He discovered that everyone was looking at him with expressions of utter disbelief.
Although he was a ghost to begin with.
Ghost Xia Yan: "What's wrong? Why are you all staring at me like that...?"
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Wait! How the hell are you so skilled at this?! How did you even come up with all this nonsense?!"
Ghost Xia Yan: "Um...maybe it's because I play a lot of games?"
"After all, the time I traveled to was still in the modern era, and I didn't have to spend too much time on life and studies, so I played a lot of games..."
Demi-human Xia Yan: "Awesome, awesome! If Ainz Ooal Gown Xia Yan succeeds, at least half the credit will go to you!"
The others, including Xia Yan, would also come to their senses and shower him with praise.
Although there were only a dozen or so people, their exceptional skills drew applause comparable to that of the Spring Festival Gala audience.
Pirate Natsuhiko: "I'm also preparing to go back and carry out my revenge plan. Why don't you give me your opinion on my plans? Although I've thought about it for a long time, there might be better options than I've thought of."
Hearing that the long-standing problem in the space had finally been solved, the other Xia Yans, while happy for him, also became serious.
After all, as one of the three major shonen manga, One Piece naturally has extremely high potential. With serious study, it could become another powerful force.
Even though Hokage Natsuhiko is already there to carry the load, no one would complain about having too many powerful figures.
Moreover, compared to the high-attack, low-defense ninjas in Naruto who are like glass cannons, Guy in the One Piece world is practically tanky.
Of course, this is on the premise that you don't use iron blocks indiscriminately...
This thing seems to be cursed; whoever uses it gets beaten up.
Chapter 228 Starting Today, I'll Be an Evil Spirit
Pirate Natsuhiko: "I won't go into the details of needing to adapt to changing circumstances, since nobody knows what might happen."
"In short, the general direction is to first take advantage of being of the same race as King the Wildfire, and become a student of Teacher Koro. Then, I'll find an opportunity to take over the Beast Pirates directly, so I don't have to start from scratch."
"Once the time is right, we'll overthrow that bastard World Government's rule and settle all scores!"
Ajin Natsuhiko: "A very calm and mature thought. I thought you would be like me, eager to choose revenge by force."
Pirate Xia Yan: "I'm not that stupid. Our situations are completely different. No matter how destructive your technology is, it still needs people to use it. On my side, we have monsters whose power originates from themselves."
"Judging from my current strength, although I am not weak, I should not be at the level of the three generals and the four emperors. At most, I am at the level of an emperor's vice-president."
"Moreover, the most important ability, Haki, has not yet been mastered. Although I deliberately intend to return there, with our accumulated experience, it is very likely that we can directly awaken three types of Haki, but we still need someone to teach us the advanced techniques of using Haki."
"Actually, the most suitable teacher is still Rayleigh, but since we are not related to him, it is difficult to establish any connection."
"The easiest to approach is Kaido, followed by Big Mom's Big Mom Pirates. I reckon they'd welcome me more than Kaido because of my bloodline, but as for Big Mom's Pirates..."
"It's still too delicate to consider."
At this point, Xia Yan, the pirate, looked wistful.
It's clear that he had considered joining the Big Mom Pirates before, but gave up after thinking about the potential costs.
Ajin Natsuhiko: "You must have been thinking about how to get revenge from the very beginning. All you lack is power. Although the plan sounds rough, it seems surprisingly feasible."
Pirate Xia Yan: "I think so too. It's better to be prepared than not. But since there are no objections, the Fourth Xia Yan Mutual Aid Conference is now successfully concluded!"
"Wait!" Seeing that all the Xia Yans were about to go home, the ghost Xia Yan quickly called out to them. "You all have plans, so what am I supposed to do? And it's not just me, Nurarihyon Xia Yan hasn't made any plans either, has he?"
Upon hearing the ghost Xia Yan's question, the other Xia Yan rolled their eyes in exasperation, including the demon Xia Yan who was singled out.
Pirate Xia Yan: "You were just giving Ainz Ooal Gown Xia Yan a very logical analysis, how come you're starting to get confused again now?"
“Since he just mentioned me, let me explain to him…” The demon Xia Yan shrugged somewhat speechlessly and said, “The so-called planning is nothing more than knowing the plot and trying to adapt to or change it in order to gain the greatest benefit.”
"But my situation is very complicated, and I can't predict how the plot will develop. You haven't even figured out what world it is yet, so what am I supposed to arrange for you?"
"Huh!? That seems to be true, hehehe..."
The ghost Xia Yan scratched his head and chuckled twice. When he looked up again, he found that everyone except himself had left.
"Then I'll go back too..."
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the ghost Xia Yan found himself on a modern street.
It was the place he had been in before entering the [Xia Yan Mutual Aid Space] while in a daze.
"are you back……"
Xia Yan muttered to himself.
He looked around at his surroundings.
It seemed to be a very ordinary street, next to which was a chain donut shop called "MrsDonut", a world-renowned donut brand. He had seen it before when he came to his homeland, except that the signboard had a larger Chinese name printed on it.
This is a unique characteristic of China.
However, because he doesn't like sweets, he has never been there.
It seems to be quite popular in the island nation, with long queues forming, and the queue even turned a corner to avoid affecting traffic.
Not far away, there was a bus stop sign covered with Japanese kana characters interspersed with Chinese characters.
Xia Yan was in a long queue, and it was almost his turn.
Of course, he wasn't queuing up to buy donuts.
Xia Yan was currently in a line full of ghosts, and the end of the line was a dark and narrow alley.
A monster with only a head and four limbs, filling the entire alleyway, was waiting there in a posture that was hard to tell whether it was squatting, standing, or sitting.
The ghosts, including Xia Yan, who were queuing up, walked up to it one by one like products on an assembly line, and were then stuffed into its mouth and swallowed.
To be honest, Xia Yan wasn't absolutely terrified when he saw this.
I didn't even feel any lingering fear.
It wasn't because he gained powerful strength in the [Xia Yan Mutual Aid Space] that was enough to instantly kill that monster.
Rather, he didn't sense any malice from the monster.
Although it looks like a ghost, and it is indeed a ghost, it gives Xia Yan the feeling of being a kind of home.
It's like the mouth of a ghost, the final resting place of souls, where all ghosts should go.
"It should be a passage to the underworld, or an entrance to reincarnation or something like that..."
"It's really disgusting that I look like this. Why isn't a beautiful Grim Reaper coming to take me away..."
Muttering to himself, Xia Yan left the group without hesitation, under the somewhat dazed and curious gazes of the ghosts behind him.
After all, even though he was already a ghost, he didn't really want to go to places where ghosts should go to broaden his horizons.
Who knows if I'll even be able to get out by then?
Oh, ghosts shouldn't know that...
Although that place is the final resting place for souls, even ghosts don't know what the purpose of the final resting place for souls in this world is.
If it's truly reincarnation, that's fine. But I'm afraid that the so-called final destination will be to transform into some kind of energy, becoming nourishment for this world.
Uncertain of what might happen, Xia Yan chose not to take the risk.
After all, being a wandering ghost is good for serving as fertilizer.
Moreover, he did have memories during the period when he was wandering around in a daze.
He clearly remembered that there seemed to be quite a few things that looked like evil spirits, and none of them came to join the queue.
Moreover, there were clearly no ghost messengers or anything like that maintaining discipline around, so this thing shouldn't be enforced by law.
Chapter 229 The Observation Report of the Evil Spirit Xia Yan
Although he left the queue, Xia Yan did not go too far. He simply stood silently in the middle of the sidewalk, letting pedestrians pass over him.
"As expected, it won't work. It can neither be seen nor touched."
Watching pedestrians pass right through him without him even noticing, Xia Yan muttered to himself.
"It's like we exist in two completely different parallel worlds. Speaking of which, this must have been the feeling when Obito Uchiha activated Kamui..."
"No, at least he can be seen by others."
"and--"
Watching the young couple walking side by side, chatting and laughing, each holding a donut, exuding a certain sweet and sour smell of love, Xia Yan casually pushed the boy's donut to the ground.
"Huh!? What's going on? I haven't even eaten a single bite!"
"Mommy~, Sousuke, let's eat mine together... Huh!? How could this be!!"
Snapped--
Another donut fell to the ground.
"It's all your fault, Sousuke!"
"What! My fault!? You clearly didn't hold it properly either!"
"Huh!? If it weren't to comfort you, how could my donut have fallen?!"
"So what do you want!?"
……
Having successfully interrupted the two's attempt to show affection in front of him, which had slightly strained their relationship, Xia Yan shrugged indifferently and walked to the nearby station, keeping his good deed hidden.
I'm still single, and you two dare to show off your love in public?!
All of you, die!
"Although it may not touch people, it is possible to move objects, or even more seriously, directly damage them."
"By the way, I can understand Japanese now..."
Looking at the broken glass of the vending machine at the bus stop, and the startled passersby who, seeing no one was stopping them, tentatively took the items from inside, Xia Yan analyzed his current abilities.
Although he had been a ghost for some time, he had been living in a daze, like a fool.
Therefore, their understanding of themselves is really limited.
