Chapter 433: The Latest News from Sister Xia Qi, a Surprised west Yan.
"Should we go take a look?" Brooke asked excitedly.
He was quite interested in these legendary snowmen.
"There's no need for that," west Yan said. "Isn't finding that warrior the most urgent thing?"
"Besides... the direction of these footprints is the direction we came from."
If we were to go find the other party, it would mean going back, which would be a huge waste of time.
"The direction you came from?"
Brooke glanced back at where they had come from, then asked in confusion, "Why didn't we see them when we came here?"
"Perhaps they changed their route halfway through," west Yan said.
This snow-capped mountain is so large, and there are so many smaller hills, it can easily support the enemy moving their position silently.
"How could this be...?"
Sanji looked disappointed and said, "I thought I was going to meet the legendary Snow Man."
Zoro and Brook both showed expressions of disappointment upon hearing this.
west Yan:
So, what exactly are you disappointed about?
Just then, the Den Den Mushi rang in west Yan's arms.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"A Den Den Mushi?"
Zoro looked at Xiyan with some surprise and said, "Why would a Den Den Mushi ring at a time like this?"
"Maybe it's a call from Miss Nami and her group, yohohohoho~"
Upon hearing this, Sanji's expression immediately changed.
"Has Nami and the others encountered danger?!" Sanji exclaimed anxiously. "Quick, Xiyan, answer the phone!"
Hearing what the others were saying, west Yan subconsciously frowned.
Could it really be a problem over there?
Thinking of this, west Yan immediately took out the Den Den Mushi from his pocket.
"Kaga~"
"Feed?" west Yan asked. "What happened?"
"Allah"
"it's me."
Upon hearing Xia Qi's familiar voice, west Yan took out the white Den Den Mushi without hesitation and placed the two Den Den Mushi side by side.
"What is this white Den Den Mushi?" Zoro asked curiously.
"Used to prevent eavesdropping."
west Yan offered an explanation, then looked at the Den Den Mushi and said, "I didn't expect you to contact me so suddenly, Xia Qi-nee."
Is there any information you want to tell him?
Could it be... that Sister Shakky has already discovered the whereabouts of the Magnet Fruit?
Or did you find out about Moria?
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Sanji immediately showed an excited expression.
"What?! It's the beautiful Ms. Shakky?!" Sanji exclaimed, wriggling his body. "It's been so long, Ms. Shakky."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qi, realizing that west Yan had already taken out the white Den Den Mushi, laughed and said, "That voice is Kosanji, isn't it? It's been a long time."
"Ah, I never expected that Ms. Shakky would still remember my voice..." Sanji said, "I can die without regrets."
Zoro: —
"Then you should just die," Zoro said with a look of disgust.
"What did you say, you green algae head!"
"You're such a perverted kappa!"
"Do you want to fight?!"
Come on!
"Ping pong..."
And so, the two of them started fighting again in the snow.
west Yan, who had taken in both of their reactions, had a twitching mouth.
They really never forget to have a fight, no matter what.
"It seems these two little ones are still as energetic as ever," Xia Qi said with a smile.
west Yan smiled upon hearing this, and then intended to ask Xia Qi why she had come to see him, but before he could speak, Brooke leaned over and said, "Um... Miss Xia Qi, I wonder what color you're wearing today..."
"Get out of here!"
What kind of stupid question is that?!
"Ah, what I'm wearing today is..."
"Hey, Sister Xiaqi!"
west Yan stared blankly at the Den Den Mushi. What was wrong with this older sister?
"Hehe, just teasing him," Xia Qi said with a chuckle.
west Yan:
west Yan glanced at Brook, who was now lying happily on the ground, and his lips twitched slightly.
As expected of Sister Xia Qi, she was able to make this nearly 100-year-old man lie on the ground with just a slight move.
Yes, it's very powerful.
After shaking his head, west Yan sat down on a nearby rock while carrying the two Den Den Mushi (snail phones), and then said, "Tell me, Xia Qi-nee, what did you want to see me about?"
"Of course, I have some interesting information to tell you," Shakky said, flicking her cigarette ash. "You should be interested in these."
Upon hearing this, west Yan's eyes immediately lit up.
"Have you discovered the whereabouts of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit?"
"No, not at all." Shakky shook her head and said, "I've been searching for the whereabouts of the Magnet Fruit for two years, but I haven't been able to find any information about it."
It's unclear whether it was hidden away or whether the Devil Fruit simply never managed to be reborn on this ocean.
But neither of these scenarios is good news for her.
"I hadn't noticed it before..."
west Yan looked somewhat disappointed and said, "I thought we had received news about this fruit."
This Devil Fruit is a perfect fit for Franky. Once he gets it, he's confident he can get Franky to eat it!
As for Franky's resistance to becoming a landlubber?
Don't be ridiculous, what man would refuse to transform himself?
With the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, Franky can transform himself using steel, which is much more interesting than the robot he was researching!
As for repairing the ship, that's easy to solve; just have Mary send the ship into the sky.
It's no big deal!
"I know you really want that, but it's not something you can rush," Shakky said. "You just have to take it slow."
"Yes, I know."
west Yan knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, so he stopped worrying about it.
Then, west Yan continued, "What's the news about Sister Xia Qi?"
"There are a few pieces of news."
"First, let's talk about Blackbeard," Shakky said with a grave expression. "On the very day you went to Fishman Island, he gathered a large number of his men and went to Beehive Island, where they engaged in a life-or-death battle with Wang Zhi on Beehive Island."
"Finally... they killed this legendary pirate and took over Beehive Island."
"Honeycomb Island..."
Listening to Xia Qi's account, west Yan stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "If I remember correctly, Beehive Island is the territory of the legendary Locusts, right?"
He remembered that his mother-in-law had casually mentioned this matter when they were chatting.
"Ah, that was certainly true in the past." Shakky exhaled a smoke ring and said with a melancholy expression, "Back when Rocks was still alive, Beehive Island truly belonged to him."
At that time, no pirate dared to defy Rocks, so the island naturally belonged to Rocks.
"If that's the case..."
west Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Is Blackbeard trying to use Rocks' name to become one of the Four Emperors?"
No, that's not the case.
Shaki shook her head and said, "First of all, not many people in the world know about Lox, and secondly..."
The World Government wouldn't allow this guy's name to appear on the high seas.
For the World Government, the name Rocks is an absolute taboo!
Therefore, the World Government will not allow Blackbeard to use the name Rocks.
"So what was this guy's purpose in attacking Beehive Island?"
"Because I want to become one of the Four Emperors."
west Yan:
Hearing Xia Qi's words, west Yan was completely speechless.
Isn't this all for the sake of becoming one of the Four Emperors?
As if she could read west Yan's mind, Xia Qi smiled and said, "He does want to become one of the Four Emperors, but not by using Rocks' name."
"you mean..."
As if he had understood something, west Yan's eyes lit up and he said, "Blackbeard wants to use Wang Zhi's life to achieve his own goals?"
"That's right, that's exactly it."
"Does Wang Zhi really have this effect?"
"have."
Shakky said with a complicated expression, "Because this guy was a member of the Rocks Pirates!"
Upon hearing this, west Yan immediately understood why the other party had done this.
Defeating that legendary great pirate would mean that Blackbeard possesses immense power!
Just like Smoker, didn't he also get the title of Admiral candidate because he defeated the legendary pirate, World Destroyer Wald?
Therefore, he believed that the black beard was the same.
In addition, Beehive Island holds special significance...
"No wonder Blackbeard chose this guy as his opponent," west Yan said, stroking his chin. "Defeating a legend of an era is indeed the best choice."
"Is that guy named Wang Zhi really that powerful?" Brooke asked curiously. "I've never even heard of him before."
Hearing Brooke's words, Shakky immediately showed a helpless expression.
"If I remember correctly, you said you had been dead for 50... no, including the two years that followed, it should be 52 years."
"Yes, that's right." Brooke nodded frankly and said, "I have indeed been dead for 52 years."
"Then it's normal that you don't know him," Shakky said. "After all, you were already dead when he became famous."
Brooke: ...
That's true, but it sounds so awkward.
I'm so sorry he died so young...
"Mr. Soul King, I wasn't trying to tease you," Shakky said. "I was just stating a fact."
"I know, Miss Shaki."
Brooke, having regained her composure, said with a smile, "It's alright, you guys continue."
So what if he died a little too young? It's no big deal. After all... he's been resurrected, hasn't he?
Xia Qi smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "In short... Wang Zhi is indeed a guy who's quite suitable to take action against."
"Did that Blackbeard guy become one of the Four Emperors?"
Upon hearing this, Zoro and Sanji, who were fighting, stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiyan with serious expressions.
Four Emperors?
This is no lighthearted topic...
"Yes, he's become one of the Four Emperors now," Shakky said. "It's already in today's newspapers."
"But... judging from your appearance, you probably didn't manage to buy a newspaper."
"No, there really isn't."
west Yan said, "We've come to an island called Punk Hazard. The environment here is extremely harsh, so we haven't encountered any newsbirds."
He figured that newsbirds probably wouldn't come to such a dangerous area, so it was normal that they couldn't buy newspapers.
"Punk Hazard?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Qi's eyes as she asked, "How did you end up there?"
"This place is full of poison gas."
She knew about the gas leak at Punk Hazard, so she knew it was not a place suitable for human habitation.
What are west Yan and the others doing there?
Did I wander in by mistake?
"Then you're mistaken," west Yan shook his head and said, "Not only is there no poisonous gas here now, but it has also become a special island where both Iceland and Fire Island coexist."
"Iceland and Fire Island?"
Several question marks immediately popped up above Xia Qi's head. Why would these two special attributes come together?
Is this reasonable?
Even she had never heard of this special island.
"You must be very curious, right?" west Yan laughed, "Curious about why this situation is happening here."
"I am indeed very curious."
Xia Qi nodded obediently. Given her relationship with west Yan, she wasn't embarrassed at all.
"Do you still remember what you told me about the competition for the title of general?" west Yan said.
Upon hearing this, Xia Qi immediately understood what west Yan meant.
"You mean..." Shakky said, her eyes flashing, "Punk Hazard is the place where Akainu and Aokiji fought?"
No wonder this island has an iceberg on one side and a volcano on the other; it turns out it's the result of the battle between those two people!
That's true. Logia-type ability users, when they develop their abilities to the extreme, could potentially cause such an effect.
Thinking of this, Xia Qi felt a surge of emotion.
"As expected of a Navy Admiral."
He can easily change the climate of an island... No wonder he's a monster.
"This is indeed the scene of their duel," west Yan nodded and said.
This was said by Teabeard himself, and the other party had no reason to fabricate such a lie, so there shouldn't be any problem.
"But there's one thing I'm curious about," Shakky said, "how did they manage to fight for ten days and ten nights on this poisonous island?"
Did the Navy use some method to temporarily dispel the poison gas while they were fighting?
"No, by the time they fought, the poison gas on the island had almost completely dissipated," west Yan said. "The poison gas disappeared?"
Xia Qi was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Isn't it said that the poison gas on that island won't disappear for a hundred years?"
Why did it suddenly disappear?
Could it have been Vegapunk who did it?
If you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.
After all... that guy was a genius scientist!
With his abilities, purifying the poison gas on an island shouldn't be a problem.
"According to someone called Teabeard, the poisonous gas on this island was purified by a guy named Caesar before Akainu and Aokiji fought," Xi Yan said. "I don't know what method he used to turn this island into one suitable for human habitation."
He had no idea how the other party did it, since he wasn't a scientist.
