Chapter 141 Chopper's Horrified Look, A Celestial Dragon?!
"Where are the others?" west Yan asked.
"Our people have already gone to pick them up."
Hearing what Luo Er said, west Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
They were smart enough to gather them together first.
That way, even if something unexpected happens, they can work together.
"west Yan, you just said you had a way, right?" Nami asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"Um?"
Luo Eryi glanced back at Xi Yan, wondering if the other party had some special intelligence channels in the Xiangbo Island archipelago.
If that's the case...
Why is Young Master Blackfoot still looking for them?
"There is indeed a way."
"Nami, do you have a Den Den Mushi?"
"Of course." Nami took a Den Den Mushi from her pocket and handed it to Xiyan, saying, "Here, take this."
"I just bought this on the shopping street."
Although they had a public Den Den Mushi on board, it was still far too few.
So when she saw the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) for sale, she bought one.
"Where did you... pull this out from...?" west Yan's lips twitched.
Do these guys all have built-in dimensional pockets?
Kalifa was like that before, and so was Nami... For a moment, west Yan didn't know what to say.
"Stop talking nonsense and do what you need to do!" Nami said irritably.
Is this the time to care about such things?
"it is good."
Without further ado, west Yan took the Den Den Mushi and placed it in front of him. Then he took out the white Den Den Mushi from his pocket and placed it next to the regular Den Den Mushi.
"A white... Den Den Mushi?" Nami looked at the Den Den Mushi below and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen this color."
Upon hearing this, Lor turned around and looked back in surprise; he had never seen a Den Den Mushi like this before.
"Is there anything special about this Den Den Mushi?"
"It can prevent eavesdropping."
Lor: ? ? ?
Den Den Mushi: Hasn't it been eavesdropped on yet?
This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.
"The Navy has a black Den Den Mushi that can be used for eavesdropping," west Yan explained. "And this white Den Den Mushi is used to prevent eavesdropping."
As they were talking, west Yan was also fiddling with the number on the Den Den Mushi, intending to contact Xia Qi right now.
"This thing must be very expensive..." Lor swallowed.
"Ah, it's only worth a few hundred million Berries."
"!"
The moment Nami heard west Yan's words, her expression changed.
It was as if what lay before Xiyan wasn't a Den Den Mushi, but hundreds of millions of Berries!!
"west Yan..."
"You can't sell this, you money-grubber!" west Yan said irritably. "This isn't something money can buy."
"There aren't many in the whole world."
However, west Yan's words did not calm Nami down; instead, they made her even more agitated.
"If we could raise offspring..."
Shi Xiyan: ? ? ?
"You really never forget about money," Xi Yan retorted, shaking his head. He continued, "Alright, we'll talk about this when we get back to the ship. There's no time to discuss this now."
The most urgent task is to find Mary and the others.
Nami nodded and didn't say anything more.
Just like west Yan said, there's nothing we want to do... but we'll talk about it after we get back to the ship!
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Um?"
"Why haven't you answered the phone for so long?" west Yan said, frowning.
Could it be that Sister Xiaqi is too busy right now and doesn't have time to answer the phone?
Seeing west Yan frown, Nami's heart skipped a beat.
"Can't get in touch?"
"Uncertain..."
"Kaka~"
Before Xiyan could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi was connected.
"Feed?"
"bump!"
"ah!!"
Along with Xia Qi's voice, there was also a man's scream.
It was obvious that the other person was being beaten up by Xia Qi.
Nami:? ? ?
What does this mean? Why is there another man's scream?
It sounds like... he got beaten up pretty badly.
"Sister Xia Qi, it's me, west Yan." west Yan said, "Someone's been trying to cause you trouble again?"
Hearing the screams from inside, west Yan thought of the first time he met Xia Qi, who was also beating someone up back then.
It has to be said, they were really ruthless.
"Oh, it's Xiao Xiyan~" Xia Qi smiled and said, "Yes, there are indeed two disobedient brats coming to cause trouble."
"Wait a minute, let me throw them out first."
After saying that, Natsuki put down the Den Den Mushi receiver, grabbed the two people on the ground, dragged them out the door, and casually threw them off the ground.
After washing her hands back in her room, Xia Qi picked up the Den Den Mushi again and said, "I was just thinking about how to contact you, but I didn't expect you to contact me first."
After investigating the Charlotte family's purpose in coming to the Sabaody Archipelago, she contacted Rayleigh immediately.
Anyway, with west Yan by Rayleigh's side, there's no need to worry about being eavesdropped on by the white Den Den Mushi.
As a result... Rayleigh said they weren't together, which left Shakky feeling quite helpless.
"Did Sister Xiaqi need something from me?"
west Yan was taken aback. What's wrong?
"Yes, I've figured out why those guys came here," Shakky said. "They really did come to see you."
"You should understand what I mean."
Since those guys came to the island looking for the Straw Hat Pirates, their target must be Little Xiyan.
"Yes, I understand."
west Yan naturally understood what Xia Qi meant; those guys were obviously referring to Katakuri and his group.
I didn't expect Sister Xia Qi to actually go out of her way to investigate... Thinking of this, Xi Yan said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Sister Xia Qi."
Judging from this incident, Xia Qi really considers him a friend, and he has to acknowledge that friendship.
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Xia Qi laughed. "Anyway... you better watch yourself."
"They're not to be trifled with."
Ultimately... the Charlotte family is one of the Four Emperors of the New World, and if they set their sights on you, something irreversible could easily happen.
Although she wasn't particularly afraid of those people, such opponents were still too early for the Straw Hat Pirates.
Therefore, avoiding conflict is the best approach.
"I've already met them."
"You encountered it?"
Xia Qi paused for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "Then it seems my information came too late..."
So west Yan has already made contact with the Charlotte family... I just don't know what exactly happened between them.
They didn't fight, did they?
Thinking of this, a trace of worry appeared in Xia Qi's eyes.
"No, I'm still very grateful to Sister Xiaqi."
Perhaps fearing that Xia Qi would worry, west Yan added, "Don't worry, there was no conflict between us."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qi's eyes showed a hint of doubt. How come there was no conflict?
Could it be that west Yan has agreed to become Charlotte Lingling's son-in-law?
That doesn't make sense either. This kid doesn't seem like the type to betray the Straw Hat Pirates.
Xia Qi was quite confident in her judgment.
"Could it be... that the Four Emperors have become more agreeable?"
However, this thought only lasted for a moment before Xia Qi extinguished it.
Can the Four Emperors' crew become more agreeable?
Unless the sun rises in the west!
Charlotte Linlin is notoriously unreasonable. She'll kill anyone who doesn't attend her tea party invitations, let alone when it comes to finding a son-in-law.
So, what exactly happened?
"Sister Xia Qi, this matter is a bit complicated to explain, let's talk about it later," west Yan said. "I have something else I'd like to ask for your help with right now."
"Hehe, go ahead and say it."
Xia Qi chuckled and lit a cigarette for herself, then said, "Since Little west Yan has come to me for help, I will definitely help you."
Since west Yan took the initiative to speak up, she naturally had to intervene.
"Kemi and Meli were kidnapped by human traffickers."
"Click~"
Upon hearing this, Xia Qi immediately stubbed out her cigarette, her face darkening as she said, "Kidnapped by human traffickers?"
"Yes."
Xia Qi paused for a moment, then rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
It seems there's a problem with Little Monkey and his friends.
If you think about it carefully, amusement parks are indeed the easiest places for human traffickers to strike.
"Sister Xiaqi, could you get them their spots?"
"Give me your Den Den Mushi number, I'll contact you in five minutes," Shakky said.
"OK."
Without further ado, west Yan gave Xia Qi the number written on the new Den Den Mushi, and then Xia Qi hung up the phone.
"Human traffickers... they really are disgusting," Xia Qi said with a stern face.
While speaking, her hands didn't stop; she quickly dialed a Den Den Mushi number.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Kaka~"
The man who answered the phone said in a low voice, "Please give your instructions."
Clearly, he knew who was calling him.
"I've lost a young female mermaid and a little girl. They were kidnapped by human traffickers. Find their location as quickly as possible," Shakky said. "You only have five...four and a half minutes."
"clear!"
Without uttering a single word, the other party hung up the phone and rushed out.
After all... four and a half minutes is still too short.
Looking at the Den Den Mushi in front of her that had started eating, Shakky said, "I hope they haven't gone to the auction yet..."
Otherwise, you might encounter Celestial Dragons.
After all... mermaids are a very popular species on land!
Thinking of this, Xia Qi sighed silently.
"What do we do now?"
Seeing Xiyan hang up the phone, Nami asked, "Should we wait?"
"Of course not." west Yan shook his head, then looked at Luo Er and said, "Hey, Flying Fish Knights, you used to be in this line of work, so you should know the ins and outs of it."
"Have your people gone to search for it?"
Xia Qi's direction is one way, and the Flying Fish Knights' direction is another.
"We're just catching pirates..." Lor said. "Also, we've changed our name."
The Flying Fish Knights... that was their old name, okay? They're the Rose-Colored Life Knights now!
"Does that matter?" west Yan said irritably, "Get to the point!"
Seeing that west Yan didn't intend to waste time talking to him, Luo Er nodded and said, "Yes, I've already gone to look for it."
"While bringing you together, we are also inquiring about this from other kidnapping groups."
Of course, they weren't that fast.
"Who was that person they just contacted...?" Lor wondered to himself.
How could the other side only need five minutes to handle what happened in the Sabaody Archipelago?
This intelligence gathering ability is terrifying.
That makes sense. This ninja has a bounty of 4 million Berries, so it's normal for him to know someone like that.
"Okay, I understand."
Just then, two more flying fish motorcycles flew in from a distance.
"Feed~"
"west Yan!"
"Nami!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing the sound, west Yan turned to the side and immediately saw two familiar figures.
"Chopper, Hachi!"
"Whoosh~"
Soon, the three flying fish motorcycles gathered together and flew side by side in the sky.
"Xiyan..." Chopper cried, "Merry and the others are gone..."
Xiao Ba also looked pained, clearly feeling extremely guilty.
"If it weren't for my carelessness..."
"I already know what happened," west Yan said calmly. "Don't worry, we'll find them."
Seeing the two guys' remorseful expressions, west Yan couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.
"Hmm, Hey, Hachi!"
west Yan glanced at Xiao Ba sitting in his seat and said, "Haven't you thought about going to find Sister Xia Qi?"
"Have you forgotten what she does for a living?"
"Huh?!"
Xiao Ba was stunned for a moment, then his face turned green.
"I'm sorry, I... I didn't expect this..."
He was so anxious at the time that his mind was in a mess and he couldn't even remember to go find Sister Xia Qi.
Looking back now, I think the problem might have been solved if I had contacted Sister Xiaqi immediately.
After all... the other party is an extremely skilled intelligence broker!
"Alright, I've already contacted Sister Xia Qi. Let's wait for news."

"Thank you, Xiyan..."

"Let's talk about that after we find them," west Yan said.
Nami looked at Xiyan with some curiosity. She was quite curious about who this person named Xia Qi was, but given the current special circumstances, she swallowed her words.
"Notify the whole team, I've received the Blood-Eyed Ninja." Lor picked up the microphone and said, "How's it going on your end?"
"Zoro, the Pirate Hunter, has not been found yet."
west Yan: ...
west Yan wore a complicated expression. Where on earth did that guy go?
Didn't we say we were going back to the ship? Did we get lost along the way?
Or is it that... he simply didn't remember where his own ship was, you bastard!
"Then let's keep looking!"
"clear!"
Lor nodded, then asked, "Have you found any news about Miss Mermaid and Miss Melly?"
"No," the bearded man said with a headache. "We've asked several kidnapping groups, but none of them have any information on this."
"Is it possible that they deliberately kept it from you?" Nami suddenly asked.
"That's impossible," the bearded man explained. "Although we only target pirates, we're still in the same line of work, so we don't have any reservations about this kind of thing."
"If they catch a mermaid, they'll definitely show it off to us with great pride."
Since no one would inquire where the other person caught the mermaid, the other person naturally wouldn't have any reservations and would openly tell them.
"Is that so...."
'
"Keep searching," Lor said. "There are only about a dozen human trafficking groups in the Sabaody Archipelago. We can find them by elimination."
"clear!"
"Is it possible that new human traffickers will emerge?" Nami asked.
"No," Lor shook his head and said, "Everyone has a sense of territory. Even if someone wants a piece of the pie, they have to beat some people first."
"We were able to gain a foothold back then because we defeated a lot of people."
Although the Sabaody Archipelago is not small, who would want others to steal their prize?
If it weren't for their powerful fists, they would have been sold out long ago.
"That's good," Nami breathed a sigh of relief. If the quantity could be limited to a certain range, it would be easier to find them.
"I hope Kemi and the others haven't been sent to the auction yet," Xiao Ba said dejectedly.
"How so?"
"I know his concerns," Lor said. "Mermaids are such high-class creatures... they're likely to attract the attention of the Celestial Dragons."
"sky..
Chopper's mouth dropped open. Had he actually attracted the attention of a world noble?
At that moment, Chopper recalled the scene he had witnessed on the street, which made his expression turn grim.
Those terrifying world nobles... they don't care about the lives of others at all!
If Kemi and Meli fell into the hands of this kind of person, they would truly be worse off than dead.
"Celestial Dragons, huh?"
west Yan frowned. Would those arrogant and domineering guys also appear at the auction?
If someone like that goes to the auction, can the event still proceed?
Expecting others to serve you on their knees?
"west Yan, what should we do?"
"Let's wait for Xia Qi's message before we talk about it," west Yan said.
Nami sighed upon hearing this. Now... all she could do was wait.
Five minutes passed quickly, and Xia Qi contacted west Yan right on time.
A hint of joy flashed in Nami's eyes as she watched the Den Den Mushi ring again.
"Quick, Xiyan, the Den Den Mushi is ringing!"
west Yan felt somewhat helpless; it was not like he couldn't see it.
After the call connected, west Yan asked, "Sister Xia Qi, have you found it?"
"I've located the person," Shakky said. "They're at the population auction at Tree One."
Her informant acted very quickly, finding the place selling mermaids in just over four minutes.
This made Xia Qi very satisfied.
"That's great!" Xiao Ba exclaimed with delight, "As expected of Sister Xia Qi!"
The other side found Cammy and Merry's location so quickly... No wonder they're information brokers!
"Is Hachiko here too?"
"Yes, we just met up not long ago," west Yan said. "Thank you, Sister Xia Qi, let's go rescue them right away."
Now that we've located the person, things are much easier.
All that's left is to rescue them.
"Xiao Xiyan, you need to be mentally prepared."
Upon hearing Xia Qi's words, west Yan paused for a moment, and his hand, which was about to hang up the phone, stopped.
What do you mean by "make him mentally prepared"?
Could it be that Mary and the others have already been sold?
Thinking of this, west Yan's expression darkened, and he said, "Sister Xia Qi, could it be that Mei Li and the others have already been bought?"
"No, at least not when I received the news," Xia Qi said in a deep voice. "I want to talk about something else."
"explain!"
"A Celestial Dragon is at Auction House Number One!"
The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
"Celestial Dragons."
Xiao Ba's face turned pale instantly; he knew all too well what this meant.
A hint of fear appeared in Chopper's eyes.
"The one who summoned the Marine Admiral... a Celestial Dragon?"
Is this the terrifying existence they're about to face?
west Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaqi."
"You're welcome. Contact me if you need anything."
"it is good."
Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had been disconnected, west Yan put the Den Den Mushi into his arms without saying a word, his face grim.
"It seems... we need to prepare."
