Perona's Displeasure, Served by Negative Ghosts

"This is the first time I've heard of an eye-type Devil Fruit ability," Xi Yan asked curiously. "Is this kind of ability very Lihai?"

He was genuinely curious about this ability.

After all, this kind of Devil Fruit ability that doesn't rely on bloodline inheritance is truly amazing.

"That's amazing!"

Sanji, recalling what Violet had shown him, said, "This Devil Fruit ability not only allows me to see a huge area, but it can also precisely observe a street... even things inside a room!"

At this point, Sanji seemed to have thought of something, and a change appeared on his face.

"You wouldn't be planning to use this ability to...?"

Seeing Sanji's lecherous Sanji, Perona clearly sensed something, and her expression gradually turned disdainful.

Then, without hesitation, the Little Ghost pierced through Sanji's body.

"Bump!"

"I... I'm such a scumbag..."

"Snort."

Looking at the dejected man sprawled on the ground, Perona gave a disdainful snort, clearly very unhappy with Sanji's behavior.

Xi Yan:...

So, what are these two guys up to?

After shaking his head speechlessly, Xi Yan said, "Hey you two, let's not fool around when we're talking serious stuff."

Do you think I wanted this?

Perona said, "If it weren't for what this guy said, I wouldn't bother with him at all."

Analyzing intelligence is fine, but what's with the sudden lecherous look on your face?

Could it be that he's planning to use this Devil Fruit ability to do something bad while the three of them are taking a bath?

Thinking of this, Perona's eyes turned fierce again.

But considering what she had just said, Perona calmed down again.

Since we've already learned our lesson, there's no need to hold a grudge.

Hearing Perona's words, Xi Yan felt even more helpless.

But that's just Sanji's personality; what else could he say?

Then, Xi Yan said, "Perona, tell me about the situation on your side. Did Zoro find the sword?"

Seeing that Xi Yan was getting down to business, Perona composed herself and said, "Yes, we found it."

After speaking, Perona paused for a moment, while glancing at the little guy lying on Zoro.

Then, continuing to manipulate the Little Ghost, he said, "You might not believe it, but Zoro and I encountered Tontatta."

Xi Yan:???

Sanji:???

Xi Yan and Sanji, who was lying on the ground, looked at the Little Ghost with puzzled expressions. What did he mean by seeing Tontatta?

What is this guy saying?

"Perona, what are you talking about?" Sanji, who had gotten up from the ground, straightened his clothes and said, "What Tontatta?"

Why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?

"They're the Tontatta," Perona explained. "Do you remember the Fairies we met at the restaurant?"

"Of course I remember," Xi Yan said. "Zoro's Swords was stolen by Fairies, wasn't it?"

After saying that, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then showed an incredulous expression and said, "Don't tell me the Fairies who stole the knife was Tontatta."

If you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.

"That's right, the Tontatta stole the knife!" Perona said. "But according to them, it wasn't theft, but a gift from the people of Dressrosa."

At this point, Perona's expression turned somewhat strange.

How did this strange perception develop?

"A gift for them?" Sanji retorted, "Isn't that stealing?"

People only offer to give things away because they have no other choice; otherwise, who would willingly give up their possessions?

You have to understand that those things are things that ordinary people might work hard for a very long time to achieve.

"You're right, it is theft," Perona said, "But that's not how they perceive it."

She didn't know how these guys developed their mindset, but that was the reality.

"It seems these Tontatta have a strange past too."

Xi Yan first sighed, then continued, "So, you and Zoro caught that Tontatta who stole the Black Blade Shusui?"

"Yes, we caught them," Perona said. "That's why we learned that this country has Tontatta."

"What do the Tontatta look like?" Sanji asked curiously.

"It doesn't look as big as my palm."

After carefully examining Vika's Perona, she said, "But I can't say exactly how many."

"How does it compare to Lili, whom we met before?"

"Larger than her smallest form, smaller than her second form."

Lili's smallest form is only five millimeters long, while her second form is thirty centimeters long, so what she said is not wrong.

After listening to Perona's explanation, the two became even more curious. What exactly did it look like?

Seeing the curious looks on their faces, Perona explained, "You'll see when you see it; I can't describe it to you."

Such a fantastical creature cannot be explained simply by words; it's best to let the two of them see it for themselves.

"Let's talk about it later," Sanji said.

Xi Yan nodded; he shared the same sentiment.

Then, Xi Yan asked, "So where are you two now?"

Now that we've got the knife, there's no need to wander around anymore; it's better to rejoin our companions as soon as possible.

"We're on our way to the Flower Field."

Perona looked ahead and said, "We're almost there."

Xi Yan:???

Xi Yan stared at Perona with a face full of questions. What did she just say?

Flower Field?

"No way, is there a place like this in Fairy Tale?" Xi Yan complained.

Not only are there Fairy Tale- like places, but also a race of Tontatta straight out of a fantasy story...

Is Dressrosa some kind of extraordinary country?

For a moment, Xi Yan didn't know what to say.

Sanji, on the other hand, wore an expression that said, "I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that. Why is there such a Fairy Tale- like place here?"

"Actually, I'm quite curious too."

Perona said, "I've never been inside either, so I don't know what's inside."

But if it really is a place only found in Fairy Tale, then she's actually quite looking forward to it.

After all... she's just a little girl!

"If I have the chance, I'll go take a look," Xi Yan said, "And also see the Tontatta."

He was genuinely curious about these two mysterious entities.

Perona simply nodded in response and said nothing more.

"Oh, right," Sanji said, as if remembering something, "Franky and Merry are also heading towards the Flower Field. Did you run into them?"

Although he didn't know how far the two were from the Flower Field, Dressrosa didn't seem as big as he had imagined, so Sanji figured the chances of them meeting were still pretty high.

No.

The Little Ghost shook his head and said, "We haven't seen Franky along the way."

Although they missed a few intersections along the way because of Zoro, their progress wasn't as slow as expected, so Perona figured Franky was probably going in a different direction.

In this situation, it's perfectly normal not to encounter it.

"Didn't you run into him...?"

Sanji frowned. Had something gone wrong with Franky and the others?

No... With Franky and Merry's strength, it's impossible for them to encounter an enemy without making a sound.

Especially with Merry, if that little girl were to unleash her full power, the commotion would be quite significant, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Xi Yan then asked directly, "Did you have Zoro lead the way?"

Sanji:...

Absolutely!

If Zoro is leading the way, it would be perfectly reasonable for the two sides to avoid each other!

"No, not at all," Perona shook her head and said, "But we did miss a few intersections because of this guy."

At this point, Perona's face showed displeasure.

Then, she reached out and pinched Zoro's ear.

Zoro:???

What are you doing?

Zoro looked at Perona with displeasure. Why did she suddenly pinch him?

Is this woman mentally ill?

"Hmph, who told you to take the wrong turn?" Perona said unhappily.

Zoro:...

That's something that can't be refuted.

Thinking this, Zoro turned his head away, no longer looking at Perona, clearly not intending to be stubborn anymore.

after all...

Just now, when I was being stubborn, I got taught a lesson by the Negative Ghost.

Perona showed a satisfied expression upon seeing this, and at the same time withdrew her hand.

Sanji then scoffed, "That certainly sounds like something that guy with the Green Algae Head would do."

"Um?"

Zoro, who was running, suddenly looked puzzled. What was wrong with him?

"Then you'd better keep a close eye on this guy," Xi Yan said, rubbing his temples. "Don't let him wander off to the wrong place again."

If they ended up running right into the enemy's headquarters, that would be quite a sight.

Don't say it's impossible; Zoro has done things like that before!

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems this time," Perona said.

If Zoro doesn't listen to advice and run away, I'll use Negative Ghost to deal with him again.

As if recalling some amusing scene, a mischievous smile appeared on the face of the Ghost Princess.

Zoro:!!!

What's causing this sudden bad feeling?

Could there be an enemy?

Instinctively, Zoro glanced around, but found no trace of the enemy, which puzzled him. What was going on?

"What's wrong?" Vika asked curiously.

"Nothing."

Zoro said, "It's just a strange feeling that suddenly came over me."

Since no enemy has been detected, there's no need to worry about it.

Vika nodded upon hearing this, then pointed ahead and said, "This time, go to the left."

"Left."

At that moment, Perona pointed to the left with her left hand, signaling Zoro not to run in the wrong direction.

Although Zoro was somewhat annoyed by Perona's treating him like he had no sense of direction, he still obediently ran over.

Perona nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, and then continued to control the Little Ghost to talk to the two of them.

"Looks like Zoro's been through a lot," Xi Yan teased.

Perona chuckled upon hearing this, but didn't explain anything. However, her expression made Sanji and Xi Yan realize one thing: what Xi Yan had just said was indeed true.

Zoro certainly suffered a lot with Perona.

but...

Sanji felt so envious; he also wanted to interact with beautiful women!

Oh, Miss Violet, I miss you so much!

"Oh, right."

Perona seemed to remember something and said, "Nami's there..."

"There's no need to talk about this," Xi Yan interrupted. "Sanji already told me about it."

"You already said that?"

Perona paused for a moment, then, as if remembering something, gave a helpless look.

Yes, given Sanji's personality, he would definitely contact Nami first, so it's normal that Xi Yan knows about this.

Now that Xi Yan knows, she won't elaborate further on the matter.

"Yes, I already said that," Sanji said. "Nami and the others are heading towards the Green Bit right now, and that's where I'm going too."

As he spoke, Sanji glanced up in the direction of the Green Bit, then continued running, signaling Perona's Negative Ghost to follow him and continue communicating.

Seeing this, Perona said nothing and manipulated the Negative Ghost to quickly follow.

"Green Bit's bit..."

The Little Ghost turned and glanced in the direction of Green Bit, saying, "Looks like Robin and the others are in trouble."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to call Nami and the others.

"It shouldn't be a major problem, otherwise Robin would have called me already," Xi Yan said.

This was something he had agreed upon with Robin beforehand.

If she encounters any unavoidable circumstances, she will contact him via Den Den Mushi), and he will rush there as quickly as possible.

"That's good." Perona breathed a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely worried about Robin's situation, but since Xi Yan said so, it meant that nothing serious had happened.

Then, Perona looked at Sanji and continued, "Then why did you go to the Green Bit?"

"To prevent Doflamingo from launching a surprise attack on our Thousand Sunny," Sanji explained.

Although Xi Yan said there shouldn't be too much trouble over there, no one knows if Doflamingo might suddenly attack their pirate ship.

So... it would be better to go over there and check on the situation.

As for the battlefield in Dressrosa?

With so many high-level fighters already in their Straw Hat Pirates, his presence or absence doesn't really make much difference.

So it's not a problem for him to go back to the ship first.

"A surprise attack on the Thousand Sunny?" Perona frowned and said, "Then we definitely need to go."

While Nami is indeed quite strong, she's no match for a veteran Shichibukai like Doflamingo, so it's better to send Sanji instead.

With Sanji's strength, holding off Doflamingo for a while shouldn't be a problem.

As for defeating?

That's Luffy's job!

After all... in the rules of pirates, the enemy's captain is always fought by your own captain!!!
