Chapter 16
Xia Chen leaned on the railing, rubbing his temples with both hands, his head ached, looking at Luffy who was yelling and wanted to punch him.
He worked the whole night yesterday, and was exhausted physically and mentally.
Of course, with his current physical and mental qualities, it is impossible for him to be so tired after working the night.
Because he was also practicing the use of Observation Haki that night.
This was not achieved through hard work, so there was no gradual process. As soon as Xia Chen turned it on, a lot of voices flooded into his mind, which had a great impact on him. At least in the short term, it was unlikely for him to use it perfectly in battle.
Fortunately, there was no opponent in the East China Sea who needed to use his Observation Haki.
In addition, Xia Chen discovered that one of the advantages of this skill-based Observation Haki is that it is an active skill. As long as you turn it on, you will continue to consume your spirit and physical strength. For him now, it is a big burden, but Xia Chen doesn’t have to worry, it will suddenly become ineffective.
You should know that there is a setting in the world of One Piece.
The user must keep calm to use the Observation Haki. Once the mind is disturbed, the Observation Haki will be invalid, but this does not work for Xia Chen.
Xia Chen only wants to say: God-level collection technique, yyds!
After all, the ship was openly flying the pirate flag. He did not go to the dock, but Nami personally waved it and docked here.
Without waiting for the ship to dock, Luffy could not wait to rush up.
In front of them was a narrow mountain road, which was simply a good ambush site. Zoro noticed Xia Chen looking around, he came closer and asked in a low voice: “Is there any problem?”
“I feel this place…” Before he finished speaking, a sound of running suddenly came from the end of the narrow mountain road, followed by a trembling male voice, “I am Captain Usopp, this place has been occupied by our pirate group, 80 million subordinates, please…you leave immediately, otherwise, I will make you look good.”
Speaking the most frightening thing in the most cowardly tone, but revealing a sense of poverty.
You already have 80 million subordinates, and you still warn the fart, if you take out 1/10 of them, even the three admirals of the navy will have to avoid their edge here.
In the war at the top, there are only 100,000 marines!
But.
Luffy believed it, Zoro believed it, and Nami hid behind Xia Chen nervously, holding his clothes tightly.
“80 million?” Xia Chen also felt like he was going crazy. Have you ever thought that there could be such powerful pirates in the East China Sea?
Even the Kingdom of Goa, which ranks among the top in comprehensive national strength in the East China Sea, doesn’t have so many troops, and even their citizens don’t have 80 million.
As for Luffy, he was also scared and stood there, his mouth stretched so long that his chin was about to hit the ground, but after reacting, his eyes were full of stars and he exclaimed, “So powerful!”
Then he rushed up, it seems that he really wanted to see this pirate group with 80 million pirates.
“Luffy!” Zoro was anxious when he saw it, and without saying a word, he drew out his samurai sword and chased after him.
“Must-kill Gunpowder Star!”
The projectile wrapped in flames flew towards the direction of the pirate flag, accurately. Xia Chen just thought about it, and a circular water curtain surrounded the entire boat.
This so-called gunpowder star was extinguished by the sea water.
“Ghost, Captain, let’s run!”
“Yes, Usopp, we can’t do it.”
“No, this is our hometown, I must protect it, you three go to the village quickly and tell everyone that the pirates are coming, let them hide quickly, I, Captain Usopp, will stop them here.” Usopp’s tears were streaming, and his solid nose was trembling, which was very funny.
He has too many shortcomings, but he never lacks courage when he needs to stand up.
“Water escape…ah, no, ninjutsu, fog hiding technique!”
A large amount of fog came from nothing, covering the entire coast and the places on both sides of the mountain road at a whirlwind speed.
“Ah, I hit my head.”
“Who stepped on my foot.”
“I can’t see clearly, what should I do?”
“Hurry, run!” Usopp almost didn’t even have any impression of his father, and it was mainly from the photos at home. This Xiluobu Village was just an inconspicuous island in the Kingdom of Goa.
He had no chance to meet a Devil Fruit user, let alone such news.
Where had he ever seen such a weird thing?
He made the most correct reaction and ran away, but a voice that came and went sounded beside him.
“Cervical vertebrae, throat, heart, kidneys…”
UsoppHe was so scared that he almost peed himself. He didn’t have the strength to pull the slingshot in his hand, and his running action began to get out of shape.
But he never begged for mercy.
[Defeat Usopp and get 5 draws! ]
But the plug-in prompt has come. Xia Chen frowned and was not very satisfied. Although Usopp’s current strength is very weak, his identity is not ordinary. It shouldn’t be so low!
Is it because he hasn’t officially joined the Straw Hat Pirates? But since the Straw Hat Pirates have added himself, is there any need for him to join?
After this thought flashed through Xia Chen’s mind.
He has come to Usopp’s side. During this period of time, through the continuous accumulation of physical fitness, Xia Chen’s height has exceeded 180cm, just a little taller than Usopp, but the latter still feels like being corroded by a giant beast.
“Your name is Usopp, right?”
“You know what it means to attack the pirate flag of another pirate group, right? Declare war!”
“It seems that you are ready to be killed, but since you are the captain, I will give you a chance to call out all your 80 million crew members. We will bury them all at once.”
Usopp was so scared that he couldn’t even speak, but Xia Chen added the last straw that broke the camel’s back, “Of course, including this island.”
“Ah!” Utop screamed and fainted.
“Xia Chen, you are so boring, please disperse the fog, I can’t see clearly.” The beautiful voice came from behind.
“Immediately!” Xia Chen smiled, and as soon as he thought about it, those fell directly to the ground. Everyone walked up along the hidden passage next to the mountain wall, looking at the branches tied with black flags around them, and the traces of a large number of dragging on the ground.
I suddenly understood that the so-called 80 million pirates were nonsense.
“Hey, what about the 80 million pirates? Did Xia Chen beat them away by himself? You are so awesome.” This is Luffy.
Zoro and Nami were speechless. Xia Chen rolled his eyes, and then Nami punched Luffy’s head fiercely, “Stupid, can’t you see this? He is lying to us.”
Luffy screamed in pain, with a look of disappointment on his face, and he didn’t know why he was disappointed.
Then he immediately recovered, shouted that he was hungry, and ran towards the village that could be seen in the distance.
“What should we do with this person?” Zoro flicked out a blade with his fingers, and the meaning was very clear, should he kill him?
After all, as a swordsman, he attaches great importance to honor. Since he has become a pirate, he must try his best to protect everything in the pirate group, which is also a kind of training for the heart.
“Forget it, young people are good, they fall asleep right away.”
“We’re almost catching up, Luffy doesn’t have any money, we’re here to buy a boat today, we have to leave a good impression.”
The two agreed greatly, and Xia Chen led the way, heading towards the village.
As soon as they left, Utop got up quickly, forced himself to control his trembling legs, and ran towards the mansion on the top of the mountain.
