Chapter 286 west Yan's Decision: Let's Go Big!
"Those of you who participated in the Marine Headquarters War should know just how strong the world's top fighters truly are," Rayleigh said. "Think carefully: with your current strength, can you possibly withstand them?!"
After speaking, Lei Lili paused for a moment, then looked at west Yan, who seemed about to say something, and continued, "A good partner that can be protected?"
Upon hearing this, west Yan's words, which had just reached his throat, were abruptly cut off.
Yes, a good partner that can be protected?
If he were to fight one of the Four Emperors, he would have no problem at all. After all... even if he couldn't kill the opponent, the opponent couldn't kill him either!
But what about his companions?
Are his companions capable of taking on an enemy with a bounty exceeding $10 billion?
Can they handle a second admiral?
Thinking of this, west Yan immediately fell silent.
"The new world is more dangerous than you imagine," Rayleigh said calmly. "Without sufficient strength, you won't be able to protect your companions."
Luffy fell silent upon hearing this; he couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose his crewmates again.
Seeing that the time was right, Rayleigh said, "I have a suggestion."
1
"Of course, whether or not you want to do it is up to you."
Upon hearing this, west Yan glanced at Luffy, then looked at Rayleigh and said, "Uncle Rayleigh, just say what you want to say, stop beating around the bush."
"You're really impatient," Rayleigh chuckled, then said seriously, "My suggestion is that you refrain from gathering for the time being and instead stop for two years."
"Stop... for two years?"
.
"Yes," Rayleigh nodded. "Use these two years to become stronger. Only then can you survive in a place like the New World."
Rayleigh, who had once ventured into the New World with his companions, knew very well how dangerous such places were.
Therefore, Luffy and his crew must become stronger!
"With a renowned teacher like me here, I can definitely make them stronger within two years!" Rayleigh thought confidently.
As the vice-captain of the Pirate King, he certainly had that confidence.
After hearing Rayleigh's words, Luffy paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, we made a promise to our crewmates."
They'll worry if we don't go.
"And I can't let them wait two years in Sabaody Archipelago for nothing."
That would be so irresponsible!
So they have to go back!
"Is it because they can't send a message to their comrades that they have to go?" Rayleigh thought to himself, noticing the problem.
It seems we need to solve this problem first, otherwise Luffy will never be willing to stop training.
Thinking this through, Rayleigh said, "Then let's hear my second suggestion!"
"A second suggestion?"
A hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of the group, wondering what the man was going to say next.
"Hmm." Rayleigh nodded and said, "The reason you're unwilling to stop is simply because you can't communicate with your comrades."
"But if this problem can be solved, then there won't be any problems."
Upon hearing this, west Yan glanced at Luffy first, then looked at Rayleigh and asked, "How do you plan to resolve this?"
"To be clear, we cannot contact them via Den Den Mushi."
Rayleigh didn't show any surprise upon hearing this, clearly having already guessed it.
Then he said, "The newspapers all know about it, right?"
"We can use newspapers to convey information."
"Using newspapers to convey information?"
A question mark appeared above Luffy's head: Is this even possible?
"That's one way," west Yan said, stroking his chin.
Their actions at Naval Headquarters should have already been reported in the newspapers, so the crew should continue to follow the news.
In this way... everyone should be able to see the message they are sending out.
But now there's a problem: how should we express the information?
If the situation were explained directly, the Navy and the World Government would definitely take action, which could put others' lives in danger, something Xiyan doesn't want to see.
Therefore, we must come up with a solution that only they know.
Thinking of this, west Yan fell into deep thought.
"Newspapers can do this?" Santasonia asked in surprise.
How come she didn't know?
"Why not?" Rayleigh retorted.
If the partners are very familiar with each other, they can convey information in a subtle way!
"Um... what should we do then?"
"That depends on whether they have any secret codes or anything like that," Rayleigh said.
If the Straw Hat Pirates had certain specific codes, it would be much easier to communicate.
Then, Rayleigh looked at Luffy and said, "What's your choice?"
Luffy didn't answer immediately, but instead thought about it seriously.
"Thinking about it carefully... Rayleigh is right."
Although west Yan is very strong, having reached a level where he can fight a Marine Admiral without being defeated, the strength of the others is still too weak.
If they were to go to the New World now, they might become a burden.
"Just like back in the Sabaody Archipelago," Luffy murmured to himself.
Therefore... everyone must continue to become stronger in order to prevent such a thing from happening again!
Thinking of this, Luffy's eyes hardened.
Noticing the change in Luffy's eyes, Rayleigh smiled and said, "Looks like you've made your decision."
"Yes, that's right." Luffy nodded and said, "I've already thought it through."
So what's your decision...?
"
"Let's take a two-year break," Luffy said. "We'll use two years to get stronger!"
He will spend two years training to become strong enough to defeat a Marine Admiral—no, strong enough to defeat any enemy!
"Have you made up your mind yet?" Granny asked, glancing at Luffy.
"Okay, I've made up my mind."
Grandma paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "Yes, that's fine too."
It will be safer to go to the new world after you become stronger.
Moreover...: ...In this way, Xi Yan can stay on their Amazon Lily for two years. Thinking of this, Granny Zha turned her attention to Hancock.
"That excited look in his eyes...just as I expected," Grandma thought to herself.
"Then I'll take this time to hatch the snake eggs," Melly said, wiping her eyes.
Two years is enough time for her to hatch the snake eggs and grow stronger!
"It's not just about hatching snake eggs," Granny Za said. "I'll also use this time to teach you more combat skills."
It's not enough for Xiyan and Luffy to get stronger alone; this little girl, Meili, also needs to get stronger!
After all... they are partners who will set sail together!
"Okay, Grandma!" Meili clenched her little fists and said, "I want to get stronger too!!"
She didn't want to be a burden to the team anymore; she wanted to protect her teammates!
Seeing Mary's adorable appearance, the others immediately burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"So, what method do you plan to use to transmit the information?" Marigold asked. "A code?"
"Word?"
"Or are there certain numbers?"
"this....
?
Upon hearing Marigold's words, Luffy and his two companions immediately stopped what they were doing and all showed thoughtful expressions.
"I remember we said we'd meet again in three days when we left, right?" west Yan said.
Uncle Rayleigh said that the coating would take three days, so they decided to meet up in three days.
"You mean..." Luffy frowned, thought for a moment, then flashed with light and said, "I know what to do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy wrote four numbers on the table with water.
3D2Y!
However, in 3D, Luffy drew an X and crossed out the number.
This means the three-day meeting plan has been cancelled and will now be rescheduled for two years later!
"That's a simple and clear way of expressing it," Rayleigh said, stroking his chin.
Santasonia looked puzzled and asked, "Are you so sure they can understand it?"
If she didn't know what was going on, she wouldn't be able to understand what Straw Hat Boy's purpose was in doing that.
"They definitely can!" Luffy said firmly, "They'll understand what I mean!"
Having spent so much time together, you must be able to figure out what he means!
Santasonia paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Okay... I hope they can understand."
"So how do you plan to get this information into the newspaper?" the old woman asked. "My idea is to go to Marine Headquarters," Rayleigh said.
"This will definitely be photographed by reporters and printed in the newspaper."
After all... these two guys are definitely people who generate buzz!
"Go to the Navy Headquarters?" Grandma frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that Sengoku and the others will block you?"
Although the Navy Headquarters suffered heavy losses after this war, those admirals are still alive!
"They don't have time to bother me right now," Ridley said with a smirk.
If I'm not mistaken, this period of the Warring States period should be when he was being scolded in Mary Geoise.
After all... that guy has to take responsibility for the ceasefire!
Mother-in-law: ? ? ?
Grandma looked at Rayleigh with a puzzled expression, not understanding why this guy was so confident.
Was he so sure that Sengoku wouldn't team up with Garp to keep the three of them here?
Just then, west Yan said, "Actually, there's no need to go to Marine Headquarters."
"What do you mean?" Rayleigh asked, puzzled. "Do you have some other plan?"
If west Yan really had other options, he wouldn't bother going to a dangerous place like the Marine Headquarters.
"I want to do something big!" west Yan said, his eyes gleaming.
Rayleigh: ? ? ?
What does "make a big splash" mean?
Ignoring Rayleigh's reaction, west Yan turned to Luffy and said, "Luffy, this time I might make a big fuss, is that alright?"
"Hahaha, go for it, Xiyan!" Luffy said with a loud laugh.
Although he didn't know what west Yan was planning to do, as the captain, he was willing to share the burden with him!
"Okay~"
Looking at Luffy's smiling face, west Yan's lips gradually curled up.
"What do you want to do?" Granny Za asked west Yan with a puzzled look.
"I'm going to Mary Geoise!"
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of shock, clearly not expecting west Yan to say such a thing.
Hancock, who had been staring blankly at Xiyan, also reacted the same way after hearing Xiyan's words.
"Um?"
Margaret, who had returned with the tea, swallowed hard and asked, "Wh...what's wrong?"
Why is everyone suddenly silent?
"West...Westflame," Hancock said. "You're planning to go."
"Ah, that's right, that's the place." Xi Yan said with a glint in his eyes, "I'm going to cause some trouble there."
"And while we're at it... take care of a few Celestial Dragons!"
Hancock fell silent upon hearing this, then tears welled up in her eyes.
Is west Yan trying to avenge me?
Her man is so good to her!
"west Yan!!"
"Brother-in-law..."
Seeing Xiyan looking at Hancock with a gentle expression, Santa Sokoya and Marigold also began to wipe away their tears.
"No wonder you said the commotion was a bit loud," Ridley said.
If we go to Mary Geoise and cause a huge ruckus, and kill a few Celestial Dragons along the way... wouldn't that be a big commotion?!
If it were done, it would be a world-shaking event!
Luffy, with a look of sudden realization, said, "Oh, so we're going to beat up the Celestial Dragons."
"Is there a problem?" west Yan raised an eyebrow.
"No problem!" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth. "Just go for it!"
He had no liking for those damn Celestial Dragons, so naturally he had no scruples.
Let west Yan do what he wants!
"I know you want to avenge Hancock and the others, but you also need to think about your own safety," Grandma said earnestly. "What if you get hurt there?"
Hancock had finally found her home, and she didn't want him to die like that.
Upon hearing Grandma's words, Hancock immediately stopped crying.
Then, looking at Xi Yan, she said, "Grandma is right, I don't agree to you going there."
"This is west Yan's decision, why do you disagree?"
Luffy looked at Hancock with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she would say such things.
Hancock ignored Luffy and stared intently into Xiyan's eyes, waiting for his answer.
"I know your concerns," west Yan said, "but have you all forgotten my abilities?"
"I am immortal!"
As he spoke, west Yan activated the power of his right eye: Qi Du Yu Xu Zun!
"Clang~"
Suddenly, west Yan picked up the grass sword and stabbed himself, piercing his heart!
"puff!"
Everyone:
Is it really necessary to demonstrate this to them?
"ah!!"
"Why...Why did Lord Xiyan commit suicide?!"
Margaret looked at west Yan with horror, not understanding why he wanted to commit suicide.
"Don't worry, I won't die," west Yan said calmly.
As he spoke, west Yan calmly drew his grass sword without changing his expression.
Margaret:
Isn't this guy being a little too hard on himself?
"This is a fatal wound, this..."
"A mere fatal wound, a minor problem," west Yan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, west Yan's body twisted and vanished from the spot.
When it reappeared, its body had already returned to its original state.
"error?!"
Looking at the completely undamaged Xiyan, Margaret looked shocked and said, "It's...it's healed?"
Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?
Was the fatal wound healed so easily?
"I told you, I am immortal," west Yan said. "So you don't need to worry about my safety."
"Immortality..."
Grandma muttered, "Then there's really no need to worry about your safety."
At least this guy won't die in Mary Geoise.
"The security issue is guaranteed, but have you thought about another problem?" Ridley said.
"Another question?"
"Hmm." Rayleigh nodded. "Once you escape Mary Geoise alive, the World Government will begin searching for you worldwide. At that time..."
Although Rayleigh didn't finish his sentence, the others understood what he meant.
Who knows, the world government might search this place someday!
"Don't worry, I've already figured out a solution to this problem," west Yan said.
Seeing west Yan's mysterious expression, Rayleigh subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
Could it be that this kid has some special ability?
Thinking about this, Rayleigh fell into deep thought.
