A smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face.
By his estimation, once he completed this battle with the Marines and took control of the Sabaody Archipelago, earning at least one billion reputation points wouldn't be a problem.
By then, if he could travel to other worlds, that meant people like Uchiha Madara could travel too!
After all, even if he couldn't take them directly, he could simply recast the Reanimation Jutsu in that world to summon them again.
So, he sent a message in the Dimensional Chat Group:
"@Uchiha Madara @Senju Hashirama, this battle with the Navy—do your best! If you perform well, I'll take you to the world where Master Roshi lives and let you participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament!"
As soon as he said this, Madara and Hashirama both froze.
They sent multiple confused messages in the group.
Clearly, they didn't fully understand what Lin Xuan meant.
He seemed to be saying he could take them to Master Roshi's world—but what even was the World Martial Arts Tournament?
Lin Xuan had no choice but to explain again:
"@Master Roshi, Piccolo the Second—also known as the new Piccolo—will also be participating in the next tournament. When the time comes, I'll personally bring people to help you take care of him. You don't have a problem with that, do you?"
At this point, Master Roshi was still processing what Lin Xuan had just revealed:
Piccolo and Kami were essentially the same person?
He asked:
"But didn't you say that Piccolo and Kami are one? If you kill one, won't the other die too?"
Lin Xuan chuckled.
"Besides killing, there are plenty of other ways to deal with him. For example, beat him—beat him so badly that he questions his life choices. Beat him until he doesn't even dare to dream of world domination anymore. That would solve everything, right?"
Uchiha Madara: "…"
Senju Hashirama: "…"
Lin Xuan's words felt… oddly brutal.
For some reason, they suddenly started to feel a little sorry for Piccolo.
Master Roshi, on the other hand, was excited.
But after being tricked by Lin Xuan once, he was a little wary.
He quickly asked:
"You're not going to trick me again, are you?"
Lin Xuan replied calmly,
"If I really wanted to screw you over, I could just ignore you right now. What could you do about it?"
Master Roshi was speechless.
It was true.
If Lin Xuan really didn't care about them anymore, what could they do?
Honestly, the power imbalance between them and the one who reanimated them was far too big!
So now, all Master Roshi could do was hope Lin Xuan wouldn't screw him over again.
Then Lin Xuan added,
"By the way, remember how I asked you to help me get a strand of Goku's hair? It seems like we don't need that anymore. Once we arrive in your world, I'll just collect it myself."
"But then, helping you deal with Piccolo isn't really a favor anymore, is it…"
At that, Master Roshi got nervous.
He quickly replied:
"Lin Xuan, you already promised to help me! You're not going to go back on that, are you?"
Lin Xuan sighed, putting on a reluctant tone.
"Fine, fine. Who told you I'm such a nice guy? I'll treat this as me doing a good deed. Just make sure you welcome us properly once we arrive in your world!"
Master Roshi responded immediately:
"No problem! Absolutely no problem!"
But Madara and Hashirama were confused.
They clearly remembered that Roshi had traded fairly with Lin Xuan—he taught Lin Xuan martial arts, and Lin Xuan promised to help him deal with Piccolo.
So why did it now sound like Roshi owed Lin Xuan a big favor?
Before they could think too much about it, Lin Xuan switched the topic:
"Alright, Master Roshi, why don't you explain the World Martial Arts Tournament to them? I've got to go deal with a certain troublemaker now."
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, both Roshi and the others shifted their attention to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Uchiha Madara immediately asked:
"What are you going to do with Kaguya?"
Lin Xuan responded:
"Make her my maid."
The group chat instantly fell silent.
Clearly, Madara, Hashirama, and Roshi were all shocked by Lin Xuan's reply.
Make Kaguya, the origin of all chakra, their maid?
Even Madara, who once tried to be the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, had to admit just how terrifyingly powerful Kaguya was.
If it weren't for Black Zetsu's manipulations, and the sealing techniques used during the final battle, she might not have been sealed at all.
But now Lin Xuan wanted to make her… his maid?
Everyone was shaken.
Previously, Lin Xuan had asked them to seal Kaguya and deliver her to him—but he had never told them what his true intentions were.
Even Roshi, who'd sensed Lin Xuan might open the seal, had never expected this.
Senju Hashirama was the first to recover:
"You… how are you going to do that?"
Lin Xuan smirked.
"Simple. Fight her. Beat her until she submits."
Once again, Madara and the others were left dumbfounded.
Beat her until she submits?
Was that even possible?
Although they didn't know the full extent of Lin Xuan's strength, their rough estimate was that he might be slightly stronger than them—perhaps due to his mysterious nature.
But still, slightly stronger wasn't enough to beat Kaguya into submission, was it?
Lin Xuan knew they were skeptical, so he added:
"I'll stream the whole thing live. Just watch carefully when the time comes!"
