Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Chakra Explosion — Overpowering the Straw Hat Crew

"How many times have you been swallowed by sea beasts now, Camie?"

Yunan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hmm… maybe the twenty-third time? Hey! How did you know my name is Camie? I don't think we've met before!"

Camie stopped mid-sentence, looking at Yunan with curiosity.

"Uh… I just guessed. Lucky guess, huh? Hahaha."

Yunan scratched his head, smiling awkwardly.

"Oh, I see," Camie said, scratching her head in return, clearly unconcerned with his answer.

Watching Camie's puzzled expression, Yunan shook his head and laughed.

"By the way, are you heading to the Sabaody Archipelago? If so, can I tag along?"

"The Sabaody Archipelago… sounds like a decent destination," Yunan mused.

"Should be lively enough to check out."

After a moment of thought, he nodded in agreement.

With Camie leading the way, they quickly set course toward the Sabaody Archipelago.

...

With Camie guiding the way, it wasn't long before they arrived within the archipelago's vicinity.

"Another pirate ship… Sabaody Archipelago sure has been busy lately."

"What kind of pirate flag is that? Never seen it before. Probably some small-time wannabe pirate from nowhere, hahaha."

"Hey, look! That kid has a mermaid with him! If we catch her, we could sell her for a fortune!"

...

The moment Yunan and Camie set foot on the island, all eyes turned toward them.

Many gazes fell greedily on Camie.

In the Sabaody Archipelago, capturing a mermaid—especially a young female like Camie—was a ticket to instant wealth if sold at auction.

"Yunan, let's split up here. I need to find Koby—he's waiting for me."

Camie said this after observing the island briefly.

"Go ahead, but be careful. Don't let any kidnapping gangs take you."

Yunan nodded.

"Don't worry. I'll be careful. Once I find Koby, we'll head back to Fish-Man Island. We won't linger here."

"Yunan, if you ever go to the New World, make sure to visit me when passing by Fish-Man Island. Bye-bye!"

Camie smiled sweetly, bidding him farewell as she went off to reunite with Koby.

"Hope that scatterbrained girl doesn't get captured," Yunan murmured with a faint smile, then began wandering through the streets alone.

"Bubbles… everywhere, naturally formed. Interesting."

Hands in his pockets, Yunan strolled leisurely along the streets.

"20GR."

Unconsciously, he wandered onto Island No. 20.

"Since I'm here, I might as well meet the Pirate King, Rayleigh."

Yunan smiled faintly and headed toward 13GR.

...

"Shakky's extortion bar… this must be it."

After a short while, Yunan arrived at the bar where Rayleigh and Shakky lived.

Without hesitation, he pushed open the door and stepped inside.

"Oh? Looks like we have a guest," Shakky's voice called out.

Yunan was slightly surprised. Inside, besides Shakky, Rayleigh and the Straw Hat crew were all present.

The bar was packed.

"Looks like I've interrupted your conversation," Yunan said lightly, smiling as he walked to the counter and sat down casually.

"Shakky, a drink, please," he said naturally, as if he were at home.

"Oh? You know me?" Shakky said, slightly startled, pouring a drink and placing it before him.

"Of course. A woman who lives with the Pirate King—how could I not know you?"

Yunan smiled lightly and drained the glass in one gulp.

"Who are you?!"

The Straw Hats immediately grew hostile. Zoro's hand went to his sword hilt, the tension rising instantly.

"Hey, that guy… could he be Navy? Is he here to cause trouble for Rayleigh?"

Usopp exclaimed, aiming his slingshot at Yunan's head.

Only Rayleigh remained still, eyes narrowed slightly, calmly observing Yunan.

"Navy? And if I were, what could you do?"

Yunan smiled faintly.

"Then we'll just beat you up!"

With Luffy's roar, Zoro and Sanji charged at Yunan without hesitation.

Faced with the sudden attack from three people, Yunan, seated at the counter, made no move to dodge. A faint smirk played on his lips.

The next moment, a surge of overwhelming, furious chakra exploded from Yunan's body!

Confronted with this terrifying aura, Luffy, Zoro, and the others trembled, their hearts quaking involuntarily.

It was as if they were stuck in quicksand, unable to move forward.

"Mess up Shakky's place, and I won't cover the damages," Yunan said calmly, instantly retracting his chakra back into his body.
