Chapter 347 A Long-Awaited Reunion, west Yan, Well Done!
"Is this the place?"
Looking up at the tavern with the sign that read "Shakky Knocks on the Bamboo Bar," Nico Robin said, "That's the place west Yan mentioned."
After thinking for a moment, Nicole Robin decided to go in and check the situation.
Just then, two shouts came from behind.
"Hello!!"
"Robin!!"
"Um?"
Nico Robin paused for a moment upon hearing the two familiar voices, then turned around with a look of surprise, as if she had remembered something, and exclaimed, "Chopper, Usopp!!"
"Hahaha, it really is Robin!!"
After confirming it was Nico Robin, the two of them immediately burst into laughter.
Usopp then sped up and quickly rode his bike up to Nico Robin.
"It's been a long time, Robin!" Chopper exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah, long time no see."
Nicole Robin smiled and nodded, then said, "How have you been these past two years?"
"It's alright, it's alright." Chopper grinned, showing his teeth. "I've gotten a lot stronger!"
"That's great."
Nico Robin smiled and patted Chopper's head, then glanced at Usopp and said, "And you?"
"Me too."
Usopp gave Nico Robin a thumbs-up and said, "I'm a hundred times stronger than I used to be!"
Nico Robin's smile widened upon hearing this, and she said, "It seems everyone has been training very hard these past two years."
"Of course."
Usopp crossed his arms and said, "In order to help Luffy, we have to be as strong as monsters!"
Usopp knew very well what they were about to face, so... they had to be strong enough!
"That's true," Nicole Robin laughed.
After speaking, Nico Robin paused for a moment, then said, "Then Xiyan, he..."
"Don't worry," Usopp said, "he's still alive."
Nicole Robin nodded in agreement; that was pretty much what she had guessed.
Then she said, "Let's go in and see what's going on. If all our friends have arrived, we'll go to the ship to meet up."
"good!"
"I wonder where Robin is," Nami said, fiddling with the Devil Fruit in her hand.
"It should be soon," west Yan said.
Nami nodded, then looked at the Devil Fruit in her hand and said, "If Usopp and the others don't plan to eat this,..."
What are you going to do about it?
"If you're not going to eat it, then sell it," west Yan said to Xia Qi. "I'll have my clone deliver the Devil Fruit later."
Although the price of unrecorded Devil Fruits isn't as high as I imagined, it's better than nothing. "No problem, leave it to me," Shakky nodded.
She has helped Xiyan deal with a lot of good stuff in the past two years, so getting rid of these three Devil Fruits shouldn't be a problem.
"Are Devil Fruits with unknown abilities valuable?" Perona asked curiously.
"Even without knowing her abilities, the starting bid should be at least 100 million," Shakky said. "If the market is good, it could even sell for several hundred million Berries."
"I didn't know abilities could be so valuable?" Perona asked in surprise.
"Of course," Shakky said. "Although there's an element of gambling involved, if you bet right, you'll gain an incredibly powerful ability!"
"So quite a few people are willing to buy these Devil Fruits and take a gamble."
If one could truly acquire a powerful ability, the user would instantly become a powerful being!
This is also why people are willing to spend a lot of money to gamble.
What if you lose the bet?
If you lose a bet, you can only blame your bad luck.
Perona thought for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Several hundred million Berries could buy a really powerful Devil Fruit, but instead you're gambling that money on an unknown ability?"
"That's true, but powerful Devil Fruit abilities generally cost over 500 million Berries," Shakky said. "Moreover, Devil Fruits are often priceless and unavailable."
Firstly, powerful abilities are very expensive; secondly, this kind of thing can't be bought with money alone!
Sometimes, even a billion Berries might not be enough to buy a Devil Fruit!
This is one of the reasons why everyone acts decisively when they see a Devil Fruit.
Perona paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."
Devil Fruits are something that money can't always buy, so it's normal for people to be willing to spend money to gamble on their abilities.
Just then, the door behind them was suddenly pushed open, and three people walked in one after another.
"Robin, Usopp, Chopper!"
Upon seeing the three people enter, everyone in the room immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight!
After closing the door behind them, the three of them smiled and greeted everyone.
"Everyone!"
"Long time no see~"
Nico Robin, taking in the sights of her companions, had a bright smile on her face.
However, she paused for a moment when she saw west Yan, then thought to herself, "This... this is west Yan, right?"
Although her appearance has changed a lot, she still feels like that person.
Before Nico Robin could say anything, Chopper suddenly darted out and leaped towards Xiyan.
"west Yan!!"
Seeing Chopper rushing towards him, west Yan instinctively reached out and caught him, then said, "It's me. Why are you crying?"
Chopper, his eyes brimming with tears, looked up at Xiyan and said, "I thought you were dead..."
When he saw the newspaper, his heart broke, and he cried for half a day before he recovered.
That's why he made up his mind to transform himself into an incredibly powerful monster!
Seeing Chopper's teary eyes, west Yan felt a warmth in his heart, then reached out and ruffled the little guy's hair, saying, "Don't worry,"
No one in this world can kill me.
"Um.
Seeing this, west Yan smiled and then placed him on the stool.
"Chopper..." Nami looked at Chopper and said, "Why do you think Xiyan is dead?"
"Because I saw it in the newspaper."
Chopper raised his head and looked at Nami, saying, "The newspaper said Xiyan is dead, so I..."
Hearing Chopper's words, Nami paused for a moment, then shook her head helplessly and said, "Have you forgotten what the newspapers called Xiyan before?"
"An immortal ninja, huh?!"
"How could someone with such a title like Xiyan be killed by the World Government?"
Nami paused for a moment before continuing, "Anyway, I don't believe it."
"Huh?"
Chopper paused for a moment, then turned to Nico Robin and said, "Robin, is that what you think too?"
"Um."
Chopper:
After a moment of silence, Chopper said, "So, everyone believes that Xiyan is still alive?"
"Yes."
"Eh!!!"
Chopper stared blankly and said, "Then...then does that make me an idiot?!"
Nobody believed west Yan was dead, but he was the only one who did. This...
"How could Chopper be an idiot?" west Yan chuckled, ruffling Chopper's hair. "You're just letting your concern cloud your judgment."
west Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with Chopper like this; on the contrary, he thought Chopper's innocent nature was adorable.
"Is...is that so?" Chopper asked, puzzled.
"That's right!" west Yan nodded seriously and said, "Our Chopper isn't stupid!"
Hehe~
After receiving an affirmative answer, Chopper's smile returned.
Seeing this, west Yan smiled, then looked at Usopp and Nico Robin and said, "What are you all standing there for? Sit down."
"oh oh."
Usopp, regaining his senses, nodded and then sat down on the sofa next to him.
"Everyone seems to have gotten stronger."
Luffy, having taken in the three of them, grinned broadly.
"Of course!" Usopp made a powerful gesture and grinned, "I'm a hundred times stronger than I used to be!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy struck a similarly strong pose and replied, "Me too!"
The two looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha"
Then, Usopp looked at the Devil Fruit in Nami's hand and said, "Nami, that's a Devil Fruit in your hand, isn't it?" As someone who had eaten a Devil Fruit, he knew very well what it was.
Nico Robin was also staring curiously at Nami's hand, clearly not expecting that the other party would get a... wait, there were two Devil Fruits on the table!
Nico Robin's eyes lit up with surprise when she discovered two more Devil Fruits on the table.
Why are there three Devil Fruits?
"That's right." Nami raised her hand to show the Devil Fruit in her hand and said, "This is a Devil Fruit."
"Where did it come from?"
"Of course we stole them," Nami said, looking at Xiyan beside her. "These Devil Fruits were all stolen by Xiyan from Mary Geoise."
"These?"
Usopp paused for a moment, then noticed the other two Devil Fruits placed on the table.
Usopp: !!
There are three!
Nico Robin looked at Xi Yan in surprise and said, "You went to Mary Geoise... besides publishing the newspaper, you also went to steal Devil Fruits?"
"To be precise, it was incidental."
west Yan explained, "My main purpose in causing chaos in Mary Geoise was to convey a message to you; the Devil Fruit was secondary."
If we could get our hands on a Devil Fruit, that would be ideal; if not, then so be it.
"So that's how it is..."
Nico Robin nodded, then said, "So you managed to steal those Devil Fruits there, right?"
"It's not just about Devil Fruits."
west Yan crossed his arms and raised his head slightly, saying, "I also looted quite a bit of treasure in Mary Geoise."
Upon hearing the word "treasure," Nami's eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.
Nico Robin, who had taken in Nami's reaction, immediately showed curiosity in her eyes.
How much money did west Yan steal to elicit such a reaction from Nami?
Before she could even speak, Usopp asked first, "How much did you manage to grab?"
"Hmm... I currently have around 30 billion Pele."
Nico Robin: !!!
Usopp: !!
Chopper: !!!
The three of them stared at west Yan in astonishment, clearly not expecting him to report such a terrifying number.
"Steal...steal the young master?!" Usopp exclaimed in shock as he looked at Xiyan.
"Three hundred billion."
Upon hearing this, Usopp was immediately rendered speechless.
Three hundred billion...that's a lot of money!
"You actually stole so much money in Mary Geoise?!" Chopper looked at Xiyan in shock and said, "..."
That could buy so many cotton candies!
west Yan: ? ? ?
Is that how it's described?
After a moment of silence, west Yan replied earnestly, "It'll definitely be enough for you to eat for a lifetime."
"Wow...that's amazing!" Chopper exclaimed, his eyes shining as he looked at Xiyan.
Although he didn't know what 30 billion Pele meant, being able to eat cotton candy for a lifetime was definitely an impressive number!
Thinking about this, Chopper became excited.
Nicole Robin, who had just been pondering what west Yan had done, spoke up at this moment: "You robbed Mary Geoise's vault?"
"How is that possible?" west Yan rolled his eyes and said, "If they really robbed the World Government's main treasury, there wouldn't be so little money left."
"I robbed the Celestial Dragons' treasure vault."
"The Celestial Dragons' treasure trove..." Nico Robin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then revealed a look of disgust and said, "It seems the Celestial Dragons are even richer than we imagined."
Having lived with the revolutionaries for two years, I know very well how the Celestial Dragons acquired their wealth.
So she really hated those guys.
"What's wrong with you?"
west Yan looked at Nico Robin with a puzzled expression. Why did her expression suddenly change?
"I lived with revolutionaries for two years, so I know very well where the Celestial Dragons get their money," Nico Robin said.
Upon hearing this, west Yan immediately understood what Nico Robin meant.
Now you understand the influence of celestial gold on this world.
Before west Yan could say anything, Nicole Robin gave him a thumbs up and said, "Well done!"
west Yan smiled upon hearing this and said, "I not only robbed them, but I also killed seven Celestial Dragons along the way."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Then Usopp said, "Does that mean we're going to be hunted down by the Marine Admirals again?"
If that's really the case, then they need to be mentally prepared.
"Don't worry," west Yan reassured him. "Right now, I'm considered 'dead' by the World Government, so as long as I don't expose myself, they won't send a large army to annihilate us."
As he spoke, west Yan took out his sunglasses and put them on.
He then continued, "See? Now you can't recognize me anymore, can you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone carefully examined west Yan, then nodded and said, "Indeed."
If west Yan hadn't just taken off his sunglasses, they might not have been able to recognize who he was.
In this way, the World Government will be even less likely to recognize west Yan's true identity!
