The Miracle of Life!

"Ugh... that feels much better."

After staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, Xi Yan slowly sat up and then glanced at the clock beside him.

"Has it been that long already?"

I never expected him to sleep for almost 18 hours this time.

However, Xi Yan felt relieved after thinking about how he hadn't slept for the previous seven days.

I haven't slept for a week, so 18 hours of sleep is really not much.

"I wonder how Luffy is doing these days," Xi Yan said, rubbing his temples. "Let's go check on him."

After saying that, Xi Yan got off the bed, put on his clothes, picked up the Kusanagi Sword, and walked outside.

"You're awake."

Looking at Xi Yan walking out of the room, Inazuma smiled and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"Ah, I slept quite comfortably, but I'm a little hungry..."

Before Xi Yan could finish speaking, he realized what was happening and looked at Inazuma with a shocked expression, saying, "You're Inazuma?"

"How did you become a man?"

The scars on her face, the color of her hair, the clothes she wore, and the Red Wine Glass she always carried... this was indeed Inazuma, but why had she turned into a man?

Seeing Xi Yan's shocked expression, Inazuma smiled slightly and said, "I told you, I'm not a woman, I'm a transvestite~"

"What you see now is my true self."

"Then what about before...?"

"Ah, that's because Lord Ivankov injected me with female Hormones," Inazuma explained. "That's what turned me into a woman."

Xi Yan:...

What kind of bizarre Devil Fruit ability is this, you bastard!

It can turn men into women and women into men—that's terrifying!

No wonder these guys call Ivankov "Emporio Ivankov," maybe he really was a woman at first!

Just then, a thought popped into Xi Yan's mind.

'Hiss... Could it be that Crocodile was a woman in the past?'

Because of some events, they sought out Ivankov and asked him to turn them into men.

It's not impossible.

Thinking about this, Xi Yan fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Xi Yan was silent, Inazuma assumed he was worried about Ivankov's Devil Fruit ability.

"Don't worry, Lord Ivankov won't inject you with Hormones if you don't want to," Inazuma explained.

Treating friends and enemies is naturally different.

"Ah?"

"Ah... that would be perfect." Xi Yan nodded.

Although that wasn't what he was thinking about, he genuinely didn't want the other party to give him an injection.

After shaking his head to dismiss the thought, Xi Yan asked, "What's the situation with Luffy right now?"

The screams still hadn't stopped.

Is that so?

Xi Yan nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "Inazuma, could you please get me some food and take it to the outside of that cave?"

"Okay, I understand."

Inazuma didn't waste any words and decisively left to help Xi Yan prepare food in the banquet hall.

After watching the other person leave, Xi Yan murmured, "Luffy, it's almost time, you'd better do your best."

If the other person still cannot recover within 18 hours, I will have no choice but to leave him here for the time being.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan sighed silently.

Then, without saying a word, the man walked toward the cave where Luffy was.

After the Great Gate was opened, Xi Yan heard some people shouting.

"Keep it up!"

"Straw Hat Boy!"

"Come on!!"

"Um?"

Hearing the shouts of these people, Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting so many people to be encouraging Luffy.

After Great Gate behind him, Xi Yan quickly ran inside.

"Ah, you're awake." Ivankov glanced at Xi Yan who had rushed in and said, "How are you feeling?"

"I've recovered my strength," Xi Yan said. "I could fight for several more days and nights without any problem."

Then, Xi Yan glanced at Bon Clay, who was cheering him on, and said, "Bon Clay, you've recovered?"

"Don't worry, I'm in good health~" Bon Clay said with a loud laugh.

After answering, the man turned around and continued to cheer for Luffy.

Xi Yan nodded, then looked at Ivankov and asked, "How is Luffy doing now?"

A hint of worry appeared in Xi Yan's eyes as he glanced at the Great Gate in the distance.

"He's still receiving treatment," Ivankov sighed. "But as long as the screams don't stop, there's still hope..."

Before Ivankov could finish speaking, he noticed that the screams in the distance had disappeared, causing his pupils to shrink to pinpoints.

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead instantly.

Seeing his reaction, Xi Yan's heart sank.

"Hey, why did the Straw Hat's screams stop?!" Bon Clay asked anxiously. "Emporio Ivankov, what's going on?"

"The pain during treatment won't disappear," Ivankov said, his face grim. "That means... the Straw Hat Boy may already be..."

Upon hearing Ivankov's words, Xi Yan's expression immediately turned ugly.

' Luffy dead?'

How is this possible? How could he have collapsed here?

He's a man destined to become the Pirate King, how could he possibly die here?!

Unwilling to believe it, Xi Yan quickly arrived at the Great Gate.

Seeing Xi Yan appear at the Great Gate, Bon Clay cried out, "Little Xi Yan, Straw Hat, he..."

"I don't believe it!"

Seeing the blood slowly flowing out on the ground, Xi Yan's expression turned somewhat ferocious, and then he slashed at it with his sword.

"Clang!"

The sharp strikes easily sliced Great Gate the massive chains on the gate.

Then, without saying a word, Xi Yan opened the Great Gate, intending to go in and check on Luffy's condition.

But the moment he opened the Great Gate, he was stunned.

"Luffy... Luffy!!"

Seeing Luffy struggling to his feet, Xi Yan's eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

"Great, you're still alive!"

Looking at Xi Yan standing at the Great Gate, Luffy a deep breath and then shouted loudly, "I! Want! Food!!!"

"Alright, alright, let's eat!"

Xi Yan smiled and nodded, completely relieved.

"Profound!!"

"Straw Hat is still alive!"

"Very good!!"

"This is simply a miracle of life!"

The people outside cheered at that moment, their expressions filled with excitement.

After all... they witnessed a miracle!

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful!" Bon Clay said, wiping away his tears. "It's so good that Straw Hat survived."

"It recovered in less than a day," Ivankov said, swallowing hard. "Truly astonishing vitality!"

However, Ivankov felt relieved when he realized that this guy was Dragon's son.

After all... that man's vitality was monstrous!

As the other party's son, isn't it normal for him to inherit that monstrous vitality?

"Has Straw Hat recovered?" Inazuma, carrying food, walked in and looked at the distant cave with some surprise.

"Ah, you've recovered." Ivankov nodded and said, "Take the food you're carrying to the door."

Then, he looked at the other transgender people and shouted, "Quick, bring the food over here!"

"Move as much as you can!"

"Profound!!"

The transvestites roared and then quickly ran towards the banquet hall, intending to move all the food there.

This scene left both Crocodile and Jinbe completely stunned.

"What's going on?"

Crocodile, a cigar dangling from his lips, looked at the group of men carrying food with a puzzled expression and asked, "What are you doing?"

Jinbe, who was sitting not far away staring at Crocodile, also looked at them with some doubt.

"Straw Hat has recovered and is now ready to eat," a transvestite explained.

Then, the other party ignored Crocodile, turned around and left with the food, leaving Crocodile and Jinbe somewhat dumbfounded.

'He survived Magellan's Mixed Toxin?' Crocodile thought in shock, 'Just what kind of monster is this kid?'

He knew all too well just how terrifying Magellan's poison was.

After all... quite a few pirates were executed by Magellan on the Sixth Floor!

But this Straw Hat, despite being poisoned by a mixture of Magellan Mixed Toxin, managed to survive... Isn't that a bit too incredible?

At this moment, Crocodile recalled his experiences in Alabasta.

The other party displayed astonishing vitality at that time; even after being drained of his life force, he did not die...

What a terrifying man!

After a brief moment of shock, Jinbe suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, no wonder he's the man that Mr. Ninja follows!"

As he thought about it, Jinbe stood up, intending to go and take a look over there.

Since Straw Hat has already come back to life, there's no need to keep targeting Crocodile.

Watching Jinbe figure, Crocodile thought for a moment and followed him.

Jinbe, noticing the Jinbe behind him, turned around and glanced at Crocodile, then silently activated his Observation Haki and stared intently at him.

Crocodile:...

As if sensing something, Crocodile's face immediately contorted with bulging veins.

'Does this bastard think I won't notice?!'

Not only did she stare at him for over ten hours, but now she's even using Observation Haki to stare at him... Isn't that a bit too disrespectful?!

If it weren't for the fact that fighting here would benefit the navy, he Truth want to kill this bastard!

With these thoughts in mind, Crocodile and Jinbe entered the enormous cave together.

Upon arriving at their destination, they saw a crowd of people, like ants, continuously feeding food into the cave.

Xi Yan sat silently on one side of the cave, eating the meat with bones in his hand.

"Um?"

Looking at Crocodile and Jinbe who had arrived nearby, Xi Yan stood up and said, "What brings you here?"

"Come and see how Luffy's Brother is doing," Jinbe said honestly.

Xi Yan nodded, then looked at Crocodile.

"I told you, I won't lay a hand on him."

Crocodile answered, then stared silently at Luffy, who was frantically eating inside the cave, a hint of amazement in his eyes.

'That's an outrageous eating speed.'

Moreover, Straw Hat's condition is recovering rapidly at a visible pace.

Haha, no wonder he can withstand Magellan's Mixed Toxin.

As if struck by a sudden thought, the man burst into laughter.

Looking at Crocodile suddenly burst into laughter, Xi Yan muttered to himself, 'Could this guy be a lunatic too?'

Forget it, as long as this guy doesn't Luffy, there's no need to bother with him.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan sat down on the ground again and started eating.

"Quickly, keep moving the food!"

"That's right, even raw ones are fine!"

"Click, click~"

Large quantities of food were transported here, and then disappeared at a visible rate.

"That's an astonishing speed at which he eats."

"That's true."

How much longer is he going to eat?

"I don't know," Ivankov shook his head and said, "But since he needs it, we can't stop!"

Ivankov is willing to give up all the food in the New Okama Kingdom if it can restore the Straw Hat Boy!

Soon, to everyone's astonishment, Luffy ate for thirty minutes at an incredibly fast pace.

Their terrifying eating speed and the amount of food they consumed deeply shocked them.

"Phew~"

After finishing the piece of meat in front of him, Luffy let out a long sigh of relief and then shouted, "I'm full!!"

After saying that, Luffy burst into laughter.

This feeling of being full is just wonderful!

"He... he ate several days' worth of food from our New Okama Kingdom all by himself."

"Their vitality and appetite are monstrous."

"What a powerful man!"

"Hey, Straw Hat, you're amazing!"

The transgender people exchanged glances, then burst into laughter and rushed over, tossing the boy, who represented a miracle, into the air.

"Miracle Boy!"

"Long live!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Luffy, who was being tossed around and flew back and forth, burst into laughter.

A moment later, Luffy, back on the ground, looked at Bon Clay and said, "Bon Clay, you're alright."

"Don't joke around, I'm in excellent health!" Bon Clay laughed and said, "I still want to..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly shuddered, then rolled his Byakugan back and collapsed to the ground.

"Hey, Bon Clay, what's wrong?"

"Xi Yan, quickly check on Bon Clay's condition," Luffy said.

Xi Yan didn't speak, but squatted down next to Bon Clay and carefully examined his physical condition. After a moment, he said, "It's probably due to overwork."

"Excessive fatigue?"

"Hmm." Xi Yan nodded and said, "This guy probably didn't get enough rest."

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Ivankov showed a helpless expression and said, "Not everyone is like you."

After an exceptionally difficult battle, an ordinary person needs at least a few days to recover.

But this guy only slept for ten hours; there's no way he could possibly recover.

"As long as it's not a serious injury, that's fine."

Luffy a sigh of relief, then smiled at Ivankov and said, "Ivan-chan, thank you for saving us."

"Ivan-chan?!"

The transvestites stared at Luffy in shock. This guy actually called Lord Ivankov"Ivan-chan"?

"That's a nice nickname," Ivankov smiled, then said seriously, "If you really want to thank someone, thank this Candy Boy."

"If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have had the chance to get here, let alone survive."

Luffy paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Bon Clay, thank you so much, I'm very grateful."

He will always remember this kindness!
