Magellan, Eat My Spear!!!

"Looks like these guys have spotted us," Ivankov said, staring at the distant warships. "The cannons are already aimed at us."

"Isn't it normal to be discovered while riding in such a behemoth?" Crocodile said calmly.

He wasn't surprised at all, after all, the Sea Kings below was hundreds of meters long!

Even if only its head is above the water now, it's still a behemoth in other people's eyes!

"So what if we found it?" Luffy said nonchalantly. "We're almost there anyway."

The Erha could easily cover that distance, so it wasn't afraid of being attacked.

Just then, Xi Yan spoke up, "Why haven't I seen Bon Clay?"

Where did that guy go?

Standing on the high ground, he glanced at the crowd behind him but did not see any trace of Bon Clay.

"Yeah," Luffy chimed in, realizing what was happening. "Where did Bon Clay go?"

"I think... he must have gone to find the Gate of Justice Switch," Jinbe said.

At that moment, he recalled what he had said to Bon Clay earlier.

When the other person heard what I said, their eyes changed, as if they had made some kind of decision.

After that... the man disappeared.

"Searching for the Gate of Justice Switch..."

Xi Yan covered his face, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Even if this is something to be done, it should be done by him, the Ninja. Why did Bon Clay go and open the Great Gate instead?

Doesn't this guy know the consequences of staying in Underwater Great Prison?!

But when he thought of that transvestite's serious face, Xi Yan fell silent again.

'This guy definitely knows what will happen!'

Even so, the other party still went ahead and did it without hesitation.

Because of... friendship?

At this moment, the words of that transvestite resurfaced in Xi Yan's mind.

(Straw Hat, for the sake of our friendship, I'll do everything I can to help you!)

This man really lives up to his word!

"Hey, Xi Yan!"

Luffy rushed to Xi Yan, grabbed his shoulder, and said, "You have to rescue Bon Clay!"

Bon Clay was an important friend of his, and he didn't want him to die in the Underwater Great Prison.

"Don't worry," Xi Yan said, "I will definitely rescue Bon Clay."

After speaking, Xi Yan glanced at Luffy's hand gripping his arm, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness.

That idiot really doesn't know his own strength; isn't he afraid of crushing his own Shadow Clone?

Once this clone explodes, no one will be able to command the Erha below.

"That's good."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Luffy released his grip on Xi Yan's hand.

He believed that Xi Yan could definitely bring Bon Clay out alive.

Just then, the naval warships in the distance opened fire.

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

A barrage of shells flew in from afar, heading straight for the Erha!

"Oh no, they've opened fire!" Buggy shouted.

Crocodile glanced at Buggy, somewhat speechless. They weren't blind; did they need this guy to remind them?

Instead of arguing here, we should intercept the shells.

Of course, Crocodile didn't expect this useless guy who hung out with Mr. 3 to be of any use, so he decisively took action.

"Sandstorm!"

A small sandstorm appeared in Crocodile's hand, which he then hurled away.

"Whoosh~"

This terrible sandstorm grew rapidly with the wind, eventually becoming an enormous sandstorm!

Then, all the incoming shells were swept in and detonated in mid-air!

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

Clusters of sparks exploded in the sandstorm, attempting to blast away the sand that enveloped them.

But before the sand could be thrown out, it was pulled back by the force of the sandstorm.

The sandstorm then flew further away, gradually disappearing from the area.

This scene deeply shocked the navy.

"No... invalid?!"

"Damn it, what are we going to do if the shells don't work?"

"Continue the attack!" the Rear Admiral roared. "Don't stop!"

While cannonballs might not be effective, they would have no chance against so many powerful opponents in a boarding action!

So the only option is to try using artillery shells!

"Yes!"

Without hesitation, the navy, having received the order, immediately loaded the warships with shells and then launched an artillery barrage.

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

Here we go again!

Seeing the approaching shells, Mr. 3 shouted, "Quick, defend!"

Crocodile remained unmoved, which left Mr. 3 speechless.

Could it be that this person isn't planning to make any further moves?

'Damn it, if that's the case...'

To avoid falling into the sea and drowning, Mr. 3 rushed to Xi Yan's side without hesitation and activated his Devil Fruit ability towards the sky!

Seeing this, Xi Yan, who was about to activate his Ninjutsu for defense, paused for a moment, thinking: 'Is this guy planning to defend with candles?'

Can this thing also attack air units?

Ignoring Xi Yan's thoughts, Mr. 3 focused on activating his Devil Fruit ability.

"Candle and Firewall!"

"Whoosh!"

Mr. 3 lifted an enormous wall of candles into the air, effectively blocking the cannonballs.

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

That enormous wall of candles really did block all the cannonballs!

"Profound!!"

"Third Brother, you're so strong!"

Seeing Mr. 3's retreating figure, the prisoners who came out with Buggy and the others immediately cheered loudly.

"Hmph, it seems you, this piece of trash, are still somewhat useful after all," Crocodile snorted.

"Phew~"

Ignoring Crocodile's words, Mr. 3 breathed a sigh of relief and then prepared to say something.

Before he could even speak, he felt an astonishing force emanating from the candle in his hand. This force pulled him off balance, and his body uncontrollably slid towards the sea.

Mr. 3:!!!

Mr. 3's heart skipped a beat when he glanced at the enormous wall of candles that had crashed onto the sea.

'This candle is so heavy, it'll surely drag me into the sea!'

Thinking of this, Mr. 3 didn't hesitate to discard that part of the candle and pull his body out of it, thus avoiding the fate of falling into the sea.

"Phew~"

After regaining his balance, Mr. 3 let out a long sigh of relief.

We survived!

"Hmph, as expected, he's still a piece of trash," Crocodile said.

Mr. 3:...

Depend on!

Do you think he wanted this?

If it weren't for protecting everyone, would he have done this?

Thinking about this, Mr. 3 felt somewhat unconvinced.

But when he turned around and saw Crocodile's expression, he immediately composed himself.

"Alright, we're almost there," Xi Yan said. "Once we're on board, seize a warship as quickly as possible!"

"Profound!!"

Looking at the spirited crowd, Xi Yan said, "Once we seize the warship, we'll immediately head towards the Gate of Justice."

"Huh?!"

"Why?"

Ivankov looked at Xi Yan in shock and said, "Your real body and Bon Clay are still at Underwater Great Prison."

If we head straight to the Gate of Justice, wouldn't we be leaving those two behind?

"That's right, Ninja Bro, we can't leave you in Underwater Great Prison!"

"That's right, and so is Brother Feng. Since he's willing to open the Gate of Justice, we can't possibly abandon him!"

Everyone disagreed with Xi Yan's statement and clearly did not want to leave the two men in the Underwater Great Prison.

Xi Yan smiled helplessly, then looked at Luffy and said, "Luffy, you should know what I mean, right?"

"Yes, I know," Luffy nodded.

Xi Yan is a powerful Ninja who can move freely on the sea!

Even with a Bon Clay by my side, I can catch up with them using Water Release Technique.

Thinking of this, Luffy said, "Let's do as Xi Yan says. He'll definitely be able to catch up with Bon Clay."

"You mean... relying on Water Release Technique?" Jinbe asked.

Xi Yan had just told him that this Sea Kings would leave the Underwater Great Prison immediately after they stole the warship.

That means that Xi Yan's true form does not rely on the Sea Kings to move.

Then... only Water Release Technique remains!

Can Water Release Technique be used to move quickly in Calm Belt?

"Yes, it's Water Release Technique." Xi Yan nodded, then said, "Anyway, you all just go to the Gate of Justice together, and I'll catch up with you later with Bon Clay."

Seeing that Xi Yan had said so, Jinbe didn't know what to say and nodded in acceptance.

Seeing this, the others also shut their mouths and chose to believe Xi Yan.

"Alright, enough with the sentimentality." Crocodile took flight and declared, "Prepare for boarding action!"

"Profound!!"

As the warship drew ever closer, the people on Erha's head suddenly revealed bloodthirsty expressions.

"Navy, let's fight!"

"Hateful."

Seeing the pirates charging towards them with howls, the Rear Admiral roared, "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"Profound!!"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

On the underground level of the Underwater Great Prison, Xi Yan and Magellan were still engaged in a fierce battle.

However, due to the unique and miraculous nature of the Xi Yan Susanoo, Magellan's Venomous Demon Soldiers had already been decimated.

Not only did he lose his hands and head, but his body was also badly mutilated.

Finally, Magellan was forced to emerge from the Highly Poisonous Demon Soldier and dispel the ability.

"Damn it, what kind of bizarre ability is this?" Magellan said to Xi Yan with a gloomy expression, "It can actually make my Highly Poisonous Demon Soldier lose their form."

Although he can still use his Devil Fruit powers, he is unable to repair the body of the Venomous Demon Soldiers with his venom.

This left him very puzzled; how exactly did the other party manage to do that?

"I'll say it again," said Xi Yan, standing Susanoo, arms crossed, looking at Magellan, "I have no interest in answering your question."

"You can guess for yourself~"

What are the effects of this ability?

Sorry, he had no interest in explaining the abilities of his artifact to the enemy in detail.

"Even if you don't say it, I can guess a thing or two," Magellan said with a sly smile. "It's probably some kind of Rule Type ability."

Only Rule Type abilities can reach this level.

What puzzled Magellan was why his Observation Haki couldn't detect the physical form of this ability.

Even Devil Fruit abilities like invisibility can be detected by Observation Haki.

'Wait a minute... the data doesn't confirm that this guy is Devil Fruit User!'

Thinking of this, Magellan's expression immediately darkened.

'If that's the case, his invisible, Rule Type abilities might not be Devil Fruit power, but rather an ability he inherently possesses!'

Thinking of this, a look of horror appeared in Magellan's eyes.

Does such a power even exist in this world?

Seeing Magellan's constantly changing expression, Xi Yan smiled but did not answer his question.

Then, Xi Yan said, "Magellan, your time is running out!"

"Perhaps it won't be long before the warships..."

Before Xi Yan Xi Yan could finish speaking, he sensed the message from the Shadow Clone and then changed the subject, saying, "Hmm, it seems you really don't have time."

Magellan:???

What's the meaning?

What do you mean he really doesn't have time?

Xi Yan didn't pay any attention, but instead glanced in the direction of the control room, thinking to himself: 'That guy Bon Clay...'

He actually went into the monitoring room all by himself, that's really... a true friend!!

That makes it even less likely that he'll let this guy die here!

'The direction this guy is looking in...'

Magellan glanced in the direction the other person was looking, then his expression darkened as he said, "Are you eyeing the surveillance room?"

It seems the other party already knows about the special nature of the Gate of Justice; they probably got the information from one of the prison guards.

'Damn it, this hypnotic ability is truly disgusting!' Magellan thought to himself.

Immortality, hypnosis, and all sorts of powerful Ninjutsu... This kind of person only has a bounty of 400 million?

Are you sure you didn't give too little?!

"Looks like you're not so stupid after all," Xi Yan grinned. "That's right, I really am after the surveillance room."

"You think I'll let you succeed?!" Magellan roared, "Even without the Highly Poisonous Demon Soldier, I can still keep you here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of deep red venom erupted from beneath Magellan's feet once again.

Then, the venom rushed towards Xi Yan.

Xi Yan didn't pay any attention, but simply manipulated Susanoo raise its arm and point the spear at Magellan.

"Magellan."

"What, you wouldn't happen to be...?"

Before Magellan could finish speaking, Xi Yan shouted, "You diarrhea-prone bastard, take my spear!!"

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Magellan's expression immediately changed after being interrupted.

At that moment, the images from the Fourth Floor resurfaced in his mind, instantly plunging him into a state of rage.

"Blood-Eyed Ninja!!"

"I'm going to kill you!" Magellan roared.

As he roared, the crimson venom beneath his feet began to boil, looking as if it were about to burst into flames!!!

Seeing this, Xi Yan grinned and then threw the spear in his hand without hesitation!

"Whoosh~"

The pale golden spear, imbued with powerful kinetic energy, struck Magellan without mercy.

The pale golden spear easily pierced through the surging crimson venom, then continued its flight towards Magellan!

Upon seeing this, Magellan's expression immediately changed.

At that moment, he felt a deadly threat, as if being hit by this weapon would certainly mean death.

With that thought in mind, he didn't hesitate to wrap his arms with Armament Haki, then crossed his arms in front of him to block the attack.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

Magellan, having forcefully blocked the attack, was launched into the air and flew rapidly backward, smashing through several prison cells before finally coming to a stop.

"Damn it, get out of here!" Magellan roared.

As Magellan exerted force, the pale golden spear gradually shifted to the left, while the force on it diminished.

'Great, it can block it!'

Just then, Magellan's stomach suddenly growled, accompanied by a sharp pain.

'Damn it, of all times...'

Magellan, writhing in excruciating pain in his stomach, caused the Haki in his hands to dissipate uncontrollably.

The next moment...

"Puff!"

The pale golden spear, unsurprisingly, pierced Magellan's left arm, pinning it to the wall.

Then, the pale golden spear, having lost its momentum, gradually disappeared from its original location.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock!"

Drops of blood fell to the ground, the sound like the ticking of a clock's second hand.

"What on earth is this guy's ability?!"

Magellan's expression turned grim as he glanced at his pierced left arm.

Although the deadly threat had disappeared, he still had a bad feeling.

It was as if something terrible was about to happen.

Thinking of this, Magellan looked warily at the Xi Yan in the distance.

Just then, he noticed the other person giving him a meaningful smile.

Magellan:!!!

This meaningful smile made Magellan's heart skip a beat; he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

'Damn it, this guy definitely did something to harm me!'

No, we can't delay any longer; we must finish this quickly!

But before he could make a move, he discovered that Xi Yan had burrowed underground and left.

Seeing this, Magellan's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "Is this guy planning to go to the control room?!"

Understanding the other party's purpose, Magellan endured the excruciating pain in his left arm and stood up.

Then, the man ran towards the control room without hesitation.

"Damn Blood-Eyed Ninja, even if it means death, I'll leave you here!!!"
