Hancock's Man Shining with Light, Xi Yan Was Truly Too Strong!

"Quickly, move forward as fast as you can!" Hancock said. "I want to get back to Amazon Lily as soon as possible!"

Hearing Hancock's words, Sander Sonia's face showed a helpless expression.

"Older Sister Lord, we're moving forward at top speed now."

She knew her older sister wanted to go back as soon as possible, but the problem was... that's how fast the ship was going.

Hancock frowned upon hearing this, clearly dissatisfied with the answer, but she didn't say anything more, after all... her sister wouldn't lie to her.

Seeing Hancock's furrowed brows, Marguerite paused for a moment before changing the subject, "Older Sister Lord, tell us what happened at Navy Headquarters."

"Navy Headquarters...?"

"Hmm." Marguerite nodded and said, "Did anything noteworthy happen?"

Upon hearing this, Hancock immediately perked up.

"Some!"

"What is it?" Marguerite asked quickly.

"I've witnessed the power of the Xi Yan!" Hancock exclaimed with a lovesick expression, "Unparalleled power!"

Marguerite:???

Marguerite looked at her older sister with a puzzled expression. So, her sister had been watching Xi Yan the whole time?

That's... right.

Sander Sonia looked at Hancock with some confusion and said, "Unparalleled... powerful?!"

Wasn't there Whitebeard and Marine Admiral in that battle at Navy Headquarters? What's with Xi Yan displaying unparalleled strength?

Could he be stronger than the Admiral and Whitebeard?

This... this can't be possible.

Those are the Four Emperors and their Admiral!!!

"That's right, unparalleled power!!" Hancock said.

The fact that they could fight three Marine Admiral without being at a disadvantage speaks volumes about Xi Yan's strength!

Recalling what she had seen at Navy Headquarters, Hancock's eyes began to sparkle.

And the Xi Yan in those scenes... was constantly shimmering with light!

Ah~

Xi Yan is just too dazzling~

Sander Sonia paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Older Sister Lord, you have to tell us what he actually did."

"Alright, then I'll tell you about it," Hancock said. "In that battle at Navy Headquarters, he fought against all Three Admirals and remained undefeated!!"

"Varied...?!"

Upon hearing Hancock's words, both Sander Sonia and Marguerite looked on in disbelief.

How could he fight against the Three Admirals of the Navy without being defeated?

This... this is terrifying!

Doesn't this mean that the other party is even stronger than their Older Sister Lord?!

Upon realizing this, both of their pupils contracted.

"The strength of Xi Yan is actually this strong..." Marguerite said, swallowing hard.

It seems that Xi Yan didn't hold a grudge against them before, otherwise... one of them could have taken over Amazon Lily by himself!

"It is extremely powerful."

Recalling the Fleet Admiral's headache-inducing look when he saw Xi Yan, a smile appeared on Hancock's face.

"It seems I underestimated this person's strength," Sander Sonia remarked.

She had initially thought this person was about as strong as her Older Sister Lord, but... she was so strong!

"Not only is their strength formidable, Xi Yan's various abilities are also incredibly powerful," Hancock said. "For example... their immortality!"

With this capability, the Navy really has no way to deal with Xi Yan.

"Immortality?" Sander Sonia exclaimed in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

Is it possible for someone in this world to be immortal?

This is absolutely shocking.

Marguerite frowned and said, "Immortality...?"

Oh~

She understood!

No wonder my Older Sister Lord said Xi Yan was unkillable; it turns out he's immortal.

This explains why my Older Sister Lord said that back then.

but...

'How did he do that?' Marguerite thought to herself. 'To be able to remain immortal...'

Did they eat some kind of special Devil Fruit?

Thinking about this, Marguerite fell into deep thought.

"It may sound unbelievable, but it's true," Hancock said.

It can be said that as long as Xi Yan doesn't want to, no one in this world can kill him!

"Possessing the strength to fight the Three Admirals of the Navy, plus an immortal body..." Sander Sonia swallowed hard and said, "The Navy must be having a terrible headache right now."

"More or less."

Recalling the reaction of the navy when they discovered that Xi Yan possessed immortality, Hancock couldn't help but laugh.

No matter what kind of attack the navy launches, they cannot kill this powerful Ninja!

"The navy must have suffered considerable losses as well," Marguerite said.

"Yes, it's very big."

Hancock nodded and said, "The Navy has been severely weakened by this war."

If the problem of combat capability cannot be solved, the navy will be unable to continue fulfilling its naval duties.

"And how did the war end?" Sander Sonia asked.

"The Whitebeard Pirates rescued Fire Fist Ace after suffering heavy casualties," Hancock said.

"So, the Whitebeard Pirates have achieved a complete victory?"

"That's not the case." Hancock shook her head and said, "Whitebeard died in the final battle, so strictly speaking, the Navy won."

As the war drew to a close, Hancock also discerned the Navy's true intentions.

These guys' goal from the very beginning was to kill Whitebeard!

Fire Fist Ace and the Whitebeard Pirates were just bystanders.

After all... without Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, the Whitebeard Pirates are no longer a threat!!

"Even someone like that could die in battle?" Marguerite exclaimed in shock.

That's Four Emperors, who holds the title of ' the World's Strongest Man '!

"His strength is indeed formidable, but... he's getting old after all," Hancock said. "Besides, he was involved in that level of war."

Whitebeard probably guessed from the very beginning that he might die at Navy Headquarters, but he still went...

I must say, he was truly an admirable guy!

"It seems even the World's Strongest Man can't resist the erosion of time..." Marguerite sighed.

"That's true," Sander Sonia nodded in agreement.

Time really does treat everyone fairly.

"And then what?" Marguerite asked, "How did the Whitebeard Pirates leave Navy Headquarters?"

She remembered that there was a Marine Admiral at Navy Headquarters who could freeze the sea!

With that guy around, the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't even be able to leave if they wanted to.

Unless someone is willing to stay and fight Marine Admiral Aokiji to the death, Aokiji will have no way to freeze the sea!

However, the person who stayed behind might...

'Could it be that the one who stayed behind is Whitebeard?' Marguerite wondered to himself.

It's not impossible.

Despite his severe injuries, he single-handedly held off the Navy Headquarters, giving the Whitebeard Pirates a chance to escape... This gave the Whitebeard Pirates a chance to leave Navy Headquarters!

'Of course, it's also possible that Xi Yan stayed behind to cover their retreat,' Marguerite murmured to himself.

After all... Xi Yan possesses an immortal body!

A man like that has nothing to fear from being ganged up on by the navy!

"The Navy originally didn't intend to let the Whitebeard Pirates go, but because another Four Emperors has appeared, they had no choice but to give up," Hancock said.

"Another Four Emperors?" Marguerite exclaimed in shock. "Who is it?"

"Redhead!"

"Redhead?"

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Grandma Za looked shocked and said, "You mean, Shanks went to Navy Headquarters to mediate?"

"Yes."

Xi Yan nodded and said, "This guy said, 'If anyone still wants to fight, then fight our Red Hair Pirates! We'll fight to the bitter end!'"

"That's quite a show," Grandma Za muttered.

Did they forcefully demand everyone stop as soon as they entered the room?

Is he really not afraid of the Navy or the Whitebeard Pirates going to their deaths with him?

However, after thinking about the strength of the Red Hair Pirates, Grandma Za felt relieved.

They were indeed fearless, after all... the Red Hair Pirates were truly strong!

"He was indeed very high-profile," Xi Yan said, "But it was precisely because of this guy that the war was able to end."

"Otherwise, leaving won't be an easy thing at all."

After all... Marine Admiral Aokiji freeze the ocean!

With this guy around, it's practically impossible for them to leave by boat.

Of course, if they could quickly take down Aokiji, they could leave Navy Headquarters without any problems.

However... this is not an easy task, after all, it involves Marine Admiral!

"No wonder Luffy mentions this person so often," Merry said, resting her chin on her hand. "He really is a good person."

If it weren't for this man, it wouldn't have been easy for Xi Yan and the others to leave.

"A good person?"

Grandma Za raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to use such words to describe a pirate?"

Those are the Four Emperors!!!

"Isn't that right?" Merry looked at Grandma Za with doubt and said, "He did help Xi Yan and the others."

Isn't someone who helped her friend a good person?

My Grandma Za:...

That's what it means.

From Merry's perspective, the other person was indeed a good person.

Xi Yan smiled upon hearing this, reached out and ruffled Merry's hair, saying, "Yes, to us, he really is a good person."

Speaking of which, that guy even saved Luffy's life once.

"Hehe, I knew it!"

A smile appeared on Merry's face as Xi Yan patted her head, and her legs began to swing back and forth, clearly indicating that she was in a very good mood.

After smiling, Xi Yan turned his gaze to Grandma Za and said, "In short... it was because of Shanks that the Navy gave up pursuing us and chose to Ceasefire."

"And we took this opportunity to leave Navy Headquarters."

Grandma Za nodded upon hearing this, then said with some emotion, "I never expected that Sengoku would actually compromise with Shanks."

Are they afraid of this Four Emperors?

Or is there some other reason?

After thinking for a while and realizing she couldn't figure it out, my Grandma Za gave up trying to solve the problem.

"What can he do if he doesn't compromise?" Xi Yan shrugged. "Continuing the fight will be detrimental to their navy."

Although the Whitebeard Uncle died in battle, their high-level combat power is still intact!

If Shanks were willing to join forces with them... the Navy would be in serious trouble!

"That's true," Grandma Za said.

Although the navy has five Admiral, they are indeed unable to defeat these people.

After all... the Red Hair Pirates have two extremely powerful individuals!

Just then, Merry said, "By the way, Xi Yan, I just heard you mention a guy called Blackbeard. Who is that person?"

"Him...?"

Recalling the man's face, Xi Yan said, "Just an ambitious schemer."

"I remember he's the new Shichibukai, right?" Grandma Za said.

As she spoke, the image of the Blackbeard from the newspaper flashed into Grandma Za's mind.

Then she thought to herself, 'Why does this guy look so familiar?'

It was as if... she had seen it somewhere before.

But Grandma Za thought, she couldn't remember where she had seen the other person before.

Is it just my imagination?

Thinking about this, Grandma Za fell into deep thought.

"That's right, he is indeed the New Shichibukai." Xi Yan nodded and said, "However, he only accepted this title to achieve his own goals."

"Achieve your goal?"

"Yes."

Xi Yan said, "From what he's saying... he only became Shichibukai to get closer to Underwater Great Prison."

After recalling Blackbeard's conversation with Sengoku, Xi Yan nodded affirmatively.

Then he thought to himself, 'Those new faces with that guy must be prisoners from Underwater Great Prison.'

Is it to gain a few powerful subordinates?

Tsk, interesting.

'This would certainly increase the strength of my pirate crew quickly, but... such subordinates might not be loyal,' Xi Yan murmured to himself.

Could it be that Blackbeard is following the same path as Rocks?

Recalling Grandma Za had said before, Xi Yan fell into deep thought.

"What are we doing approaching the Underwater Great Prison?" Grandma Za asked, puzzled.

"Let's recruit some powerful pirates as subordinates."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Za was stunned for a moment, then murmured to herself, "He does resemble that guy somewhat..."

It was at this moment that the image of Rocks appeared in her mind.

Then, a startling thought popped into Grandma Za's mind.

'Why does Blackbeard look a bit like Rocks?' Grandma Za thought to herself in surprise.

Could that guy be a descendant of Rocks?

However, the thought was quickly extinguished by Grandma Za, after all... the World Government had investigated everything about Rocks!

So that guy is most likely not a descendant of Rocks, otherwise he would have died long ago!

'It's probably just someone who looks similar,' Grandma Za thought to herself.

After shaking her head inwardly, Grandma Za quickly dismissed the strange idea.

"But there's something I don't quite understand," said Little Merry, resting her chin on her hand. "He already has some powerful allies, so why does he still want to go to Navy Headquarters?"

"To gain fame by killing Whitebeard," Grandma Za guessed.

If he really does kill Whitebeard, then this guy will become famous overnight.

It's not impossible that he could become the next Four Emperors!

"That should be one of the reasons," Xi Yan said, squinting. "But I always feel he has some other purpose."

"Other purposes?"

Grandma Za looked puzzled, then asked, "Did you discover something?"

"After killing the Whitebeard Uncle, that guy covered the Whitebeard Uncle's body with a black cloth, it looks like he was planning to do something."

"What are you doing?" Grandma Za asked, frowning.

Could it be... that guy plans to take Whitebeard's head with him?

But that doesn't make sense. If they just wanted to take Whitebeard's head, there would be no need to cover him with a black cloth.

"I don't know." Xi Yan shook his head and said, "I can't figure out what this guy is trying to do either."

"But I didn't let him succeed."

What have you done now?

"I used Earth Release Technique is a technique used in Chinese fantasy novels) to retrieve the Whitebeard Uncle's body," Xi Yan said with a smirk.

Grandma Za paused for a moment after hearing this, then gave a thumbs-up and said, "Well done!!"

Meanwhile, on the other side...

On Calm Belt sea, a person is floating on the surface of the water.

"Trying to swim across the Calm Belt is no easy feat," Rayleigh said, sounding somewhat troubled.

But there was nothing he could do; his ship had been destroyed by Sea Kings.

After shaking his head, Rayleigh took out the Vivre Card from his pocket and glanced at it.

He then turned his gaze to the southwest.

"There..." Rayleigh muttered.

After putting away the Vivre Card, Rayleigh plunged into the sea and swam forward at top speed.

He needs to get to Amazon Lily as quickly as possible!
