Kong's Headache: Celestial Dragons Causing Trouble for Celestial Dragons?
Simply put, he would keep his status, but the Figarland Family, stripped of its share of benefits, would be removed from the rolls and gradually fade away. Lynn would become nothing more than a Celestial Dragon without a family.
After Lynn, the Figarland Family would completely disappear from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. This was the dignity the Gorosei spoke of.
But unexpectedly, just as the Gorosei were discussing this, Lynn returned!
Lynn was not even wearing the transparent helmet or the Celestial Dragons' outdoor attire as he stormed into Mary Geoise.
Behind him, Droplet automatically followed, keeping half a person's distance away.
The officials, guards, and others moving through Mary Geoise were all drawn to look over, stirring up a wave of curiosity.
Water? It could float and fly on its own, and it followed someone. Could it be some kind of living creature?!
But once they saw that Lynn was a Celestial Dragon, they all turned away and did not dare look directly at him, afraid of inviting trouble.
Lynn had no mood to care about other people's stares. He strode straight ahead, the anger on his face not diminishing in the slightest.
Soon, however, he spotted Sengoku, Garp, and the Three Admirals waiting in Mary Geoise.
Before the Marines had set out, Garp had immediately followed along with a grin upon hearing there would be a spectacle of Celestial Dragons beating each other up.
Lynn's gaze was briefly drawn to them, but after one glance, he ignored them.
He was furious right now. He had to settle the score with Roswald!
Sengoku, the Admirals, and Garp had actually been waiting here all along. Seeing Lynn approach in a rage, with a droplet-shaped object really following behind him, their eyes lit up.
"So this is Droplet. It looks quite amazing, doesn't it?"
Kizaru pointed it out to everyone with a smile.
Sengoku and Garp slowly nodded, then took the initiative to walk over.
"Saint Figarland!"
Marine higher-ups did not need to kneel when meeting Celestial Dragons, but the proper courtesies were still necessary.
Lynn slowed his pace and nodded. He knew what these Marines had specifically come up for.
"So this is Droplet... I wonder if Saint Figarland could tell us about it?"
Sengoku and the others truly wanted to witness Droplet's power, so they asked.
"Later. I have something to do."
Lynn did not refuse. He merely glanced at them before continuing deeper into Mary Geoise.
If this had happened before, Garp, Akainu, and the others would certainly have looked displeased by such an attitude. But they already knew Lynn was furious and coming to cause trouble, and he was an unusual Celestial Dragon who had invented something like Droplet. They understood, exchanged looks, and Sengoku's group followed after him.
Seeing Droplet was one thing. Watching the show was another.
"Borsalino, does this thing really have that much power?"
Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru walked at the back. Akainu could not help voicing his doubts.
Droplet did look miraculous. Its surface was smooth, just like a drop of water, but it was hard to imagine it possessing immense destructive power.
"It looks nice, but there's nothing particularly special about it."
Aokiji also looked at Kizaru. Kizaru merely smiled without speaking, wearing an expression that said they should wait and see.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Holy Land.
Commander-in-Chief Kong was reviewing documents and handling affairs when he received a reminder from his assistant.
"Saint Figarland is charging around in a rage?"
Kong immediately understood. As a high-ranking officer permanently stationed in Mary Geoise, he had heard about the Roswald Family's situation, and the Gorosei had tacitly approved it.
"Yes, Marshal Kong. You know Saint Figarland has beaten members of the Roswald Family more than once before... This time, he will likely strike again."
The assistant spoke sternly from the side.
Not likely. He definitely would!
Kong wore a helpless expression, rose to his feet, and strode outside.
No matter what, this matter involved a conflict of interests between Celestial Dragon families. If they started fighting, he still had to do everything possible to stop them.
They arrived at the residential district deep within Mary Geoise, behind Pangaea Castle. This was where the largest number of Celestial Dragons lived.
Magnificent, extravagant buildings stood everywhere, each one a Celestial Dragon residence. Lynn's residence was among them as well.
But after reaching this area, Lynn headed in another direction. He soon arrived at a Small Castle and pushed open the doors to the largest entertainment venue in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
The guards at the entrance did not dare stop Lynn at all and dropped to one knee in salute.
As the doors opened, a group of Celestial Dragons could be seen gathering inside, drinking and chatting. Aside from the guards, there were even many slaves being shown off to one another or subjected to twisted torture.
Lynn did not like coming here and had only visited once, but now, his target was definitely here!
"Yo, isn't that Figarland Lynn? I heard he spent a hundred billion Beli researching technology?"
"You never come here normally. What, did you run out of money and come to borrow some?"
As soon as the various Celestial Dragons saw the doors open and noticed Lynn, several of them blurted out their remarks and burst into laughter.
The others more or less wore disdainful expressions.
No matter which family they belonged to, they all acted this way because they knew Lynn had been completely impoverished. Not only had his savings been taken away, but his Heavenly Tribute quota had also been revoked.
Before this, even if they disliked Lynn as an oddball, they would not have dared treat him this way simply because his status was low.
Now, he was merely half a Celestial Dragon with a title to his name.
Lynn did not speak. His sharp gaze swept through the crowd, and he quickly found members of the Roswald Family.
But at that moment, a Celestial Dragon with dark green hair hurried over and grabbed Lynn.
"Saint Mjosgard?"
Lynn looked at the person who had grabbed him in confusion.
This man was a member of the Donquixote Family. Lynn had become friends with him because he knew this was the Celestial Dragon who had once fallen onto Fish-Man Island, been moved by Otohime, and turned over a new leaf.
"Brother, don't act rashly. Every Celestial Dragon here is close to the Roswald Family. You'll suffer in silence!"
Saint Mjosgard whispered to Lynn. He had heard early on that Lynn had returned and immediately rushed over to wait for him.
Sure enough, knowing Lynn's temperament and his habit of never leaving revenge until the next day, he had indeed found him here.
"Hahahaha! Lynn, how is it? Have you run out of money to spend?"
At that moment, the snot-nosed Saint Charlos finally made his entrance. He stepped out and laughed loudly, looking thoroughly pleased with himself.
Lynn's gaze immediately settled on Charlos. He pried Saint Mjosgard's hand away and strode toward him with a dark expression!
Droplet followed behind him, maintaining the exact same distance.
