Chapter 231 "News"
Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
As for the other auras around him, Xia Chen didn't care about their thoughts.
As long as they don't mess with him like Kidd did, he won't kill them all out of boredom.
Kidd's audacity stemmed from his own recklessness. If, two years later, after undergoing trials by both Shanks and Kaido, he believed he possessed some strength and dared to provoke Xia Chen, it might be somewhat understandable.
But even two years later, his final fate was to be instantly killed by Shanks's divine evasion, let alone his current encounter with Xia Chen.
Some time after Xia Chen's figure left, several figures emerged from the shadows.
The group first glanced at Kidd, who lay lifeless in the distance, then turned their gazes toward the direction Xia Chen had left, their expressions extremely solemn.
After a long pause, a man wearing a beanie with a speckled pattern spoke:
"Is this the Rock King Emperor Xia Chen? Such power from just one punch!"
"Not only did it kill Eustass Kid outright, but even Killer, who later simply tried to stop Kid's body, couldn't withstand the impact and ultimately couldn't escape his fate of death!"
"Is this... the strength of the world's number one player?"
Indeed, the person speaking at this moment was Trafalgar Law, and the figures around him were the other members of the Supernova 11 from the original work.
After Luo finished speaking, no one around him made a sound, and a quiet atmosphere descended.
It's not that they don't want to say something, but that they genuinely don't know what to say.
They had witnessed everything that happened from a distance, and even from a great distance, Xia Chen's punch still sent a chill down their spines.
Before this, they could never have imagined that there were such powerful humans in the world!
Although they had seen the first part of the Marineford War in the video Den Den Mushi, the last thing they saw was that giant club! After that, they couldn't see anything else.
They were already shocked by Xia Chen's strength at the time, but what they saw on screen was different from what they saw in reality!
They were amazed by Xia Chen's strength, but they didn't think they were much weaker than him!
That's what they thought, at least until today, but after today...
Sorry, just ignore them!
For a time, these pirates all re-examined their own strength and went through a period of "cowardice" after entering the New World.
Of course, that's a story for another time...
——
Some time later, Xia Chen arrived at the "Extortion Bar" and, without hesitation, pushed open the door and went inside.
As soon as he entered, Xia Chen felt two pairs of eyes focused on him. He looked at one of the old men, a slight smile playing on his lips, and then walked over to him.
After sitting down next to the old man, Xia Chen said to the woman behind the bar, "Boss, give me the best drink in the shop!"
"Oh, right, get him a cup too!" Xia Chen pointed to the old man next to him.
"good!"
The woman nodded, then turned and went to mix drinks.
At this moment, the old man beside him also spoke up, his tone filled with questions.
"Xia Chen?"
"It's me!" Xia Chen nodded and said, "Nice to meet you, Hades… Rayleigh!"

Trendy looks—shop now!
Rayleigh did not show any shock when he heard Xia Chen's words. Although he had retired, he had not hidden his identity.
So it's not surprising that he knows him, but he has many doubts in his mind now.
for example...
"You're still alive? The news said that after a fierce battle, you successfully killed the Five Elders, but you also suffered life-threatening injuries and soon perished in the combined attack of Aokiji and Kizaru!"
"But looking at your rosy complexion now, you don't seem to be injured at all!"
Rayleigh looked at Xia Chen and asked in a calm voice.
Hearing this, Xia Chen shrugged and said, "You said you saw it on the news, news, news, something new to see!"
"Is yesterday's news still fresh today? So it's not unusual for it to make some mistakes?"
Rayleigh: ...
After Xia Chen said that, Rayleigh was speechless for a moment.
This was the first time he'd ever heard news interpreted this way, but... it seemed to make sense?
While Xia Chen and Lei Li were talking, Xia Qi placed two glasses of wine in front of them.
Rayleigh didn't stand on ceremony, picked up his glass and took a half-gulp, then said, "So, it seems you were the one who unleashed Conqueror's Haki on the island just now!"
"That's right, my Conqueror's Haki suddenly leveled up as soon as I arrived on this island, so I tested its effect!"
Rayleigh was speechless once again. To be honest, he also wanted such a sudden turn of events!
"So... you didn't just come here to chat with me, did you?"
Rayleigh didn't believe Xia Chen was simply bored and wanted to chat. He and Xia Chen had never met before; they were complete strangers. At most, they only knew each other's names.
However, Rayleigh still had a good impression of Xia Chen, for no other reason than that Xia Chen saved Ace's life!
He only learned that Ace was Roger's son before his execution; he had no idea that Roger had another son still alive!
"That's right, I do have something to ask you for a favor!" Xia Chen replied calmly.
"Hmm? You need my help? With your abilities, you actually need my help?" Rayleigh was a little puzzled.
"Strength isn't everything! While strength is indeed the most important thing in this world, there are always things that strength can't solve!"
"For example... laziness!"
That's right, Xia Chen was just too lazy to teach Luffy and the others. He didn't want to spend the next six months with those guys every day, so he came to Rayleigh!
Although Rayleigh's teaching level has been criticized by countless One Piece fans, he does have some real skills!
Of course, I can't compare to the gold medal teacher, Mr. Kai, but... it's enough!
"Lazy? What does that mean?" Rayleigh was a little confused.
Isn't the causal relationship between laziness and ability reversed? Shouldn't it be that laziness prevents the improvement of ability?
Before he could think any further, Xia Chen said again, "Actually, I just want you to help me teach some people. As for the time... it will be about six months!"
"Of course, I won't let you come for nothing. I can give you a considerable amount of Pele!"
Xia Chen blinked and said to Lei Li, and judging from his expression, anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them were doing something shady.

Chapter 232 I have no interest in Pele
Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
"Pele?"
Rayleigh's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.
Although Rayleigh isn't someone who cares much about money, in the original work he served as Luffy's mentor for two years without charging tuition!
But as the saying goes, money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it!
He had originally planned to help Xia Chen out of consideration for saving Ace, and he wouldn't mind if Xia Chen didn't make unreasonable demands!
Now that there's extra income, why not take advantage of it?
After all, he was really poor, he didn't even have the money to buy a bottle of wine, otherwise he wouldn't have sold himself into slavery!
However, he didn't immediately agree to Xia Chen's request. Instead, he asked, "Teach someone? Could you elaborate on the situation?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted you to teach those idiots on my ship a thing or two and improve their skills!"
"They're still a bit too weak right now! And I have other things to take care of, so I was thinking of asking you for help!"
"I see!" Rayleigh murmured thoughtfully, stroking his chin.
"The reward is 300 million Berries!"
"Bang!"
Rayleigh slammed his hand on the table, looked at Xia Chen, and said with a smile, "Since it's your request, Xia Chen, I certainly have to grant it!"
"Whether it's Pele or not is secondary; the main thing is that I enjoy teaching!"
Seeing the beaming smile on Rayleigh's face, Shakky was a little bewildered. A thought involuntarily popped into her mind.
That old geezer, how could he have such a shameless side?
But considering that the other person's pockets were emptier than their face, it seems understandable!
For Rayleigh, there are currently only two sources of income: one is selling himself as a slave, and the other is coating other people's ships!
The problem is that he doesn't earn much from these things, so he never has any spare money to buy alcohol.
However, this is the life Rayleigh chose himself; otherwise, with his abilities, making money would undoubtedly be very easy.
"Then I shall accept this offer without hesitation. This is the first time I've ever received such a lucrative business deal!"
Hearing that Rayleigh had agreed to his request, Xia Chen smiled.
Although Rayleigh acted as if he only accepted Xia Chen's request because of Bailey, Xia Chen actually knew very well that Rayleigh was only willing to agree because he had saved Ace.
Even if Xia Chen didn't mention Bailey, Rayleigh would still agree to it!
Because that's the kind of person Rayleigh is, Xia Chen has a very good impression of Rayleigh because he has saved Hancock many times!
For this reason alone, Xia Chen would treat Rayleigh with great respect, and Rayleigh's character is indeed excellent!
But Xia Chen felt it was better to give some Pele, as a way to buy alcohol for the old man. Of course, there was another very important reason, which was...
Xia Chen is now in no way inferior to Pele; he can confidently say:
"I've never touched Pelé, I have no interest in Pelé!"
With a thought, Xia Chen conjured a large piece of gold in the bar.
In an instant, golden light shone throughout the bar, radiating a dazzling brilliance!
Rayleigh's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the gold nugget in front of him, but he didn't lose his composure. After all, he was the Pirate King's right-hand man and had seen the world!
"Your gold nuggets are probably worth more than 300 million Berries!" Rayleigh said, smacking his lips.
"Really? It's alright, it's just a little extra. I don't need it!" Xia Chen said casually, his words exuding an air of wealth.
Dress Up, Feel Amazing
"Well..."
For a moment, Rayleigh was speechless. Was this what it meant to be the wicked rich?
Xia Chen looked at Lei Li and asked, "Shall we start tomorrow?"
"Okay!" Rayleigh nodded.
"Okay! I'll come pick you up tomorrow. I'm going to go for a walk now!"
After saying that, Xia Chen downed the drink in front of him in one gulp, then took out a stack of pebies, placed them on the bar, and walked out.
Xia Qi chuckled softly as she watched Xia Chen's figure disappear into the distance.
"What an interesting child!"
"Haha, that's really interesting!" Rayleigh replied with a laugh as well.
——
Xia Chen walked down the street, feeling the quiet surroundings, and couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.
I almost forgot that he had just used Conqueror's Haki to knock out most of the people on the island, turning what should have been a bustling and lively street into a deathly quiet place. Meanwhile, these people were lying haphazardly scattered everywhere.
I was hoping to experience the charm of the Sabaody Archipelago! But it looks like I won't have that chance now!
After saying that, Xia Chen planned to find a luxurious hotel to stay in for the night, and then take Rayleigh to Luffy and the others the next day.
But at that moment, Xia Chen sensed the presence of a group of people with his Observation Haki, and his gaze involuntarily turned towards that direction.
After a while, several figures appeared in Xia Chen's line of sight. The moment he saw them, Xia Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
"Looks like a few more people are going to die here today!"
——
"Hey, can any of you explain to me why all these lowly people are lying on the ground?"
"If that's the case, who will serve me?!"
A man wearing a hood, strange clothes, and with an indescribable appearance looked around and said with dissatisfaction.
Beside him was a group of men dressed in black suits with cold expressions.
Upon hearing the man's words, one of the men whispered, "Lord Mobus, none of these people are dead; they've simply fainted!"
"Based on my assessment, he was likely stunned by someone's Conqueror's Haki! There might be a powerful pirate nearby, so we need to be careful!"
"Conqueror's Haki? What's that?" Mobs asked nonchalantly.
"Um..."
Upon hearing this, the man who had answered earlier was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he spoke again, giving a brief explanation of Conqueror's Haki and Mobs.
"Oh, I see!" Mobs nodded, feigning ignorance.
To be honest, he didn't understand what Conqueror's Haki was at all, but he certainly wouldn't admit that he didn't understand.
He's a noble Celestial Dragon, how could he show his ignorance in front of his subordinates?
"What great pirate? What 'better safe than sorry'? I am a Celestial Dragon. Even if he had ten lives, would he dare to lay a hand on me?"
Mobs said arrogantly, completely disregarding his subordinates' words.
He is a Celestial Dragon, a descendant of the creator of the world. Because of his identity, he has never suffered a setback outside!
Naturally, he wouldn't care about pirates or anything like that. If anyone dared to lay a hand on him, a Marine Admiral would arrive in the next second. How many pirates would dare to face a Marine Admiral?
Thinking of this, Mobs became even more arrogant and said directly, "Even if that great pirate you mentioned were standing in front of me right now, and I slapped him, what would he dare to say?"
However, the very next second after Mobs finished speaking, a faint voice sounded behind him.
"Really? Now that you mention it, I'm quite curious. How... do you plan to slap me?"

Chapter 233 You Can't Curse Yourself
Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
Xia Chen looked at the Celestial Dragon in front of him, his cold eyes carrying a hint of doubt.
He didn't understand why these Celestial Dragons were still so arrogant after the events of Marineford.
Putting aside Xia Chen, who killed all five elders, even other pirates will feel less fear of the Celestial Dragons after learning about this. That's inevitable!
But thinking about it, it's understandable. After all, the Marineford War just ended not long ago, and it's normal that these pigs haven't realized their current status yet!
Therefore, upon hearing Xia Chen's words, Mobs' face immediately contorted with rage. Before even seeing Xia Chen, he roared at the surrounding men in black:
"Who is it? Arrest him immediately! How dare he defy a noble Celestial Dragon like me! I'll make him wish he were dead!"
However, when Mobs turned around, he found that the scene before him was very different from what he had expected.
The scenario he had imagined—his men pinning the person who had offended him to the ground—did not occur. Instead, his men were all several meters away from him.
He stared at the handsome man standing not far from him with eyes full of fear!
If you look closely, you can even see that their legs are trembling uncontrollably.
Mobs was instantly enraged upon seeing this and unleashed a barrage of attacks on them.
"You bunch of useless trash, how dare you disobey my orders? Didn't you hear me tell you to arrest him?"
But no matter what he said, they remained frozen in place, without making the slightest move.
Until one of them said tremblingly, "Emperor Xia Chen of the Rock Kingdom! You're still alive!!"
"What's wrong with me not being dead? What? You really want me to die?"
Xia Chen looked at the person and asked, his tone was extremely calm, but it seemed to carry immense pressure, causing the person's legs to buckle and he to fall to the ground.
"Tch, boring!"
Seeing this person's behavior, Xia Chen suddenly felt extremely bored.
"With this little bit of bravado, they think they can be bodyguards for those pigs like the Heavenly Dragons? Does the World Government really have no one else to rely on?"
Xia Chen looked down at the group and spoke. They hadn't expected his reputation to be so widespread. His reaction was perfectly normal!
He single-handedly broke through the Marine Headquarters and killed the Five Elders, who held the highest authority in the World Government. Each of these feats alone is enough to strike fear into the hearts of countless people!
Xia Chen gently raised his hand, and before anyone could see him make any move, the group of men in black were instantly sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, before landing on the ground with a dull thud.
Without exception, they all lay peacefully on the ground, their bodies devoid of any sign of life.
After doing all this, Xia Chen turned his gaze to Mobus beside him.
Mobs, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was now sprawled on the ground, using his hands to brace himself as he retreated. His face was filled with utter terror.
At the same time, her voice trembled as she said, "You...you don't come any closer!"
Ever since Mobs heard Xia Chen's name, he has been gripped by endless fear.
The name Xia Chen is now a taboo subject for the Celestial Dragons. Not a single Celestial Dragon can remain silent without their legs going weak at the mere mention of his name!
He was the same way! Mobs was kicking himself for coming here to join in the fun when he had nothing better to do!

Shop new styles you'll love!
If he encounters this killing machine, he's bound to lose his life here today!
Thinking of this, Mobs unconsciously let out a pool of yellow liquid from his genitals.
Xia Chen's eyes flashed with disgust upon seeing this, and his determination to eradicate these bastards grew even stronger.
Xia Chen raised his palm, and with a slight flick of his fingertips, a burst of energy shot towards Mobus.
"Pfft!"
A sound of flesh being pierced came, and a bloody hole appeared in Mobs's head. His backward body lost its strength and fell to the ground.
Xia Chen slowly turned around, leaving only two words.
"unlucky!"
...
——
After some time, the people on the Sabaody Archipelago also began to slowly wake up.
They soon discovered Mobs dead there, and their faces were filled with horror.
Although the World Government's prestige declined somewhat after the Marineford War, the impact wasn't significant! No one still dared to openly oppose the World Government!
Now a Celestial Dragon has actually died here! This is a huge embarrassment for the World Government!
This news quickly reached Marineford, the headquarters of the Navy.
Because Xia Chen had turned all the ice into land, Marineford at this time was still much larger than the original Marineford, even though many parts of it had been destroyed in the later battles.
Therefore, the relocation of the Navy Headquarters as depicted in the original work did not occur, and Sengoku did not abdicate, remaining as Fleet Admiral.
However, a position as a naval admiral became vacant. Sengoku had considered promoting Momousagi or Chaton to the position, but after some twists and turns, he abandoned the decision.
The reason is simple: these two are relatively weak. In peacetime, they would be more than capable of serving as admirals, but in such a turbulent time, their strength is insufficient to deter pirates.
That could potentially reduce the navy's deterrent power, so the navy's top brass are currently gathered in a conference room to discuss the feasibility of a global conscription plan!
Sengoku sat in the main seat of the conference room, looking at everyone around him and asked, "What do you all think of the global conscription plan? Please feel free to offer any opinions!"
A few seconds of silence followed these words. After a moment, a woman stood up and said, "I agree to this plan!"
"Now, due to what Xia Chen has done, the prestige of the Navy and the World Government has declined. In this turbulent period, we desperately need powerful forces to join our Navy and deter pirates around the world!"
Sengoku nodded in satisfaction upon hearing the woman's words and said, "Vice Admiral Momousagi is right! Our navy suffered heavy losses in this war!"
"Countless people sacrificed their lives in this war, including a general! This was an incredibly heavy blow to us!"
At this point, Zhan Guo's expression turned sorrowful, and the atmosphere around him became somber.
"but..."
"We didn't come away empty-handed; in fact, you could say our navy won!"
"Because... Xia Chen died in this war! Those of you who experienced this war should know how terrifying Xia Chen was. Strictly speaking, he single-handedly wiped out our Navy and the World Government..."
The Warring States period originally intended to say that they were slaughtered without leaving a single survivor, but then he remembered that he was still alive and well, so he swallowed the word.
As a person, you can curse others, but you can't curse yourself!

"so..."
"Something terrible has happened, Marshal!"
Sengoku had barely uttered two words when a navy officer rushed in from outside the door.
Sengoku's face darkened visibly as he glared at the charging navy and said menacingly:
"Don't you know we're in a meeting? Why are you disturbing us at this time?"
"I'm sorry, Marshal! But there's something very urgent that I must tell you immediately!"
The person who arrived was panting, with an extremely solemn, even panicked, expression.
Seeing this, Sengoku did not scold him further, but instead sat down again and asked calmly:
"Speak, what happened!"
It's normal for his subordinates to have a bad mentality and panic when things happen, but he is a naval admiral who has seen countless storms!
He had already mastered the art of cultivating his inner strength, and he was confident that nothing he encountered would make him panic!
"Saint Mobus has been killed in the Sabaody Archipelago!"
"Huh? The Celestial Dragons were killed?" Sengoku's face showed a hint of surprise.
Before Xia Chen killed Charlos in Water 7, the Celestial Dragons had not been killed for countless years.
But now, in a short period of time, countless Celestial Dragons have died, including even the Five Elders, who are now at the pinnacle of power in the world.
It seems... the Celestial Dragons' prestige has declined!
Sengoku was not worried about this situation; in fact, he was quite happy!
To be honest, he has always had some dissatisfaction with the Celestial Dragons, but as a Marine, even though he has risen to the position of Fleet Admiral, he is still subject to the constraints of the World Government.
Even now, the Navy is referred to by outsiders as an appendage of the World Government, a dog of the Celestial Dragons!
If anything happens to a Celestial Dragon, the Navy will relentlessly pursue them like mad dogs!
However, Sengoku had no way to deal with this situation, as their navy was indeed subject to the World Government in every way.
He has no power to change any of this, but he is certainly pleased to hear that the Celestial Dragons have been killed!
Of course, sometimes you have to keep your happiness inside and not show it, otherwise it won't be good!
And... now it seems like an opportunity!
An opportunity to establish their naval prestige!
Given that their navy has been decimated by Xia Chen, they urgently need to do something to prove that their navy's strength has not been weakened much!
Otherwise, we won't be able to deter those pirates!
Thinking of this, Sengoku, against his conscience, put on a sorrowful expression and said:
"I never imagined there were such villains in the world. They really have no respect for our navy!"
"I also deeply regret the passing of Mobus Saint, but we will definitely catch the murderer and punish him severely!"
Looking at Sengoku's righteous and indignant demeanor, one might easily mistake him for a true supporter of the Celestial Dragons!
But which of the naval personnel present hadn't worked with Sengoku for many years? Didn't they all know what kind of person he was?
Garp, in particular, looked at Sengoku with utter contempt, and even spoke directly:
"Sengoku, if you want to laugh, you can just laugh. There's no World Government here, so there's no need to pretend!"
Sengoku: m9(｀д′)!!!!

"Shut up, Garp!"
Sengoku yelled at Garp, then snatched the senbei from Garp's hand and ate it all.
Garp's eyes widened instantly, and he glared at Sengoku, yelling, "Sengoku, you old bastard, you stole my senbei again! Shameless!"
Then they charged straight at Sengoku. Seeing the two of them like this, the surrounding marines were already used to it. They didn't need to look at them.
On the other side, Kizaru slowly stood up and said calmly, "Since a Celestial Dragon has been killed in the Sabaody Archipelago, then I shall go there!"
In the past, Kizaru definitely wouldn't have volunteered for this situation, as it would be inconsistent with his leisurely lifestyle!
But these are special times, and the navy needs to do something to show the world its strength.
And another very important point is that even if Kizaru doesn't take the initiative, he will most likely still have to go in the end!
Because if something happens to a Celestial Dragon, a Marine Admiral must go there, and right now, he and Aokiji are the only Marine Admirals left.
Aokiji was more seriously injured in the previous war and was not as fast as him, so... no matter how you look at it, Sengoku would eventually call him to go!
So rather than waiting to be summoned by Sengoku, it's better to take the initiative now and show him your enthusiasm so that you'll have less work to do for him in the future.
Kizaru looked at the Marine who had given the report and asked, "Do you know who the villain is?"
"Know!"
"Emperor Yan King Xia Chen!"
"!!!???"
In an instant, the entire conference room became incredibly quiet; you could hear a pin drop!
The expressions on everyone's faces gradually changed from calm to surprise, and finally to horror.
Kizaru, who had already taken a few steps, slowly backed away and sat back down in his seat, acting as if nothing had happened. His earlier "enthusiastic" attitude was completely gone.
Sengoku and Garp, who were playfully fighting, also stopped what they were doing, and their expressions quickly became extremely serious.
Having fought against Xia Chen, they knew his strength all too well. They had even heard that he had an incredibly powerful form, but they were eliminated before Xia Chen could even use it.
It's unimaginable just how powerful Xia Chen is!
This is why Sengoku still felt he had gained an advantage, even though the navy and the world government suffered such heavy losses.
Because as long as Xia Chen dies, it would be worth it even if they all died. Xia Chen's deterrent power is simply too exaggerated!
But now Sengoku felt an unbearable pain in his face; the happier he was just moments before, the uglier his expression became.
I sat up in shock while on my deathbed and realized that the clown was myself!
Then he looked at Kizaru and asked, "Boltarino, are you still going?"
"What? What is that? I don't know anything about it!" Kizaru's face was full of confusion.
Alright! Sengoku knew from this situation that Kizaru couldn't possibly go, and neither could any of their Marines. If they really went, it would be like throwing good money after bad!
Let the world government deal with this kind of troublesome thing!
Sengoku then relayed the information to the World Government that Xia Chen had appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago and killed a Celestial Dragon.
I received a reply in a short time.
"Don't worry about it!"
Okay, it seems the world government has backed down too!
Zhan Guo rubbed his forehead helplessly, feeling like he had aged several years in an instant. Xia Chen not being dead was really bad news for him!
"Ugh! I wonder how many brain cells I'm going to lose again!"

Chapter 235 Dark Night Island Appears!
Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
Two days later~
"Is this the Eternal Night Sea?"
Xia Chen stood atop the Somersault Cloud, gazing at the dark sea before him and murmuring softly. Then he looked up at the sky above the sea.
A huge, thick dark cloud was floating in the sky, with no end in sight.
This is the origin of the Eternal Night Sea: an enormous dark cloud blocked out the sunlight, shrouding the entire sea in darkness.
What's even more amazing is that this dark cloud doesn't drift with the wind; it stays in the same position.
Seeing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but smile slightly. He said in a low voice:
"Doha is one of the strangest and most wonderful things in this world!"
Without hesitation, Xia Chen controlled his Somersault Cloud and charged directly into the sea.
His strength is his source of confidence, so the unknown does not instill fear in him!
——
One day ago~
Xia Chen then sent Rayleigh to the island where Luffy and the others were training. After informing them of Rayleigh's identity, everyone looked on in surprise.
When Xia Chen said he would find someone to teach them, they were curious about who he would choose.
I never expected that they would even bring together such a famous powerhouse from the old era. As expected, Xia Chen's influence is still the greatest!
Upon seeing that there were four people, Rayleigh immediately wondered if he had agreed too hastily.
With four people, this is quite a heavy workload!
However, since he had already agreed to Xia Chen's request, Rayleigh naturally wouldn't say anything.
All I can say is that he deserved to earn that piece of gold!
Xia Chen had originally planned to call Hawkeye over, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
First of all, Hawkeye is hard to persuade. Even though Xia Chen is stronger than him, it's no use. Hawkeye doesn't fall for that kind of thing!
Furthermore, Rayleigh's swordsmanship is also quite good; he would be more than capable of teaching Zoro.
In that case, there's no need to go through all that trouble. Rayleigh... is quite good too!
After spending another day there, Xia Chen went directly to the location of the Eternal Night Sea given by Morgans.
Although Xia Chen has always believed in the wise saying, "Suffering first does not necessarily mean sweetness later, but sweetness first is truly sweet!"
But this time was a little different. He wasn't sure how long it would take him to find Dark Night Island, and if it took a long time, then that time would really be wasted.
That's why Xia Chen decided to come here to look for it first, and if he couldn't find it, he would bring Luffy back to look for it when he had time.
If you still can't find it... then don't blame him for dispersing all the dark clouds over the Eternal Night Sea!
He never considered himself a magnanimous person. Why could everyone else find someone but he couldn't? Did they look down on him?
So it's understandable that he reacted impulsively and did something extreme out of embarrassment.
——
Rewinding to the present, Xia Chen is currently traveling at high speed through the Eternal Night Sea, surrounded by pitch-black darkness.
An ordinary person in such an environment would not be able to see anything, but Xia Chen is not an ordinary person.
His keen eyesight allows him to see clearly even in the dark, as if it were daytime, without any hindrance.
However, Xia Chen was a little annoyed. Although he had only recently entered the Eternal Night Sea, his speed was extremely fast.
According to information provided by Morgans, he has now explored more than half of the Eternal Night Sea.

But so far, let alone an island, we haven't even seen a small mound.
Was his luck really that bad, with Dark Night Island just happening to be in the remaining sea area?
With this question in mind, Xia Chen's expression became quite interesting a few minutes later.
He... was not destined to be there? He searched the entire Eternal Night Sea but still couldn't find Dark Night Island.
This doesn't make sense!
Xia Chen stroked his chin, pondering with a puzzled expression.
After a while, Xia Chen shook his head and gave up on continuing the search.
He had already searched the entire area but still found nothing, so he didn't think that searching again would reveal anything.
There's no need to do any more of this futile work. Let's wait until we bring Luffy over and see what happens!
Let's see if this so-called Dark Night Island will give the World's Chosen any face!
With that in mind, Xia Chen turned his somersault cloud around and prepared to go back.
However, at that moment, Xia Chen seemed to sense something, and his figure, which was about to leave, stopped, and then looked down at the sea below.
He could feel a sudden fluctuation coming from there, and the fluctuation was getting stronger and stronger.
A few breaths later, the seawater below Xia Chen suddenly began to surge, splashing up huge waves and creating several enormous whirlpools.
"Huh? What's this?"
Xia Chen looked down curiously, and a guess formed in his mind.
A few breaths later, countless black mists suddenly appeared on the sea, followed by the silhouette of a huge black shadow appearing before Xia Chen's eyes.
Xia Chen could see it clearly; it was... an island?
Upon seeing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but smile. He thought he must have found Dark Night Island.
He was already ready to leave, but then Dark Night Island suddenly appeared in front of him.
No wonder Morgans said that many people come here hoping to find Dark Night Isle but can't. It really does depend on luck!
It seems that those who found this island were really lucky!
A little over a minute later, the commotion in the sea gradually subsided, and the entire Dark Night Island was revealed to Xia Chen.
However, Xia Chen was lost in thought as he looked at the island, a hint of surprise on his face.
This island... was vastly different from any island he had ever seen before.
Because... this island is entirely made of black mist!
The mountains, rivers, and trees were all composed of black mist. And this black mist was a darkness even deeper than the surrounding darkness!
An ordinary person might not be able to notice these differences, but Xia Chen has keen eyesight and is looking down from a high altitude.
So you can see everything on the island very clearly!
But the problem is... this is different from the information Morgans gave him!!
The Dark Night Island in Morgans's materials is quite different from the "island" he is seeing now!
He's not even sure if it's an island now.
Morgans's account describes Dark Island as being located in the Eternal Night Sea, so nothing can be seen there, but it is certain that Dark Island does have land.
It was no different from any other island, unlike this black fog-filled thing, which was so... eerie!
However, Xia Chen felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was quite interested in this situation.
High skill breeds daring!
With that in mind, Xia Chen prepared to go down and see if these islands made of black mist had any physical form.
However, just as Xia Chen was about to go down and check, another unexpected event occurred...

Chapter 236 Cerberus
Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
Right beneath Xia Chen's feet, the black mist on the island suddenly began to surge and converge.
After a while, a huge portal made of black mist appeared before Xia Chen's eyes.
Seeing this sudden change, several question marks appeared on Xia Chen's mind.
"The Gate to the Underworld?"
Before Xia Chen could figure out what was going on, the black mist inside the door surged and formed a vortex.
Immediately afterwards, a huge, dark blue claw suddenly emerged from the vortex, causing Xia Chen to raise an eyebrow.
This scene... it looks a bit off-center.
Is this something that should exist in this world? Spatial teleportation?
Before Xia Chen could react, the enormous claw slammed down on the black mist below, producing a dull thud.
Immediately afterwards, a dark blue energy spread outwards from the point where the claw landed.
All the black mist was instantly frozen upon contact with this energy. In an instant, the "island" that was originally all black mist was transformed into an Iceland.
The chill was so intense that even Xia Chen, who was high in the sky, couldn't help but feel a slight shiver.
It's much stronger than Aokiji's chilling aura. You have to understand that with Xia Chen's current physical strength, Aokiji's ice can at most cool him down, but it's completely impossible for him to tremble.
But now, even from this distance, he could feel a chill from the cold air. It seems... things are about to get interesting!
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the claw. He wanted to see what would crawl out next!
The mysterious creature didn't keep Xia Chen waiting long; soon after one claw appeared, the other claw also extended.
Then there's the head, and then... still the head??
One, two, three heads emerged from the vortex almost simultaneously, followed by the body, the tail...
When the creature appeared completely before Xia Chen's eyes, he recognized exactly what it was.
The legendary Cerberus, the ferocious beast that guards the gates of the underworld! This is nothing like the sewing machine on Moria Island.
Its body was entirely dark blue, with blue ice crystals covering its four claws, and its three heads all wore fierce expressions.
Three pairs of eyes stared intently at Xia Chen on the somersault cloud, then simultaneously roared.
"Woof!"
Xia Chen: . . . .
Several black lines flashed across Xia Chen's forehead. The image of the Cerberus that he had thought was extremely ferocious just now had plummeted in Xia Chen's mind after it barked that time.
In an instant, the class of people felt lowered!
All I can say is that this "woof" really didn't make Xia Chen feel that it was incredibly majestic; instead, it gave him the feeling of his family's watchdog.
Xia Chen looked at it calmly and said, "You could actually have kept quiet!"
As if they understood Xia Chen's words, the three-headed hellhounds instantly bared their teeth and then raised their heads together.
The azure energy gathered in their mouths, and when it reached a certain limit, it surged out and attacked Xia Chen all at once.
"Tailed Beast Ball?"
Xia Chen was slightly bewildered by this scene, but before he could think too much, he saw the three energy waves gradually merge together as they were heading towards him.
The moment the fusion was complete, a powerful aura swept over us, several times stronger than the three energy waves from before.
Your Perfect Dress Awaits
Seeing this, Xia Chen was dumbfounded again!
You three are so shameless? Teaming up for an attack?
"In that case..."
With a thought, Xia Chen created a clone that appeared beside him. The two assumed a familiar pose.
Xia Chen looked down at the three-headed hellhound and said calmly:
"You like combo attacks, huh? Since you don't like one-on-one fights, I also know a little about combo attack techniques!"
What? Cerberus is technically still a creature, just with three heads?
Xia Chen didn't care about any of that. Even when the three heads were arguing, it was like three dogs barking. Xia Chen would say one thing, and they would bark three times.
So, strictly speaking, it's not that one dog has three heads, but rather that three dogs share one body.
Having figured this out, Xia Chen's eyes narrowed, and he uttered two words.
"Dominate the world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a purple energy wave rushed towards the blue energy wave.
Before long, the two energy waves collided, and at the moment of impact, an incredibly powerful shockwave emanated from the two energy waves and spread outwards in all directions.
The dark purple and ice-blue energy beams were locked in a stalemate in the air, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Seeing this scene, Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of shock, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked down at the three-headed hellhound.
The Overlord's move was an even more powerful technique that he developed based on the Overlord's Sea technique, so he clearly understood how powerful this move was.
Especially with his current strength, if he were to unleash this move again, it would be an even more devastating force!
He confidently stated that in this world, no one except Im could withstand his attack head-on.
Of course, that was his thought before today; as for now...
The dog in front of him had directly blocked his path to dominance! This was truly incomprehensible to him!
Doesn't this mean that if this dog went out, it would definitely be a Yonko-level fighter? A Dog Emperor?
Does it have to be this abstract?
However, Xia Chen always felt that this dog was not a species of this world. He had no evidence, but he just had a feeling about it.
During the time Xia Chen was thinking, both energy waves dissipated into the air because there was no further energy output.
At this moment, Xia Chen wasn't the only one who was surprised; the three-headed hellhound below was also filled with confusion, its three heads tilted to the side.
Huh?
How come this human is completely unharmed?
In the past, no human could withstand this move! Today... is this some kind of ghost?
Before their dog brains could come up with any answer, Xia Chen's figure instantly appeared above the middle dog's head, raising the stick high in his hand and then slamming it down.
"Sky-Supporting!"
"Boom!"
The stick made a loud thud the moment it hit the dog's head, and then the three-headed hellhound was sent flying backward with a whimper.
Without hesitation, Xia Chen pressed his advantage and chased after the flying Cerberus.
However, just as he flew halfway up, a dark blue energy appeared around him. The moment he touched this energy, Xia Chen turned into an ice sculpture.
At the same time, the three-headed hellhound that had just been knocked away reappeared in front of the ice sculpture that had frozen Xia Chen, raising its giant claws high and slamming them down on the frozen Xia Chen.
"Sizzle!"
The ice shattered instantly, and Xia Chen's figure flew backward at an extremely fast speed...

"Cough cough!"
Xia Chen touched his slightly aching chest, looked at the three-headed hellhound opposite him, and said calmly, "You've got some skills, kid!"
"Woof!!"
Upon hearing Xia Chen's words, the three-headed hellhound proudly raised its head, its tail wagging wildly.
Seeing this, Xia Chen was slightly taken aback. It seemed that this silly dog really could understand human speech! Thinking of this, Xia Chen changed the subject.
"The speed is not bad, but the strength is a bit lacking!"
Xia Chen looked at the three-headed hellhound with indifference, as if he didn't take it seriously at all.
And that was indeed the case. If that claw strike was the dog's full power, then it posed no threat to Xia Chen whatsoever.
Just pay attention to the move that blocked his dominance earlier and the suddenly appearing dark blue energy.
He was only frozen because he wasn't familiar with the dog's attack methods.
And even if you give this dog a chance, it's useless!
Xia Chen had such a good opportunity with his body sealed, yet he only gave him a slightly painful claw strike.
I only felt a little pain, and at most, I had some chest tightness at the beginning, but now I'm completely fine.
Xia Chen twisted his neck, making a crisp sound, and his gaze fell on the three-headed hellhound before his figure vanished instantly.
When it reappeared, it was already in front of Cerberus, and it swung the club in its hand and smashed it down hard.
"Waaah~"
Cerberus only had time to let out a mournful howl before its body flew backward like an arrow released from a bow.
Xia Chen stood on the Somersault Cloud, looking down at the Cerberus below, and then charged towards it again.
The Somersault Cloud granted Xia Chen unparalleled speed, making him virtually invincible, at least in terms of rapid advances.
So in an instant, Xia Chen appeared above the flying Cerberus, gave it a friendly smile, and then slammed the club down hard.
"Sky-Supporting!"
"Bang!"
A dull thud was heard as Cerberus plummeted downwards at incredible speed.
With a loud "boom", countless ice shards flew everywhere.
This isn't over yet; strike while the iron is hot and finish him off! In battle, Xia Chen never gives his enemies a chance to breathe!
With a thought, another clone appeared.
"Dominate the world!"
A powerful purple energy wave poured down towards the three-headed hellhound below.
As soon as Cerberus got up, its three heads were still dizzy when it felt an extremely powerful aura, and then it instinctively raised its head.
It was only when they looked that they realized the three dog faces were so frightened they shrank back and hurriedly gathered energy in their mouths.
Three energy waves shot out instantly, condensing into one in mid-air.
But this time the result was different from before; the evenly matched situation did not occur again.
The two energy waves were locked in a stalemate in the air for only a moment before the purple one instantly shattered the blue one.
While Xia Chen used more force this time, the more crucial reason was that Cerberus reacted too hastily.
In a moment of desperation, one can exert very little strength.
After defeating Cerberus's attack, the Overlord landed directly on it.
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted as Cerberus's body crashed into the ice, shattering it and sending countless ice shards flying.
After all the noise subsided, a huge crater appeared below, and Cerberus lay quietly at the bottom of the crater, covered in wounds.
But the blood that flowed out was not red, but blue!
"Ooh~"
"Woof~"
"Aww~"
The three dog heads made different sounds one after another, then struggled to get up from the ground. They looked up at Xia Chen, their eyes filled with fear!
Xia Chen was somewhat surprised to see that the Cerberus was not seriously injured. He hadn't expected that this little dog was not only strong in attack, but also had good defense!
At least under normal circumstances, Xia Chen wasn't confident that he could still be alive and kicking after being hit by his own Overlord.
In his stone ape form, things would be much better. Although he would get injured, it would be much less severe than with this pup. And as long as his stamina wasn't completely depleted, any injuries he sustained wouldn't count. He could recover in an instant.
Xia Chen extended a finger and beckoned to Cerberus, saying casually, "You little bastard, come here!"
...
——
On the other side, on Amazon Lily, at the Royal Palace.
"I knew Lord Xia Chen couldn't possibly be dead. That ridiculous fake news from a few days ago, they really thought they could fool me!"
"Do you really think I'm that easy to fool? I'm not a three-year-old girl. Lord Xia Chen is so powerful, how could he possibly die so easily!"
Hancock gripped the newspaper tightly in both hands, her joy evident in her expression.
A short, white-haired old woman standing nearby twitched her lips at the sight and then said:
"Snake Princess, you didn't say that when you saw the newspaper about his death a few days ago. You were so angry that you burned all the newspapers and cried every day. Do you think I didn't see that?"
"Um?"
(╬▔盘▔)╯!
Hancock's face, which had been beaming with joy, instantly turned furious upon hearing those words. She then rushed towards the old woman and kicked her with her long, slender, white leg.
"Old woman, why do you talk so much nonsense?"
In an instant, the old woman flew high into the air and disappeared into the horizon, leaving only a sound echoing in the same spot.
"Snake Princess, are you going to kill me?"
"Tch~ That damned old woman, she does nothing all day but whine and complain!"
"Grandma New!"
A blonde and a green-haired woman nearby saw the old woman fly away and hurriedly shouted. Then they turned their gaze to Hancock and said helplessly:
"Sister, Grandma Niu was just saying something to you, was it really necessary to resort to violence?"
"Hmph! Who told her to expose my shortcomings? Kicking her away is the least I can do. And even if I did kick her away, so what? I'll definitely be forgiven, because I... am just too beautiful!"
As she spoke, Hancock tilted her head back and pointed ahead, giving off a condescending air.
In an instant, Hancock's two sisters' eyes turned into hearts, completely forgetting what had just happened.
After a while, when they came to their senses, they looked at Hancock with a sense of helplessness.
Their sister's beauty combined with the power of the Love-Love Fruit is too exaggerated, and her attraction to people is too strong. Even though they are women, they are still captivated by their sister's beauty.
A few breaths later, Hancock picked up the newspaper again, looked at Xia Chen's face on the paper, her cheeks suddenly flushed, and her eyes were filled with a dreamy look.
"Lord Xia Chen~"

Chapter 238 Dog meat... we can't eat it anymore!
Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
"Whoosh!"
A whooshing sound rang out as a massive body plummeted from the sky like a meteor, crashing into the ice with a deafening roar.
Xia Chen stood atop the somersault cloud, floating over a hundred meters in the air. Looking at the commotion below, a hint of a smile played on his lips as he calmly said:
"You little rascal, how are you feeling? Does your body feel a lot more comfortable now?"
During this period, Xia Chen used all his other methods except for the Stone Ape form, resulting in Xia Chen constantly suppressing Cerberus.
Thanks to the speed of the Somersault Cloud, Cerberus couldn't even react in time and was completely unable to resist.
But to be fair, its defensive capabilities are indeed quite strong; it withstood Xia Chen's full-force attack for quite some time.
There are almost no people in the world today who can do what it has done. If this dog is considered a pirate, it could definitely become one of the Four Emperors, and it should be the most powerful one among them.
After all, for Xia Chen now, the other four emperors are simply not a match for him.
If it weren't for the fact that there was an immortal old man in this world who had lived for eight hundred years, he would already be invincible in the world, and this was only a few months after he came to this world.
"Woof~"
A clear dog bark came from the pit below, but compared to its strong sound at the beginning, the sound was now much softer, and its weakness was easily heard.
The three-headed hellhound staggered to its feet from the pit, its body covered in countless wounds, some of which were even dented, making it look incredibly pitiful.
Xia Chen was somewhat amazed when the silly dog stood up again; this silly dog was really tough!
Fortunately, this silly dog's recovery ability wasn't strong; each injury remained on its body. Xia Chen thought to himself.
But what happened the next second made him feel like he was being slapped in the face.
Suddenly, eerie blue flames began to rise from the body of Cerberus.
Then, under the scorching of the eerie blue flames, the wounds on Cerberus's body began to slowly disappear, and its aura grew stronger and stronger.
In no time, the Cerberus's aura and appearance were no different from when Xia Chen first saw it.
As the flames gradually died down, Cerberus raised its three heads and looked at Xia Chen with a human-like arrogance on its face.
Xia Chen: . . . .
Did this backfire so quickly?
One second he was saying that this stupid dog's recovery ability wasn't strong, and the next second it was fully recovered?
Moreover, judging from the situation, it's not just his injuries that have recovered; his physical strength seems to have been fully restored as well.
What the heck is this ghostly blue flame? It's way too much! This is way more powerful than Marco's flames!
Could you wholesale one for him too? To be honest, Xia Chen was really envious of the flame's powerful abilities.
He didn't really care about recovering from injuries, he could do that too, but being able to recover his stamina was incredible, wasn't that like a perpetual motion machine? How wonderful!
However, this would put him at a disadvantage. If the idiot dog's flames were so excessive, a protracted battle would definitely be detrimental to him, since his stamina couldn't be restored.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen's eyes narrowed, and he made a decision.
In that case, he needs to finish this quickly!
Take care of this stupid dog before it can use its flames!
Okay, let's do it this way!
However, just as Xia Chen was about to use his Stone Ape form to quickly end the battle, Cerberus made a strange move.
Dress Up, Feel Amazing
It stretched out a paw and gestured for Xia Chen to stop.
"Um?"
This action left Xia Chen momentarily stunned, and he also stopped thinking about transforming into a stone ape.
He knew this silly dog could understand human speech, so Xia Chen looked at it and tentatively asked:
"You mean we're not going to fight?"
"Woof!"
Cerberus nodded and barked once. At the same time, it squatted down and sat on the ice.
"Oh, so you don't want to play anymore! I understand!"
"But whether you fight or not is no longer up to you. You attacked me first, and now you want me to stop? Dream on!"
"I'm telling you, I'm definitely eating dog meat today!"
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
Want to just not fight? How could that be? If this stupid dog were stronger than him, then Xia Chen wouldn't bother them if they didn't want to fight anymore!
But the problem is, he's better than this stupid dog!
Whether a true man can bend or stretch, or forge ahead without hesitation, depends on the strength of the other party.
The situation is now very clear: he has the advantage. What's there to be afraid of? Let's just go for it!
"Woof! Woof!"
Seeing that Xia Chen was about to continue attacking, Cerberus barked twice in alarm. Then it opened its mouth and spat out something that emitted a golden light.
After it appeared, the thing flew straight toward Xia Chen.
Xia Chen subconsciously created a protective shield in front of him, but after looking at it for a moment, he realized that the golden object didn't seem to be an attack. He couldn't sense any energy fluctuations from it.
However, Xia Chen did not let his guard down and did not remove the defensive shield in front of him.
However, what happened the next second made Xia Chen's eyes widen. He saw that the object had passed directly through his defensive shield without any obstruction.
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Xia Chen's forehead. This thing is so strange?
But just like before, this thing had no offensive capabilities whatsoever. After passing through the defensive shield, it slowly arrived in front of Xia Chen and then floated quietly in the air.
"Um?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Xia Chen's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly reached out his hand.
The moment it touched the object, it suddenly released a burst of golden light that illuminated the surrounding darkness, making the area as bright as day.
Xia Chen was so blinded by the light that he could barely open his eyes. The golden light shone for over ten seconds before slowly dimming and finally turning into a black object. But it no longer emitted any light.
Xia Chen looked at the object in his hand with some confusion. After examining it for a while, he murmured:
"What is this piece of?"
Don't ask Xia Chen why he came to this conclusion; it's simply because this thing has a completely irregular, flat shape, and it doesn't look like a complete object.
However, what puzzled Xia Chen was...
Why does this thing, which is clearly black, emit such a strong golden light?
Was it purely for showing off? Was the gold and glitter really that good-looking? For some reason, this thought popped into Xia Chen's mind, and he felt that this was very likely the reason.
After glancing at the item in his hand a few more times, Xia Chen put it into his system space.
If this thing is indeed a fragment of something, then we can definitely find the other parts on this "island" and then we'll know what it is.
After doing all this, Xia Chen looked down again. But the area was now completely empty.
Not only did Cerberus disappear, but even the door vanished, and the ice on the ground turned back into black mist, as if nothing had ever happened.
If it weren't for that fragment lying in the system space, Xia Chen would have thought that nothing had really happened.
But at this moment, he only wanted to say one thing:
"My plan to eat dog meat today... is ruined!!!"

Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
Xia Chen stood on the somersault cloud, took out the map he had obtained from Morgans, and examined it carefully.
"If that door we just saw was the gate to the underworld, then this is where I am right now!"
Xia Chen's gaze fell on a certain point on the map, and he murmured to himself.
"Looking at it this way, the next nearest place is…" Xia Chen's gaze moved across the map and then settled on a certain spot.
"Waterfall of Blood!"
The moment Xia Chen saw this name, a scene involuntarily flashed into his mind.
The three people arrived at a blood-red waterfall, and during the climb, two of them were frozen in place, while the third protagonist felt nothing.
Just as he was about to investigate, something suddenly darted out from the waterfall...
Gold Saints!!!
Just kidding, this was actually a scene described in another anime he watched in his previous life. He just suddenly remembered it.
I wonder if this waterfall of blood is any different from the one I saw in the anime.
Of course, there couldn't possibly be any Gold Saints, otherwise Xia Chen would have reported it as an intrusion!
With this in mind, Xia Chen put the map into his system space, identified a direction, and sped off in that direction.
——
Before long, Xia Chen could see his destination in the distance.
There's no way around it, this waterfall of blood is just too conspicuous. You're the only red one in a huge expanse of black mist, it's no wonder you get noticed!
And what's most striking is...
A colossal, towering tree!
A second later, Xia Chen arrived in front of the blood-red waterfall.
The "land" was also composed of black mist, forming a shape similar to a mountain peak.
Then, a crimson streak spread down from the top of the mountain, stretching across the black mist, looking exceptionally awe-inspiring.
Moreover, Xia Chen also discovered that this so-called waterfall was not water, but mist, only it was red and flowing.
At the top of the blood-red waterfall stood an enormous willow tree that Xia Chen had found incredibly awe-inspiring even from a distance!
The shock Xia Chen felt upon seeing it now was beyond words!
Looking up, you can't see the treetops at all; it's as if the treetops are connected to the sky.
Countless willow branches droop down, swaying incessantly even though there is no wind, creating an indescribable sense of awe!
Xia Chen couldn't help but sigh, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression froze.
There's no wind? Yet it can still move?
The moment this thought crossed Xia Chen's mind, he simultaneously felt a gust of wind coming from behind him and instinctively dodged to the side.
The moment he dodged, an enormous willow branch swept across the spot where he had just been standing.
The strong wind even gave Xia Chen a free haircut, which shows how refreshing it would have been if Xia Chen hadn't dodged.
Before Xia Chen could react, countless willow branches attacked him simultaneously.
(＃°Д°)!
Xia Chen only had time to make one expression before he was caught in a situation of constantly dodging.
The willow branches lashed at Xia Chen like a storm, giving him no time to catch his breath.
but...
It's no use!
If Xia Chen were to face these attacks using his own speed, he would indeed be overwhelmed, because these attacks were so dense and extremely fast.
But... he's cheating!
They say that with the Somersault Cloud under his feet, he is invincible!
Xia Chen's figure kept flashing in the air. Even though the attacks from these willow branches were extremely violent, they still couldn't touch a single hair on Xia Chen's head.
This relentless attack lasted for a full quarter of an hour.
Xia Chen stood on the somersault cloud, his face not red and his breath not out, as if nothing had happened, without expending any energy at all.
On the other hand, the willow branches of the towering tree opposite were swaying back and forth, as if... it was tired?
Watching this scene, Xia Chen inexplicably felt as if someone was standing in front of him, panting.
But... actually, it's not that far off!
Xia Chen realized from the attack just now that this tree also has its own consciousness and can now be called a tree spirit!
Human, beast. Tree, demon!
Once they develop their own consciousness, there's not much difference between trees and humans, just like the tree zombies created by Moria's Devil Fruit power or the trees created by Big Mom.
In some ways, they are no different from humans. Of course, only in certain aspects; in some aspects related to the reproduction of the race, the differences are still very large!
This racial boundary is still a bit difficult to cross!
Alright, let's get back to business. Xia Chen's gaze fell on the tree, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
If nothing unexpected happens, this tree is the "boss" of this Blood Waterfall!
Indeed, Xia Chen felt that his current actions were no different from running around and fighting bosses in a game.
In each place he arrives, there is a boss waiting for him to defeat. After defeating the boss, he can get a reward. This is basically the routine!
The so-called reward Xia Chen received should be the fragment he had just obtained.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen's lips curled up slightly as he looked at the tree spirit and said, "It seems this is a collection-type series of quests. I wonder if I'll get a fragment after defeating you?"
After saying that, Xia Chen narrowed his eyes, and then his body immediately became enormous.
Xia Chen immediately activated his Stone Ape form. He had no interest in playing around with these things anymore; a quick victory was the only thing that mattered, and he didn't want to waste his time!
"Rock Thorn!"
With a thought, countless sharp rock spikes suddenly appeared in the air. Then, looking at the tree, he smiled and said:
"You like to compare quantities, huh? I just wonder if you have more branches or I have more thorns!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chen's eyes narrowed, and then countless sharp rocks fell towards the willow tree, creating a spectacular scene!
Faced with this situation, the willow tree was not to be outdone, and it also manipulated its branches to meet the rock thorns.
"Bang!"
The branches collided with the rocks with a dull thud, and Xia Chen's rock spikes were broken through after only a short time.
But Xia Chen remained calm at all as he watched this scene unfold; this outcome was within his expectations.
Although none of those attacks landed on him, he could tell from the sheer number of attacks he dodged that they were indeed quite powerful!
However... do you have more branches than I have rock spikes?
Xia Chen believed he had many strengths, one of which was...
Outnumbered!
