Chapter 161 9 Snake Island
Chapter 161 Nine Snake Island
Three days later, on the sea not far from Amazon Lily.
"Whoosh~"
A giant bear paw-shaped cloud of gas carried Xi Yan and his companions as they flew through the air at an extremely fast speed.
Any obstacle encountered on the road will be bounced away by this gas, even if a sea king rushes over to tear it apart, it will be bounced away.
Inside this enormous gas, Luffy and Merry, exhausted and frightened, were fast asleep, clinging to west Yan's body.
But west Yan, who was being held by the two of them, remained conscious throughout.
He couldn't sleep until he was sure where they would end up.
"We've been flying for three days and three nights... ::" west Yan frowned and asked, "Where exactly is our destination?"
"And what exactly does this 'Bear' guy mean?"
At this moment, west Yan was filled with doubt.
He didn't know why the other party had photographed them away from the Sabaody Archipelago.
Judging from the current situation, it's clear that Kuma doesn't intend to kill them. After all, if he really wanted to kill them, he could have simply launched them in front of the Admiral; there was no need to make them fly so far.
So, does that mean the other party wanted to save them?
But why is that?
What is the reason for the other party doing this?
Could it be that someone in the Straw Hat Pirates has some kind of special relationship with this bear?
If that's the case... then why did they try to kill them last time at the Devil's Triangle sails?
west Yan didn't understand, he really didn't understand.
"etc......
'
west Yan suddenly remembered something: before they left the Devil's Triangle, it seemed that Kuma had helped Luffy bounce off his injuries.
If they really intended to kill them, there was absolutely no need for them to do so.
In addition, the other party said those strange things several times, as if they wanted to let them off the hook...::
There's a problem, definitely a problem!!
"I must ask you properly next time we meet."
Just then, west Yan noticed the rapidly approaching island and also realized that the bear paw gas was falling rapidly.
"Have we finally arrived at our destination?" west Yan thought with delight.
Three days... a full three days!
Luffy and his buddy are sleeping soundly, while I haven't closed my eyes for three days!
As for why west Yan didn't pop the bubble halfway through?
He needs to know the final destination, whether it's at sea or on an island, so he can roughly assess the situation of his other companions.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the bear paw landed on the ground, blasting a bear paw-shaped crater into the ground.
The moment Xi Yan touched the ground, he grabbed the two guys clinging to him and jumped off.
"Um?"
"What's wrong? Is it dawn yet?"
"Sanji, I want to eat!"
west Yan: ...
Listening to Luffy and Merry's dazed words, west Yan's lips twitched, and he said, "Have you forgotten what happened?"
As they were talking, west Yan threw Luffy to the ground.
"Bang!"
Luffy, who had just fallen, immediately perked up.
"west Yan!!"
The moment Luffy saw Xiyan, the scene from three days ago immediately flashed through his mind.
"Zoro and the others... were taken away one after another..."
"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any danger to his life," west Yan reassured him.
As he spoke, west Yan pointed to the bear paw on the ground and said, "The force generated at the moment of impact is not strong enough to kill anyone."
west Yan could sense that the power was very gentle, as if...: ...the bear was afraid they would get hurt, so it did this on purpose.
This made west Yan even more curious. Why would that guy Xiong do this?
At that moment, the image of the bear at its final moments flashed through west Yan's mind.
(This is the last time we'll see each other... Goodbye!)
Why would he say something like that?
"Is there no danger to his life?!"
Luffy breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that nothing had happened.
He was genuinely afraid that his companions would die inexplicably, which would truly break him.
"So... was that big guy saving us?" Mei looked up at west Yan and asked.
"Based on the current situation, yes."
Why?
"I don't know either." west Yan shook his head and said, "Let's ask him next time we meet."
He was also eager to figure out the other party's purpose.
"Is the bear saving us...?"
Luffy paused for a moment, then adjusted his hat and said, "So he was a good person after all..."
"Most likely, yes." Xi Yan nodded and said, "Last time in the Devil's Triangle, the other side probably let us go on purpose."
Otherwise, the opponent could have easily sent Zoro and the others flying into the sea and drowning them!
But the other party didn't do that...:::: Therefore, west Yan judged that the other party probably never intended to kill from the beginning!
"I see... I understand."
He didn't know what the other person's purpose was, but since they were a good person, he would forgive them.
After thinking for a moment, Luffy took out Rayleigh's Vivre Card and examined it in his palm.
Soon, the life card began to move slowly.
"Look, this Vivre Card is actually moving!"
"Idiot, of course it will move!" west Yan said irritably. "Otherwise, how would we find the ship?"
Luffy didn't pay any attention, he just chuckled to himself.
With this, they could reunite, how could he not be happy?
As for Zoro and the others?
When Tree 1 was treating Hachi, Sanji distributed his Vivre Card.
"Gulu: "
"Gurgle...."
Two stomach growls sounded, and both Merry and Luffy clutched their stomachs at the same time.
I'm hungry...
"Click~"
Just then, the sound of a tree branch breaking caught the attention of the three.
They instinctively turned around and immediately saw a huge wild boar emerge, glaring at them menacingly.
"Meat!"
The moment Luffy saw the other person, he immediately showed an expression of extreme excitement.
This is practically free meat!
Wild boar: ? ? ?
The boar looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression. Why wasn't this human afraid of him at all?
The next moment, its expression changed.
Because...:....Three humans not far away gave him greedy smiles, as if they wanted to devour him!
This discovery instilled in it an instinctive sense of fear.
But before he could escape, Luffy's fist flew up and killed the wild boar with a single punch.
"Tsk, what's so special about this?"
"Wild game delivered to our doorstep?" west Yan asked.
He had originally planned to take out the sea king meat that had been stored in the sealed scroll for three days and process it, but then a wild boar came to him. He was really lucky.
"Quick, Xiyan, let's grill it and eat it!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.
"Okay, I'll take care of it first."
After saying that, west Yan picked up the wild boar and walked to the side, taking out his grass sword to begin processing it.
After dealing with it, I used Water Release: Water Release to rinse it off completely, getting the thing thoroughly clean.
After returning to the two of them, they cut down some more trees and started a fire to barbecue.
"Merry, give me the seasoning."
"Oh~"
After handing the barbecue seasonings to west Yan, Xiao Meili rested her chin on her hand and sat on the wooden stake with Luffy, quietly waiting for west Yan to cook the meat.
Soon, as time went by, the aroma of the meat gradually wafted out.
"Ah~"
"It smells so good!"
Luffy has drool in his mouth.
The next moment, Luffy reached out his hand towards the wild boar meat, intending to take a bite first.
"Snap!"
west Yan slapped Luffy's hand, pushing it aside, and said, "What's the rush? It's not ripe yet."
After saying that, west Yan paused for a moment, then pointed at Mei Li and said, "Your stomach can eat raw food without any problems."
But Merry might not be able to do it.
We don't know where they are right now, or what will happen to them. What if they get diarrhea from eating it?
Luffy blinked, glanced at Merry, and then nodded obediently, saying, "Understood."
That's true, after all, Mary is still too young.
"Alright, let's discuss what to do next." west Yan said while turning the grill, "We've been flying for about three days and three nights, and the others should have been for about the same amount of time."
"Three days and three nights?"
Meili was stunned. Had they really been flying for so long?
No wonder I feel so hungry.
Luffy replied without hesitation, "Of course, I'll go back to Sabaody Archipelago and reunite with my crew!"
"I think everyone thinks the same way."
With this Life Card in their hands, they will reunite sooner or later!
And Luffy believes that this time... won't be too far off!
"Alright, I'll go explore the deeper parts of this island later," west Yan said. "If there are people on this island, we'll try to get a boat."
"What would you do with a ship?" Melly asked, puzzled. "I could summon the Thousand Sunny."
She has the ability to summon a ship at any time, so why would she need to build a ship here?
Luffy looked at Xiyan with some confusion, wondering why he would say that.
"Have you forgotten what we asked Uncle Rayleigh to do?" Xi Yan said irritably. "If Uncle Rayleigh has already finished the coating, wouldn't summoning the ship here be pointless?"
Why?
west Yan:
Looking at these two guys whose eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge, west Yan covered his forehead.
"Bubble will explode if it leaves the environment of the Sabaody Archipelago, have you forgotten?" west Yan said helplessly.
If the bubbles are placed directly underwater, they will not burst due to changes in humidity.
But this isn't underwater!
"Can't we just do it later?" Luffy said, scratching his head.
"You really have no respect for other people's hard work..."
After shaking his head, west Yan said, "The coating can indeed be redone, but do you think we have the time?"
"What if we're spotted by the navy after we arrive at Sabaody Archipelago?"
"Do you think... the Navy will give us another three days to apply the coating?"
"Next time, they might just send three admirals to gang up on us!"
This time, the Navy deployed two admirals at once, but still failed to capture them... This is tantamount to slapping the Navy in the face again!
Next time, the other side will definitely send an even more terrifying force to encircle and annihilate them!
When that time comes... will Big Bear still come to help?
This is an unknown.
"I see...:::::" Luffy scratched his head and said, "Then we really can't bring our ship over here."
Xiao Meili understood west Yan's meaning, so she didn't bring it up again.
"Actually, there's another advantage to not using our ship," west Yan said.
"What are the benefits?"
"At least on the way back, we won't be targeted by anyone else," west Yan said. "Otherwise, the Navy might send Aokiji to ambush the three of us."
He wasn't afraid of the other naval forces; he could easily toss their ships away using water-based techniques.
But Aokiji is different. This guy can freeze the ocean!
Against someone like Aokiji, his Water Release technique was almost useless.
"Aokiji..."
?
Luffy frowned at the thought of that guy who played with ice.
When he first encountered that guy, he almost got killed by him.
If he could, he wouldn't want to run into that guy again.
"In the end, my strength is still too weak..." Little Mei said, covering her face. "I can't help at all." "It's okay, take your time."
west Yan rubbed the little guy's head and comforted him, "No one is born incredibly powerful, right?"
This little guy is only a few years old.
Even counting from when Luffy and his crew obtained the Going Merry, it has only been a few months.
How powerful could such a little guy be?
"I...I'll work hard to become stronger too!"
"good!"
west Yan smiled, then picked up the huge wild boar and placed it on the wooden frame that had been prepared in advance.
Then use a grass sword to cut the wild boar meat open, making it easier to eat.
"Come on, eat!" west Yan waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want to do, you have to eat your fill first."
Listening to west Yan's words, Luffy, who was thinking about something, nodded and opened his mouth to bite!
west Yan:
This way of eating is quite unrestrained.
After shaking his head, west Yan handed one of the smaller pieces to Mei Li and said, "Eat it."
"Eat more, it'll help you grow taller!"
Upon hearing this, Mary's eyes lit up immediately.
"I want to grow taller!!"
After making the declaration, Meili also started eating quickly.
With the three of them working together, the meat on the wooden rack was disappearing rapidly.
"Ah~"
"I'm full~"
Lying on the ground, Luffy said with a satisfied expression, "Xiyan, the meat you grilled is so delicious..."
"Yeah yeah."
Merry, who was also lying on the ground, uttered the same sentiment.
"I'm also very good at wilderness survival," west Yan said with a smile.
Perhaps his cooking skills aren't up to Sanji's level, but at least the food he makes tastes pretty good.
Look, these two guys are eating quite well...
"Um?"
Looking at Luffy's gradually shrinking belly, a question mark popped up above west Yan's head.
"No, do you digest food that quickly?"
Most of the wild boar meat went into this guy's mouth, his belly was round and full, and now... it's already digested?
"what?"
Luffy asked, "Is there a problem?"
His digestion speed has always been like this.
Luffy, being simple-minded, didn't see anything wrong with this.
west Yan: .....
Looking at Luffy's innocent face, west Yan fell into deep thought.
Maybe... this guy's stomach is monstrous too?
After thinking about it carefully, he concluded that Luffy must have mastered some kind of special ability that allows him to quickly absorb the energy from food.
This is a good thing.
"Isn't this great? Hahahaha."
Luffy, who had stood up, laughed and said, "This won't delay our mission."
"Yes, that's true."
After glancing around, west Yan said, "You two wait for me in the forest. I'll go deeper in and take a look."
"Why aren't we going together?" Luffy complained.
west Yan actually plans to go on an adventure alone?!
"What if there's danger?" west Yan said, "You should at least think about Mei Li."
Who knows if they were directly transported to the New World by the bear?
If they are currently in the territory of one of the Four Emperors...::. Entering rashly would definitely result in an attack.
He has the Mangekyou Sharingan and can't be killed, but Luffy and Merry can't.
"Merry::"
Luffy glanced at Merry, who was still lying on the ground, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I understand."
west Yan's explanation successfully convinced Luffy.
As someone who cares deeply about his crewmates, Luffy doesn't want anything to happen to Merry.
After all... now he only has these two companions left by his side.
Mary blinked, then got up from the ground and said, "Actually, I..."
"Alright, Meili, you two wait for me here," Xiyan said.
Little Mary just went through a life-or-death experience and must have been severely frightened.
So... let her stay in a safe place.
He'll come back to pick up the two guys after he's thoroughly investigated the island.
Of course, it would be even better if we could get a boat directly.
Then we can head straight to the Sabaody Archipelago and meet up with our friends!
"clear!"
west Yan nodded, then used his Instantaneous Movement Technique to disappear.
After west Yan left, Luffy sat down on a rock to rest.
"I hope Luffy and Nami can reach Sabaody Archipelago safely..." Merry whispered.
"Don't worry, Nami and the others aren't the type to die easily," Luffy grinned, "They'll definitely do it!"
His companions also possessed the same resilience as cockroaches, and he believed that everyone could safely reach the Sabaody Archipelago!
"That's good." Meili breathed a sigh of relief.
She truly hoped that all her companions would arrive safely at Sabaody Archipelago so they could all go to the New World together!
I wonder how they are doing now?
They have Xiyan here, but the others don't.
Thinking of this, a hint of worry appeared in Mei Li's eyes.
Perhaps sensing Merry's mood, Luffy jumped up and said, "Merry, I'll treat you to something good to eat!"
"Oh?"
"What is it?"
"Merry said curiously."
Luffy chuckled, ran ahead, picked up several oddly colored mushrooms, and turned to Merry, saying, "Merry, these are laughing mushrooms!"
"After eating this, you won't be sad anymore!"
After saying that, Luffy took a bite himself and then burst into happy laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
"My mood... my mood immediately improved!" Luffy said with a big laugh.
Mei Li's eyes lit up. Could there really be something this amazing in the world?
Thinking of this, Merry immediately went to Luffy's side, took the laughing mushroom from his hand, and took a bite.
Then....
"Hahahahaha!"
"Luffy, I don't think I'm sad anymore, hahahahaha!"
"I told you so, didn't I? Hahahaha!"
The place was immediately filled with the laughter of the two people.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Meanwhile, on the other side...
In the calm waters near Amazon Lily, a pirate ship flying the Amazon Lily flag is floating on the sea.
Powered by a foreign vessel, the ship was steadily making its way towards Snake Island.
With two enormous venomous sea serpents escorting them, no sea king dared to cause trouble.
"This time it's been a really bumper harvest."
"Hahaha, that's right!"
"I wonder when the next voyage will be."
"That depends on what Lady Snake Princess thinks."
"That's true."
Although the spoils of war didn't belong entirely to them, even a small share would be enough for them to live a carefree life for a long time.
Boa Sandersonia glanced in the direction of the door, then looked at Boa Hancock and said, "Big sister,"
We agreed to the Navy's call-up but didn't go to Naval Headquarters... Is that really okay?
"So what?"
"If we don't go, will the World Government revoke the title of 'Onee-sama'?" Boa Sandersonia asked with a worried expression.
If they lose their title as Shichibukai, they will no longer be able to legally plunder.
"No, they won't take away my title~" Hancock said with a smile. "After all... I'm just too beautiful."
"No matter what you do, you will be forgiven!"
"profound!"
"Big Sister!!"
My older sister is right. No matter what she does, she will be forgiven!
Because... she's just so beautiful!
