“Celestial Dragon?”
Xia Yu regained some consciousness and mumbled to himself: “How come?”
Could it be—
The System?
Thinking about it, Xia Yu quickly asked in his mind: “System, you come out here! Did you tell Big Red to run to the Goa Kingdom capital?”
“Father, you’re wrong!”
The System responded promptly: “Every crew member summoned only serves you! Even if I am the System, I cannot influence their thoughts! The reason why Red Rabbit went to the Goa Kingdom is most likely because the banquet was too noisy, and he wanted to go out for some fresh air!”
Xia Yu’s mouth twitched slightly: “He went to the capital of Goa Kingdom to get some fresh air? You’re really good at making excuses!”
“Anyway, it wasn't me!” The System was very wronged.
Although Xia Yu didn't believe this old trick of the System, it was useless to blame it now.
His current priority was to prevent the situation from escalating!
However, even if he rushed over now, it was unlikely that he could minimize the damage.
After all, he was just an ordinary traveler, and the Goa Kingdom would definitely not let Red Rabbit break through the city gate and barge in.
Furthermore, with a Celestial Dragon present, the royal family of the Goa Kingdom would certainly not let this go.
So, going there would be like throwing himself into a trap and attracting a commotion!
Therefore, the best course of action was to pretend to be oblivious.
After all, only the villagers of Fuchsia knew his connection to Red Rabbit and Dlubi.
As long as the Fuchsia villagers kept their mouths shut, no one would connect it to him!
As for the situation of Red Rabbit and Dlubi in the Goa Kingdom—
Even if the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters deployed all their forces, they wouldn't be able to stop them. You know, besides Red Rabbit's berserk state, just Dlubi alone was something that the three admirals couldn't capture!
After all, they were two terrifying existences who completely disregarded reason and logic!
Not to mention this pirate world where all kinds of strong individuals relied on Devil Fruits and physical cultivation, even if Red Rabbit and Dlubi were thrown into a higher plane of existence, no one could defeat them!
Thinking about this, Xia Yu looked at Up, the village chief, his expression serious: “Up, you wouldn’t want Fuchsia to be implicated and dragged into this because of Red Rabbit and Dlubi’s recklessness, right?!”
“The best solution right now is to tell all the villagers immediately to keep their mouths shut and not tell anyone about my connection to Big Red and Dlubi!”
“Only by distancing ourselves from this relationship can we remain safe!”
“Xia Yu-san, you… you’re abandoning your companions!”
Up, the village chief, couldn’t agree with this. His expression was no longer as friendly as before: “Red Rabbit-san helped us solve the problem of the near-sea king, a huge trouble. If you don’t care, we will! We can't abandon our companions!”
Unexpectedly, Up, the village chief, reacted so strongly, Xia Yu blinked in surprise. He then shook his head and smiled: “Up, you misunderstood! I’m not abandoning Red Rabbit and Dlubi. But if I get involved, it will definitely implicate Fuchsia…”
“We’re not afraid!”
Before Xia Yu could finish, Up, the village chief, angrily waved his hand: “To abandon your comrades when you face difficulties, I never thought Xia Yu-san would be such a person!”
“Up, don’t be so anxious!” Makino, who was standing next to the village chief, had recovered. While she didn't agree with Xia Yu's actions, she still caught the key information from his words.
The reason Xia Yu wanted the villagers to keep their mouths shut about their relationship with Red Rabbit and Dlubi was clearly to protect the villagers of Fuchsia.
“Don’t you see? Xia Yu-san is doing this to protect the villagers of Fuchsia from being implicated!”
“Yes, yes, yes,” a villager standing next to Up, the village chief, quickly nodded in agreement: “Xia Yu-san sacrificed his companions to protect the villagers from being implicated. What a great act! It makes me think of the great leader named Che Guevara! He sacrificed himself for the lower classes… woo woo woo, Xia Yu-san, we don’t deserve your kindness!”
“Huh?”
Looking at the villager who suddenly burst into tears, Xia Yu widened his eyes again.
What kind of imagination is this?
I just don’t want to set myself on fire!
Xia Yu thought this in his heart, but his face wore a tragic expression: “There’s no need to talk about deserving or not deserving, it’s only whether I’m willing or not! Please, don't try to persuade me, my mind is set!”
“You may not know the strength of my two companions!”
“Let me put it this way, even if the Marine Headquarters deployed all its forces, they wouldn’t be able to capture them!”
“Therefore, what you need to do now is to pretend to be uninvolved and keep this secret for me!”
“But because of this, I can no longer stay in Fuchsia!”
“I will leave immediately. If anyone asks, you just say I never came to Fuchsia!”
“Once things calm down, I will find a way to rescue Big Red and Dlubi!”
“So, I’m leaving now!”
As he spoke, Xia Yu got out of bed, his face filled with reluctance, his words filled with a tragic air!
“Ah!” Hearing that Xia Yu was leaving, Up, the village chief, immediately turned around and said urgently: “Xia Yu-san, you’re… I’m sorry, I was just too anxious and my words were harsh!”
Similarly, after hearing that Xia Yu was leaving, Makino felt as if she had lost something important, her beautiful eyes wide open as she looked at Xia Yu.
“All good things must come to an end!”
Xia Yu met Makino’s gaze and said softly: “I am a traveler by nature, and I will eventually leave! Of course, if Fuchsia still welcomes me, I will come back after this matter is settled! At that time, we will have another grand banquet, drinking and singing together!”
Hearing this, Makino couldn't help but tear up, choking out: “Welcome, definitely welcome, very welcome!”
Huh?
Seeing Makino suddenly tear up, Xia Yu blinked in surprise.
This girl, why is she crying!
Could it be—
As soon as this thought came to mind, Xia Yu quickly shook his head to dismiss it.
He had only just transmigrated into the One Piece world and made the decision to travel all four seas and the Grand Line. He couldn't soften his heart because of Makino's tears!
He had planned to stay in Fuchsia for a while longer before leaving. Now that Red Rabbit had gone out to cause trouble, he naturally didn't need to stay here. It was a good opportunity to start his next journey!
As for Red Rabbit and Dlubi, he wasn't worried at all.
As long as he brought Green Rabbit, the strongest support, with him, those two could go wherever they wanted, he couldn't care less!
