Chapter 113: New Challenge—

Mariejois, in the office of Four Elders.

After Nami defeated Shanks, the four Elders looked at each other.

"That, shall we withdraw the reward for Rifan for the time being?" After a little hesitation, the long beard elder said embarrassedly.

"You guys have also seen that Rifan has a strong teaching ability."

"After revoking the wanted order for Rifan, we can also let Marines and our people go to Rifan to study."

Aside, Curly Hair Elder nodded, but quickly shook his head again.

His face was tangled, and it was obvious that Nami's performance bothered him.

"The reward order has been issued. Even though many people are now attracted by the golden list, there will definitely be many people who will see the reward."

"If we withdraw the reward for Rifan at this time, the world government will become a joke in the eyes of the world."

Curly Beard knocked on the desk with a fist, anger in his suppressed voice.

"That's right, if we cancel the reward now, the negative impact will be too great." The blond elder shook his head, "If the deterrent effect is not achieved, the deterrence of us Elders will also be reduced."

"As for being unable to be a disciple of Rifan, it is indeed a pity."

"If Rifan can nurture combat power for the world government, it will undoubtedly be of great help to us."

"However, although Nami can achieve such an achievement, I think it's just a special case."

"Maybe if it goes to another person, he/she may not be able to achieve such results."

"At least, when she/he was fighting Shanks just now, she/he might not have had an epiphany when it changed individuals."

"Of course, despite that, we should still send someone to Rifan."

"At the time when Rifan is wanted, it is not convenient to send people from the Marine and World Government around the world.

But as long as we send the hidden cp agent to go.

"We will let them come back when they learn something."

Hearing the blonde elder words, curly hair elder nodded in agreement.

"Reconsideration! However, I don't think we need to be too eager to let those who have already learned something come back."

"This will arouse Rifan's vigilance. We should wait for enough people to learn something and even have the power to defeat Rifan before letting them come back."

"Hehe, when Rifan is defeated by the disciple he taught him, his expression will be wonderful."

Hearing that, the other three elders all agreed.

"In addition, that Marine named Gion had contact with Rifan."

"She seems to be still sailing towards the Drum Kingdom. If Rifan is still willing to accept her as a disciple.

"We can make her pretend to defect from the Marine, and let her return when she is available."

curly beard elder paused, then said:

"On the bright side, people from the Marine and World Government cannot be made disciples of Rifan." "But as long as it's secretly, it doesn't matter."

At this moment, Gion didn't know that Four Elders was already planning her 'temporary' defection from the Marine.

But if she knows, Gion will still agree to execute the order.

After all, in her career as a Marine, she has had many experiences of pretending to be a female sailor to lure pirates.

Although Rifan is not a pirate, it does not prevent her from using the same method to deal with Rifan.

After continuing to discuss for a while, Mariejois sent more people out to sea to find Rifan's Dojo.

If you let Rifan know what the Four Elders did, he would only mock them.

Not to mention whether they can find Rifan's Dojo, even if they can, can they deceive Rifan's eyes?

Under Rifan's pupil technique, any deception will be invisible.

"Why does this happen?" At the Naval Headquarters, Sengoku sighed deeply.

It is no longer known how many times he sighed.

"Well, Sengoku, I know the regret in your heart."

"But it is certain that Rifan is wanted. Let's think about how to deal with Rifan."

Tsuru frowned and looked at Sengoku, and heard Sengoku sigh many times, even Tsuru was a little impatient.

"Tsuru, we missed an excellent Instructor." Sengoku's eyes are full of regrets, "With the intelligence of Marines and the world government, we will definitely be able to find Rifan's Dojo faster than others. Then we can let him cultivate talents from our side."

"At the same time, we can get along with Rifan.

"But now it's all ruined, because of the death of one of the Elders, Rifan has been offered a reward."

"It has become impossible for Rifan and Marines to get along."

"In addition to facing Rifan, we also have to face Nami who has defeated Shanks."

"There is also Vivi. Although she is the princess of the world government franchise country, if the Marine really attacks Rifan, no one can say whether she will help Rifan."

"The magical Water Style ninjutsu, the weird Sharingan, if she can control the sea, she is the nemesis of all Devil Fruit users."

With that said, Sengoku looked at the three Admiral beside him.

The three Admiral are all devil fruit users, even if they are not easily trapped by the sea.

But with Sharingan, Vivi will still cause some trouble for the Admiral. If there are other disciples of Rifan at this time, maybe the Admiral will encounter a huge crisis.

Thinking that Rifan might have other disciples, such as Nico Robin, Sengoku sighed again.

….

"Shanks lose. It also means that he can't use the resurrection item to resurrect Ace's mother."

At the Whitebeard Pirates Mobby Dick, Vista frowned.

"My resurrection item is random, and I cannot appoint Ace's mother to resurrect."

At this moment, Vista was in a state of incomparable entanglement.

He ranks lower than Nami, so it is reasonable to challenge Nami to compete for the designated resurrection items.

Only seeing Nami's sword skill just now, he really didn't have the confidence to defeat Nami.

"Vista, you don't need to do this." As if seeing the hesitation of Vista, Ace smiled and patted Vista on the shoulder. "Nami can beat Red Hair, only a character like Dad can beat her. You should save the resurrection items in your hands."

"…Maybe, we can still rely on the item you have on hand to bring back our lost partners."

Whitebeard nodded in agreement, and said, "Vista, you can continue to keep yourself in good shape."

"You are tenth, and the person most likely to be impacted by the rankings is you.

"As for that girl Nami, let others challenge her."

As Ace's father, Whitebeard naturally wants to help him resurrect his mother.

But he also knew that a person of Nami's level could no longer be defeated by just a swordsman.

Maybe people like Rayleigh and Shanks still have a chance to play better, but other people simply don't have this possibility.

"Unfortunately, I can't challenge her myself."

Whitebeard shook his head and sighed.

At the same time, Rayleigh, who was exuding sweat after a warm-up pulled the saber that was inserted on the earth into its scabbard.

A hot breath exhales from his mouth, and the invisible Conqueror's Haki begins to surround him.

"Are you ready to go, Rayleigh!?"

Shakky, the proprietress of the bar, walked to Rayleigh and looked at Rayleigh with concern.

"Shanks has already lost, how likely do you think you can beat Nami?"

"The den-den mushi call from Shanks just now made it very clear. Before Roger left, he didn't want you to challenge Nami."

"Although Shanks is not dead, with Nami's attitude of disgust towards pirates, fighting against her might really kill you."

"After all, you started this era of great pirates."

Hearing Shakky's words, Rayleigh's mouth curled up and smiled confidently.

"Although Roger doesn't want me to challenge Nami, it's just his idea, but it doesn't mean I need to do what he says."

"Also, if I don't fight for it, I will definitely regret it in the future."

"And as a swordsman, I won't allow myself to retreat at this time."

"Shakky, you don't have to persuade me, I'll be back when I go."

After speaking, Rayleigh raised his head to look at the gold list in the sky.

—[Swordsman List]5th place - Dark King Rayleigh, challenge[Swordsman List] 3rd place, Nami.

"Really, they are all retired old people, and they are so passionate." Seeing Rayleigh who disappeared suddenly, Shakky shook her head.

"This guy, maybe it's because he got his lifespan and made his mentality younger. He just doesn't want to admit defeat."
