You Can Use Sealing Scrolls Too?!
"We've been flying for so long and still haven't seen the top." Usopp looked up at the sky with curiosity and said, "Just how tall is this thing?"
"It must be at least several thousand meters long," Xi Yan guessed.
Even with his sharp eyesight, he couldn't quite make out how tall this thing was, but it must have been several thousand meters tall, otherwise Merry wouldn't have been able to fly for so long.
"Several kilometers?"
"Of course." Xi Yan pointed to the distant sea and said, "If it didn't have this height, do you think it could walk on the sea?"
He even felt he hadn't said enough; this behemoth might be tens of thousands of meters long.
"That's true..."
Usopp glanced at the distant sea and his eyelids twitched slightly. If it weren't thousands of meters away, this big guy would have drowned long ago.
However... just thinking about them climbing thousands of meters into the air to Zou made Usopp's scalp tingle. What if they fell and were smashed to pieces?
Thinking of this, Usopp coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, it seems I've caught a disease that prevents me from coming to this island..."
"Oh~"
Xi Yan and the others looked at Usopp with smiles, their expressions seeming to say: Keep making things up, kid.
Usopp:...
Oh no, I've used this excuse too many times, it's no longer effective!
"Merry wouldn't believe that," Perona said irritably. "You'd better behave yourself."
He even contracted an illness that prevented him from going to the island... Why doesn't he mention that he felt like he was dying whenever he saw elephants?
Usopp was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything more and could only obediently accept his fate of going to the island.
"Oh, right." Luffy seemed to remember something, turned to look at Kin'emon and Kanjuro, and said, "Kin'emon, I remember you mentioned before that you had a companion here, right?"
"Yes," Kin'emon nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, he should be here."
"Our destination after leaving Wano Country is Zou Island," Kanjuro explained. "So our other companion will definitely come."
"Is he a samurai too?"
"No, he's Ninja," Kanjuro said seriously. "Ninja Raizo."
"Huh?"
"Eh!!"
Everyone looked surprised, clearly not expecting that the other person's other companion was Ninja.
Then, everyone subconsciously turned their attention to Xi Yan; he was also a Ninja.
"Heh, no wonder they asked me if I was from Wano Country." Xi Yan stroked his chin, then asked, "How strong is that guy?"
"And what exactly is Ninjutsu?"
"Raizo's Ninjutsu..." Kanjuro recalled Raizo's abilities and said, "For example, the Clairvoyance Technique that allows him to see extremely far!"
Kin'emon:???
"Nonsense!" Kin'emon said irritably, "When did Raizo acquire this Ninjutsu?"
Kanjuro chuckled upon hearing this and said nothing more.
Xi Yan immediately understood; that Kanjuro was just messing with him.
"Raizo has quite a few tricks up his sleeve," Kin'emon said. "You'll see when you see them."
After saying that, Kin'emon paused for a moment, then continued, "However... his skills are not Lihai as Xi Yan's."
His time with the Straw Hat Pirates allowed him to witness the power of Xi Yan.
Wood Style, Water Release, Clone Technique... these techniques are far beyond Raizo's capabilities!
Therefore, he should refrain from boasting about Raizo's abilities before meeting Raizo.
"I agree with that," Kanjuro nodded. "At least Raizo doesn't have the ability to control the sea."
As he finished speaking, a look of emotion appeared on Kanjuro's face.
Xi Yan's abilities were indeed beyond his imagination. Who would have thought that there was someone in this world who could control the ocean?!
'I wonder if taking him to Wano Country will affect Lord Orochi's plans,' Kanjuro thought to himself.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Kanjuro gradually calmed down, because there is no seawater in Wano Country, so the Xi Yan's ability naturally cannot be used.
In this situation, the opponent's capabilities will inevitably be greatly reduced!
In that case... there's absolutely no need to be afraid of the Straw Hat Pirates!
After figuring this out, Kanjuro calmed down completely.
"Ah!"
"We've reached the top!"
Seeing the summit getting closer and closer, Luffy excitedly shouted, "Merry, hurry, accelerate and rush up!"
"Okay!"
With a grin, Merry raised her hands and began to increase her power output, quickly lifting the Thousand Sunny onto Zunesha's body.
We've finally arrived.
The moment the pirate ship landed, Law jumped off, his eyes sharply scanning his surroundings to avoid being ambushed.
"Let's go!" Luffy grinned. "I can't wait for an adventure!"
I wonder what the Mink Tribe looks like.
"Profound!"
The others followed suit and jumped off the pirate ship. Then, Merry pointed to the Thousand Sunny and asked, "What about our pirate ship?"
"Why don't we just leave it here for now?" Zoro said. "It's not like we'll lose it."
"Have you forgotten where we are?" Xi Yan said irritably. "What if this elephant knocks the boat overboard?"
"This is thousands of meters in the air!"
The Thousand Sunny will shatter if it falls.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Have you forgotten Merry's abilities?
After Xi Yan finished speaking, he turned to look at Merry and said, "Merry, use the Sealing Scroll to put the pirate ship away."
"Profound!"
Merry nodded, then took out a huge scroll from her Little Pouch, intending to use it to temporarily seal the Thousand Sunny.
"Sealing Scroll?"
Kanjuro looked at the thing in Merry's hand in surprise and said, "You can do this too?"
"Also?"
Merry stopped what she was doing, turned to Kanjuro with a puzzled look, and said, "What do you mean by that?"
"Remember Raizo I mentioned earlier?" Kanjuro said, "He needed to use a scroll to unleash his powerful Ninjutsu."
"Oh?"
Xi Yan asked with some surprise, "Could it be that your Wano Country is also skilled in Sealing Technique?"
If that's really the case, then it means that Wano Country isn't as simple as it seems.
"What is Sealing Technique?" Kanjuro looked at Xi Yan with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding what the other party meant.
Xi Yan:???
What is Sealing Technique?
Didn't he himself say that guy named Raizo was good at this?
"You don't know Sealing Technique?"
"I don't know what Sealing Technique are, but Raizo does need scrolls when he releases some Ninjutsu," Kanjuro explained.
Xi Yan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then muttered to himself, 'Could that Raizo be Devil Fruit User the Scroll Fruit?'
Thinking of this, Xi Yan asked, "Is he Devil Fruit User?"
Kanjuro blinked upon hearing this, then said, "You mean Demon Technique?"
"Raizo is indeed Devil Fruit User," Kin'emon explained after shoving Kanjuro aside. "He gained scroll Demon Technique after eating Devil Fruit."
"What? So she's Devil Fruit User."
Usopp and the others immediately lost interest. They had thought they would witness Ninjutsu different from Xi Yan's, but it turned out to be just Devil Fruit User?
Then there's nothing to see.
"Our Sealing Scroll are not the same as the Demon Technique you speak of," Merry said. "We rely on Sealing Technique to unleash our abilities."
After saying that, Merry didn't say anything more. Instead, she turned to the Thousand Sunny and used her Sealing Technique technique to collect the entire pirate ship into the scroll.
"Completed~"
Merry patted her Little Pouch with satisfaction; now their pirate ship would be safe.
Kanjuro stared in astonishment at the scene. Such a large ship could be contained inside... This Sealing Technique is quite powerful. At least Raizo had never done anything like this.
"That's similar to Raizo's ability," Kin'emon said, stroking his chin. "However, he's never used a scroll to retrieve a ship."
Hmm, if there's a chance, we can let Raizo give it a try.
However... since Raizo's ability can collect items, he should be able to collect the ship as well, right?
"If there's a chance later, let's meet him," Xi Yan said. "I'm really curious about the abilities of his scroll."
Perhaps... it's also Devil Fruit ability related to space?
"Hey, what are you all standing there for? Hurry up and catch up!"
"Luffy?"
Seeing Luffy suddenly appear ahead of them, Usopp was filled with questions. Couldn't this guy have waited for them?
"Hey, Luffy," Zoro frowned, "We know nothing about this land, don't wander off."
"I know."
Luffy waved with a grin, then turned and slowly walked forward, clearly not listening to Zoro's words.
Zoro:...
It seems that these words were somewhat superfluous.
"Let's go." Xi Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "Anyway, with so many of us together, even if we get cornered, nothing will happen."
After saying that, Xi Yan strode inside.
Meanwhile, Merry floated up and sat steadily on Xi Yan's shoulder, leaning against Xi Yan head and looking around warily, as if afraid that some monster might suddenly appear.
"Don't be afraid." Xi Yan reached out and tapped the little guy's cheek, saying, "I'm here."
"Uh-huh."
Merry smiled and nodded, then completely relaxed, leaning against Xi Yan to admire the scenery.
Soon, the group crossed a gravel road and arrived at the border of Zou.
"Hey everyone, look at this!"
"This is..."
Upon hearing Luffy's voice, Perona instinctively walked over and asked in surprise, "The gate of Zou?"
"It should be."
Zoro squinted and surveyed his surroundings, then said, "It seems there really is a country here."
"There's also Crow's Nest."
Usopp pointed to the Crow's Nest on the city wall and said, "But I don't see any guards... Did they all go to eat?"
"Are you playing house?" Xi Yan said irritably, "How could we possibly remove everything just because it's time to eat?"
This is about guarding the Great Gate of a nation; who would dare abandon their post?
That could cost you your head!
"Then why don't you think they're here?"
How should I know?
Xi Yan rolled his eyes at Usopp. Did this guy really think he was some kind of all-knowing prophet?
Who Knows why all the guards here have disappeared.
"Something's not right." Nico Robin frowned, looked around, and said, "It's too quiet."
Zou, as described by Luo, is a very xenophobic country.
So here's the question: wouldn't such a xenophobic country send people to guard its borders?
This is clearly impossible.
So Nicole Robin felt something was very wrong.
"Could something have happened here?" After Nico Robin's reminder, Xi Yan also sensed that something was wrong.
"Could it be... that Nami and the others killed everyone here?"
Are you kidding me?
Usopp looked at Xi Yan in shock and said, "Nami and the others have this ability?"
This is a country, not a pirate crew!
It's impossible to defeat so many people with just Nami and her few companions.
"Aren't you underestimating Nami a bit?" Xi Yan glanced at Usopp and said, "Nami's Cloud Cloud Fruit has the power to destroy a country, do you believe it?"
"Does Nami possess such strength?"
Kin'emon looked at Xi Yan in astonishment. Did that seemingly frail woman actually possess the power to destroy a country?
Is it true or not?
"Don't underestimate Nami." Xi Yan reached out and patted Little Merry on his shoulder, then said, "She now has the ability to change the climate of a country. If she wanted, she could destroy a country with natural disasters."
Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, snow, ice...
These are all things created by the Cloud Cloud Fruit's power.
It can be said that Nami can create all sorts of devastating natural disasters if she wants to.
As for the strongmen of this country?
Sanji will handle the strong Sanji; Nami only needs to use the power of her Devil Fruit to create a sufficiently powerful natural disaster.
"Now that you mention it..." Usopp scratched his head and said, "Nami actually seems pretty good."
"Otherwise, why do you think I said the Cloud Cloud Fruit is the most suitable Devil Fruit for Nami?" Xi Yan rolled his eyes at Usopp.
If the Cloud Cloud Fruit were in the hands of someone who didn't understand anything, they might just make a cloud to play with, or at most, make it rain.
But it's a different story when it's in Nami's hands.
This girl's weather knowledge is more than enough to allow her to modify all sorts of weather conditions.
It's fair to say that the Cloud Cloud Fruit was made for someone like Nami.
"A Devil Fruit ability can indeed be more powerful if it's placed in the right person," Law said.
Just like the Op-Op Fruit, one can never learn the ultimate surgery without sufficient medical knowledge.
Then, as if remembering something, he frowned and continued, "However... with Bepo and the others around, Nami and the others shouldn't have made a fatal enemy of this country..."
Logically speaking, even if the Black Leg tribe clashed with the Mink Tribe, they should have been able to back down under Bepo's intervention.
At the very least... it won't escalate to the point of national annihilation.
But it was so quiet here that he couldn't help but think about it.
'Could it be... that Bepo and the others couldn't stop Nami either?'
If that's the case, things will get complicated.
