Xi Yan's Shock, Older Sister?

"So this is where Grandma Za lives?" Merry said, looking around curiously. "It looks like a nice place."

"Haha, it's alright, isn't it?" Grandma Za chuckled.

Since she started living a comfortable life, she has enjoyed tending to flowers and plants, and before she knew it, she had transformed the yard into this place.

It must be said that such an environment does indeed make her feel relaxed, both physically and mentally.

After placing the Snake Cane aside, Grandma Za said, "Sit down."

Xi Yan nodded, then led Merry to sit on the sofa.

As for Luffy...

"Hey, Luffy!" Xi Yan looked at Luffy in disbelief and said, "Why do you rummage through other people's refrigerators as soon as you arrive at their houses?!"

It was the same in the Sabaody Archipelago, and it's the same here.

This guy has absolutely no sense of boundaries.

Even the Grandma Za was a little stunned; this kid really wasn't being polite.

"Ah?"

Luffy, who had already stuffed a sausage into his mouth, turned to Xi Yan and said, "But I'm so hungry..."

I don't know how long I slept, but now I feel extremely hungry.

Xi Yan covered her face, then looked at Grandma Za apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma Za, we'll pay."

"Oh, it's alright, go ahead and eat," Grandma Za, waving her hand.

She guessed that the boy was feeling very hungry because he had used up a lot of energy during the previous treatment.

In that case, let him eat it.

After all... she wouldn't be stingy with a little food; she couldn't possibly eat that much anyway.

Seeing the Grandma Za's expression, Xi Yan paused for a moment. This old woman probably didn't know Luffy could eat...

Never mind, I'll talk about it later.

"Let's begin," Grandma Za said.

Xi Yan understood what the other party meant, so without saying a word, he immediately took out two Den Den Mushi and placed them on the table.

"Huh?"

Why is this Den Den Mushi white?

Merry looked at the Den Den Mushi that was lying obediently on the table, her eyes filled with curiosity.

This was the first time she had ever seen a white Den Den Mushi.

"Really...?"

Luffy glanced at it curiously and said, "There are even white Den Den Mushi?"

"Is this also used for making phone calls?"

"Yes." Xi Yan nodded and said, "When making a call, placing this White Den Den Mushi next to a regular Den Den Mushi will prevent eavesdropping."

As they were talking, Xi Yan dialed Shakky's Den Den Mushi number.

"Anti-eavesdropping..."

Luffy tilted his head and looked at Xi Yan, clearly not understanding what Xi Yan meant.

After thinking for a while, he gave up and turned back to continue eating.

My Grandma Za:...

Why does this Straw Hat look like an idiot?

Hmm... that makes sense. If someone wasn't an idiot, they wouldn't have eaten random things and ended up lying down.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Click~"

"Moshi moshi~" Xi Yan said, "I am Xi Yan."

"Oh my, Little Xi Yan finally called!" Shakky said with a smile.

"Xi Yan!"

"Xi Yan-qin!"

"Xi Yan!"

Hearing three familiar voices, Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "It's you guys! What are you doing at Shakky-jie's place?"

"Ah, I was just worried about you guys," Hatchan said, scratching his head. "So I came ashore with Rayleigh to check on you."

If Rayleigh hadn't been with him, he really wouldn't have dared to bring Camie up here again.

After all... he's not as strong Straw Hat Pirates.

Xi Yan felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, and then said, "I see... Don't worry, we're fine."

"It's good that you're alright..."

"Where's Uncle Rayleigh?" Merry asked.

"Him..." Shakky tapped her cigarette ash and said, "After learning that you were still alive, he went to your ship to continue the coating process."

Rayleigh's intention was that these guys should head towards the New World as soon as they returned to Sabaody Archipelago.

Before the Straw Hat Pirates returned?

He can also help keep an eye on the boat while he's at it.

"I see..."

Merry nodded. If that's the case, then we really can't bring their ship over, otherwise Uncle Rayleigh's efforts will have been in vain.

"Alright, let's get down to business," Shakky said. "Xi Yan, have you found Gloriosa?"

"Ah, found it..."

Before Xi Yan could finish speaking, Grandma Za took the Den Den Mushi very naturally and said in an annoyed tone, "You should call me sister, you little brat!"

Given their relationship back then, it wouldn't be a problem for her to call her "sister."

These words stunned Xi Yan and Merry. Luffy also turned around and looked at Grandma Za with a surprised expression, forgetting to eat his meal.

"Sister... Sister?!"

"Shakky-jie is..."

Before Xi Yan could finish speaking, he wisely shut his mouth.

He saw the Den Den Mushi's expression change; that expression... was a little scary.

'No, how old is Shakky-jie exactly?' Xi Yan murmured to himself.

At this moment, Xi Yan felt an intense curiosity, but... reason told him not to ask, absolutely not to ask.

Otherwise, I'll definitely get beaten up next time I see Shakky-jie.

"You talk too much," Shakky said expressionlessly.

"So... so scary..."

Hatchan and the other two huddled together, trembling, staring in terror at Shakky emanated a terrifying aura.

Why has the other person suddenly become so terrifying?

Could it be because of what the other person just said?

"What I said is..."

Before her Grandma Za could finish speaking, Xia Qi interrupted Shakky, saying, "If you keep talking nonsense like that, I'll expose everything you did back then."

At that moment, a fierce glint appeared in Shakky's eyes.

My Grandma Za:...

Shakky's words silenced her Grandma Za completely.

After a moment, she laughed awkwardly and said, "I was just joking. Actually, Shakky is very young."

Yes, this was said to Xi Yan and the other two.

But... it doesn't sound very convincing.

However, you can't argue back at this point, or you might run into trouble.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Alright, let's get down to business," Shakky said seriously. "They're on good terms with me, so... I hope you can lend them a hand."

This statement also confirms what Xi Yan Xi Yan before: he and Shakky do indeed have a very good relationship.

After confirming this information, Grandma Za breathed a sigh of relief.

At least... the other party isn't an enemy.

But soon another problem arose before her: she... wasn't the emperor!

Thinking of this, Grandma Za said, "Shakky, I'm retired now, and there's very little I can do to help."

"You should know that too."

She could only do her best to protect these three guys in front of Hancock.

As for whether Hancock can listen...

All we can say is, do our best and leave the rest to fate.

"Hancock should be able to listen to what you have to say," Shakky said.

Grandma Za sighed in exasperation; the little one might not listen to her.

But since things had come to this point, she couldn't very well refuse.

Thinking of this, Grandma Za said, "Okay, I understand."

"Okay, please!"

"Click~"

Looking at the Den Den Mushi whose call had been ended, Shakky rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

Hopefully, this guy can help Little Xi Yan.

After shaking her head, Shakky glanced at the three people sitting on the sofa trembling, and gave them a kind smile, saying, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah, hahaha, we're just a little cold."

"Right, Hatchan!"

"No... that's right!!"

Looking at the three who seemed somewhat afraid of her, Shakky felt a little helpless; she wasn't going to do anything to these three little ones.

Just then, the Great Gate was kicked open, and several young pirates walked in, their expressions extremely arrogant.

"Ha, Rip-off Bar?" the young bandit leader sneered. "I'd like to see what's going on."

"Ara~"

"A punching bag to vent my anger has been delivered right to my door!"

"Um?"

The young pirate was stunned for a moment, not immediately understanding what it meant.

"Hey boss, it's a mermaid!"

"Look! There are mermen and Fish-Man!"

The group looked excitedly at Camie and Hatchan sitting on the sofa, their eyes gleaming with greed.

If we could capture these people and send them to an auction... we'd make a fortune!

"Hahaha, looks like we're going to make a fortune this time!"

"Men, take them down!"

"Profound!"

Just then, the door behind them was suddenly slammed shut, the loud noise startling them.

"Bump!!"

The group subconsciously turned around and immediately noticed Shakky standing at the door, and were momentarily stunned.

"You... were you just inside the counter?!"

How did they manage to appear at the door in an instant?

"Hehe, that's not important." Shakky said with a 'friendly' smile, "Gentlemen, since you've come to my humble shop, you should have something to drink."

The leader of the pirates was silent for a moment. Although he was somewhat wary of the opponent's speed, his desire for money overcame his unease.

After all... that's tens of millions of Beli!!!

Thinking this, the leader of the pirates said, "Although I don't know who you are, but... our Chicken Fire Pirates have something to do right now. If you don't want to die, you'd better get back there..."

Before he could finish speaking, he sensed an incredibly terrifying killing intent, which immediately made him swallow back the words he was about to say.

"Then... let's have some drinks."

"Huh?!"

The other underlings looked at their boss with suspicion. Wasn't this sudden change in attitude a bit too fast?

Wait... is our boss... scared?

"Very well, then let's each have a cup of Blood Rose."

"What... what's the price?"

"Of course it's... your lives!" Shakky said coldly.

Now that they've seen that Camie is a mermaid, then... they can forget about leaving alive!

There are some things she doesn't want to happen a second time!

On the other side, after ending the call with the Den Den Mushi, Grandma Za fell into deep thought, seemingly lost in thought.

Xi Yan didn't disturb them, and instead took out some food for the Den Den Mushi to feed them.

This is a very valuable treasure; it can't go hungry.

"The little guy is so cute," Merry said. "May I feed it?"

"Can."

Xi Yan reached out and ruffled Merry's hair, saying, "If you like, you can keep it with you for now."

"Okay!"

Seeing Merry's great joy, Xi Yan also smiled.

Then, he looked at the Grandma Za who had come to her senses and said, "Can we talk about what happens next?"

"Hmm, go ahead," Grandma Za rubbed her face and then said, "What do you want me to help with?"

"Is it about leaving this island?"

Hearing the Grandma Za's words, Luffy excitedly asked, "Grandma, would you help us leave?"

If the other party were willing to help them leave, that would be even better.

"Well..." Grandma Za said somewhat awkwardly, "We'll have to see Hancock to know if this will work."

Hancock is now the emperor of this country; she has no real power over the Ninth Snake.

Luffy:???

Luffy looked at Grandma Za with a puzzled expression. If she couldn't help them leave... why did she say that?

"Grandma Za, that's not what I wanted to talk about." Xi Yan looked at Grandma Za seriously and said, "Do you have any Permanent Log Pointer for going to Navy Headquarters?"

What are you going to Navy Headquarters for?

Merry looked at Xi Yan with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, Xi Yan, we need to go back to Sabaody Archipelago!" Luffy said.

Why go to that Navy Headquarters?

Their current task is to return to Sabaody Archipelago and reunite with their companions!

"Luffy, take a look at this." Xi Yan placed the newspaper about Fire Fist Ace's impending execution on the table, saying, "Fire Fist Ace is your brother, isn't he?"

"He is about to be publicly executed by the Navy!"

"Varied...?!"

Luffy, who was eating, suddenly froze, not even noticing the sausage fall to the ground.

Then, he ran over in a panic, picked up the newspaper on the table, and looked at it.

Although he didn't know many characters, he still managed to understand the title at the top.

(At Navy Headquarters, Fire Fist Ace is publicly executed!)

After seeing it clearly, Luffy immediately panicked.

"Hey, Xi Yan, what do we do?!" Luffy looked at Xi Yan in a panic and said, "Ace is my brother!!"

"Luffy's older brother?!"

Merry panicked too. Public execution... did that mean she was going to die?

If Luffy's older brother were to die, Luffy would be incredibly heartbroken!

Grandma Za looked at Luffy with surprise. She hadn't expected that the person about to be publicly executed was actually the Straw Hat's brother... It really surprised her.

"That's right, Ace is my brother!" Luffy exclaimed anxiously, "What do we do, what do we do?"

"No... I have to go save him!"

Although reuniting with his comrades was an urgent matter, he would never forgive himself if his brother died because he failed to go to Navy Headquarters to rescue them!

"Xi Yan, quick, let's go to Navy Headquarters!!"

"We don't have the Permanent Log Pointer to Navy Headquarters," Xi Yan said helplessly. "Only by obtaining the Log Pointer can we find Navy Headquarters."

After saying that, Xi Yan glanced at Grandma Za and said, "So... Grandma Za, what's your answer?"

If there were Permanent Log Pointer from the Navy Headquarters, things would be much easier.

Grandma Za glanced at Luffy, then at Xi Yan, and then sighed.

"Why..."

"Kid, come with me, I'll take you to Hancock."

"She should have that, but... you should be prepared!"

Xi Yan was stunned for a moment. Was he mentally prepared?

Is it because... I'm a man?

Thinking this through, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Although I don't know what kind of person Hancock is, if she has this thing... I'll get it even if I have to steal it!

"Okay, let's go then," Grandma Za said.

This kid killed Celestial Dragons... who knows, he might actually be able to convince Hancock.
