Water Release: Twin Water Tornado!

Xi Yan had no objections to becoming Luffy's partner.

Back when he watched this anime, he had liked these guys quite a bit.

Now that he had run into them, he had to travel with them for a while, right?

Besides... sticking with the protagonist meant he probably would not get killed. This world did not have anything like sacrificing someone to awaken the Mangekyo.

"You agreed just like that?" Barry said. "Aren't you going to think it over?"

Joining a pirate crew... was he really being this hasty?

"What's there to think over?"

"Do you know who they are?"

"I do." Xi Yan nodded. "I keep up with the newspapers."

"The Straw Hat Pirates, right?"

The moment those words came out, Zoro's gaze sharpened again.

"Did you come looking for us on purpose?"

"Are you nuts?" Xi Yan complained. "I'd have to be crazy to block a train out on the sea."

He had not even known there were trains that could run across the ocean in this world, okay?

Unfortunately, that explanation did not convince Zoro.

But since Luffy had already invited Xi Yan to join the Straw Hat Pirates, Zoro did not mind giving him some initial trust.

Still, he would keep an eye on Xi Yan, just as he had when Nico Robin first joined them.

It could not be helped. He had to be cautious; the current situation was simply too unusual.

"It's a Sea Train," Koko Luo Po Po corrected him.

"Oh, so it's a Sea Train." Xi Yan suddenly understood.

A train that ran across the sea, so it was called a Sea Train. Very reasonable.

"Anyway, from now on, Xi Yan is our partner!" Luffy said. "We can't throw a party now, though. We'll have one after we save Robin."

Normally, they would need to throw a party whenever a new partner joined, but the current circumstances clearly would not allow it.

"Save Robin?" Xi Yan frowned. "What exactly happened?"

Come to think of it, Sanji and Usopp were nowhere to be seen. And they had not set sail on the Going Merry, but on this Sea Train he had never seen before.

"I'll explain," Nami said.

Since Luffy acknowledged him, she did not mind offering him some trust. At the same time, she wanted to know whether he would back out once he learned who their opponent was this time.

After all... that was Judicial Island!

Nami then roughly explained everything that had happened to Xi Yan.

"I never expected Nico Robin to do something like that..."

She had sacrificed herself for her partners, all to give them a chance to survive.

No wonder the Straw Hat Pirates were willing to go to such a place to save her. She was worth it!

After thinking for a moment, Xi Yan said, "So we need to go to Judicial Island to save people now, right?"

"Before Nico Robin is put on trial."

"Yes."

"Okay, I understand." Xi Yan nodded, then smiled. "We're going to clash with something like that?"

"Interesting."

"Then let's go turn the world upside down!"

There truly was no such word as fear in Xi Yan's dictionary.

Seeing that Xi Yan was not afraid at all and even looked excited, Nami froze for a moment before smiling.

This new partner... was pretty great too.

Barry's mouth twitched, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.

This lawless bunch was going to attack Judicial Island, and after learning about it, this newcomer was not afraid in the slightest. He was actually excited.

Sure enough, how normal could someone who joined the Straw Hat Pirates possibly be?

Still, this was good. With a ninja who could use ninjutsu joining them, their combat strength would increase considerably, and their chances of winning would be greater.

"It would be great if we could catch up with them before they enter Judicial Island," Nami said.

"That's impossible." Koko Luo Po Po shook her head. "Rocket Man may be fast, but it can't catch up to a Sea Train that left ahead of us."

Koko Luo Po Po knew that very well.

So this time, they had to confront the enemy head-on at Judicial Island and snatch Robin back.

"Then we'll fight," Xi Yan said indifferently.

"That's right." Chopper said firmly, "No matter what happens, we have to take Robin back!"

This time, they had entered the battle prepared to die, so naturally, they would not back down.

"I'll ask about Sanji's situation," Nami said.

Sanji and the others had been gone for a while now. She had no idea what was happening over there.

"Granny!!" Kimone, who was leaning out the window, said, "The Gods of Water are here."

"They finally came." Koko Luo Po Po calmly picked up her bottle and took a drink, looking as if she had expected this all along.

She knew the Gods of Water would reach them sooner or later.

As for how they would get through it?

That was not something she needed to consider. She was just the driver.

Nami curiously leaned out to take a look, and her pupils immediately shrank. "Th-That tsunami is huge!!"

As she watched the terrifying tsunami draw closer and closer, Nami's face turned incredibly grim.

At this speed, crashing into that tsunami... even without knowing much about Sea Trains, Nami could imagine what would happen.

They were absolutely dead!!

"Koko Luo Po Po, think of something!" Nami cried anxiously.

"There's nothing I can do." Koko Luo Po Po said calmly. "I told you already, once Rocket Man gets onto the Sea Track, it can't stop. Even I can't change that."

After saying that, she took another long gulp of alcohol. She looked just like a drunkard, making Xi Yan's eyelid twitch.

Was this granny actually reliable?

"Then what do we do?"

Nami was dumbfounded. The person driving the Sea Train was unreliable, so what were they supposed to do?

If they did not find a way to deal with the tsunami outside, Rocket Man would probably fall apart the moment it hit it. Then they would all die in the wreck.

Barry and Zanbai, who had just reached an agreement with Luffy, exchanged glances before saying, "Leave it to us!"

The two of them then left with their men.

Xi Yan curiously leaned out to look outside. Watching the enormous tsunami approach, he said, "Whoa, that's no small thing."

"Do you have a way to deal with it?!" Nami looked at Xi Yan expectantly.

"Let them try first." Xi Yan pointed upward.

Those guys had just said they would handle it, so there was no need for him to steal their job.

If they really could not solve it, then he could act. There was still time, anyway.

"So you really do have a way?"

"Yes."

"Hmm, okay."

Nami nodded, then calmly took out the Den Den Mushi and began contacting Sanji.

She acted as though she completely trusted Xi Yan, which surprised him somewhat.

"Fire the cannon! Let these so-called Gods of Water witness the strength of the Galley-La Company!"

"Yeah!"

Dailustong fired his cannon straight at the distant tsunami.

The others were not to be outdone and fired Cannonballs as well.

Boom!

But unfortunately, when the cannonballs struck the tsunami, they only splashed up some water. They could not even blast a sizable gap into it.

"No good, the Cannonballs are still too weak." Barry said with an ugly expression.

"We still have to rely on the Franky Family!" Zanbai shouted. "Leave it to the Franky Family's special cannon!"

"Target: Gods of Water!"

"Fire the cannon!"

Boom!!

Looking at that enormous barrel, Xi Yan remarked, "That really is a huge cannon."

A person could crawl inside that caliber.

His gaze followed the cannonball until it finally struck the tsunami.

Yeah, it still only made a splash.

"Looks like that won't work." Xi Yan shook his head. "I'll handle it."

He had thought those guys in the back might pull off something impressive, but they had only tried to blast open the tsunami with cannons.

More importantly, the cannon looked quite intimidating, but its actual power was only so-so.

"Yeah, leave it to you, Xi Yan." Luffy nodded.

Luffy was sitting calmly on the floor at that moment, showing no intention of getting up.

Clearly, Luffy believed Xi Yan could do it.

He had completely placed their lives in Xi Yan's hands. If Xi Yan failed, they would all die together.

Luffy's trust made Xi Yan fall silent for a moment before he said, "Don't worry. Leave it to me."

Xi Yan then grabbed the window frame and rushed outside, arriving atop Rocket Man.

"Ninja Bro, you came out." Barry glanced at Xi Yan, then continued pulling the trigger on his cannon as he asked, "Can you deal with this?"

They had been firing with all their might, but unfortunately, they simply could not blast a gap into such a massive tsunami.

"We can't do anything," Zanbai said grimly.

The other guy had said below that there was not enough room to use ninjutsu.

But what about outside?

Could it affect the Gods of Water?

"Hmm, leave it to me."

After saying that, Xi Yan looked at the gigantic tsunami ahead. "Hey, Luffy, didn't you want to see my ninjutsu?"

"I'll show you now. Watch closely!"

After saying that, Xi Yan clapped his hands together and began using ninjutsu.

The sea began to tremble, and even larger waves rose, as if some terrifying beast were about to burst forth.

The next moment, two enormous Water Dragons surged out from either side of the Sea Train, roaring as they charged toward the distant tsunami!

Water Release: Twin Water Tornado!!

The two enormous Water Dragons gradually converged, spun together, and finally slammed fiercely into the sea.

Boom!!

The tremendous force blasted an enormous hole straight through the Gods of Water!

"Y-You opened it up?!!!"
