Shakky's Shocked, How Many Celestial Dragons Did He Rob?!

After several days of searching, the World Government finally had no choice but to accept the fact that the Blood-Eyed Ninja's body was missing.

Subsequently, the World Government began reconstruction efforts, aiming to complete the East District Mary Geoise in a very short time.

As a result, a large number of ships carrying supplies appeared near the Red Line, delivering materials for reconstruction to Mary Geoise.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xi Yan retrieved the items that had been stored in the Red Line.

"With these things, our Straw Hat Pirates will never be short of money again," Xi Yan muttered.

After giving the merchant ships one last look, Xi Yan submerged into the sea and swam at an extremely fast speed towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

Soon, Xi Yan returned to the Sabaody Archipelago and saw the familiar old man again.

"Um?"

Looking at the old man leisurely fishing on the boat, Xi Yan, who had transformed back to his previous form using Transformation Technique, asked in surprise, "Old man, fishing again?"

"It's you again, young man."

Looking back at Xi Yan on the shore, the old man smiled and said, "My friend said the fishing was good today, so I decided to come and give it a try."

Upon hearing this, the old man beside him raised an eyebrow and said, "Just tell me if it's good or not."

"Yes, it's really good."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tremendous force came from the Fishing rod in his hand, almost pulling him directly into the water.

"Quick, bring the fish!"

"Profound!!"

Seeing the two old men who were incredibly excited because a fish had taken the bait, Xi Yan smiled, then turned and left.

As they passed through the Number 30 Commercial Street, Xi Yan stopped and muttered, "Should I stop by and exchange some gold?"

The amount of gold we acquired this time is countless; it would be excellent if we could process some of it here.

After thinking for a moment, Xi Yan shook his head and said, "Never mind, let's go find Shakky-jie first."

Ultimately, he didn't know if there were any special markings or anything like that on the gold, so it was best not to make a move rashly.

Just then, Xi Yan saw a little girl selling newspapers, so he reached out and beckoned her over.

"Do you want to buy a newspaper?" the little girl asked Xi Yan expectantly.

"One, please."

Xi Yan squatted down and asked, "Is this the latest issue?"

"Forehead..."

The little girl thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I guess so."

Xi Yan:???

Hearing the little girl's words, several question marks appeared on Xi Yan's mind. What does "consider" mean?

Perhaps sensing Xi Yan's confusion, the little girl explained, "This issue of the newspaper has been published for the past few days, so it's not wrong to say it's the latest issue."

She didn't know why she did it; as long as it sold well, that was all that mattered.

"They've been publishing the same newspaper issue for the past few days...?" Xi Yan muttered to himself.

Could it be that the World Government is spreading the message that it was 'killed'?

While thinking, Xi Yan handed Beli to the little girl and then took the newspaper he wanted from her.

"Transaction complete~"

The little girl smiled and said, "Then... I wish you good health and all the best!"

Upon hearing the little girl's words, Xi Yan laughed and casually took out two thousand Beli from his pocket and gave them to her.

"You have such a sweet tongue. Here, this is a reward for you."

"Thank you, boss!"

After bowing to Xi Yan, the little girl skipped and hopped away into the distance.

Looking at the other person's back, Xi Yan couldn't help but think of that little girl, Merry.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan subconsciously said, "Be careful, little guy."

"Thank you for your concern, Street District Number 30 is very safe." The little girl smiled and waved to Xi Yan, then skipped and hopped away into the distance.

Xi Yan Xi Yan the other person leave without moving, and only withdrew his gaze after the other person entered a newspaper office.

"So you're the newspaper vendor from that magazine?" Xi Yan said with a smile.

Then, he focused his gaze on the newspaper in his hand.

"Just as I expected."

Looking at the newspaper headline that read "[Extremely Evil Criminal, Blood-Eyed Ninja, Has Been Killed]", Xi Yan's lips curled up and he said, "These guys are really spreading this news."

They've been selling this issue of the newspaper for several days in a row... is it an attempt to minimize the impact of this incident?

After thinking for a moment, Xi Yan muttered, "I guess the World Government is trying to send a warning."

It's probably meant to tell the world: anyone who dares to oppose the World Government will only face death!

"But unfortunately, I'm still alive," Xi Yan chuckled.

I wonder what the World Government's reaction will be after they find out they're still alive~

Perhaps as if he had considered some possibility, Xi Yan laughed even more unrestrainedly.

"Um?"

The others looked at Xi Yan with suspicion, wondering why he was standing in the street laughing uncontrollably.

Ignoring the stares of others, Xi Yan put the newspaper in his pocket, then picked up the bag containing the Devil Fruit and turned to leave.

Let's go!

"Xi Yan hasn't made a move for so many days?" Shakky, holding the newspaper, frowned and said, "Could he really have been killed...?"

That shouldn't be the case. With that kid's abilities and strength, even if he couldn't win, he should be able to run away.

After thinking for a moment, Shakky rubbed her temples and said, "I hope this kid is alright."

Just then, the tavern Great Gate was suddenly kicked open, and two people walked in.

"Bump!"

"I heard you like to rip people off here?"

The Short-haired man, who was leading the group, looked at Shakky and said, "I want to see what's going on."

Then, the Short-haired man noticed Shakky's appearance.

"Yo ho~"

"I didn't expect there to be a beauty here!" the Short-haired man exclaimed excitedly. "Quick, bring me some wine!"

"Then have a good drink with me, and you'll get your share of the rewards!"

Looking at the expression on the other person's face, Shakky calmly lit a cigarette and then said, "If it were any other time, I might have played along with your act."

"But now..."

"I'm not in a good mood, so you're just out of luck!"

Short-haired man:???

What's the meaning?

Just as he was wondering what was going on, Shakky, who had been standing right in front of him, vanished in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were already right in front of him.

The next moment...

"Bump!"

A fist brimming with Haki slammed into the guy's head, sending him flying through the air and rushing out the door!

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

It smashed a huge crater into the ground!

"Forehead..."

The man with the shattered skull trembled as he tried to stand up, but his body wouldn't obey him.

Finally, his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.

"Um?"

Looking at the Short-haired man lying not far from him, Xi Yan's eyes flashed with surprise as he asked, "Has someone else come knocking on the door?"

After glancing at the tavern's sign, Xi Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know what these guys are thinking, knowing they'll be ripped off but still going in."

Then, Xi Yan strode forward, intending to go up and check the situation first.

Just then, Shakky emerged from the tavern carrying another unconscious person, saying, "You have no strength but dare to be arrogant... I really don't know how you got here."

After casually tossing the man down, Shakky noticed a man carrying a bag.

"Um?"

Upon seeing the familiar face, Shakky's eyes lit up with joy.

Isn't this Xi Yan using Transformation Technique?

This guy used this face to approach her last time!

Thinking of this, Shakky said, "Little... boy, you're here!"

Shakky originally wanted to Little Xi Yan, but considering that they were outside, she changed her address.

"Yes, I'm here." Xi Yan nodded, then pointed to the two people lying on the ground and asked, "What happened to these two?"

"They've come to cause trouble," Shakky said, flicking her cigarette ash.

"Then how about I..."

"There's no need for that." Shakky shook her head and said, "I was very careful with my actions; they won't live past tonight."

She had a lot of experience dealing with this kind of guy.

Seeing that Shakky had said so, Xi Yan didn't say anything more, and then took the bag and came to Shakky's side.

"What's this?" Shakky asked curiously, looking at the bag in Xi Yan's hand.

Didn't they have that scroll that can seal things? Why did they bring a bag with them?

"There's Devil Fruit inside," Xi Yan said.

"Devil Fruit?"

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Shakky was immediately shocked, and the cigarette in her mouth uncontrollably fell to the ground.

Then, she exclaimed in shock, "You brought back a bag of Devil Fruit?"

No, did they just rob a few Celestial Dragons?

"It's not that exaggerated," Xi Yan said. "It's mainly because the boxes take up a lot of space."

"That's still quite a lot."

After Shakky finished speaking, she looked around and then said, "Let's go inside."

Xi Yan nodded upon hearing this, and then followed Shakky back into the house.

"Um?"

Looking at the open Great Gate, Xi Yan asked, "Where's the door?"

"They kicked him out."

Xi Yan:...

No wonder Shakky-jie was so angry; it turns out she kicked her door down!

Tsk, those two deserve it.

After casually tossing the bag on the ground, Xi Yan turned around, picked up the door that had been kicked off, and then walked to the Great Gate to start repairing Great Gate.

"Um?"

Shakky, who was about to fix the Great Gate herself, was taken aback when she saw this, then laughed and said, "You can do this too?"

"It's just fixing Great Gate, it's not a technical job," Xi Yan said without looking up.

Shakky smiled and nodded upon hearing this, then turned around and went back to the bar to pour Xi Yan a glass of good wine.

Then she lit another cigarette for herself.

"Hiss... whoosh..."

After exhaling a smoke ring, Shakky picked up her coffee, took a sip, and her expression became somewhat relaxed.

Soon, under Xi Yan 'Xi Yan control, the Great Gate was restored to its original state.

After casually putting the tools back into his Ninja Tool Bag, Xi Yan deactivated his Transformation Technique, returning to his original form, and then said, "Fixed."

"Why is your thing like a treasure chest?" Shakky complained, "It has all sorts of things!"

He just casually pulled out tools to repair the Great Gate... That's outrageous.

"As Ninja, isn't it normal to have a lot of repair tools?" Xi Yan said with a chuckle.

Of course, most of the time he was in charge of fixing people.

Shakky shook her head upon hearing this, then pushed the glass of wine in front of Xi Yan and said, "Try it, it's the newest one."

Xi Yan picked it up, took a bite, and then gave a thumbs up, saying, "It tastes great!"

"If you like it, that's good."

Shakky smiled and nodded, then flicked her cigarette ash and said, "Tell me, what have you been through lately?"

She was genuinely Xi Yan's experiences during this time, after all... this guy single-handedly stormed into Mary Geoise and escaped unscathed!

There are very few people like this throughout history!

"It's nothing much, just caused a ruckus in Mary Geoise and killed a few Celestial Dragons in the process," Xi Yan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shakky rolled her eyes and said, "Tell me something I don't know."

What Xi Yan said has already been reported in the newspapers, so there's no need to mention it again.

"All right."

After putting down his wine glass, Xi Yan scratched his head and said, "After leaving you that day, I planned to use my Transformation Technique to become World Government official and infiltrate Mary Geoise, but I encountered a slave-trapping ship on the way, so I changed my mind."

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Shakky raised an eyebrow and said, "You plan to use Transformation Technique to become someone on the slave-catching ship?"

"Yes."

Xi Yan nodded and said, "After killing everyone on that slave ship, I used Transformation Technique to look like them."

Shakky pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "What did you do with the slaves on the ship?"

Since the slave-catching ship was going to Mary Geoise, it couldn't possibly be empty, so she was very Xi Yan dealt with those slaves.

"Not as much as you think."

Xi Yan shook his head and said, "There were only two idiots who got caught on that ship."

"Fool?"

"Yes, you idiot."

Xi Yan said somewhat helplessly, "You might not believe it, but I met Camie up there."

"And the other one is her friend."

Shakky:...

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Shakky stopped smoking and then showed a speechless expression.

"Why is it her...?"

After getting caught once, this idiot actually dared to go out to sea again?

Does she even realize the seriousness of the problem?

After shaking her head, Shakky asked, "So, how was she arrested?"

"From what she said... when she went out to find shellfish with her friends, they were swallowed by Sea Kings," Xi Yan said. "Afterwards, the Sea Kings was captured by the Slave Capture Group, so those two..."

Xi Yan didn't finish her sentence, but Shakky still understood what she meant.

"Isn't this girl's luck a bit too much...?"

Shakky wore a complicated expression, unsure of what to say for a moment.
