Meli Landu Is Amazing!

Perona thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to make sense.

After all, Usopp couldn't fool them before they took Usopp away, could he?

Once Perona understood this, she stopped worrying about it.

"So you guys don't know what exactly happened over there?" Zoro asked, frowning.

"Yes."

Nico Robin nodded and said, "However, around three o'clock, I briefly spoke to Law using my Devil Fruit ability. At that time, he already knew the details from Sanji."

"So I think he's currently trying to figure out a way to escape from Doflamingo with Caesar."

After speaking, Nico Robin paused slightly, then continued, "Of course, it could also be to buy us some time."

Based on their battle plan, Luo himself is tasked with buying them time, so it's possible that he is currently doing so.

"It seems the situation over there is quite dangerous," Usopp said worriedly. "Will Nami and the others be alright?"

That's Doflamingo!

If they run into Doflamingo on their way to pick them up, wouldn't Nami and the others be...?

"Law is Shichibukai, after all; he won't be defeated so easily," Zoro thought for a moment and said. "Besides, there's that Color Cook with us, so Nami and the others should be able to pick him up smoothly."

Although he fights with the Color Cook every day, he still knows exactly how strong that guy is.

Therefore, Zoro felt that the chances of something going wrong were not high.

"Actually, we might not necessarily face off against Doflamingo," Perona said. "Don't forget Law's Devil Fruit ability."

That guy's ability allows him to instantly teleport someone from a distance to his side, so Law should be able to send Caesar over very easily.

As for the pursuit that followed?

With that Weather Queen around, is there any need to fear being hunted down?

"That's true."

Usopp thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense.

Perona smiled upon hearing this, then continued, "Besides, I also sent a Negative Ghost and Sanji to find Nami and the others. If anything bad happens, I'll know immediately."

"At that time... we can have Merry take us there as fast as possible."

If Merry uses her ability to fly, she should be able to reach the Green Bit quickly to rescue people.

As for being discovered?

Now that Doflamingo has already broken ties with them, why should he care about being exposed?

No need, okay?

"Okay." Merry nodded seriously and said, "If anything happens, remember to tell me immediately."

To be honest, she was also a little worried about Nami and the others.

"OK."

Perona smiled and ruffled the cute little guy's hair; she adored him.

"Please wait a moment!"

Leo, who had overheard their conversation, turned to look at Merry and asked, "What do you mean by 'fly'?"

It means exactly what it says.

After saying that, Merry activated her ability, using the Power of Wind to lift herself up from the ground and float steadily in mid-air.

"See, that's it~"

"That's Lihai!"

The Tontatta were all stunned to see Merry standing in mid-air with her hands on her hips.

Why is this hero able to fly without wings?

"Is this also a magical technique?!" Leo quickly asked.

"Thumbology?"

Several question marks popped into Merry's head. What was that?

Are there still such things as magical arts on this vast sea?

"It's Devil Fruit power," Nico Robin explained. "They treat Devil Fruit power as some kind of magic."

Leo mentioned this when he was demonstrating the Devil Fruit ability to her.

"Oh~"

"So it's Devil Fruit ability."

Merry gave a look of Satori realization. So it was just a difference in how she addressed people?

Then, Merry said, "This isn't evil... magic, you know~"

"No?"

Leo looked confused. If it wasn't some kind of magic, how could he fly?

"I didn't gain this ability by eating Devil Fruit; it's a talent I already possessed," Merry explained.

"Itself?"

Kabu looked surprised. Could this hero also be from some kind of magical race?

Wait a minute, isn't she a descendant of Noland?

Thinking about this, Kabu became somewhat puzzled.

Usopp clearly saw the problem, so he quickly said, "Ah, this is a talent that Meli Landu possesses; he's one of the more special people in our clan."

"What, so that's what it is."

Kabu gave a look of Satori realization; it seemed he had been overthinking things.

Damn it, he actually doubted the hero! He deserves to die!

Thinking of this, Kabu lowered his head and admitted his mistake without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."

"Ah?"

Merry paused for a moment. What suspicion?

What is this guy saying?

"Don't worry, our kind and lovely Meli Landu won't be angry with you." Usopp walked over with a smile, ruffled Merry's hair, and said, "Right, Miss Going Merry ~"

"Of course!"

Although she didn't know what it meant, Merry continued talking along with Usopp's words.

This relieved Kabu greatly; at least he wasn't angry.

If he were to cause the hero to become angry, then he would truly become a sinner.

"In short, I have the ability to control the wind," Merry said.

As she spoke, she used the Power of Wind to gently lift Kabu up from the ground, leaving Kabu completely stunned.

He flew up too?

He can actually fly without wings?

"Mr. Kabu has flown!"

"Amazing!"

"No, it's Meli Landu's more powerful."

Kabu looked at Merry excitedly and said, "With Meli Landu's ability, we can get closer to the enemy much more easily."

"That's right!"

"That's wonderful!"

The Tontatta were immediately excited; the surprises the heroes were bringing them were getting bigger and bigger!

Merry was very satisfied with these guys' reactions; her abilities were indeed very impressive!

Hahahaha.

Usopp, on the other hand, looked at these people with a bit of annoyance; this wasn't the reaction he wanted.

We can't really send Merry to fight Doflamingo with them...

He didn't want his lovely little girl, Merry, to get hurt.

Kyros, observing this scene from afar, had a thought forming in his mind:

What race is this little girl?

Are there such races living in this ocean?

For a moment, Kyros was somewhat bewildered.

However, considering that the other party was an ally on their side, Kyros temporarily suppressed this thought.

It doesn't matter what race the other side is, or who they are; what matters is helping them defeat the Donquixote Family.

As for the others?

We can talk about that later.

"Merry really likes them," Zoro said with some emotion.

Perhaps it's because everyone is relatively young?

"Really."

Perona nodded in agreement; Merry truly adored the little ones.

However, she is the same in this respect.

After all... who wouldn't love such an adorable little guy?

After glancing at Merry's group, Franky turned to Perona and asked, "What about Luffy's situation?"

We've only talked about Sanji's situation so far, but we haven't talked about Xi Yan and Luffy's situation yet.

So he really wanted to know what was going on on the other side.

Did Xi Yan actually obtain the Diamond Fruit?

If you've already obtained the Diamond Fruit, there's no need to continue participating in this Bullfighting Arena.

Upon hearing Franky's words, Merry stopped demonstrating her abilities to these people and instead flew onto Franky's shoulder, waiting for Perona to continue.

"Over there over there..."

Perona closed her eyes, observed the situation through the Negative Ghost beside Xi Yan, and then opened her eyes to say, "Luffy is still fighting that old man called Chinjao."

Hearing Perona's words, Nicole Robin subconsciously glanced at the live stream screen in the distance.

She and Usopp had just heard Franky Luffy and Xi Yan had done, so they roughly understood their thoughts.

Usopp retorted, "There's no need to explain that, you can see it from the live stream footage over there."

"Of course I know, I just mentioned it casually."

Perona rolled her eyes at Usopp; why did this guy talk so much?

After giving Usopp a disapproving look, Perona continued, "And... Sunglasses Landu is watching the match with my Negative Ghost in the player viewing window."

Franky:???

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind:... Didn't Xi Yan go looking for the Diamond Fruit?

Oh~

I see, that guy used a clone to find it, right?

Thinking about this, Franky gradually calmed down again.

Zoro then asked, "His match isn't over yet?"

"No."

Perona said, "From what he's saying, his match is in D Area, which is right after Luffy's match."

Upon hearing this, Zoro immediately became excited.

"If I go now, can I replace him?"

Ultimately, Xi Yan's goal is simply to seize the Diamond Fruit, so it doesn't matter who wins the championship between them.

"Don't dream about it," Vika warned. "The rules of the Bullfighting Arena are that once registration is closed, no one is allowed to interrupt the match."

"So even if you go now, it's useless; you'll just get kicked out."

Although she didn't know why this Giant Race was so eager to go to that place to fight, the current conditions simply didn't allow him to do so, so she could only ask him to give up.

"There's such a rule?" Zoro said unhappily, "What a hassle."

In that case, wouldn't he be unable to participate in this interesting competition?

Damn it, this is really annoying.

"That's just how the Bullfighting Arena rules are," Kyros explained. "It's also to avoid unnecessary trouble."

If we don't do this, others could observe the matches for a while and then jump in to play weaker games, which would be unfair to the other players.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish such rules.

Zoro didn't say much after listening to Kyros's explanation, since he wouldn't be able to participate in the tournament this time anyway, so there was no point in saying anything more.

"So that guy and Luffy are planning to compete for the championship and get the Diamond Fruit by participating in a tournament?" Usopp couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

"This..."

Usopp hesitated. Could this method really work?

From Law's words, he also roughly understood what kind of opponent the man called Doflamingo was.

Furthermore, the two sides have already completely broken off relations...

In this situation, would the opponent really hand over the Diamond Fruit obediently after Luffy or Xi Yan wins the championship?

The answer is most likely no, since the other party already knows who Luffy is!

Thinking of this, Usopp glanced subconsciously at Luffy, who was fighting with the Gum-Gum Fruit, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.

Luffy really can't hide his true abilities.

"I understand what you mean, but according to that guy..."

After recalling what Xi Yan had said, Perona said, "Doflamingo probably wouldn't dare use a fake as a prize in front of so many people, so the Devil Fruit must be real."

"Even if it were true, they wouldn't give it to both of them, right?" Usopp pointed at Luffy, who was fighting with the Gum-Gum Fruit, and said, "I could tell it was Luffy at a glance."

Anyone with eyes can recognize that this is Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit ability.

"Sunglasses Landu said that as long as he sees where the Devil Fruit is, he can steal it, so there's no need for Doflamingo to actually give it to them," Perona said.

According to Xi Yan, it doesn't matter whether Doflamingo actually gives them to them or not, as long as he can find out where the Diamond Fruit is.

"Is that so...?"

After recalling Xi Yan's strength, Usopp nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

That's true. With Xi Yan's strength, getting that Devil Fruit shouldn't be a problem.

At that moment, a thought of reflection crossed Nico Robin's mind.

'If Xi Yan weren't restricted from revealing his identity, he could have destroyed the entire Donquixote Family all by himself,' Nicole Robin thought to herself.

After all... Xi Yan is Ruthless Person who can fight Three Admirals of the Navy and survive, and who can single-handedly storm Mary Geoise!!!

With such an existence, destroying a Donquixote Family wouldn't be difficult at all.

Unfortunately... for the safety of the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates, Xi Yan cannot do that.

We can't do that, at least not now.

"I hope their operation goes smoothly," Merry said.

Don't worry.

Nico Robin laughed upon hearing this, "Don't you know how strong they are?"

Upon hearing this, Merry blinked and then returned a sweet smile.

"That's true~"
