Dead or Alive! / Chaldea to the Rescue

Yuxian smiled wryly, but he didn't blame the Emperor Flower. He reached out and gently touched the Emperor Flower's head.

Yuxian doesn't blame others doesn't mean others should do the same.

"Emperor Flower!!!"

The children angrily shouted at the Emperor Flower, "What are you doing! We're all soaked! How annoying!"

The children, soaked to the bone, were unhappy and naturally gave the Emperor Flower a cold shoulder.

"I... I didn't mean to..." the Emperor Flower said, sounding aggrieved.

She didn't consider any of that; she just instinctively rushed over to Yuxian, and could only endure the children's scolding.

"Alright, alright, don't blame her." Yuxian quickly spoke up to help her out. "By the way, could you shrink a little? It's not very convenient like this."

After hearing Yuxian's request, the Emperor Flower nodded and immediately began to slowly shrink its size.

Although it is still enormous, its current size is more acceptable compared to its initial size.

As the Emperor Flower shrank, the seawater in Marineford slowly receded.

The scene became incredibly chaotic. If the battle between the pirates and the navy only made Marineford a mess, then the appearance of the Emperor Flower turned it into ruins.

Sengoku no longer had the strength to be angry; the appearance of the Emperor Flower had caused him to completely lose control of the situation.

He had seen giants before, but the Emperor Flower was clearly not a giant. No giant could grow to that size; it was completely beyond the category of enormous.

After the Emperor Flower shrank a bit, it immediately ran over and obediently squatted down next to Yuxian.

White Star looked at Yuxian curiously and asked, "Emperor Flower, is he your friend?"

"Oh dear!" Only when White Star spoke did the Emperor Flower remember that White Star was still there.

She quickly said, "He is the Master, the Master."

Then she introduced him to Yuxian: "Master, this is a new friend of mine, her name is White Star."

Yuxian knew that Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi, possessed a more beautiful appearance than Hancock.

He greeted White Star with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of the Emperor Flower."

The children looked at White Star with curiosity and said, "Your friend is so big too, Emperor Flower!"

To children, White Star is also a giant.

"Hello everyone!" White Star greeted everyone happily.

This time, she not only got rid of the annoying Vander Decken IX and saw the outside world, but also made so many new friends, which made her very happy.

The Emperor Flower is very well-behaved. Whenever she is by Yuxian's side, she is a well-behaved child with a smile on her face.

Although the children were unhappy that the Emperor Flower had soaked them, these were minor issues, and they had ways to solve them.

The battle at Marineford was interrupted once again by the interference of the Emperor Flower.

Everyone was still shaken by what had just happened.

One of them started to sneak away, preparing to leave this troublesome place before everyone else could recover.

Section 435, Chapter Sixteen: Dead or Alive!

"Hmph! I, Buggy, have no interest in playing this boring battle with you. I'm leaving now..."

Bucky the Buggy stealthily crouched low and moved slowly toward the outside of Marineford.

Bang!

A heavy figure crashed down in front of Buggy was so frightened that he fell to the ground on his butt and retreated backward on both hands and feet.

"Black... black... Blackbeard..."

Buggy knew very well about Blackbeard's fearsome Buggy, and he would never dare to challenge Blackbeard.

But Buggy soon noticed that Blackbeard was lying there motionless, as if he were dead.

He blinked, and suddenly became bolder.

Buggy stepped forward and gently kicked Blackbeard, discovering that Blackbeard had indeed lost consciousness.

"Hahaha! Lord Buggy is not afraid of a mere Blackbeard!"

Buggy stepped on Blackbeard, put his hands on his hips, and laughed loudly.

Before he could even chuckle twice, the sky suddenly seemed to darken.

Buggy turned around and saw Whitebeard standing right behind him.

With a speed that is beyond the reach of ordinary people, he instantly changed his expression, grabbed the Blackbeard from the ground and handed it to the Whitebeard with utmost respect.

"Buggy, want to come aboard my ship?" Whitebeard invited Buggy with a smile.

Buggy was taken aback by what he heard, and in his mind, he vividly imagined himself boarding Whitebeard's ship, becoming his confidant, then his Francis Drake, and finally conquering the New World, finding One Piece, and becoming the Pirate King.

By the time he came to his senses, the Whitebeard was long gone, far away.

Whitebeard, holding Blackbeard by the arm, shouted, "Kids, let's go!"

The Whitebeard Pirates had no reason to object. Ace had been rescued and Blackbeard had been captured. This outcome was exactly what they had expected. Why would they stay here for the New Year if they didn't leave now?

Splash, splash.

Working together, they used both their hands and feet to push the ship into the sea, boarded the pirate ship, and left.

"Let's go too."

Yuxian looked at the pale-faced Sengoku and knew that he was powerless to stop the pirates from leaving. There was no point in staying here anymore, so he led everyone away.

The Summit War ended.

Marineford was reduced to ruins; the navy suffered a crushing defeat this time.

Sengoku knew that everything was beyond repair. Not only was he unable to execute Ace, but he also caused the entire Marine Headquarters to be destroyed.

The most crucial point is that he didn't even know how he lost; he just lost inexplicably.

He was utterly despondent, knowing that this was the end of his career as Fleet Admiral, and he had no idea how he would be dealt with.

On the Golden Deer, Yuxian on the deck, drinking tea and chatting with Mash.

"Senior, is he alright?"

Mash glanced at Edward Teach, who was hanging on the mast, and looked a little worried.

She's just too kind.

Edward Teach made empty promises about giving Anna Asclepius her blood, and now that things have come to light, how could Anna possibly let him off the hook?

Being tied to a mast and swinging on a swing now is probably the best outcome; he should have known this would happen when he made those reckless promises.

The children were having a great time, pushing each other around without any regard for Edward Teach's feelings.

Edward Teach begged for mercy, but was met with a whipping from Anna's chain.

"Stop shouting! It's so noisy!"

Edward Teach immediately shut up and looked at Francis Drake Drake for help, but Drake was busy drinking and completely ignored him.

He then looked at Jeanne d'Arc; the Saintess was soft-hearted and might help him.

Jeanne d'Arc genuinely wanted to help him, but when she thought of Blackbeard's actions back in Chaldea, she ultimately didn't step forward to speak up for him.

In the end, Edward Teach could only look at Yuxian with tears in his eyes, pleading for Yuxian.

Yuxian leisurely sipped his tea, thinking, "How can you expect to get away with offending Anna?"

Fortunately, they were only on Drake's boat, and there were only a few kids swinging him around.

If this were in Chaldea, hehe, Anna would have many more people behind her, and given Blackbeard's Repulse in Chaldea, someone might come up with an even more satisfying way to punish her.

The Golden Deer sailed on the sea, a refreshing sea breeze blowing, and everyone chatted and laughed.

The Emperor Flower in the sea occasionally poked its head out to talk to Yuxian, while White Star swam with her in the sea. The two of them were too big to fit on the boat.

Yuxian Xian asked Drake, "Are you coming back to Chaldea with me, or will you continue your adventures here?"

The sea is their true home, Yuxian knows they are happy here, so he will respect their opinions.

Sure enough, Drake shook the bottle in his hand and casually tossed it into the sea.

She said, "We will continue our adventures here, Master. Don't worry, we will contact Chaldea every now and then to keep in touch."

Annie, Mary, Medea, Circe all decided to stay and help Drake.

After some hesitation, Asterius decided to stay. He loved it there, Circe and Medea took good care of him; he didn't want to leave them.

Anna and Musashi decided to go back with Yuxian; they had had enough of staying there.

When Asclepius heard that Chiron needed help, he prepared to return without saying a word, but Yuxian always felt that he was glancing at Anna out of the corner of his eye when he spoke.

Emperor Flower was naturally unwilling to leave Yuxian. Although the room in Chaldea was cramped and uncomfortable, she would rather make do with it than stay there, because her Master was there and she had many friends to talk to.

With the decision on whether to stay or leave made, the next step is to say goodbye.

The Emperor Flower bid farewell to White Star. Although reluctant, White Star still happily wished the Emperor Flower. She knew very well the loneliness of being alone and was genuinely happy for the Emperor Flower.

Kuina was reluctant to Musashi. They had been together for so many years, and suddenly having to leave her master left Kuina feeling somewhat lost.

Musashi patted her head and said with a smile, "You've grown up now, go and pursue your dreams."

Kuina wiped away her tears and nodded firmly, "I will definitely become the world's greatest Great Swordsman and I won't let my master down!"

And so Yuxian and his party disappeared into the sea and returned to Chaldea.

The Golden Deer continued its journey.

It seems someone has been forgotten...

Edward Teach's body swayed with the ship's movement, and even though the children were no longer there, no one put him down.

Dead or alive!

After Yuxian and his group left, a bounty poster drifted down onto the Golden Deer as a messenger seagull arrived.

A new bounty list has been released. Whose bounty has increased this time? What new stars will emerge?

Drake was flipping through the pages when he suddenly stopped, stunned.

Yuxian's profile picture was prominently featured in the list.

Bounty: 10 billion Berries.

Chapter 17, Section 436: The Shigure of Chaldea

Upon returning to Chaldea, Da Vinci appeared before Yuxian.

"Master returned very quickly this time!"

Yuxian couldn't help but complain in his heart, "You threw me into the middle of the battlefield. If you're not slow to come back, you won't be able to."

He scrutinized Da Vinci closely until Da Vinci became somewhat uncomfortable before finally asking, "Da Vinci-chan, have I offended you?"

"Oh dear, what are you saying, Master?" Da Vinci quickly denied it, patting her chest and saying, "Even if you had offended me, Master, with the magnanimity of a genius and beautiful girl like Da Vinci, I certainly wouldn't have taken it to heart."

Yuxian glanced at Da Vinci's chest and felt even more uneasy.

Such magnanimity... well, let's not dwell on it.

No new Singularity have emerged yet, and Yuxian has finally found some free time.

Asclepius contacted Chiron immediately; he was very concerned about his teacher's affairs, or rather, he was very concerned about the patient himself.

Moreover, his medical skills were learned from Chiron, and now even Chiron was having trouble with his patient. Asclepius had every reason to believe that this was an unprecedented challenge.
