Chapter 281 The man whose eyes were shining in Hancock's eyes, Xiyan is really too strong!
"Quickly, move forward as fast as you can!" Hancock exclaimed. "I want to get back to Amazon Lily as soon as possible!"
Hearing Hancock's words, Santasonia's face showed a helpless expression.
"Big sister, we're moving forward at top speed now."
She knew her older sister wanted to go home as soon as possible, but the problem was...: ...this ship is only going that fast.
Hancock frowned upon hearing this, clearly not satisfied with the answer, but she didn't say anything more, after all, her sister wouldn't lie to her.
Seeing Hancock's furrowed brows, Marigold paused for a moment before changing the subject, "Big sister, tell us what happened at Marine Headquarters."
"Naval Headquarters"
"Hmm." Marigold nodded and said, "Did anything noteworthy happen?"
Upon hearing this, Hancock immediately perked up.
"some!"
"What is it?" Marigold asked quickly.
"I've witnessed the power of the Western Flame!" Hancock exclaimed with a lovesick expression, "Unparalleled power!"
Marigold: ? ? ?
Marigold looked at her older sister with a puzzled expression. So, this sister had been watching Xiyan the whole time?
That's...right.
Santasonia looked at Hancock with some confusion and said, "Unparalleled—powerful?!"
Wasn't there Whitebeard and a Marine Admiral in that battle at Marine Headquarters? What the hell is this about west Yan displaying unparalleled strength?
Could he be more powerful than the general and the white-bearded man?
This...this can't be right.
Those are the Four Emperors and their generals!!!
"That's right, it's incomparably powerful!!" Hancock said.
Being able to fight three naval admirals without being at a disadvantage—doesn't that demonstrate Xi Yan's strength?
Recalling what she had seen at Marine Headquarters, Hancock's eyes began to sparkle.
And the Xiyan in those scenes... was constantly flashing with light!
"Ah~"
west Yan was simply too dazzling. Santasonia paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Big sister, you have to tell us what he did."
"Alright, then I'll tell you about it," Hancock said. "In that battle at Marine Headquarters, he fought against all three Admirals and remained undefeated!!"
"Varied......?!"
Upon hearing Hancock's words, both Santasonia and Marigold looked on in disbelief.
How could he fight against the three admirals of the Navy and remain undefeated?
This...this is terrifying!
Doesn't this mean that the other party is even stronger than their older sister?!
Upon realizing this, both of their pupils contracted.
"Wow, west Yan's strength is actually that strong..." Marigold said, swallowing hard.
It seems that west Yan really didn't hold a grudge against them before, otherwise... one of them could have taken over Nine Serpents Island by himself!
"It is extremely powerful."
Hancock smiled as she recalled the Admiral's headache when he saw Xiyan.
"It seems I underestimated this person's strength," Santasonia remarked.
She had previously thought this person's strength was similar to her older sister's, but...: ...So strong!
"Not only is their strength formidable, but Xiyan's various abilities are also incredibly powerful," Hancock said. "For example... their immortality!"
With this capability, the Navy really has no way to deal with west Yan.
"Immortality?" Santasonia exclaimed in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
Is it possible for someone in this world to be immortal?
This is absolutely shocking.
Marigold frowned and said, "An immortal body, huh..."
Oh ~
She got it!
No wonder my older sister said before that west Yan was unkillable; it turns out he's immortal.
This explains why my older sister said those words back then.
but.
"How did he do that?" Marigold thought to herself. "He can actually stay alive..."
Did he eat some kind of special Devil Fruit?
Thinking about this, Marigold fell into deep thought.
"It may sound unbelievable, but it's true," Hancock said.
It can be said that as long as west Yan doesn't want to, no one in this world can kill him!
"Possessing the strength to fight the three admirals of the Navy, plus an immortal body... :..:" Santasonia swallowed and said, "The Navy must be having a terrible headache right now."
"More or less."
Recalling the reaction of the navy when they discovered that Xiyan possessed immortality, Hancock couldn't help but laugh.
No matter what kind of attack the navy launches, they cannot kill this powerful ninja!
"The navy must have suffered considerable losses as well," Marigold said.
"Yes, it's very big."
Hancock nodded and said, "The Navy has been severely weakened by this war."
If the problem of combat capability cannot be solved, the navy will be unable to continue to fulfill its naval duties.
"And how did the war end?" Santasonia asked.
"The Whitebeard Pirates rescued Fire Fist Ace after suffering heavy casualties," Hancock said.
"So, the Whitebeard Pirates have achieved a complete victory?"
"That's not the case." Hancock shook her head and said, "Whitebeard died in the end, so strictly speaking, the Navy won."
As the war drew to a close, Hancock also realized the Navy's true intentions.
These guys' goal from the very beginning was to kill Whitebeard!
Fire Fist Ace and the Whitebeard Pirates were just bystanders.
After all... without Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, the Whitebeard Pirates are no longer a threat!
"Even someone like that could die in battle?" Marigold exclaimed in shock.
That's one of the Four Emperors, who holds the title of "World's Strongest Man"!
"His strength is indeed formidable, but... he's getting old after all," Hancock said. "Moreover, he was involved in that level of war."
Whitebeard probably guessed from the beginning that he might die at Marine Headquarters, but he still went...:
I must say, he was indeed a guy worthy of admiration!
"It seems that even the world's strongest man cannot resist the erosion of time..." Marigold sighed.
"That's true," Santasonia nodded in agreement.
Time really does treat everyone fairly.
"And then what?" Marigold asked. "How did the Whitebeard Pirates leave Marine Headquarters?"
She remembered that there was a naval admiral at the Navy Headquarters who could freeze the sea!
With that guy around, the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't even be able to leave if they wanted to.
Unless someone is willing to stay and fight Admiral Aokiji to the death, Aokiji will have no way to freeze the sea!
However, the person who stayed behind might...:
"Could it be that the one who stayed behind is Whitebeard?" Marigold wondered to herself.
It's not impossible.
Despite his severe injuries, he single-handedly held off the pursuing Marines, giving the Whitebeard Pirates a chance to escape... This gave the Whitebeard Pirates a chance to leave Marine Headquarters!
"Of course, it's also possible that west Yan left behind to cover their retreat," Marigold murmured to himself.
After all... west Yan possesses an immortal body!
A man like that has nothing to fear from being ganged up on by the navy!
"The Navy originally didn't intend to let the Whitebeard Pirates go, but because another Yonko has appeared, they had no choice but to give up," Hancock said.
"Another Yonko?" Marigold exclaimed in shock. "Who is it?"
"Redheads!"
"Red hair?"
Hearing west Yan's words, Granny Zha looked shocked and said, "You mean, Red Hair went to Marine Headquarters to mediate?"
"Yes."
west Yan nodded and said, "This guy said, 'If anyone still wants to fight, then fight our Red-Haired Pirates! We'll fight to the bitter end!'"
"That's quite a show," Grandma Za muttered.
Did they forcefully demand that everyone stop as soon as they entered the room?
Is he really not afraid of the Navy or the Whitebeard Pirates going to their deaths with him?
However, after thinking about the strength of the Red-Haired Pirates, Grandma felt relieved.
They were indeed not afraid, after all... the Red-Haired Pirates were really strong!
"He was indeed very high-profile," west Yan said, "but it was precisely because of this guy that the war was able to end."
"Otherwise, leaving won't be an easy thing."
After all... Aokiji, a Marine Admiral, can freeze the ocean!
With this guy around, it's practically impossible for them to leave by boat.
Of course, if they could quickly take down Aokiji, they could leave Marine Headquarters without any problems.
However... this is not an easy task, after all, it is a Marine Admiral!
"No wonder Luffy mentions this person so often," Merry said, resting her chin on her hand. "He really is a good person."
If it weren't for this man, it wouldn't have been easy for west Yan and the others to leave.
"A good person?"
Grandma raised an eyebrow. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to use such words on a pirate?
Those are the Four Emperors!!!
"Isn't that right?" Meili asked the old woman in confusion. "He did help Xiyan and the others."
Isn't someone who helped her a good person?
Mother-in-law: ....
Oh, I see.
From Mary's perspective, the other person was indeed a good person.
west Yan smiled upon hearing this, reached out and rubbed Mei Li's little head, saying, "Yes, to us, he is indeed a good person."
Speaking of which, that guy even saved Luffy's life once.
"Hehe, I knew it!"
A smile appeared on Mei Li's face as Xi Yan patted her head, and her legs began to swing back and forth, clearly indicating that she was in a very good mood.
After smiling, west Yan turned his gaze to Granny Za and said, "In short... it was because of Shanks that the Navy gave up pursuing us and chose to cease hostilities."
"And we took this opportunity to leave the Navy Headquarters."
Grandma nodded upon hearing this, then said with some emotion, "I never expected that Sengoku would actually compromise with Shanks."
Is it because they're afraid of this Yonko?
Or is there some other reason?
After thinking for a while and realizing she couldn't figure it out, my mother-in-law gave up trying to solve the problem.
"What can he do if he doesn't compromise?" west Yan shrugged and said, "Continuing to fight will be detrimental to their navy."
Although the white-bearded uncle died in battle, their high-end combat force is still intact!
If Shanks were willing to join forces with them... the Navy would definitely be in deep trouble!
"That's true," Grandma Za said.
Although the navy has five admirals, they really can't defeat these people.
After all... the Red-Haired Pirates have two extremely powerful individuals!
Just then, Mei said, "By the way, Xiyan, I just heard you mention a guy called Blackbeard. Who is that person?"
"Him..."
Recalling the man's face, west Yan said, "Just an ambitious schemer."
"I remember he was the new Shichibukai, right?" Granny said, as the image of the black-bearded man in the newspaper flashed through her mind.
Then she thought to herself, "Why does this guy look so familiar?"
It was as if... she had seen it somewhere before.
But no matter how hard she tried, the mother-in-law couldn't remember where she had seen the other person before.
Is it just my imagination?
Thinking about this, Grandma fell into deep thought.
"That's right, he is indeed the new Shichibukai." west Yan nodded and said, "However, he only accepted this title to achieve his own goals."
"Have you achieved your goal?"
"Yes."
west Yan said, "From what he's saying... he only became a Shichibukai to get closer to Impel Down."
After recalling the conversation between Blackbeard and Sengoku, west Yan nodded affirmatively.
Then he thought to himself, "Those new faces following that guy must be prisoners from the underwater prison."
In order to gain a few powerful subordinates?
That's interesting.
This would indeed quickly increase the strength of his pirate crew, but... such subordinates might not necessarily be loyal. 'west Yan muttered to himself.'
Could this black-bearded man be following in the footsteps of Rocks?
After recalling what his mother-in-law had said before, west Yan fell into deep thought.
"Why are you going near the underwater prison?" Grandma asked, puzzled.
"Let's recruit some powerful pirates as subordinates."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Zha was stunned for a moment, then murmured to herself, "He does resemble that guy somewhat..."
It was at this moment that the image of Lox appeared in her mind.
Then, a startling thought popped into Grandma's mind.
"Why does Blackbeard look a bit like Rocks?" Grandma thought in shock.
Could that guy be a descendant of Rocks?
However, the thought was quickly extinguished by Granny Zha, after all... the World Government had investigated everything about Rocks!
So that guy is most likely not a descendant of Rocks, otherwise he would have died long ago!
"I guess it's someone who looks similar," Grandma thought to herself.
After shaking her head inwardly, Grandma Zha quickly dismissed the strange idea.
"But there's something I don't understand," said Little Mary, resting her chin on her hand. "He already has some powerful allies, so why does he still want to go to Marine Headquarters?"
"To gain fame by killing Whitebeard," Grandma Za guessed.
If he really manages to kill Whitebeard, then this guy will become famous overnight.
It's not impossible that he could become the next Yonko!
"That should be one of the reasons," west Yan said, squinting. "But I always feel that he has some other purpose."
"Other purposes?"
Grandma looked puzzled, then asked, "What did you discover?"
"After killing the white-bearded man, that guy covered the white-bearded man's body with a black cloth, as if he was planning to do something."
"What are you doing?" Grandma asked, frowning.
Could it be that... that guy plans to take Whitebeard's head with him?
But that doesn't make sense. If they just wanted to take Whitebeard's head, there was no need to cover him with a black cloth.
"I don't know." west Yan shook his head and said, "I can't figure out what this guy is trying to do either."
"But I didn't let him succeed."
"What have you done now?"
"I used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a technique used in Chinese fantasy novels) to retrieve Uncle Whitebeard's body," west Yan said with a smirk.
Grandma paused for a moment after hearing this, then gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done!!"
Meanwhile, on the other side...
On a calm sea, a person is floating on the surface of the water.
"It's not an easy thing to swim across the Calm Belt," Rayleigh said with a headache.
But there was nothing he could do; his ship had been destroyed by the sea monsters.
After shaking his head, Rayleigh took out the Vivre Card from his pocket and glanced at it.
Then, he turned his gaze to the southwest.
"There," Rayleigh muttered.
After putting away the Vivre Card, Rayleigh plunged into the sea and swam forward at top speed.
He needs to get to Snake Island as quickly as possible!
