Lightning Release: Lightning Draw

Luffy's attack was incredibly powerful; it sent Cambaccino flying, crashing into a distant Iceberg and embedding itself in it.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Cambaccino rolled his Byakugan and lost consciousness.

Cambaccino's body then gradually slid down and eventually landed on an ice floe below.

"It's over..."

Seeing his older brother get killed, Brindy knew he couldn't possibly beat these guys.

Arubell's expression wasn't much better; the moment he saw the Giant Water Dragon, Arubell knew he was doomed.

"Manipulating seawater, controlling lightning..." Arubell smiled wryly, "Is this the power of Ninja?"

They've really bitten off more than they can chew this time.

This terrifying pirate crew, with a total bounty of 1 billion Beli, is not someone the Arino Family can mess with.

At the very least, none of them could beat these guys. As for their father... could their father possibly win?

For a moment, Arubell's eyes were filled with worry.

"Damn it, I didn't expect you to be so strong," Brindy said through gritted teeth. "We really miscalculated."

We've lost. Utterly lost.

These people failed to inflict any effective damage on the Straw Hat Pirates from beginning to end; instead, they were completely outmaneuvered.

"Now it's your turn," Sanji said.

"Don't get too cocky," Brindy said. "The reason our Achino Family is so powerful is not because of us, but because our father is strong enough!"

"Just wait, my father will treat you well."

"Not only will we steal your Pirate Flag, but we'll also kill you all for the bounty!"

After saying that, Brindy jumped up without hesitation, took out tools from her pocket, landed on the edge of the Iceberg, and then began to climb up quickly, seemingly intending to go to Robin's side.

"You bastard, stop right there!" Sanji yelled.

He instinctively wanted to chase after it, but found that this time the Iceberg was extremely high, and he had no way of climbing Iceberg vertically; he could only do so with the help of tools.

"Luffy, do you remember what you said?" Xi Yan suddenly asked.

"Ah," Luffy said, adjusting his hat, "Since they've already attacked us, we have no choice but to fight back."

"Xi Yan, go do what you want to do."

If they are bullied, they will always find a way to fight back; they don't have the habit of suffering losses for nothing.

"That's truly a reasonable person."

Xi Yan's lips curled up; the feeling of being understood by Luffy so easily was wonderful. Perhaps this was the guy's personal charm.

"Damn it, damn it, don't let me catch you, or you'll regret it!" Brindy said viciously as she climbed to the top.

Then, he looked at Nico Robin, who were standing not far away beside Arubell, and immediately revealed a ferocious expression, saying, "In that case, I'll start by collecting some interest from you."

Hearing the sound, Nico Robin turned around and glanced at Brindy, but her expression didn't change because she saw someone appear behind Brindy.

Merry even made a face at Brindy.

"Hehehe~"

"You guys aren't afraid of me?!"

Before Brindy could finish speaking, he felt a hand on his shoulder, which instantly made him break out in a cold sweat.

Where do you want to go?

To Brindy, Xi Yan's calm voice sounded like the whisper of a demon!

"Damn it, don't think I'll give up so easily!" Brindy roared, raising his right hand as he prepared to attack Xi Yan with the tools he had just used to climb.

But Xi Yan didn't give him that chance, launching an attack the instant he raised his hand.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Draw!"

"Ah!"

The power of lightning instantly surged from Xi Yan's hand, causing Brindy to be covered in smoke and his eyes to turn Byakugan.

What's shocking is that this Lightning Release only affected Brindy and didn't hit Nico Robin and the others in the distance, which shows just how powerful Xi Yan's control over Chakra is.

After casually tossing Brindy to the ground, Xi Yan gave Arubell a friendly look and said, "You two, I think... you won't do anything reckless, right?"

Large beads of sweat immediately streamed down Arubell's face, and he nodded resignedly.

The eldest and Second Brother have both been defeated, and the third brother is probably no match for them either. Now we can only rely on our father.

"Very good, I like obedient hostages." Xi Yan nodded.

"What you up to?"

Nico Robin looked at Xi Yan as he approached with curiosity on her face.

"Since these guys have already attacked us, we should collect some interest," Xi Yan said.

After saying that, he glanced at Arubell and said, "Tell me, how much money does your Achino Family have?"

Arubell pursed his lips but did not answer the question.

"Looks like we'll have to..."

"It's probably around six or seven hundred million Beli."

"Lilu?!"

Arubell looked up at his sister in disbelief, clearly not expecting her to reveal enemy information so easily.

"Sister, do you think they'll let us live if we don't tell the truth?" Lilu said with a bitter expression. "They're pirates, you know."

Arubell fell silent. Yes, the other party was a pirate.

This wasn't child's play; it was a Life and Death Fight. If the pirates failed, they would be beheaded and sold for money.

Now that they've failed, how could the pirates let them off so easily?

Thinking of this, Arubell sighed silently.

'My dear, please don't come any closer...' Arubell thought to himself.

She wasn't sure if she would survive this time, but she wanted her husband to at least live.

"I didn't expect you to be so direct."

Xi Yan looked at the young girl with some surprise; her decisiveness was completely unlike what someone her age should be able to do.

"Will you let us go if I don't tell you?"

What do you think?

"Isn't this obvious?" Lilu shook her head. "I just hope they won't kill us now for the sake of the money."

"I have no interest in bullying children," Xi Yan said calmly. "As long as you cooperate, I won't make things difficult for you."

The fact that this child is still standing here peacefully proves that Merry didn't harm her.

He didn't know why Merry hadn't intervened, but since Merry had let her go, Xi Yan respected Merry decision.

"However... it's quite surprising that a Bounty Hunter Family like yours only has six or seven hundred million Beli," Xi Yan said. "I thought you had more."

"How could that be?" Lilu shook her head and said, "Catching pirates with bounties isn't easy, especially since we need to support our families. What we have now is the result of our hard work over the years."

Xi Yan nodded and said nothing more. He could tell that the girl wasn't lying.

Just then, Franky walked over carrying a person whose Byakugan had rolled back, clearly indicating that the person had lost consciousness.

"I'm back!"

Franky casually tossed Hokru in front of the group and muttered, "This guy actually knows how to fake surrender. I don't know what he was thinking with this tactic."

Honestly, if it hadn't been him who faced this guy this time, he might have actually gotten hurt.

That sneak attack struck him squarely in the stomach; anyone who wasn't made of iron would have been injured.

"Hokru ..."

"Wow, Franky is amazing!" Merry exclaimed.

"Ha, I had a super awesome week!"

"Super!!"

Franky, praised by Merry, immediately made his signature gesture, his face beaming with joy.

Being praised by such an adorable creature made him feel his blood boil.

"Let's go, it's time to set off," Xi Yan said.

Where to?

"Of course we're going to the bounty hunters' lair," Xi Yan said, glancing at Arubell. "Those twins just said their father is incredibly powerful."

"To get what you want, you naturally have to face this guy."

After speaking, Xi Yan paused, then added, "This was also done with Luffy's consent."

"The matter isn't over until their boss is defeated," Franky grinned. "I just wonder how much money they actually have."

He naturally remembered that Nami was thinking about the bounty hunter's money.

"Six or seven hundred million, I guess."

"That's quite a lot, hahaha."

Arubell opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just sighed, resignedly got up from the ground, and followed behind Xi Yan.

"And what about them?" Merry asked, pointing to the three defeated men. "Aren't you taking them with you?"

"Ignore them and let them fend for themselves here," Xi Yan said.

They had been beaten unconscious and were on the verge of death; if they could still survive, it would be a stroke of luck for them.

After picking up Merry, Nico Robin walked over naturally and gestured for Xi Yan to take her downstairs.

Without any hesitation, Xi Yan wrapped his other arm around Nico Robin's waist and leaped off the Iceberg.

"Looks like I'll have to take you guys with me." Franky didn't hesitate to grab one in each hand and jump down as well.

Just before he fell, Arubell glanced back at his two family members lying on the ground, thinking, 'At least I wasn't killed right now...'

I hope they survive.

With this in mind, Arubell was taken aboard the Thousand Sunny by Franky.

"Hey, Franky, you bastard! How can you be so rude to a lady?!" Sanji rushed over and yelled.

Franky:???

Franky opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Sanji didn't seem to mind and turned to Arubell, saying, "Beautiful lady, are you alright?"

Arubell:...

What's going on with this group?

"Why did you bring them both back?" Usopp asked.

"Of course, they'll lead the way!" Nami pushed Usopp aside and walked up to Xi Yan, saying, "Am I right, Xi Yan!"

Seeing the glint of money in Nami's eyes, Xi Yan nodded. "Yes, that little girl just said that her family has at least six or seven hundred million Beli."

"Once we defeat their father, we can take this money as compensation for emotional distress."

"So much money?!"

Nami was immediately excited; that was one and a half Xi Yan coins!

"Xi Yan, you're absolutely reliable!"

Xi Yan smiled, then glanced at Luffy and said, "Luffy, what are your thoughts?"

"Ah, I'll beat him to a pulp!" Luffy said. "I hate guys like that!"

His opponent not only wanted to steal the Pirate Flag but also wanted to kill his crewmates, so naturally he couldn't tolerate it.

"Okay, I understand." Xi Yan nodded.

Since Luffy has already decided on this opponent, he won't try to take it from Luffy.

"Let's go, let's collect our compensation for emotional distress!" Nami said.

"Profound!"

"That's strange, why don't we see Zoro?" Merry suddenly said.

I was so focused on my surroundings that I only just realized Zoro is gone.

"Huh?"

"Eh!!!"

On the other side, on the vast ice plain, Zoro frowned as he looked around and said, "Where did these guys go?"

"Honestly, it's amazing that so many people can get lost. It's really worrying. They really can't do without me."

After shaking his head, Zoro turned his gaze to a strange building not far away, with the words "Achino Family" written on it in large characters!

Clearly, this Three Sword Style swordsman, who had been lost in the Iceberg, had miraculously arrived here before Xi Yan and the others.

Let's go take a look.
