Xi Yan's Fury, Blood Flowing Like a River!

Soon, thanks to the efforts of Luo Er and the others, Xi Yan and his group successfully reached the waters near No. 1 Auction House.

After getting ashore, Nami looked at the huge building in the distance and said, "This must be it."

"That's right," Lor said.

"Thank you," Xi Yan said, "Don't forget what I asked you to do."

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

Lor nodded solemnly, then led his men away without looking back.

"I wonder how Merry and the others are doing..." Chopper said worriedly.

"I don't know about Camie's condition, but Merry's condition probably isn't much better," Xi Yan said.

"Why?"

"Because Merry didn't use Reverse Summoning Technique!!"

Upon hearing this, Nami and Chopper's expressions changed.

As members of the Straw Hat Pirates, they were well aware of Merry's abilities and knew that she could summon Xi Yan.

As a result... there's still no word from them... Does this mean something bad has happened to Merry?

Thinking about this, the two of them felt a little heavy-hearted.

Just then, Franky and Sanji arrived.

"Hey everyone!"

"How's the situation?"

"We haven't gone in yet," Nami said. "However... Xi Yan said that Merry's condition might not be good."

"Click~"

Upon hearing Nami's words, Sanji's face immediately contorted with rage.

"If those bastards dare to lay a hand on Merry, I'll kick them to death!" Sanji roared.

"That's right!"

Franky's face was also filled with murderous intent.

"Let's go, let's go take a look first," Nami said.

"Aren't we Luffy and the others?"

"Duval said the auction has already started." Sanji a deep breath and said, "We don't have time to wait for them, let's go check it out first."

If those two people have already been sold, then they need to be prepared to snatch them back.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go grab them!"

"We can't just attack directly; that would easily provoke the Celestial Dragons," Hatchan said, stopping Franky.

Although the Straw Hat Pirates are prepared to fight the Celestial Dragons, it's best to avoid provoking them if possible, otherwise they might attract the Marine Admiral!

That kind of monster... is simply beyond their capabilities to handle.

"Then..."

Before Nami could finish speaking, she saw Xi Yan walk away into the distance without saying a word.

"Hey, Xi Yan, what are you doing?"

"I plan to sneak in and check things out," Xi Yan said, stopping in his tracks. "If we can steal the person out, we won't need to attend this auction."

After saying that, Xi Yan said no more and continued walking forward.

The group stared blankly at Xi Yan's departing figure for a moment, then Franky said, "Xi Yan is right, he's Ninja, infiltrating shouldn't be a problem."

Thinking back, the last time on Judicial Island, Xi Yan also sneaked up to him and Nico Robin's side quietly, right?

If Nico Robin hadn't been so stubborn, they would have left with Xi Yan back then.

"Alright, then it's up to you!" Nami said.

In response, Xi Yan simply waved his hand without turning his head, and then disappeared from the spot.

"Let's go, let's go straight to the front," Nami said. "Let's prepare for both possibilities."

"A two-pronged approach?"

"Hmm." Nami nodded and said, "If Camie or Merry has already been put up for auction, we can buy them too."

At least... this method minimizes the chances of angering the Celestial Dragons.

This statement was unanimously agreed upon by the partners.

"Everyone, even if it costs us all our Beli, we must bring them back!" Nami declared.

"Profound!"

Then, everyone ran towards the main entrance of the auction house.

This scene was also noticed by the staff standing at the back door.

"What do these guys do?" The man asked in confusion, "Look in the direction... are they planning to go to the main entrance to participate in the auction?"

"You're really late..."

However, he didn't pay much attention to it; after all, it wasn't his responsibility if they weren't there to sell goods.

After shaking his head, the man looked into the distance and said, "At this time... there probably won't be anyone bringing goods here."

As a staff member of the auction, his task today was to stay at the back door and see if anyone would come to deliver goods, but it seemed that no one would come.

Thinking of this, the man decided to go back and take a break.

"Hey~"

"Um?"

Upon hearing the sound, the man instinctively turned around, only to find himself suddenly grabbed by a Rock Hand and forcefully pulled into the ground.

The next moment, Xi Yan, having activated his Transformation Technique, emerged from underground, expressionlessly opened the back door, and walked in.

"Um?"

Vik, who happened to be at the back door, saw this scene and frowned, saying, "Reiner, why aren't you watching the back door? What are you doing coming in here?"

After saying that, he seemed to realize something and immediately showed his displeasure, saying, "Are you trying to slack off again?!"

"I told you before, even if the auction starts, there's still a chance of sellers coming. Didn't you remember?"

As one of the managers, Vik knew Reiner's personality very well.

That means they take every opportunity to slack off.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person was his cousin, he would have kicked this guy out long ago.

Thinking this, Vik glanced around and, finding no one paying attention, continued, "You better watch yourself from now on. If you anger Lord Disco, I can't protect you!"

"Um?"

Why aren't you saying anything, kid?

Seeing that Reiner was still looking at him with a blank expression, Vik became furious.

"You've developed a temper, haven't you?"

"You..."

"So you're in charge?"

Upon hearing what the other person said, Vik instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Why does the other person act like they don't know him?

But that doesn't make sense, that's exactly what my cousin looks like.

'Could it be... that this kid is being controlled by some kind of ability user?'

With that in mind, Vik decided to leave and first gather his men to subdue Reiner.

However, he had only taken one step back when his calf bumped into the stool that was on the ground.

"Click~"

Vik:...

At that moment, Vik went completely numb.

"Save..."

"Forehead!"

Xi Yan didn't give him a chance to shout. He grabbed him by the neck, then activated his Sharinggan at him, saying, "Submit to these eyes!"

At that moment, Vik saw a pair of terrifying eyes hanging in the sky!

Meanwhile, in the slave storage area of the auction house, several men entered and gestured to their companions to open the cells; they were about to take the mermaid away.

"Why are we having mermaids now?" a staff member asked, looking at the group with a puzzled expression. "Weren't they supposed to be the grand finale?"

Why release such a high-end item, which only appears once every few years, now instead of as a grand finale?

Is it possible to generate that kind of buzz?

"A pirate captain's slave just committed suicide. In order not to disrupt the auction, Mr. Disco wants us to send the mermaid up now."

"I see..."

The man had a look of Satori realization; no wonder they wanted to get on the mermaid now.

If we don't quickly promote the hottest items, this auction might not be able to continue.

After all... there are three Celestial Dragons here this time!

"Miss Mermaid, please come with us~"

Several staff members sneered and quickly walked towards Camie, picking her up and carrying her on their shoulders.

"Damn it, let me go!"

Camie struggled violently, but was unable to break free from the restraints of the men. She was forced to follow them toward the Great Gate and was soon taken away from the area.

"You bastards, let go of Sister Camie..."

"You..."

"Enough with the nonsense." The man who opened the door walked in, glanced at Merry, and said, "You can barely take care of yourself, and you're thinking about protecting others?"

"Little girl, stop daydreaming!"

"You wait..."

"Yes, yes, we'll wait~" the man said disdainfully, "I've heard that kind of threat at least eighty or a hundred times."

Let him wait... But what can he do even if he waits?

Merry ignored him and looked at Camie, who was being taken away, with tears in her eyes, silently praying that Xi Yan would come to find her soon.

"Hey little girl, why can't you move?" The man walked in, grabbed Merry's arm and pulled her up, frowning as he looked her over and said, "You're not crippled, are you?"

If a slave is truly unable to move, then that slave loses all value, which would be a huge loss for them!

We might even have to compensate the seller, which would be a huge loss!

Thinking about this, the man became agitated.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I don't want to talk to you.

"Ha, quite arrogant..."

"You'd better pray you get better," the man said with a sneer, "Or you can just wait to die."

After saying that, the man threw Merry to the ground, not caring at all that it would hurt her.

"That's enough, you've gone too far."

The Giant Clan nearby glanced at the man and said, "How could you lay a hand on a little girl?"

"None of your business?"

"Here, there is no distinction of age, only slaves!"

After saying this, the man spat at the Giant Clan, showing no regard for them whatsoever.

The Giant Clan bulged, and he stood up, ready to smash the bastard to death. However, the chains on the wall were too strong, and he could not break free. He could only watch the other man act arrogantly.

"Come on, hit me!"

"Kill me!"

"Damn it, if it weren't for these damned chains..." The Giant Clan was so angry that his veins bulged, but he was completely helpless.

"Tch, you can't even move, what are you being arrogant about?" the man mocked. "You'd better just accept your fate!"

As he spoke, the man took out a whip and lashed the Giant Clan a few times.

Although it doesn't hurt the Giant Clan, it's extremely humiliating.

"Don't let me catch you..."

"Ha, you won't have that chance."

The man glanced at the few slaves inside and said, "Hmm, this auction is almost over."

After the best-selling items are cleared out, the remaining few cheaper items will be sold off quickly.

That little girl... I wonder if she's really ruined.

Thinking of this, the man glanced at Merry and said, "Little girl, the mermaid said your name is... Merry, right?"

"You probably have a few more minutes. If you can't stand up, we'll have to get rid of you."

Merry did not respond to this; she simply closed her eyes.

The man shook his head, not caring, since he wouldn't be the one dying in the end anyway.

Just then, the man noticed that the Giant Clan had fallen silent, which puzzled him.

The other party calmed down so quickly?

Thinking of this, he looked up at the other person in surprise and immediately realized something was wrong.

It seemed like the other person was... watching behind him?

"Who... are you going to deal with?!"

Hearing the voice behind him, the man's pupils contracted instantly, and he immediately felt a terrifying sense of crisis.

He instinctively turned around and immediately saw a pair of blood-red eyes staring intently at him.

"You..."

"Bump!!"

Without giving him a chance to waste words, Xi Yan threw a punch!

That Haki fist slammed into his heart, shattering it!

"Puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air, embedding himself directly in the wall.

This scene completely stunned the other slaves.

Someone actually dared to come here to rescue people?!

"Xi Yan!"

Merry looked at Xi Yan with surprise and delight. Had he finally come to save her?

"Merry, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Looking at Xi Yan who was holding her, Merry pursed her lips, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

In the end... she couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

"Wow!"

"Xi Yan, they're bullying me!"

Lying in Xi Yan's arms, Merry found her anchor and burst into tears.

"Click!"

The veins on Xi Yan's face bulged instantly, his heart filled with rage!

Those bastards... how dare they bully my little one!

"I'll avenge you!"

"Bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Shadow Clone appeared beside Xi Yan, its expression contorted with rage!

Drawing his Kusanagi Sword, his Shadow Clone immediately rushed out and cleaved Vik in two with a single strike.

"Puff!"

This scene completely stunned the staff who had just walked in.

"There's... there's an enemy attack!!"

"Help!"

Upon hearing the commotion, the guards immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed in, their first notice being Xi Yan standing in the corridor.

Although I don't know what happened to the other party, the person lying on the ground is one of our own!

Thinking of this, everyone immediately rushed forward.

"Go! Kill him!"

"You bunch of scum don't deserve to live!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Shadow Clone rushed forward and began a merciless slaughter!

"Ah!!"

"He's a devil! He's a devil!"

"You bastard, do you know whose territory this is? You... ah!"

"I don't care whose territory you are, you're all going to die today!"

"Puff!"

"Ah!"

With a single sword strike, the man and his armor were cleaved in two!

After killing that guy, the Shadow Clone didn't stop for a moment and continued to rush towards other enemies, showing no mercy whatsoever!

This scene deeply shocked the slaves who had not yet been sold.

"What a terrifying guy..."

These armored enemies couldn't even withstand a single blow from this man... He's too strong!

"Who are you?"

"Me?" Xi Yan looked up at the Giant Clan and said, "I am this little guy's family."

As they spoke, Xi Yan took out Merry's key, unlocked the collar around her neck, and completely freed Merry.

Upon seeing this, the slaves were immediately excited, but due to the terror of the other party, they dared not speak easily.

After a moment, Merry, having calmed down, looked at Xi Yan and said, "Xi Yan, could you release this big guy as well?"

"He is a good person."

She still remembered what the other person had just said.

"Is he a good person...?"

The Giant Clan gave a wry smile upon hearing this, never expecting to receive such a title one day.

Ultimately, he had only said a few words in support of the little girl, but she...

If we're talking about good people, then the other person is the better one.

Xi Yan glanced at the Giant Clan, then casually tossed the other keys over, keeping only Camie's.

Whether the Giant Clan can escape depends on the giant himself.

As for the other slaves?

The key is right there. If you have the guts to escape, go ahead and risk your life. He won't stop you.

Upon seeing the key on the ground, the Giant Clan paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you!"

Xi Yan waved his hand, saying nothing more.

"Merry, how were you abducted?" Xi Yan asked.

"I was sitting on a small rock, waiting for Luffy and the others to buy me cotton candy," Merry recalled. "But before Luffy and the others arrived, someone covered my mouth."

"After struggling for a few moments, a white cloth was placed over my nose, and then I lost consciousness."

"I was here when I woke up."

"Is this why you didn't use the Reverse Summoning Technique...?"

At this moment, Xi Yan finally understood why Merry hadn't summoned him; she had been drugged and rendered unconscious!

That's probably why that man said those things earlier.

While thinking, Xi Yan checked Merry's health and was relieved to find that she was just a little weak.

"Your body is fine; you'll regain your mobility in a while," Xi Yan reassured him.

"Um..."

"Oh, right, Xi Yan!" Merry suddenly said excitedly, "Sister Camie has been taken away by them, you have to go and save her!"

"Okay, we'll go now." Xi Yan nodded.

Even without Merry pointing it out, he had already realized this.

After all... there was no trace of Camie in this cell!

After picking up Merry, Xi Yan turned and walked outside.

Meanwhile, outside the prison cells, a large number of guards lay on the ground, their blood staining the corridor red!

Clearly, they were all killed by Xi Yan's Shadow Clone.

Xi Yan will not show any pity for these scoundrels who aid and abet evil.

Death... is their destiny!

The Shadow Clone wielding the Kusanagi Sword returned and looked at Xi Yan, saying, "All done."

"Um."

Xi Yan nodded, led Merry out of the cell, and walked down the corridor toward the auction hall.

Since the person had already gone to the hall, he naturally had to go there to rescue them.

Seeing this, the Shadow Clone followed without a word, intending to help the main body eliminate all enemies who dared to cause trouble!

Just as he approached the exit, Xi Yan heard the sound of Disco music.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this item is a rare find, the kind that only appears once every few years!" Disco shouted. "And it's the hottest item this time..."

Hearing the sounds coming from outside, Xi Yan said, "The inside is in such a state of carnage, yet the auction is still going on outside?"

How ironic...

After letting out a cold laugh, Xi Yan strode out.
