Chapter 211 Entering the Holy Land
The battle in the Sky Arena has come to a decisive moment.
Douglas Barrett continued his undefeated youth legend by defeating the long-established mythical beast warrior, Katarina Depen!
At the age of 13~!
Unlike Enel, who is also famous in the ranking competition next door, the competition area where Barrett is located is a life-and-death game. It is a life-and-death battle in which one of the two opponents must fight to the death. It can show the true strength better than a simple ranking competition!
but--
As heroic young legends, Barrett and Enel are known as the "strongest twin stars of the era"!
Become the strongest talent to emerge in this Sky Arena.

At the same time, Rex is still at the top of the Red Earth Continent, performing his duties as the Executive Prime Minister of the World Government for the first time.
At the World Government and All-Army Supreme Conference—
Lex sat quietly in the main seat, listening to the report of the government officials.
"Lex Saint, the above is the information of some powerful people in the opposition selected by government staff. These people all meet your requirements for the candidates of the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'."
The current chief of CP, Jing, bowed respectfully to Lex and reported.
Lex nodded slightly, motioned for Jing to sit down, and then looked at the elderly man at the first seat on the left:
"General Fate, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, you are highly respected and knowledgeable. I wonder if you have any unique opinions on the selection of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
Fate narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he heard Lex asking him a question, he slightly opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Lex:
"Prime Minister, I am old and my abilities are not as good as before. I also don't know as much about the sea as you do. It is better for you to personally select and appoint the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."
After saying these words, Fate closed his eyes again and sat quietly to rest his mind.
Lex smiled lightly and didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, Lex could guess Fate's inner thoughts clearly even without deliberately reading his mind.
The navy, army and others, including Fate, are extremely opposed to the Seven Warlords' plan!
What are the Seven Warlords of the Sea? !
To put it nicely, the government "recruited" several powerful opposition figures to suppress the unrest in the sea and ensure government stability.
And in fact?
The Seven Warlords of the Sea are a group of bandits who have been granted the "legal power to plunder" by the government!
They are actually a group of brutal and dark pirates!
The Seven Warlords of the Sea plan is purely aiding and abetting evil!
But Fate had no way to stop it, nor did he have the ability to stop it...
Lex proposed it and the Five Elders agreed to it, so what can I do about it?
Perhaps decades ago, Fate would have been outraged and passionately opposed the actions of the Five Elders and Lex, upholding justice and peace.
But... Fate is old...
The once passionate and righteous heart, full of passion, has long since faded away with the government's internal intrigues, cliques, and darkness...
the most important is--
Leon Lex!
Whenever Fate saw this gentle blond young man, he always felt a sense of powerlessness deep in his heart.
Lex is too powerful, powerful in every sense of the word, whether it is strength, power, influence, or even political tactics, it is difficult for me to compete with him.
and--
Lex is young!
Fate was scared. He was very scared of this young man who always smiled and looked kind and gentle. He was too young. Youth meant infinite possibilities and a broader space for development.
However, there was one thing that Fate could not figure out from beginning to end.
He closed his eyes slightly and listened quietly to Lex's voice——
"Everyone, there is no need to rush the matter of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Today, Qinghai is at peace, the four seas are thriving, the Grand Line is full of vitality, the New World is in good order, and the government's authority is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, even if the Seven Warlords of the Sea are selected, their role will not be as great as imagined. We still have to choose the best from the best. In addition, as the executive prime minister, I deeply feel..."
Fate listened to these words, but he was always thinking about another question in his heart -
Is that why Lex is so powerful? ~
He is only 21 years old!
It was clear that he had only been at sea for a year, and it was clear that Fate had never even heard of this person in the past.
But in fact, Lex's strength has always puzzled Fate.
Fate has gone through several eras and has seen many super monsters, such as Charlotte Linlin, Edward Newgate, Rocks D. Gibber, Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Garp...
However, the talents and strengths of these people are completely different from Lex's.
Lex's power seemed... even more unfathomable, as if... there was no limit...
Although in terms of strength, Lex and the top kings of the New World are similar in strength, there is no cliff-like gap or lead.
However, Fate always felt that Lex's strength was transcendent and unrivaled, surpassing Qinghai!
The highest meeting of the entire army continued in an orderly manner under the chairmanship of Lex, but everyone's minds drifted somewhere unknown. Everyone had their own unique ideas, and Fate was just one of them.

Pentleras, inside a secret room.
Roy and Gut seemed to be discussing something in the deep shadows.
"Young Master, do you mean to kill them all?"
"Ah."
Roy frowned, paused, and said hesitantly:
"Captain Gutt, Lex also said that those who attempted to bomb the Expo had it to themselves. Apart from the Waldo Pirates, don't hold the Celestial Dragon families responsible."
Hearing this, Gut couldn't help but frown:
"Young Master, could it be that...?"
Roy nodded slightly:
"Lex may really have entered the Holy Land..."
With Roy and Gut's intelligence, they were able to roughly guess the truth of the matter based on just a few words from Lex.
Roy and Gut are well aware that Lex is an extreme utilitarian.
There is nothing to be embarrassed about, just admit it openly -
Lex is an ambitious and egoistic person who only cares about interests. Everything he does is to serve his personal ambitions and aspirations.
"Based on the young master's character, he would not take this opportunity to extort a large sum of money from the Tianlong family involved in this matter, but instead 'generously' let it go. This is the only possibility."
Gut followed up with his analysis, and Roy suddenly laughed out loud:
"Hahaha, it's even more interesting now that Lex has taken over Maryjoa!~"
"Hahaha!~"
"Hahahaha~, what are you two laughing at?"
The door of the secret room opened, and the Golden Lion walked towards the two of them, followed by the Red Earl.
"Admiral, Mr. Ryder."
"Mr. Ski, Mr. Ryder."
Seeing this, Gutt and Roy immediately greeted the Red Earl of the Golden Lion.
Red Earl: “Yeah.”
"Well, Gutt, take care of all those chores."
"Reporting to the Admiral, according to the Young Master's wishes, kill them all and the matter ends here. In addition, according to my and Captain Roy's speculation,... the Young Master may have entered the Holy Land."
! ! ~
"Huh?!~ This kid..."
The Golden Lion was slightly surprised, but did not seem very surprised. No matter what Lex did, the Golden Lion probably would not be that surprised.
The Red Earl was even more indifferent, as if these things had nothing to do with him.
