Xi Yan's Reflections, So This Is Luffy~

"Wrong!"

Xi Yan suddenly realized that after what had happened, the Donquixote Family couldn't possibly be unaware that Luffy was here.

After all, there are quite a few Donquixote Family staff members here!

Thinking about this, Xi Yan felt a headache coming on.

'It seems that sneaking in secretly is unlikely,' Xi Yan thought helplessly.

Fine, let's see if we can find the location of the Diamond Fruit before they completely break off relations.

I wonder if the clone got any useful information.

Just then, Xi Yan received information about the Shadow Clone, which made him subconsciously frown.

According to intelligence, the area where the contestants are located has been isolated.

There is no place here that appears to be a gathering place for officials.

'So, the officials aren't here?' Xi Yan murmured to himself.

Is it that they won't come here before the finals, or is it hidden in some special area of Fighting Arena?

But regardless of which type it is, finding the Diamond Fruit is now highly unlikely.

After all, his clones hadn't found any trace of the Diamond Fruit either.

Having realized this, Xi Yan rubbed his temples in exasperation.

"Alright, let's continue with the competition according to the plan," Xi Yan said, glancing at the arena.

If the other party takes the Devil Fruit, that's fine. But if they don't... then he'll have no choice but to take those executives who came to participate in the competition to Doflamingo.

After figuring this out, Xi Yan completely relaxed.

Then, he turned to look at Luffy, who was still confronting Chinjao, and said, "Need any help, Lucy?"

"No need," Luffy said without turning his head.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he still didn't want Xi Yan to be exposed as well.

Xi Yan nodded, understanding Luffy's meaning.

Cavendish glanced at Xi Yan again upon hearing this, but seeing that the other party didn't seem like the Supernovas he was familiar with, he lost interest.

Then, he looked coldly at Luffy and said, "Today, I'm going to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Green Chinjao launched an attack on the two of them.

"Boom!"

Cavendish, having dodged the opponent's massive punch, was instantly enraged.

"You're so annoying!" Cavendish snapped. "Chief Chinjao, he's my prey, don't get in my way!"

Unfortunately, at this moment, Chinjao wouldn't listen to anything I said.

At that moment, all he wanted to do was smash this Straw Hat to death!

After letting out a cold snort, Chinjao's body leaped into the air and swiftly crashed into the two of them.

"Head Strike - Buto!"

"Hateful..."

Seeing that the other party was so stubborn, Cavendish stopped wasting words and decisively thrust his sword at them.

"Beautiful Sword - Bluebird!"

"Clang!"

"Varied...?!"

The surrounding players were all stunned by the sight of the two locked in a stalemate.

"How did Cavendish manage to block Chinjao's body with such a small sword?" one contestant exclaimed in shock.

That was a terrifyingly powerful being several meters tall!

"What's even more surprising than that is the head of the Chinjao!" another person exclaimed in surprise. "That's one of the most Famous Sword in the world!"

"His head wasn't pierced?"

What kind of head is this?

"He blocked a swordsman's attack without even using his Haki..." Xi Yan looked at Chinjao's head with some surprise and said, "Just how hard is this guy's head?"

Has it surpassed the hardness of steel?

That's interesting.

"It couldn't even pierce my Durandal." Cavendish in astonishment at Chinjao's head, saying, "This guy..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chinjao in mid-air threw a punch, forcing Cavendish to abandon his attack and retreat.

Meanwhile, Luffy, due to Chinjao's attack, also retreated quickly along with Cavendish.

"That's really Lihai."

Cavendish stared at Chinjao and said, "It seems we can't take him down without going all out."

"Take me down?"

"That brat is incredibly arrogant!"

Do you really think this old monster who's lived for decades is a pushover?

After letting out a cold laugh, Chinjao continued his attack on the two.

"Damn it, are you ever going to stop?!" Luffy roared.

After saying that, his body quickly disappeared from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already on Chinjao's face.

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me!"

As they were talking, Luffy's heavy fist slammed into Chinjao's head.

"Bump!"

With a single blow, it was driven directly into the floor.

"Boom!!"

"Huh?!!"

Seeing Luffy knock Chinjao to the Luffy with a single blow, the surrounding contestants were so shocked that their eyes bulged out.

"That guy sent the Chinjao flying!"

"Just who is that bearded, short guy?"

Are these the contestants participating in this competition?

That's really scary!

Just then, the Chinjao that had been lying on the ground slowly got up, without even breaking a scratch.

"Huh?!"

"Completely unharmed!"

Seeing the unharmed Chinjao, the people around were once again shocked.

Is this old man really that scary?

"Is that legend true?"

"What legend?"

"It's a legend from decades ago!" someone exclaimed excitedly. "Legend has it that this guy's head could split the Ice Continent in two!"

"The Ice Continent?"

Those who understood what the Ice Continent was all showed expressions of horror.

That thing can be smashed open with your head?

You must be kidding!

"Another legendary figure?"

Xi Yan curiously examined Chinjao's head and said, "Speaking of which, why does this guy's head look a little unnatural?"

Is it just my imagination?

"It has absolutely no effect?" Luffy frowned as he looked at Chinjao and said, "It's really tough."

He used a lot of force in that move just now, but his opponent was completely unharmed... No wonder he's Grandpa's opponent.

"Hehe, you two have a good foundation," Chinjao said coldly, looking at Luffy and Cavendish. "But... it's not enough!"

Facing a powerhouse like him, having a decent foundation is simply not enough!

"Whether it's enough or not isn't up to you to decide."

Cavendish snorted first, then turned to Luffy and continued, "You're Straw Hat himself, aren't you?"

"No, I..."

"It's no use denying it," Cavendish snorted, "With such formidable strength, you are definitely Straw Hat himself."

Luffy:...

Why do these guys all love to talk to themselves like this?

After frowning in annoyance, Luffy said, "Can't you just ignore me?"

"Hmph, that won't do," Cavendish shook his head.

He dreamed of killing all those guys who had stolen his thunder, so how could he possibly give up?

Then, as if struck by a Cavendish grinned and said, "Speaking of which... you not only love stealing the spotlight, but you're also the Grandson of the Evil Ghost."

"How hateful!"

"What you're saying has nothing to do with me?!" Luffy clenched his fist and said, "I... I'm Lucy!"

This time, Cavendish snorted and said nothing more.

Lucy?

Do you still think he's a fool now?

What a hateful bastard.

"Hey kid over there," Chinjao said coldly, looking at Cavendish, "If you get in my way again, don't blame me for sending you to your grave!"

"Roar!"

Finally, Chinjao roared, and his aura became incredibly terrifying.

Cavendish's expression immediately changed upon seeing this.

Although we don't know the opponent's actual strength, judging from their aura, they are definitely not weak.

Just then, Abu and Lao Cai ran over from a distance, looking extremely flustered.

"Hey, wait a minute, Grandpa!" Lao Cai said, "That's enough!"

"That's right, Grandpa," Abu added, "Losing your temper here will disqualify you from the competition!"

After saying that, the two rushed over and grabbed the Chinjao.

"Don't get in my way, my lovely grandchildren!"

Looking at his two grandsons who were being held captive, Chinjao said, "I'm going to kill this Evil Grandson!"

"No."

"No matter what, we can't lose our temper here," Lao Cai said.

One of their goals this time is the Diamond Fruit, which is crucial to whether they can reopen the Ice Continent!

Therefore... we absolutely cannot afford to lose our qualification for the competition prematurely!

"I finally found my enemy Garp's bloodline, how could I give up so easily?" Chinjao struggled to say.

"Don't forget why we're here, Grandpa!" Abu said. "So you must stay calm."

Unfortunately, such words have no effect on Chinjao these days.

"Hey, you lot!"

A staff member running over from a distance shouted angrily, "What on earth are you doing?"

"Private fights outside of competitions are not allowed. Do you all want to be expelled?"

"Expelled?"

Cavendish glanced at the armed staff and sneered, "I don't care about showing up; I only care about killing Straw Hat!"

"Now, I will do it myself..."

He froze before he could finish speaking, because Luffy, who had been standing next to him, was gone.

Cavendish:???

Where are they?

"Hello?"

"Where did that guy go?!" Cavendish roared.

He only turned his head for a moment, how could he have disappeared?

"Damn it, I will definitely find you!"

After letting out an angry roar, Cavendish quickly ran off into the distance, clearly intending to find Luffy and take him down.

After watching Cavendish leave, Lao Cai said, "Grandpa, that kid with the fake mustache is in Group C just like us. If you want to kill him, do it on the field."

"Group C, huh?"

After Luffy completely disappeared from sight, Chinjao's emotions gradually stabilized, and he coldly said, "Fine, I understand."

"I'll take him out in Group C."

That damned, Evil Grandson must be executed by his own hand!

After letting out a cold snort, Chinjao left with his two grandsons.

"Finally they're gone..." Luffy, hiding outside the window, breathed a huge sigh of relief, then said with a hint of helplessness, "I promised Franky and Merry not to reveal my identity, but this still happened. What bad luck..."

By now, quite a few people probably know who he is. He's really unlucky.

Fortunately, Doflamingo's people didn't know his identity, otherwise they might not have been able to participate in this tournament.

Thinking of this, Luffy sighed somewhat helplessly.

"You're pretty clever, kid," Xi Yan said with a chuckle as he sat down by the window. "You actually knew to hide here."

"We were forced into this situation, weren't we?" Luffy said with a hint of helplessness.

If those two hadn't been so outrageous, he wouldn't have wanted to hide in this spot.

This time, Xi Yan simply nodded and said nothing more.

Then, Xi Yan glanced behind him and, finding no one paying attention, said softly, "Luffy, after this incident, the Donquixote Family might discover us, so let's prepare for an early battle."

"I see..." Luffy frowned and said, "I understand."

Damn it, what bad luck!

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

As if remembering something, Xi Yan said, "I spoke with Law not long ago. He has a grudge against Doflamingo, which is probably why he chose to cooperate with us."

At this point, Xi Yan paused slightly before continuing, "In a sense, he might also be trying to use us to bring down Doflamingo."

Based on the analysis of the previous clone, Law most likely intended to kill Doflamingo.

This is probably the main reason for forming an alliance with them.

"So he has a grudge against Doflamingo," Luffy Satori.

"Aren't you angry?"

Xi Yan glanced at Luffy with some curiosity. Didn't this guy think Law had lied to him?

Why are you angry?

Luffy looked at Xi Yan with some confusion and said, "Isn't everything we need to do right now to deal with Kaido?"

"Besides... we're allies with Tra-man!"

"In this situation, helping him deal with Doflamingo shouldn't be a problem, right?"

In Luffy's view, alliances are like friendships, so he doesn't mind helping Tra-man fight Doflamingo.

After all... his friends' business is his business!

Xi Yan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Your reaction was pretty much what I expected."

He had considered how Luffy would react after hearing those words, and his initial thought was that Luffy probably wouldn't be angry.

Now it seems that this was indeed the case.

For a moment, Xi Yan was filled with emotion.

This is Luffy!

When someone you consider a friend uses your help, you won't get angry at all.

Just like... back in Alabasta.

"Looks like you know me pretty well~" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.

It feels so good to be understood by my friends.

Xi Yan simply smiled and said nothing more.

In a sense, he really understood this idiot.

Then, Xi Yan thought to himself, "Actually, from the moment we decided to capture Caesar, we were already mortal enemies with Doflamingo."

So there's no point in worrying about it now; just focus on continuing with the plan.

After smiling, Xi Yan said, "In short... the possibility of us going to war with Doflamingo this time is still very high, so we need to be mentally prepared."

He didn't think the Flamingo would let them go.

"If we really fight, I'll beat him to a pulp!"

"Good."
