Chapter 374 Otsutsuki - Xiyan? Luffy, surprised, so your surname is Otsutsuki!
"What's going on here?" Franky asked, puzzled. "Where did this axe come from?"
If he wasn't mistaken, the axe was aimed at the mermaid princess.
Could it be that someone wants to kill her?
"This was done by a guy named Vander Deiken," west Yan said. "He wanted to marry Bai Xing, but Bai Xing didn't like him, so he threw all sorts of things at her every day."
"There are still scumbags like this?" Franky exclaimed in surprise.
Isn't this a perfect example of "if you can't have it, destroy it"?
Sanji, on the other hand, just exploded.
"What did you say?!" Sanji exclaimed angrily, "How dare some bastard treat a lady like that?!"
"I'm going to kick him to death!"
How could any bastard dare to do such a thing... This person deserves to die!
"You're not the only one who wants to kill him," west Yan said. "We both want to too."
They've been attacked at least twenty times along the way, so... they really want to kill this troublemaking bastard!
Unfortunately... his location could not be found at all.
"Then kill him!"
"I can't find where they are," west Yan said helplessly.
"This guy is indeed hard to find," Jinbe said. "I've searched for him many times, but he's too cunning, so I can't find his location at all."
He also sympathized with Shirahoshi's plight, so after receiving a request from His Majesty Neptune, he led a group to find Vander.
Deakin.
Unfortunately, I can't find it...
"Damn it!" Sanji said irritably, "Don't let me catch him!"
If he catches that bastard, he'll absolutely kill him!
Upon hearing this, Jinbe sighed, then turned to Shirahoshi and said, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of danger?"
"Lord Xiyan and Lord Luffy said they would protect me, so I'm not afraid," Shirahoshi said with a smile.
"You actually believe them...?"
However, Jinbe felt relieved after thinking about what Xiyan had done.
Yes, even if Shirahoshi doesn't know Luffy, she'll know what Xiyan has done.
How could she possibly be afraid if someone like that said they would protect her?
"Yes, I trust them completely!" Bai Xing said with a smile.
"No, wait a minute!"
Dan floated down from the Thousand Sunny, looking at Jinbe with a shocked expression, and said, "Who were you talking about just now?"
"west Yan."
Jinbe pointed at Xiyan and said, "Didn't you hear our conversation just now?"
"No.
He was inside the ship researching coating technology, how could he possibly hear what was being said outside?
He just thought it was a bit noisy.
Then, Dan turned to Xiyan and said, "Are you the hero who caused chaos in Mary Geoise two years ago and saved your fellow fish-men, Otsutsuki Xiyan?!"
"It is indeed me." west Yan nodded, then said, "But forget about calling me a hero, just call me west Yan."
Unfortunately, these words had no effect on Dan.
"You're a true hero of Fishman Island!" Dan exclaimed excitedly as he approached Xiyan, grabbing his hand and saying, "Thank you for your righteous help!"
Looking at the excited Dan, a hint of helplessness flashed in west Yan's eyes; he knew this would happen.
However, this time west Yan didn't dwell on it and simply accepted Dan's gratitude.
"Leave the coating job on your pirate ship to me!" Dan patted his chest confidently and said, "I guarantee I'll get it done within two days!"
With his skills, he could have finished processing the Thousand Sunny in just over a day.
So... there's absolutely no problem entrusting it to him!
"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Dan."
You're too kind.
After saying that, Dan seemed to remember something and continued, "Don't worry, I'll keep your secret."
Dan smiled and nodded upon hearing this, then picked up his tools and left, clearly intending to first collect materials for coating the ship.
"What a skilled coating technician!" west Yan exclaimed.
"really."
Sanji nodded in deep agreement, then glanced at Franky and asked, "Where is he going to find the coating material?"
"How would I know?" Franky said, shrugging. "This is my first time here too."
Like his companions, it was his first time visiting Fishman Island.
"It's nearby," Jinbe said, pointing to an area nearby. "There's material there that can be used to coat ships."
"The materials for coating are usually sourced from here."
"I see, that makes things more convenient," west Yan said, stroking his chin.
"Oh, right, Xiyan!"
As if remembering something, Luffy turned to Xiyan and said, "Just now, Franky's brother said your name is Otsutsuki Xiyan?"
Franky:
That answer was a mistake.
"Yes, that's right." west Yan nodded and said, "That's what he said."
"So you have a surname?" Luffy asked in surprise. "Is it Otsutsuki?"
west Yan:
Is it strange that he has a surname?
However, he calmed down after thinking about Luffy's mental circuits.
It's not surprising that this idiot thinks that way.
Then, west Yan said, "You could say that."
He has the blood of the Otsutsuki clan flowing through his veins, so calling him Otsutsuki isn't wrong.
"Well, of course, it would make even more sense if horns could grow someday."
"Eh"
"This is the first time I've heard of your surname," Chopper said, leaning closer. "Is this a ninja's surname?"
"It has nothing to do with whether or not someone is a ninja," west Yan said, shaking his head.
At least the ninjas from Wano Country that those people are talking about don't have that qualification.
"I see."
Chopper nodded, then laughed and said, "The Otsutsuki clan...it seems so cool!"
"Really? Hahahaha."
west Yan burst into laughter upon hearing this, then added with a smile, "There will be even more handsome ones in the future."
Really?!
"Yes."
"I can't wait!"
Although he didn't know what west Yan planned to show them, Chopper was still filled with anticipation.
Just then, Shirahoshi said, "I...I want to visit my mother's grave."
The moment these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.
"At my mother's grave..."
Looking into Bai Xing's eyes, Xi Yan immediately understood something.
The other person was crying before... probably because of this.
Thinking of this, west Yan smiled and said, "Go then~"
"If anything else flies over, we'll take it away for you in advance."
"That's right!"
Sanji laughed and said, "Don't worry about it, Miss Shirahoshi."
"Thank you... thank you all..."
"You're welcome, Miss Shirahoshi!!!"
As he spoke, Sanji started wriggling his body again, his expression one of pure joy.
Seeing this, Bai Xing broke out in a sweat, but she didn't say anything more. Instead, she used the coral bubbles to make a swimming ring for herself and then swam towards the distant tombstone. Soon she entered a beautiful building.
"That's Shirahoshi's mother's grave," Luffy said.
"Um."
With a complex expression, Shinpei looked at Shirahoshi, who was whispering to her mother in the distance, and said, "Her mother, Queen Otohime, is buried here."
"Vander Deikun only began pursuing Shirahashi shortly after the princess's death."
"Therefore... Princess Shirahoshi was unable to attend even her mother's funeral..."
"After that, I lived inside the hard-shell tower for ten years, until today..."
At this point, Jinbe paused, then sighed and said, "She must have so much to say to her mother."
"Then let's give her the time," west Yan said softly.
At this moment, Shirahoshi must have a thousand words she wants to say to her mother, so... let her stay as long as she wants.
"That Vander Decken is such a bastard," Chopper said through gritted teeth. "Because of him, Princess Shirahoshi couldn't even have her mother's funeral..."
"That Vander Deikun deserves to die."
Sanji's eyes also flashed with anger; he hated bastards who bullied women the most.
"If we have the chance to find him, we'll definitely kill him," west Yan nodded and said.
If that guy dares to show his face in front of the Straw Hat Pirates, then... he's dead!
Listening to their conversation, Jinbe murmured, "I wonder if Vander Deikun will cooperate with Hody this time."
If this guy cooperates with Hody, there's a chance to take him down.
but.
"I really don't want to drag the Straw Hat Pirates into this," Jinbe thought with a headache.
west Yan had already done enough, so he didn't want the other party to be involved in the Fishman Island riot.
After all... that could potentially hurt someone in the Straw Hat Pirates!
With this thought in mind, Jinbe's eyes hardened.
Let him handle this matter!
Just then, a woman's voice came from afar.
"Hey, you guys are here too?!"
"Nami?"
Luffy paused for a moment upon hearing Nami's voice, then smiled and said to Nami and the others sitting on the fish cart in the distance, "You're here!"
"Yes, we're here!" Nami said with a smile.
The others also waved, as if to say hello to the people below.
"Nami, do you see that guy standing next to Luffy?" Camie pointed at Jinbe and said, "That's Jinbe."
"He is Jinbe..."
Nami frowned as she watched the fishman staring at her.
"Let's go, let's see what this guy has to say." Perona's smile faded, and she said, "If she dares to bully Nami, I'll make her regret it!"
At this moment, Perona didn't care at all whether the other party was a Shichibukai; all she could think about was how to protect her best friend!
"Me too!" Mary said, raising her little fist.
Hearing their conversation, Nami felt a warmth in her heart and then said, "Let's hear what he has to say first."
"good!"
Soon, the fish car pulled into a parking space in the Sea Forest and dropped the group off.
"The view here looks nice," Mary said, looking around.
"Indeed."
Kemi smiled and said, "Beautiful surroundings, and the beautiful Princess Shirahoshi..."
"Huh?!!"
Kemi's eyes bulged in shock as she stared at the figure sitting inside the massive building.
"Why is Princess Shirahoshi here?!"
Shouldn't she be inside the hard-shell tower?
"This must be the Little Mermaid Princess," Perona exclaimed in surprise, looking at Shirahoshi's profile. "So beautiful!"
Even she, who likes zombies and ghosts, thought the princess was very beautiful!
"No wonder some people say the mermaid princess is the most beautiful woman on Fishman Island..." Nami exclaimed in surprise, "Now that I see, it really is true."
So far, she has not seen anyone more beautiful than this princess.
Why is this princess here?
"Hey, Nami!" Luffy walked over and asked, "Has the banquet started?"
"banquet?"
Nami paused for a moment, then shook her head helplessly and said, "What banquet? There's no banquet at all."
"They attacked us after you two left."
Perhaps that curly-haired uncle wanted to treat them to dinner, but given what happened afterward... forget about the banquet.
"Oh, I see..."
Luffy looked disappointed and said, "I thought we'd get to eat sea monster meat."
If he had known things would turn out this way, he wouldn't have gone to the Dragon Palace with that curly-haired uncle.
Why not just follow Papagu and eat sea monster meat?
Just then, Sanji came running over, shouting, "Ladies, it's been a long time!"
I.
"Buzz"
Sanji, whose body had been pierced by the negative spirit, immediately collapsed to the ground, his face filled with dejection.
"I...I'm such a scumbag..."
"Feed?!"
Chopper, who was just marveling at Sanji's recovery, was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
Then, he looked at Perona in shock and said, "Perona, why did you do that?"
"This guy seems a bit off; let him calm down," Perona said calmly.
Chopper:
"But he's already recovered..." Chopper said, somewhat exasperated.
"Um?"
"Yeah?"
Perona looked at Sanji with a puzzled expression and said, "But this guy is still the same as before."
He gets excited whenever he sees a beautiful woman... just like when he used to get nosebleeds all the time!
"That's just his nature..."
Perona:
This nature is truly outrageous.
After shaking her head, Perona said, "Then I'll be more careful next time."
Now that he's healed, she doesn't need to keep giving him a beating.
Well, of course, if she's unhappy, she'll still teach this guy a lesson.
Chopper was somewhat helpless upon hearing this; what kind of situation was this?
"Hey, Nami," west Yan said, "We saw Brook when we came out, and he was carrying a bound person on his back..."
At this point, west Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "Have you already captured those people?"
"Yes."
Nami nodded and said, "Including the curly-haired uncle, we tied up all the fish-men in Ryugu Castle."
"I see."
west Yan nodded, it seemed that his thoughts were similar.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. With those people's strength, how could they possibly be a match for Zoro and his crew?
"No, wait a minute!"
Jinbe leaned closer, looking at Nami and the others with a dumbfounded expression, and asked, "Who did you just say you captured?"
"Those people inside the Dragon Palace."
Jinbe:
No, what exactly did Luffy and his crew do after they arrived at Fishman Island?
Why did they attack King Neptune and his men?
"Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"
"There must be some misunderstanding here," Nami said. "But instead of investigating, they wanted to arrest us first, so... we had no choice but to take them down."
Upon hearing this, Jinbe was immediately rendered speechless.
What kind of nonsense is this?
"Can you tell me exactly what happened?" Jinbe asked. "If it's a misunderstanding, I can mediate."
The people in the Dragon Palace are his friends, as are Luffy and Xiyan.
So... if possible, he hopes to clear up this misunderstanding.
Upon hearing this, Nami exchanged a glance with Perona, and then said, "Actually, we don't know much either."
All we know is that a mermaid girl was kidnapped, and the kidnappers mistakenly believe that we were the ones who did it.
"Another one is a woman named Madam Shirley who believes Luffy is the culprit behind the destruction of Fishman Island, so..."
. "
Although Nami didn't finish her sentence, everyone understood what she meant.
That's why those guys from Dragon Palace attacked them!
"The mermaid girl has been kidnapped by us??" Franky retorted, "How is that possible?!"
Putting aside the special existence of Xiyan, let's take the Straw Hat Pirates as an example. They are all Camie's friends, so how could they possibly go and capture a mermaid?
What are those guys on Fishman Island thinking?
"Damn it, they actually framed us..." Sanji said through gritted teeth, "Don't let me find out which bastard did this. How could a man like him kidnap a beautiful mermaid?"
This feeling of being wronged is incredibly frustrating!
"I also believe that Luffy and his crew wouldn't do such a thing, but His Majesty King Neptune doesn't want to believe it..." Camie said sadly.
As a mermaid who went through those things with the Straw Hat Pirates, I know their character very well.
She is very upset that her friends have been wronged by their own compatriots.
"I also believe you wouldn't do such a thing," Jinbe said with a stern face. "It must have been someone else who did it."
It's unclear whether this was done by a human or some radical fish-men...
Thinking of this, a shadow fell over Jinbe's eyes.
"What's the deal with that Mrs. Shirley?" Nami asked, puzzled. "Why do Curly-haired Uncle and the others trust that woman's prophecies so much?"
"Because this person's predictions are very accurate," Jinbe said. "At least, they haven't been wrong before."
"In other words..."
"That's right, at least in everyone's eyes, Luffy is the one who will destroy Fishman Island," Jinbe said.
Upon hearing this, Xiyan, who was treating Hachi, looked up at Jinbe and said, "Do you think so too?"
No, that's not it.
Jinbe shook his head without hesitation and said, "I don't believe you would destroy Fishman Island."
Putting everything else aside, judging from his relationship with Luffy and Saiyan, it's impossible for them to destroy Fishman Island.
Even if some people provoke them, they cannot take their anger out on Fishman Island.
So there must be something we don't understand.
"Looks like you're still quite rational," west Yan laughed.
"Reason is one aspect," Jinbe said, "but most importantly, I know what kind of people you two are."
They value relationships and have a clear sense of right and wrong.
How could someone like that destroy Fishman Island for no reason?
Moreover, Xi Yan is a hero of Fishman Island, so he absolutely does not believe that the Straw Hat Pirates would destroy Fishman Island!
"Uncle Jinbe is really sensible," Merry said with a smile.
"Uncle..."
Jinbe was taken aback when he heard Merry call him that, but then he realized that it wasn't wrong for her to call him "uncle."
After all... he is indeed not young anymore.
When asked if he wanted to bring it here, Jinbe smiled and said, "I'm just stating the facts."
At least he didn't believe the Straw Hat Pirates would do such a thing.
Then, he lowered his head and said, "However, this prophecy is still a problem..."
If this problem isn't resolved, the people of Fishman Island will start to hate the Straw Hat Pirates.
Although west Yan's appearance could solve the problem, doing so would actually create even more troublesome issues!
For example, the World Government could send people to Fishman Island to hunt down Luffy and his crew immediately, or... it's possible that the Buster Call could be used on Fishman Island!
Therefore, Jinbe felt it was better not to do that, at least not now.
"We'll talk about the prophecy later," Nami said, staring at Jinbe. "Now, let's talk about what you wanted to say. 'You called Luffy here, what exactly do you want to say?'"
"And also, that Ah Long from the East China Sea..."
Upon hearing Nami's words, Jinbe's expression gradually became complicated.
He then said, "This is also what I wanted to tell you this time."
Upon hearing this, Nami's expression immediately darkened.
Is it really as she thought?
"You were the ones who stopped Arlong and his crew's atrocities in the East Blue two years ago, weren't you?" Jinbe glanced at Luffy and his group.
He said, "I express my heartfelt gratitude, thank you all."
Upon hearing this, everyone remained silent, simply watching Jinbe calmly and waiting for him to continue.
Seeing this, Jinbe sighed silently, then continued, "While expressing my gratitude, please also accept my apology..."
"Could it be..."
Turning his head to look at Nomi, who was staring intently at him, Jinbe took a deep breath and said, "That's right, the culprit who exiled that guy Arlong to the East Blue 11 years ago... is this old man."
Upon hearing this, Luffy and the others were stunned; they had never expected this to happen.
And the light in Nami's eyes... vanished instantly.
Upon seeing this, Perona immediately frowned.
Although she didn't know what Nami had to do with this, judging from Nami's expression, this matter was definitely not simple!
so...
"Hey, Doraemon!" Perona said coldly to Jinbe, "You'd better give me a proper explanation!"
"If you dare to bully Nami... I will absolutely not let you get away with it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several white ghosts flew out from Perona's body and slowly floated around her, exuding a powerful aura of intimidation.
At this moment, Melie floated to Perona's side, sharing the same thoughts as Perona.
Nami felt a warmth in her heart upon seeing this, then stepped forward and gently pulled the two to her side. She then looked at Jinbe and said, "Jinbe, you just said that you exiled Arlong to the East Blue?"
"That's right, it is indeed me."
"I've heard about this once before," Sanji said, lighting a cigarette.
"Huh?"
Nami was stunned for a moment. Why did Sanji know about this?
"Back in the East Blue, Luffy and I heard Joseph mention the name of Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
Sanji said, "He said that after Jinbe became a Shichibukai, he demanded that the Navy release a pirate, and then released this dangerous pirate into the East Blue..."
"I think this person is Ah Long."
"Is that so?" Luffy asked doubtfully.
How come he doesn't remember Joseph mentioning this?
"That's because you forgot."
Sanji shook his head helplessly, then continued, "I was very surprised when I saw the news in the newspaper two years ago that the three of you were acting together. At that time, a question arose in my mind."
"So... is Jinbe the mastermind behind Arlong and his crew?"
If this guy really is the mastermind, things will get a bit complicated, after all, he's Luffy and Xiyan's friend.
So... it's best to let this fathead fish explain.
Thinking of this, Sanji looked at Jinbe seriously and said, "Jinbe, if you have any explanation to give, we're all ears, but watch your words."
"To tell you the truth, the beautiful navigator, Miss Nami, hails from an island ruled by Arlong!"
Upon hearing this, Jinbe's expression immediately changed.
"Could it be...?"
"That's right."
Sanji said, "That bastard Arlong ruled those islands for eight years, and during those eight years, the people on those islands lived a life worse than death!"
"And Miss Nami... is one of the victims!"
After speaking, Sanji paused, then frowned, staring intently into Jinbe's eyes as he continued, "So... if you're going to explain, you'd better think of something!"
"But if you're trying to make excuses... I won't let you get away with it!"
By the end, veins were even bulging on Sanji's face.
That look seemed to say: If you dare to do this half-heartedly, I'll absolutely kill you!
"So that's what happened...?"
Perona clenched her fists. No wonder Nami's expression had turned like that earlier... That blue fat guy really deserves to die! "Even though you're Xiyan and Luffy's friend, if you don't explain yourself properly, I won't let you off the hook!" Merry said.
As she spoke, two wildly spinning whirlwind drills appeared directly behind the little girl, their target aimed directly at Jinbe!
west Yan and Luffy were also staring at Jinbe, waiting to see how he would explain himself.
Jinbe, who had witnessed all of this, sighed silently.
It's all his fault...
"Boss Jinbe..."
"Xiao Ba, you're awake!" Kemi exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't move around."
Xi Yan looked down at Xiao Ba, who had regained consciousness, and said, "Although I'm treating you, if you move around too much before you're fully healed, the wound might reopen."
"Thanks..
Panting heavily, Hachi nodded obediently, then looked up at Jinbe and said, "Boss Jinbe, what he said is true."
"The harm we caused this girl cannot be forgiven, even with an apology."
Recalling what the Arlong Pirates had done in the past, tears of regret welled up in Hachi's eyes.
They're not human.
"you.."
Seeing Nami trembling slightly, Jinbe paused for a moment before saying, "It seems you've suffered a lot of misfortune."
Hearing Jinbe's words, Nami's body gradually calmed down.
Then, she looked up at Jinbe and said, "Yes, we have indeed encountered a lot of misfortune."
"So no matter what happens, I won't pity that guy, Ah Long!"
As if she had just thought of something, a flash of anger appeared in Nami's eyes, and the veins on her arms bulged.
Nami...
99
Kemi swam over with some concern, wanting to reach out and comfort her but not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Nami's anger gradually disappeared, and then she reached out and patted Camie to indicate that she was alright.
After finishing this task, Nami looked up at Jinbe and said, "Before arriving at Sabaody Archipelago, I couldn't understand why the Fish-Men hated humans so much."
"It wasn't until the moment Kemi was captured that I understood one thing: even the powerful fish-men can be persecuted by humans."
"Nami?"
Perona looked at Nami with suspicion. Did Nami really forgive that bastard Arlong so easily?
"I'm not saying this to mean I've forgiven them; I'm just stating what I know."
After saying that, Nami glanced at Hachi, whose eyes were filled with pain, and continued, "Hachi, the Arlong Empire was built based on the park in the Sabaody Archipelago, wasn't it?"
"Yes." Xiaoba struggled to get up and said, "We've always longed for that place, which is why we built the buildings in that style."
"Hey, don't move, the wound will reopen," west Yan said, frowning.
"Please let me finish..."
Panting heavily, Hachi struggled to his feet, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to Nami, saying, "Brother Arlong hates humans and despises them."
"But...when we were very young, we longed for the world inhabited by humans."
"We...are all like that..."
"This is also why the Arlong Empire would build a park similar to the one in the Sabaody Archipelago."
"But we've hurt so many people because of it..."
At this point, tears of regret welled up in Xiao Ba's eyes, and they flowed uncontrollably.
"Nami, I'm not saying this to get your forgiveness, I just want you to know why things turned out this way..."
"puff!!"
Before Xiao Ba could finish speaking, his body reacted so violently that his wounds reopened, and blood gushed out.
"Hachi!"
Chopper was dumbfounded when he saw blood gushing out of Hachi.
"You'd better lie down obediently." west Yan nodded back to Xiao Ba, and said, "Otherwise, you'll lose too much blood and it'll be all over."
This guy had already lost a lot of blood before receiving treatment; if he loses any more blood... he could very well die!
"Feel sorry..
