Chapter 324 The Stolen Treasure, the Real Secret!
After smiling, Shakky said, "Anyway, after retiring, I lived on Beehive Island for a while and even earned the title of Pirate Treasure."
I thought life would continue peacefully like this, but then...
"result?"
Seeing Xia Qi's suddenly changed expression, west Yan instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
"What happened in the end?"
"And then I got kidnapped," Xia Qi sighed.
"They've kidnapped them?!"
west Yan looked at Xia Qi in shock and said, "Wasn't Rocks a great pirate who suppressed an entire era? How come someone still dares to go to his territory to arrest people?"
No, who on earth has the audacity to do something like this?
Do you want to die?
"some."
"Who?"
Xia Qi did not answer immediately upon hearing this, but instead recalled the image of that person in her mind.
After a moment, she spoke: "The World Government!"
Upon hearing this, west Yan was immediately rendered speechless.
Yes, perhaps only a world government would dare to provoke such a powerful entity capable of suppressing an entire era.
Then, west Yan said, "So, it's because those so-called world nobles have taken a liking to you, and therefore... intend to take you back as their wife?"
"To be a wife?" Xia Qipi chuckled and said, "Those kinds of people don't treat us like human beings, even if I was the most beautiful woman in the world at the time."
The world's most beautiful woman?!
In the eyes of those so-called world nobles, she was nothing more than one of the more outstanding people among the lower classes.
Even if... her beauty could have captivated an entire era!
"Isn't it to be a wife...?"
After saying this, west Yan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Xia Qi and said, "Could it be...?"
"Yes, I was a slave." Shakky nodded. "They used me as a prize in the God Valley Hunting Tournament."
"If you can get first place, you will get an incredibly powerful Devil Fruit, and at the same time... you will also get me."
Recalling that memory, some veins appeared on Xia Qi's face.
Seeing Shakky's expression, west Yan immediately thought of Hancock's experience and said, "Shakky, why don't we just forget about it? I'm not curious anymore."
Looking at Xi Yan's expression, Xia Qi shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I wasn't bullied, so there's nothing I can't say. After those guys captured me, they treated me to good food and drink for a long time."
"Then how come you..."
.
"I just feel a little wronged," Xia Qi said. Being treated like a precious gem for so long, only to become someone else's prize... anyone would be unhappy in that situation!
Shaking her head, Shakky continued, "Anyway... after the hunting competition in God Valley was confirmed, I became one of the prizes for that competition."
At this point, Shakky paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, by the way, do you know what the God Valley Hunting Tournament is?"
"Yes, my mother-in-law told me that."
"Gloria Osa...::." Shakky frowned and asked, "What did she tell you?"
"She told me the reason why the World Government launched the hunting competition," west Yan said. "She said it was to take over those islands, which is why they launched such a brutal hunting competition."
"Then it was said that Rocks went to God Valley to kill the Celestial Dragons and steal Devil Fruits."
At this point, west Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the fact that you were used as a prize... she didn't reveal a single word about it."
west Yan now understands why his mother-in-law hesitated back then; it was probably because she was considering Xia Qi.
After all... it's not exactly honorable to be used as a prize.
"I see...."
.
Xia Qi smiled upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "It seems she's doing a pretty good job as an older sister."
Know what to say and what not to say.
In that case... I'll just keep those things about her food to myself.
Then, Shakky continued, "Alright, now that you know what the hunting competition is, things will be much easier."
"In short...: After learning that the Celestial Dragons' hunting tournament was to be held in God Valley, Rocks promptly led his pirate crew there."
"Afterwards, the Rocks Pirates engaged in a fierce battle with the World Government."
"Shortly afterward, the Roger Pirates and Marine hero Garp also joined the battle!!!"
"Wouldn't that turn into a massive free-for-all?" west Yan said with interest. "Wouldn't all the islands have to be sunk?"
Grandma once said that three of the Four Emperors had served in the Rocks Pirates!
This means that Rocks' side had at least four or five Yonko-level fighters in that great battle!
With a lineup like that, sinking an island wouldn't be a problem at all!
"After that battle, God Valley was indeed sunk," Shakky nodded.
Those who participated in that battle were almost all at the pinnacle of combat power, so it's quite normal that they were able to sink the island.
"The World Government must have suffered heavy casualties," west Yan said.
Although it's unclear why Roger teamed up with Garp to fight Rocks, even the other four Emperors alone could have inflicted heavy casualties on the World Government!
"No, you're really wrong." Shakky shook her head and said, "The World Government and the Navy didn't suffer many casualties."
"Not big?"
west Yan paused for a moment, then, as if realizing something, said, "Could it be... that the Knights of God have joined the battle?"
"You also know about the Knights of God?"
"Of course," west Yan nodded. "I encountered members of the Knights of the Gods during my trip to Mary Geoise!"
"Those guys are not only strong, but they also possess an ability similar to immortality, making them very troublesome."
"And that man who looks a lot like Shanks is even stronger, like a monster."
At this point, west Yan's expression became somewhat serious, and he said, "He can unleash slashes imbued with Conqueror's Haki..."
He's at least a general-level fighter!
At this moment, the image of Shamrock Saint's slash flashed through west Yan's mind; its power was indeed formidable!
"A slash imbued with Conqueror's Haki...it looks a lot like Shanks's?"
After thinking for a moment, Shakky looked up and said, "Could it be that you saw Shanks' twin brother?"
"That guy really does have a brother?" Before Xi Yan mentioned the other party, he only thought that the other party was Shanks' twin brother, but he didn't have any substantial evidence, so he couldn't confirm it. But judging from what Sister Xia Qi said, it seems that he was right!
"The probability is very high," Shakky nodded. "Because Shanks is the child Roger and the others brought out of God Valley."
"The child was hidden in a treasure chest, which Roger and his men took away as treasure."
Shakky felt a pang of emotion as she recalled what Rayleigh had told her.
Shanks, a Celestial Dragon, was taken away by Roger and trained to become a pirate... Fate is truly an interesting thing. "That must be it," west Yan nodded.
These current conditions are sufficient to prove Shanks' identity.
This guy is definitely a Celestial Dragon!
Then, west Yan said, "These two people might be descendants of some member of the Knights of God, who knows?"
"Descendants..."
Shakky recalled the members of the Knights of God she had seen, then nodded and said, "I think I know who it is."
"Who?"
"A man with hair that looked like the moon," Shakky said. "He also had red hair."
After recalling the man who fought Whitebeard, Xia Qi nodded affirmatively again.
Yes, it's definitely that guy!
"What's his name?"
"Then I don't know." Shakky shook her head and said, "I only saw it from afar at the time, and then I ran away with Rayleigh."
west Yan: ...
Oh, I see. It seems there's no way to get that person's information.
After shaking his head to himself, west Yan said, "So, that means Uncle Rayleigh risked his life to rescue you?"
Yes~
Xia Qi rested her chin on her hand, looking like a lovesick fool, and said, "That man risked his life to save me from hell."
"Is this why you like Uncle Raleigh?"
"Pretty much," Xia Qi said.
She did like Rayleigh before, but what truly made her devoted to him was that incident.
"A hero saving a damsel in distress, huh?" west Yan said, stroking his chin. "It seems this move is indeed quite lethal."
"No, no, no, it depends on the person," Xia Qi corrected.
She made this decision because it was Rayleigh who came to her rescue; she wouldn't have done it if it were anyone else.
west Yan: ...
If you like someone, you'll repay them with your body; if you don't, you'll be their slave in the next life.
Ignoring west Yan's reaction, Xia Qi continued, "In short, it was because of that incident that I decided to follow Rayleigh."
"After leaving God Valley, I came to the Sabaody Archipelago and opened this tavern under an assumed name."
"Rayleigh only came to find me after the Roger Pirates disbanded, and after that, we officially started living together."
Thinking about it carefully... more than twenty years have passed.
Thinking of this, a hint of emotion appeared in Xia Qi's eyes.
west Yan nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "It seems that it wasn't easy for the two of you to get together."
"That's just how the world of One Piece is."
On this vast ocean, there are many things that are beyond our control.
But no matter what, she got what she wanted, so she was satisfied.
west Yan nodded, then continued, "Why did Roger clash with Rocks in a place like that?"
"Aren't they all pirates?"
"Did Gloria tell you this?"
"That's right." Xi Yan nodded and said, "Grandma said that Rocks was defeated by Garp and Roger working together."
"Is that so...?"

"I don't know the specific reason either," Xia Qi shook her head and said, "They haven't mentioned it again since."
"However... I do have a guess."
"What conjecture?"
"Maybe it's because both of them want me," Xia Qi said with a smile, looking at west Yan.
After all, one of the reasons Rocks went to God Valley was for her, so what she said doesn't seem wrong.
west Yan: ...
Is it because of jealousy or rivalry?
Isn't this reason a bit far-fetched?
Would two people with kingly ambitions fight over a woman?
After recalling what Xia Qi had said before, west Yan felt that this was indeed a possibility.
After all... she's a pirate gem who captivated Roger and a host of other powerful figures!
So it's quite possible that these two people actually started fighting because of this.
Well, in the end, it still benefited Uncle Rayleigh.
Thinking about this, west Yan felt like laughing.
"You, who haven't lived through that era, have no idea how charming my sister really is," Xia Qi said with a smile.
This time, west Yan didn't say much, but nodded and accepted Xia Qi's explanation.
Then he looked up and asked, "And what's wrong with that old man Garp?"
"He probably wasn't attracted to your charm. I remember you said he'd been chasing you."
Hunting down is not the same as pursuing; that one word makes all the difference!
"Yeah, this guy definitely doesn't like me."
When Garp was mentioned, Shakky's smile faded considerably. She continued, "That lunatic's first reaction upon seeing me is to kill me; he never has any other thought."
west Yan:
Luffy's grandfather is really something... He's a true Sigma man!
"As for why he joined forces with Roger to fight Rocks...:::" Shakky shrugged and said, "I don't know either."
Why?
"Because I didn't ask," Xia Qi said.
For a man like Roger, teaming up with Garp to fight Rocks would be an extremely shameful thing, so she didn't say anything more.
Of course, the main reason was to give Rayleigh face.
Seeing west Yan deep in thought, Xia Qi continued, "Of course, if you really want to know, you can go ask Karp."
Rayleigh may not know why Roger teamed up with Garp back then, but Garp definitely does!
After all... this guy is the person involved!
As for whether Xiyan will be killed by Garp?
Don't joke around. Putting aside the fact that this kid is immortal, even if he isn't, he wouldn't kill Xi Yan out of respect for Little Straw Hat.
So there's no problem in just asking.
west Yan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's no need for that."
Although he didn't know the reason why these two powerful figures joined forces, they probably didn't want anyone to know, so he wouldn't go looking for trouble.
This time, Xia Qi didn't say anything more, she just nodded and ended the topic.
Just then, west Yan said, "Sister Xia Qi, have you... ever suffered from lovesickness?"
According to Shaki, after being rescued, she lived alone in the Sabaody Archipelago... Did she ever fall in love with Rayleigh during this time?
Shakky didn't answer the question immediately, but instead raised an eyebrow and said, "Hancock......suffered from lovesickness?"
"Yes," west Yan nodded.
If it weren't for this lovesickness, it's uncertain whether the two of them would have been able to get together.
Upon hearing this, Xia Qi recalled some comparisons and then decisively shook her head, saying, "No!"
If she doesn't say it, then it doesn't exist!
west Yan: ? ? ?
Why does it feel like Sister Xiaqi isn't telling the truth?
Is it just my imagination?
Seeing that west Yan looked like he wanted to investigate, Xia Qi quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, just leave these things here. I'll send someone to take care of them later."
"Okay, okay." west Yan nodded.
Seeing that Xia Qi had said that, west Yan didn't ask any more questions, but instead cooperated with her to change the subject.
As friends, sometimes it's best to know when to stop, otherwise it would be impolite.
"Let's go back to the tavern first," Xia Qi said.
"profound!"
