Chapter 521 Lex Arrives at Pentales

Lex arrives in the New World during Oleney and Barrett's voyage to Reverse Mountain Twin Shoals.

New World·Pentales Kingdom——

Despite his busy schedule, Roy accompanied Lex to this fervent war-torn nation, where Colonel Camus, along with his ministers and veterans, lined the main street of the capital to welcome them.

Behind Lex and Roy were the newly joined brothers Cross Reiner and Cross Reiner, the Dark Emperor of the Underworld Piecrow, and Donquixote Doflamingo, who now holds a high position as one of the Swords of Lion.

Colonel Camus, King of Pentles, approached and looked upon Lex as if he were God. Some of the ministers and veterans behind Camus were so overjoyed they fainted. Camus, overcome with emotion, asked, "..."

"How have you been lately?"

Lex patted Camus on the broad shoulder and smiled faintly: "I'm fine. I came to the New World this time and since I had nothing to do, I came to Pentales first to see how everyone is doing."

Upon hearing this, a broadcast simultaneously resounded throughout the entire territory of Pentales: "Lord Lex has come to visit us!!"

Lex's visit will definitely be broadcast live nationwide.

In an instant, the vast Pentales Islands were filled with weeping. Many battle-hardened veterans, supported by their children and grandchildren, recounted Lord Lex's great deeds and the immense help he had given to Pentales during the darkest of times.

In the Kingdom of Pentales, the name Leon Lex is everything, both a decade ago and now.

During the massive war of 1498, Lex's forces were mostly concentrated on fighting the World Government, leaving only the Pentles and a few pirate crews to suppress the New World, including powerful nations like Elbaf and Wano Country. All of these were blocked at their doorsteps by the reckless Pentles Kingdom.

According to eyewitnesses, the Titans of Wano Country only wanted to go out of Elbaf to buy food, since the Titans' food consumption was extremely terrifying. However, as soon as a merchant ship set sail, it was blocked in Elbaf by the entire Kingdom of Pentles with suicide bombing and attacks.

The giants didn't get their first full meal until the war was completely over and Lex returned to the New World in triumph.

Roy teased Camus:

"Lex didn't even go to my own Dandis Empire, he came to see you first, Camus~"

Camus blushed slightly, gazing at Lex with tender affection. The legendary colonel, who had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, now acted like a shy young girl. Camus hummed in agreement:

"Lord Roy spends all his time with Lord Lex, surely he doesn't have to compete with us for even this little bit of time."

"Hey, hey, hey, that's wrong. I work every day, while Lex is on vacation every day."

"Hahaha! Alright, let's go to the palace first, then catch up slowly."

Lex interrupted Roy's slander and immediately strode forward, with the others following closely behind.

On both sides of the avenue, crowds of citizens surged forward, trying their best to control their emotions and not rush forward, but waving their arms vigorously and shouting Lex's name at the top of their lungs.

Lex raised his hand and occasionally approached the crowd. Even after more than a decade, he could still call out the names of some veterans, which amazed everyone. It also brought tears to the eyes of the citizens and veterans of Penteles. They cried their hearts out, and many veterans collapsed into Lex's arms.

This scene amazed the Cross brothers behind Lex. Rein, being more outgoing, asked Doflamingo, "Brother Doflamingo, have people always been like this here?"

Doflamingo, being an old Leon, naturally knew far more than the two greenhorns before him. He immediately replied, "Mr. Lex traveled to Qinghai before setting sail. About seventeen or eighteen years ago, Mr. Lex saved this country and all its poor people. Now, more than a decade later, Pentrace is not only a world power that hosted the World Expo, but also a representative kingdom with great influence under Lord Lex. It is a true first-class world power."

Ryan and Reiner exchanged a glance, gaining a deeper understanding of Mr. Lex.

In most people's eyes, Leon Lex is the greatest man in eight hundred years, who personally ushered in the Great Rise of the World, restored the world's order, and made the three seas independent. But at this moment, Renn and Reiner have a better understanding of the path Lex came from.

After quite some time, Lex and his group finally arrived at the palace with great difficulty. However, Lex was still surrounded by many ministers of Pentles, who hugged him and cried incessantly, not knowing what they were crying about. In short, they just kept crying.

On the topic of loyalty.

Ryan couldn't help but complain to Reiner beside him:

"Mr. Lex has a really good temper."

Reiner shook his head and said seriously, "If it were Mary Geoise, this scene would never have happened. It's not just that Mr. Lex has a good temper, but also that Mr. Lex genuinely cares about everyone and everything about everyone. He is a truly loving person."

Roy nodded in agreement: "Leinard is right, but it can't really be called universal love, it's just more humane."

Roy's words were incomprehensible to Reiner and Reiner, but Doflamingo and Piekro understood them instantly.

Yes, among the top figures in high positions, ruthlessness is a basic quality. From dark emperors like Piecrow to Im among the flowers, the greater the figure, the more ruthless they are.

This is because one cannot become a great person without being ruthless.

To gain something, you must lose something.

After a while, Lex finally sat down with Camus and the others inside the palace to enjoy a rare communal meal.

For many of the veteran officials at the dinner table, the meal was far too salty. Not only did the cook add salt to the rice, but they themselves kept adding salt as well.

Lex, who never bothered with formalities, asked Camus directly while chewing on something:

"Camus, when you blocked Elbaf, were the Titans' will to resist strong?"

Camus recalled for a moment before answering: "The giants did not resist, and they only went out to buy food, but... there seemed to be a rumor in Elbaf at the time that you were not the sun god, so the giant warriors would not help you, even though you were attacking Mary Geoise at the time."

Doflamingo now holds a very high position in Lex Luthor's camp, so he interjected, "What an extremely foolish bunch. Just kill them all or make them all slaves."

Lex shook his head slightly: "It's alright, let them be ignorant. I'm just curious if Nika will be there."

Roy said at the opportune moment, "I have planted a lot of spies in Elbaf, so I will know immediately if there is any movement in Nika."

"Yes, that's enough. We've done our best, and as for fate, it's not something that can't be changed."

Lex said casually.

The Cross brothers looked on with adoration; at that moment, Mr. Lex's charm was on full display.

'As for destiny, it is not unchangeable.'

That's why when Mr. Lex said those words, everyone took it for granted, and in their eyes, Mr. Lex was destiny itself.

If a man like that isn't destined for greatness, then it must be a matter of fate; fate must be blind.
