Katakuri's Fury: What Are You Trying to Do to My Adorable Younger Sister?!

"Hateful!"

Without a second thought, Kid immediately slammed both arms together, intending to crush this bastard who dared to approach him to death!

In response, Xi Yan simply channeled his Haki into his fists and then slammed them to the sides!

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

Kid:???

Kid was completely stunned as he watched the mechanical arm being destroyed once again.

"You..."

"Noisy!"

Xi Yan didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense. He immediately wrapped his Haki around his feet and then kicked Kid hard.

"Bump!"

"Puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood Kid, like a cannonball, flew rapidly back to where he had just run from!

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

This time, the crater was even bigger!!

"It feels like I kicked something strange," Xi Yan said, frowning.

"Kid!"

Seeing Kid fall into the pit, Kira and the others quickly ran over, their faces filled with worry.

Xi Yan didn't pay any attention to that, but turned to Galette and said, "Galette, after we kill this guy, can we get his Devil Fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Kira's eyes immediately turned cold. He turned and glared coldly at Xi Yan, wishing he could skin him alive.

How dare they even try to get their hands on his brother's Devil Fruit?

Court death!

"It's true that Devil Fruit User are reborn at sea after death, but whether you can actually obtain them depends on luck," Galette said, shrugging. "Because nobody knows where Devil Fruit are reborn."

"Perhaps it will be nearby, perhaps it will be at sea."

Everyone wants a powerful Devil Fruit, but the problem is... even killing the user doesn't guarantee you'll get Devil Fruit; it might end up benefiting someone else.

Therefore... no one will hunt down ability users.

Of course, this excludes cases of enmity or conflict.

"I see," Xi Yan said helplessly. "That's a pity."

He thought the Magnet-Magnet Fruit was pretty good; even if he didn't eat it himself, he could let Franky, the Cyborg, eat it.

This guy can turn himself into Cyborg; he's definitely not stupid.

Given time, it's possible that they might be able to unleash the full power of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit.

"Hehe, you could kill him first, maybe then you'll get it?" Galette laughed. "Of course, I can help you look for it too."

She was willing to use all her power to find Xi Yan if he wanted it.

Perhaps in the near future, she will be able to obtain this Devil Fruit.

"Yes, that makes sense," Xi Yan nodded.

In any case, killing the other party first is the right thing to do.

Well, who knows, maybe the other person is already dead.

"Hey, Kid, are you alright?"

"Hey, Captain!!"

"It's so noisy!"

Kid said with a ferocious expression, "I'm not dead yet."

As he spoke, he stood up, glaring fiercely at Xi Yan in the distance, and said, "Damn Ninja, you almost killed me..."

If he hadn't had the sudden inspiration at the last moment to try and counter the opponent's attack with magnetism, that kick would have knocked him unconscious!

This guy's strength did indeed exceed his expectations.

'But... why does my magnetic force weaken so rapidly after it comes into contact with the opponent's fist...?'

What kind of ability user is the other party?

"As expected of a contestant with a bounty of over 300 million," Xi Yan said. "In that case, let's continue."

"Are you mocking me?" Kid said coldly.

I didn't say that.

"It doesn't matter," Kid said. "But speaking of which, I should thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to discover the special uses of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit."

If it weren't for that punch from the other party, he Truth turning magnetism into a defensive method.

"So what?" Xi Yan said indifferently.

What happens if you discover Devil Fruit ability? How do you use it, and what are the consequences?

He really didn't believe this guy could change the Magnetic Field field.

"This calm demeanor is really infuriating..." Kid looked coldly at Xi Yan, then took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Oh?"

"You've calmed down now."

"Anger won't change anything, I know that." After saying Kid glanced at the long sword at Xi Yan's waist and said, "Speaking of which, you're Ninja ... why don't you use your unique Ninja techniques?"

"You probably don't fight with your fists, do you?"

Although he didn't know if the other party was the kind of Ninja who possessed escape techniques, Ninja shouldn't fight with their fists.

At least... that's not how Ninja portrayed in popular lore.

That's my business.

"Click."

This sentence directly provoked Kid, causing the veins on his face to bulge.

'Does he think I'm not good enough for him...?'

What a... arrogant bastard!

"Fine, don't blame me if you die."

After Kid finished speaking, he prepared to make his move.

However, before he could activate his Devil Fruit ability, he noticed something flying towards him from the sky.

"Buzz~"

"Um?"

"What is it?"

Kid stared at the approaching object with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Are there any other means of transportation in the Sabaody Archipelago that can fly that fast?

"This is... Flying Fish Motorcycle?"

Xi Yan was somewhat surprised. Wasn't this the kind of vehicle that Duval's gang used? What were these guys doing here?

Wait... that's Nami sitting up there!!

Why is Nami with them?

"Hey, Xi Yan!!" Nami shouted from her Flying Fish Motorcycle, "Something's happened!"

Upon hearing Nami's words, Xi Yan immediately frowned.

"Something happened?"

Could it be that Marine Admiral besiege them?

Galette also frowned, stood up from the tree roots, and walked towards Xi Yan.

Soon, the Flying Fish Motorcycle approached the ground, Nami jumped off.

"Hey, Xi Yan, something's happened." Nami said to Xi Yan with a worried look on her face.

"Don't rush, speak slowly," Xi Yan said. "Was it Marine Admiral to surround and attack us?"

"Cut."

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Kid's face showed disdain.

Marine Admiral to encircle and suppress?

How could he even think of that? Does he even deserve it?

Even if his bounty is 400 million, it's not worth sending Marine Admiral to hunt him down.

Xi Yan ignored the guy. Fighting was important, but his friends were more important!

"It's Merry and Camie, they're both missing!" Nami said anxiously. "They might be sold into slavery. Come with me quickly, we need to find them."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan's face immediately darkened.

"They were kidnapped?"

"What is Luffy, that bastard, good for?!"

With this bastard by their side, how were two people still managed to be kidnapped?

What on earth is that bastard Luffy doing?!

"I don't know either, but now is not the time to dwell on such things," Nami said. "Let's go."

As they spoke, Nami beckoned to the Flying Fish Motorcycle in the air, signaling it to come down and pick them up.

"The slave trade was indeed prevalent in the Sabaody Archipelago," Galette said as she approached. "If you weren't careful, you could be captured and sold."

After speaking, Galette paused for a moment, then said apologetically, "Xi Yan, I'm sorry, I don't have an intelligence network here..."

Their intelligence networks are spread throughout the New World, and they won't focus their efforts on the Sabaody Archipelago.

This is why, after landing, she immediately ordered her subordinates to search for the Straw Hat Pirates.

"It's alright, you don't need to apologize," Xi Yan said.

This matter has nothing to do with the other party, and there's no way to obtain the information, so there's naturally no need to apologize to him.

"How about I contact my brother..."

"No need, I have a way," Xi Yan said.

His first thought was to contact Shakky-jie to see if she could find any trace of Merry and Camie.

Given their intelligence capabilities in the Sabaody Archipelago, there shouldn't be any problems.

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Nami's eyes immediately lit up with hope.

It's great that they have a solution!

"Hey, are you guys planning to leave?!" Kid said coldly to Xi Yan, "I didn't say you could leave!"

As he spoke, Kid raised his hand and used magnetic force to launch the short knife in his hand, heading straight for the Flying Fish Motorcycle high above!

Lor was startled and immediately changed direction, barely dodging the attack.

Then, he opened his shark mouth and roared, "Damn it, this is dangerous!"

If he had reacted even a fraction slower, his flying fish would have been killed!!

If we lose the flying fish at this point, we're truly doomed.

Kid simply chuckled coldly and said nothing.

"I don't have time to waste with you right now," Xi Yan said to Kid. "If you Truth want to fight, I'll come back and fight you after I've dealt with this matter."

"That won't do." Kid shook his head and said, "What happens to your partner is none of my business."

"You either defeat me, or I kill you."

As he spoke, Kid raised his right hand and began to condense scrap metal.

Xi Yan's expression darkened as he said, "If that's the case..."

"Leave him to me."

Hearing Galette's words, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then turned to look at Galette and said, "You..."

"I've already said, I'm not just a pretty face," Galette laughed. "While I can't help you with intelligence, I can still stop this guy."

"How arrogant!" Kid spat and said, "You think you can?"

"Fine, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you... Just die, you lot!"

"Whoosh~"

A spinning top made of scrap metal appeared in Kid's hand, then spun rapidly toward the three of them.

"Magnetic Spinning Bomb!"

The moment he launched his attack, a large amount of butter began to appear in Galette's hand, which she then flung violently to the side.

"Butter Flowing Wall!"

"Bump!"

The spinning top's attack began to deviate rapidly the moment it hit, eventually sliding smoothly to the side!

"What?"

Kid was stunned as he watched the woman who had sent him flying by his attack.

It's one thing that the Ninja could withstand his attack, but why could this seemingly frail woman do the same?

However, Galette ignored Kid and instead looked at Xi Yan with a smile, saying, "See? I'm not just a pretty face."

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

As Galette finished speaking, the spinning attack landed on the ground with a loud bang.

A gust of wind blew in, causing Galette's cloak to flutter, making her look rather dashing.

"That's amazing..."

Nami stared at Galette in shock and asked, "Who are you?"

Is this a friend Xi Yan just met?

"I?"

"I'm Xi Yan's fiancée~" Galette said with a smile, "You must be Cat Burglar, nice to meet you."

Nami:???

fiancée?

Does Xi Yan have a fiancée?

"This matter is rather complicated to explain, let's talk about it later." After saying that, Xi Yan glanced at Galette and asked, "Are you sure it's okay?"

"Nature."

Galette raised her hand, covering her fist with Armament Haki, and said, "Don't forget, I can use Haki too."

Perhaps fearing that Xi Yan might still be worried about her safety, Galette continued, "Also... judging by the time, my brother should be arriving soon."

"So you can go and do your thing, leave this to me."

Xi Yan was taken aback when he heard Galette say that.

' Katakuri...'

That's definitely not a problem.

Galette's strength also seems considerable, especially considering her brother has a bounty of over 1 billion.

Taking down this Kid shouldn't be a problem at all!

But... Galette isn't just showing off, is she? He doesn't want her to get into any trouble because of him.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan said, "You're not just putting on a brave face, are you?"

Galette understood Xi Yan's meaning and nodded, saying, "Please trust me!"

Seeing Galette's earnest gaze, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

After saying that, Xi Yan picked up Nami without hesitation and quickly jumped towards the Flying Fish Motorcycle in the air, landing precisely on Lor's Flying Fish Motorcycle.

"As expected of Ninja," Lor remarked.

Even with someone on top of him, he can jump this high... His jumping ability is truly astonishing.

"Damn it, did I say you could leave?!" Kid yelled.

Just as he was speaking, the Tekkai on the ground began to tremble, clearly intending to use it to attack the flying fish and knock him down!

"I told you, your opponent is me!" Galette said.

"Butter Restraint!"

Several circles made of butter flew rapidly toward Kid and his companions.

This is a special Butter Circle created by Devil Fruit ability; once someone gets caught in it, they will be controlled by her.

If they could capture everyone at once, her brother wouldn't need to intervene.

"Cut."

Kid spat and quickly retreated to create distance.

Although he didn't know what strange effects this ability had, he had no interest in taking the opponent's attacks.

After all... it's incredibly foolish to use your own body to test someone else's abilities.

However... while he managed to dodge it, his subordinates weren't so lucky.

"Ah?!"

"What... what the hell is this thing?"

Mike's face was filled with terror as he looked at the Butter Circle on his hands.

"Damn it, I can't break free!"

Just as he was speaking, his hands were suddenly raised above his head, and his body began to spiral out of control.

Mike:???

What's wrong with him?

"You damned woman, what have you done?!" Kid roared.

"You'll find out soon enough," Galette sneered. "Come here..."

The next moment, Mike, who was bound, actually moved towards her.

Kid:???

"Hey, Mike, what are you doing, you idiot?"

"Captain, I can't move!" Mike cried in terror. "I can't control my body."

"I can't break free..."

Kid's expression darkened. What kind of bizarre Devil Fruit ability was this?

Just as Kid was thinking, Kira rushed forward and slashed at the Butter Circle with his sword.

"Pfft~"

The sharp blade pierced through the butter without hindrance, but failed to cut it in half.

Kira:???

"What the hell is this thing?"

Kira looked completely bewildered. His weapon couldn't cut through it?

Kira glanced at Mike, who was still moving forward, gritted his teeth, put away his weapon, grabbed Mike's body, and forcibly dragged him down.

Galette wasn't angry at all; she had simply been demonstrating her strength to the other party.

A smile appeared on Galette's face as she glanced at Xi Yan and the others who had flown quite a distance away.

"I guess I could say I've... been of some help."

"Cut..."

Kid spat. His opponent was already out of his attack range; even he couldn't catch the pursuing Ninja now.

In that case... we'll just have to get rid of this eyesore!

Thinking of this, Kid said, "Killing her will teach that Ninja a lesson!"

"Profound!!"

Kid's companions immediately roared, grabbed their weapons, and charged towards Galette.

However, Galette's expression did not change in the face of this scene; instead, she calmly lowered her hand.

Kid:???

What does this mean?

The next moment...

"Elder brother!!!"

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

As soon as Galette finished speaking, Katakuri's massive body landed in front of Galette with a thunderous roar.

"What are you planning to do to my cute little sister?!"

Katakuri stared coldly at Kid, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent!

At this moment, Katakuri's heart was burning with rage.

It wasn't just because that bastard Xi Yan rejected his lovely sister, but also because this newcomer in front of him planned to kill her!

Xi Yan can't move for the time being, then... let's take it out on this bastard in front of us.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xi Yan murmured to himself, 'This... is Katakuri...?'

Now that the person had appeared, he could finally relax. He then turned his gaze away and left with his companion.

As for sparring with the other party?

Let's talk about it later!

And who are you?

Kid frowned as he looked at Katakuri, showing no fear despite the latter's enormous size.

After all... he'd encountered quite a few big, dumb guys along the way, and they'd all eventually fallen in front of him.

Ultimately, a person's strength has nothing to do with their height.

"Captain, I know him!" The Fire Breather looked at Katakuri in shock and said, "He's a member of Four Emperors Crew, Katakuri with a bounty of 1,057 million Beli!"

Why would such an important person... be here?!

Shouldn't they stay in the New World?

"The Four Emperors Crew ' crew?" Kid paused for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful!"

"To meet someone like you without even having to go to the New World... that's fantastic!"

At this moment, Kid had already used Katakuri as a stepping stone.

After all... he's a man destined to become the Pirate King, so naturally he wouldn't fear a mere Four Emperors!

"What a reckless newbie..."

Galette looked at Kid as if he were an idiot. Did he not understand what a bounty of over a billion dollars meant?

This is the second-in-command of their pirate crew!!

"Galette, step back," Katakuri said.

"Clear."

Without the slightest hesitation, Galette decisively retreated to the rear, handing the battlefield over to her brother.

After his sister retreated, Katakuri looked at the crowd in front of him and said coldly, "You... all come at me at once!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the location of Auction House No. 1.

"What a bumper harvest today!" Peter Man said, squinting. "Hopefully, we can get a good price."

After saying that, Peter Man glanced at the back door of Auction House Number One and decisively walked over.

Upon seeing Peter Man, the staff naturally opened the door for him and let him in.

Having collaborated so many times, they are already very familiar with each other.

"Oh?"

"Peter Man?"

Vik, who was in charge of handling slaves, glanced at Peter Man, who was carrying two sacks, with surprise and said, "You... have some goods to sell?"

"Yes." Peter Man nodded. "I'm not late, am I?"

"Anyway, it's been going on for a while now," Vik said. "The auction is about to start today."

"It's fine as long as it's not open."

Peter Man put the sack on the ground and said, "Come on, let's inspect the goods."

"Hey, today's a bit special, there are Giant Clan slaves here, your goods might not sell..." Before Vik could finish speaking, he saw what the person peeking out of the sack looked like.

"This is... a mermaid?!"

Vik looked at Peter Man excitedly and said, "Where did you get this? It's high-end stuff!"

So many years have passed, and they've only seen a handful of Fish-Man Race here. How did Peter Man manage to get his hands on one?

"That's a secret," Peter Man said. "Vik, don't break the rules."

"Hahaha, that's natural!"

After finishing speaking, Vik glanced at the other sack and asked, "Is this... also a mermaid?"

"No."

Peter Man opened the sack, revealing the little creature inside, and said, "This little guy has pointy ears, and looks like it belongs to some special race, so I just grabbed it."

"Why isn't it moving?" Vik frowned. "Is it dead?"

Peter Man isn't someone who doesn't understand the rules, so what's wrong with him this time?

"No, she's still alive," Peter Man said.

"So what's going on?"

"He's just dizzy," Peter Man explained. "Don't let his small size fool you, he's surprisingly strong."

"To prevent her from making a fuss and ruining things, we have no choice but to make her faint first."

"Don't worry, she'll wake up in about half an hour at most."

"Half an hour...?"

Vik calculated the time, then nodded and said, "Hmm, we should make it in time."

"Okay, thank you for your help then~"

"Don't worry, this isn't our first time working together, we'll definitely make you satisfied!"

After exchanging a glance, the two burst into laughter.

Clearly, they have complete confidence in the mermaids that have appeared this time!

' Merry...'

Camie, standing to the side, looked at the unconscious Merry, tears streaming down her face.

Will someone come to rescue them?

For a moment, Camie felt a sense of despair.
