One Piece: The Half-Blood Ninja Who Hides on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 404 White Dragon

Chapter 404 White Dragon

"I've finally left Fishman Island," Brook said, looking back at the island with reluctance. "I'm so reluctant to leave."

"Me too."

Sanji also looked reluctant to leave; he was also very sad to part with those beautiful girls from Fishman Island!

Damn it, his paradise, his dream!

"Then you can stay, you nosebleed idiot," Zoro said calmly.

"What did you say, green algae head?!"

"You bastard, who are you calling 'green algae head'?!"

"bump!"

"Ping-Pong Player Soldier."

"Ah... here we go again..."

Seeing the two start fighting again, the others shook their heads helplessly, then turned to look at the Fishman Island that was getting further and further away, their expressions becoming somewhat melancholy.

"I wonder when we'll come next time," Melly said, resting her chin on her hand.

"yes"

Usopp nodded, wondering when he would be able to visit such a dreamlike place again.

"Alright everyone, let's change the mood." Nami clapped her hands and said, "After leaving Fishman Island, we'll be crossing the dark seas again, and there won't be any safe places for us to hide then."

"So... everyone, perk up!"

"profound!"

Those who understood Nami nodded and then began to try to adjust their state.

Just as Nami said, the upcoming operation is not safe, so they need to be on their guard.

"Alright, now it's my turn," Franky said, carrying several huge pieces of driftwood.

After saying that, he raised his hand and threw the driftwood out.

"What did you throw out?" Usopp asked curiously.

"This is super buoyant driftwood," Franky said with a smile. "With these things, our pirate ship can gradually rise to the surface."

"Is this really necessary?" Mei asked doubtfully. "Wouldn't it be easier to just have Xi Yan use water escape techniques to take us up there?"

Wouldn't that be faster, and we wouldn't need to worry about certain special things that exist in the ocean?

"You should always try more things," Franky laughed. "Besides... using Water Release techniques would take away a lot of the fun."

While Water Release: Water Release is indeed very fast, it also deprives them of the opportunity to view the underwater scenery, so let's use this instead.

Upon hearing this, Mei lowered her head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."

Let's take it slow and treat it as a unique adventure.

"By the way, Xiyan."

Nico Robin seemed to remember something and looked at west Yan curiously, asking, "What did King Neptune just say to you?"

"It's nothing," west Yan said. "It's just that there was a bomb in the treasure we sent to BIG MOM before. It's not a big deal."

The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

Usopp: ? ? ?

Usopp: !!

"Bomb...bomb...bomb?!"

Looking at the composed west Yan, Usopp said incredulously, "Hey, hey, hey, west Yan, are you serious?"

Chopper, somewhat exasperated, exclaimed, "Are you kidding me?!"

Why was there a bomb in the treasure given to Big Mom?

Isn't this provoking the Four Emperors?!

Are you out of your mind?!

"Of course I'm not joking," west Yan said. "That's exactly what Uncle Neptune told me."

"Wait, why would that old man put a bomb in the treasure?" Usopp said, somewhat frantically.

This is outrageous!

Listening to Usopp's words, west Yan stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe it's because of the poison that was thrown in before, so he put some bombs inside to prevent thieves."

"Using bombs to deter thieves?"

Franky wore a complicated expression, clearly not expecting the other party to do this.

That's too ruthless.

"It's over...we're completely finished..."

Chopper and Usopp lay side by side on the ground, crying, "Provoking a Yonko crew like this... we'll definitely be hunted down."

The thought of such a terrifying thing made both of them burst into tears.

Nami snorted and said, "Hmph, this is the consequence of stealing my treasure!"

Usopp: ? ? ?

Usopp looked at Nami with a puzzled expression. Was she still concerned about treasure at a time like this?

No, Nami, just how much do you love money?

Chopper looked up and said, "Hey... Xiyan, if the Four Emperors are killed in the explosion, will we face a terrifying pursuit from their crews?"

"If that happens, being hunted down is certain, but..." west Yan stroked his chin and said, "I don't think the bomb can kill the Four Emperors."

Upon hearing this, Chopper was stunned.

Then, he asked, puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

Bombs are incredibly dangerous; how could they possibly not kill someone if they exploded at close range?

That's a bomb!

"You haven't seen the Four Emperors with your own eyes, so you have no idea what kind of monsters they are," west Yan said. "Cannons... guns... bombs... these things don't have much effect on the Four Emperors."

After saying that, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides... I don't think Uncle Neptune's bombs are that powerful. Don't forget, they're in his treasure vault!"

If the power is too great, it could blow up the Dragon Palace's treasury... or even the Dragon Palace itself!

Therefore, west Yan doesn't think Uncle Neptune would drop a bomb with much power.

"That's true," Brooke nodded and said, "After all, it's King Neptune's own territory."

If the bomb is really powerful, it might blow their own people into the air as well, so west Yan's guess is very likely.

"So it can't be killed by the explosion, that's good." Chopper breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as BGl·MOM isn't killed, there's room for maneuver.

"Even if we don't die from the explosion, it's still a provocation!" Usopp yelled in frustration. "We'll still be hunted down!"

Being chased by the Four Emperors... just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!

"Have you forgotten that Luffy already provoked Big Mom?"

Usopp:

Seeing Nico Robin calmly utter those words, Usopp was completely dumbfounded.

Yes, they've already provoked BIG MOM, so one more or one less time doesn't make much difference.

"What should we do..."

"We're doomed, we're going to be killed by the Four Emperors!"

"Luffy..."

"Even if she doesn't come looking for me, I'll still go find her," Luffy said, adjusting his hat. "I'll beat her to a pulp and then make Fishman Island my own territory!"

It's too dangerous to leave Fishman Island to someone as capricious as him, so let's leave it to him!

Seeing that Luffy was doing the same thing, Chopper and Usopp resigned themselves to their fate and lay down on the ground, not moving at all.

"You two, cheer up," Mary said.

"Huh?!"

Usopp and Chopper were stunned to see that Merry no longer showed any fear.

"Merry, aren't you scared?"

"I was scared at first, but then I realized we're not weak either, so I wasn't afraid anymore," Mary said. "Besides... being scared is useless."

Upon hearing this, Usopp and Chopper were immediately rendered speechless.

Even Merry is like this.

"That's true... then we're not afraid anymore!"

"Exactly!"

"Awoo!"

Encouraged, Usopp and Chopper stood up and began to howl at the sky.

Seeing this, west Yan shook his head. It wasn't that he wasn't afraid; he was truly at his wit's end.

"Is it alright if I leave this place to you for now?" Nami said. "I'm going to take a shower first."

"no problem."

Franky gave a thumbs up and said, "Anyway, we don't need to record the pointers now, so it doesn't matter whether you're here or not."

Perona asked in confusion, "Don't we need to ride the ocean current anymore?"

They came to Fishman Island by descending the ocean current, so why didn't they need to go up?

"Of course we need it," Nami nodded and said, "but we've only just left Fishman Island, so we won't encounter an upwelling current so soon."

After saying that, Nami paused for a moment, then continued, "Don't worry, I'll be out before I encounter the rising ocean current."

After saying that, Nami walked towards the cabin without looking back.

Seeing this, Brook and Sanji exchanged a glance, and then let out a strange "heh heh" sound.

As if sensing something, Nami calmly glanced at the two of them before releasing a small dark cloud above the cabin.

A moment later—

"boom!!"

"scare!!"

Seeing the two guys lying on the deck near the cabin door, smoking, Chopper was so scared he bristled.

What's wrong now?

How did they suddenly get struck by lightning?

"Ignore them," Perona said with a look of disdain.

It was obvious that Perona understood why Nami did what she did.

"Hey everyone, let's catch some deep-sea fish to eat!" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth. "Sanji will cook us some deep-sea fish dishes!"

"Deep-sea cuisine, you know."

"Yes!"

Luffy nodded and said, "We were in a bit of a rush when we went, so we didn't have time to catch a deep-sea fish to try. We can't miss out this time!"

"Deep-sea fish..."

Staring at the pitch-black sea outside, Mary said, "I didn't see any deep-sea fish either."

"Maybe it's because we're relatively close to Fishman Island," Usopp said. "We should be able to find it once we're further away from Fishman Island."

They've only been away from Fishman Island for a short time, so it's normal that they don't see many deep-sea fish.

Then Usopp said, "Perfect timing, I can use this time to make a super-sized fishhook!"

"Is it for catching deep-sea fish?!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.

"Of course!"

Usopp gave a thumbs-up and said, "The fishhooks I make can definitely catch deep-sea fish!"

After saying that, Usopp turned and walked to the cabin, where he took out some tools.

Then he started fiddling with things on the deck.

A moment later—

"Clang clang clang!"

Holding up the giant fishhook, Usopp grinned and said, "Usopp-brand Super Deep-Sea Fishhook, manufactured!"

"profound!!"

Seeing the two little ones exclaim in surprise, Usopp immediately smiled even more broadly.

Then, he walked up to Luffy with the fishing hook and said, "That's enough, Luffy."

"We're now out of the radiation zone of Fishman Island," Xi Yan said, looking up at the giant deep-sea fish swimming overhead. "There are quite a few large sea fish here too."

"Where is it? Where is it?"

Luffy moved closer to Xiyan, squinting as he tried to look at the sea ahead, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see the deep-sea fish that Xiyan had mentioned.

"It's too dark, it's normal that you can't see it," west Yan said. "But it's swimming towards us."

As he spoke, west Yan approached Zoro to the side, looked up at the sea, and said, "Look, that's it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge deep-sea fish appeared above the Sunny, its size exceeding 100 meters.

"This looks pretty good," Zoro said, looking up. "Coat it in flour, fry it, and sprinkle it with salt; it should be a great accompaniment."

"Gurgle..."

"Fry them and then sprinkle them with salt," Luffy said, drooling. "They'd taste amazing!"

"I think that one is pretty good too."

Usopp pointed to another huge eel and said, "Making that into unagi (grilled eel) would be delicious, wouldn't it?"

"Grilled eel... glug."

Mei swallowed unconsciously, then said, "It tastes so good."

"Right, hahaha?"

Upon receiving Merry's affirmation, Usopp immediately burst into laughter.

"I think that one's pretty good too," Luffy said. "It would taste amazing with some mayonnaise on it!"

Which one are you referring to?

"That's it!" Luffy pointed to a strange sea fish with the face of an old man.

Usopp:

Zoro:

Merry:

Looking at the strange-looking fish, the three of them shook their heads in unison and said, "Let's forget about that one..."

"This one doesn't look appetizing at all," Usopp complained. "It looks like an old man..."

He didn't even know if it counted as a fish.

"yes."

Luffy scratched his head and said, "Then just pick any one. Sanji can make it really delicious anyway."

After saying that, Luffy launched an attack without hesitation.

"Second gear!"

"Rubber Jet Pistol!"

"bump!"

"Huh?!"

Usopp was dumbfounded when he saw the old fish being knocked down by Luffy with a single punch.

"You still want to eat that one, huh!" Usopp roared, opening his shark mouth.

"Quick, Usopp, grab it with the fishing hook!" Luffy said, "Otherwise it'll get away."

"I understand, don't rush me."

Although he had a bit of a headache, since Luffy had already defeated the opponent, he had no choice but to bring him back.

With that thought in mind, Usopp picked up the fishing hook and shot it out with his slingshot.

"Ultimate Kill - Fishing Star!"

"Whoosh"

"Click"

"Hmph, looking at the deep-sea fish perfectly caught on the hook, Usopp's lips curled up and he said, "I'm still as good as ever."

With his superior sniping skills, deep-sea fish are a piece of cake. "Quick, pull it back!" Luffy said, "I'm starving."

"Pull it back..." Usopp's lips twitched. "This guy is as big as our pirate ship, how are we going to pull it?"

"Then I'll do it!"

Luffy snatched the rope from Usopp's hand, intending to pull the giant deep-sea fish back.

But before he could exert any force, he discovered that a deep-sea fish even larger than the deep-sea fish had appeared behind it.

"Click"

He swallowed the whole fish in one bite!

"Huh?!"

Seeing this, Luffy was completely dumbfounded.

"It's being used as bait."

"Oh no, there's an even bigger one behind us!" Melly exclaimed, pointing to the enormous deep-sea fish that had appeared behind them.

"Click"

"Isn't this fish a bit too big?!"

Looking at the enormous deep-sea fish that had swallowed the fish in front of it, Usopp's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Those eyes are almost as big as our pirate ship!"

"So what?" Luffy gripped the rope tightly, straining as he said, "It's all food anyway!"

"Rubber Tug-of-War!"

"Hey, stop right there!"

After noticing the pirate ship start to rock, Usopp was grateful he had grabbed Luffy's hand and said, "Making the pirate ship like this will cause trouble!"

"Then what do you suggest we do? I want to eat it!"

"Just chop it down, that'll be enough," Zoro said casually.

After saying that, Zoro quickly rushed to the side of the pirate ship and launched an attack on the giant deep-sea fish without hesitation.

"One-Sword Style: Three Hundred and Sixty Troubles of Wind!"

"Clang!"

"bump!"

With a single blow, the enormous deep-sea fish lost consciousness!

"profound!"

"Well done, Zoro!"

Upon hearing Luffy's praise, Zoro smiled slightly and said, "Now, let's pull it up."

Such a huge deep-sea fish...it must taste amazing!

It's perfect for pairing with drinks!

"profound!"

"Pull it up..."

Usopp's lips twitched. "What's wrong with this?"

Their two eyeballs together are bigger than their pirate ship, how can that be?

"It's not like we have to pull it up," Sanji said calmly as he walked over, smoking a cigarette. "Going out and cutting off a piece of meat will do the same thing."

After all, the other party was very large, so there was no need to bring the whole thing to the surface of the sea.

"Then let's go out and cut it open," Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.

Then, he turned to Xi Yan and continued, "west Yan, use that technique. We need to go out and cut some meat."

"no problem."

west Yan nodded, then took out a special resin and released the Dance of Swimming Fish on the group.

After finishing this task, west Yan said, "Let's go, cut off more meat."

"Any extras can be stored in the sealing scroll."

These deep-sea fish are not usually seen, so storing more of them is not a problem.

"profound!"

Upon hearing west Yan's words, the group nodded, then laughed and rushed out of the pirate ship, heading towards the deep-sea fish at an extremely fast speed.

"Speaking of which..." Zoro, holding his weapon, stroked his chin and said, "Why do I feel like our pirate ship is descending?"

Is it just my imagination?

"It's bound to go down," west Yan said helplessly. "How could it not go down while dragging such a huge fish?"

This fish is more than ten times the size of their pirate ship. How could they not descend under such circumstances?

"Then let's get rid of this guy quickly," Zoro said.

Let's not let this giant sea fish actually drag us back to Fishman Island.

"it is good."

west Yan nodded, then said, "Sanji, which spot is the best?"

Sanji, who was observing the sea fish, pointed to several parts of the deep-sea fish and indicated that they should cut those parts.

west Yan and the others nodded upon hearing this, and then swam towards their target area without hesitation.

Soon, through their combined efforts, they successfully obtained several enormous pieces of deep-sea fish meat.

After using the bubbles to put all of these things into the sealing scroll, Xiyan said, "This should be enough to eat, right? Let's get some more and drag them back to the ship." Sanji said, "We'll eat the ones in the scroll when we get back to the surface."

west Yan thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, Xiyan and Zoro swam together toward the belly of the deep-sea fish.

Luffy, his eyes shining, looked up and exclaimed, "Hey, Sanji, isn't that a giant deep-sea serpent?!"

"I want to eat that too!"

"A giant sea serpent?"

Sanji was stunned for a moment when he heard Luffy's words, and then subconsciously looked up at the high place.

"A white, deep-sea serpent?"

Are there really such creatures in the ocean?

"Can you do it?"

"Of course," Sanji nodded and said.

There is no ingredient in this world that he cannot cook!

"Then after west Yan and the other two return, we'll go catch the sea serpents!"

"profound!"

"I never expected to find such a terrifying giant deep-sea serpent here." Usopp, on the pirate ship, subconsciously swallowed and said, "Won't it attack us?"

If the sea serpents were to attack them... they could destroy the pirate ship in an instant!

"Probably not," Mary said. "After all, we haven't provoked it."

Something's not right!

Nico Robin's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "This isn't a sea serpent!"

"Then what is this?"

"This is the legendary White Dragon!" Nico Robin said, her face grim. "It's said to be a huge white vortex resembling a dragon that suddenly appeared from the seabed!"

"It is said that ships swept into such currents will later be discovered in very distant waters."

"And those on board... none survived!!"

Upon hearing this, Usopp's face immediately turned green.

"Is the current really that dangerous?!" Usopp exclaimed in alarm. "Is it really safe here?"

Are they going to get involved, you bastard!

Just then, Nami ran out of the cabin and shouted, "Everyone, we have to get away from that whirlpool as soon as possible, or we'll be swept away!"

If a pirate ship were swept away by such a terrifying current... it would be destroyed!

Thinking of this, Nami's eyes turned somewhat frightened.

"Quickly, the navigator has spoken! Change course!" Usopp shouted.

"But Luffy and the others are still outside."

"Oh right, those idiots are still outside!" Usopp realized, then rushed to the side in a frantic voice, shouting, "Hey, you bunch of idiots, come back here!"

"what?"

Luffy, who was discussing eating sea snakes with Sanji, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked up in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Why did they suddenly bring them back?

The deep-sea fish hasn't been processed yet.

"Something seems off," Sanji said, frowning.

"What's wrong?"

"That thing doesn't seem like a sea serpent to me," Sanji said, staring at the object high above. "It looks more like..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt an incredibly terrifying pulling force, and his body was then uncontrollably thrown towards the distant white vortex.

Luffy is the same.

Sanji: !!!

Luffy: !!!

"Hey, what the hell is this?!" the two shouted.

Why is there such a huge suction force, you bastard!

Xi Yan, who also sensed something was wrong, grabbed Zoro and crawled out from the belly of the deep-sea fish, and then felt the pulling force.

"Such a strong suction force..." Zoro frowned and asked, "Where is it coming from?"

"It must be because of that white deep-sea vortex," he said, frowning as he looked at west Yan to the side. "Is it really that unlucky?"

How do you know this is a deep-sea vortex?

"Without any sign of life, what else could it be but a deep-sea vortex?" west Yan said irritably.

After saying that, west Yan casually cut the rope connecting the deep-sea fish, then pulled Zoro out and planned to return to the pirate ship as quickly as possible.

But after rushing a short distance, he saw the figures of Sanji and Luffy, those two idiots, in the distance.

"Wait, why are they near the vortex?"

The people of Xiyan were numb as they watched those two idiots struggling.

Don't they know to run when they see danger?

Those two idiots!

"You mean Luffy?"

"Yes, those two idiots are about to enter... well, they've already been swept into the vortex," west Yan said, with a headache.

"Then hurry and save them," Zoro said anxiously.

Although everyone possesses the ninjutsu given to them by Xiyan, it may not be useful when facing the power of nature. "I know."

west Yan created a shadow clone and said, "I will go and bring them back."

After saying that, west Yan's true form instantly disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, Xi Yan's clone, looking utterly exasperated, dragged Zoro back to the pirate ship.

"Why are only the two of you back?" Franky asked, dumbfounded. "Where are Luffy and Sanji?"

Why didn't I see those two idiots?

"They were taken away," west Yan said.

"ha?!"

Everyone else was dumbfounded when they heard west Yan's words.

"What do you mean by 'they were swept away'?"

"It means exactly what it says," west Yan said. "But don't worry, my main body has already gone to find them."

Upon hearing west Yan's words, the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Since west Yan's true form has already gone to pursue, there's no problem.

Then Perona said, "So what do we do now?"

"Should we wait for them where we are?"

"Of course not," west Yan shook his head and said, "Waiting along the way would easily lead to getting separated, so we'll follow them too!"

Nami thought for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Xiyan, your Water Release technique can bring us out of this ocean current, right?"

"certainly!"

"Let's go!" Nami shouted, "Let's go into this current too!"

"profound!"

west Yan nodded, then quickly went to the bow of the ship and used ninjutsu.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Om Mani Padme Hum"

The next moment, an enormous water dragon appeared beside the pirate ship and swallowed the Thousand Sunny whole.

Then, it resolutely plunged into the enormous deep-sea current.

"Everyone, hold on tight!"

"ah!!!"
