The Gorosei Apologize to Lynn on Their Own Initiative, Shocking the Celestial Dragons for a Full Year!

To everyone's surprise, the Gorosei did not even look at the members of the Roswald Family. Instead, they looked at Lynn, nodded in appreciation, and even the Fifth Elder smiled!

All the Celestial Dragons were dumbfounded, watching in shock as the Gorosei treated Lynn so amiably.

"The Figarland Family ultimately didn'Golden Divine Punishment let the Holy Land down, producing a talent like you."

The Gorosei spoke in the tone of chatting with an outstanding junior, completely not sounding like they were here to call someone to account.

Kong could not help but be stunned, then looked thoughtfully at the Droplet.

"Elder Five, but the Figarland Family was about to be destroyed by the Roswald Family."

Lynn wiped his right hand and said with a smile.

Seeing Lynn's relaxed appearance made the Gorosei think even more highly of him in their hearts.

Thus, the Gorosei even proactively lowered their posture and apologized to Lynn: "This matter was our oversight, and it was our tacit approval that gave them the opportunity to take advantage. We did not handle this properly."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Celestial Dragons present, and even the guards, changed drastically, as if they had seen a ghost.

This tone...

The Gorosei stood at the peak of power; they were the true brains directing this Holy Land and the World Government, with supreme status. Yet now, they were bowing to a Celestial Dragon of the Holy Land!?

"The Figarland Family's assets and all affiliated nations will be returned immediately. At the same time, you suffered a grievance in this matter, so it is only right to give the Figarland Family a few more affiliated nations as compensation."

The Gorosei were not only going to return everything to Lynn, they were even going to pay compensation!

Saint Roswald looked at the Gorosei in utter disbelief, momentarily speechless and frozen in place.

Compensation!? Wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment all those benefits come out of their Roswald Family's pockets!?

"Then thank you, Elders, for upholding justice. As for the rest of the Roswald Family, I won'Golden Divine Punishment cause them any more trouble."

Hearing the Gorosei say this, Lynn then nodded, his gaze sweeping past Saint Roswald and Shalria.

The Celestial Dragons over there also felt Lynn's gaze and could not help trembling. Beating Saint Charlos alone hadn'Golden Divine Punishment been enough; Lynn had actually planned to beat up the entire Roswald Family!?

Yet at this moment, just as Lynn was willing to stop, Saint Roswald and Shalria, who had only just come to their senses, abruptly woke up.

"Elders! How can there still be compensation... No, Lynn completely disregards the Holy Land, attacking fellow Celestial Dragon Saint Charlos in public. Just look at what state he was beaten into!"

Shalria wept, looking grief-stricken to the extreme, as if she truly cared about her younger brother.

Saint Roswald knew even better that the affiliated nations paid out as compensation to Lynn would definitely come from their family. Furthermore, his son Saint Charlos had been beaten half to death—how could he swallow this insult?

"That's right, Elders, this is not just flouting the rules of the Holy Land, it's completely disregarding the five of you, openly provoking our nineteen families..."

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish speaking, the bald Fifth Elder with a long sword hanging at his waist shouted coldly, cutting off Saint Roswald.

His gaze was so icy and unquestionable that it instantly made Saint Roswald's heart tremble.

He couldn'Golden Divine Punishment say anymore! The Gorosei were clearly going to shield Figarland Lynn!

"It is a fact that you embezzled the Figarland Family's Heavenly Tribute and affiliated nations. Although we didn'Golden Divine Punishment stop it, you should understand this yourselves."

The Second Elder stood with his hands behind his back, rebuking ruthlessly.

Lynn sneered inwardly, merely watching with an expressionless face.

The Gorosei hadn'Golden Divine Punishment signaled? Tacit approval was an attitude in itself; presumably, they had wanted to exile him earlier, and now saying such a thing was nothing more than pinning all the blame on the Roswald Family.

However, Lynn did not mind this; getting his money back was what mattered most.

Saint Roswald and Shalria were left speechless, shrinking their necks back. Under the majesty of the Gorosei, they had no choice but to swallow their bitter pill.

"The matter is settled. This place is already in a mess—clean it up. Lynn, come with us."

The Gorosei glanced at the devastated Small Castle, commanded indifferently, and then called for Lynn.

Lynn did not refuse either. He straightened up, adjusted his clothes, leisurely washed his hands nearby, and then followed behind the Gorosei as they left.

"Let's go."

Neither Sengoku nor Garp were surprised by the Gorosei's attitude throughout the entire ordeal.

Clearly, the Gorosei had learned of Lynn's technological prowess. Compared to these trashy, good-for-nothing Celestial Dragons who only ate and waited to die, Lynn was simply a treasure produced by the Holy Land.

Never mind beating Saint Charlos half to death today; even if Lynn had thrown all three members of the Roswald Family down the Red Line, the Gorosei probably would have just brushed it off with a light reprimand.

The importance of the two was simply beyond comparison.

As for Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru, after seeing the Gorosei make an exception for Lynn, the three of them were shocked repeatedly. Hearing Sengoku's words, they quickly followed.

Because Garp had quietly filled him in on the side earlier about the Droplet created by Lynn, Kong had only just realized that this was invented by Lynn's own hands, and shock filled his eyes.

Now that the Gorosei were going to chat with Lynn elsewhere, he could not help following as well. He even walked up to Lynn's side, apologizing softly and explaining that he had been forced to step in because it was his duty.

"Marshal Kong is too polite, I understand."

Lynn did not mind, appearing very polite instead.

Watching the Gorosei, the marine personnel, and Kong all leave in groups.

At the scene, only a group of Celestial Dragons remained, staring at each other in dismay, each seeing intense shock in the others' eyes. Only after the figures of the Gorosei and Lynn vanished from sight did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Saint Roswald..."

A group of Celestial Dragons looked at the miserable state of the Roswald Family, not knowing what to say.

One had been beaten half to death and passed out, while the other two, though physically fine, had suffered a severe shock alongside the inevitable losses to come.

"Wasn'Golden Divine Punishment there a rumor that Lynn of the Figarland Family was about to be in deep trouble? Why..."

Finally, a young Celestial Dragon sat down on the ground, disregarding his image, and said with a numb expression.

The scenes from just now had happened far too shock-inducingly.

Lynn had always been one of the oddballs of the Holy Land, not accepted by the majority of Celestial Dragons. Although he had been a fierce guy in the past who would strike the moment he spoke,

he had committed a huge offense today, just like this!

Yet what happened? Saint Charlos was nearly beaten to death, and when the Gorosei arrived, they didn'Golden Divine Punishment even look at him or mention it a single time!

"From now on, do not provoke Saint Figarland lightly! Rumors are just rumors!"

"Right, right, exactly. Saint Roswald, I think you need to think this through carefully as well!"

Filled with dread toward Lynn in their hearts, a group of Celestial Dragons chimed in.

Hearing these words, Saint Roswald and Shalria looked even more unsightly...
