This Person is... Xi Yan?!

"Give it your all, we'll be up there soon!" Leo shouted. "We must get Uso Landu up there safely!"

"Profound!"

Upon hearing Leo's words, the Tontatta immediately shouted, indicating that they would definitely deliver Uso Landu safely.

"Please..." Usopp said weakly.

He's basically defenseless right now, so all he can do is hope these guys can get him to the Old King's Plateau.

"Rebecca," Nico Robin glanced at Rebecca and said, "Are you alright?"

"No problem, Sister Robin."

Although her physical condition wasn't as good as she had imagined due to the battle, she still had no problem climbing up the Highland by grabbing the chains that Sister Robin had created with her powers.

"That's good."

Nico Robin nodded, then continued climbing up the chains of power.

I said...

Haku looked at Bartolomeo, who was completely absorbed in the moment, and said, "What's wrong with this guy?"

Perona followed his gaze to Bartolomeo upon hearing this, then gave him a speechless look.

Who knows?

"I'm so excited!" Bartolomeo exclaimed excitedly, "I was actually saved by Robin -senpai's hand, it's like a dream!"

"Wow!"

As he spoke, Bartolomeo burst into tears, tears streaming down his face.

"Please allow me to climb up first!"

"Awoo!"

After letting out a shout, Bartolomeo quickly rushed uphill.

"Once we get up there, we'll see Luffy and Zoro! I'm so excited!"

Haku:...

"So what's going on with that guy?" Haku asked, "And why is there a rainbow here?"

Haku's Kakuzu twitched as he looked at the area where Bartolomeo had just been.

Is it possible for someone to create a rainbow with tears?

Just then, a throwing knife suddenly flew up from below, immediately attracting Rebecca's attention.

"You Convicts, don't even think about escaping!" The catching-up enemy grinned and laughed, "Just obediently accept your fate and die!"

"Profound!"

The other enemies joined in the laughter, their eyes gleaming.

If we catch these guys, they'll have more than enough Beli to spend!

Thinking about this made them even more excited.

"Hurry up, everyone!" Rebecca shouted. "The enemy is catching up!"

"Huh?"

Usopp's expression changed upon hearing the sound. Hadn't they just defeated one group? How come another group had caught up with them so quickly?

Damn it, he doesn't want to die yet.

"Brothers, grab them quickly!" the enemy below shouted excitedly. "This is a treasure trove!"

"Profound!"

"Are you all pretending I don't exist?"

Perona floated to their side, her sharp eyes fixed on them as she said, "Go and reflect on your actions!"

"Negative Hollows!"

"Buzz~"

The next moment, a large number of Negative Ghost flew out of Perona's body and rushed towards the group of enemies.

Upon seeing this, Nicole Robin immediately shouted, "Don't touch my hand!"

After the Sugar incident, Nico Robin realized the drawbacks of her abilities.

If Perona's Negative Ghost touches it, its own body will also become extremely negative, at which point the arm chains will completely disappear!

"Rest assured."

Perona naturally understood Nico Robin's meaning, so she never intended to touch Nico Robin's hand from the beginning.

The next moment...

"Buzz~"

"I... I actually attacked my benefactor, I'm utterly trash..."

"I'm not human!"

"If there is a next life, I would rather be a paramecium."

Then, these incredibly negative people fell from the sky and disappeared.

"Hala hala hala~"

Looking at the enemy she had easily defeated, Perona laughed and said, "Now you know how powerful I am!"

"Hala hala hala~"

As long as she's around, these guys won't be able to catch up with them!

"That woman is terrifying!"

The enemies below, who hadn't yet been touched by the Negative Ghost, immediately showed expressions of fear, clearly not expecting Perona to pull such a stunt.

"Perona- senpai is amazing!"

Bartolomeo, seeing what was happening below, jumped up in excitement.

Then, he began to fall uncontrollably.

Bartolomeo:!!!

Oh no, I got too excited and let go!

"Twelve Flower Blooms!"

"Buzz~"

The next moment, several arms appeared not far from Bartolomeo, grabbing his legs and forcibly keeping him in mid-air, which relieved Bartolomeo.

Are you alright?

"Fine!"

Bartolomeo said with a look of deep emotion, "I was saved by Robin -senpai again... I'm so happy!"

"Wow!"

As he spoke, Bartolomeo burst into tears again, tears streaming down his face.

Haku:...

So, is this person really mentally ill?

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

After shaking his head, Haku chose to ignore the guy and quickly climbed upwards, soon reaching the top with the others.

"There are still pursuers below." He glanced at Rebecca below and said, "They haven't given up."

"It's okay, they can't get up here anyway."

Nico Robin smiled slightly, then deactivated her Devil Fruit power.

The next moment, the arms clinging to the wall instantly turned into flower petals and disappeared.

"Huh?"

The enemy, realizing that their foothold had disappeared, was immediately dumbfounded.

Why isn't there a spider web?

"Asshole!"

"Ah!!"

The enemy, having lost their footing, began to fall uncontrollably, eventually crashing heavily to the ground.

"Serves you right, you guys."

Perona's lips curled up. "You used to like chasing after people, huh? Now you know how powerful you are!"

After snorting, Perona turned and flew upwards, quickly returning to her companions.

"We're finally safe..." Usopp breathed a huge sigh of relief.

If those guys catch him, his head will definitely be chopped off, after all, he's worth 500 million Beli now...

500 million Beli!

That despicable Doflamingo actually put a 500 million Beli on him; he really thinks highly of him.

"It's hard to say whether it's safe or not, but at least no one will bother us for a while," Perona said.

This place is at least a hundred meters above the ground, so it won't be easy for the enemy to get up here.

Just then, a man's voice came from the side.

"It seems there are no problems on your end."

"Huh?"

"It's Sunglasses Landu!"

Upon seeing Xi Yan appear here, Leo and the others immediately showed surprise and delight. This man is here too?

That makes it even safer here!

"Sunglasses Senior!"

Bartolomeo, who had witnessed Xi Yan's appearance, was so excited he felt like he could fly.

It's great to see the Sunglasses- wearing senior again!

"Oh, you're here too."

Xi Yan smiled at Bartolomeo, then asked, "How's the Diamond Fruit?"

Don't worry!

Bartolomeo gave Xi Yan a thumbs up and said, "Senior Sabo has already snatched the Diamond Fruit!"

Although he wasn't of much help in the process.

"That's good."

Xi Yan smiled. Sabo was indeed a reliable guy.

In this way, they have accomplished one of their goals.

What are you doing here?

Nico Robin looked at Xi Yan with a puzzled expression and said, "Didn't you go to intercept Marine Admiral?"

Perona looked at Xi Yan with some confusion. What was this guy doing here, blocking the Marine Admiral?

As for Usopp?

Usopp actually thought it was better that Xi Yan was here, since with Xi Yan around, he would be safe.

"There was a slight hiccup, but it's nothing serious," Xi Yan said.

The two men had been heading towards the New Royal Palace, and considering their attitude... Xi Yan deduced that they intended to arrest Doflamingo immediately after his defeat.

So there shouldn't be any problems for now, at least not until Luffy defeats Doflamingo.

As for Smoker?

If that guy wanted to make a move, he would have done it already.

Since he hasn't made a move, it means he probably agrees with Fujitora's idea, so there's nothing to worry about for now.

Nicole Robin frowned slightly upon hearing this, but she didn't say anything more.

After all, Xi Yan has always had his own judgment, so she didn't need to say anything more.

Then, she turned her attention to Galette.

"And this is...?"

"She is Galette," Xi Yan said. "It's quite dangerous down there, so I brought her here."

Hello everyone~

Galette greeted Nico Robin and the others with a smile, showing none of the airs one would expect from a Four Emperors Crew.

"Galette?"

Haku paused for a moment, wondering why the name sounded so familiar.

Damn it, if only Klar were here, he could find out who the other person is.

Bartolomeo lowered his head, wondering if there was such a person in the Straw Hat Pirates.

Is he a friend of the guy in Sunglasses?

Yes, that should be it.

"Galette ..."

Perona muttered the name, then her eyes lit up, and she said, "I know who you are!"

"Oh?"

Galette smiled; it seemed she was quite famous on this sea.

To her surprise, the other party didn't know that this wasn't the name they were referring to.

"You're Xi Yan's fiancée, right!" Perona looked at Galette with a gossipy expression and said, "Zoro mentioned this before."

Xi Yan:???

Wait, why does Zoro say all sorts of things?

So, during those two years when he had nothing to do, he was talking to Perona about their relationship?

Nicole Robin stared at Galette in surprise. Was this Xi Yan's fiancée?

What about Hancock?

"Ahem, yes, it's me." Galette coughed lightly, then gave Perona a look that said, "You're really perceptive."

Yes, she likes this girl who seems a bit carefree.

Xi Yan:...

Xi Yan looked at Galette speechlessly. How could this girl admit it?

"What happened?" Nicole Robin asked.

"This matter is rather complicated," Xi Yan said. "We'll explain later. For now, let this guy stay here with you. I'll go find the Admiral."

After saying that, Xi Yan gave Galette a look that said, "Don't talk nonsense," and then turned around and jumped off the cliff.

Rebecca was completely stunned by what she saw.

"Hello!"

"Wanhao, this is hundreds of meters in the air!"

What does it mean to just jump down like that?

Isn't he afraid of falling to his death?

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," Nicole Robin said.

With Xi Yan's strength, let alone a hundred meters high, even ten thousand meters high wouldn't necessarily kill him, so she wasn't worried about his safety at all.

Rebecca blinked upon hearing this. "Falling from a hundred meters in the air and nothing happens?"

No wonder Lucy said he couldn't possibly beat his opponent; now it seems quite possible.

'It's a good thing Wanhao didn't participate in the D Area competition,' Rebecca thought to herself. 'Otherwise, I might not even have made it to the finals.'

Before I knew it, I owed someone another favor.

Thinking of this, Rebecca sighed helplessly.

Wanhao?

Galette looked at Rebecca with some confusion. What was the deal with this name?

Is this Xi Yan's new alias?

"It's that person from just now." Rebecca looked at Galette in confusion and said, "You don't know him?"

Although there's a high chance this name is fake, since the other party is a friend of Wanhao, they should know the background of this name.

Galette was somewhat speechless; she really didn't know.

"That was just an alias he used to participate in the competition," Nicole Robin explained.

"What is his real name?"

"You'll have to ask him yourself," Nicole Robin said with a slight smile.

There are some things she won't easily reveal without Xi Yan's consent.

After all, that could potentially cause them trouble.

"All right."

Rebecca nodded somewhat dejectedly. Oh well, she'd find an opportunity to ask the other person's name herself.

Haku, on the other hand, wore a thoughtful expression.

'If I remember correctly, Nico Robin looked at the Sunglasses Man when she mentioned Xi Yan's name,' Haku thought to himself, 'especially when she asked him to explain.'

Does that mean this person is the legendary Blood-Eyed Ninja?

If that's the case, it explains why Sabo said that before leaving.

With that person there, there won't be any problems.

Yes, if this person really is Blood-Eyed Ninja, then none of the enemies here will pose a threat.

Even Marine Admiral!

After all... that man was Ruthless Person who fought three Marine Admiral to death during the Marineford War and was even able to storm into Mary Geoise!

With someone like that around, what problems could there be?

Thinking of this, Haku couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha."

It's so good that a man like that is still alive.
