To put it simply, it meant leaving behind a name while the Figarland Family, stripped of its resource distribution, would be struck from the registry and gradually fade away, leaving Lynn as nothing more than one of the Celestial Dragons without a family.

After Lynn, the Figarland Family would completely vanish from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise—this was what the Gorosei called a dignified resolution.

However, unexpectedly, Lynn returned right while the Gorosei were discussing this!

Lynn was not even wearing the transparent bubble helmet or the outing attire of the Celestial Dragons, marching angrily straight toward the interior of Mary Geoise.

Behind him, the Droplet followed automatically, maintaining a distance of half a person.

Officials, guards, and others coming and going in Mary Geoise had their gazes drawn toward him, stirring up a wave of curiosity.

Water? It could float and fly automatically, and it even followed him—could it be some sort of living creature?!

Yet upon seeing that Lynn was one of the Celestial Dragons, they quickly turned their heads away, not daring to look directly for fear of getting into trouble.

Lynn was in no mood to care about the scrutinizing looks of others, walking straight past with the anger on his face showing no signs of abating.

Soon, however, he spotted Sengoku, Garp, and the Three Admirals waiting in Mary Geoise.

Before the marines set off, the moment Garp heard it was a grand spectacle of Celestial Dragons fighting each other, he immediately tagged along with a beaming smile.

Lynn's gaze was caught by their figures for a moment, but after a single glance, he ignored them.

He was furious right now, and he had to settle accounts with Roswald!

Sengoku, the admirals, and Garp had actually been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Lynn stride over with an angry expression, and noticing a droplet-shaped object genuinely following behind him, their eyes lit up brightly.

"This must be the Droplet. It looks quite miraculous, doesn'Golden Divine Punishment it?"

Kizaru pointed it out to the others with a smile on his face.

Sengoku and Garp slowly nodded, then took the initiative to step forward.

"Figarland!"

When the higher-ups of the Marines met the Celestial Dragons, kneeling to pay respects was unnecessary, but the required courtesies still had to be observed.

Lynn slowed his pace and nodded, knowing full well what these marines had deliberately come up here to do.

"So this is the Droplet... I wonder if Saint Figarland might be willing to chat with us about it?"

Sengoku and the others genuinely wanted to witness the power of the Droplet, so they inquired.

"We'll talk later. I'm busy."

Lynn did not refuse outright; instead, he glanced at them before continuing his walk deep into Mary Geoise.

With an attitude like that, if it had been before, Garp and Akainu would certainly have worn unpleasant expressions. Yet knowing beforehand that Lynn was boiling with rage and off to pick a fight—and that he was a deviant Celestial Dragon who had invented something like the Droplet—they understood the situation for now. Exchanging glances, Sengoku and the others followed along behind him.

Witnessing the Droplet was one thing, but watching a good show was another, after all.

"Borsalino, does this thing really pack that much of a punch?"

Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru walked at the very rear, and Akainu could not help asking with a hint of skepticism.

The Droplet certainly looked miraculous, with a smooth surface resembling a mere drop of water, but it was hard to imagine it possessing immense power.

"It's pretty, but nothing particularly special."

Aokiji also looked at Kizaru, but Kizaru only smiled without answering, wearing an expression that clearly said he was waiting to see what would happen.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Holy Land.

Commander-in-Chief Kong was reviewing documents and handling administrative affairs when he received a reminder from his assistant.

"Figarland is furious?"

Kong immediately understood the situation. As a high-ranking general stationed permanently in Mary Geoise, he had heard about the matter concerning the Roswald Family, and the Gorosei had adopted a tacitly approving attitude.

"Yes, Marshal Kong. You also know that Saint Figarland has struck members of the Roswald Family more than once before... He'll likely make a move this time as well."

The assistant said cautiously from the side.

It was not a matter of likely—he definitely would!

Kong wore a helpless expression as he stood up and strode toward the exit.

Regardless of the circumstances, this affair involved a conflict of interests between Celestial Dragons' families, but if a brawl broke out, he still had to do his utmost to stop it.

They arrived at the residential area deep within Mary Geoise, located behind Pangaea Castle. This was the place where the greatest concentration of Celestial Dragons lived.

All sorts of magnificent and luxurious buildings stood in rows, each one serving as a residence for Celestial Dragons, and among them was Lynn's.

However, upon reaching this area, Lynn walked in a different direction, soon arriving at a Small Castle and pushing open the doors to the largest recreational venue in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

The guards at the entrance did not dare to stop Lynn in the slightest, dropping to one knee in salute.

As the large doors swung open, a group of Celestial Dragons was revealed inside, drinking, partying, and chatting. Aside from the guards, there were even numerous slaves being paraded around for mutual exhibition or subjected to perverse forms of torture.

Lynn disliked coming here and had only ever visited once, but right now, his target was definitely inside!

"Yo, isn'Golden Divine Punishment that Figarland Lynn? I heard he raised one hundred billion Beli just to research technology?"

"He never usually comes to a place like this. Could it be he ran out of money and came to borrow some?"

As the doors opened, all sorts of Celestial Dragons caught sight of Lynn, and several of them burst out laughing and blurted out those words.

The rest wore expressions of disdain to varying degrees.

No matter which family they belonged to, every single one of them reacted this way, for they knew Lynn was completely broke—not only had his savings been carted away, but his Heavenly Tribute quota had also been stripped from him.

Under normal circumstances, even if they had grievances against Lynn as an oddity, his low standing would not have brought about such mockery.

Right now, he was merely a half-baked Celestial Dragon dangling by a title.

Lynn remained silent, his sharp gaze sweeping across the crowd until he quickly located members of the Roswald Family.

Just at that moment, however, a Celestial Dragon with dark green hair hurried over and grabbed Lynn's arm.

"Saint Mjosgard?"

Lynn glanced suspiciously at the fellow who had grabbed him.

This person was a member of the Donquixote Family. Lynn had become friends with him because he knew this was the Celestial Dragon who, years ago on Fish-Man Island, had been reformed and enlightened by Queen Otohime.

"Brother, don'Golden Divine Punishment act on impulse just yet. All the Celestial Dragons here are close with the Roswald Family—you'll come out the loser in a closed fight!"

Saint Mjosgard murmured a warning to Lynn in a low voice. In truth, the moment he heard Lynn had returned, he had rushed over to wait by the stump for the hare.

Sure enough, knowing Lynn's temperament—someone who never waited overnight to exact revenge—he really did catch him here.

"Hahahahaha, Lynn, what's wrong? Did you run out of money to spend?"

At that moment, Saint Charlos, the snot-nosed man, finally made his entrance, stepping forward to laugh loudly with a thoroughly gleeful expression.

Lynn's gaze instantly locked onto Charlos. He pried Saint Mjosgard's hand away, his expression gloomy as he lifted his leg and walked over!

The Droplet followed right behind him, not a single fraction of a distance out of place.
