Chapter 156 Timely Rescue, A Reliable Man!
"You idiot, what are you daydreaming about!"
west Yan, who had grabbed Galette as she rushed out, said, "Don't you know how to dodge a laser attack?!"
If he had been even a fraction slower, this guy would have had a hole punched through his body!
Kizaru's laser is no joke; its power is terrifying.
"I'm not that fast."
"And... I also believe you will save me."
In the end, a smile appeared on Garrett's face, and she didn't seem to regret her actions at all.
Why are you doing this to yourself...?
"west Yan, don't underestimate a woman's determination."
Galette, who had jumped out of Xiyan's arms, turned to look at Kizaru in the distance and said, "Come on, let's deal with this guy together."
Let's see if they can leave here alive, or... die here together!
west Yan sighed. It seemed there was no way to change this woman's mind.
Therefore, it will not be easy for him to leave this place smoothly.
Even if Melly uses reverse psychic abilities after arriving at her destination, he cannot simply abandon Galette and leave.
After all... this is a woman who was willing to face a Marine Admiral for him!
Thinking of this, west Yan said, "In that case..."
"Then let's give it a try."
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Galette's lips curled up, and then she summoned the butter, which condensed in her hands.
Although it's only her first time working with west Yan, she will give it her all!
"Have you... finished talking?"
Kizaru said, "Now that you've finished speaking, I'm going to make my move~"
Despite saying that, Kizaru attacked without waiting for their reply.
A flash of yellow light appeared, and Kizaru appeared in front of Xiyan, raising his long leg to strike.
"bump!!"
A powerful whip kick struck west Yan's hand; even with his domineering defense, he could still feel a terrifying force.
The next moment.
"Whoosh"
"boom!!"
Like a cannonball, west Yan flew out and crashed into a small hill in the distance, creating a large crater in the ground!
"west Yan!!"
"Do you even have the time to worry about others?"
Looking down at Galette, Kizaru didn't hesitate to raise his long leg and kick at her.
"Butter Flowing Wall!"
"puff"
"Varied..?!"
Seeing Kizaru easily break through her abilities, Galette's pupils immediately contracted.
Her Butter Flowing Wall was broken through by the opponent in an instant?!
Without a second thought, Galette immediately wrapped her arms with her domineering aura, preparing to forcefully block the attack.
"bump!"
An incredibly heavy blow slammed into Garette, sending her flying!
"Whoosh"
"boom!!"
It crashed not far from Xiyan, creating a large crater!
"Cough cough..."
Blood trickled down the corner of her mouth, and Galette's face turned pale.
The force of that kick was just too great... Her arm was throbbing, as if a bone had cracked!
"As expected of a Navy Admiral..." Galette said through gritted teeth.
If it weren't for her powerful defensive aura, her arm would probably be broken by now.
No, that's not right... It's not just the arms!
Without the power of a domineering defense, her internal organs might have been shattered!
"Whoosh"
With a flash of light, Kizaru appeared in front of Galette, raised his hand, and aimed it at her, intending to knock her unconscious with a laser.
Just then, a giant rock hand suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbed Galette, and then quickly contracted and returned underground.
The next moment...
"Whoosh"
"boom!!"
Kizaru's laser struck the spot where Galette had just been standing, making the crater even bigger!
"Oh"
"Wow, that's fast!"
After finishing his sentence, Kizaru glanced in the direction of Xiyan and said, "Earth Release techniques are really troublesome~"
west Yan merely sneered at this and did not respond to Huang Yuan's question.
He then threw a smoke grenade to obscure his view.
"Smoke bombs and stuff... they're ineffective against me," Kizaru said.
As he spoke, he had already reached west Yan's side, and with a long leg, he lashed out.
However, west Yan, who had prepared ninjutsu in advance, quickly burrowed underground and successfully dodged the attack.
Looking at the spot where west Yan had disappeared, Kizaru stroked his chin and said, "Hmm... Are you planning to go underground and waste my time?"
Although he wanted to leave with his men now,... in reality, delaying wouldn't do him any harm.
After all... this is considered their navy's territory!
After thinking for a while, Kizaru shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll just blast you out."
The sooner we take them down, the sooner we can go back and have some tea. Isn't that much more comfortable than staying here in the wind?
With that thought in mind, Kizaru quickly ascended into the air and launched an attack downwards.
"The Eight-Span Jewel!!"
"Da da da!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
A barrage of laser attacks bombarded the ground, blasting it open and advancing bit by bit towards where west Yan and his companion were!
For a Marine Admiral with advanced Observation Haki, capturing people underground... is far too easy!
"Tch, the destructive power of a Navy Admiral is truly astonishing," west Yan spat.
At this rate, it probably won't be long before they're both caught by the other side.
Thinking of this, west Yan slapped the ground again and activated the Earth Escape Technique to begin moving.
While performing the manipulation technique, west Yan asked, "Galeit, where is your brother?"
"Yes, my brother!"
Garette realized that if her brother were here, she wouldn't need to be afraid of the Marine Admiral!
Thinking of this, Garrett said excitedly, "My brother..."
She stopped speaking before she could finish.
"What's wrong?"
"I...I don't know if my brother is still there," Garrett said awkwardly.
"what?"
"You came to see me, didn't your brother know?"
"have no idea..
Garrett lowered her head and whispered, "I was so worried about you, and my brother's battle wasn't over yet, so... I came to find you myself."
west Yan covered his forehead, momentarily speechless.
He could almost imagine how much Katakuri hated him.
Not only did they kidnap his sister, but they also put her in such a dangerous situation... Next time they meet, won't they just start a fight?
While he did have thoughts of fighting the other party, this particular reason made things a bit...
For a moment, west Yan felt a bit of a headache.
"Perhaps my brother will think of coming here to find me," Garrett added.
After Katakuri realizes he's missing, he should be able to search for him everywhere.
Once he gets information about what the Straw Hat Pirates have done, he might come to Auction House Number One to look for them.
"Where were you before?" west Yan asked.
"That's where you fought that Kid."
"There..."
west Yan thought for a moment, that location is not close to here... Did Galette run all the way here?
It must have been really tough on her.
Looking at Jialete's expression, west Yan sighed silently.
Regardless, the other person's actions did indeed move him quite a bit.
Therefore, he was even more determined not to let the other party die here!
Thinking of this, west Yan thought to himself, "No, I have to find a way to get Galette to Katakuri's side."
Let them leave the island first, and we'll deal with the rest later.
As for myself—
After I deliver Galette to Katakuri, Merry and the others should summon me too.
"Can your earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows you to teleport us there?" Galette asked.
"no."
west Yan shook his head and said, "The Sabaody Archipelago is too special. Every small island is connected by bridges."
"To reach the other island, we need to rush out from underground."
"I don't think... Kizaru will give us that chance."
west Yan knew very well that someone of Kizaru's caliber must have mastered Observation Haki!
Moreover—it could even be advanced Observation Haki!
This is probably why the other party was able to detect the shadow clone.
Even if you launch a sneak attack from underground, you can't escape the enemy's detection!
In this way, it would be impossible for them to move to another island even if they wanted to.
Kizaru will definitely launch an attack the moment they show their faces!
"That's a really bad situation..." Garette said, frowning.
Although she wouldn't mind dying here with west Yan, if she could leave this place alive, who would want to die?
"I will definitely find a way to get you out of here," west Yan said.
Upon hearing this, Garrett immediately became excited.
"I told you, I..."
"Galette!" west Yan interrupted Galette, saying, "I'm a ninja. I have a way to escape from Kizaru. Trust me!"
Galette was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and the words caught in her throat.
After a moment, she gave a bitter smile and said, "So... I'm the one who's dragging you down...?"
She thought she could help west Yan by coming here, but... did she end up being a burden to west Yan instead?
Thinking of this, Garrett's expression became somewhat downcast.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"No!"
"Don't overthink it, Garrett. I'm not blaming you," west Yan said. "I'm still very happy that you came to save me."
"Really?"
"Um."
west Yan nodded and said, "Really."
"That's good....
Jialeite breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that Xiyan hadn't complained about her.
Thinking of this, Garrett's face regained its smile, and she said, "I'll listen to you."
Regardless, her feelings have been conveyed.
Even if she ultimately cannot escape, she will not regret it.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you die here!" west Yan said earnestly.
"profound!"
Just then, west Yan sensed something was wrong.
So... why isn't Kizaru continuing to use his laser Gatling gun?
Could it be that this guy has given up?
"What's wrong?" Garrett asked, puzzled.
"The noise above has stopped..."
Upon hearing this, Galette was taken aback, but then realized that the vibration above had indeed disappeared.
Does this mean that guy has left?
No... wait, west Yan killed three Celestial Dragons, how could a Marine Admiral leave so easily?
That guy must be thinking of a way to kill them both.
Thinking of this, Garrett said, "Be careful, he might have come up with some way to deal with us."
west Yan nodded in agreement and then said, "I'll go up and take a look first."
Upon hearing this, Galette immediately reached out and grabbed west Yan, saying firmly, "No, what if he's waiting for you up there?"
Who knows if that guy was deliberately baiting west Yan to go up and check the situation?
"I'm not stupid," west Yan said helplessly. "Of course I'll use a clone to check the situation."
"bump"
As they were talking, a shadow clone appeared beside west Yan, and then without hesitation, used Earth Escape Technique to leave.
"A clone..." Garrett exclaimed in shock, "You really know a lot..."
Lightning Release, Water Release, Warrior Release... and now they've added a clone technique... This guy is too amazing!
"It seems your Four Emperors' intelligence system isn't very good either."
Hearing west Yan's words, Jia Lei Te rolled her eyes and said, "We don't really care about the situation at the amusement park."
"So, all you know about me is that I'm a ninja, and that's all you know~"
"Hmm... no, not really." Garrett touched her nose and said, "Because your eyes are rather unusual, I suspect you might have a special bloodline."
"As for those escape techniques and such, they were all just my guesses."
Before meeting west Yan, she did some research, reading about ninjas and their stories.
And sure enough, it came in handy.
"You're quite honest," west Yan said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Hehe, because I don't want to lie to you."
At that moment, west Yan's expression changed slightly, and then he showed a look of surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"No wonder Kizaru didn't continue his attack on us; he was being held back..."
His shadow clone saw a familiar figure—it was Rayleigh, who had left earlier to collect mangrove resin!
The man was standing in front of Kizaru, blocking his way with a smile on his face.
"It seems I'll be able to leave this place smoothly this time..." west Yan thought to himself.
This man is the vice-captain of the Pirate King; blocking a Marine Admiral wouldn't be a problem for him!
But... I owe them a huge favor.
"I'm being blocked..." Garette frowned, then her face lit up with surprise. "Could it be my brother?"
If her brother came here, he wouldn't have any problem blocking the naval admiral.
"No..." west Yan shook his head and said, "Let's go, I'll take you upstairs to see the situation."
Galette looked puzzled. If it wasn't her brother... then who else could stop the Admiral?
However, she didn't say anything more, but obediently let west Yan pull her towards the ground.
"Oh"
"Within the mouth"
Looking at Rayleigh, who had blocked his way, Kizaru tilted his head slightly and said, "I didn't expect even the Pirate King's vice-captain to personally come to help the Straw Hat Pirates..."
"You...you're not planning to go back to sea, are you?"
"Spare me," Rayleigh laughed. "I'm an old man now, and I have no intention of making a comeback."
"So what do you mean now?"
"Ah, I just don't want to see some people bullying the weak," Rayleigh said.
Upon arriving here, he saw Kizaru launching an attack on the ground.
Somewhat curious, Rayleigh scanned the ground with his Observation Haki and immediately sensed the presence of Xiyan.
After thinking it over, I guessed that the other party might have stayed behind to cover the retreat, so I made a decisive move!
"You're quite the talker—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru raised the Ame-no-Murakumo sword in his hand and slashed it down at Rayleigh!
Rayleigh simply wrapped his Haki around his longsword and raised his hand to block Kizaru's slash.
"Clang!"
"Oh"
"As expected of the vice-captain of the Pirate King~"
Despite saying that, Kizaru showed no fear whatsoever.
After all... as a Marine Admiral, he had absolute confidence in his own strength!
Just then, Xiyan and Galette rose from underground, drawing the attention of Kizaru and Rayleigh. "Oh."
"So you finally dared to come out?" Kizaru narrowed his eyes and said, "Looks like this guy gave you a lot of confidence."
Upon hearing this, west Yan's lips curled up and he said, "Hehe, after all... Uncle is Hades Rayleigh."
Garette looked at Rayleigh with a complicated expression. She had been thinking of giving him a good beating when she got the chance, but...
Instead, they were saved by the other party?
For a moment, Garrett's feelings were quite complicated.
"Is this your little girlfriend, Xiyan?"
Before west Yan could finish speaking, Jia Lei Te nodded and said, "Mm!"
"You're right, I'm his fiancée!"
Rayleigh, that guy, has good taste. In that case... I guess I won't beat him up.
Hmm, maybe we'll need this guy to be a witness or something in the future!
"Good taste, haha."
"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you guys taking me a little too lightly?" Kizaru frowned and said, "You're just chatting away like this, completely oblivious to everyone else..."
What, are you treating him like he doesn't exist?
Thinking of this, a yellow light shone from Kizaru's body, and he planned to rush over and beat those two brats to a pulp.
However, just as he transformed into his elemental form, Rayleigh cleaved him in two with a single sword strike.
"Clang!"
"cut....
Kizaru glanced at Rayleigh and spat.
It seems a bit difficult to use elemental teleportation in front of this guy.
That makes sense. After all, this guy is the vice-captain of the Pirate King, so it's normal for him to possess advanced Observation Haki.
Using elemental transformation against such a person would be even more dangerous.
"Kizaru... bullying the weak isn't a good habit."
"The Navy arresting pirates, isn't that normal?" Kizaru, having stood up again, patted his pants and said.
"I don't see any problem with nipping evil in the bud."
Regardless of the circumstances, he needs to consider the issue from the navy's perspective.
And a kid like the Bloodline Ninja has extremely high talent; who knows if he will eventually grow to the level of the Four Emperors.
To avoid this from happening, taking the other party away from here is the best solution.
But Kizaru also knew that Rayleigh would never allow him to take the other party away.
So... he could only hope that Akainu would arrive in time.
"I wonder what Akainu's reaction will be when he sees Rayleigh, the Dark King..."
Don't get too excited and rush over to kill this old guy too.
Killing the Pirate King's vice-captain at this point... who knows if it might provoke the other members of Roger's crew.
It wouldn't be good if the other side pulled off a big move.
Thinking about this, Kizaru felt a terrible headache coming on.
Running into this old guy... I'm really unlucky!
