

As long as the ship isn't destroyed, few can catch him on this vast ocean.

Although he possesses the Float-Float Fruit and can fly, Bondiwald still doesn't believe that Shiki's speed surpasses his.

"Shh!"

The golden lion sneered, then unleashed a terrifying sword aura towards the sea ahead.

"Shh!"

The sword energy instantly cleaved the ocean, stretching all the way to the horizon.

"Ok?"

Bondiwald was puzzled when he saw that the Golden Lion's sword aura was not aimed at his ship, wondering what the other party was up to.

"boom!"

The sea area affected by the Golden Lion Sword Qi instantly turned into waves, rising up and blotting out the sky, trying to swallow his ship.

This is the power of the Golden Lion Devil Fruit: he can manipulate anything that his attacks touch.

"Damn it, he can control both his Devil Fruit and the ocean?"

Bondiwald's face darkened as he looked at the towering, sky-covering waves.

He is a Devil Fruit user, and if he is swept away by the ocean, he will lose his ability to fight.

Bondiwald's ship dared not remain still and sped off into the distance.

However, the Golden Lion kept chasing after him, manipulating countless waves to attack Bondiwald, leaving him nowhere to run.

At this moment, Bondiwald saw a huge island in the distance and, without any hesitation, steered his boat toward the island.

He had absolutely no chance of winning if he stayed at sea.

Chapter 163

Bondiwald and the Golden Lion waged a great battle on an island in the North Sea.

The news quickly spread throughout the world, and all the great pirates in the North Blue began heading to the island where the two were fighting.

The navy also received the news and organized forces to launch an attack on the North Sea, intending to wipe out all the great pirates.

…………

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, within the castle of Is.

Is and the others also saw the news about the battle between Bondiwald and the Golden Lion.

"It seems Shiki also wants the blueprints for the Pluton battleship." Yoriichi Tsugikuni looked at the newspaper in front of him and took a sip of his coffee.

“No one is uninterested in the blueprints for the Hades battleship,” Is said casually, reclining on the soft sofa.

"Yes, the other great pirates who got wind of this should be arriving soon," Hashirama Senju reminded him, looking at the newspaper in his hand.

"Are we going to steal the blueprints for the Hades battleship, Is?"

Unohana Retsu placed the newspaper on the table and looked at Is, asking a question.

“The Five Elders are already on guard against us. Going to the North Sea now will only increase their suspicions, and they might even try to wipe us out. It’s best not to act rashly,” Is said, shaking his head slowly.

He has no intention of abandoning his identity as a Celestial Dragon; he has no ambition to dominate the world.

Unless the world is handed to him, or he has absolute power to rule the world 100%.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked offending the World Government, arousing their suspicion, and abandoning his comfortable position.

“Is, we are strong enough now, why should we remain subservient to others?” Acnologia asked, resting his chin on his hand.

“If we break away from the World Government, we’ll only be able to become pirates. Then we’ll face the World Government, the Navy, and other pirates as our enemies. It won’t do us any good,” Is replied, shaking his head.

“That makes sense,” Acnologia nodded.

"Bulu Bulu..."

"Bulu Bulu..."

"Bulu Bulu..."

The Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang, and Is picked it up and put it to his ear.

The Den Den Mushi slowly transformed into the appearance of a bald old man.

This startled Is slightly, but he remained silent, waiting for the other side to speak first.

"Is, you should know about what happened in the North Sea, right?" the bald old man asked calmly.

"You mean Shiki and Bondiwald?"

"Correct."

"There are a large number of pirates gathered in the North Sea this time. We need you to set off and do your best to wipe them out," the old man on the top of the head slowly instructed.

Upon hearing this, Is frowned slightly, unsure of what the Five Elders were planning.

Aren't the Five Elders afraid that he'll go to the North Blue, steal the blueprints for the Pluto warship, and rebel against the World Government in the future?

Now they're actually offering to send him to Beihai? This is something he never expected.

"Are you going to refuse this mission, Is?"

"No, I'll take this mission."

Although he was filled with doubts, Is nodded and accepted the task.

"That's good. Don't let us down, Is."

The bald old man said with relief upon hearing this, and then hung up the phone.

"They actually offered to send us to the North Sea?" Hashirama Senju was also somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

Now that they're suspected of harboring treacherous intentions, how can we still dare to send them to Beihai?

"Who knows, but they definitely have their own plans."

····

Is also completely baffled by the Five Elders' intentions, but the Five Elders, who sit in the highest leadership positions of the World Government, must not be reckless.

Sending him to Beihai this time was likely a well-considered decision, as they unanimously believed that the incident was within their control.

"Shall we go to Is?" Madara Uchiha asked, picking up an apple from the table and eating it as he went.
