If He Can't Prove It, the Blood-Eyed Ninja Will Kill Him Without Hesitation!

"Let's do it here."

Sabo glanced around and said, "I specifically checked this place before I came looking for you; no one should be here."

This was a spot he had deliberately sought out after arriving at the Colosseum, and unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.

"Yes, no one will come here." Xi Yan nodded in agreement.

He had been to this place before when he was investigating, and indeed, not many people came here.

Then, he stared at Sabo and said, "Tell me, what evidence do you have to prove you're Luffy's older brother?"

As he spoke, he beckoned to Perona in the sky, signaling her to come down.

With his strength, he didn't need Perona to hide and launch a sneak attack.

Seeing this, Perona didn't waste any words and immediately manipulated the Little Ghost to float down from the air, landing steadily beside Xi Yan.

"Um?"

Sabo was stunned for a moment upon seeing this. What was this?

"This is my partner, Perona," Xi Yan said.

He did not explain why the other party was like that.

However, Sabo knew who Xi Yan was talking about, since Perona, the Devil Fruit User, already had a bounty on her head.

Then, he looked at Xi Yan, who was demanding an explanation, and said, "I've heard Ivankov talk about you, and I've also heard Ace talk about you..."

There's no need to say such things.

Xi Yan interrupted, "Who on this vast ocean doesn't know that Ivankov and Ace?"

They fought together in the Marineford War!

In this situation, it's perfectly normal for the two sides to have a good relationship, so the other party's statement is completely unconvincing.

Sabo frowned upon hearing this. How could that be explained?

Go find Ace?

He had called Ace when he arrived, but no one answered, which made him think that Ace was temporarily unavailable. So he planned to contact Ace again after he got the Diamond Fruit, so he didn't know where Ace was now.

As for going to find Luffy...

Even if he did know where Luffy was, the other party might not necessarily give him the opportunity to go find Luffy.

After all... the Blood-Eyed Ninja's killing intent had never been restrained from beginning to end.

This made Sabo realize one thing: if he couldn't prove his identity, this powerful figure who dared to invade Mary Geoise would not hesitate to kill him!

After realizing this, Sabo felt a bit of a headache.

"Can't you prove it?" Perona asked, her face darkening.

As they spoke, the Little Ghost's body began to float, clearly indicating that it was ready to attack.

However, Xi Yan raised his hand to stop her. He needed to make the guy explain himself clearly, otherwise he might accidentally hurt someone.

"If I could see Luffy, I would have a way to prove my existence," Sabo said.

"Why didn't you go find Luffy first, but instead came to find me?"

"Because I couldn't find Luffy," Sabo said somewhat helplessly. "I knew he came here to participate in the competition, but I couldn't find any trace of him."

After finishing his business, he went to look for Luffy, but instead of finding Luffy, he found the Blood-Eyed Ninja.

This is truly an unexpected thing.

Xi Yan stared intently at Sabo; he could tell that the guy didn't seem to be lying.

However, to avoid any problems, he still asked for more details.

"Then how did you recognize me?" Xi Yan asked. "And how did you know I was still alive?"

"Because I know Ace and Nico Robin," Sabo laughed.

"Ace and Robin?"

Xi Yan was taken aback. Ace was one thing, but what about Robin?

Then, as if remembering something, Xi Yan muttered to himself, ' Robin... I think she mentioned that she spent her two years of training with the Revolutionary Army.'

So, this guy is really one of us?

"Yes, Robin and Ace," Sabo explained. "Robin was discovered by us Revolutionary Army due to some accident and coincidence."

"After that, she stayed with us for two years."

According to her, she needs two years to become stronger.

Although he hadn't seen Nico Robin train her physique in the past two years, her strength had indeed increased, which surprised Sabo somewhat.

Sabo then continued, "As for Ace..."

At this point, Sabo paused, and some images flashed through his mind.

"When I was young, I lost my memories of Luffy and Ace due to some accident, which is why I've never gone looking for them," Sabo said. "And from their perspective, I'm already dead."

"Ha?"

Perona looked at Sabo with a face full of questions. If that was the case, how did he recognize Ace?

"Don't rush."

Sabo smiled at Perona, then continued, "You all remember the Marineford War, right?"

"Of course I remember."

Xi Yan's lips curled up slightly, as if he were recalling his heroic days.

"That's quite a great stage for me."

The Three Admirals of the Navy are all incredibly powerful, and their battles are absolutely thrilling.

As for old man Garp... back then, facing old man Garp was like a child facing an adult; he was easily defeated with a single punch. Therefore, Xi Yan felt there was no point in fighting him.

Let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it...

Seeing Xi Yan's reaction, Perona showed a helpless expression. They were on serious business right now!

"Hello!"

"Ah, I know, I know."

Xi Yan waved to Perona; how could he possibly forget what he was doing right now?

I was just happy to recall certain scenes.

Then he said to Sabo, "Go on."

"Um."

"After watching the Marineford War two years ago, I felt like I vaguely remembered something, but the memory was very blurry, and I also had a terrible headache, so I temporarily gave up thinking about it."

"Until..."

At this point, Sabo paused, a smile appearing on his face.

"Until what?" Perona asked quickly.

"Until I met Ace."

"Ha?"

Perona was taken aback. Could it be that seeing Ace in person had triggered the recall of his lost memories?

"Ace recognized you?" Xi Yan asked curiously.

I guess so.

Recalling the scene, Sabo laughed and said, "According to Ace, the moment he saw me, he felt that I looked very familiar, but because I had died in his memory, he couldn't be sure whether I was Sabo or not."

"And so, the two of us got into a fight over something, until I pulled out my special weapon— the Water Pipe —which made him realize what was happening and stop."

"Water Pipe?"

Perona's head was filled with question marks. What kind of strange weapon was this?

Xi Yan, on the other hand, didn't find it strange. After all, this world has something called "Haki," so it's normal to fight with any weapon.

"Hmm, Water Pipe."

Sabo wasn't angry at Perona's curiosity, after all, the weapon he used was indeed somewhat unusual.

"These are weapons we liked to use when we were little, and we've been using them ever since we grew up."

"But didn't you lose your memory?" Perona asked, puzzled.

He's already lost his memory, so why can he still use the weapons he used as a child?

"I do have amnesia, but my ingrained habits won't change," Sabo said with a hint of helplessness.

Perona wasn't the only one curious; the Revolutionary Army were also very curious.

But there's nothing he can do; he just likes using this.

"When a person suffers from amnesia, they don't necessarily lose all their memories." Recalling some of Sister Tsunade's words, Xi Yan said, "More or less, some will always remain."

As for the amount, it depends on the severity of the stimulation and harm suffered.

The bigger the loss, the greater the loss; the smaller the loss, the less the loss.

"Oh, I see."

Perona nodded thoughtfully, then fell into deep thought, seemingly lost in thought.

After glancing at Perona, Xi Yan looked at Sabo and said, "So, you were recognized by Ace because of your weapon?"

"More or less," Sabo nodded.

He was actually very happy to be recognized by Ace, because it meant that his brother had not forgotten him!

Sabo then continued, "After he recognized me, he tried everything to make me remember who he was, but unfortunately, my situation at the time was rather unique, and I really couldn't remember him."

"So we fought again, just like... when we were kids."

At this point, a smile returned to Sabo's face, a very happy one.

At that moment, childhood memories resurfaced in his mind; those were truly happy times.

"Another fight broke out..."

Xi Yan's lips twitched. This memory recovery was indeed quite unique, but considering the art style of this world, Xi Yan found it reasonable.

"Anyway... it was because of Ace that I remembered everything," Sabo said. "Afterwards, we shared some information, and he said you were definitely still alive, and Nico Robin also said you were definitely still alive, so I was certain you were alive."

This is why he immediately recognized Xi Yan as the Blood-Eyed Ninja upon first glance.

"So that's how it is." Xi Yan stroked his chin, already having a pretty good idea of Sabo's identity.

However, to be 100% certain that this guy was a perfect 10, he still needed to make a phone call.

After all... the situation in Dressrosa this time is very complicated, and they can't afford to be careless.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan took out his Den Den Mushi, intending to contact Ace first.

Sabo was startled upon seeing this and quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Of course, we should contact Ace," Xi Yan said matter-of-factly.

Sabo:...

So despite all that he said, he still didn't gain the other party's trust?

Is this guy really that cautious?

As if sensing Sabo's thoughts, Xi Yan said, "My identity is rather special, so it's definitely right to be cautious."

As a Ninja, one must be cautious, otherwise it's easy to make a mistake.

Then, Xi Yan planned to call Ace.

"But this Colosseum is already surrounded by the Navy," Sabo said helplessly. "If we make any phone calls, they'll be tapped."

"And Ace might not even be able to answer the phone."

The last time he called, no one answered, so there's no guarantee he'll get through this time.

"Don't worry, I have White Den Den Mushi," Xi Yan said.

As they spoke, Xi Yan took out the White Den Den Mushi and waved it at Sabo, indicating that he had it and wasn't afraid of being eavesdropped on.

Sabo:!!!

Sabo stared at Xi Yan in surprise. This guy even had such a rare White Den Den Mushi?

You know, this isn't something you can just buy with money.

Even he didn't have it!

Xi Yan ignored the guy's reaction and dialed Ace's Den Den Mushi without hesitation.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Kaga ~"

"Hello?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing that it wasn't Ace's voice, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Where is Ace?

"Captain Ace is fighting Katakuri right now," the other person said. "If you need to talk to him, wait until the captain's finished."

"Alright, I have to go provide support now. Goodbye."

"Kaga ~"

Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had ended the call, Xi Yan was silent for a moment. It seemed that there was no way to communicate with Ace now.

"Ace is fighting Katakuri?" Sabo frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Yesterday, Ace said he was going to Dressrosa to steal the Diamond Fruit, because he was hoping to come here and reunite with his brothers.

As a result... they went to war with the Big Mom Pirates?

Is this really that outrageous?

"The Big Mom Pirates are also here to compete for the Diamond Fruit," Xi Yan explained. "And in order for us to help them successfully seize the Diamond Fruit, Ace went to intercept Katakuri."

After hearing Xi Yan's explanation, Sabo understood what had happened.

Ace did the right thing. If they wanted to get the Diamond Fruit, someone had to stop Katakuri and them coming here.

As for the Diamond Fruit?

Luffy and the others are here, so there shouldn't be any problem leaving this matter to Luffy.

However, since they were already here, Luffy and his crew decided to leave the matter to themselves and make their own Luffy out.

Thinking of this, Sabo was about to say something, but before he could speak, he noticed that Xi Yan had dialed the Den Den Mushi again, but this time, surprisingly, no one answered.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

Seeing that no one was answering the Den Den Mushi, Xi Yan's expression darkened.

"What happened?"

"Could something have happened to Robin and the others?"

Given Robin's personality, she shouldn't be without Den Den Mushi, but now...

Has something really gone wrong?

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Perona snapped out of her reverie and replied, "No, Robin is alright."

Xi Yan:???

Xi Yan turned to look at Perona with a puzzled expression. Could it be that she had also sent the Little Ghost to Robin's side?

If that's the case, then we can figure out what's really going on with Robin.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan asked, "What's the situation over there?"

"Robin and Usopp are with us now, they're perfectly safe," Perona said. "My main body has already gone to find her."

"Once we find her, we'll be able to figure out this guy's identity, so don't worry."

Seeing that Perona had said so, Xi Yan was temporarily relieved, as long as nothing was wrong.
