Voices had begun to emerge throughout the world, bestowing a new title upon Lin Xuan: "Emperor Xuan!"
From then on, he was mentioned alongside the Four Emperors as the 'Four Emperors and One Emperor'!
This notion had already gained considerable acceptance.
After all, he had never previously declared himself a pirate. Otherwise, many in the world would readily acknowledge him as the Pirate King right now.
It seemed even Roger, the former Pirate King, had been following Lin Xuan's commands!
Regarding this, Lin Xuan was actually quite pleased.
Titles were superficial. For all he knew, this might even be a scheme by the World Government, attempting to turn the Four Emperors into his enemies. However, the growth in his声望值 (Prestige Value) was tangible and real, and he found himself quite fond of it!
Naturally, Lin Xuan had little time to concern himself with the outside world's discussions.
Because he had learned another piece of news: The World Government was going to hold the Reverie a month ahead of schedule.
"The Reverie is being moved up?"
Lin Xuan fell into thought over this, a smirk soon curling his lips. "It seems the World Government is gathering forces from across the globe for something? Like uniting the world's power to deal with me?"
His gaze fell upon the sealed shell containing Ōtsutsuki Kashin in his hand, and an idea struck him. If I release this guy during the World Government's Reverie, it should be quite interesting!
At that thought, he suddenly felt less urgency about heading to Mary Geoise immediately.
However, upon second thought, if the World Government was gathering the entire world's power against him, it made no sense to just sit back and wait to be hit.
While he wasn't afraid—and was even somewhat looking forward to using them to farm Prestige Value—letting this entire month go by without doing anything seemed far too wasteful!
A glance at his account showed his Prestige Value had already reached a staggering 3 billion.
Yet, considering the danger level of the Dragon Ball world, Lin Xuan felt that 3 billion Prestige Value wasn't a safe enough guarantee.
Although he planned to visit only the early Dragon Ball world, specifically the martial arts-focused Earth, which shouldn't be too dangerous...
After the unexpected appearance of that unfamiliar group of Ōtsutsuki clan members in the Naruto world, Lin Xuan couldn't be sure his arrival wouldn't cause some unpredictable butterfly effect in the Dragon Ball world.
What if later-stage, overpowered beings like Super Saiyans suddenly showed up? 3 billion Prestige Value wouldn't be enough to handle that!
With that in mind, Lin Xuan immediately made a decision: I must find a way to quickly earn more Prestige Value before going!
But what exactly should he do?
Looking over the intelligence report just delivered by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Lin Xuan thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up.
A peculiar smile appeared on his face. "The World Government is holding a Reverie? Then I'll launch one too! After all, a 'World Conference' isn't something only the World Government can organize. As long as people are willing to come, we can hold a World Conference on Sabaody Archipelago too!"
As for those unwilling to come...
Lin Xuan wasn't worried. He was just playing around anyway. If necessary, he could always pay a visit to their home countries and see if they dare refuse!
The thought of the bewildered expressions on the faces of the World Government officials when they learned the Ninja Association was also holding a World Conference excited him.
Of course, organizing such a grand event involved too many tasks. Lin Xuan certainly wouldn't handle them himself. Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others still weren't familiar enough with this world, so they weren't suitable either.
After some thought, Lin Xuan came up with a suitable candidate: "It's about time the Revolutionary Army did some work!"
So, he summoned Minato Namikaze in the chat group: "@Minato Namikaze, please contact the Revolutionary Army. I wish to speak with their leader, Mr. Dragon."
Minato Namikaze, who was currently traveling somewhere in the pirate world, replied immediately upon receiving the message: "Received!"
Shortly after, Monkey D. Dragon received the communication and got in touch with Lin Xuan.
The first words from Lin Xuan startled him: "Mr. Dragon, I plan to host a World Conference. I'd like to cooperate with your Revolutionary Army on this matter. Are you interested?"
"What?!"
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Monkey D. Dragon wondered if he had misheard, his face blank with confusion.
Seeing the Den Den Mushi perfectly replicate the other party's stunned expression, an amused smile couldn't help but appear on Lin Xuan's face.
Just imagine how shocked the World Government would be upon hearing this news.
Clearly, even Monkey D. Dragon was startled by his idea. This news alone would likely earn him a considerable amount of Prestige Value!
So, Lin Xuan said directly to Monkey D. Dragon, "You heard correctly. I am going to host a World Conference, on the very same day as the World Government's Reverie! Tell you what, if you can help me accomplish this, I will lend Marineford to you to serve as the Revolutionary Army's new headquarters. What do you think?"
These words left Monkey D. Dragon utterly speechless. He could only let out a loud gulp, swallowing hard, expressing the shock raging in his heart!
What place was Marineford? It was the former Navy Headquarters! For the Revolutionary Army, who had always been operating from the shadows, being able to establish their headquarters at Marineford held immense, monumental significance!
It would absolutely represent a new milestone!
Furthermore, it symbolized the Revolutionary Army stepping out of the shadows and truly appearing before the world!
In the past, even with such an opportunity, Monkey D. Dragon wouldn't have dared to do it.
But now, with the Ninja Association as their backer, he saw no problem with it at all!
Monkey D. Dragon grew more and more excited the more he thought about it.
Then, he clenched his teeth decisively. "No problem, President Lin. The Revolutionary Army will definitely handle the preparations for this World Conference for you!"
In fact, he had now realized that successfully organizing this World Conference wouldn't just be about the Ninja Association slapping the World Government in the face. It also held immense significance for the Revolutionary Army itself!
At the very least, they could use this opportunity to rally a group of forces to oppose the World Government!
Hearing his agreement, Lin Xuan said with satisfaction, "Good. Then make the arrangements. Also, spread this news throughout the entire world as soon as possible!"
"No problem!" Monkey D. Dragon agreed without hesitation.
And so, that very afternoon, with the release of the latest edition of the newspaper, two shocking pieces of news spread across the world, immediately causing the entire globe to tremble!
