Xi Yan's Explanation, Law Left Stunned

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Nami flew towards the distant tunnel without hesitation, saying, "Children, come this way, we're getting ready to leave!"

After saying that, Nami began to use the power of her Devil Fruit to create clouds.

To ensure everyone could be moved out, she had to create a cloud large enough!

After all... a lot of people left this place this time!

"Go on, children," Chopper said.

Upon hearing Chopper's words Mocha and the others hesitated for a moment before heading towards Nami's direction.

"Speaking of which..."

Xi Yan, stroking his chin, looked up at the unruly kids walking past him and asked, "How did you manage to calm them down?"

Wasn't it said that these children would go berserk after regaining consciousness due to the poison?

But it doesn't seem that way now.

"Because I gave them a sedative," Chopper said. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to calm them down."

The poison was so potent that it was impossible to calm them down without sedatives.

This is also why he had Perona cooperate with him in giving these little guys sedatives.

"I see, a tranquilizer, huh?" Xi Yan said with a look of Satori realization, "That is indeed a good method."

In a sense, this is indeed the optimal solution.

"But is this really okay?" Nami glanced back at Law and said, "The outside must be filled with Poisonous Gas right now. Wouldn't it be very dangerous to go out rashly?"

That's terrifying, deadly Poisonous Gas!

It will kill you once it gets stuck!

"But it's still much better than being crushed here," Luo said in a deep voice.

The research institute has been destroyed because of his attack, and its collapse is only a matter of time, so we must leave!

Nami pursed her lips upon hearing this. What kind of answer was that?

"It's alright, Nami," Xi Yan said. "Don't forget what Merry's ability is."

Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes immediately lit up.

Yes, Merry's power is the wind!

In this way, even if there is terrible Poisonous Gas outside, they can use Merry's abilities to fight their way out to safety!

With that thought in mind, Nami abandoned any further thoughts and turned to focus intently on activating her ability.

Luo glanced at Xi Yan with some curiosity and said, "You mean the ability that little girl activated when she entered the research Great Gate, right?"

Thinking about it carefully, that little girl did indeed use her wind ability when she entered the Great Gate.

"Yes," Xi Yan nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Luo was immediately rendered speechless.

"Another Logia..."

I never imagined that little girl was not only a legendary Ship Spirit, but also a user of the Logia Wind-Wind Fruit!

That's somewhat frightening.

"No," Xi Yan said.

"No?"

Luo paused for a moment, "Not the Wind-Wind Fruit?"

What other Devil Fruit allow the user to control the wind?

Thinking of this, Luo cast a questioning glance at Xi Yan.

"Have you forgotten what she is?" Xi Yan said.

Robin should have already explained this to Law before.

Luo fell silent upon hearing Xi Yan's words.

What is it?

If I remember correctly, Leader Nico did say before that Merry was Ship Spirit.

So that means... the ability to control the wind is an innate ability of the Ship Spirit?

Upon realizing this, a look of surprise immediately appeared in Luo's eyes.

This is even more terrifying than he imagined.

Then, Law felt a little envious of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The Straw Hat Pirates have such a great crew!

It's one thing to have so many strong people around, but there are also so many people with special abilities.

Most importantly, there's also a Ship Spirit that can control the wind!

So... who can capture the Straw Hat Pirates on the high seas?

Xi Yan, who had taken in Luo's reaction, had a smile on his face.

In a way, the Straw Hat Pirates ' situation is indeed enviable.

Just then, a commotion arose at the Great Gate.

"Hey, Miss Going Merry, slow down!"

"Slow down!"

"We can't slow down." Merry glanced back and said, "If we're too slow, the Poisonous Gas behind us will catch up."

A large amount of Poisonous Gas has somehow entered B Block, so we must escape as soon as possible!

"But I... I ate so much wind!" a navy officer said with difficulty.

He felt a chill in his stomach.

"Gurgle..."

"If you know you're going to eat so much wind, then shut up!" Sanji roared. "All of you, shut your mouths!"

"But Black Leg Big Brother, we..."

"Shut up!"

"Profound..."

The navy personnel, who had been yelled at, immediately fell silent.

After seeing that the other person had shut their mouth, Sanji stopped looking at them.

Soon, under Merry's control, everyone rushed out of the passage and entered the relatively safe lobby of R Building!

"Profound!!!"

"They're out!!"

Upon seeing the navy members in the lobby of R Building, they immediately cheered, their expressions filled with excitement.

They finally escaped the pursuit of the Poisonous Gas!

"Thank you, Miss Going Merry!"

You're simply an angel!

"Fine."

"Anyway, it's not too strenuous for me to carry you all," Merry said.

Even though that's what they said, the little guy blushed slightly with embarrassment.

Upon seeing this, the sailors shouted even louder.

Miss Going Merry is so adorable!!!

"Very good."

Perona came to Merry's side, hugged the little one tightly, and said, "You've finally made it safely."

She had been worried about it for a long time.

"Looking for someone on the way took a little longer," Merry said.

On their way, they searched for the children on every floor, but to no avail.

Ultimately, due to the Poisonous Gas, they were forced to move towards R Building.

Then, Merry asked, "How are the children?"

"Did you find it?"

"Don't worry, they're all fine," Nicole Robin said.

"It's good that you're alright." Merry breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been worried about the children's safety, wondering if her failure to find someone might have put them in danger.

It's so good that everything is alright now.

"You little rascal!"

Perona ruffled the little guy's hair and said, "You're not even as old as them, so why do you like calling them kids?"

"I'm definitely different!" Merry grinned at Perona and said, "I'm a big kid now!"

Perona sighed in exasperation. "What's so big about it?"

This is clearly just a little kid who looks only a few years old.

However, since Merry had already said that, she couldn't say anything more.

Sanji, watching the interaction between the two, smiled, then glanced at Zoro, who was staring at Merry, and said, "It's a miracle you didn't get lost."

Zoro:???

"Who would get lost, you idiot!" Zoro roared.

What does this guy mean? Does he think he has no sense of direction?

Xi Yan:...

Seeing the two people locked in a fierce confrontation, Xi Yan was completely silenced.

Sanji's method of provoking Zoro is as simple as ever.

"Actually, Zoro got lost before," Nami said. "If Perona hadn't found him with her Negative Ghost, he would have been killed by the Poisonous Gas."

The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

Zoro:...

Sanji:!!!

Zoro's face turned green upon hearing Nami's words, while Sanji made an exaggerated expression and laughed loudly, saying, "Hahahaha, I knew that Green Algae Head guy would get lost!"

Just as he predicted~

"You bastard, do you want to fight, Color Cook!"

"Who's the Color Cook, you Green Algae Head!"

"Ping ping pong pong~"

And so, the two of them started fighting again in front of everyone.

Luo:???

Luo stared at the scene with a bewildered expression, hardly believing his eyes.

Wait, what are the Straw Hat Crew doing?

Internal strife?

No, they're running for their lives, you bastards!

"Hey, Straw Hat Leader!" Law glanced at Luffy and said, "Aren't you going to stop him?"

Are we just going to stand by and watch these two fight?

"Don't worry about it," Luffy laughed. "They're just playing around."

Luo:...

What does it mean to say that these two people are playing?

You're even using that Haki, you bastard!!!

"You'll get used to it," Xi Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Luo was immediately rendered speechless.

So, what exactly is going on with the Straw Hat Pirates?

"By the way, where are Brook and Samurai?" Luffy glanced at Merry and asked, "Didn't you see them?"

"No."

Merry shook her head and said, "I didn't see them when I brought them here."

Perhaps because there were many passageways here, she didn't see the two people.

"Didn't you see it?"

Luffy paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in confusion, "Where are they?"

Could it be that she's with Usopp?

Thinking of this, Luffy was about to look up and ask Usopp, but before he could speak, the Great Gate behind him sounded an alarm indicating it was about to close.

"Huh?"

"Is this Great Gate going to close?" Luffy asked.

"It seems so..."

After Xi Yan finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then looked up at the Den Den Mushi high above and called out, "Hey, Usopp, Brook and Kin'emon with you?"

Usopp paused for a moment upon hearing Xi Yan's words, then shook his head and replied, "No, those two aren't with me."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed.

Not here?

Doesn't that mean Brook is still in that Poisonous Gas- filled area?

Thinking this, Merry broke free from Perona's embrace and said, "I'm going to find Brook!"

She absolutely would not allow her companion to die here!

After saying that, Merry rushed toward the Great Gate.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Perona exclaimed, "You don't even know where they are? How are we supposed to look for them?"

What if I can't find the person and can't get back myself?

"What should we do then?" Merry asked anxiously.

"I'll go with you," Perona said. "My ability allows me to pass through walls, so..."

Perona was interrupted by Usopp's voice from the air before she could finish speaking.

"You two calm down," Usopp said. "I can already see Brook."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

"Where is he?!" Perona asked quickly.

"It's in that tunnel right behind you," Usopp said, his eyes glued to the monitor. "Brook is carrying a white sculpture and charging this way right now."

Perona:???

A white sculpture?

What is that thing?

No, what exactly is Usopp saying?

Merry said, "They're in this tunnel, right? I'll go find them right now!"

After saying that, Merry rushed toward the Great Gate without hesitation.

This time, no one stopped Merry; after all, with her speed, she could easily fly back with everyone in time.

"What is the white sculpture that Usopp mentioned?" Franky asked, puzzled.

Why did Brook bring back a white sculpture?

Upon hearing Franky's words, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then pointed to the white humanoid sculpture that Caesar had killed not far away and said, "Is that the thing?"

That's the person Caesar killed with Poisonous Gas.

"This thing..."

Following Xi Yan's finger, the crowd fell silent for a moment, realizing what Brook was holding.

If I'm not mistaken, that white sculpture is Kin'emon covered in Poisonous Gas.

Thinking of this, everyone sighed.

Who would have thought that the man searching for his son would ultimately die from Caesar's Poisonous Gas?

Zoro's expression was also somewhat complicated. He had originally planned to spar with Kin'emon after this matter was over, but now his opponent was dead.

"I wonder if his son is among these people." Sanji, with a similarly complicated expression, turned to look at the children in the distance.

If Kin'emon's son is here, then the other side's sacrifice wasn't in vain.

After all... the other party's son was saved!

I just don't know if that child will survive after losing his father...

'But with these Marines around, there shouldn't be any problems, right?' Sanji thought to himself.

Although these sailors looked rather rude, they seemed like decent people, so entrusting the children to them... didn't seem like a problem.

With that thought in mind, Sanji nodded.

Just then, Nami shouted from behind them, "Hey, everyone!"

"Come on over here, everyone!"

"My cloud is ready."

Now all that's left is to get everyone out of here!

"So big?!"

Franky stared at Nami in astonishment, never expecting her to create such a massive cloud this time!

This is almost the size of a ship!

"If we don't make it bigger, how can we take everyone with us?" Nami laughed.

"That's true," Franky said with a smile.

If the cloud isn't big enough, it really won't be able to carry these people away from here.

"Everyone, get on the cloud formation right now!" Sanji shouted. "We need to get out of here!"

"Profound!!"
