Practical Sealing Scroll

"Alright, tell me, who are those two?" After placing the ingredients on the deck, Xi Yan looked at Pappagu and Camie and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that girl should be a mermaid."

As he spoke, Xi Yan sized up the two men; it was clear they were covered in blood...

Um?

Stained with blood?

Could it be that when I made the Sea Kings cough up blood, it vomited it up along with the blood?

These two people were just eaten?

Thinking of this, Xi Yan's expression became subtle.

"Sorry!"

"Huh?!"

Pappagu stared at Camie in shock. Why was he apologizing?

Xi Yan:...

Xi Yan stared at Camie speechlessly, feeling like this guy was an idiot.

"Robin?"

"They just flew out of the sea monster's mouth," Nico Robin explained.

As she spoke, Nico Robin pointed to the sea monster corpse beside her, which made Xi Yan understand the reason for the blood on the other party.

Just as he expected, the other party did indeed fly out along with the sea beast's blood.

"Yes, thank you very much for your help," Camie said. "Otherwise, we would have been digested by the sea monsters."

"To be honest, I'm very easy to be eaten by sea monsters; I've probably been eaten about twenty times."

Xi Yan:???

This guy is such an idiot, getting eaten more than twenty times? What the hell?!

How did this guy survive until now?

These weren't completely digested by the Sea Kings... their luck is truly extraordinary.

Could it be... that good luck favors idiots?

Thinking of this, Xi Yan looked at Camie with a complicated expression.

"Meat... meat..."

Xi Yan glanced at Luffy, who was squatting in front of the Sea Kings's meat, drooling, and said, "Sanji, this meat is yours."

Ah~

"No problem!"

Sanji, lying on the ground, weakly raised his hand and said...

"What's wrong with you...?"

"Just ignore him, let him die," Zoro said dismissively.

"What did you say?!"

Sanji sprang up as if a switch had been flipped, and started wrestling with Zoro.

Pappagu:???

"Why... why did they start fighting?!"

"Ah, never mind them," Nami said. "I'm more interested in what happened to you two, and why you were swallowed by the sea monster."

"If I remember correctly, mermaids move faster than sea monsters in water."

"How did you know?" Xi Yan asked in surprise.

"Kokoro is a mermaid. She brought Sanji and Zoro out of the water back then, otherwise they would have drowned."

"Click~"

Upon hearing this, Sanji and Zoro froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

"Kokoro..."

Zoro's expression changed as memories of the past surfaced in his mind, but he quickly and forcefully deleted them.

"Hmm... that's right, this is indeed the first time I've ever seen a mermaid," Zoro muttered.

Sanji looked as if he had suffered a major blow; his entire body turned ashen, and he collapsed uncontrollably to the ground.

"Why do you have to remind me of such terrible things?" Sanji said with a pained expression, "Compared to this memory, even the Thriller Bark is nothing..."

How rude of you!

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

A clearly annoyed Nami kicked both Sanji and Zoro, saying, "You two better thank Kokoro for saving your lives, you bastards!"

"Thank you Kokoro..."

"Snort."

Nami snorted, too lazy to bother with those two.

"Kokoro is actually a mermaid?" Merry asked in surprise.

"To be honest, I don't know either..."

Luffy also looked puzzled. When did the monster granny turn into a mermaid?

"It's normal that you don't know," Usopp explained. "After all... none of you were there at the time."

One was engaged in a life -Life and Death Fight with Rob Lucci, while the other had not yet arrived at Judicial Island and was naturally unaware of Kokoro's situation.

"Oh... I see."

Luffy nodded as if Satori, but then Luffy frowned when he thought that Kokoro was also a mermaid...

"Bump!"

"You bastard, how come you're just like them!"

Nami, who kicked Luffy aside, looked extremely displeased.

"Yo-ho-ho-ho, this is my first time seeing Fish-Man." Brook walked up to Camie with a smile, squatted down, and said, "This Miss Mermaid..."

"Could you lend me... lend me some money?"

Xi Yan:...

This guy probably meant to say "look at panties," but he changed his words because the other person didn't have legs.

"You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Sanji, fully recovered, kicked Brook, sending him flying to the side.

"Ah!"

"A moving skeleton!"

"Look how scared he is!"

"Yo-ho-ho-ho~" Brook chuckled and came closer, opening his skull and saying, "Look, my head can open too~"

"Isn't that interesting!"

To everyone's surprise, this time Camie wasn't afraid; instead, she clapped happily.

"This is so interesting!"

"This person's ability to learn is truly extraordinary..."

"I think he's just naturally dense," Xi Yan retorted.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have been swallowed by sea monsters so many times.

After all... mermaids move faster than sea monsters.

"By the way, do you know how to poop...?"

"You bastard, what question are you asking now!"

Seeing Luffy ask such a ridiculous question, Sanji kicked him and roared with his shark-like mouth open, "Show some respect to the lady, you bastard!"

"Ah, I..."

"Damn it, don't answer this question!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Nami stared at Sanji speechlessly, unsure of what to say.

"More than that, I'm curious about why that starfish could talk."

As he spoke, Xi Yan glanced at Pappagu, who had run to the corner, and said, "Stop hiding, the starfish's feet are showing."

The way this guy hides himself is somewhat similar to Chopper's.

Pappagu:...

"Haha, hello everyone~"

Looking at Pappagu walking back, Xi Yan said, "Are you a mermaid too?"

"How could that be? Only someone like this young lady is a true mermaid!"

Seeing Sanji's excited Sanji, Xi Yan broke out in a cold sweat.

So, is it really necessary to get so worked up...?

"Pappagu isn't a mermaid," Camie explained. "He's a starfish, my pet, and also my mentor."

"Pet... Master?"

How are these two combined?

"Then why can he talk?"

"Because I thought I was human since I was little, I learned to speak."

Xi Yan:...

What a strange phenomenon! Do they think that just because they're human, they can learn to speak?

However, the thought that such wondrous things as Devil Fruit existed in this ocean made Xi Yan feel relieved.

That's true, they all have Devil Fruit, so what if a starfish can talk?

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself," Camie said. "My name is Camie, and I'm Kissing Fish Mermaid."

"This one is Pappagu ~"

"Hey everyone, please give me your feedback~"

Pappagu grinned, pulled out a guitar from who-knows-where, stood there and started playing while singing some incomprehensible words.

Xi Yan's lips twitched as he asked, "Where did you pull this guitar from?"

"Camie!!"

Sanji looked at Camie excitedly and said, "Does the Kissing Fish Mermaid... does she like to kiss...?"

"Bump!"

"Shut up, you bastard!"

Seeing Sanji gradually approaching, Nami punched Sanji on the head, knocking him to the ground and almost making him roll his eyes back.

"So... so scary..."

Pappagu shuddered; the string on his instrument almost snapped.

However, the others didn't care. After all... apart from Merry and Robin, who in the Straw Hat Pirates hasn't been beaten up by Nami?

"So, why are you both her master and her pet?"

"I asked her to raise them," Pappagu said, putting away her guitar.

"That's right, Pappagu is incredibly talented!" Camie said. "On Fish-Man Island, he's a very famous fashion designer."

As she spoke, Camie pointed to her clothes and said, "He designed these T-shirts; they're quite popular on our Fish-Man Island."

"So... you're becoming an apprentice to become a fashion designer?"

"That's right!" Camie said with a smile, "I hope to become a great fashion designer someday!"

"You can do it, Camie! You definitely can!"

Sanji immediately got up, looking at Camie with excitement, and said, "You can definitely become a great designer!"

"Really? Thank you!"

You're welcome~

After being thanked by Camie, Sanji started to vigorously twist his body, his expression full of excitement.

"Oh, by the way, to repay your life-saving kindness, I'll take you to eat Takoyaki ~"

"Takoyaki?!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly, "Is it possible?!"

"Um!"

"Cheng Hui, 500 Beli per person~"

Luffy:...

Luffy stared at Camie, somewhat dumbfounded. Wasn't he supposed to be thanking them? What was the meaning of taking money?

"Fool!"

Pappagu slapped Camie on the head and said, "Do you think this is a business deal?!"

"Ah!!"

"I'm sorry, I got it mixed up..."

Seeing Camie's panicked expression, Xi Yan quickly covered his face.

It's confirmed, this guy is definitely a natural airhead, and a really stupid one at that.

"I'm sorry everyone, we won't charge you this time."

"Yoshi!"

"Let's go eat Takoyaki!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.

"What about this Sea Kings?" Xi Yan pointed to the huge Sea Beast Meat on his fingernail, then pointed to the huge Sea Kings on the surface of the sea.

Wouldn't it be a waste not to eat it?

"We can eat it tonight," Luffy grinned, "No problem, Sanji?"

"Ah, no problem."

Sanji, now back to normal, stood up, lit a cigarette, and said, "Eating it tonight is fine too. Sea Kings are special; it won't affect the freshness."

After the Sea Kings meat on the deck was processed, the storage room was perfectly fine.

As for that one on the sea...

Sanji glanced at the Sea Kings, stroked his chin, and said, "Xi Yan, can your Sealing Scroll capture this giant?"

"Yes, but time doesn't stand still inside Sealing Scroll; they'll spoil if not consumed for a long time."

"It's alright, Luffy's appetite is so big, he can finish it off quickly."

"Okay," Xi Yan said, "Can you cut it open?"

"Sure, as long as you don't damage the internal organs, otherwise it will affect the taste," Sanji said. "You can also drain the blood while you're at it."

Xi Yan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then walked towards the side of the ship.

Camie and Pappagu looked at Xi Yan's retreating figure with confusion, not understanding the meaning of the conversation between the two.

Never mind, let's contact Hatchan Ba first.

"Such a huge creature is really a troublesome thing to deal with," Xi Yan said, stroking his chin as he reached the surface of the sea.

"Clang~"

Drawing the Kusanagi Sword from his waist, Xi Yan imbued it with Wind Attribute Chakra and began circling the sea monster's body, searching for a suitable spot to strike.

"Yes, we need to avoid the internal organs, otherwise the taste will easily spoil..."

"Gale Slash!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Two Flying Slash flew out, cutting the enormous sea beast into three pieces, perfectly avoiding its internal organs.

"Yes, I really am a genius," Xi Yan said with a chuckle.

After saying that, Xi Yan used Water Release Technique to clean up the sea beast's internal organs and blood, flushing the excess into the sea.

Finally, he took out the Sealing Scroll and put the Sea Beast Meat inside.

"Bang!"

A puff of white smoke flashed by, and the scroll returned to its original size, which Xi Yan then placed back into his Ninja Tool Bag.

"This is not a place to stay for long..."

Standing on the sea, Xi Yan looked down at the water below.

This place has been stained crimson with the blood of the Sea Kings, and it may not be long before it attracts even more Sea Kings.

Although he wasn't afraid of this thing, killing too many would be pointless and would only waste Chakra, so it was best to leave as soon as possible.

As he pondered this, Xi Yan sheathed the Kusanagi Sword and returned to the ship.

"Um?"

"Why do you all look so serious?" Xi Yan asked, puzzled.

Glancing at his companions' expressions, Xi Yan looked at Camie again and noticed that the little girl was holding a Den Den Mushi... Was that the reason?

"Camie's friend has been arrested."

"Damn it, my Takoyaki!"

Seeing Luffy still thinking about food, Sanji opened his shark mouth and roared, "Is this the time to be thinking about Takoyaki?!"

Can't you even consider other people's feelings, you jerk?!

"Arrested?"

Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, then his expression darkened.

Nami's words made Xi Yan think of a possibility: Camie's friend might have been captured and taken away as an ornamental fish.

After all... she's a mermaid!

"I'm sorry, Luffy-chan..." Camie said apologetically, "We'll have to deal with the Takoyaki next time. I need to go save my friend first."

"Ah... next time..."

"Hello!"

Seeing Luffy's disappointed face, Sanji didn't know what to say.

"You're going to rescue her?" Xi Yan looked Camie up and down, a complicated expression on his face. "Are you sure?"

A mermaid who has been eaten by sea monsters more than twenty times underwater... does she really have the ability to save people?

Perhaps they went there to deliver vegetables?

"This is a trap," Nico Robin said.

Judging from the current situation, the other party's intention is to lure this Miss Mermaid over to rescue people.

Going alone... you'll most likely get caught.

Even if it's a trap, I'm going!

Seeing Camie's extremely serious expression, everyone's expressions changed, clearly not expecting this little girl to have such awareness.

"In that case..." Nami walked over and looked at Camie, saying, "Camie, as a mermaid, you must know how to get to Fish-Man Island, right?"

"Um!"

"Alright." Nami smiled and said, "You tell us how to get to Fish-Man Island, and in exchange, we'll help you rescue people, how about that?"

"Huh?!"

"Is it okay, Nami-qin?!"

Camie stared at Nami in shock, never expecting that Nami would actually help her save someone.

Keep in mind, this is only the first time we've met...

"Sure, Luffy, you can do it, right?"

"Ah, sure," Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.

It wasn't just because he thought Camie was a good person, but more importantly... he could find a way to get to Fish-Man Island!

This is extremely important for the Straw Hat Pirates.

"That's great, thank you so much!" Camie said excitedly. "After we rescue them, we'll treat you to Takoyaki!"

"You?"

"Ah, this time we went to rescue the owner of the Takoyaki Shop," Camie explained. "I work at his shop."

"His Takoyaki is the best in the world!"

As she spoke, Camie spread her arms wide, making an exaggerated gesture, as if this would make everyone understand how delicious the other person's Takoyaki was.

"That..."

"This is a big deal!!" Luffy excitedly interrupted Nami, saying, "Those despicable guys dared to Takoyaki..."

"Brothers, we'll risk our lives to save the Takoyaki!"

"Profound!!"

Takoyaki!

Takoyaki!

Seeing her companions with their arms around each other's shoulders, Nami smiled, then looked at Camie and said, "Let's go, tell me where that place is, and we'll head off to help you rescue them."

Camie nodded, then noticed the changes on the sea and exclaimed in shock, "Eh?!"

"Where's that sea monster from before?"

"I've put it away."

"It's... it's been put away?!"

Camie stared at Xi Yan in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

So what they said earlier was true; they really could capture the sea monster?

This... this is amazing!

"Wow, that's amazing! How did you do that?"

"Because... I'm Ninja ~"

Camie looked at Xi Yan with some confusion, clearly not knowing what Ninja was, but Pappagu showed a shocked expression.

"You're Ninja?"

"Does Pappagu know?"

"This is a legendary Ninja only exists in pictures..." Pappagu swallowed hard and said, "I never thought I'd actually encounter a real one."

"Wow, that's amazing?!" Camie exclaimed in shock.

They're actually legendary Ninja?

Anyone who can be described as legendary is certainly no ordinary person.

At this moment, Xi Yan's image gradually grew taller in Camie's eyes.

"Mr. Ninja!" Pappagu exclaimed excitedly, "After you go to Fish-Man Island, please be sure to visit my shop!"

Seeing the excited look on Pappagu's face, Xi Yan smiled and said, "Alright, I'll be bothering you then."

You're too kind!

"It seems Xi Yan is more popular than we thought~" Nami laughed.

"After all, they're Ninja."

Nico Robin and Nami exchanged a glance, then laughed.

Ninja and such... are indeed very attractive to men.

"We can talk about being guests later. Let's get to the rescue first."

"Profound!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the location of the Flying Fish Riders.

"Ugh... that damned Straw Hat Pirates!!"

"That damned Black Leg Sanji!"

Duval, sitting in his seat, clutched Sanji's Wanted Order in his hand, veins bulging on his arm.

If it weren't for Black Leg Sanji, would he have been hunted down by the Marines and bounty hunters?

You have to understand, back in the day, he was just a local bully!

As a result... as a result, just because he looked like the Wanted Order, he was mistaken for Black Leg Sanji and relentlessly chased after.

If he hadn't later thought of covering his face with something, he probably would have been killed!

Thinking about this, Duval became even angrier.

"Bump!"

With a punch, Duval smashed the wooden plank beside him, his face filled with rage.

Seeing their boss so angry, the others sighed silently. What could they do? Their boss was just unlucky.

Just then, Ma Ke Luo came over with Hatchan, a fawning expression on his face.

"Lord Duval, I have good news for you," Ma Ke Luo said, leaning closer to Duval. "We just used this Fish-Man as bait and lured that mermaid."

"Perhaps it won't be long before they come knocking on our door."

As they spoke, Ma Ke Luo placed Hatchan in front of Duval.

"Mermaid..."

Duval glanced at Ma Ke Luo and said, "Speaking of which, you should be Fish-Man too, right?"

"But that doesn't stop us from doing this kind of thing, does it?"

Ma Ke Luo chuckled, not thinking he had done anything wrong.

Since the goal is to make money, naturally we'll target the more valuable items!

"Heh." Duval sneered, then waved his hand and said, "You guys, go check out the situation."

"Yes!"

After watching his subordinates leave, Duval once again retreated into his own world.

'That damned Black Leg Sanji!'
