Terrifying High-pressure Water Line, the Ninjutsu Ability That Shocked Camie

"Wow, that's amazing, Camie! You can actually command a school of fish," Xi Yan said. "In a sense, that's a kind of superpower, isn't it?"

Looking at the school of fish leading the way in front of the Thousand Sunny, Xi Yan's face was full of emotion.

Perhaps this is the innate talent of the Fish-Man Race?

"I guess this is a unique talent of our Fish-Man Race," Camie said with an embarrassed smile. "But I can only communicate with these small fish."

"There are also those that can communicate with large fish?"

"Yes!" Camie nodded seriously. "I heard that Jinbe Boss can communicate with whale sharks!"

"That's incredibly impressive!"

As she spoke, Camie even waved her arm dramatically, which made Xi Yan laugh.

"Mr. Xi Yan, Mr. Xi Yan!"

"Just call me Xi Yan."

"Ah... Xi Yan," Pappagu leaned closer and asked, "What Ninjutsu do you know?"

"Does he have the Clone Technique?!"

"Can he use Water Release?!"

Seeing Pappagu getting more and more excited as he spoke, Xi Yan felt somewhat helpless. Sure enough, it was the same question again.

"When I was dealing with that fish at sea just now, I used Water Release, didn't I?"

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention over there just now..."

After receiving the news that Hatchan Camie been captured, Kemi's entire attention was focused on this area, and he didn't notice the changes on the sea surface.

"It's alright, you'll see it when we meet your friends to rescue them," Xi Yan said with a smile. "Don't worry."

"OK!"

Pappagu nodded earnestly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"The Xi Yan-qin is so wonderful~"

"Relative..."

Xi Yan glanced at Camie and said, "Is that your catchphrase?"

The phrase "dear" gave Xi Yan a very subtle feeling.

"Yes!"

"Hmm... it's quite interesting~"

"Miss Camie ~"

Sanji wriggled over, carrying a plate, and said in a fawning manner, "Please try this, it's my special strawberry cake~"

"Strawberry tart?"

Camie curiously picked one up and took a bite, then her eyes lit up. "So delicious!"

"Thank you, Sanji!"

Ah~

"To be able to serve Miss Camie, I would die without regret..."

"Then you should just go die already," Zoro said disdainfully.

"What did you say?!"

Sanji, his face contorted with bulging veins, handed the plate in his hand to Xi Yan, gesturing for him to share it with Pappagu.

Then, filled with rage, he charged at Zoro and they fought again on the deck.

"Forehead..."

Taking the strawberry cake from Xi Yan, Pappagu pointed at the two people with a complicated expression and said, "What's going on with them...?"

These two just had a fight not long ago, why are they fighting again now?

"Well, this is pretty much their daily routine," Xi Yan said calmly. "You'll get used to it."

Pappagu glanced at the calm Xi Yan, then at the others whose expressions remained unchanged, and fell into deep thought.

This... is really a strange way of getting along.

After finishing his food, Pappagu said, "Thank you for the meal!"

"For our chef, finishing all the food is the best way to thank him."

Is that so?

Upon hearing this, Pappagu glanced at the tray that Xi Yan had placed on the ground, thought for a moment, then walked over again, picked up a piece, and ate it.

Seeing this, Sanji's Kakuzu curled into a smile.

However, the price for being distracted was getting punched by Zoro.

"Asshole!"

Sanji roared and engaged Zoro in battle once more.

"Sister Camie, why aren't you eating?" Merry asked as she walked over. "Don't you have an appetite?"

"Hmm... I'm a little worried."

"Worry?"

"Hatchan's voice sounds very weak; I wonder if he's been abused..."

"Don't worry, Camie." Pappagu swallowed the biscuit in his hand and continued, "That guy is very strong, he'll be fine."

' Hatchan?'

Hearing Camie's words, a hint of doubt appeared in Xi Yan's eyes.

Could it be that Hatchan from the East Blue?

Xi Yan glanced at Nami, whose expression hadn't changed at all, and figured it must be a case of the same name; otherwise, Nami wouldn't have shown no reaction whatsoever.

"I was just about to ask that question," Merry said. "Why did they kidnap Camie's friend?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and turned to look at them.

"For sale."

"Selling...?"

"Yes," Pappagu nodded. "In the Sabaody Archipelago, the business of selling people as slaves is quite popular."

"And the price of mermaids and Fish-Man is many times that of humans!"

"That's why they're targeting us."

As Pappagu explained, the expressions of the others gradually turned cold.

Clearly, everyone hates human traffickers.

"That's really going too far..."

"Isn't anyone going to do anything about this?" Nami asked. "Or is it that there are no Marines here?"

"The business of slave Auction House is protected by law."

Upon hearing this, Nami's expression immediately darkened. She never expected that this kind of business could be protected.

"This kind of thing is actually protected by law?!" Xi Yan exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yes."

Xi Yan opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Why?

He didn't understand.

Has the world really deteriorated to this extent?

Bribed navy, pirates who burn, kill, and plunder, rampant slave markets... what the hell kind of world is this?!

"That's how it is in the Sabaody Archipelago ..." Pappagu said helplessly, "So if you get caught by these guys, hell might be waiting for you."

Hearing Pappagu's words, the possibility unconsciously surfaced in everyone's minds, and then they said in unison, "Then I'd rather die."

"Don't worry, Camie, we'll help you get them out," Xi Yan reassured her.

"Um..."

"That being said, you must still be careful," Pappagu said seriously. "This matter involves a Kidnapping Group called the Flying Fish Riders, and they are very powerful."

"Very strong?"

"Yes, this is a newly established Kidnapping Group with immense power. Once they target you, there's basically no escape."

"I've heard that quite a few pirates have already been captured by them."

"Catch pirates?"

Franky exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that a bounty hunter?"

If that's the case, then the Flying Fish Riders are indeed quite special.

"No, they also send the people they capture to the Auction House."

"Since you enjoy catching pirates... then why are you the ones being targeted?"

"Perhaps... it's because of those three Fish-Man, Ma Ke Luo," Pappagu said after a moment's thought.

"Fish-Man..."

Zoro frowned and said, "Kidnapping their own people...?"

It seems that this kind of thing happens to people of all races.

"Don't worry, we're very strong."

"Then I'm relieved..."

"Tell me about this Flying Fish Riders," Xi Yan said. "The more details, the better."

"I don't know much either," Pappagu shook his head and said, "I only know their names and some of their deeds."

"Oh, right, their leader is called Duval, a masked man who looks like he's looking for someone."

"I heard they're going to check all the ships that pass through here, but so far they haven't found any."

"Many people are curious about who he is looking for, but the Flying Fish Riders are tight-lipped and have not revealed any information."

"That's all the information I have."

In the end, Pappagu somewhat helpless.

If he were on Fish-Man Island, he would have considerable influence, and obtaining some intelligence wouldn't be a problem.

But it's useless on land; it's no different from an ordinary starfish.

Oh, right, he has one more function than a starfish: he can talk.

"They're going to inspect every single ship?" Luffy said, somewhat surprised. "Who exactly is this person looking for...?"

"What kind of deep-seated hatred could this be?"

Sanji was also somewhat surprised. Searching for every passing ship was no small task, and if they encountered a strong opponent, they could be killed.

Even so, the other side still didn't give up... Just how much hatred must there be to support them in doing this?

"This grudge is definitely not small..." Xi Yan sighed, "The other side is probably capturing pirates here in order to find them."

At this point, a thought crossed Xi Yan's mind, and he subconsciously said, "Perhaps... they're looking for some kind of pirate?"

"Possibly."

"However... whoever they want to find is none of our business."

"That's true."

"Anyway... Camie, we'll definitely help you rescue Takoyaki!" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.

"Um!"

Just then, the fish on the sea surface began to churn violently, as if they had sensed something incredibly terrifying.

"What's wrong?"

"Is the world about to change?" Chopper's expression changed. "Nami?"

Clearly, the previous Snake-shaped Sea Current had left him with considerable trauma.

"No."

Nami looked up at the Sky Walk, "The climate hasn't changed."

Her skin did not feel any changes in temperature or humidity, which meant that the weather would not suddenly change drastically.

"We're already within the radiation range of the Sabaody Archipelago, so the weather won't suddenly change," Pappagu explained.

"What happened?"

Let me see.

Camie jumped up, went to the side of the boat, and listened carefully to the sounds of the fish. After a moment, she said, "They say this is the best they can take us..."

"Oh no, it's the Flying Fish Riders!"

"Where is it?!"

Luffy immediately rushed to the bow of the ship, his eyes fixed on the sea ahead, but he did not spot any suspicious targets.

"In the sky!"

"Weng~"

As Xi Yan finished speaking, the distinctive sound of the Flying Fish Motorcycle came down from above.

"It's real?!" Usopp exclaimed, staring at the sky in shock. "How can they fly?!"

Could they be three Devil Fruit User?

"Because they ride on special flying fish," Camie said. "These fish can fly for five minutes after breaking out of the water."

"There are fish like this?!" Luffy's eyes lit up. "Amazing!"

"Damn it, is this the time to admire you?!"

As the three flying fish drew closer, Xi Yan appeared beside Luffy in a flash, squinting as he said, "An informant delivered right to our doorstep..."

To Xi Yan's surprise, the three flying fish flew away immediately after arriving above the Thousand Sunny.

"It... it flew away?!"

Could they not be here to fight, but rather as scouts?

"Hahaha, this time we've really reaped a great harvest!"

Sitting on the flying fish, Lor exclaimed excitedly, "I thought there was only one mermaid, but I never expected to run into the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Quick, go back and tell the boss we've found the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Wouldn't it be better if we launched an attack now?" the Bearded Man said.

"Idiot, the Straw Hat Pirates ' total bounty exceeds 1 billion Beli. How could the three of us possibly defeat them?" Lor cursed.

Even if they threw all the bombs off the Flying Fish Motorcycle, they still wouldn't be able to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates.

It would be better to take the message back.

"All right..."

The Bearded Man sighed; there was nothing else he could do now.

Just then, a High-pressure Water Line shot out from behind and struck the Flying Fish Motorcycle beneath the Bearded Man with pinpoint accuracy.

"Puff!"

Just like cutting tofu, the fish's body was easily cut open.

Seeing this, Pappagu exclaimed excitedly, "Is this the legendary Water Release Technique?"

Pappagu watched Xi Yan's retreating figure with excitement. If the timing hadn't been so bad, he would have wanted to take a picture with him.

Camie stared at Xi Yan in shock; it was the first time she had ever seen a human who could manipulate water.

"That's right, this is Water Release Technique."

Xi Yan, having put away his Ninjutsu, said with a smile.

Hearing Xi Yan say this, Pappagu became even more excited.

"Hey, Xi Yan, why did you kill the fish?!" Luffy exclaimed. "I wanted that fish!"

"Idiot, is this the time to worry about this?" Sanji said irritably. "Let's catch them first!"

Once we find their hideout, we can get as much as we want.

"Sanji is right," Xi Yan said. "Once we find their lair, we can catch the fish..."

Before Xi Yan could finish speaking, he saw the fat man riding the flying fish suddenly swoop down, grab the Bearded Man, and then rush upwards without hesitation at an extremely fast speed!

"Um?"

"It can run this fast even carrying the weight of two people?" Xi Yan asked, somewhat surprised.

Perhaps fearing another attack, the opponent threw a Smoke Screen, completely obscuring the view of that area, and then quickly ran diagonally upwards at full speed!

After the smoke and dust cleared, the person had vanished.

"Tsk, that's fast."

"It seems these three are some kind of scouts," Zoro said.

They didn't attack them... clearly they were there to gather intelligence.

"Not necessarily. They might have come to capture Camie," Franky said. "They just ran away because they spotted our pirate ship."

Putting everything else aside, their title of having a total bounty exceeding one billion is something most people wouldn't dare to easily provoke.

Just then, Merry raised her hand and said, "Hey, I vaguely heard them say 'We've found the Straw Hat Pirates '..."

Xi Yan glanced at Merry in surprise. How did she hear that?

Could this be a special ability of the Ship Spirit?

Thinking about this, Xi Yan fell into deep thought.

Franky looked completely bewildered. So, the other side really was after them?

"No, wait a minute," Usopp said incredulously, "So, the person this so-called Duval is looking for is our Straw Hat Pirates?"

Upon hearing this, everyone wore delighted expressions.

"Does anyone here... know that guy?"

"I don't know him..."

After exchanging glances, the group immediately fell into deep thought.

Clearly, none of them remembered offending such a person.

"If we don't know each other... then why is he blocking our way here?"

No one could answer Chopper's question, because it was something everyone wanted to know.

"Who cares?" Luffy said. "We'll find out once we find that guy."

"That makes sense," Xi Yan agreed.

Although they didn't know why that guy was blocking their way here, given their connection, they had to go and check it out.

"Camie, which direction are they going?" Nami asked.

Now that the fish are no longer guiding them, they have lost their sense of direction.

"Just go straight ahead," Camie said, pointing directly ahead. "It's right there."

Upon arriving at this area of the sea, Camie already knew where to go, which could be considered a special ability of hers as a mermaid.

"Merry ~"

"Understood!" he replied.

Under Merry's control, the Thousand Sunny began to move rapidly, rushing straight ahead!

The others standing on the deck silently gazed ahead.

At this moment, they really wanted to know: what was the purpose of the man who had waited for them here for so long?
