Chapter 335 Two Years Later!
Chapter 335 Two Years Later!
"Two years have gone by so fast..."
A hint of emotion appeared in west Yan's eyes as he glanced at the timetable beside him.
Upon hearing west Yan's words, the group of people chatting nearby immediately fell silent.
Then, Hancock said sadly, "So... you're leaving, right?"
"Well, I should get going."
"Then I, too..."
Before Hancock could finish speaking, Grandma Zaku said, "Hancock!"
"Don't forget what we said before."
She knew very well what kind of personalities the emperors of Amazon Lily were, so she had to give them a heads-up.
Hancock: —
"I know!" Hancock said, looking at her mother-in-law with some displeasure, "I won't abandon you and leave with Xiyan!"
Honestly, do I really have to keep reminding her?
Grandma nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.
Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't continue speaking, Hancock turned her gaze to Xiyan, then looked somewhat aggrieved.
She said, "west Yan, I will miss you..."
"Call me if you miss me," west Yan said with a smile.
"Yes, make the call!"
Hancock took out the white Den Den Mushi that Xiyan had obtained from Shakky and said, "If I miss you, I will use this to contact you."
After saying that, Hancock paused for a moment, then added, "May I come to the New World to find you?"
"Hancock..."
"Click!"
Upon hearing her grandmother's voice, Hancock's face contorted with rage, veins bulging. She then turned and opened her shark-like mouth, shouting, "Can you shut up?!"
Grandma:
After calmly wiping her face, Granny Za said, "I just wanted to remind you that it's okay to go to the New World to find Xi Yan, but you can't go to the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, otherwise you might get caught red-handed!"
"Once the World Government discovers our relationship with the Western Flame..., the enraged World Government will definitely destroy Amazon Lily immediately."
It's no longer just about the title of Shichibukai.
Given Hancock's relationship with Cirque du Soleil, the World Government would definitely come to destroy them, so their relationship must never be exposed!
At least... at least not now!
Looking at Hancock, who seemed a little dazed, west Yan said, "Grandma is right."
"The World Government hates me to the core. If they find out about our relationship, they will definitely retaliate. It may not be possible to capture the Straw Hat Pirates, but attacking Amazon Lily would be very easy."
After all... this island is right here!
Hancock paused for a moment upon hearing this, then sighed and said, "I...I understand."
Although she desperately wanted to just leave without a care in the world, for the sake of Amazon Lily, for her grandmother and sisters, she... had no choice but to endure it.
"That's good..." Grandma Zha breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely afraid that Hancock would just leave with Xiyan without a second thought, after all... things were different now than in the past!
"By the way, brother-in-law, why don't you disguise yourself a bit?" Santasonia said.
If we go directly to the Sabaody Archipelago like this, won't we attract the attention of the World Government?
They might not be able to leave then.
"There's no need for that."
west Yan picked up the sunglasses from the table, put them on, and said, "I've changed a lot in the past two years; they won't recognize me."
After saying that, west Yan stood up, walked to the mirror, and carefully examined his appearance.
He then nodded in satisfaction.
He's grown at least 30 centimeters taller, and looks much taller than Hancock.
In addition, there's the current fashion sense...
Even if he stood right in front of the Navy, they wouldn't recognize him!
After hearing Xi Yan's words, Santasonia carefully examined him and then nodded, saying, "
Um...that's true."
If they hadn't been spending all this time with west Yan, they probably wouldn't have recognized each other.
"As long as west Yan doesn't expose himself, there won't be any problems," Grandma Za said.
At least getting to the new world safely shouldn't be a problem.
"Indeed."
west Yan nodded and said, "However... if that guy Kizaru were next to me, he would still be able to spot me."
Although his appearance had changed a lot, his aura remained the same.
If Borsalino used his Observation Haki, he would still be able to recognize him.
"The navy doesn't have time to station an admiral in the Sabaody Archipelago," Grandma Za said, shaking her head.
The number of pirates has surged in the last two years!
Therefore, it's impossible for the Navy to station an admiral in the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Forehead..
After recalling some information he had seen from Sister Xia Qi, west Yan nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Because of the white-bearded uncle's words, the entire ocean went berserk, so the admiral really couldn't spare any attention.
Just then, Marigold asked, "Brother-in-law, where is your sword?"
My brother-in-law had that sword at his waist a few days ago, how come it's gone now?
"You mean the Kusanagi Sword?" west Yan said, "I don't need it anymore, so I sealed it inside a scroll."
"What, do you need it?"
With his strength, he no longer needs ordinary swords and knives, so there's no need for him to carry such a symbolic weapon.
"No, I was just a little curious," Marigold said, shaking his head.
Given her size, she wouldn't be able to use such a small weapon, so it would be useless for her.
This time, west Yan simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Brother-in-law, are you all heading to the New World right after you gather?" Santasonia asked.
"Of course," west Yan nodded.
Merry and Uncle Rayleigh, who has returned to Amazon Lily, have been gone for half a month. The ship must have been coated by now.
So after assembling, they would set off immediately, which would also allow them to quickly escape the navy's pursuit.
"I see..."
Santasonia paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Then who knows when we'll meet again?" "It might not be long," west Yan chuckled, "Maybe we'll conquer the Grand Line within a year!" "A year?"
Santasonia was stunned. Was this possible?
Even One Piece isn't this exaggerated.
"Nothing is absolute," Grandma Za said. "So, it's possible."
Although this may sound like a fantasy, well... this ocean itself is full of miracles, isn't it!
Santasonia thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "That's true."
"Alright, it's time to get going." west Yan stood up and said, "Let's go pick up Luffy first."
Having lived on that island for so long, this guy must have turned into a caveman by now.
Perhaps as if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on west Yan's face.
"Then let's go," Hancock said, rising to her feet. "I'll personally escort you there."
This way, she can spend more time with west Yan.
"it is good."
west Yan didn't refuse and nodded in acceptance of Hancock's proposal.
Then, Hancock led the two sisters, Santasonia and Santasonia, outside, intending to sail the boat out first.
Xi Yan looked at Granny Za seriously and said, "Granny Za, I'm leaving."
"Go."
A kind smile appeared on Grandma's face as she said, "Be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, with our strength, nothing will happen," west Yan grinned.
"Um.
Grandma nodded, then continued, "Remember to protect Meili."
Xi Yan smiled upon hearing this, then said, "Grandma... Mei Li is no longer the little N who needed protection."
"He's got a guy."
"She's quite powerful now!"
After hearing west Yan's words, Grandma Za felt a little dazed for a moment.
After a moment, she said, "Yes...this little guy isn't weak either..."
Without realizing it, that little guy who only knew how to act cute has become so amazing.
Thinking of this, a hint of emotion appeared in Grandma's eyes.
Seeing Grandma Za's expression, Xi Yan smiled and then said, "Grandma Za, if Nine Snake Island encounters any trouble, just give me a call, and I'll rush back as soon as possible."
"it is good."
Grandma Za nodded and smiled, "If that day ever comes, I won't hold back."
"However... as long as your relationship with Hancock remains hidden, you should be safe."
After all... Hancock is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
Therefore, neither the World Government nor the Navy would attack them without a reason.
As for whether the Seven Warlords of the Sea will be abolished...
Don't be ridiculous, how could the world government possibly do such a thing?
Therefore, this is absolutely impossible!
Thinking of this, Grandma nodded firmly.
"Don't worry, we won't be exposed." west Yan smiled.
"Um."
Grandma nodded and then said, "Go ahead, have a safe trip."
"profound!"
"Ah, I'm so full..."
Luffy, his belly round and full, lay down on the ground with a contented look on his face.
"roar?"
The giant lion glanced at Luffy, who had stopped eating, and tilted its head, letting out a low growl.
That look seemed to say: Boss, aren't you going to eat?
Upon hearing this, Luffy glanced at the prey the other party had just caught, then waved his hand and said, "I can't eat anymore, you eat it."
"roar"
The giant lion nodded in affirmation and then joined its companions in sharing the mammoth in front of it. Luffy smiled at this, then turned to look at the campfire beside him and muttered, "I wonder if it's been two years yet. He doesn't have anything to keep track of time here, so he has no idea how much time has passed."
After pondering for a moment, Luffy gave up thinking about it.
"Never mind, Xiyan will come to pick me up at the appointed time anyway, so there's no rush," Luffy said.
After figuring this out, Luffy closed his eyes and rested.
A moment later.
"roar!!"
A tremendous roar came from afar, as if a giant beast was driving away an enemy that had entered its territory.
However, the roar didn't last long before it turned into screams of agony.
"roar!"
Then came a loud bang.
"boom!!"
"scare!
Upon hearing the sound from afar, the giant beasts instinctively trembled, then looked warily in the direction from which the sound came.
If I remember correctly... that's saber-toothed tiger territory!
"Um?"
Luffy, who also sensed something was wrong, sat up and then used his Observation Haki to check the situation over there.
However, once he "saw" the aura over there, his expression immediately became excited.
"west Yan!!"
It was west Yan who came to pick him up!
"roar?!"
Upon hearing the names west Yan, the giant beasts were so frightened that they tucked their tails between their legs and broke out in a cold sweat.
At that moment, they recalled the terrifying scene of being beaten by that man.
That really is.
The giant beasts looked at each other, and then tears streamed down their faces.
A moment later, west Yan rode over from a distance on a saber-toothed tiger with a large bump on its head, looking quite content.
"Yo, Luffy!"
Seeing Luffy looking at him excitedly, west Yan smiled and said, "Long time no see!"
If you think about it carefully, they haven't seen each other for a year and a half.
"It's been a long time!" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.
"The two years are up, come with me."
"It's been two years already..."
A hint of emotion appeared on Luffy's face, and then he said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go get the hat back."
His hat was in the very center of the island, so he had to go back first.
"OK."
west Yan nodded, then tossed Luffy a set of clothes, saying, "Change into this outfit too."
Luffy looks like a savage right now, so it would be best if he changed his clothes first.
"good!"
Luffy grinned and nodded, then took his things and left.
After watching Luffy leave, west Yan turned his gaze to the faces of the giant beasts beside him.
"scare!"
The giant beasts, sensing west Yan's gaze, instinctively trembled.
"Look how scared you are," west Yan said with amusement. "I'm not going to eat you."
If we really wanted to eat them, these guys would have been in our stomachs a year ago, okay?
"call..
Upon hearing that they wouldn't be eaten, the giant beasts immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, tears welled up in their eyes.
They paid a heavy price to prevent these two evil stars from devouring them...
"roar?"
The saber-toothed tiger looked at west Yan with a fawning expression, as if to say: Then can you let me go?
"I won't eat you either," west Yan said irritably.
"Roar!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, the saber-toothed tiger visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, it lay down with a relaxed expression, and its breathing returned to normal.
Soon, Luffy changed his clothes and ran back, also putting on his most precious straw hat.
"Let's go, Xiyan."
"profound!"
west Yan nodded, then patted the saber-toothed tiger, signaling it to take him and Luffy to the beach.
"By the way, where's Merry?" Luffy asked as he landed on the saber-toothed tiger.
"Merry went to Sabaody Archipelago two weeks ago."
Luffy paused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "She went by herself?"
"No, I went with Uncle Rayleigh."
"That's good..." Luffy breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely worried that little Meryl would sail back alone, after all... that could easily lead to danger!
"Luffy, Merry isn't the same little girl she was two years ago anymore," west Yan said.
Luffy: ? ? ?
What does that mean?
What do you mean that Meryl isn't the same little girl she was two years ago?
Looking at Luffy's expression, west Yan understood what he meant.
Having not seen Mei Li for over two years, he was clearly unaware of the changes that had occurred to her.
"You'll know when you meet Mei Li," west Yan said with a smile.
"All right."
Luffy nodded, then smiled and said, "Let's go to Sabaody Archipelago first."
"profound!"
Meanwhile, the Sabaody Archipelago.
In Shakky's Bamboo Bar Tavern, Rayleigh and his two companions were chatting idly.
"The ship has already been coated, right?" Xia Qi said.
"Yes, it was all taken care of yesterday." Rayleigh nodded and said, "We can set off immediately once they've all gathered."
Regarding the ship's safety...
The location of the hidden pirate ship is very well concealed, so there shouldn't be any problems for the time being.
Shakky nodded upon hearing this, then poured Rayleigh a glass of special liquor and said, "Here, drink this."
"This was specially prepared for you."
After Mary and the others leave, she and Riley can continue their wonderful time together.
Thinking of this, Xia Qi couldn't help but smile.
"Still drinking?"
Looking at the drinks pushed in front of him, Rayleigh wore a complicated expression.
"Um?"
Rayleigh:
Seeing Shakky's expression, Rayleigh helplessly picked up the drinks on the table and started drinking.
Xia Qi smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this, then turned and poured Mei Li a glass of juice.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaqi!"
"You're welcome"
Xia Qi chuckled and ruffled Xiao Meili's hair, then glanced at the time and said, "It's time for the two-year reunion. I wonder where everyone else is."
"I don't know about the others, but west Yan and the other two should be arriving soon," Rayleigh said.
At the speed of the Kuja, it would only take a few days to reach the Sabaody Archipelago.
If west Yan were willing to use water escape techniques to travel, the speed would be even faster.
"That's true."
Just then, a man pushed open the door and walked in, looking very pleased.
"Oh?"
Sensing that familiar presence, Rayleigh turned around with a chuckle and said, "You've finally arrived!"
"Allah"
"Isn't this a pirate hunter?" Shakky laughed.
"Zoro!!"
Upon seeing that familiar face, Merry immediately took flight and rushed towards Zoro!
Zoro: !!
Zoro was dumbfounded when he saw Merry flying straight towards him.
After instinctively catching the little one, Zoro said, "Merry, you... how can you fly?"
Could it be that this little guy ate a Devil Fruit during those two years?
It's not impossible.
"Because I awakened the power of the wind, I can fly," Mary explained.
"So it's awakened..."
"Um?"
Zoro froze at this point, then exclaimed in shock, "Awakening?"
"Didn't he eat a Devil Fruit?"
"No, I didn't eat a Devil Fruit," Merry shook her head.
"Then how can you awaken the power of wind?"
Mei thought for a moment, then said, "It's probably because I'm an elf, that's what Xiyan told me."
She couldn't think of any other explanation.
"west Yan said that?!" Zoro's eyes lit up immediately. "If that's the case, then this kid really is still alive!"
When he first saw the second newspaper, he thought the world government was talking nonsense, and now it seems that his idea was indeed correct!
"Of course!" Mei Li laughed. "west Yan is doing very well!"
"That's good..." Zoro said with a sigh of relief.
It's good that you're alive... It's good that you're alive!
Just then, Merry noticed the condition of Zoro's eyes.
"Zoro, your eyes..."
Looking at Merry, who was staring at him with teary eyes, Zoro smiled and said, "It's just tuition."
What does one eye matter if one can become stronger?
"Should we ask west Yan to take a look at you?" Mei Li asked. "His medical ninjutsu might be able to cure you."
"There's no need for that." Zoro shook his head without hesitation and said, "This is proof that I've become stronger, and it's also a mark of something I've remembered, so I won't repair this eye."
"Well... okay..."
After chuckling and ruffling Merry's hair, Zoro looked up at Rayleigh and asked, "Has everyone else arrived?"
"no."
Reilly shook his head and said, "Besides Mary, who came back with me beforehand, you're the first one to arrive."
Zoro paused for a moment after hearing Rayleigh's words, then the corners of his mouth began to turn up involuntarily.
Finally, he even burst out laughing.
"Haha, so I was the first one here," Zoro said. "There's just no way to deal with these guys."
Hmph, now he has a reason to laugh at the lecherous chef!
Thinking of this, Zoro smiled even more broadly.
"Um?"
Looking at Zoro who kept laughing, a question mark popped up above Merry's head.
Why is Zoro so happy?
Is it because we didn't get lost this time?
Thinking about this, Mei fell into deep thought.
It seems... not impossible.
Xia Qi smiled, then glanced towards the door and said, "Aren't you going to invite the person outside in?"
"Outside?"
Upon hearing this, Merry broke free from Zoro's embrace and then noticed Perona floating behind Zoro.
"Huh?!"
"Aren't you that...that bad guy who plays with ghosts?!"
After recalling what had happened, Mary nodded affirmatively.
Perona:
Perona, who was about to greet her, immediately brightened up upon hearing Melly's words, then said irritably, "How am I a bad person???"
What's wrong with this little girl? Why is she labeling people right off the bat?
"Weren't you a bad woman for bullying us with your abilities back then?"
"That's because we were enemies back then, okay?" Perona said speechlessly.
Since they were enemies back then, she naturally had to use her abilities to deal with him; otherwise, how could she face Lord Moria?
"She's not an enemy, Merry," Zoro said. "I'm here because of her."
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Zoro knew that he couldn't return to Sabaody Archipelago on his own.
So he was still very grateful to Perona.
"It's not just that," Perona said. "I also saved your life!"
"If it weren't for me, you would have starved to death from getting lost long ago!"
Zoro: ? ? ?
The two of them should just keep this to themselves; why do they have to tell everyone?
"Pfft, Shakky and Rayleigh couldn't help but burst out laughing."
Zoro:
What should I do if I suddenly feel like crawling into a hole in the ground?
"Oh, I see..."
Mary carefully examined Perona, then nodded and said, "In that case, I'll forgive you." After saying that, Mary paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, thank you for saving Zoro."
"That's more like it," Perona said with a smile.
She then floated past Zoro and entered the house, saying, "I heard from Zoro that you're an information broker?"
"Yes," Shakky nodded with a smile, "Are you trying to buy information from me?"
Perona hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "How much money do you need?"
If she needs too much money, she will have to find a way to raise it first.
Shakky glanced at Zoro upon hearing this, and then said, "Tell me about it first."
"Do you have any news about Lord Moria?" Perona asked Shakky with expectant eyes. "Is he still alive?"
Where is he?
"You came here because of him?" Xia Qi asked back.
"Yes," Perona nodded. "I saw news about Lord Moria in the newspaper, so I want to go to the New World to find him."
A few days ago, she saw the news in the newspaper that Lord Moria had appeared in the New World.
The news says that Lord Moria fought with a powerful figure and then disappeared.
So she really wanted to know if Lord Moria was still alive.
Seeing Perona's expectant look, Shakky paused for a moment, then lowered her head and lit a cigarette for herself.
Seeing Shakky's reaction, a question mark clearly appeared above Perona's head.
What does this mean?
Does this mean they know or they don't?
"Shakky, Moria once saved my life." Merry, who had come with Zoro to the bar, looked earnestly at Shakky and said, "So... if you know, please tell her."
"I can pay for that intelligence."
west Yan has given her quite a bit of money over the past two years, so she should be able to afford to buy intelligence.
Perona was stunned when she heard what Melie said.
She never expected that this little guy who had just forgiven her would buy information for her...
Is she really that good?
"I.
Without giving Perona a chance to refuse, Shakky spoke up, "No need, I wasn't planning on taking her money anyway."
Perona was taken aback again upon hearing this. "You don't charge money?"
Is she... benefiting from the Straw Hat Pirates' fame?
Thinking of this, Perona fell silent.
Before I knew it, I owed someone a favor.
Shakky glanced at the somewhat stunned Perona, calmly exhaled a smoke ring, and then said, "Little girl, to tell you the truth, I don't know if Moria is still alive."
"Because the information I received is similar to what you saw in the newspapers."
As she knew, Perona and Moria had both gone missing after a fight.
As for whether the other person is still alive... she doesn't know.
"You don't know either..." Perona nodded with some disappointment. "I know."
She had hoped to get some information about Lord Moria from here, but she came up empty-handed.
It's okay, just go find it in the new world!
Perhaps sensing Perona's thoughts, Rayleigh spoke up: "Little girl, are you planning to go to the New World to find someone yourself?"
"right!"
"Then I advise you to give up," Rayleigh said, shaking his head.
Why?
"You have no idea how terrifying the New World is," Rayleigh said calmly. "Going to a place like that alone is basically suicide."
As the vice-captain of the Pirate King, he was very aware of this kind of thing.
"Rayle is right," Shakky said. "Think it over carefully before you speak."
"Consider it..."
Perona lowered her head in thought upon hearing this, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Who did you just say?"
"Rayleigh."
"Dark King Rayleigh?!" Perona exclaimed in shock, staring at Rayleigh. "You're the first mate of the Pirate King?!"
Why would such an important person be here?
This is absolutely shocking!
"yes."
Rayleigh chuckled, "Didn't Zoro tell you?"
Perona: !!!
It's not good at all!
"Uncle Rayleigh is indeed the vice-captain of the Pirate King," Zoro said. "So just listen to him."
This time, Perona didn't answer; her expression simply turned somewhat unpleasant.
But it's impossible to get her to give up.
After all... Lord Moria was the one who raised her!
"She seems to be a stubborn young girl."
Shakky, seeing through Perona's thoughts, shook her head and then said, "If you really want to go, you'd better find some reliable people to go to the New World with."
As she spoke, Shakky glanced at Zoro and Merry almost imperceptibly, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Perona, whose IQ had reached its peak, immediately understood what Shakky meant.
"When will the Straw Hat Boy arrive?" Perona asked.
She didn't try to take advantage of Zoro's kindness by making demands, as that might put Zoro in a difficult position.
So... she plans to have a chat with Straw Hat Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"I'm not sure about that," Xia Qi shook her head and said, "but it should have happened in the last few days."
"I see..."
Perona lowered her head to think for a moment upon hearing this, then raised her head and said seriously, "In that case, I'll be troubling you for the next few days!"
"But don't worry, I'll pay!"
"It's just a few days' stay, it's not like I'd ask you for money," Xia Qi said, shaking her head.
The other person was Zoro's friend, so she wouldn't ask him for those meager sums.
She then continued, "However, I don't have many rooms here, so you'll have to squeeze in with Mary."
"Merry...?"
Upon hearing this, Perona turned to look at Melie, her eyes showing some difficulty.
Does this girl who just disliked her really want to live with her?
Perhaps sensing Perona's thoughts, Melly spoke up, "I'm fine with it."
Since she said she forgave him, she wouldn't view him with prejudice, so she was willing to live with him.
Perona paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Then I'll take my leave."
"It's nothing, it's just one more person to eat and sleep, it's not a big deal," Xia Qi said, waving her hand.
This time, Perona simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
Shakky didn't pay any attention, and then turned to pour Zoro a glass of wine.
"Here, try this," Shakky said. "It's the latest from Sabaody Archipelago."
"The latest model?"
Zoro's eyes lit up immediately, and he picked up the cup, saying, "Then I'll have to try it."
During the two years he trained with Hawkeye, he didn't touch a drop of alcohol.
So... this time we're going to have a good drink!
After taking a sip, Zoro gave a thumbs-up and said, "Not bad at all!!!"
The feeling of my entire body's pores opening up after drinking it... it's so amazing!
"Hehe, I'm glad you like it," Xia Qi said with a smile.
Rayleigh blinked upon hearing this, then said, "Give me a drink too."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qi glanced at Lei Li, then at the cup in his hand.
That look seemed to say: Drink this all first!
Rayleigh:
Rayleigh paused for a moment, then drank the beverage in his hand with a pained expression, which finally made Shakky show a satisfied look.
Then, I poured him a glass of new wine.
After taking a sip, Rayleigh's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Excellent wine!"
"Don't worry, there's more here."
"good!"
