At this moment, countless people were drawn to what was happening. Even Steel Bone Kong and the prisoners who had been fighting paused unconsciously.
Everyone was wondering—
What was Lin Xuan planning to do this time?
But those who were familiar with his style—people like Rayleigh, Roger, and Whitebeard—already knew.
Lin Xuan was about to cause trouble again.
Big trouble.
And they were absolutely right.
Lin Xuan really was about to make a move, and it would shake the world.
"Universal Pull," Lin Xuan said in a low voice.
The next second—
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The entire Impel Down began to shake violently. The surrounding seawater churned wildly, and deep, muffled sounds echoed from beneath the ocean floor.
Then, to everyone's shock, they saw something unbelievable.
As the fortress trembled, it began to rise.
Slowly.
Steadily.
The massive structure that had been buried beneath the sea was actually emerging from the water.
At that instant, everyone understood what Lin Xuan was trying to do.
And because of that realization, they were completely stunned.
A single thought surfaced in everyone's mind.
He's… pulling Impel Down out of the ocean?!
They had thought that at most, Lin Xuan would break into the prison and free the inmates.
But reality proved that they had underestimated his madness.
Not only had he stormed Impel Down—
Now he was planning to take the entire prison with him?!
This was insane.
Absolutely insane.
This wasn't just slapping the World Government in the face anymore.
This was tearing flesh straight off their bones.
No one could have imagined that someone would rob them in such a brutal, outrageous way.
"That's terrifying… Is he even human?"
"He's unbelievably strong. Is there anything he can't do? He might really be the strongest man in the world."
"Announce it immediately! I'm definitely going to the Ninja Guild's World Conference. Anyone who dares stop me will die!"
Whitebeard Pirates
Whitebeard stared in disbelief. Then he burst out laughing.
"Gurararara! Chairman Lin is truly something else. You can never guess what he's thinking!"
Deep down, his admiration for Lin Xuan grew even stronger.
He even found himself wondering—
Should he take his crew and join the Ninja Guild?
Of course, it was just a passing thought.
As a ruler of the seas, he wasn't willing to become someone else's subordinate so easily.
Yet he failed to notice that this idea had already quietly taken root in his heart.
Red-Haired Pirates
Shanks was staring wide-eyed.
He had met Lin Xuan before and had even fought alongside him during the Paramount War. But in truth, he didn't know much about him—only that he was powerful and mysterious.
What Lin Xuan was doing now genuinely shocked him.
But soon, he found it incredibly fascinating.
"No wonder the captain stayed by his side," Shanks thought. "He really is extraordinary."
At that moment, he had already made up his mind about the Ninja Guild's World Conference invitation.
The Other Emperors
Among the Four Emperors, Big Mom and Kaido grew even more wary of Lin Xuan.
Someone like this had completely shattered the balance of the world.
For those who once stood at the top of the pyramid, it was hard to accept.
Yet they didn't dare provoke him.
Their lack of contact with the Ninja Guild all this time was precisely because of their fear of Lin Xuan.
Near the Gates of Justice
Kong, Sengoku, and the others stood there with bitter expressions.
Right in front of them, Lin Xuan was pulling Impel Down out of the sea.
And they didn't even dare try to stop him.
Not only that, they had to restrain their subordinates, preventing anyone from acting rashly.
It was humiliating.
Extremely humiliating.
But they had no choice.
If Lin Xuan could defeat even the Five Elders, what chance did they have?
Even if they attacked, it would change nothing.
Why sacrifice themselves for nothing?
Across the world, countless people were utterly stunned.
Once again, they witnessed just how terrifying Lin Xuan truly was.
As everyone watched in disbelief, Impel Down continued rising.
The first level.
The second.
The third…
All the way to the sixth.
Finally, the entire underwater prison was pulled completely out of the sea.
The massive structure now floated above the ocean, an awe-inspiring sight.
Many people guessed that Lin Xuan planned to take it back to the Sabaody Archipelago, just like he had done with Ohara.
But in truth, he had no such intention.
After all, what use was keeping a giant prison?
The next second—
Impel Down vanished.
Just like that.
Gone.
Once again, the crowd was shocked.
The enormous fortress had disappeared into thin air.
Was this some kind of ninjutsu too?
At the Ninja Guild
Minato Namikaze was stunned.
Teleporting a group of people had already exhausted him, and he had needed several trips to bring everyone back.
Yet the chairman had just transported an entire fortress.
His strength was unfathomable.
Soon, Impel Down appeared again on the live broadcast.
But it wasn't near Sabaody.
Beneath Lin Xuan, there stood a vast, majestic city.
"What… is he trying to do?"
On a warship, Kong's pupils shrank.
He suddenly roared in rage.
He recognized it instantly.
That was the Holy Land—Mary Geoise.
