"Give it to me now?"
west Yan accepted the permanent record pointer with some surprise, clearly not expecting the other party to give it to him so easily.
Isn't she afraid that she'll just abandon her?
"Yes," Hancock nodded.
Even if the other party doesn't remove the mark for her, she's willing to give it to them now.
west Yan paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
After casually placing the permanent record pointer into his ninja tool bag, west Yan said, "Come on, I'll perform the surgery on you now." As he spoke, west Yan laid the scroll out on the ground and then clapped his hands together.
"bump"
A wisp of white smoke drifted by, and an operating table appeared on the ground, along with the surgical instruments placed on its shelf.
"I never thought I'd need the things I prepared back then..."
Looking at these tools, west Yan's feelings were somewhat complicated.
"Huh?!!"
"What's going on?"
Sandasonia stared in shock at the thing that had appeared out of nowhere.
How did the other party manage to do that?
Is he a Devil Fruit user?
"How did you do that?" Grandma asked in shock.
As she spoke, Grandma Za glanced at the scroll on the ground.
If I'm not mistaken... the thing came out of there.
"Ah, it's just a special ability of ninjas," west Yan said. "It's used to store items."
"I also plan to use this method to put all the purchased supplies in there, so they won't spoil easily."
It can be said that the Ninjutsu Scroll is a very practical sealing technique.
If it weren't for this, he probably wouldn't have been able to solve Luffy's food problem, after all... that guy's appetite is truly terrifying!!
When he ate his fill, his appetite was more enormous than the combined appetites of the rest of them.
"A ninja can actually do something like this?" Grandma asked incredulously.
Spatial capabilities?
In that case, this kid could rely on this ability to store a large amount of supplies.
If the capacity is truly enormous... even in the event of war, he alone could handle the supply needs of an entire fleet!
"The power of ninjas is beyond your imagination," west Yan said with a chuckle.
This time, Grandma didn't say anything, she just nodded.
"This kid fought Hancock and came out completely unharmed..."
This is enough to demonstrate just how powerful the opponent is.
Therefore, Grandma Zha wouldn't doubt west Yan's words; ninjas... must be extremely powerful!
"Oh, right," the old woman said, as if she had just remembered something, "Are you from Wano Country?"
As she spoke, Grandma's expression became somewhat serious.
If the other party has some connection with Kaido... then it will be a bit difficult to handle.
"Why.
west Yan rubbed his forehead and said, "It's that problem again..."
There are quite a lot of people interested in this question.
Mother-in-law: ? ? ?
What does that mean?
"Have many people asked you this question?" Sandasonia asked curiously.
"Yes, there are quite a few."
west Yan said somewhat helplessly, "Many people are curious whether I am from Wano Country or whether I have any connection with Kaido."
Now he could understand these people's thoughts, after all... the influence of the Four Emperors was indeed considerable.
At this moment, the conversation between Galette and Kizaru flashed through west Yan's mind.
The mere fact that Galette's mother's name is enough to make people think twice is the mark of a Yonko!
So it's understandable that his mother-in-law has this concern.
"Kaido... Kaido?!"
Sandasonia's expression changed, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.
Isn't that the name of one of the Four Emperors?
Could it be... that this man named Xiyan has some connection with Kaido?
"Yes, that's right, it's that one of the Four Emperors." west Yan shrugged and said, "But unfortunately, I have absolutely no connection with him."
"Before Xiaqi explained it to me, I didn't even know he was one of the Four Emperors."
So... just how strong are the Four Emperors?
He was genuinely curious about the level of power these Four Emperors of the New World had reached.
"No...?"
Grandma nodded, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
If it has nothing to do with the guy, then there's no need to worry too much.
Ultimately, Amazon Lily doesn't want to get involved with the Four Emperors or anything like that.
After all... Hancock is now a Shichibukai!
"Don't worry, I didn't come to your Nine Snake Island with any special purpose," west Yan said. "In the end, our arrival here was just a coincidence."
If it weren't for that guy Xiong deliberately bringing the three of them here, they wouldn't have ended up in this place.
After all—this place is located in the doldrums!
"Speaking of which... how did you escape the Admiral's pursuit?" Sandersonia asked curiously. "I remember that provoking the Celestial Dragons would attract the attention of the Marine Admirals, right?"
Someone like west Yan, who killed a Celestial Dragon... will definitely attract the attention of a Marine Admiral!
It's just that we don't know which general will be the one to surround and suppress him.
"Ah, it's true that we were being chased by naval admirals." west Yan said while fiddling with his tools, "The two naval admirals gave us quite a hard time."
"Wait...wait a minute?!"
Grandma looked at west Yan in disbelief and said, "You mean, the navy sent two admirals to surround and annihilate you?"
"Yes."
My mother-in-law: !!!
Grandma's eyes bulged uncontrollably upon receiving an affirmative answer, her face filled with shock.
Did she... or did she underestimate the opponent's strength?
"Two great generals..." Sandasonia swallowed hard and said, "You guys are too amazing."
"It's truly shocking."
Mary Gorud also looked at west Yan with a shocked expression.
Just how strong is this man to have managed to escape alive from two naval admirals?
Now she could understand what her older sister meant when she said "the other party is unkillable".
This man's strength far exceeded her expectations!
"So strong!"
Looking at Xiyan holding surgical instruments, Hancock's eyes seemed to sparkle.
"Haha, it's not as exaggerated as you guys think." west Yan put down his tools and said, "I only held off Kizaru for a while, I didn't defeat him."
"Even so, it's still quite astonishing," Grandma Za said.
The fact that someone could hold off a Marine Admiral single-handedly without dying speaks volumes about their strength.
After all... that's the Navy Headquarters' top fighting force!!
"Who is the other admiral?"
Upon hearing this, west Yan's smile gradually disappeared. He then took a deep breath and said, "Akainu."
"Akainu..."
"Um."
west Yan said, "I fought with this guy for a while, and then Moria suddenly appeared and helped me hold him off for a period of time, which is why I had the opportunity to find Luffy."
"Moria?"
Grandma was taken aback for a moment, then asked with some surprise, "He would actually help you?"
That guy isn't a Shichibukai, so why would a Shichibukai choose to help the Straw Hat Pirates?
"Hmm...something happened during this time." west Yan nodded and said, "Anyway...because of his appearance,
Only then did I have a chance to get rid of Akainu.
Otherwise, Luffy might have been swatted away by Kuma before he even arrived.
After shaking his head, west Yan continued, "The situation is similar on Kizaru's side, because of Uncle Rayleigh's appearance..."
I've gotten rid of Kizaru.
"Rayleigh..."
"Yes."
west Yan nodded and said, "Uncle Rayleigh is very strong, he should be able to hold off Kizaru for a while."
After all... he's the vice-captain of the Pirate King!
"What good luck!" Marigold remarked.
"Good luck...maybe."
"After getting rid of the two admirals, you encountered Bartholomew Kuma," Granny Za said.
"Bear?"
Hancock was taken aback. How did this have to do with another Shichibukai?
"Yes, it's Xiong," west Yan said. "Because of his Devil Fruit ability, we were able to successfully escape the Navy's pursuit."
After speaking, west Yan paused for a moment, then said with a complicated expression, "I wonder how that guy is doing now. Will he be punished by the Navy for letting them go?"
"Akainu heard Luffy shout at that time, and given that Luffy is a Marine Admiral, his Observation Haki must be very strong."
Thinking of this, west Yan sighed silently, wondering how the other person was doing now.
"Since he dared to do this, he must have been prepared for the consequences," Grandma Za said. "Don't underestimate a man's determination."
Hearing his mother-in-law's words, west Yan paused for a moment, then nodded and said nothing more.
Just then, Hancock said, "Saiyan, what's the purpose of your request for the Marine Headquarters' Permanent Log Pose... is it to participate in this war?"
"Huh?!!"
Hearing Hancock's words, Marigold and Sandersonia were dumbfounded.
Does the other side intend to participate in such a terrible war?
"Yes." Xi Yan nodded and said, "Fire Fist Ace, who is about to be publicly executed, is my captain's brother, so we plan to participate in this war to rescue him."
Although this war was extremely terrible, it... should not frighten them!!
"So there's this kind of relationship...?"
Sandasonia exclaimed in surprise.
That Fire Fist Ace is actually Straw Hat Luffy's brother?
No wonder they were so eager to get the Permanent Log Pose from Marine Headquarters.
"Two people dared to participate in such a war... no wonder he's a madman who killed a Celestial Dragon," Sandersonia murmured to himself.
Hancock ignored Sandersonia's thoughts and looked at Xiyan, saying, "Then you should be able to see Bartholomew Kuma at Marine Headquarters."
"Really!"
west Yan's face lit up with surprise. "He's really going to Marine Headquarters?"
"Hmm." Hancock nodded. "I'll most likely go."
The World Government has issued a call to arms for the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Kuma, being the most obedient of the Seven Warlords, will most likely participate in this war.
Therefore, her judgment should be correct.
"Is that so?"
west Yan laughed. If that's the case, then he'll have a chance to have a good chat with Xiong.
Thinking of this, west Yan became somewhat impatient.
west Yan patted the operating table beside him and said, "Lie down here, I'll treat the marks on your back..."
Before west Yan could finish speaking, he noticed that Hancock had taken off his coat and then obediently lay down on the operating table.
west Yan:
Isn't this efficiency a bit too high?
"What's wrong?"
Hancock, her face slightly flushed, asked without looking up, "What's the problem, Your Majesty?"
"No problem, obedient patients are actually better," west Yan said, shaking his head.
He then took out an anesthetic, intending to inject it into Hancock to prevent her from suffering.
"Yes, this kind of surgery... local anesthesia is sufficient."
Thinking of this, west Yan took out the corresponding item.
"What is this?" Sandasonia asked curiously.
"Anesthesia," west Yan explained. "I plan to give Hancock local anesthesia so she won't feel pain during the surgery."
After saying that, west Yan glanced at Hancock and continued, "Is everything alright?"
"Yes, I believe you," Hancock said without looking up.
Although she had never had surgery or used anesthesia, she was willing to believe in Xiyan.
Believe me...
After a moment of silence, west Yan said, "Don't worry, I will completely remove the mark from your back."
"This is my promise to you!"
"A promise...?"
Hancock, her face slightly flushed, said while lying on the operating table, "I understand."
Mother-in-law: ? ? ?
Grandma looked at Hancock with a puzzled expression. The more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong. What was wrong with Hancock today?
"Grandma, please go out first," west Yan said. "Don't let anyone disturb me before the surgery is over, okay?"
Once the surgery begins, it absolutely cannot be stopped, so... he didn't want anyone to come and disturb him at this time.
"Okay, I understand."
Grandma nodded, then called to Sandasonia and Marigold, "Let's go, let's leave here first."
In fact, even if west Yan hadn't said anything, she would have stayed outside with the Mary and Gruud sisters.
After all... the mark on Hancock's back cannot be seen by anyone else!
The Mary and Gruud sisters nodded, then bowed to west Yan together and said, "Then we'll leave it to you."
Don't worry.
"Um."
Afterwards, the two sisters left with their grandmother, looking back every few steps.
Seeing this, west Yan smiled and said, "Your two younger sisters really care about you."
"After all, we're sisters," Hancock said.
"Yes, that's true."
west Yan nodded, then poured the anesthetic into the syringe and looked at Hancock, saying, "It might hurt a little."
"Just bear with it."
"Don't worry, I'm not just a pretty face."
"it is good."
This time, west Yan didn't waste any words and immediately began the operation.
Then, west Yan walked to a seat and sat down, crossed his legs and silently counted down, waiting for the anesthetic to take effect.
"Why don't we start?" Hancock asked, glancing at Xiyan with a puzzled look.
Why is the other person sitting there with their legs crossed?
"Local anesthesia doesn't work instantly," west Yan explained. "So you need to wait a while."
"Be patient."
"Yes, I understand," Hancock nodded.
Although she didn't know what was going on, since the other party had said so, she decided to be patient.
While west Yan was waiting for anesthesia, Grandma Za and the other two had already arrived at the stairs and sat down there.
Not only can you hear what's going on upstairs from here, but you can also effectively prevent others from going upstairs to disturb Xiyan.
"Grandma, where did you find them?" Marigold asked curiously.
"It wasn't me who found them," Granny Za said. "That boy in the straw hat came to the village because he accidentally ate the mushroom that grew on his body and was mistaken for one of the villagers and brought back to be disciplined."
"Merry came in with him around that time."
"Only Xiyan..."
At this point, Grandma paused for a moment, then said, "He came to me on his own initiative."
"initiative?"
Mary Gorud was somewhat surprised that the other party would actually take the initiative to seek out her mother-in-law.
"Hmm." Grandma nodded and said, "I guess... Xia Qi must have made him do it."
The thought of Xia Qi gave Grandma a headache.
That guy's personality isn't much better than Hancock's... wait!
In some ways, she's even worse than Hancock!
"Shakky..."
Marigold and Sandasonia exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter.
Perhaps... this is fate.
Seeing the two sisters laughing happily, a smile also appeared on Grandma's face.
"After today, the mountain in the hearts of these three girls will be removed."
Thinking of this, Grandma silently thanked Xiyan in her heart.
Meanwhile, the new world.
In the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Moby Dick was quietly floating on the sea.
Whitebeard himself sat silently in his seat, his expression very serious, as if he were waiting for something.
A moment later, Marco walked over from a distance, holding a white Den Den Mushi in his hand.
"Father, we've made contact with all the pirate crews under our command," Marco said, looking at Whitebeard. "They'll be meeting at the designated location soon."
As he spoke, Marco placed the white Den Den Mushi on the table.
This is a white Den Den Mushi they acquired at a high price. With this, even if the Navy wanted to eavesdrop, they wouldn't be able to get any intelligence.
This is also why the navy sends surveillance ships, because they cannot eavesdrop on any intelligence and can only rely on visual observation.
Whitebeard glanced at the white Den Den Mushi, then looked at Marco and said, "Have you confirmed the location of the naval surveillance ship?"
"We've located all the surveillance ships," Marco said. "They're in these areas."
As they spoke, Marco told Whitebeard about all 23 locations.
"Kuralala".
"Then let's sink them all!"
"profound!!"
Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, the crew members revealed bloodthirsty expressions.
Because... this order means war!
