Chapter 293 west Yan's Surprise: Am I Really That Valuable?
"Finally, I'm back in this place."
west Yan, who had just emerged from the water, stared at the huge mangrove tree in the distance marked with the number 41 with a complicated expression.
Then, west Yan activated his transformation technique, turning himself into someone else's appearance, and slowly swam across the seawater.
A moment later, west Yan arrived at the shore of Tree 41 and successfully landed on the island.
"Um?"
An old man carrying fishing gear paused for a moment when he saw west Yan, then smiled and said, "Young man, are you going for a swim?"
"Haha, yes, I swam a lap," west Yan laughed.
Upon hearing this, the old man looked up at the sky and then said, "It would be nice to go for a swim in this weather."
After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked away, seemingly planning to change into a swimsuit and come back for a swim.
"What a strange old man," west Yan muttered.
After watching the other person leave, west Yan turned around and walked towards Xia Qi's No. 13 mangrove tree.
However, west Yan stopped when he passed by the No. 30 commercial district.
"Hmm... I'm here now, I should buy them some gifts to take back," west Yan muttered.
After glancing at the shops in the distance, west Yan strode over.
Just then, west Yan overheard a conversation between several bounty hunters.
"Hey, have you heard?" a bald man said. "Someone has put a bounty on the Blood-Eyed Ninja."
"A blood-eyed ninja?"
The man with the pointed chin looked surprised and said, "Is that the blood-eyed ninja who caused a ruckus at Marine Headquarters with the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"Yes, that's him," the bald man nodded.
"How much is the bounty?"
"Five hundred million!"
"Five hundred million?" the cone-shaped man said in disbelief. "Just information about the Blood-Eyed Ninja can fetch that much money?"
No, is that guy really that valuable?
"That's right, it's worth that much!"
"Let's go, let's go find news about that guy!" the cone-shaped man exclaimed excitedly. "If we can find him, we'll be rich!"
That's five hundred million!
Once they get that much money... they can go back and enjoy life!
Thinking of this, the cone-shaped man's eyes turned red.
"A 500 million Berry bounty on my information, huh?" west Yan muttered, stroking his chin as he watched the other person leave. "That's quite a generous offer."
It's just unclear whether it was the World Government that intervened.
After shaking his head, west Yan turned and walked towards the clothing store in front of him.
"Hiss~"
"Phew~"
Xia Qi, exhaling a smoke ring, rested her chin on her hand and said, "So many days have passed, why hasn't Xiao Xiyan come yet?"
Could it be that something unexpected happened along the way?
With that in mind, Xia Qi turned her attention to the Den Den Mushi next to her, wondering whether she should make a call and ask.
Just then, the door to Shaki's Tavern was pushed open, and a strange man walked in.
After glancing at the other person, Xia Qi gave a professional smile and said, "Welcome!"
"What would you like to order?"
Xia Qi, whose train of thought had been interrupted, decided to give this bastard a good beating.
As west Yan closed the door behind him, he noticed Xia Qi's gaze and his lips twitched. "Sister Xia Qi, your eyes look a little scary..."
Xia Qi: ? ? ?
This man called her... Sister Xia Qi?
But she didn't know the other person either.
Thinking of this, Xia Qi's smile faded, and she frowned, asking, "Who are you?"
"It's me, Sister Xia Qi," west Yan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, west Yan deactivated the transformation spell and returned to his original form.
Xia Qi: !!!
"You are... Xiao Xiyan?!" Xia Qi looked at Xiyan in disbelief and said, "You can actually transform into someone else?"
Is this also ninjutsu?!
When did west Yan learn the ninjutsu that allows him to transform into other people?
"I can not only transform into other people, but also into objects," west Yan said with a chuckle.
As they were talking, west Yan used his transformation magic to turn into a stool, demonstrating the magic's wonders to Xia Qi before reverting to his original form.
This scene completely stunned Xia Qi.
After a moment, she said, "You really are unpredictable."
The abilities she's already displayed are already incredibly powerful, and now she can use transformation magic to become other people...
Is there anything this kid can't do?
west Yan simply smiled and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Xia Qi shook her head, turned around and poured Xi Yan a glass of fruit wine, and then said, "With this ability, you really can sneak in silently."
After all... no one could have imagined that west Yan possessed the ability to transform, right?
"That's what I think too."
After saying that, west Yan picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and then said, "By the way, Sister Xia Qi, are there many people trying to find out about me right now?"
"Oh?"
"Why would you ask that?" Xia Qi raised an eyebrow and said, "Have you heard something?"
"Yes."
west Yan nodded and said, "When I arrived, I overheard a conversation among some bounty hunters. They said my information is worth 500 million Berries!"
Five hundred million Berries... It's making him a little tempted.
If it weren't for the fact that he was going to Mary Geoise to cause trouble, he would have definitely ripped those guys off!
"Yes, that's true." Xia Qi nodded and said, "Quite a few people have already heard about it."
"So it's true?"
"Yes, it's true."
west Yan frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Do you know who issued the bounty?"
"The World Government, of course. Who else could it be?"
Those guys are very interested in Xiyan right now, so it's normal for them to issue such a bounty.
"It really was them..." west Yan muttered.
It seems these guys are genuinely very interested in me.
"The World Government hasn't just issued this one bounty," Shakky said, tapping her cigarette ash. "If someone can capture you, the World Government is willing to offer one billion Berries."
"Am I that valuable?"
"Yes, that's how valuable it is~"
After saying that, Xia Qi revealed a wicked smile and said, "How about I arrest you now, kid? That way we can make a killing!"
He spoke as if it were the truth.
"Um...

west Yan thought about it seriously for a moment, then said, "Sister Xia Qi, how about... we team up and trick them?"
Xia Qi was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then rolled her eyes and said, "I was just joking, why did you take it seriously?"
"Do you really think the world government's money is so easy to take?"
And then they get scammed...: ...Don't end up losing both of them and getting the money instead.
As an information broker, Shakky was very clear about the nature of the World Government.
west Yan blinked upon hearing this, then stroked his chin and said, "That makes sense."
Xia Qi's identity is quite sensitive, making it completely unsuitable for her to go out and deal with the World Government.
As for sending someone else?
Don't be ridiculous. Without sufficient power, the World Government wouldn't let you take the money!
After all... that's 10 billion Berries!
"Alright, forget about it."
Xia Qi stubbed out her cigarette, glanced at west Yan, and said, "The World Government isn't so easy to approach."
After saying that, Shakky paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "However... if you have the ability to make a fortune in Mary Geoise, that's a different story."
Upon hearing this, west Yan's eyes immediately lit up.
Yup!
Those Celestial Dragons who enjoy the heavenly gold must have a great deal of gold and silver treasures!
Thinking about this, west Yan's mind started to wander.
"With my sealing techniques... I'm definitely going to make a killing!"
west Yan's eyes lit up more and more as he thought about it, and finally he slammed his hand on the table and said, "Let's do it!"
"Don't get too excited yet, the money there isn't so easy to get," Xia Qi said.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," west Yan said with a smile.
Seeing west Yan's confidence, Xia Qi stopped saying anything more.
"Oh, right, Xiaqi-jie," Xiyan said, pointing to the white Den Den Mushi on the table, "Could you please get me one or two more white Den Den Mushi?"
Xia Qi looked helpless upon hearing this and said, "This thing isn't so easy to make. I can only give it a try."
These are extremely rare white Den Den Mushi; not even one might emerge every year or two, so she couldn't say for sure that she could get her hands on one.
"Let's give it a try, and we'll see if it works," west Yan said.
"Okay, I'll take this job," Xia Qi nodded.
"I'll give you the money after I've been to Mary Geoise."
"There's no rush," Xia Qi said, shaking her head.
She knew west Yan's character well, so she wasn't afraid of being taken advantage of.
Then, Shakky said, "But... what do you need so many white Den Den Mushi for?"
"Of course it's for Hancock," west Yan laughed. "Otherwise, the two of us wouldn't be able to contact each other."
Using a regular Den Den Mushi carries a risk of being overheard by the Navy, so... you have to use a white Den Den Mushi!
That way, the two of them can have long phone conversations from time to time.
Thinking of this, west Yan smiled even more happily.
"Little Hancock?"
Seeing the smile on west Yan's face, Xia Qi asked in surprise, "Could it be that you've already...?"
"Ah, yes, Hancock is my woman now," west Yan laughed loudly.
Xia Qi paused for a moment after hearing this, then said with some emotion, "I didn't expect you to actually do it."
Has that icy beauty finally been warmed up by someone?
In that case... little Hancock can finally find happiness.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xia Qi's face.
Xi Yan looked at Xia Qi with some surprise and said, "Sister Xia Qi, from what you're saying... you've had this suspicion for a while now?"
"Yes," Xia Qi nodded and said, "I told Lao Lei about this after we found out you were on Amazon Lily."
"Now it seems... our thinking wasn't wrong."
west Yan has really managed to win over Hancock, the most beautiful woman in the world!
"As expected, ginger is still..."
"Um?"
"Ahem, as expected of Sister Xia Qi, her intuition is terrifyingly strong." west Yan coughed lightly.
That look in your eyes just now was a little scary.
Shakky rolled her eyes at Xi Yan upon hearing this, then lit another cigarette before saying, "Anyway... you'd better treat Hancock well from now on, okay?"
"That girl, she..."
"
Xia Qi paused here, pursing her lips, unsure whether to continue.
"Sister Xiaqi, I understand."
west Yan said softly, "So don't worry, I will treat her well."
Xia Qi paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled again and said, "Okay."
She was right about this kid!
"Hancock...you're really lucky, aren't you?" Shakky murmured to herself.
May you continue to be happy like this... You deserve this happiness!
Shakky's eyes were filled with a smile as she conjured up the image of Hancock in her mind.
Then Shakky said, "Speaking of which... your purpose in going to Mary Geoise wasn't to get revenge for Hancock, was it?"
She felt the probability was quite high.
After all... couples in the throes of new love are prone to acting impulsively!
"That is indeed one of the reasons," west Yan nodded.
His initial idea was indeed related to Hancock.
"One of the reasons..." Xia Qi muttered.
Even if it's just one of the reasons, it would still be enough to move Hancock to tears.
Then, Xia Qi asked, "What's the other reason?"
"To send a message to our comrades," west Yan said.
Afterwards, west Yan recounted the things he had discussed with Luffy and the others to Xia Qi, making her fully understand what she was supposed to do.
"Oh~"
"Oh, I see." Xia Qi said with a look of sudden realization, "No wonder you needed that birdman's contact information."
If they don't contact that birdman directly, the information Xiyan wants to release won't be able to get published in the newspaper!
After all... the world government will intervene!
Therefore, contacting Morgans directly is the best option.
"Only in this way can the plan be implemented perfectly, right?" west Yan grinned.
"Yes, that's true." Xia Qi nodded in agreement.
Morgans is a really daring guy!
It's fair to say that as long as he has enough sensational news, he'll dare to put it in the newspaper!
This is also why she agreed to the Xiyan plan.
Then, Xia Qi lowered her head and began rummaging through the drawer. She then took out a piece of paper with Morgans Den Den Mushi's number written on it and placed it on the table.
"promise."
"This is that guy's phone number?" Xi Yan raised an eyebrow. "Yes." Xia Qi nodded. "This is Morgans's Den Den Mushi number. Once you call, you can contact him directly!"
"Then let's contact him," west Yan said, picking up the Den Den Mushi from the table.
However, before west Yan could dial the number, Xia Qi pressed the button to stop him.
"Sister Xia Qi?"
"Before you dial, I need to know what you want to do," Shakky said. "This will help you refine your plan and also help you figure out how to persuade Morgans."
west Yan paused for a moment after hearing this, then nodded.
"good!"
