Water Prison Dance of the Swimming Fish!

"Heh, this ninjutsu is pretty good, isn't it?" Xi Yan stood beside Doberman and chuckled, "I prepared it especially for you guys~"

Stimulated by this, coupled with the injury to his arm, Doberman felt his brain growing lighter and lighter.

'My consciousness is starting to blur...'

Damn it, that damned pirate!

Seeing Doberman's condition clearly worsening, Xi Yan's smile widened.

Language, sometimes, is also a weapon!

Glancing at Onigumo, who was glaring at him fiercely, Xi Yan said, "Don't look at me like that. I said I would stop the Buster Call, but... I never said I had to go head-to-head with you."

Fighting with one's brain is what a qualified ninja should do.

At the same time, in a vast body of water, Xi Yan was floating in the center, smiling as he looked at the three Vice Admirals high above.

Then, he clapped his hands together.

Water Prison: Dance of the Swimming Fish!

The next moment, a membrane-like substance appeared on Xi Yan's body, gradually covering him.

This way, he could not only fight underwater for longer but also reduce the resistance of the water flow!

'This move is actually the first time I'm using it against an enemy.'

This ninjutsu was developed by Xi Yan, referencing Kisame Hoshigaki. Even without Samehada, Xi Yan could achieve a similar effect!

However, to deal with the warships, Xi Yan did not anchor himself at the center of the technique. This also made it convenient to use the marines on the warships to tie down the Vice Admirals.

"This bastard..."

The three who had used Geppo to charge out looked at Xi Yan in the water with fury. They had never seen anyone so outrageous.

Others who faced a Buster Call would try to eliminate the high-level combatants. This guy, however, went after the warships first.

But he had to admit, this strategy was indeed effective. Even if they managed to kill this ninja today, the Navy would have lost face completely.

Seeing his subordinates struggling in the seawater, T-Bone's face turned red with veins bulging.

The ordinary ones were one thing, but those who had eaten Devil Fruits were already rolling their eyes!

Hated by the sea, they had no power to resist and could only wait for death in the water.

"Bastard!"

"One Sword Style: Flame Burn!"

"Whoosh~"

The longsword, wrapped in Armament Haki, erupted with dazzling firelight!

A colossal flame slash descended from the sky, striking the vast body of water fiercely!!

"Boom!!"

With a single strike, it actually tore a huge gap in the water body!!

But unfortunately, because Xi Yan, the caster, had not dispelled the ninjutsu, the water body began to repair itself, converging into a circular shape.

T-Bone did not give up this opportunity and shouted loudly, "Everyone, find a way to get out of the water immediately!"

He wasn't sure how many could hear him, but he had to do this.

"I'll go rescue them first," Momonga said.

"Geppo!"

Momonga turned into a shadow and quickly charged towards Onigumo's direction. However, before he could reach the target area, a slender water line flew out.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

"Whoosh~"

Sensing a fatal threat, Momonga immediately used Geppo to stop his body and retreat.

"Pfft!!"

As if slicing tofu, the high-pressure water line hit the long bridge in the distance, directly cutting off one section!

Momonga's pupils constricted. If this had hit his body head-on, could Armament Haki block it?

No wonder Doberman's arm was broken. It was likely this guy who did it underwater with this move!

"I advise you not to come here," Xi Yan said, standing beside Doberman and the other. He grinned, "Otherwise, I'll kill all the Navy in that water!"

"Believe me, I have the strength to do it."

Looking at Xi Yan, who gave him a 'sunny' smile, Momonga's heart sank to the bottom.

"Do you really think you can kill all the Navy under two Vice Admirals?!"

Xi Yan didn't explain, just pointed towards the water.

Momonga turned his head and immediately saw the tragic scene within.

Xi Yan, in the water, was moving at an incredibly terrifying speed, killing quite a few Navy members in an instant.

Afterward, he easily shook off the two pursuing Vice Admirals and continued to hunt others.

During this process, Xi Yan even shot a provocative glance toward Momonga.

Momonga: !!!

Momonga glared with eyes about to split, wishing he could flay the kid alive right now.

But Momonga quickly calmed himself, knowing that anger wouldn't change anything and would instead make him lose his reason.

With decades of experience, he understood the opponent's intention with a little thought: this was a psychological battle!

The opponent was forcing him to choose: either abandon the two Vice Admirals, or abandon the nearly ten thousand Navy soldiers in the water!

How to choose?!

How was he supposed to choose!!!

While Momonga was thinking, many more people died at Xi Yan's hands.

"If you don't interfere here, I naturally won't slaughter the Navy at random," Xi Yan said calmly. "Otherwise, even if you save those two, the five of you still won't be able to stop me from killing."

"Don't forget, I not only have the ability to clone, but I also have Water Release techniques."

"If I wanted to, the water that cut through the warship just now could also cut through their bodies."

Momonga: ...

Momonga fell silent. Should he gamble with the lives of ten thousand Navy soldiers?

These weren't just any Navy members idling away their time in the Four Seas; they were elite soldiers belonging to Navy Headquarters!

Among them were many officer-level officers with great potential. If they all died... the Navy truly couldn't afford such a loss.

'Damn it, hurry up and act! What are you hesitating for?!'

Onigumo glared furiously at Momonga from the water, wondering what this guy was hesitating about.

Even if some soldiers died, it would be a sacrifice for Justice!

Did Momonga really think compromising with pirates would be useful?

Also... couldn't this guy use the enemy's companions' lives to threaten the opponent?

What an idiot!

Perhaps Onigumo's gaze gave Momonga a hint, immediately drawing his attention to Robin and the others' movements.

Momonga's gaze instantly sharpened!

"Kid, I have to say your idea is indeed tricky, but..."

Momonga raised his hand and unleashed a Flying Slash!

"Don't underestimate the Navy's Justice, kid!!"

"Boom!!"

The massive Flying Slash struck the edge of the Water Ball, forcing Xi Yan's clone to retreat. This caused the Water Prison Technique to lose its support and dissipate into water.

Having regained freedom, Onigumo immediately grabbed Doberman beside him and flew into the air using Geppo, gasping for breath.

'I... I'm saved...'

He absolutely did not want to experience that feeling of almost drowning a third time!

Xi Yan, after taking a few steps back, looked up at Momonga and said, "You actually made a move... Aren't you afraid I'll kill more Navy members?"

"Kid, I'm not the only one who can threaten people!" Momonga stared coldly at Xi Yan. "If you continue to slaughter ordinary Navy soldiers, I will kill everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Believe me, I have the strength to do it!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan's expression remained unchanged, which made Momonga somewhat puzzled.

He... wasn't afraid?
