Chapter 79 You bastard Xiyan, are you going to kill me with ninjutsu?!
"Ah~"
"Another cloudless day~"
west Yan lay on the sun chair, looking very content.
After taking a sip of the special liquor beside him, west Yan let out a long sigh and said, "Sure enough, you need to have something to drink while sunbathing!"
"Hello!"
"west Yan, come play!"
"Huh?"
Taking off his sunglasses, west Yan glanced at the four guys playing on the swings in the distance, sat up, and said, "I'm not interested in these swings. You guys play."
After saying that, west Yan waved his hand, closed his eyes, and lay down again.
"Tch, west Yan really doesn't know how to enjoy life~"
"That's right, that's right."
"Never mind him, let's play."
"Merry, let's take off!"
"profound!!"
As Luffy pushed her into the air, Merry's face was filled with excitement, her little hands waving in the air as if she were searching for the feeling of flying.
Finally, Mei Li took flight and headed straight for west Yan.
"west Yan, catch me!!"
"Hello!"
Xi Yan opened his eyes and looked incredulously at Mei Li, who was getting closer and closer to him. He subconsciously got up and caught the little one.
"Hehe, it got caught, that's so much fun."
west Yan: ? ? ?
After setting Merry down, Xi Yan roared at Luffy with his shark mouth wide open, "Luffy, what kind of swings are you guys playing on?!"
"Who throws someone out like that!"
"This is so much fun!"
"That's right, that's right."
"west Yan, it's obvious you can't play the swing."
As he spoke, Luffy gave Xiyan a look of disgust, as if Xiyan were some kind of idiot.
west Yan: ...
Why do I suddenly feel like punching him? Damn it, I can't hold back anymore.
"Merry, let's keep playing!"
"Oh, here it comes."
"My turn! My turn!" Chopper exclaimed. "Xiyan, you have to catch me too!"
Seeing Chopper's eager expression, west Yan retorted, "Am I also part of your game?"
"I shouldn't have put the recliner here."
He had specifically chosen a place that wouldn't interfere with his crew's activities, but Luffy and his crew still chose it.
Just then, Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, walked out, glanced at the group of guys playing on the swings, and said, "Hey, you guys, if you like playing so much, why don't you scoop the octopus out of the pool?"
"Today I'm cooking you an octopus feast!"
"profound!"
"Takoyaki! Takoyaki!"
The group excitedly ran to the top of the tank, opened the iron lid, and stared down at the octopus in the water. They tried to grab it with their hands, but couldn't catch the agile little octopuses at all.
"It's no use, I can't catch it," Merry said, sounding a bit frustrated. "Usopp, do you have any tools or anything like that?"
"What tools do you need? Watch me!"
Luffy swung his arm to strike, but Usopp stopped him.
"You're a Devil Fruit user, touching seawater is just asking for trouble. Watch me instead." Usopp gave a thumbs up, flashing his gleaming white teeth, and declared, "Usopp's Treasure Chest, officially online!"
With that, Usopp ran back to the cabin, and when he returned, he had some tools with him.
The special flippers, underwater goggles, swimming caps, and other equipment stunned Luffy and his crew.
"Today I'll show you what a true underwater fishing master is!" Usopp laughed, wielding two shovels, and plunged headfirst into the water tank, beginning his chase of the small octopuses.
"What...is Usopp doing?"
Nami, who was in the restaurant, immediately noticed Usopp entering the water and was stunned by his equipment.
"Isn't it obvious? He's catching an octopus," Nico Robin laughed. "He's really something."
This guy always manages to come up with some really weird and wonderful gadgets, and I have to say, sometimes they're actually quite useful.
"Never mind him." Nami shook her head and turned to Nico Robin, saying, "Robin, do you remember what Granny Kokoro said before?"
"You mean the ghost ship?"
"Hmm, I have some concerns..."
Hundreds of ships disappear in that terrifying place every day, and it would be terrible if they encountered it.
"Being afraid won't help," Nico Robin said. "And... Nami, we're very strong."
"Even if that sea area is very special, it's not impossible for us to break through with our strength."
In Nico Robin's view, no sea can stop the Straw Hat Pirates.
"That being said, I'm afraid there might be some hidden agendas..."
Before Nami could finish speaking, she noticed that in the water tank to the side, Usopp was being held by a group of octopuses and was struggling violently in the water.
"Hey, Usopp!"
"Oh no, with so many octopuses holding him, he won't be able to get back to the surface," Nico Robin said.
As she spoke, she immediately stood up, intending to use her Devil Fruit ability to grab Usopp, but the seawater had too much of an effect on the Devil Fruit user.
With her current abilities, she simply cannot maintain her powers underwater for an extended period of time.
The arm made of flower petals appeared only briefly before disappearing, which made Nico Robin's expression turn somewhat grim.
"No, I can't get him up there."
Perhaps fearing that someone might actually rescue Usopp, the octopuses instinctively began releasing ink, turning the entire tank black.
"Quickly, go find Xiyan!"
At this point, only Xiyan can save Usopp.
The two rushed out and shouted, "Hey, Xiyan, hurry and save Usopp!"
"Usopp?"
west Yan stood up from the recliner, took off his sunglasses, and asked, "What happened to him?"
"He was entangled by an octopus underwater."
"Entangle...."
west Yan glanced in the direction of the water tank. He had heard the other person go down, but it turned out that he got beaten up by Squidward underwater.
He rushed over in a flash, saying, "Don't worry, I'll get him out right away."
"Water Release: Water Tornado!"
"Buzz~"
Under the influence of Xi Yan's ninjutsu, the water tank below suddenly began to swirl, then shot skyward.
It carried both the octopus and Usopp away!
Usopp, caught in the middle of the waterspout, was spinning wildly, just like a top.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
At this moment, Usopp fully experienced what it meant to soar freely. As the water disappeared, Usopp began to freefall from the air.
west Yan jumped up, grabbed the spinning Usopp, and landed him steadily on the deck.
Usopp, who had been rescued, knelt on the ground and dry heaved, completely dazed.
"Thankfully, west Yan's Water Release technique was able to rescue him," Nami said with a sigh of relief.
"Wow, so handsome!"
Chopper and Luffy both looked at Xiyan with shining eyes and said, "We want to try it too!"
west Yan: ...
Is it interesting to be attacked by ninjutsu?
"You two are Devil Fruit users, so behave yourselves," Nami said irritably.
Who would willingly choose to be battered by seawater?
"Hey, west Yan!"
Coming to his senses, Usopp stood up and pressed his nose against west Yan's face, roaring with his shark-like mouth wide open, "Are you trying to kill me?!"
They actually used ninjutsu to pull him out... How could that bastard even think of that!
In the instant he was launched, he thought his mother had come to pick him up.
"I deliberately controlled the power of the ninjutsu," west Yan said. "Otherwise, it wouldn't just be as simple as dizziness."
A waterspout unleashed at full power has a terrifying tearing force; without a strong physique, one could be torn to shreds.
Moreover, excessive force can also cause problems with the water tank, which is why Xiyan specifically controlled the force.
"I see...:::::" Usopp said, "Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"These octopuses should be enough, right?" Luffy squatted down and looked at the little octopus, saying, "They look so delicious."
"That's all," west Yan said. "I also rolled up all the octopuses inside."
"You should have said so earlier!"
"You can't blame me for forgetting that I know ninjutsu," west Yan said, shrugging.
Who knew that Usopp, that idiot, would jump in and grab the octopus? Didn't he know that this thing could get tangled up with people?
It's fortunate that it was a small octopus; if it had been a particularly large one, Usopp would have been easy prey.
Usopp: ....
Usopp wore a complicated expression, momentarily at a loss for words to refute.
He had completely forgotten that west Yan knew ninjutsu; he was only thinking about how to use tools to show off his skills in front of Mei Li and the others.
"Let's take the octopus to the kitchen first," Sanji said.
"profound!"
The group quickly cleaned up the fish on the deck, put them into the large bucket that Usopp had carried out earlier, and took it to the kitchen.
After placing the fish on the ground, Usopp wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "That's good enough, Sanji."
"Okay, leave the rest to me."
"Hey everyone, there seems to be something out at sea."
"thing?"
Upon hearing Zoro's voice, the group quickly ran out of the kitchen and back onto the deck, saying, "Could it be another pirate ship without sails?"
"What?!" Usopp's expression changed. "Could it be another bounty hunter?"
"Damn it, are we being watched again?"
Chopper's expression changed, and fear showed in his eyes, as if he was afraid that the bounty hunter would take his head.
"Another bounty hunter?" Nami's eyes lit up. "That means we'll have new income!"
Nami...
"What are you afraid of? That's all money!" Nami exclaimed excitedly. "Last time we made 600 million Berries, how much will it be this time?"
Usopp stared at Nami in disbelief. Why did this girl become so bold when money was mentioned, you bastard!
Are the timid trio from the past going to be free now?!
"It doesn't look like a pirate ship...::::" Franky said, looking curiously at the sea as he approached the ship. "It looks more like a box."
"Isn't he a bounty hunter?!"
Usopp perked up as soon as he arrived, jogging over to Franky's side and squinting as he watched the box on the sea surface.
"Hey, it says 'treasure' on it... Could it be a treasure chest?!"
"A treasure chest?"
"Really? Maybe it's a treasure chest that fell off some ship!" Luffy said.
"Quick, Luffy, get it out of there!"
Nami was immediately excited. What she loved most was treasure. If there were hundreds of millions of Berries of gold hidden inside, that would be even better!
"Rubber Treasure Hunt!"
"Whoosh~"
"Gotcha!"
Luffy's outstretched hand firmly grasped the treasure chest floating on the sea in the distance.
"Quick, Luffy, push!"
"profound!"
Looking at the treasure chest that Luffy was gradually pulling up, west Yan asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Is...is there really such a good thing?"
"Okay, there's no such thing as a free lunch."
Nami's excited expression immediately vanished after she saw what Luffy had retrieved.
"Nami, do you recognize this?"
"Yes, this thing is called a Flowing Talisman." Nami pointed to the box and said, "Doesn't it say on it, 'Before the Sea God's Treasure'?"
"This is a question that people specifically asked the guardians of the sea so that they could sail safely on the ocean."
"Generally speaking, it contains alcohol or food."
"This is a barrel of wine..." Franky said, touching the barrel. "Then this must be the wine."
"Most likely."
"Then what's the point?" Usopp said, scratching his head.
"Oh no, we stole the gods' offerings, won't we be cursed?!"
"What, a curse?"
Upon hearing what Merry said, Chopper's face turned green.
"Idiot, even being punished with demerits is considered divine retribution!"
"That's even more terrifying..."
.
"I don't believe in gods or anything like that," Zoro grinned. "Besides, gods and all that..."
It's not like we haven't fought before.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately recalled the scene from when they arrived in Kong, where there was a guy who called himself a god.
In the end, he was knocked unconscious by Luffy's punch.
Thinking of this, Usopp immediately lost his fear.
"It's not that complicated," Nami explained. "As long as you pray, you can drink the wine."
"And... the longer it drifts at sea, the more fragrant and mellow the wine becomes~"
"What?! I absolutely have to try it!"
"Delicious drinks, huh?" Franky said with a smile. "It's rare to encounter something so good; we're really lucky."
"Everyone can drink without worry," Nico Robin said. "Just follow the custom and refill your cup after you've finished."
"profound!"
"God, I'll take the delicious drinks you sent!" Luffy said with a laugh, "Alright, prayer over."
"Quick, Luffy, open him up!"
"Don't rush me, I'll open it right away."
Luffy bared his teeth, stepped forward, untied the rope above the barrel, opened the lid, and peered inside.
"let me see.....
"bump!"
Suddenly, a beam of light shot out of the barrel and soared into the sky!
"boom!"
Red fireworks exploded in the sky, their brightness even more dazzling than sunlight!
"A glowing bullet...:::" Nico Robin said with a grim expression.
"Robin, what are you thinking about?"
"I hope I'm just overthinking it," Nico Robin said. "Otherwise, our ship might be under surveillance."
"So it really isn't that good after all." west Yan frowned and said, "Looks like it's a trap."
It's unclear whether the ones targeting them this time are bounty hunters or other pirates.
"This feeling..." Nami suddenly looked up, sensing the change in air pressure, and her expression changed as she said, "Everyone, hurry, it's going to rain in five minutes, let's get out of here."
"Merry, at 2 o'clock, proceed straight ahead!"
"profound!"
Trusting Nami, Merry did not hesitate at all and immediately activated her ability to take control of the ship, changing its direction of travel and heading straight towards the 2 o'clock position.
Soon, five minutes passed, and just as Nami had said, the sky quickly darkened, and a torrential downpour began.
"Nami is absolutely the best navigator, without a doubt!" west Yan exclaimed.
There's probably no one else who can sense weather changes just by looking at their skin.
"west Yan, let's talk about the praise later. Let's leave here first."
"knew!"
Nico Robin glanced in the direction they had just come from, frowned, and said, "Hopefully it was just a prank, otherwise it might be another tough battle."
