Chapter 211 Rock King Emperor
Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter
A dull thud was heard, and Akainu's figure was instantly sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.
Akainu felt like his whole body was about to fall apart; the pain he was experiencing clearly told him just how powerful Xia Chen's palm strike was.
Everyone else also stopped abruptly after witnessing this scene, staring in shock at the unharmed Xia Chen.
"Sakazuki's attack was useless? Doesn't that mean we can't even break through his defense?" Kizaru's lewd face turned serious.
Even on their side, Akainu's attack power is already among the best; the destructive power of magma is widely acknowledged.
But now it's really like giving Xia Chen a bath, so... is there still any need for them to fight?
The Navy was incredulous, but Xia Chen had anticipated this outcome. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Akainu's attack head-on; did he really think Akainu couldn't dodge it?
It was simply to test the defensive capabilities of the Stone Ape form!
The result was, of course, very satisfactory to him. It seems that the description of the form's greatly increased attack and defense was not just empty talk!
and...
Although his current form sounds like a melee brute, his skills make him seem more like a Rock Archon.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen recalled the title of a certain Geo deity in a game he played in his previous life, which sounded incredibly powerful!
Xia Chen cleared his throat and said to everyone, "My Rock King Emperor form has unparalleled defense and attack power. You all need to work harder and not just tickle me like Akainu!"
Upon hearing Xia Chen's words, Akainu, who had just struggled to his feet, instantly turned extremely ugly. The others, on the other hand, had solemn expressions and were all thinking about how to break through Xia Chen's defenses.
However, they quickly made a decision: to use Armament Haki that destroys internal structures.
Generally speaking, Logia-type Devil Fruit users cannot cover their abilities with Armament Haki when using them, which is why Akainu was unable to break through his defenses. (This is a setting from this book; please refrain from criticism if you disagree!)
They simply refused to believe that Xia Chen's internal organs could be as hard as his external ones.
Then everyone became eager to try again and rushed towards Xia Chen once more.
Seeing this, Xia Chen's lips curled up slightly. He liked this kind of stubborn kid.
"Since you're so eager to be reborn into a better family, then I'll grant your wish!"
After saying that, Xia Chen had a thought, and all the rock spikes on the ground shattered into small rock pieces, which then condensed back into countless rock spears in the air.
With a wave of his hand, Xia Chen unleashed a barrage of rock spears that rained down upon them.
"Get out of the way!" one of the lieutenant generals shouted.
However, his current behavior is just like that of the Warring States period before, which has a clownish quality.
Because the other lieutenant generals around him had already begun dodging the incoming rock spears, there was no need for him to remind them.
Looking at the Navy and World Government personnel darting left and right, Xia Chen raised an eyebrow and said calmly:
"I can see that each of you has at least a year of practice experience, and you all dance very well!"
"In that case, let me see where your limits are!"
After saying that, Xia Chen waved his hand again, and countless rock spears appeared out of thin air, hovering in the air, their number at least several times that of before.

Those who witnessed this scene turned green with shock. They had already struggled to deal with the number of rock spears they had dealt with earlier, and now there were several times that number? How were they supposed to withstand them all?
Immediately, everyone started thinking about solutions, but Xia Chen didn't have that much time for them to think slowly.
With a thought, countless rock spears once again hurtled towards them.
In an instant, the sounds of flesh being torn apart rose and fell, accompanied by screams of agony.
Some pirates who hadn't completely left felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this scene!
Especially those prisoners who came out of the Infinite Hell, they were once again glad that they had not broken their promise to Xia Chen!
Otherwise, they really wouldn't even know how they died. Speaking of which, we should really thank Bondi Waldo for being the first to break the agreement.
Otherwise, they might be the ones breaking the agreement, and then they'll be the ones who die!
Brother Waldo, I will definitely burn lots of paper money for you in the future to thank you for saving my life!
Just as these pirates were celebrating their good fortune, the marines opposite Xia Chen were in for a rough time.
Most ordinary lieutenant generals would have little ability to resist Xia Chen's move, let alone those below the rank of lieutenant general.
Even if you can block one, ten, or a hundred rock spears, so what?
What about a thousand? Or ten thousand?
In other words, one would need to be at least close to the strength of a candidate general to barely withstand Xia Chen's storm-like attacks. However, injury would still be unavoidable.
Only those with the strength of a general or above can handle Xia Chen's attacks with relative ease.
However, Xia Chen never expected that he could wipe out all these people with this move; that was unrealistic!
He only needs to use this one move to eliminate most of the people. As for those who are strong enough to stay, he has something even better waiting for them!
All I can say is that the more resilient they are, the "better" the treatment Xia Chen gives them!
He still has a bunch of interesting things he hasn't used yet!
As for now... let him test the power of this body!
As his thoughts raced, Xia Chen's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, reappearing beside Akainu.
Xia Chen stood on the Somersault Cloud and threw a punch hard at Akainu.
Just as Akainu blocked Xia Chen's rock spear attack, a fist appeared in his field of vision the next second.
This left him no time to retaliate. Crossing his arms in front of him and covering them with Armament Haki for defense was the best he could do in such a short time.
The very next second after he made that move, Xia Chen's fist landed on him.
"Bang!"
Another dull thud followed, and Akainu's figure was sent flying backward once more. He moved with incredible speed, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
Xia Chen was very satisfied with this scene. The power in this form was indeed much stronger than in the normal form.
He was quite good to Akainu; the first person he thought of when he had this power was to test him.
But there's nothing we can do about it; after all, Akainu is the one who shouts the loudest about killing him, and he's always the first to rush in whenever he wants to cause trouble.
Since Akainu has such "affection" for him, he naturally can't let him down, and the first person he thinks of when he wants to do something is him.
After all, he's an outstanding young man who grew up in the sunshine, and he's very familiar with the concept of reciprocity!

With such exaggerated defensive capabilities in this form, Xia Chen completely abandoned any thoughts of defense and relied on his somersault cloud to continuously weave through the crowd.
It's really satisfying to give anyone a good beating!
Xia Chen in his normal state couldn't do this, because when he's attacking, he has to be wary of other people's attacks, so he can't be as carefree as he is now.
As the saying goes, the best defense is a good offense. However, when a person abandons defense and only focuses on offense, then one can only say that he is invincible!
Xia Chen is in this state now. He's no longer a tiger entering a sheepfold; he's a dinosaur entering a sheepfold.
In no time, almost everyone on the field had been hit hard by him.
After this process, the number of people on the field decreased further. The lieutenant general was practically nowhere to be seen.
There was no way around it; the difference in strength between Xia Chen and them was too great. It would be strange if they could even stand up after being attacked by Xia Chen for several rounds.
Under normal circumstances, Xia Chen wouldn't dare say where he ranks in terms of strength in this world, but in his current form...
All he could say was that he feared no one except Im!
The five elders were all injured, and Akainu, who had just flown out, returned in a disheveled state.
There are now only about ten people left on the field, each of whom has the strength of a general or close to that of a general.
At this moment, everyone's face was extremely solemn. Their plan to break through Xia Chen's defense with domineering aura had failed in their previous attempt.
It's useless, completely useless!
All their attacks were like tickles to Xia Chen, causing him no harm whatsoever.
This is quite normal, since Xia Chen's entire body is made of stone in this form, not just an outer layer of stone covering with flesh and blood underneath.
Under such circumstances, it would be completely impossible for them to achieve the effect of internal destruction through Armament Haki.
Nasujiro complained to the remaining members, "I told you guys not to be so reckless and to come up with a battle plan!"
"You said I was bad at the game? Pfft, now you're getting beaten like a dog yourself!"
Judging from his tone, he's obviously a seasoned sly fox!
"Nasujiro, you…"
Upon hearing Nasujiro's sarcastic tone, Maz-sei's expression turned even uglier.
"Alright, that's enough. None of this matters. We really underestimated Demon King Xia Chen. We never expected him to have such a powerful form!"
"The problem now is... how do we complete the task the adults have given us!"
"With Demon King Xia Chen's current strength, it's nothing short of a pipe dream for us to kill him!"
"Um..."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. For a moment, no one knew what to say.
Indeed, the current problem is how to complete their mission, and if they fail, the consequences...
After a long pause, the Legal Martial God, Vochuli Saint, said:
"Let's wait and see. We'll see if there are any side effects to this form. Theoretically speaking, the more powerful the form, the stronger the corresponding side effects!"
"us..."
"You just mentioned that, theoretically, his ability to create clones is greatly limited, but reality seems to contradict the theory!"
Before Saint Vocuri could finish speaking, Saint Nasurou interrupted him.

Sacred Virtue of Vociul: ...
"Let's not dwell on those old, trivial matters. What we need to discuss now is the problem we're facing. If we still can't find a solution in the end, then we'll have no choice but to ask you, sir, to take action personally!"
After saying this, the group fell silent again, and finally nodded in unison, saying, "That's the only way!"
They knew how much effort the adults had put into killing Xia Chen; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent them all out.
Before today, they didn't understand why the adults were doing this. Based on what Xia Chen had done and the strength he had shown, it was not worth them making such a big fuss.
But now, after fighting Xia Chen, they understand that adults are adults, with foresight far beyond their reach.
If Xia Chen cannot be killed here today, it will definitely affect the rule of their world government.
"Hey, what are you guys spacing out for?"
Just as the group was still pondering a solution, Xia Chen's calm voice rang out.
They instinctively turned around and saw Xia Chen looking at them with a deep gaze, his hands clasped in front of his chest, looking extremely relaxed.
This made them subconsciously feel a surge of joy. Could it be that... their guess was correct?
Does this form have significant side effects? Otherwise, why would it look like this after only a short time in the battle?
They knew it! Such an exaggerated increase in strength must have a lot of drawbacks. As clever as they are, they really have a long-term vision!
But what Xia Chen said and did next froze their joyful expressions on their faces.
"Oh, you're all so happy. It seems you're really looking forward to my next move!" Xia Chen raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly questioning.
He had no idea that this group of people had imagined so much in such a short time.
All he knew was that he was about to unleash a powerful move, but these people were all very happy and looked down on him.
Since that's the case, don't blame the Rock King Emperor for being ruthless!
Xia Chen stood upright like a pine tree, looking at them calmly, then parted his lips slightly and uttered a few words.
"The heavens move... and all things manifest!"
The moment the words left his mouth, a rift tore open in the sky behind Xia Chen. Immediately afterward, a massive meteorite slowly emerged from it, then crashed down upon the Five Elders.
His meteorite is far superior to the kind that Fujitora summons; its strength is equal to that of his body.
Therefore, its power is naturally extremely strong!
That's why Xia Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest. That's how he, the Rock King Emperor, would do it when he unleashed his ultimate move. Putting everything else aside, he had to maintain a high level of coolness!
At this moment, the Five Elders and others on the opposite side were horrified when they saw the huge meteorite hurtling towards them. Even though they were still some distance away, the aura emanating from it already made them feel extremely frightened.
Without a word, everyone scattered in all directions. This time, there was no clown who alerted others and slowed themselves down. Everyone was very self-disciplined!
Given the meteorite's current speed, they have a chance to escape the attack zone before it hits. Especially Kizaru, he's already out of there!
As long as it doesn't hit them head-on, it won't be a big problem for them.
Therefore, based on their assessment, this move... is nothing to fear!
but...
"Can you escape?" Xia Chen murmured, then stretched out his hand and waved it downwards.
In an instant, the meteorite's descent speed increased several times, reaching above everyone's heads in the blink of an eye.
Everyone: ? ? ?

Chapter 213: A Bit of a Waste of Clothes

You have no shame, you have no martial ethics!
The thought had barely crossed everyone's minds when the meteorite struck the ground.
"Boom!"
In an instant, an enormous roar resounded, and the newly formed island shook violently from the impact.
Centered on the point of impact of the meteorite, countless rocks around it rapidly shattered.
The enormous commotion even widened the eyes of the pirates who had already sailed some distance away.
When they saw the huge meteorite, they felt a chill run down their spines and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
No wonder Xia Chen told them all to leave. He was the only one who stopped the navy. It turns out he wasn't doing it out of a sense of righteousness or self-sacrifice, but because he was afraid they might accidentally kill them all!
They will definitely brag about what happened today to their grandchildren for the rest of their lives!
"Xia Chen... has gotten so much stronger again?"
Zoro felt a bit helpless as he sensed the commotion coming from afar. He had originally thought that his significant improvement this time would allow him to close the gap with Xia Chen.
Unexpectedly, the gap widened further and further, which really left him speechless.
"What kind of feed is Xia Chen eating? He's already so strong, yet he can still improve his strength so quickly! It doesn't make sense!" Luffy said, somewhat indignantly.
He felt a bit unbalanced inside. Every time he thought he was getting closer to Xia Chen, he would find that it was just an illusion. It was so painful!
o(╥﹏╥)o!
"We're used to Xia Chen being like this, aren't we? You all know him well, his strength has increased like a monster!" Sanji said after exhaling a smoke ring.
His words were met with unanimous approval from everyone, who nodded subconsciously.
The atmosphere among everyone was very relaxed, with no worry about Xia Chen whatsoever. This was a testament to their trust in him!
"Monster? Sanji! I can't pretend I didn't hear that!"
A voice came from behind them. The familiar voice immediately brought joy to their faces, and they hurriedly turned around to look...
——
Xia Chen looked at the enormous pit in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.
This move did not disappoint him at all; it truly lived up to the reputation of Lord Rock's skill!
To be honest, he was also confused when he first saw this skill. He didn't understand why his stone ape form was so different from the stone ape form of the Great Sage in his memory.
Even these strange skills have appeared. After thinking it over, I can only come to one conclusion!
That means he likely possesses these skills because he knows them. The Great Sage's status is too high, so he can materialize all the skills he remembers.
But none of that matters anymore. He doesn't know the specific reasons, but as long as he has these outrageous skills now, that's enough.
Moreover... it's not just this skill that's crossover!
"Cough cough!"
A series of coughs came from the deep pit. Xia Chen looked down and saw that everyone was struggling to stand up.
His clothes were all tattered and torn, completely obscuring his image as the leader of the World Government and a high-ranking naval officer.
And this is only the outward appearance of their condition; their internal health is in even worse shape.
That was a meteorite that big falling down! It's a testament to their strength that they didn't die!

Just then, a yellow streak of light appeared before the group. Looking at their disheveled state, the lewd face of the person who had been in the photo showed an embarrassed expression for the first time.
That's right, this person is none other than Kizaru, who used his Devil Fruit ability to run a great distance as soon as he saw the meteorite falling.
His attire contrasted sharply with that of the others in the pit, causing a stir among them. Their gazes towards Kizaru were filled with resentment.
Why are you the only one among so many people who is so clean, and also the one with the least injuries?
However, this is something everyone can only think about in their hearts. It's his ability to run away, and there's nothing to say about it, but there will definitely be some resentment.
But these aren't major problems. The biggest problem now is...
How should they deal with Xia Chen next?
These attacks really took their toll, and everyone suffered serious injuries.
The Five Elders were alright, as they were all mythical beasts with extremely strong recovery abilities, but the others were not in such good condition.
Especially those CP0 members with the strength of a general; their strength has only just reached the threshold of general.
Although he would be considered a formidable force on the high seas, he is no match for Xia Chen now.
At this moment, their bodies were swaying precariously, as if a gust of wind could blow them over, and Xia Chen didn't need to exert much effort at all.
And that was exactly what happened. After struggling to stand up, these people collapsed again within seconds, and this time they never got up again.
There are only four Five Elders still standing on the field, plus the commander of the Knights of God, and three admirals including Akainu!
There were eight people in total, a stark contrast to the large, thronged crowd that had faced Xia Chen not long ago.
This was only the result after Xia Chen launched several attacks, and what made them most desperate was that Xia Chen was completely unharmed.
There's absolutely no burden from this form! It feels just like normal, you can use it however you like!
Looking at the remnants of his army, Xia Chen lost all interest in continuing the game. It was time to end this war!
Xia Chen lightly raised his hand, watching the golden light flash across the eyes of the group, and then said calmly:
"Planetary Devastation!"
In an instant, countless rocks appeared out of thin air around everyone and quickly enveloped them.
"What...what is this?!"
The group struggled and tried to break the rocks on their bodies, but their rate of destruction was too slow compared to the rate at which the rocks were solidifying.
In no time, the rocks completely enveloped them, forming eight giant rock spheres, each tens of meters in diameter, floating in the air—a truly spectacular sight!
Xia Chen admired his masterpiece, a smile appearing on his lips. Then his body began to shrink, eventually returning to its normal size.
but...
Within a fraction of a second, Xia Chen completed the entire process of taking the clothes out of the system space and putting them on.
"This form is indeed powerful, but it wears out clothes a bit!" Xia Chen complained.
"No one should have seen it, right?" Xia Chen subconsciously glanced around. After a while, he looked away.
Okay, it's all rocks, no one else! Otherwise, his domineering and unparalleled image would be ruined.
Shaking his head, Xia Chen shook off these irrelevant thoughts and looked up at the eight giant rock spheres above, stroking his chin and pondering:
"What should we do with these people?"

Chapter 214 Who do you think you are?

Xia Chen has simply restricted their movements, similar to what happens in a certain movie; he hasn't killed them.
Of course, this doesn't mean that this move only has sealing abilities; it's actually stronger than the one in a certain movie.
He only needs to control the rock to continuously apply pressure inwards, and he can achieve the same effect of killing enemies.
But now...
Feeling the vibrations emanating from the eight giant stone spheres, Xia Chen felt it was time to make a decision quickly.
If we don't kill them, they'll be able to break through this rock sphere after a while.
His strength had not yet reached the point where he could easily render them powerless to resist by using this move.
Just as Xia Chen was pondering, he suddenly sensed the presence of a group of people and couldn't help but look over.
Just then, a group of people walked towards him, stopping about ten meters away. The man at the head of the group looked at Xia Chen and smiled, saying:
"Nice to meet you, Demon King Xia Chen! I heard you previously claimed to be my nephew? I wonder if that still counts?"
Xia Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "Hey! Shanks, don't slander me! You said you heard it yourself, and don't you know that hearsay is the least reliable thing?"
That's right, the newcomers were none other than the Red-Haired Pirates, and the one who was speaking to Xia Chen just now was none other than Shanks, one of the Four Emperors.
However, Xia Chen would never admit to saying what Shanks said! Back then, he was still young and inexperienced, and needed to find fictitious uncles everywhere!
Now that he's all grown up, of course he doesn't need to do that anymore! Otherwise, wouldn't he be a generation below Shanks? That wouldn't do!
Shanks chuckled and continued, "I see. So it seems Hawkeye lied to me. He's really despicable!"
"Huh? Hawkeye actually said I'm your nephew? That's outrageous! He deserves to die!" Xia Chen said with an exaggerated expression.
Hawkeye: ? ? ?
The Red-Haired Pirates were stunned for a moment when they heard Xia Chen's reply, probably because they had never seen anyone talk like that before.
After a moment, Shanks said with a smile, "Xia Chen, you are indeed very interesting!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I don't really like it when men say that word to me!" Xia Chen said hurriedly. He felt that it was strange to hear Shanks say that.
I wonder if it's because in his past life he saw a couple who had a very good relationship, and it started when one of the men said to the other man, "You're very interesting."
Ugh! The thought sent a chill down Xia Chen's spine, and he quickly stopped the wicked idea from his mind. Thinking about it any longer would lead to disaster!
Shaking his head, Xia Chen looked at Shanks and said, "You didn't come here just to meet me, did you?"
In fact, Xia Chen could more or less guess Shanks' purpose, and what Shanks said next confirmed Xia Chen's guess.
"I want you to let them go!" Shanks said calmly, looking at Xia Chen.
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he said, "The reason!"
"For the sake of balance on the high seas!" Shanks said, looking into Xia Chen's eyes and enunciating each word clearly.
"These people are all high-ranking officials in the Navy or the World Government. Killing them rashly would definitely cause great turmoil in the world!"
"Take the Navy for example. Although it might sound strange for me to say this, I'm a pirate, but to be honest, if the Navy didn't exist, the pirates on the high seas would become even more rampant, which would be a huge problem for most civilians!"
Dress Up, Feel Amazing
"At that time, the people will live in constant fear, always worried about whether pirates will attack!"
"Furthermore, the World Government bears the responsibility of maintaining the balance of the oceans and is an indispensable entity for the world!"
"Indeed!" Xia Chen replied thoughtfully.
Upon hearing this, Shanks' face immediately lit up with joy, and he replied, "Right! You think so too?"
Shanks looked at Xia Chen with surprise in his eyes, the kind of look that comes from finding a kindred spirit, but Xia Chen's next words made him freeze in place.
"No, no, no, you might have misunderstood me. I was saying that it's really inappropriate for a pirate like you to say such things!"
...
The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly after Xia Chen said this.
Before the redhead could say anything, Xia Chen continued:
"I do agree with what you said about the Navy. Without the Navy, it would indeed have a huge impact on the world, making pirates even more rampant and making life even more difficult for ordinary people!"
"But what you said later about the World Government was a bit of blatant lying, wasn't it?"
"Maintaining the balance of the ocean? How can you say such a thing? Their so-called balance is just keeping the ocean from getting out of their control, isn't it?"
"Putting everything else aside, the bunch of Celestial Dragons and boars they raise are disgusting enough, aren't they? And they call themselves descendants of the Creator?"
"Pah!"
"You must know what these self-proclaimed aristocrats have done, right? Treating people like slaves at will, disregarding human life, and you think none of this matters?"
"As long as it benefits them, the World Government can allow even the most heinous pirates to become Shichibukai, so-called legal pirates!"
"Isn't this ridiculous?"
"So... I can spare those few from the Navy if I feel like it, but those old men from the World Government, they must die!"
Xia Chen said calmly, but his tone conveyed an unquestionable attitude.
After Xia Chen said that, he made a decision. He decided to let Aokiji and Kizaru go, while Akainu would go down to the underworld with the Five Elders.
The main reason for doing this is that when Aokiji and Kizaru fought him before, they did not intend to kill him, but rather they intended to capture him and take him to Impel Down.
But Akainu has always wanted to kill him, and just because he is a pirate, he's like a dog that won't let go of him.
Then he naturally wouldn't tolerate him; those who kill will be killed in return!
Anyway, the loss of Akainu in the Navy won't have a big impact. He spared the lives of Sengoku and Garp, even though they were already quite old.
But as long as they haven't retired, they can continue to be used like cattle and horses!
With this in mind, Xia Chen slightly raised his hand, preparing to control the rock spheres to crush the Five Elders to death. But then the red-haired man's voice came again.
"Xia Chen, can you give me some face? Let them go. Although they are indeed despicable, their absence would cause great turmoil in the world!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen paused, his hand still slightly raised, and turned his gaze to the red hair.
After a long pause, he said:
"Give you face? Who do you think you are?"

Xia Chen said bluntly, showing no respect whatsoever to the redhead.
Do you really think your pride is so great?
Xia Chen now possesses the power to act with almost no restraint in this world, and the only person he fears is unlikely to make a move against him in the short term, according to his estimation.
Therefore, he doesn't need to give face to anyone at all!
For him, face is something he gives to others, not something others ask him to give face to!
The moment Xia Chen said this, the atmosphere at the scene froze.
Xia Chen continued speaking to Shanks, "Afraid that killing these people will affect the balance of the world? Shanks, are you kidding me?"
"You're just a pirate, what business is it of yours what the balance of the world is? You're talking like you're one of the Five Elders!"
Actually, Xia Chen wasn't too surprised that Shanks said such a thing, since although the One Piece manga didn't explicitly state it when he transmigrated in his previous life.
However, based on various existing clues, Shanks is very likely a Celestial Dragon, and belongs to the same family as Figarando Grindelwald, who is currently residing in one of the rock spheres.
Many fans even said they were father and son in the past, but whether that's true or not is still debatable. However, it's safe to say that there's definitely a relationship between them.
So... Xia Chen is very curious now, if he were to make a move against Figarando Grindelwald, what would Shanks do?
Redhead fell silent upon hearing Xia Chen's words, and after a long while, he said, "What if I insist that you give me face?"
"Um?"
"Hahaha..."
Xia Chen was puzzled for a moment, then burst into laughter. He stopped after a while, then looked at the redhead with a faint gaze and said:
"I won't give anyone face! I've decided to take their lives, and no one can save them, I said it!"
"I have no reason to let a group of people who want to kill me go!"
"If you insist on saving them, you'd better be mentally prepared to use Luffy's face on me!"
"Luffy's face? What do you mean?" Xia Chen's cryptic question left them somewhat bewildered.
"What I mean is, considering how well you've taken care of my idiot captain in the past, even if you lose this time, I won't kill you for Luffy's sake."
"But... this will only happen once!"
Xia Chen was very determined about killing the Five Elders; he would never back down!
His original purpose in constantly improving his strength was to live freely in this world and do whatever he wanted!
So now that he has made this decision, he will not be swayed by anyone!
Upon hearing this, the red-haired man remained silent for a long time before slowly drawing his Griffin from his waist. He looked at Xia Chen and said, "In that case, I'd like to experience your superior skills!"
After Shanks finished speaking, the aura of the crew members behind him suddenly changed, and their eyes were filled with fighting spirit as they looked at Xia Chen.
The next second, the red-haired man's eyes narrowed, and an incomparably powerful Conqueror's Haki burst forth from his body, attacking Xia Chen.
Feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from him, Xia Chen frowned, then said calmly:
"As expected of the man hailed as having the strongest Conqueror's Haki, your Conqueror's Haki is indeed something else!"
After saying that, Xia Chen suddenly released his Conqueror's Haki, which rivaled the red-haired man's Conqueror's Haki.
However, in terms of Conqueror's Haki, Xia Chen is indeed not as good as Shanks now, but he can still resist it.
According to Xia Chen's estimation, the red hair's Conqueror's Haki is likely to be the next level after the top level.

Although he can't reach that level now, it wouldn't be difficult for him to do so!
His life was extraordinary, no further explanation needed!
After a while, the two simultaneously withdrew their Conqueror's Haki. The clash of Conqueror's Haki just now was merely a normal greeting between two people with Conqueror's Haki in the pirate world.
The real battle is about to begin!
Xia Chen sighed softly.
"Ugh, the clothes I just put on are going to tear again!"
The moment he finished speaking, Xia Chen's body rapidly grew larger, and he immediately activated his Stone Ape form.
However, he didn't immediately attack Shanks and his group, but instead...
With a wave of his hand, Xia Chen conjured countless rocks out of thin air, which then covered the eight enormous rock spheres above.
In an instant, the volume of the rock sphere continued to increase, while the vibration gradually decreased. After the vibration subsided, the rock sphere, which was originally only a dozen meters in diameter, became a rock sphere with a diameter of several tens of meters.
That's right, Xia Chen did this to reinforce the "seal," otherwise the original rock sphere wouldn't be able to trap them for long.
Now that it's been reinforced, we can keep them trapped for a longer period of time!
Xia Chen then turned his gaze to the red-haired man and the others, and said, "If you can defeat me, then you can naturally save them, but if you can't, their fate today is to die here!"
"Come on, let me see what the Red-Haired Pirates, known as the Iron Wall Pirates, are all about!"
Xia Chen spoke calmly, standing still, his gaze towards the red-haired man and the others carrying an air of indifference.
To be honest, he was genuinely curious: didn't these people see how he single-handedly took down the entire Five Elders group, leaving only a handful of them?
They actually dare to cause him trouble now? If they hadn't seen it, it would be understandable, but if they did see it and still chose to do this…
That's something to think about. Do they really think they can defeat him? Interesting!
Xia Chen didn't think too much about it; he'd find out how things went soon enough.
Xia Chen stood still, raised his right hand, and then extended a finger, beckoning to the red-haired group.
"You...come here!"
? ? ?
For a moment, Shanks and the others were stunned. Why did they feel a strange sense of humiliation?
Driven by this feeling, they rushed towards Xia Chen without the slightest hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, several of the red-haired man's subordinates arrived in front of Xia Chen and launched various attacks at him.
Xia Chen stood still, ignoring their attacks.
"Boom!"
"..."
The attacks struck Xia Chen with continuous booming sounds, but his body didn't move an inch. Instead, he said calmly:
"What, haven't you eaten? Why are you so weak? Did you come here to tickle my back?"
Upon hearing Xia Chen's words, the group's expressions turned extremely ugly, and they attacked even more vigorously.
But some things are simply impossible. Xia Chen's defenses were so strong that even Akainu couldn't break through them, let alone the Red-Haired Pirates' officers.
Could they possibly be stronger than Akainu? What a joke!
After another ten seconds or so, Xia Chen lost patience and stopped playing with them.
Then it became a one-sided stomp, and within a few breaths, Xia Chen slapped them all away with one slap each.
Several of the less capable cadres were slapped down by Xia Chen and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
After they got up, they tried to rush towards Xia Chen, but an arm blocked their way.
"No need to go any further, you can't break through his defenses!"
After stopping the group, the red-haired man spoke calmly, then stared intently at Xia Chen.
"Let me talk to him for a bit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the red-haired figure rushed towards Xia Chen. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Xia Chen.
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
Shanks' speed is a bit too fast!
Before Xia Chen could continue to be surprised, the red-haired man drew his Griffin sword from his waist and swung it at Xia Chen from a distance.
"Gods, beware!"
In an instant, a black and red blade of energy, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, hurtled toward Xia Chen.
As if sensing something, Xia Chen did not stand still and let them hit him as before, but instead threw a punch at the blade energy.
"Bang!"
The instant the fist and the blade energy collided, an incredibly powerful shockwave was released, shattering the surrounding ground layer by layer.
After all the noise subsided, the land around where Xia Chen stood was in ruins, with ravines everywhere!
Xia Chen slowly raised his palm, looked at his fist, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, a large gap was cut into his fist, and the entire fist was cut in half.
This made Xia Chen sigh with emotion. As expected of the strongest single-target attack in the anime, its power is truly undeniable!
Akainu and his crew fought him to the death before but couldn't leave even a scratch on him. Now, Shanks has come and injured him like this.
Fortunately, his arms are now made of stone; if they were made of flesh and blood, it might have been a bit more troublesome.
But as he said, his entire body is now made of rock, so for someone who can create rock at any time, is it a big deal if his fist breaks?
With a thought, Xia Chen's shattered fist was instantly absorbed by countless rocks, and in less than a second, it was restored to its original state.
This only depleted a small portion of his stamina. In his current stone ape form, the only way to defeat him is to exhaust his stamina.
Otherwise, no matter how shattered his body is, he can recover in an instant!
Xia Chen looked calmly at the red-haired man and said, "Very effective, Shanks! No wonder it's a strike worth three billion!"
Because the plot has changed significantly, Xia Chen hasn't encountered the guy who avoids everything yet, otherwise he could show him how to deal with someone who avoids everything.
He can just use his fists and go for it. I've already told him the method; whether he can do it or not is up to him.
Meanwhile, the red-haired man standing opposite Xia Chen looked rather grim. He hadn't expected Xia Chen to so easily parry his divine evasion, and he seemed completely unharmed.
He always felt that saying things like "very effective" was sarcastic, but what did "a single strike of 3 billion" mean?
Before Shanks could figure it out, Xia Chen's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, causing his pupils to shrink involuntarily.
"This speed, how..."
Before the red-haired man could finish speaking, Xia Chen threw a punch at him.
Red-haired quickly positioned Griffin in front of him, and then successfully flew backward at an extremely fast speed.
To be fair, in terms of pure speed, Xia Chen is indeed inferior to Shanks, let alone in his Stone Ape form.
But the problem is that he has the Somersault Cloud. What does his slow stone ape form have to do with the speed of the Somersault Cloud?
"Boss!"
The officers on the red-haired ship shouted in alarm upon seeing this, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Xia Chen.
They had actually seen Xia Chen and the Five Elders fighting from a distance.
But because it ended so quickly, they only saw figures flash by for a short while before eight giant rock spheres floated into the sky.
They couldn't make a judgment on this situation, whether Xia Chen was too strong or the Five Elders were too weak, after all, the Five Elders and others were quite old.
Moreover, they have almost no record of making a move, making it difficult to judge their strength.
However, it's a bit exaggerated that Xia Chen managed to defeat all eight of them while simultaneously facing three generals.
They were very familiar with the strength of these three generals!
So, they were already fully prepared before facing Xia Chen, and they tried their best to imagine how powerful Xia Chen was.
But when they actually faced it, they were still utterly horrified. Whether it was the previous attacks failing to break through their defenses or their leader being so easily knocked away, it was all the same.
They were very familiar with their leader's strength, and in their view, with Whitebeard's strength declining, their leader was already the strongest of the Four Emperors.
It was evident from their battle with Kaido at sea that they should have arrived much earlier, but Kaido's interference caused a delay.
But during their boss's battle with Kaido, he was always on the winning side, which is why he was able to break through Kaido's obstruction and get here.
They couldn't remember the last time they'd seen their leader fall behind right from the start.
Just as they were still reeling from the shock of Xia Chen's strength, Xia Chen had already arrived in front of Shanks and punched him again as he landed.
However, this time the red-haired man was prepared in advance, and when he lifted Griffin, his fist collided with Xia Chen's.
Black and red lightning surged around the two men's bodies. If you looked closely, you could see that the fist and the knife did not actually touch, but rather formed a void between them.
One shockwave after another continued to spread outwards.
Xia Chen was extremely surprised. He hadn't expected that Shanks could actually exchange energy with him in this form. He knew that when he fought Akainu and the others earlier, no one could withstand his punches.
"interesting!"
A slight smile appeared on Xia Chen's lips, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
When he fought the Five Elders, none of them could withstand his attack head-on, so he thought of transforming into the Rock King to finish the battle quickly.
This form doesn't utilize its greatest advantage at all; close-quarters combat is what this form excels at!
Now that Shanks is here, someone who can withstand his attacks, he can play around a bit more and experience the power of this form!
Thinking this, Xia Chen spread his arms wide, and his fists rained down on the red-haired man like a storm.

Five minutes later~
"Bang!"
A dull thud rang out, and a figure was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground some distance away.
Immediately afterwards, a huge figure appeared in front of this person as well.
Xia Chen calmly looked at the red-haired man slowly rising to his feet and said, "Now... do you still think you can defeat me, Shanks?"
Xia Chen spoke calmly, but his gaze toward Shanks held a hint of amazement.
In the past quarter of an hour, he had exchanged countless blows with Shanks, and the result of the exchange surprised him greatly.
Shanks is the first person he has encountered so far whose attack power can rival that of his Stone Ape form.
The Five Elders, including Akainu, struggled greatly when facing his attacks, but Shanks seemed to handle them with ease.
Of course, Shanks is only comparable to Xia Chen in terms of attack power. Overall, he is no match for Xia Chen, but this is still surprising.
It's worth noting that Xia Chen easily dealt with the Navy and the World Government in this form, and it seemed to be done with great ease.
However, he used his Dharma King's skills at the time; if he had simply used close combat, he certainly wouldn't have been able to defeat them so easily.
Xia Chen and Shanks are currently engaged in close combat the entire time, and haven't used any of their other skills, which is why it takes five minutes.
Shanks' attack power is indeed almost the same as his Stone Ape form's attack power, but the problem is that Xia Chen himself cannot break through his own defense.
The Stone Ape form's defensive capabilities are even more impressive than its offensive power!
If we exclude Im, Xia Chen can confidently say that his form is undoubtedly the world's strongest shield!
But he would never say that his attack is also the strongest spear! The theory of contradiction does not exist for him.
Therefore, with the same attack power but vastly different defense, Shanks did not last long against Xia Chen.
After all, he can ignore most of Shanks' attacks, while Shanks cannot!
Even Shanks, how many times could he land an attack like Godstalker? Use it like a basic attack? Xia Chen didn't believe it!
It's not like Hawkeye. Shanks' God Evasion consumes Conqueror's Haki, and Haki is something that is consumed.
Therefore, as the battle dragged on, Shanks began to show his disadvantages.
Finally, after five minutes, Xia Chen seized an opening in Shanks' defenses and landed a heavy punch on him. This led to their current standoff.
Shanks forcefully suppressed the surge of blood and qi, his eyes filled with solemnity as he looked at the figure before him.
He never expected Xia Chen to be this powerful. Just a few months ago, when Hawkeye told him, he was just a kid with decent strength and an interesting personality!
Now, just a few months later, Xia Chen has grown to this level. The speed at which his strength has improved is so fast that even riding a rocket wouldn't be possible!
Xia Chen said calmly, "Shanks, do you still think you have a chance to defeat me?"
Shanks remained silent for a long time.
After some time, Shanks sheathed his Griffin sword, seemingly indicating that he did not intend to continue fighting Xia Chen.
"Hmm? It seems you've made your decision!"
Xia Chen was a little puzzled at this moment. Logically speaking, Shanks was not the kind of man who would give up on his goal so easily.
Although he is no match for Xia Chen now, his injuries are not serious, so there is no reason not to give it a shot.
What Shanks said next made Xia Chen understand why he did that.
"Xia Chen, how about we make a deal?" Shanks said, looking at Xia Chen.
"Hmm?" Xia Chen raised an eyebrow and continued, "What can you offer me in exchange for this deal?"
"Let me tell you beforehand, there aren't many things in this world that can interest me. Do you... have any?"
"I believe you'll want what I'm telling you!" Shanks said, his tone full of confidence.
"Oh? That's not necessarily true!"
Xia Chen disagreed, to be honest, he himself didn't know what could possibly interest him now.
However, he was quite curious to see what Shanks' expression would be if he wasn't interested in what Shanks brought out later, given his current confidence.
"What I want to tell you is... news about a Devil Fruit!"
"Devil Fruit?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen's tone was filled with disappointment. He had thought Shanks could provide him with some earth-shattering news, but it turned out to be about Devil Fruits.
To be honest, he has absolutely no interest in Devil Fruits; no Devil Fruit in this world could be stronger than his.
Their status is not even in the same league!
Just like the feat he just accomplished—single-handedly defeating the Navy and the World Government—it all comes down to his abilities!
Otherwise, with his current setup, he'd be at most on par with Aokiji, and he wouldn't be able to beat him like he's a baby.
So he really had no idea what Shanks was talking about regarding Devil Fruits!
Didn't you see that he just got his hands on the fruit of Satan Saint not long ago?
If we kill the remaining Five Elders and Akainu later, that'll be five more top-tier Devil Fruits. Wouldn't that be even more profitable?
Xia Chen even felt there were too many Devil Fruits. Currently, only Zoro and Sanji on their ship haven't eaten any, and judging from their expressions, they don't seem to be planning to either.
So even if you give him a lot of Devil Fruits, they'll just gather dust in the system space and be completely useless!
With that in mind, Xia Chen looked at Shanks and said calmly, "If that's what you're talking about, then there's no need to talk. I have no interest in Devil Fruits!"
Are you sure?
"Of course..."
"Hades, the Lord of the Underworld!"
Before Xia Chen could finish speaking, Shanks interrupted him, saying a name that Xia Chen was very familiar with.
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "What did you say!"
"Human-Human Fruit - Hades Form!"
"Judging from your reaction, you've heard of this name before. So, are you interested?"
Xia Chen remained silent, not saying a word. He was feeling a little awkward!
He just swore he wasn't interested in Devil Fruits, but now...
Okay, he admits he miscalculated! This fruit is indeed the only Devil Fruit that can arouse his interest. He never expected that the information Shanks knew about Devil Fruits was about this one.
The fruit that Rocks possessed, as he put it!
Xia Chen didn't answer the redhead immediately, but instead asked, "How much do you know about this fruit?"
"I don't actually know much. The only thing I'm sure of is that it's a fruit with the name of a god. Everything else is just a vague understanding!"
...
...
Xia Chen: ? ? ?
Redhead: ? ? ?
"If you only have a superficial understanding, why are you standing there like that? What are you waiting for?"
Redhead: ...

After a period of time ~
Xia Chen stroked his chin with one hand, looking thoughtful. He was processing the information the red-haired man had given him.
Red Hair learned of this from a stone tablet that is several hundred years old, which contained a brief introduction to the fruit and a strange statement.
"Above the Xuanque Gate, the Gate to the Underworld, the Waterfall of Blood, the Valley of Gale, the King's Palace!"
Shanks speculated that this sentence was likely information about the location of the fruit, but he had been trying to decipher its meaning for three years.
But that doesn't stop him from knowing from the description how powerful this Devil Fruit is, which is why he brought it out to make a deal with Xia Chen!
To his surprise, Xia Chen actually knew about the existence of this fruit, because he had never even heard of it before seeing the stone tablet.
Whether it's the name or anything else!
After a long silence, the red-haired man asked, "So, can this information buy their lives?"
Xia Chen remained silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Okay!"
Although the information Shanks provided didn't explicitly state where the fruit was, this alone was likely worth more than the lives of the Five Elders.
The lives of the Five Elders are nothing to him; with his current strength, he could easily crush them.
With this in mind, Xia Chen had a sudden thought, and the giant rock sphere above suddenly collapsed inward before exploding violently.
"Boom!"
Rocks of all sizes crashed to the ground from the air, creating a continuous rumbling sound.
After the commotion subsided, a series of coughs echoed through the smoke and dust; the eight members of the Five Elders were coughing incessantly. Xia Chen's final blow had certainly given them a bit of pain.
Xia Chen glanced at the group and said calmly, "I'll let you go this time for Shanks' sake! Next time we meet... will be your death day!"
After saying that, Xia Chen rode his somersault cloud towards the horizon and soon disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving behind a bunch of bewildered people.
"You left so easily?"
One of the red-haired man's subordinates asked curiously. Although they hadn't known Xia Chen for long, judging from his resolute attitude just now, he didn't seem like the type to give up so easily!
Was the information they gave him too important? That's why he left without saying a word as soon as he heard it?
After much thought, it seems there's only one possibility! Oh, wait, there's another possibility!
Perhaps it's because their boss's influence is too powerful?
"Shanks, thanks!"
Figarando Grimold looked at the red-haired man and said calmly.
"Hmm!" The red-haired man nodded, then looked at them and said, "Demon King Xia Chen is very powerful. You've seen what happened this time. Don't provoke him in the future!"
"Impossible! He made us suffer such a huge loss this time, how can he just let it go like that? I will make him pay the price!"
Nasujiro said bitterly, his tone full of resentment towards Xia Chen.
As one of the Five Elders and one of the visible leaders of the World Government, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? He was almost killed! He couldn't quell his hatred without killing Xia Chen!
"Nasu Shoulang, why didn't you say this when Xia Chen was still here? Now that he's gone, you're barking like a madman?" Maz Sheng said without any politeness.
Just as Nassou was about to retort, a voice suddenly rang in their ears.
"That's right, why didn't you say so when I was here?"
Upon hearing this voice, the Five Elders and the others couldn't help but turn their gazes over, and their expressions froze when they saw a certain figure.
Xia Chen looked at the group with a calm gaze and a slight smile on his lips.
"Hi everyone, we meet again!"
Everyone: ? ? ?
"Xia...Xia Chen, what are you doing here?" Nasu Shoulang said tremblingly, completely losing his previous aggressive demeanor.
"Isn't it obvious? I miss you guys terribly as soon as we're apart!"
"So I came back to find you again. I remember saying something like when I left... the next time we meet will be the day you die, right?"
Xia Chen said with a smile, but his words sent a chill down their spines.
"You...you're breaking your promise! Didn't you just promise Hongfa to us?" Maz Sheng said, his face also grim.
"Yes, I did promise him I'd let you off this time, but this is the second time!"
After saying that, Xia Chen narrowed his eyes, stomped his foot, and countless rocks burst out of the ground, instantly forming a thick rock wall that enveloped the red-haired man and the others.
Then Xia Chen stomped his foot again, and countless rocks appeared out of thin air, this time covering the Five Elders and the others, temporarily restricting their movements.
If they were at their peak, Xia Chen's move might not have worked, but the problem is they aren't now. After such a long battle, they've taken one of Xia Chen's skills after another.
They no longer have much ability to resist!
Then Xia Chen's figure rushed towards them instantly. During the rush, Xia Chen split into five clones, and then six Xia Chens went towards the six people respectively.
In no time, he arrived in front of the six people and gave them a bright smile.
"The world is beautiful, so... goodbye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the six Xia Chens simultaneously raised their sticks high and slammed them down hard.
"Bang!"
Six muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and black and red Conqueror's Haki surged around them, exuding a terrifying aura.
The bodies of the men crashed to the ground, kicking up countless plumes of dust and creating six large craters.
Even so, they still retained their breath, which surprised Xia Chen.
The people in this pirate world are incredibly resilient! He just hit several people in the temples with his club, and they're still alive. That's pretty amazing!
It seems he's still not strong enough!
However... if he's not strong enough, he can just finish him off with another blow; he's good at that!
Xia Chen slightly raised his hand, and then six sharp rock spikes appeared out of thin air, and the next second they simultaneously stabbed at the heads of the few people in the pit who were barely breathing.
He refused to believe that they could survive with their heads pierced!
"Pfft!"
The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh rang out, and a rock spike was embedded in the heads of all six men. At the same time, their auras began to slowly fade away.
Soon after, their presence could no longer be detected.
Xia Chen looked at his masterpiece and smiled with satisfaction.
Want him to let these people go? That's ridiculous!
He said he would kill them today and he would never let them live until tomorrow, otherwise wouldn't he be breaking his promise?
Breaking a promise to others is acceptable, but breaking a promise to oneself is not! Otherwise, he won't be able to get past his conscience.
Then Xia Chen began his work of collecting the fruits. No matter what the situation was, he always had to keep in mind the importance of cleaning up after the battle!
At the same time, a tremendous roar followed...

Xia Chen looked toward the source of the sound and saw the redhead staring at him with a gloomy expression.
"What's wrong, Shanks? Why are you looking at me like that?" Xia Chen asked deliberately.
"Xia Chen, is this what you promised me—to let them go?" the red-haired man asked in a hoarse voice.
"Didn't I let them go?" Xia Chen retorted.
"I've already let them go once, but he showed up in front of me a second time and said he wanted to kill me. I can't keep tolerating this, can I?"
"You can't just stand there and let him kill me, can you? Tell me, is what I said reasonable or not!"
Redhead remained silent, but his eyes remained gloomy. After a long while, he turned to his crew and said, "Let's go!"
He then walked to the back without saying anything else, and the officers on his ship glanced at Xia Chen warily again before following the red-haired man.
"Quite decisive, Redhead!" Xia Chen murmured to himself.
Xia Chen was a little surprised by Shanks's decision to leave without saying a word. He had thought that Shanks would continue to question him about why he did this.
That's good, it saves him some trouble!
And if they start fighting again later...
Today, there will be another pile of corpses here. Just like he said before, he is a man of his word. If Shanks and the others clash with him a second time, then he can only send them to meet their beloved God!
So this might be why Shanks turned around and left so decisively, because he knew there was no point in staying any longer!
The Five Elders have already died, so his purpose in coming here has failed. Therefore, leaving is the best option.
Otherwise, engaging in more verbal sparring will only make you angrier and won't achieve any results!
Shaking his head, Xia Chen shook off his thoughts and looked at the two people still standing there.
The moment Xia Chen's gaze swept over them, Aokiji and Kizaru immediately assumed defensive stances, their hair standing on end, and they focused their attention intently on Xia Chen.
"Don't be so nervous, you two. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. Why would I have kept you alive until now?"
As he spoke, Xia Chen waved his hand, a move that startled Aokiji and Kizaru. One of them transformed into a flash of light and darted away for an unknown distance, while the other immediately created an ice wall in front of him and flew backward.
After a while, neither of them sensed any attack, so they gradually slowed their pace and looked in Xia Chen's direction.
At Xia Chen's location, a massive hemispherical rock wall stood atop it, completely still and silent.
This left the two of them wondering what Xia Chen was planning to do.
The next second, as the two watched, the rock sphere began to collapse, kicking up countless plumes of dust, and a figure slowly emerged from the dust.
Xia Chen looked at the two people who were some distance away from him and felt a little helpless. He was just going in to change his clothes. Was it really necessary to make such a fuss?
He's a peace-loving person, and he said he wouldn't do anything to them, and he meant it. They didn't believe him, and now he has to go and find them. Honestly!
After all, his next plan still required the cooperation of these two people, which was one of the reasons why Xia Chen wanted to keep them behind!
Lost in thought, Xia Chen leaped into the air, and the Somersault Cloud instantly appeared beneath his feet, arriving in front of the two in the blink of an eye.
This startled the two of them, and sweat beaded on their foreheads. They quickly assumed defensive stances.
They felt like they weren't themselves anymore, completely lacking the demeanor of generals, and always acting out of character.
But there's really nothing we can do about it. The very dignified Akainu is probably already having tea downstairs right now, and they don't want to go there for the time being.
Xia Chen watched as the two remained silent, and the two of them also remained silent, creating an eerie silence.
After a while, Xia Chen made a decision, and then...
"Pfft!"
Xia Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his body began to sway.
His action startled Aokiji and his companion, who involuntarily took a few steps back.
But Xia Chen was so engrossed in his performance that he didn't notice what was going on with them.
Xia Chen swayed from side to side, spitting out mouthfuls of blood every now and then, while saying, "How...how is this possible!"
"The side effects of this form are so severe! Is this all the divine fruit Rocks was talking about?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chen collapsed to the ground, then pointed his arm to the sky and said haltingly, "I... am not reconciled!"
"Bang!"
Xia Chen's arm fell to the ground with a dull thud, and at the same time, his neck tilted to the side, and he lay "peacefully" on the ground.
Aokiji and Kizaru: ? ? ?
After a long while, Kizaru finally asked in a low voice, "What... is going on?"
"Just like he said, he... is dead?" Aokiji answered uncertainly.
Upon hearing this, Kizaru couldn't help but roll his eyes at Aokiji.
"Do you think that's possible? One second he's full of energy, and the next he suddenly dies? Even anime doesn't depict things like that!"
"Um..."
The two remained silent for a long time.
However, what happened next startled them.
Xia Chen's corpse began to glow, growing brighter and brighter, before exploding into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.
...
The Battle of Marineford has come to an end!
——
On the other side, aboard the Moby-Dick.
"Whitebeard, how much longer can you live?"
"Would you like me to set off some fireworks so you can leave with some dignity?"
"Hey, Xia Chen, what do you mean? Are you cursing our old man to die?" Ace grabbed Xia Chen's collar angrily, his tone unfriendly.
Xia Chen helplessly shrugged and said, "What do you mean by 'curse'? How much longer do you think he has to live in his condition?"
Upon hearing this, Ace subconsciously glanced at the hole in Whitebeard's chest, and his expression darkened.
"Gurala la la la!"
The white-bearded man laughed heartily.
"Ace, birth, aging, sickness, and death are common occurrences in a person's life. I've lived long enough and have no regrets!"
"On the contrary, you are all young and have many years ahead of you. You should live a long life!"
After saying that, Whitebeard turned his gaze to Xia Chen and said, "Especially you, Xia Chen, the World Government will definitely not let this go after you did such a big thing in Marineford!"
"You're in for a rough time!"
"That shouldn't be the case. I feel like my life will be very comfortable from now on!" Xia Chen said mysteriously.
"Um?"
Seeing Xia Chen's appearance, the white-bearded man was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked Xia Chen another question.
"By the way, how did you escape after we left?"
