Summoning Technique, The Shocked Marines!

The Vice Captain blinked upon hearing this, then grinned and said, "Really reliable."

Although this little girl was a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, he felt that she was exceptionally reliable.

Then, as if he understood something, he leaned closer to Merry and said, "Little one, were you kidnapped by the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"If that's the case, then you'll come with us..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt many terrifying gazes, and cold sweat broke out on his brow, causing his words to catch in his throat.

"Gurgle..."

After subconsciously swallowing, the Vice Captain turned around and glanced behind him, only to find the Straw Hat Pirates staring at him with intense, intimidating gazes.

'That look in his eyes...'

Is this a plan to kill him?

But the thought that this cute little girl might have been kidnapped by the Straw Hat Pirates forced him to suppress his feelings.

"You evil pirates!" The Vice Captain drew his weapon and said, "I will not allow you to kidnap a child!"

After saying that, the Vice Captain moved a step forward, shielding Merry behind him.

To his surprise, the oppressive feeling disappeared after he said those words.

Vice Captain:???

What's the meaning?

Seeing that the Straw Hat Pirates were no longer responding to him, the Vice Captain was full of question marks.

"This bearded man..." Merry gently patted the Vice Captain's arm and said, "I wasn't kidnapped by them. I've always been a member of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"You can also call me Merry, the apprentice of the Straw Hat Pirates ~"

Upon hearing Merry's words, the Vice Captain subconsciously stroked his beard, then turned to Merry with a puzzled look and asked, "Really?"

"Yes."

Seeing that Merry wasn't being threatened or lying, the Vice Captain walked aside, somewhat disheartened, and said, "Even such young kids are becoming pirates these days... sigh."

What's wrong with this world?

Why are there so many pirates on this sea?

For a moment, the Vice Captain became somewhat withdrawn.

Seeing this, Xi Yan smiled and then looked at his companions, saying, "What this guy said has confirmed some of my thoughts."

"What are your thoughts?"

"If they are trustworthy, it wouldn't be a bad idea to hand the children over to them," Xi Yan said.

It wouldn't be a problem for them to deliver the children one by one, but if there were a better way, the Straw Hat Pirates wouldn't need to go themselves.

"Can they handle it?" Nami asked, frowning.

Having gone through certain events, Nami instinctively developed a distrust of the Navy.

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, the Navy is indeed more trustworthy than us pirates in the eyes of the public," Sanji said. "So handing it over to them is the most appropriate thing to do."

After saying that, Sanji paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, that's assuming they're trustworthy."

Just as Xi Yan said, he wouldn't have agreed to hand those brats over to the navy if the other party wasn't trustworthy.

Nami paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Let's find the children first."

This time, the others simply nodded and said nothing more.

The surrounding Marines looked at Nami and her companions with puzzled expressions, clearly not understanding what they meant.

Just then, a roaring sound came from outside the research institute, as if something terrifying was rushing towards them.

"Poisonous Gas!" a navy officer shouted in terror.

"Can the Great Gate hold up?"

"It's definitely possible, it's definitely possible!"

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

The terrifying impact slammed into the Great Gate, causing the newly secured Great Gate to sway slightly, as if it were about to fall through the gap.

Upon seeing this, Merry's expression immediately changed.

"Withstand!"

As she spoke, she raised her hands and carefully controlled the Great Gate in front of her, fearing that the Poisonous Gas outside would come in and kill her companions.

"Keep up the good work, little one!"

"Come on!"

The surrounding navy personnel were also watching Merry nervously, fearing that the little one might not be able to withstand the pressure and release the Poisonous Gas.

After all... they would all die that way!

"Squeak~"

"Squeak~"

"Squeak!"

"Gurgle..."

The Vice Captain subconsciously swallowed, his legs feeling weak.

You absolutely must hold on, otherwise the Poisonous Gas will kill them all!

As time passed, the force that shook the Great Gate gradually diminished, eventually returning to calm.

"Alright."

Merry wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "It's all right now."

This feeling of having to use the wind to do delicate work is just too tiring.

The sailors exchanged glances upon hearing this, then excitedly shouted, "Great!"

"Little guy, you're amazing!"

"Profound!!"

Those who have survived a life-or-death ordeal are filled with a sense of relief and joy.

Tears were streaming down her face.

Some people were so excited that they lifted Little Merry up and tossed her into the air.

"Merry!"

"Merry!"

"Merry!"

Hahaha~

As they tossed and turned, Merry wore a happy smile, clearly enjoying the feeling.

Usopp, who had witnessed all of this, shook his head and chuckled, "I didn't expect Merry to have so much fun with these Marines."

This little guy seems to have a really strong influence.

Xi Yan, stroking his chin, said, "No wonder that old man Garp wanted to capture Merry and bring her back to the Navy."

This little guy is so adorable.

Usopp:???

Usopp looked at Xi Yan with a puzzled expression and said, "Is that so?"

How could he not know?

"Oh, this happened in Water Seven," Nami said.

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately understood.

At that time, he was still arguing with Luffy and wasn't with everyone, so it's normal that he didn't know about this.

Then, Usopp turned to Brook and said, "Brook, use your ability to go outside and check the situation."

"Can."

Understanding what Usopp meant, Brook went to the Great Gate and used his ability to release his soul.

After observing outside for a while, Brook returned and said, "That was terrifying!"

"How so?"

"There's no sign of life outside anymore," Brook said. "It's like a world of death!"

"If we hadn't blocked the entrance, we would be dead!"

"Just thinking about it makes me shudder..."

"Yohohohoho~"

"You're even more terrifying, aren't you!"

Seeing Brook release his soul, the Marines were momentarily speechless.

This guy doesn't even look like a living person, you bastard!

"Hala hala hala~"

"You guys are really messing around!"

"Perona!"

Seeing Perona floating down from mid-air, Nami lit up with joy, and she exclaimed, "I'm so glad you're alright!"

"Not only am I alright, but Luffy and the others are alright too."

Perona, who had come to Nami's side, pointed to a high place and said, "Look, they're over there."

Following Perona's finger, they indeed spotted Luffy and his crew.

Hey everyone!

Luffy grinned, looking at the crowd below, and said, "Looks like you're all alright."

"It's good that you're alright."

Sanji a sigh of relief, then turned to Law, who was standing next to Luffy, and said, "Hey, Law, hurry up and switch our bodies back!"

He'd had enough of this monstrous Steel Body!

Now, he's going to use his own body!

"Hey, hey, hey, do you have some complaints about my Steel Body?" Franky snorted and said, "My body is super awesome!"

As he spoke, Franky even used Sanji's body to strike his signature pose.

Sanji:!!!

"Don't use my body to do that kind of thing, you bastard!" Sanji roared, opening his shark-like mouth.

That's so embarrassing!

He was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a crack in the ground with his toes and crawl into it.

Luo, who was watching the interaction between the two, had his eyelids twitching.

However, he didn't say anything, but simply raised his hand and switched their souls back together.

"Very good!"

Upon regaining his body, Sanji immediately leaped from the sky using Geppo, excitedly exclaiming, "It feels so good to have my own body!"

He was truly fed up with being a pervert!

"Geppo?"

Law, who had been watching Sanji's actions, immediately showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, clearly not expecting that the other party could master the Navy's unique Body Technique.

"This is the ability Sanji gained after two years of training," Luffy said with a smile.

"I see," Luo nodded.

It seems a lot has happened during the two years the Straw Hat Pirates have been gone.

"Hey, Tra-man!"

Franky looked up at Law and said, "Can you use your ability to send me out?"

"What are you going to do?" Luo asked.

"Of course we should go check on the pirate ship," Franky said without hesitation. "If we don't move the pirate ship, it might get contaminated by the Poisonous Gas."

Although it could be cleaned up gradually over time, that would be too much trouble.

Therefore, it would be better to sail the pirate ship to another location now.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Luo asked, frowning.

It's all Poisonous Gas outside now; going out would almost certainly mean certain death.

He certainly didn't want the other party's choice to affect their alliance.

"Yeah, Franky," Usopp chimed in, "There's Poisonous Gas outside, we can't get out."

Even if Franky has Steel Body, he still needs to breathe, right?

Franky hesitated upon hearing this; it was indeed a problem.

But... if they do nothing, won't their pirate ship run into trouble?

"Leave it to me," Merry said.

"What's the meaning?"

Usopp looked at Merry with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding what she meant.

Franky, as if struck by a sudden thought, exclaimed, "Are you planning to come out with me?"

If Merry went out with him, they might actually be able to solve the Poisonous Gas problem.

After all... she can use her ability to blow away the Poisonous Gas!

Not only that, she can also use her abilities to lift two people into the air!

In this way, they would no longer need to fear the Poisonous Gas.

Xi Yan had also thought of this, so he asked, "Are you planning to go to the pirate ship with Franky?"

"No, that's not true."

Merry shook her head and said, "There's so much space here, why would we want to go out?"

Why go out and look for the pirate ship when you could have used Summoning Technique to bring it in?

Xi Yan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then, as if realizing something, his eyes lit up and he said, "You're planning to...?"

"Yes," Merry said with a smile, "I plan to bring the boat over."

If you can summon a pirate ship, why go out?

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan revealed an expression of "I knew it." With the Summoning Technique, this little girl indeed didn't need to go out.

Tea Beard was taken aback. What did he mean by bringing the pirate ship over?

How do I get it over here?

The others looked at Merry with puzzled expressions, clearly not understanding what she meant.

Merry didn't waste any words with them. Instead, she flew to a large open space not far away and said, "No one should come near here!"

"Merry, what are you planning to do?" Usopp asked, puzzled.

"Of course, we used Summoning Technique to summon the pirate ship!"

"Summoning Technique?"

Usopp paused for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "Is that the thing that can summon pirate ships?!"

"That's right!" Merry nodded without hesitation.

Usopp was immediately relieved, and then walked away with a smile.

Although I haven't seen Merry use her Summoning Technique, since Xi Yan said that move could summon the pirate ship, then there's no problem.

So he doesn't need to worry too much.

The Navy, meanwhile, stared at Merry with utter confusion. What was she talking about?

Luo was the same, but unlike the Navy, he had some ideas.

"Could it be that this little girl inherited the Ninjutsu of the Blood-Eyed Ninja?" Luo asked incredulously.

If that's the case, then he needs to reassess the Straw Hat Pirates ' strength.

After all... that man's Ninjutsu is truly amazing!

"No, that's not it," Luffy said casually. "Merry just learned some special Ninjutsu from Xi Yan."

As for what kind of Ninjutsu was, he didn't know. In any case, Xi Yan hadn't explained it to him in detail, so he didn't know either.

"Some special Ninjutsu...?"

Law first glanced at Luffy, then turned his gaze to Merry, intending to see what the little girl was up to.

He was very curious about how much the other person had learned from the Blood-Eyed Ninja.

And... is it even possible for them to learn this kind of thing?

He was very curious.

The next moment...

"Summoning Technique!"

"Bang!"

A puff of white smoke drifted by, and then a gigantic pirate ship appeared!

That ship was none other than the Straw Hat Pirates ' Thousand Sunny!!

"A... a pirate ship?!"

The navy personnel were all shocked to see the pirate ship that had suddenly appeared.

What just happened?

Why did a pirate ship suddenly appear here?

"Was it that little girl Merry, who did it?" The Vice Captain looked at Merry, who was floating above the Thousand Sunny, in surprise and said, "She can actually summon pirate ships?"

What kind of ability is this?

"Yes, I did it."

As Merry floated down from the Thousand Sunny, a smile played on her lips. "I'm awesome, aren't I?"

"How did you do that?" the Vice Captain asked incredulously.

"Of course, we'll use Summoning Technique! I already said that!"

Merry proudly raised her head, looking at the navy with an expression that said, "I'm awesome!" Her eyes were full of pride.

This was Ninjutsu that Xi Yan taught her, and she learned it very well!

Seeing this, Xi Yan smiled slightly.

"This little guy..."
