Chapter 325 Shattered Illusions, Tears Sliding from the Corners of Her Eyes
"I'll keep an eye out for Devil Fruits on the black market for you later," Shakky said. "If there's a suitable ability, I'll buy it for you."
It would be even better if it were a Logia-type Devil Fruit, since such a fruit allows the user to become elemental, thus enhancing their ability to survive!
"No problem." west Yan nodded and said, "It would be even better if there was a Devil Fruit suitable for Merry."
Xia Qi was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then said with some surprise, "Isn't this Cloud Fruit for her to eat?"
She thought this natural ability was for Merry to eat, but it turns out it wasn't?
"No, this Devil Fruit was prepared by Nami," west Yan explained. "Her strength is also very weak, but her compatibility with the Cloud-Cloud Fruit is much higher."
"Why do you say that?" Xia Qi raised an eyebrow.
"Because her usual attack method is to use the Weather Stick to create thunderstorms to strike people," west Yan explained. "But if the Weather Stick is destroyed, she becomes a lamb to the slaughter, so this ability suits her better."
"Is that so?"
Recalling the information she had gathered about the little thief cat, Xia Qi nodded and said, "It seems that's really the case."
That little girl seems to be more suited to this Devil Fruit than Merry.
Then, Xia Qi said, "In that case... I'll keep an eye out for the black market."
"If I find a suitable one, I'll buy it for Meli."
This time, west Yan didn't stand on ceremony with Xia Qi and nodded in acceptance of her proposal.
"If possible, it would be best if it were a nature-based one," west Yan said.
While it's true that Haki can suppress the elemental transformations of nature-based beings, not everyone possesses Haki, right?
"Natural beings aren't so easy to encounter," Shakky said, shaking her head.
She knew that Logia-type Devil Fruits were better at protecting themselves, but the problem was... there weren't many of these!
west Yan was aware of this issue, so he didn't insist.
"Then let's see how it goes," west Yan said.
"Um."
Xia Qi nodded and then said, "I will take care of all these things for you within six months, and then I will let you know to come here to collect the money."
"If there are any white Den Den Mushi at that time, I'll give them to you as well."
"Just go at your pace, I'm not in a hurry either," west Yan said.
west Yan knew that dealing with these things was not an easy task, so he naturally wouldn't urge Xia Qi.
Besides... it would be two years before they resumed their journey, so there was no rush.
Xia Qi nodded upon hearing this, indicating that she understood.
After lighting a cigarette, Shakky took a satisfying drag and then said, "By the way... how did you manage to get away from the World Government?"
"They actually managed to make them think you were really dead..."
"I escaped by faking my death," west Yan said.
"suspended animation?"
"Hmm, feigning death."
west Yan nodded and said, "I used this method to successfully convince Kizaru and the others that I was dead."
"That's why the world government publishes newspapers like that."
"I see...."
?
Seeing that west Yan didn't seem inclined to explain further, Xia Qi asked again.
After all... that's their secret!
As a friend, she naturally wouldn't pry into the matter.
"By the way, does Uncle Rayleigh know how to deal with the Knights of God?" west Yan said, "I've been fighting them for almost a day and a night, but I still can't kill them."
"That ability that seems to grant immortality...."
"Yes."
"When you meet Rayleigh, ask him," Shakky said, tapping her cigarette ash. "He might know something."
The Roger Pirates had a direct conflict with the Knights of God, so... they might know how to deal with those people.
"Uncle Rayleigh, ya:: "
Recalling Uncle Rayleigh's old face, west Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
"I'll look for him when I get back."
"You want to learn how to be domineering from him?" Xia Qi raised an eyebrow.
"Um."
west Yan nodded and said, "Uncle Rayleigh is an expert in this field after all, so it's good to learn more from him."
"Hmm...that's true." Xia Qi nodded.
Although west Yan's talent is indeed quite extraordinary, it is not an easy thing for him to comprehend a higher level of domineering aura.
So... it's not a bad idea to learn from Rayleigh.
As for whether west Yan can be taught well...
Rayleigh is a big shot on the high seas, so teaching west Yan some Haki techniques shouldn't be a problem.
Then, Shakky said with some emotion, "If only you had Conqueror's Haki, then you could..."
"Yes, I do."
Xia Qi: ? ? ?
Xia Qi, who was interrupted, was stunned for a moment, then looked at west Yan with a surprised expression and said, "You kid have Conqueror's Haki?"
"Yes, I have."
Shakky paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "You're not trying to tell me that you awakened Conqueror's Haki in Mary Geoise, are you?"
"That's right," west Yan said with a smile.
Seeing the smile on west Yan's face, Xia Qi was immediately rendered speechless.
Not only did they plunder the treasures of so many Celestial Dragons, they also gained a reputation that was enough to shock the world.
Then... he awakened Conqueror's Haki?
This guy made a killing!
After a moment of silence, Xia Qi said, "You've really given me another surprise."
No wonder she has her eye on this little guy!
"Actually, I didn't expect to awaken Conqueror's Haki," west Yan said. "It's a pleasant surprise."
"Then let's learn from that guy Rayleigh," Shakky said. "Let's try to master all of his Haki techniques!"
Since this kid has Conqueror's Haki, then... he is qualified to learn Conqueror's Haki Entanglement!
Whether or not west Yan can learn it depends on his own talent and Rayleigh's teaching ability.
"That's for sure." west Yan nodded and said that if he could learn Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, he would be able to reach the level of a Yonko.
Of course, the development of ninjutsu should not be neglected.
After all... he really wanted to unlock the Wood Release ability!
If he could learn Wood Release, he would have a chance to further develop his Mangekyou Sharingan, so this was something he couldn't neglect.
As for whether we can manage the workload...
Don't be ridiculous. With his special eye techniques and shadow clone technique, why would he need to be afraid of cultivation?
How can someone who's cheating be so self-righteous?
Thinking of this, west Yan chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Qi asked west Yan curiously.
Why does this kid seem like he's not thinking anything good?
"It's nothing."
west Yan shook his head and then said, "By the way, Sister Xia Qi, is it okay to just leave those things piled up down there?"
"Do you need me to process them in batches using a roll?"
"Can I use this reel?" Xia Qi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Uh...no way." west Yan shook his head and said.
He hasn't yet developed a sealing scroll that ordinary people can use, so it's unusable.
"That settles it then." Xia Qi rolled her eyes at west Yan and said, "If I can't even use it, what's the point of using a scroll?"
"I'm right here."
"Don't you have to go back?" Shakky said. "I can't just let you stay here for six months because of this."
Wouldn't that waste west Yan's cultivation time?
So Shakky doesn't intend to do that.
Seeing that Xi Yan was about to say something, Xia Qi said, "Alright, you don't need to worry about this. Just leave the safety to your sister, just like she said before. If she can't even handle this, then she might as well quit."
"Alright then," west Yan nodded.
Then, west Yan picked up the snakeskin bag next to him and said, "Since there's nothing more for me to do here, I'll head back now."
More than ten days have passed, and Hancock is probably getting impatient, so it's better to go back sooner rather than later.
"Then let's go back early," Shakky said. "Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if Hancock saw the latest issue of the newspaper."
She has confirmed that west Yan is still alive, but Hancock has not!
So... let's go back to Amazon Lily as soon as possible.
Upon hearing Xia Qi's words, Xi Yan's expression changed slightly, and he said, "The latest issue of the newspaper...?"
Indeed, if Hancock were to see the latest issue of the newspaper, she would definitely come after her.
Thinking of this, west Yan immediately stood up, picked up the bag, and walked out.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong!"
"Wait a moment!"
"What's wrong?"
west Yan paused at the door, then turned back to Xia Qi with a puzzled look and asked, "Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
Xia Qi did not answer immediately, but bent down and took out a large pot of wine.
After placing the wine jug on the table, Xia Qi patted the jug and said, "Take this jug of wine."
Upon seeing what was inside the wine jug, west Yan fell silent.
Then he said, "Is this for Uncle Ridley?"
"What should I bring him?" Xia Qi said speechlessly, "This is for you."
What's the point of giving Rayleigh this kind of wine now, since that guy won't be back anytime soon? So she never intended for Xiyan to bring Rayleigh this kind of wine in the first place.
"For me?"
west Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "Sister Xia Qi, you..."
Xia Qi didn't give Huanxi a chance to finish speaking, interrupting her directly: "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Would your sister harm you?"
This is a high-end product worth 100 million Berries per pot; she doesn't give it away to just anyone.
"Okay... then."
Seeing that Xia Qi had said so, west Yan stopped being coy and went back to put the wine jug into the sealing scroll.
"That's more like it~" Shakky said with a smile, "You'll thank me sooner or later."
"Actually, I don't really need it," west Yan muttered.
Xia Qi rolled her eyes upon hearing this, then said, "Alright, enough nonsense, let's go."
"See you later, Xiaqi."
"Um."
After finishing her sentence, Xia Qi seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, take your Den Den Mushi."
"Oh, here it comes!"
After casually placing the Den Den Mushi into his pocket, west Yan activated his transformation technique, turning himself into someone else's appearance, and then darted away with a whoosh.
Watching Xi Yan flee in disarray, Xia Qi pouted and said, "Young people these days are so thin-skinned."
Then, with a smile, Xia Qi picked up the cigarette that had been on the table, took a drag, and said:
"I hope these two young people will like the wedding gift I prepared for them~"
After smiling, Xia Qi picked up the Den Den Mushi on the table and dialed the number of one of her subordinates.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Kaka~"
"Hello, is this the BOSS?"
"Yes, it's me."
Xia Qi said calmly, "There are blackfish to deal with. Bring a few people to my place."
"Yes, Boss!"
"Kaka~"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Qi turned to look out the window, squinted, and began to think.
In order to get this batch of goods out safely, she had to be careful!
Meanwhile, the new world.
On an island called Lycovia, Katakuri had just led his men in a fierce clash with the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates. In the end... Katakuri defeated the opposing captain with an overwhelming advantage and took over this island famous for its sweets!
"call....

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Galette glanced at her subordinates and asked, "Have the wounded been treated?"
"It's all taken care of."
"That's fine then," Jia Lei nodded.
After this expedition, my men should be much stronger now.
This is a good thing for their nation.
Then Garrett said, "Hey, do you have the latest newspaper?"
"The latest newspaper?"
"Yes," Garrett nodded. "If you have any, bring me a copy."
There's been so much news from Xiyan these past few days; I wonder how he's doing now.
"this...

The subordinate hesitated, clearly not wanting to give it to Garette.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Garrett frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Does my word no longer carry weight?"
"No, it's just that Lord Katakuri instructed that I couldn't bring you the newspaper, so..."
Upon hearing this, Garette immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Why won't Katakuri let me read the newspaper?" Galette murmured.
Could it be... could it be that something happened to Xiyan?
Thinking of this, Garrett immediately said, "Get me the newspaper right now, hurry up!"
"But.....
"bump!"
Without giving the other party a chance to waste words, Garrett slammed the pistol at her waist onto the table.
His expression seemed to say, "If you dare to say another word, I'll shoot you dead!"
Seeing this, the subordinate remained silent for a moment, then steeled himself and went out to get Garrett a newspaper.
As for whether Lord Katakuri will punish him afterwards...: We'll have to wait and see. Anyway, it's better than being beaten to death now.
"Lady Galette, here's the newspaper you requested..."
"
After snatching the newspaper, Garrett opened it and glanced at it before her legs gave way and she slumped onto the stool.
The blatant headline was telling her again that the man she had chosen... was already dead....
A tear slid down her cheek, and Garrett said with some pain, "Xiyan..."

At that moment, all her illusions shattered.
"Why....

Katakuri, who had arrived near Galette, sighed helplessly and said, "Why did you do this to yourself?"
He didn't want his sister to see the news because he was afraid of hurting her, but in the end... sigh.
Upon hearing her brother's voice, Galette immediately looked up and asked, "Katakuri-nii, is Saien really dead?"
Looking at Galette, whose eyes were filled with tears, Katakuri paused for a moment before saying, "To be honest, I don't know."
"have no idea?"
"Yes." Katakuri nodded and said, "Normally, having this photo means he is indeed dead."
"But... this kid is immortal, so I can't confirm whether the World Government deliberately leaked this information."
Although the latter statement had a somewhat comforting tone, Katakuri's words were not entirely without merit.
After all... west Yan is immortal!
"It's good that there's a possibility of survival," Garrett said with a sigh of relief.
Looking at Galette, whose hope had been rekindled, Katakuri hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.
"Katakuri-nii-san, I know what you want to say, but please don't," Galette said.
Katakuri paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Having hope is always better than having no hope, isn't it?
Just then, a subordinate ran in and said, "Lady Galette..."
"Ah, Lord Katakuri is here too."
"What happened?" Garrett asked.
"The Blue Wolf Pirates have arrived on this island," his subordinate reported. "Looks like they're here to cause us trouble."
Katakuri frowned upon hearing this. They actually came looking for trouble. Could they be a group of very powerful pirates?
However, he quickly seemed to realize something and gave a speechless look.
The next moment, Galette asked, "Are those pirates very strong?"
"No, the captain only has a bounty of 150 million."
"One hundred and fifty million..."
After speaking, Galette paused for a moment, then turned to look at Katakuri and said, "Katakuri-nii, leave them to me."
She's in a really bad mood right now, so... these guys can just consider themselves unlucky!
"it is good."
Katakuri, understanding Galette's thoughts, did not refuse but agreed immediately.
Then, he turned and walked outside, saying, "Let's go, I'll cover you."
Although the other party's bounty is less than 200 million Berries, he is still a pirate who has fought his way up, so he has to keep an eye on him.
"Yes, Katakuri-nii-san!!"
