Mangekyō Sharingan Pattern and... Powerful Dojutsu Power!

"Why..."

Seeing this, Xi Yan sighed; he knew it would turn out this way.

After what happened, the little guy really became quite attached to the two of them.

Considering the dangers of the Navy Headquarters and the Underwater Great Prison, Xi Yan knew it was impossible to bring this little guy along.

Therefore... they have to be ruthless!

Just then, Luffy over, squatted down, and patted Merry's head.

"Luffy?"

Looking at Luffy squatting in front of her, Merry's crying gradually subsided, but she would still sob from time to time.

"Merry, Xi Yan is right." Luffy looked at Merry seriously and said, "This time it is indeed very dangerous, I can't take you with me."

"How could this happen? I..."

"Merry!"

"We two will definitely come back alive to get you!" Luffy said. "That's our promise to you!"

"Is it an agreement?"

"Like Brook and Laboon...?"

As if remembering something, Merry's vision blurred again.

"Merry," Xi Yan said, "We are different from Brook and Laboon. Don't forget our special connection."

As he spoke, Xi Yan made a gesture indicating a Summoning Technique, then smiled and said, "You shouldn't have forgotten this, right?"

Merry fell silent after hearing Xi Yan's words.

Yes, she and Xi Yan have a Summoning Contract that connects them. As long as he is alive, they will definitely meet again someday.

'Thinking about it carefully, my strength is indeed too weak. If I go with them, I'll just be a burden...'

Who knows, the two of them might face danger while protecting her.

With that in mind, Merry accepted the arrangement.

Then, Merry said, "I can stay here, but... but you two have to promise me you'll come back alive!!"

Seeing the tearful Merry, Xi Yan and Luffy exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter and said, "Of course!"

"We two will definitely come back alive!"

They still had a promise to meet their companions in the Sabaody Archipelago; how could they die in the Underwater Great Prison?

So... they will definitely come back alive!

"Let's pinky swear!" Merry said, extending her hand.

"Okay, pinky promise!"

Luffy and Xi Yan smiled and extended their fingers to Merry, making a pact with Merry that they would definitely come back alive.

And this... is also their promise to Merry!!

After seeing that Merry had calmed down, Luffy looked at Grandma Za and said, "Grandma Za, I'm entrusting Merry to your care."

"Don't worry," Grandma Za nodded to Luffy, "I'll take good care of this little girl."

Speaking of which, this little girl probably wants a snake unique to Amazon Lily. I'll get her a Snake Egg tomorrow.

This way, Merry will have something to do during this time, which will help her distract herself.

Luffy nodded, then looked at Xi Yan and said, "Xi Yan, let's go."

With Merry settled in, the two of them had no more worries.

"Not now, I need to get a Sea Kings first," Xi Yan said, shaking his head.

Without this means of transportation, they have no way to keep up with the warships.

"Sea Kings?"

Luffy was taken aback. What did that mean?

Why create a Sea Kings?

"We'll use Sea Kings as transportation," Xi Yan explained. "Otherwise, how will we get to the Underwater Great Prison?"

"Oh, I see."

Although he didn't know why their Sea Kings this time, Luffy didn't care too much about it, as long as he could get to Underwater Great Prison to rescue his brother.

After thinking for a moment, Luffy asked, "Do you need any help?"

"No need," Xi Yan shook his head and said, "I can handle it myself."

"Okay, I understand."

Margaret stared at the two of them, dumbfounded. Had they really made such a terrifying decision so calmly?

"No, wait a minute," Margaret said. "Xi Yan, are you planning to capture Sea Kings?"

"Ah, yes."

"Hiss..."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Margaret gasped.

If she heard correctly, the other party was planning to use the Sea Kings as ships.

No, how could that be?

Putting aside whether that thing can be used for navigation, how could they be so confident in taming Sea Kings?

Thinking of this, Margaret said, "Xi Yan, Sea Kings are extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Sea Kings are indeed very dangerous to you, but they are not to me."

Margaret:...

Are you that confident?

"Don't worry!" Luffy grinned, "Since Xi Yan has said so, they must be confident."

He didn't know what method Xi Yan would use to tame the Sea Kings, but since Xi Yan had said so, he was sure he could do it!

"That's right, Sister Margaret!" Merry wiped away her tears and said, "Xi Yan isn't one to make empty promises. If he says he can, then he definitely can."

"Well... okay."

Seeing that the two of them had said so, Margaret didn't say anything more.

Xi Yan smiled and then asked, "Where are the purchased supplies?"

Before leaving, he needed to seal all the supplies into Sealing Scroll.

"It's in Grandma Za's backyard," Margaret said. "Come with me."

As she spoke, Margaret stood up from the sofa and walked towards the backyard.

After arriving in the backyard, Margaret pointed to the supplies and said, "They're all here."

"As Luffy requested, most of this stuff is meat."

Wow, that's quite a lot.

Looking at the mountain of food, Xi Yan showed a surprised expression.

Even though Luffy can eat a lot,... he probably didn't buy this much.

This stuff should be enough to feed the entire Straw Hat Pirates for half a month.

After calming down, Merry walked over and said after hearing Xi Yan's words, "After all, Luffy can eat a lot."

"Have you paid?"

"Yes, don't worry, I paid you."

Xi Yan nodded, then took out a Sealing Scroll and walked towards the supplies in the distance.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, all the goods were gradually taken inside.

This scene left Margaret completely dumbfounded.

"N-nothing... that's it?!" Margaret exclaimed incredulously. "Did they all go into that scroll?"

How could so many goods be contained in such a small scroll?

How did they manage to do that?

Is Xi Yan a monster?

"Is this the method you were talking about?" Grandma Za looked at Xi Yan with surprise and said, "It actually managed to collect so many supplies..."

That much food could feed a whole ship's crew for a week, and it was all taken away by a scroll... That's incredible!

"That's right, that's the method I was talking about." Xi Yan put away the Sealing Scroll and said, "Using the Sealing Scroll, we can store items and save a lot of space."

"Sealing Scroll?"

Grandma Za said, "That's a very apt description."

Sealing supplies inside a scroll—isn't that just Sealing Scroll?

"Um?"

Seeing Xi Yan start examining her warehouse, Grandma Za asked, "What's wrong?"

"Grandma Za, could I borrow this warehouse for a bit?" Xi Yan grinned and said, "That way, we'll have a place to rest."

Upon seeing this small warehouse, an idea popped into Xi Yan's mind.

That means putting this thing into the Barry of Sea Kings!

In this way, they would not only avoid being discovered by the navy, but could also stay inside and rest peacefully.

As for the oxygen issue... all you need to do is periodically make the Sea Kings open their mouths to breathe air.

The problem of seawater is also easy to solve. Every time Sea Kings opens its mouth, he can use Water Release to protect the warehouse from being corroded by seawater.

"Is that so...?"

Seeing that his Grandma Za frowned, Xi Yan said, "Or you could say buy it."

"Young man, do I look like such a stingy person?" the Grandma Za said irritably. "I'm just wondering what you're going to do."

Xi Yan felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this; it turned out he had misunderstood.

"Feel sorry..."

"Alright, you can put it away now," Grandma Za said. "But can you really put this thing into that scroll?"

"This is a warehouse."

Although this warehouse is only about 20 square meters in size, it's different from the food; it's a complete, integrated unit!

"Of course," Xi Yan said. "We can even take in pirate ships, let alone this."

As he spoke, Xi Yan took out another new Sealing Scroll and then clapped his hands together.

"Bang!"

A wisp of white smoke drifted by, and the scroll quickly transformed into a larger scroll.

"Grandma Za, is there anything here that needs to be moved out?" Xi Yan asked.

Grandma Za was curiously examining the Xi Yan Scroll, shook her head upon hearing this and said, "There's nothing valuable in it. You can take it with you; you might find it useful."

"Okay."

Xi Yan nodded, then slapped his hands on the ground and activated Ninjutsu.

"Earth Release: Rising Platform Technique!!"

"Boom!"

As Xi Yan finished speaking, the earth suddenly began to shake, as if an earthquake had struck.

Then the land beneath the warehouse gradually rose, slowly lifting the warehouse up!

"It's... it's rising?!?"

Margaret stared in shock at the scene, her eyes bulging out and snot uncontrollably spurting from her nose.

Clearly, this scene was more impactful for Margaret than the Sealing Scroll she had just witnessed.

"It's Earth Release Technique again."

Grandma Za stared at the rising ground and exclaimed, "What a remarkable young man!"

However, after seeing Xi Yan did next, Grandma Za immediately fell silent.

Because Xi Yan not only put away the warehouse, but also put the foundation into the Sealing Scroll.

My Grandma Za:...

Looking at the old warehouse site, Grandma Za's lips twitched, and she said, "No wonder you wanted to raise the ground; it turns out you weren't planning to leave me any land after all."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan said awkwardly, "Otherwise, there's no way to take this warehouse away intact."

It would be embarrassing if it got damaged during disassembly; he doesn't have time to fix it right now.

"Alright, alright," Grandma Za waved her hand and said, "If they've taken it, they've taken it."

After saying that, Grandma Za paused for a moment, then continued, "But you don't need to go out of your way to retrieve this thing. If circumstances don't allow it, then it's okay if the warehouse is lost."

"Okay, I understand." Xi Yan nodded.

However, under normal circumstances, this item can be retrieved safely.

"Alright, I'm going to capture Sea Kings," Xi Yan said. "Luffy, you wait for me here."

Perhaps fearing Luffy might lose patience, Xi Yan added, "Don't worry, this time it won't take too long."

If he can find the Sea Kings, he can take it down!

"I understand," Luffy said.

This time, Luffy didn't clamor to go along, because he knew this wasn't the time to joke around.

The sooner Xi Yan captures the Sea Kings, the sooner they can set off for the Underwater Great Prison!

Xi Yan nodded, then jumped over the wall and left at an extremely fast speed!

"Let's go to the Back Mountain," Xi Yan said.

This way, even if a large commotion is created, it can be avoided by the navy directly facing Amazon Lily.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan quickened his pace and soon rushed out of the village to the seaside Back Mountain.

Looking at the surging seawater below, Xi Yan squinted and said, "I wonder if Sea Kings have the habit of sleeping at night."

As he pondered this, Xi Yan walked onto the sea and then activated his Ninjutsu.

' Water Release: Dance of the Swimming Fish!!'

"Sizzle~"

With the activation of the Ninjutsu, the thin membrane reappeared on Xi Yan's body, allowing him to remain underwater for an extended period.

After laughing, Xi Yan quickly sank, rushing towards the sea.

There are no large Sea Kings...

After scanning the area around Amazon Lily, Xi Yan did not spot any large Sea Kings, which piqued his curiosity.

'Could it be because of Amazon Lily?'

That doesn't make sense. There are people selling Sea Kings meat at the market, which means Sea Kings should exist in the near seas, but there aren't any... Could they all have gone to sleep in the depths?

With that thought in mind, Xi Yan turned his gaze to the deeper seawater and then vanished from the spot in an instant.

Soon, Xi Yan found a suitable guy in an area a few nautical miles away from Amazon Lily.

'Is this... Erha?'

Looking at the giant Sea Kings with a husky's head, Xi Yan's eyelids twitched.

In his line of sight, the hundreds-of-meters-long, Erha - Sea Kings was lying in the seawater, squinting and snoring.

It's like... being asleep.

'You're the one.'

Xi Yan grinned. Seeing such a familiar guy, it would be really unreasonable not to take him with him.

However, before Xi Yan could make a move, the Sea Kings suddenly shuddered, as if it had been frightened.

Upon seeing this, Xi Yan immediately prepared to take action.

To his surprise, the Erha showed no signs of waking up; it merely shuddered and then fell silent again.

Xi Yan:...

'What's this?'

The brain, unaware of whether the body is dead or not, sends out a vibration signal to confirm the host's condition, right?

He had only ever seen this kind of thing when he was in school.

After shaking his head, Xi Yan arrived on Erha's head and activated Susanoo.

"Phew~"

A pale golden skull appeared on Xi Yan's body, protecting him firmly inside.

Then, the skeletal arm rose and struck down at the Erha's head.

"Bump!!"

"Woof!"

Feeling the pain Erha opened its eyes and then noticed the strange creature standing on its head.

"Woof!!!"

The Erha glared angrily at Xi Yan, as if to say, "You bastard, it's you who disturbed my sleep!"

Looking at the furious Erha, Xi Yan smiled.

Under normal circumstances, he might actually be interested in playing along with this guy.

But now... I don't have the time!

Thinking of this, Xi Yan looked into the Erha's eyes and activated Illusion at the level of the Mangekyō Sharingan!!

The next moment, the Erha noticed a change in its field of vision.

A pair of unusual Blood-colored Eyes appeared in its field of vision, and they grew larger and larger... larger and larger!

Finally, those spinning Mangekyō Sharingan hung in the sky!

"Clang!"

This enormous Sea Kings, hundreds of meters long, was immediately brought under control!

The Dojutsu power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is simply beyond its ability to contend with!

Looking at the pattern in the Sea Kings's eye, Xi Yan murmured to himself, 'Is this what my Mangekyō Sharingan like?'

The pattern of the eyes looked like a clover, but there was also an hourglass-like pattern on top of the clover.

'Hehe, interesting.'

"I never imagined that the curse on the backs of the three lords would actually be cured..." Kalamis said, "Just who is this person named Xi Yan?"

Recalling what Snake Princess had just said, Kalamis was utterly shocked.

It's astonishing that a doctor from outside was able to cure the curses on the three adults!

What kind of person is this?

"I don't know, but at least it's a good thing, isn't it?" Lan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "This way, the three of you won't have to endure the pain of the curse."

"That's true."

That damned curse is finally gone!

"Thank you Lord Xi Yan!"

"That's right, thank you Lord Xi Yan!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Hancock smiled.

'Looks like what I thought...'

Then, she looked at her two younger sisters and said, "Speaking of which... how long has it been since we took a bath together?"

Upon hearing this, Sandersonia exchanged a glance with Marguerite, then said, "More than ten years, hasn't it?"

Since they returned to Amazon Lily, they haven't bathed together again.

After all... they need someone to keep watch outside and make sure no one breaks in.

This is not only to protect themselves, but also to protect their people.

"More than ten years have passed," Hancock remarked. "It's been too long..."

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for Xi Yan, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to bathe with her two sisters.

Thinking of this, Hancock once again expressed her gratitude to Xi Yan in her heart.

"Yes, it's been too long," Marguerite said. "But starting today, we won't need to worry about that so much."

"That's right, we have to thank Xi Yan for all of this!"

The two younger sisters exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.

A smile appeared on Hancock's face, and she picked up a glass of water and took a sip, looking more relaxed than ever before.

However, she also knew that she didn't have much time to enjoy herself now, as she still had to go to the Navy Headquarters with Xi Yan.

With that thought, Hancock stood up from the bath, glanced at her two sisters, and said, "Alright, I should get going too."

"I'm entrusting Amazon Lily to you while I'm away."

"Profound!"

"Leave it to us with confidence, Older Sister Lord!"
