Chapter 329 Ship Spirit? No... it's a spirit of nature!
"I know what you're trying to say," Grandma said helplessly, looking at Meili. "But your partner hasn't hatched yet, so..."
"Oh dear, Grandma, that's not what I meant."
Mother-in-law: ? ? ?
What does "not this" mean?
west Yan seemed to have sensed something, his eyes lighting up as he exclaimed, "Meili, have you perhaps developed some special ability?!"
Just like the spatial abilities that Merry demonstrated back then, who knows, she might be able to develop even more powerful abilities!
Thinking of this, anticipation appeared in west Yan's eyes.
"I think so."
Mei thought for a moment and said, "I think I can control the wind now..."
"wind?"
west Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mei Li in shock and said, "Is it the wind I understand?"
"I think so."
As she spoke, Mary raised her little hand and waved at the boxes containing Devil Fruits.
Then, as if they had grown legs, the boxes slowly moved towards the front of the table.
"There really is wind..."
.
As they carefully sensed the flow of air, a look of shock appeared in the eyes of the people inside the room.
How can someone who has never eaten a Devil Fruit possess the power to control the wind?
Could it be...: This little girl has mastered Wind Release ninjutsu?
With that in mind, the others turned their attention to west Yan.
west Yan understood what they meant, so he asked, "Meili, have you mastered Wind Release ninjutsu?"
Although the abilities that Merry displayed were different from the wind-style ninjutsu he knew, who says that Merry can't develop her own abilities?
After all... she's a legendary elf!
"It's not a Wind Release ninjutsu," Melie said, shaking her head.
Not only Wind Release ninjutsu, but she also couldn't learn the other ninjutsu that west Yan taught her.
I could learn sealing techniques, but the progress would be extremely slow...
"It's not Wind Release, is it?"
"
west Yan asked in confusion, "Then how did you do that?"
"Hmm, Mary thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know either."
"If I had to put it in a way... it's like an instinct."
"Instinct, huh?"
Listening to Mei Li's words, west Yan fell into deep thought.
Possessing the power to manipulate the wind in nature, and possibly having a special substance within their body found only in the ocean...
Could this girl, Mei Li, be a spirit of nature?
Thinking of this, a look of horror appeared in west Yan's eyes!
If that's really the case, then Merry's potential is quite terrifying.
"Merry," Hancock asked, looking at Merry curiously, "when did you awaken this power?"
"Just now."
"just?"
Hancock paused for a moment, wondering what that meant.
Perhaps sensing Hancock's confusion, Merry explained, "Just as I was wondering if eating a Devil Fruit would kill me, this power inexplicably appeared in my body."
Although I don't know how it happened, that's definitely how it is.
Hancock: .....
Did he forcibly awaken a special ability in order to avoid eating a Devil Fruit?
No, what a strange body structure this is.
Xi Yan stroked his chin and looked at Mei Li, saying, "It's also possible that it awakened a long time ago, but you're only realizing it now."
Why do you say that?
Mei looked at west Yan with a puzzled expression, clearly not expecting him to say such a thing.
"Do you remember the group of people we met in the Sabaody Archipelago?" west Yan asked.
After hearing this, Melly thought for a moment and then said, "You mean... the Rose-Colored Knights?"
"Yes, it's them." west Yan nodded.
"What a strange name!" Grandma complained.
The Rose-Colored Life Knights?
Could it be that their lives were all filled with rosy hues?
"His name is a bit strange, but he's a nice person," west Yan said.
This time, Grandma just nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Why are you bringing them up?" Mei asked curiously. "Because you showed unusual abilities that time!" west Yan said.
"Is there?"
A question mark popped into Mary's head. Why didn't she remember this?
"Of course," west Yan said. "Those guys rode off on flying fish, but you still heard them talking."
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Mei Li's face. After a moment, she said, "It seems... that's true."
"What's the problem?" Marigold asked Xiyan, puzzled.
What's wrong with listening to others talk?
"Given the distance at that time, it would normally be impossible to hear them talking," west Yan said. "At least, except for Mei Li."
We didn't hear anything.
Upon hearing this, Marigold looked surprised and exclaimed, "Is that so?!"
So, does that mean...Merry had already awakened her abilities back then?
It's just that for certain reasons, it can't be used. "Yes."
"So I had already awakened my abilities back then?" Melly asked, puzzled.
"That's quite possible," west Yan nodded. "Perhaps it was the power of the wind that allowed you to hear their words at that time."
As for why Meli only awakened now, she didn't know.
"So that's how it is. :::"
"
After reflecting on everything that had happened to her, Mary fell into deep thought.
It seems... that's how it is.
"Then why is it the power of wind that has been awakened?" Santasonia asked, puzzled.
west Yan thought for a moment, then said, "Perhaps it's because Mei Li is a ship spirit."
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, west Yan said, "Look, when pirate ships sail on the sea, don't they need the wind to move?"
"But what about foreign vessels?" Santasonia said. "No, that's not it." west Yan rolled his eyes at Santasonia and said, "I'm talking about most of the time."
west Yan knew about the ships in this world.
Although some ships are equipped with outer wheels, they still rely on sails for movement most of the time, so what he said is not wrong.
Santasonia paused for a moment after hearing this, then nodded without saying anything more.
"What does this have to do with how pirate ships move?" Marigold asked, puzzled.
"Of course it's related."
west Yan explained, "Meili is a ship spirit born on a ship, so her awakened abilities are likely related to ships!"
For example, her spatial abilities might be related to the fact that the ship has a lot of space or that repairing the ship requires moving a lot of materials.
Upon hearing west Yan's explanation, Mary Gorud's eyes widened in surprise.
Is that another way to explain it?
She then said, "So, Mary's ability to awaken the power of the wind is related to the fact that sailboats need the power of the wind to propel them?"
"That's possible," west Yan nodded.
"this...

The group looked at each other, feeling that this explanation was somewhat absurd.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense, after all...:..Merry did indeed awaken the power of the wind!
Just then, west Yan continued, "Of course, there is another possibility."
"What's the possibility?"
"Merry isn't a ship spirit!"
"Not a ship spirit?"
Hearing west Yan's explanation, a look of confusion appeared in the eyes of the group.
What does it mean if it's not a ship spirit?
"Am I not a ship spirit?"
Meili stared at Xiyan in disbelief. Had she been expelled from the elven race?
"I was just saying there's a possibility," west Yan said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Mei Li paused for a moment, then blinked her big eyes and asked, "Then what am I?"
"It could be a spirit of nature," west Yan said.
"The spirit of nature?"
Hearing this extremely unfamiliar term, the confusion in their eyes deepened.
"That's right, spirits of nature!" west Yan nodded and said, "Spirits born from nature!"
"If Rumeri is truly such a being, then it's not surprising that she awakened the power of wind."
After all... this kind of creature is a darling of nature!
"The spirit of nature."
Mary Gruud, who had been staring at Mary for a moment, said, "It sounds a bit far-fetched, but it's not impossible."
"But wasn't Merry born from your pirate ship?" Santasonia asked in confusion. "That's exactly like the legendary ship spirit."
Why are you taking it so seriously?
west Yan rolled his eyes at Santasonia and said, "I never said that Melie is definitely a spirit of nature. In the end, this is just my guess."
"But no matter what, it's true that Merry gained superpowers."
Santasonia paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."
It doesn't really matter what kind of elf it is, as long as it can grant superpowers, which will make Merry more capable of protecting herself.
"So am I a ship spirit or not?" Melie asked, looking up at Xiyan.
"You'll have to find the answer yourself," west Yan said with a gentle smile. "Perhaps one day in the future, you'll find the answer within yourself."
Upon hearing this, Mei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Since west Yan has said so, she will stop worrying about it and focus on becoming stronger first!
With that thought in mind, Meili banished the extraneous thoughts from her mind, and her expression returned to normal.
"It's a good thing that Meili has awakened this ability," Grandma Za said with a smile. "It will also greatly improve her archery skills."
After all... the power of the wind can make an arrow even more powerful!
Perhaps as if she had considered some possibility, Grandma's smile widened.
Xi Yan was stunned when he heard what Grandma Za said.
Then, he muttered to himself, "Why does this sound like an arrow in the wind..."
If she could truly unleash the power he imagined, then Mary, as a sniper, would be far more threatening than Usopp.
At that moment, a scene appeared in west Yan's mind.
Then, Merry's small figure appeared beside Kizaru, raising her longbow and aiming it at him.
Don't move, Kizaru!
Oh, wow!
Wow, that's a really vivid image.
Thinking of this, west Yan burst out laughing.
"Um?"
"What are you laughing at?" Grandma asked west Yan, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
What's on his mind this time?
"Ahem, I'm happy for Meili," west Yan coughed lightly and said, "After all, she'll become stronger, won't she!"
Grandma looked at Xiyan with suspicion, feeling that the boy wasn't telling the truth.
But if she had to point out anything, she couldn't find anything wrong with it, so she nodded and didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, west Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Mei Li and said, "Mei Li, spend the next two years cultivating diligently with Grandma Za."
"Don't worry, I'll work hard to become stronger!"
The little guy stretched out one hand and made a fist, indicating that he would definitely try his best.
This adorable scene made everyone laugh.
Hahahaha.
"Then you'd better be prepared, little one," Grandma said with a smile, ruffling Meili's hair. "I won't hold back!"
Hearing Grandma's words, a hint of fear appeared in Little Mermaid's eyes, but when she thought of what they had encountered in the Sabaody Archipelago, her eyes immediately hardened.
"Bring it on, Grandma!" Little Mei said firmly.
"Okay~"
Grandma nodded in satisfaction, then said, "After you hatch that snake egg, we'll start training you and also help develop your teamwork."
"Okay!!"
Upon hearing that training wouldn't begin immediately, Xiao Meili's tense body gradually relaxed.
"Don't be idle during this time," west Yan said. "Take a good look at your newly awakened ability, and while you're at it, study the sealing techniques I taught you before!"
Especially the power of the wind; if Meili could fully master it, the opponent might pose a greater threat to the sea than she herself!
"Okay..."
"Um?""
"Okay!"
Seeing the little guy suddenly sit up straight, west Yan showed a satisfied expression and said, "That's more like it."
"Brother-in-law..." Marigold hesitated for a moment, then said, "Aren't you being a little too harsh?"
Mary is only a few months old, isn't it a bit... to put her into such high-intensity training now?
"No, I think Xiyan's approach is fine," Hancock said seriously. "Don't forget what they'll be facing two years from now."
Upon hearing Hancock's words, Marigold showed a look of sudden realization.
Yes, the Straw Hat Pirates will face pursuit from the World Government two years from now!
So in order to increase her chances of survival, Mary has to get moving!
Thinking of this, Marigold shut her mouth completely.
Seeing that Marigold understood her meaning, Hancock looked at Mary and said, "Mary, I hope you can understand Xiyan's good intentions."
Actually, her thoughts were similar to west Yan's; they both hoped that Mei Li would start moving now so that the little guy could become stronger sooner!
Only by becoming strong can one control their own destiny!
"I know... I just... hehe, I just want to rest for a few more days," Mei said somewhat shyly.
"Then let's rest for a few days."
west Yan patted Hancock's hand, then looked at Merry and said, "But once training starts, you can't slack off, understand?"
"Don't worry, I promise I won't slack off!" Meili said earnestly.
This time, she was determined to work hard and become stronger, so she naturally wouldn't slack off like before.
"Okay," west Yan nodded.
"Then I will take care of Mary's physical training," Hancock said. "I will teach her everything I know."
"Huh?"
Meili paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "I only need to learn archery, why do I need to learn physical skills too?"
Isn't her role supposed to be support + sniper?
"Having strong enough physical skills will prevent you from being killed in close combat," Hancock said. "Besides... training your physical skills will also make you stronger."
"Is that so...?"
After carefully considering Hancock's words, Merry nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I will try my best."
This time, Hancock nodded, not saying anything more to the old woman staring at her. She thought to herself, "This girl has really changed a lot..."
The power of love is truly great, hahaha.
Then, Grandma Za said, "Then let's settle on that."
"I'll take care of Mary's archery training, and Hancock will take care of her physical training."
"Okay," Hancock nodded.
She will do her best to make this little guy stronger.
"Brother-in-law, what do you plan to do with these unknown Devil Fruits?" Santasonia asked, pointing to the three Devil Fruits on the table.
"These three..."

west Yan turned to look at the three Devil Fruits, stroked his chin, and said, "Let's see if Sister Xia Qi can help me get a better Devil Fruit."
"If not, then we'll just have to let those guys take a gamble."
As for whether or not to eat it... that's their own choice.
"It's best to eat what you already know," Grandma Za said. "Otherwise, you might encounter some bad abilities."
If you're unlucky enough to get a weaker ability, then you'll have nowhere to turn and no one to blame but yourself.
"Yes, that's what I think too."
west Yan nodded, then looked at Granny Zha and said, "Granny Zha, would you like to give it a try?"
Come to think of it... he's never seen anyone actually eat a Devil Fruit.
"I?"
"I'll pass," Grandma said, shaking her head.
She's so old, what's the point of her eating this?
So let's just forget about it.
"Alright."
