You are the Blood-Eyed Ninja, aren't you?

"Let go of me!"

Seeing Luffy gripping his sword Luffy, Cavendish roared, "Let go! Let me kill you!"

As he spoke, he increased the force of his pull, intending to snatch his weapon from Luffy's hand.

Unfortunately... he was never able to do it.

"No!" Luffy refused, "If you let go, you'll keep cutting me."

"And why do I absolutely have to fight you?"

"I'm exhausted!"

Having just Luffy through a fierce battle, Luffy felt extremely tired and wanted to find a place to rest, so he didn't want to fight this Cabbage.

"You think I'd give you time to rest?!" Cavendish roared.

"Then give me the sword!"

After saying that, Luffy increased his strength, trying to snatch Cavendish's weapon, but Cavendish held on tightly, preventing Luffy from succeeding.

Seeing that he couldn't take the weapon, Luffy decisively gave up on the idea, turned around and used his longsword to swing Cavendish up, slamming him hard against the wall.

"Boom!!"

The force was so great that it smashed a large hole in the wall!

"Hello!"

The surrounding gladiators stared in disbelief at the scene, exclaiming, "Someone go and stop them!"

If they keep fighting, the Fighting Arena might even be torn down!

"Forget about stopping us, let's just stay away," one person said rationally.

Both of them are top-notch fighters; a single touch from their attacks could be fatal, so it's best to avoid getting too close.

As for the Fighting Arena?

Anyway, this is Donquixote Family property, so let the Donquixote Family worry about it.

"This... this is Luffy -senpai in person!"

Bartolomeo, hiding around the corner, his cheeks flushed, looked at Luffy excitedly and said, "That was so cool!"

"Damn it, tears are blurring my vision, I can barely see Luffy's heroic figure."

No, it's just too dazzling!

Even tears couldn't stop that light from entering my eyes!

Is this Luffy- senpai?!

That's Lihai!

Then, Bartolomeo turned his gaze to Cavendish, his eyes immediately turning cold.

'That wretched Cavendish, how dare he hunt down this lord...'

Absolutely unforgivable!

No, he must protect that person!

Thinking of this, Bartolomeo decided to reprimand Cavendish.

For some reason, he couldn't make a sound at all, and eventually he bit his tongue.

'Damn it, I'm too excited, I can't control my body...'

Cavendish, stop!

"Damn it, you've already thrown me into the wall, and you still won't let go?!" Cavendish gritted teeth.

"Of course!" Luffy replied without hesitation, "If I let go, you'll cut me again, so I absolutely cannot let go!"

Seeing that Luffy had already said that, Cavendish stopped talking nonsense and focused on grabbing his weapon.

Just then, Xi Yan walked over from the side, smiling as he watched Luffy with Cavendish, and said, "Need any help?"

As he spoke, Xi Yan shook his fist.

"You've arrived!"

Upon seeing that the person who appeared was Xi Yan, Luffy showed a look of surprise and instinctively wanted to call out Xi Yan's name.

But when he saw Xi Yan's raised fist, he immediately swallowed those two words.

Xi Yan's Haki is no joke.

"You..."

Cavendish gave Xi Yan a cold look at first, then, as if he understood something, said, "Are you the Sunglasses Man from the Straw Hat Crew?"

"Varied...?!"

Those who heard Cavendish's words immediately showed expressions of surprise.

Not only did Straw Hat himself come to participate in the competition, but his crew also came?

Bartolomeo looked at Xi Yan with excitement and said, "Is this the senior in Sunglasses Man?"

I heard this man really shone brightly on Fish-Man Island!

Seeing you today, I'm sure you're no ordinary person!

Xi Yan looked at Cavendish with some surprise; he really hadn't expected this guy to recognize him at a glance.

Is it because of Luffy?

Or was it because of his Sunglasses?

Hmm, it seems like either is possible.

But it doesn't matter, since they've already been exposed, so let them be recognized.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan pushed up his Sunglasses, his expression gradually returning to calm.

"So this counts as an admission!" Cavendish sneered. "Perfect, then I'll kill you all together!!"

I heard that this guy's first bounty was 100 million Beli. He'll definitely be a formidable opponent in the future.

So... in order to prevent him from stealing more attention, I have to kill him right here!

"Hehe, is that so?" Xi Yan tilted his head and said, "Then you can give it a try."

"Hey, are you guys going to fight here?"

The surrounding gladiators watched the three men nervously and said, "No, you should fight in the arena!"

"Yeah, aren't you and Cavendish from D Area? There's no need for you to fight here!"

If these people were to fight here, they would definitely be affected, which would not be good for the rest of the competition.

So... I suggest they stop.

However, after hearing what the people around them were saying, Xi Yan and Cavendish's expressions didn't change at all, clearly not caring much about the so-called competition.

After all... their goal from the very beginning wasn't necessarily to win the championship!

As long as the goal is achieved, winning the championship is irrelevant.

Just then, Chinjao walked over with Lao Cai and Abu, their expressions looking extremely frightening.

"Hey, Straw Hat!" Lao Cai shouted, "Listen up, my old man has something to say to you."

"Grandpa, you have to hang in there," Abu said, supporting Chinjao. "We'll be there soon."

Grandpa can get to Straw Hat and say what he wants to say.

Chinjao didn't say anything, just nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.

"Not again?"

Luffy, looking at the three approaching figures with a slight headache, said, "Isn't that enough?"

"I won!"

He'd already won the match, so why keep chasing after him to kill him?

Xi Yan frowned as he looked at Chinjao. Although he had previously judged that this guy wouldn't continue to cause trouble for Luffy, and he hadn't sensed any killing intent from him, well... no one knows what the other person is really thinking, right?

Ultimately, we're all pirates, so anything is possible.

With that in mind, Xi Yan shifted his feet a few times, ready to deal with Chinjao at any moment.

"Wait..." Chinjao gasped for breath, "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground.

The sharp tip of the cone shattered the ground with a single strike, blasting out a huge trench.

"Boom!!"

"Hello!"

Luffy and Cavendish were both stunned for a moment as they looked at the huge crater they had passed through.

How can this guy, injured like that, still unleash such terrifying power?

"Hey, Luffy, you go first, I'll handle these three."

Thinking that Chinjao was still going to fight, Xi Yan decisively said to Luffy, "Find a way to shake that guy off, I'll come back to find you later."

"Okay, I got it!"

Luffy nodded, then ran off into the distance without looking back, leaving Cavendish far behind.

Cavendish:!!!

"Hello!"

Cavendish was furious as he watched Luffy away without looking back. Was this bastard planning to keep running?

"Stop right there, you bastard!"

No way!

"Hateful..."

Seeing that Luffy showed no sign of stopping, Cavendish turned and glared fiercely at Xi Yan, saying, "I'll deal with you in the ring!"

After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked towards Luffy, intending to catch up with him and Luffy him.

However, Xi Yan's expression remained unchanged in the face of Cavendish's threat, clearly indicating that he didn't take the other party seriously.

After all, with his strength, taking down a fighter with a bounty of several hundred million Beli would be quite easy for him.

After watching the group leave, Xi Yan turned his gaze to Chinjao and said, "Grandpa, with such a serious injury, you shouldn't engage in strenuous exercise."

The other person looks like they're about to die; making a move might really...

If possible, he didn't want to bully the other party, since that would be too unfair, so he would try to persuade them if he could.

No, that's not the case.

Having finally caught his breath, Chinjao raised his head and said, "I no longer hate Garp, so please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to the Straw Hat..."

"Huh?"

Where is Straw Hat?

The Chinjao looked up in confusion. Wasn't the other person just here? How could they have disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Where are they?!

Xi Yan:???

Didn't this guy hear his conversation with Luffy?

Then, as if he understood something, Xi Yan muttered, "They're already injured this badly...?"

Is it because of the severe head injury that you have some hearing problems?

It's not impossible.

"Anyway... don't stop us." Abu said earnestly, "We mean no harm."

They were simply trying to thank the Straw Hat; they had no other intentions.

"Alright, I'll convey your thoughts." Xi Yan nodded and said, "Let's go get treatment first."

He can help take the money there if you want to express your gratitude, but if this old man doesn't get treatment soon, he might really die!

"No!"

Chinjao stubbornly insisted, "I must express my gratitude to him in person!"

Some things can't be solved just by someone saying a few words.

Therefore... he must find Straw Hat himself and explain his thoughts clearly.

"He really is a stubborn old man," Xi Yan said with a headache.

But since the old man had said so, he had no reason to stop him.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan turned to the side and said, "Since that's the case... then you should go."

"However, I can't guarantee you'll be able to find Luffy."

Luffy, who was being chased by Cavendish, has already Luffy far away. Whether he can be found depends on the abilities of Chinjao and the other two.

Thank you.

Chinjao nodded to Xi Yan, then gestured for his grandson to lead him forward to find Straw Hat and share his thoughts.

After watching them leave, Xi Yan wore a helpless expression and said, "This whole thing has become..."

Fine, if they really can't find Luffy, I'll just wait until the tournament is over and Luffy meet these guys.

At least... let the other person express their thoughts.

Then, Xi Yan glanced at Bartolomeo, who was crouching in the corner watching the Luffy had left, and muttered, "What's wrong with this guy?"

If you truly admire Luffy and say hello! That would make his life complete. But what's with squatting in the corner like that?

Will I be able to meet Luffy this way?

Thinking of this, Xi Yan wore a speechless expression, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Well, whether he goes out to chase after his idol or not is up to him.

After shaking his head, Xi Yan turned and walked towards the corridor, intending to find Luffy in that direction.

Using his clones to search the area, he had thoroughly familiarized himself with the entire map of the Contestant Area.

"I wonder how things are going on the other people's side," Xi Yan muttered.

Did Franky and his crew completely destroy the Factory?

Did Sanji reach the Thousand Sunny?

Did Nami and the others manage to pick up Caesar?

As he pondered this, Xi Yan walked into a shady spot.

However, the moment he arrived here, Xi Yan keenly sensed a gaze watching him from the shadows.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan was about to turn around and look at the other person, but before he could make a move, he heard the other person say, "You... are you the Blood-Eyed Ninja?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan's pupils shrank to their smallest size.

My identity has been exposed?!

Who exactly betrayed the fact that they are still alive?

Although he didn't know what was going on, Xi Yan knew that now was not the time to think about such things.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan turned to look at the person who spoke, and an incomparably terrifying killing intent erupted from his body!

"Who are you?!!"

At that moment, Xi Yan harbored murderous intent.

If the other party can't give a reason, then... I'll just stay here and kill them!

The Little Ghost hidden high up also turned fierce; If Xi Yan made a move, she would rush down and unleash her Negative Hollow immediately.

"Don't get excited~"

Sensing Xi Yan's terrifying killing intent, Sabo quickly raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm, and at the same time, he stepped out of the shadows so that Xi Yan could see his appearance clearly.

Seeing that the other party appeared so harmless, Xi Yan slightly reduced his killing intent, but his gaze remained fixed on Sabo, and his Observation Haki enveloped the area.

If this guy dares to say anything unnecessary, he will kill him without hesitation.

"I told you, don't get agitated."

Sabo, sensing the Observation Haki of the Xi Yan, said somewhat helplessly, "I am not an enemy."

As expected of Blood-Eyed Ninja, his caution is truly admirable.

Upon hearing Sabo's words, Xi Yan's expression remained unchanged. He continued to stare intently at Sabo, clearly waiting for him to reveal his identity, otherwise he would not be polite.

"Have you ever heard that Luffy has an older brother?" Sabo asked.

"Ha?"

Xi Yan was stunned for a moment. What did he mean by Luffy having an older brother?

Is that true?

Why has Luffy never mentioned this before?

Is it true or not?

"Nice to meet you."

Sabo removed his hat and said with a smile, "I am Sabo Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army."

"That's true... Luffy."

"Ha?!!!"
