After calming down, Nami and the other three explained to west Yan why they were there. "So... this is why you came here?" west Yan's lips twitched.
After being chased all the way by a creature resembling Cerberus, and finally escaping, instead of going back to find his companions, he got into a stranger's carriage because of a doctor's name... How can these guys be so easily fooled!
Aren't they afraid that the other party is a bad person?
"Yes, that's it..."
"No, I mean," west Yan retorted, "Chopper and Merry are one thing, but Usopp and Nami, how could you two do something so stupid?"
"Aren't you afraid that outsiders will harm you?"
These two aren't stupid, how could they fall for such a simple trick?
Or perhaps they're just using their brains in a skewed way?
west Yan fell into deep thought when he thought of Nami's shrewdness when money was involved.
"sorry.....
west Yan: .....
These two apologized so sincerely that he really didn't know what to say.
"west Yan, please stop talking about them," Mei Li said softly. "At the time, we didn't know what to do either."
Having been chased by terrifying creatures all the way, they were already doing well to survive; they didn't have the mind to think about anything else.
"You little brat, you have the nerve to plead for them?" west Yan said irritably, "Have you forgotten what you're good at?"
"What can you do?"
"Reverse psychic magic, you little idiot!"
This little guy doesn't know how to use the ninjutsu he just learned not long ago.
If I could communicate with the spirit immediately, I would beat that damn Cerberus to a pulp.
"I'm sorry, I forgot...." Mary lowered her head and said, "I was too scared at the time, so I didn't remember."
She had completely forgotten about it and didn't remember it at all.
Usopp and Chopper exchanged a glance, then said, "We were also at fault for not remembering that."
They were present when Mei learned this ninjutsu, but they were so frightened that they forgot.
"It's not like I'm asking you to hold an apology conference, so why are you apologizing one after another?" west Yan said. "I'm saying this to teach you a lesson. Next time, remember to use the reverse spirit communication technique earlier, understand?"
"Okay!"
"Hmm, very good, as long as you can remember it." west Yan nodded.
He believed that after this experience, Meili would remember that she could reverse psychic abilities.
"Wait, what is this Reverse Summoning Technique?" Nami asked.
Is this some kind of strange ability?
Why do Usopp and Chopper know this, but she doesn't?
"This is a special ninjutsu that Merry learned," Usopp explained. "It can summon West Flame from a distance."
Nami:? ? ?
Nami was dumbfounded when she heard Usopp's explanation.
"Then why didn't you say so sooner!"
Nami was furious. If she had summoned Xiyan earlier, would they have had to be chased all the way by that inhuman toy?
One fire jutsu and he'd be burned to a crisp.
Thinking of this, Nami's chest heaved with anger.
"If west Yan hadn't arrived in time, we might all have been eaten by zombies, you three idiots!"
"bump!"
"sorry.:
Looking at the three people who were speaking so earnestly, Nami sighed, rubbing her forehead. She really should have let Xiyan go with them back then.
"But Nami, why am I the only one getting beaten up?" Usopp, with a large bump on his head, asked, raising his hand.
Do you have a problem with that?
"No.....

Seeing Usopp getting beaten up, west Yan almost burst out laughing.
Nami snorted, then looked at Xiyan and said, "Let's go, Xiyan, let's go back and find Luffy and the others."
.
With west Yan there, they had no problem getting back to the ship.
"Hey... Xiyan..." Chopper suddenly looked up at Xiyan and said, "Could we go see Dr. Hogback first?"
"He is my idol, and I really want to meet him."
After saying that, Chopper turned to look at the castle on the side and said, "We're near the castle now. We might see him if we go in."
Rather than going back to reunite with Luffy and the others, Chopper would rather meet his idol right now.
Anyway, with the powerful ninja Xiyan already present, there won't be any danger.
"Are you sure?" west Yan raised an eyebrow.
"Sure."
"west Yan, did you discover something?" Nami asked.
She keenly sensed that something was wrong with west Yan, as if there was something wrong with this doctor named Hogback.
"Do you think it's reasonable for a so-called world's number one doctor to exist in a place with so many zombies?" west Yan said. "Also, think back carefully, do you remember if there were any stitches on those zombies?"
The zombies he encountered along the way all had strange stitching marks on their bodies, which was probably the reason for their bizarre shapes.
And these... are very likely the work of that doctor.
"This..." Nami hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, I was too scared just now and didn't notice this detail."
With the group of zombies about to pounce on her face, she had no time to pay attention to anything else.
"west Yan is right, there are indeed stitches," Usopp said. "Especially the lion-faced creature I saw, it had even more stitches on it."
"Perhaps it is..."

His expression immediately changed when he thought of a certain possibility about Usopp.
"Could he be playing...?" Chopper's expression changed, then he shook his head and said, "Impossible. Dr. Hogback is a respected doctor. How could he do such a thing?"
"west Yan, this must have been done by someone else."
Chopper didn't want to believe that possibility; he preferred to believe there were other reasons.
"Is that so?" west Yan smiled and said, "Then it seems we'll have to go and see for ourselves to find out the answer."
"Hello!"
"west Yan, are you really going to go?" Nami grabbed west Yan and said, "There are a lot of dangerous zombies here."
"Yeah, Chopper, let's go and meet up with Luffy and the others first," Usopp advised.
"Chopper didn't say anything, but tears welled up in his eyes. He really wanted to see his idol."
"Ordinary zombies aren't much of a threat," west Yan said, glancing at the group. "The real threat is here—that's what I was just about to say."
"What do you mean?"
"I've figured out whose territory this is, and I also know how these zombies got up."
Usopp and Nami exchanged a glance, then said in unison, "Tell me."
"You know the Seven Warlords of the Sea, right?"
Upon hearing this, both of them froze, and Chopper looked on incredulously, saying, "You...you mean..."
"That's right, this is the territory of Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea." Xi Yan raised his head and looked at the tallest building in the distance, saying, "And his purpose in stealing Shadow was to create zombies."
"This is probably why Brook lost his shadow."
"ah!!"
The three of them screamed in fright, then covered their mouths with trembling hands, as if afraid that the Seven Warlords of the Sea would discover them.
The three of them cautiously glanced around, and only after confirming that no one was paying attention did they release their hands from their mouths.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Usopp was trembling, his teeth were chattering, and he could barely speak.
Clearly, the power of these three words is immense.
The last time Luffy encountered one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was in Alabasta, where he almost died at their hands.
And this time...? They've encountered someone of this caliber again?
"Quick...hurry up!!" Nami cried, "Xiyan, take us away quickly!"
Fighting someone of this caliber is not a wise thing to do; it's best to avoid it if possible.
She didn't want to die here at such a young and beautiful age; she had so much more to do.
"Nami," west Yan said, glancing at Nami. "I know you're scared, but being scared won't help."
"From the moment Luffy decided to make Brook our crewmate, we were destined to clash with Moria."
"That's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."
"So what?" west Yan said, "We've even made it through Enies Lobby, the Buster Call couldn't do anything to us!"
"Do you really think... our captain would run away with his tail between his legs just because the other side is a Shichibukai?!"
Nami opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Because she knew that west Yan was right.
She joined the Straw Hat Pirates earlier and understood Luffy's character better than Xiyan did; he wouldn't be afraid just because the enemy was a Shichibukai.
"But we can find Brook's zombies on our own!" Usopp suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "I remember after you killed those zombies, a lot of black things flew out of the ashes; those must have been shadows!"
"That's a good idea." west Yan nodded, then asked, "But here's the problem: how do we find the guy who has Brook's shadow?"
"And... Usopp, do you think Moria would let a pirate who's just walked right into his trap go?"
"You should know what it means when pirates run wild on someone else's territory."
Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately fell silent.
Yes, he knew, of course he knew, that meant a declaration of war!
To be precise, from the moment west Yan killed the zombies, the relationship between the two sides could not be eased.
"And... don't forget how we got here." Xi Yan glanced around and said, "Perhaps we're currently under the surveillance of some special entity."
"For example... that so-called ghost."
"Please, Xiyan, don't scare me anymore..."
Nami almost burst into tears; ghosts are even scarier than zombies, okay?
Meili also looked frightened, grabbing Xiyan's pants and cautiously looking around, afraid that something terrible might rush out.
"I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just stating an objective fact..." Xi Yan paused here, then sighed and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Nami is really timid, even less so than Merry.
At least this girl didn't show any fear when she heard the name of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
I just don't know if she's genuinely unafraid of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, or if she simply doesn't understand the concept.
After shaking his head, west Yan looked down at Chopper and said, "So... Chopper, are you still planning to go see it now?"
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea and all that..." Chopper looked up and said, "Xiyan, I still want to go and see."
"Oh?"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm still scared..." Chopper gritted his teeth and said, "But I'm more curious about whether Dr. Hogback came here voluntarily or was forcibly brought here by that Moria."
"If it's the latter, we can rescue them before the fighting breaks out."
"If it's the former..."
"I will not let him get away with this!"
He couldn't bear to see his idol, Hogback, suffer, so he was willing to risk his life to rescue him.
But if the other party does something that violates medical ethics, then he will definitely beat that bastard to a pulp!
"Then let's go," west Yan said.
As for the matter of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, let another clone deliver the message to Luffy and his crew; this was his idea from the beginning.
After learning about the situation on Ya's side, the clone will go back to find Luffy.
"Chopper... Saiyan..."
"How...how come Mei Li is here too...?"
Usopp and Nami were stunned as they watched the three stride forward. Did the word "fear" not exist in their vocabulary?
"You two, hurry up and follow me."
"But...
"Cheer up, will you?" west Yan said. "Our captain is going to become the Pirate King. What are we, as crew members, afraid of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
"Then we should temporarily avoid confrontation and regroup before..."
west Yan interrupted him directly, saying, "I dare to fight even a general like him, why would I avoid his sharp edge?!"
These words acted like a shot of adrenaline, instantly calming Nami and Usopp down.
Yes, west Yan can not only single-handedly block the Demon Buster Order, but also fight against a Marine Admiral!
If we follow his lead, even the Seven Warlords of the Sea might not be able to do anything to them.
Thinking of this, the two immediately stood up and chased after the three.
"Wait for us!"
The two immediately gave chase, fearing they would really be left behind.
Given their combined strength, going back to the forest would be tantamount to suicide.
They had no confidence that they could survive being devoured by so many terrifying zombies.
"If you two are really scared, I can use my shadow clone to send you back," west Yan suddenly said.
Nami and Usopp exchanged a glance upon hearing this, then looked down at Merry, an image involuntarily appearing in their minds.
(Luffy: Hahaha, you two are even less courageous than Merry?)
"!!!"
"No, absolutely not!" x2
"Is that so?" west Yan said with a smile. "Then let's go."
Seeing the three people walk away without looking back, the two sighed silently and followed them resignedly.
"Aiga~"
west Yan pushed open the steel gate in the courtyard, and the group walked outside the castle.
Looking at the ancient gate not far away, Usopp swallowed hard and said, "There... there shouldn't be any zombies inside, right?"
"Hey, that's hard to say."
Usopp: ...
"west Yan, you didn't actually need to say that."
"I'm telling you to be on your guard!" west Yan said. "Don't forget whose territory this is."
While you may not be afraid, if you lack any awareness, you might still end up making a mistake.
Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately became extremely alert, cautiously looking around, fearing that a zombie might suddenly rush out and bite him.
"Speaking of which, Xiyan, you just said that Moria uses shadows to create zombies..." Usopp said, "So, even if someone gets bitten by a zombie, they won't turn into one?"
"Damn it, don't say such scary things!"
Nami glared at Usopp, her skin crawling with irritation.
"I don't know about that," west Yan said, shrugging. "I don't have any information on that."
"How about... you give it a try?"
A mischievous grin spread across west Yan's face as he looked at Usopp with a chuckle.
"Who wants to try something like that, you idiot!" Usopp shoved his nose right into Xiyan's face, opening his shark-like mouth and roaring, "What if I turn into a zombie?!"
The thought of what he would look like as a zombie made Usopp feel uncomfortable all over, and his hair stood on end.
"Then you'd better try your best not to get bitten~" west Yan shrugged.
Usopp opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Finally, he looked at west Yan with a sincere expression and said, "west Yan, please protect me."
"Okay, I'll try my best."
"What do you mean 'try your best,' you bastard? Give it your all!!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
After Usopp's antics, the frightening atmosphere actually disappeared.
This was also west Yan's purpose; what was the point of traveling in fear the whole way?
"Alright, we've arrived." west Yan looked at the open door in front of him and said, "Let's see if this doctor is human... or a demon?!"
"profound!"
