Chapter 179 Special Water Release Techniques: Protecting the Ball
"I wonder what kind of sea king Xiyan will come up with this time~" Meili said, resting her chin on her hand.
Speaking of which, we haven't eaten the sea kings we killed in the Sabaody Archipelago yet, have we? I wonder if they've gone bad.
"I don't care what kind it is, as long as I can get to Impel Down," Luffy said.
"It's the underwater prison!" Mary corrected helplessly.
What's wrong with Luffy? Why does he always forget names and give people weird nicknames?
This applies to people, and it also applies to things.
"Hahaha, anyway, it's that big prison." Luffy laughed, scratching his head.
"You might encounter some formidable enemies on your trip to the underwater prison," Granny Zha said. "So you must be careful."
With the sea kings of Xiyan around, leaving that place shouldn't be too difficult, but encountering an admiral-level fighter inside would be dangerous.
After all... guys of that level are monsters!
Upon hearing this, Luffy's smile faded, and he adjusted his hat, saying, "No matter what, I will rescue Ace."
Therefore, even if he were to die in battle, he would have no regrets.
Looking at Luffy's appearance, Grandma felt a headache coming on.
"It seems there's no point in talking to him like that; he's just a stubborn guy," Grandma Za thought to herself.
Well, with west Yan following along, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Thinking about this, Grandma gradually calmed down.
Then, she looked at Mary and said, "Mary, what color snake do you want?"
"Hmm... I want a blue one."
Margaret: ? ? ?
"You wouldn't want the blue snake because you saw what Lord Sandasonia looked like, would you?" Margaret asked, dumbfounded.
If I remember correctly, Lord Sandasonia can transform into a large blue snake.
"Of course not," Mary shook her head and said, "I just want a snake of this color."
After saying that, Meili looked at Grandma Za and continued, "Grandma Za, do you have this color?"
"Okay, I'll look for it," Grandma nodded.
Who knows, maybe we'll be able to find a snake with some kind of special venom, which could increase this little guy's fighting power.
"Thank you, Grandma!"
"fine."
Grandma smiled and patted the little guy's head, her eyes full of kindness.
Seeing this little one reminded her of the three Hancock sisters from the past.
Just then, west Yan appeared in the backyard and said, "Let's go, we can set off now."
"Can we finally set off?!"
Luffy darted out in a flash, looking just like a monkey.
"What kind of sea king did you catch?" Margaret asked curiously.
"Hmm... that guy has a dog's head, probably several hundred meters long," west Yan said.
"Several hundred meters?!"
Margaret stared at west Yan in disbelief. He had actually tamed a sea king several hundred meters long in such a short time?!
This is unbelievable!
That thing is so big, it's many times bigger than a pirate ship!
"That's really amazing," Grandma exclaimed.
The opponent really did manage to take down a large sea king in such a short time. No wonder he's someone who can go toe-to-toe with a Marine Admiral!
With such a large sea king, they can definitely keep up with the warships.
"However, I've discovered a problem," west Yan said. "The Sea Kings seem to have some issues with their perception."
"Insight?"
Margaret asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"When they're deep in the ocean, they don't rely on their eyes to observe their surroundings," west Yan said, stroking his chin. "They're more likely using their aura or scent to sense everything around them."
"But the aura emanating from the warships is the same as that of the sea!"
To ensure there would be no problems tracking the warship, west Yan deliberately maneuvered the husky to swim around the warship.
The feedback he received was that they were unable to locate the warship underwater.
Because... the aura emanating from warships is the same as that of the sea!
"The same scent as the sea?" Granny Zha frowned, a few guesses forming in her mind. Then she said, "It should be Seastone."
"Hai Lou Shi?!"
"Yes." Grandma Zha nodded and said, "I think you should know what sea stone is."
"Yeah, that thing is used to counter ability users."
"It's not that simple to explain Seastone," Granny Za said. "To be precise, this stuff is a crystallization of the sea, containing a rich ocean aura, which is why it can restrain ability users!"
"However, the way the navy is using this method is indeed somewhat surprising to me."
After speaking, Grandma Za paused for a moment, then continued, "Judging from the current situation, the navy must have mastered some kind of special technology that allows them to use Seastone on warships to eliminate the scent of military aircraft. This is probably why they were able to cross the Calm Belt."
Otherwise, the moment the warship enters the doldrums, it will be targeted by large sea monsters.
If you're targeted by a giant sea monster that's hundreds or even thousands of meters long... you're basically doomed.
"So, you can't get the Sea Kings to keep up with the warships?" Margaret asked.
"Not really," west Yan said. "I just need to go back to the surface every now and then."
"Of course, if we can find that special ocean current that the Navy uses, we won't need to go through all this trouble; we can just follow it."
According to Sister Xiaqi, that ocean current can send them to the underwater prison, so all they need to do is find that current.
"There's no need for all this trouble," Granny Zha said, standing up. "Let's go, come with me to find the Snake Princess."
"I have a way."
west Yan was somewhat puzzled, but since the other party had a solution, that was all the better.
Then, west Yan raised his hand and activated the Shadow Clone Technique.
"Bang!"
A wisp of white smoke drifted by, and an identical Xiyan appeared there.
"Huh?!?!"
"Create...a clone?!"
Margaret stared at the scene in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Does the opponent actually have a clone?
"Ah, that's right, a clone," west Yan said with a chuckle.
"This really surprises me." Grandma Za looked at west Yan with a shocked expression and said, "I didn't expect you to actually know this."
According to the stories, ninjas all have the ability to create clones.
But west Yan had never shown it to her, so she assumed he wouldn't.
And it turns out... it really does have the ability to create clones!
"As a ninja, isn't it reasonable for him to be able to create clones?" west Yan grinned.
After saying that, west Yan looked at Luffy and said, "Luffy, you go with the clone to the Sea Kings first, I'll come find you in a bit."
"Oh!" Luffy nodded.
Afterwards, west Yan handed over all the food storage rolls and warehouse rolls to his clone, indicating that the clone should arrange the items so as not to waste time.
"clear."
The next moment, west Yan's shadow clone activated a ninjutsu, and a huge rock hand suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbed the two people, and then disappeared into the ground.
"It's...it's gone underground again!" Margaret exclaimed, her eyes wide.
It's exactly the same as what I saw before. The other party is too amazing!
"It's such a convenient and useful feature," Grandma exclaimed.
With the Earth Escape Technique, this kid can really go wherever he wants.
Being a ninja—that's really enviable!
"Let's go find Hancock."
After saying this, Grandma Za waved her snake-shaped walking stick over and then walked away step by step into the distance.
Seeing this, west Yan followed, but he had only taken one step when a small hand grabbed his sleeve. "Meili?"
"west Yan, you two must come back alive!" Mei Li said, looking at west Yan with tears in her eyes.
She was truly afraid that this parting would be forever.
"We already pinky swear," west Yan bent down and ruffled the little guy's hair, saying, "We'll definitely come back alive!"
"Um!!!"
After receiving a positive reply again, Mei Li released her grip on west Yan's hand.
"Margaret, I'm leaving Mary in your care for the time being," west Yan said.
"Don't worry," Margaret nodded solemnly.
"Kid, hurry up and keep up!" Grandma called out.
"Oh, here it comes!"
After smiling at Mei Li, west Yan turned and left.
Subconsciously, Mei reached out her hand again, but this time she didn't say anything. She just silently watched west Yan's back until he completely disappeared from sight.
"Xiyan...Luffy...you must all be safe and sound."
The little one bit his lip and prayed silently for the two of them.
"Don't worry, Mary," Margaret said, picking Mary up. "They're so strong..."
They will definitely come back alive.
"Um!"
"Come on, I'll teach you some hatching techniques," Margaret said.
"profound!"
Snake Island, on the west coast.
At that moment, an enormous sea king was lying in the seawater, with only its eyes and part of its head showing above the surface.
Controlled by west Yan, it hasn't moved an inch since arriving here.
Moments later, the land on the coast exploded, and then a rocky hand reached out.
"They're out!"
Luffy, standing on the rocky hand, opened his arms and shouted.
west Yan glanced at Luffy with a hint of helplessness. This guy really loves to brag.
west Yan shook his head, then looked at the sea and shouted, "Come out!"
As west Yan finished speaking, the giant sea king began to move.
"boom!!"
The next moment, an enormous dog head appeared on the sea surface, its eyes blood red.
"Wow...it's so big!!!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Didn't I just say several hundred meters?" west Yan said.
Upon hearing this, Luffy scratched his head and said, "I have no idea how big a few hundred meters is."
west Yan: ...
west Yan's lips twitched. It seemed that it was indeed a bit difficult to get Luffy, with his simple mind, to understand this kind of thing.
After shaking his head, west Yan said, "In any case, this is the vehicle we'll be using this time."
I named him: Erha (Silly Husky).
"I see, Silly Silly." Luffy nodded and said, "Now that it has a name, let's not eat it."
west Yan: ? ? ?
No, so in the beginning, this guy intended to use them as a reserve food supply?
When west Yan thought of the grain reserves, he thought of Chopper.
Poor Chopper...
"Xiyan, are we sitting on his head?" Luffy asked excitedly.
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the husky's head, intending to launch it upwards.
"Idiot, it's not on your head!"
"Huh?"
Luffy was stunned for a moment upon hearing west Yan's words, and then, due to the power of rubber, he was sent flying.
He plunged headfirst into the sea.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
west Yan: ....
Seeing Luffy blowing bubbles in the ocean, west Yan covered his face.
"That idiot."
With a pained expression, west Yan used a water escape technique to pull the bubble-blowing guy out of the water.
"Cough cough... Ugh..."
:
"I...I almost thought I was going to die!"
"Why don't you just drown?" west Yan said irritably. "Next time, can you at least let people finish what they're saying?"
Fortunately, this is the west coast, which is very far from the naval warships in front, otherwise the navy might have discovered the situation.
If the navy discovers them... their operation might be in vain!
Thinking of this, west Yan's fist hardened.
"bump!"
The fist, imbued with Haki, struck Luffy squarely on the head, leaving a large bump that made him writhe on the ground in pain.
"Ouch...it hurts so much!"
"Next time, remember to let me finish what I have to say, you rascal!" west Yan said.
"But"
"Um?"
"sorry.....
Seeing west Yan raise his fist again, Luffy promptly apologized.
west Yan snorted, then looked at the husky and said, "Open your mouth."
The sea king obediently opened its mouth, revealing its huge fangs, which looked quite terrifying.
Unfortunately, neither Xiyan nor Luffy were frightened by this scene.
"Let's go, Luffy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, west Yan grabbed Luffy and jumped over, landing precisely in the other's mouth.
Then, he took out the scroll containing the warehouse and released it by clapping his hands together.
"Bang!"
Looking at the location where the warehouse landed, west Yan said, "Hmm, it's in this peripheral area, so it won't be greatly affected."
Subsequently, west Yan activated a water escape technique, creating a hollow water sphere that firmly protected the warehouse inside.
After circling around and finding no problems, west Yan nodded in satisfaction.
"What is this?" Luffy asked curiously, looking at the water sphere.
"This is a hollow water sphere I made using water escape techniques, so that I won't have to worry about seawater rushing in and washing it away," west Yan explained.
Although it requires a continuous expenditure of chakra to maintain, it is not a difficult thing for him.
After all... his Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques are extremely powerful!
It's a pity that this thing can only be fixed in one position, otherwise it could be used as a coating.
west Yan murmured to himself.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes shining.
Is it possible for Xiyan's Water Escape Technique to even accomplish something like this?
That's so cool!
"Impressive, isn't it?" west Yan laughed. "My water escape technique is quite powerful!"
After saying that, west Yan pulled Luffy toward the water sphere.
Hold your breath.
"what?"
Luffy was stunned for a moment, but before he could ask a question, west Yan pulled him into the seawater shelter.
Luffy: ? ? ?
"Glug glug glug...cough cough."
Luffy, having passed through the seawater barrier, lay on the ground coughing.
Seeing this, west Yan laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you to hold your breath?"
"You said it so quickly... cough cough... how was I supposed to know... cough cough..."
Upon hearing this, west Yan looked away somewhat awkwardly. Had he spoken too quickly?
Well, I'll be more careful next time.
Luffy didn't pay much attention. After spitting out the water, he regained his energy and then looked at the warehouse in front of him with curiosity.
With the help of the moonlight, he could barely make out the shape of the warehouse inside the water sphere.
"west Yan, are we going to spend the rest of our time here?"
"Yes, that's right."
west Yan opened the door and went inside, saying, "This space of over twenty square meters is enough for us to move around in."
As he spoke, he took out some more candles from the scroll and lit them on the table.
"Buy some candles on the way back, they can be used as a light source," west Yan said.
As for the oxygen problem, it's easy to solve; just let the husky go out for some fresh air periodically.
He will then open the water sphere and let in oxygen.
"west Yan, you've thought of everything!" Luffy grinned.
He didn't even consider the issue of the light source.
west Yan simply smiled and said nothing.
They'll be living here before they go to the underwater prison, and if they don't think things through carefully...
That's what happened to Chun Chun.
Therefore, west Yan naturally wanted to find a way to make the two of them more comfortable.
Then, west Yan turned to look outside, thinking to himself, "I wonder how things are going on the main body's side."
What exactly is the method my mother-in-law suggested?
Just then, Luffy said, "Xiyan, can I eat something?"
west Yan: ? ? ?
west Yan turned to Luffy with a shocked expression and said, "Didn't you eat enough just now?"
"I ate a lot this afternoon, but I'm hungry again now," Luffy said, scratching his head.
He digests very quickly; food eaten in the afternoon is naturally digested by evening.
This is also why he often sneaks into the kitchen in the middle of the night to steal food.
west Yan:
west Yan wore a complicated expression, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, we bought a lot of supplies this time, otherwise we might not have been able to feed this guy.
After shaking his head, west Yan took out a scroll containing food and said, "Luckily, I had the foresight."
After casually unrolling the scroll, west Yan took out some food and placed it on the table, then said:
Eat up, you glutton!
"profound!"
"Arigato!" Luffy said with a loud laugh.
He then picked up a large piece of meat with the bone and ate it, looking very satisfied.
west Yan ignored the guy, instead glancing towards the window and muttering to himself, "I wonder if Fire Fist Ace has any generals stationed there."
