Chapter 534: The Colosseum's Challenge [High Rank] ★★★
"Hi-yah! Let's see what gives you the right to rank alongside the Young Master!"
Dellinger, a young boy wearing high heels, charged at Xie Wen ahead of everyone else. He had wanted to deal with Xie Wen for Doflamingo earlier, and had remained quite resentful after being held back.
"Pistol High Heels!"
Dellinger leaped high into the air, aimed the pointed heel of his shoe at Xie Wen's nose, and kicked viciously.
Xie Wen dodged Dellinger's attack with a simple sidestep. Without drawing the bowstring, he swung Kitty Darling straight at him.
"Diweng Fist: Lower Back Pain Stance: Ice Form!"
Sticking out his rear in a strange pose that looked as though he had thrown out his back, Lao G attacked Xie Wen's shoulder, hoping to rescue Dellinger.
At first, Xie Wen had been quite interested in this qigong, which supposedly grew stronger with age and could store up power for explosive bursts. But later, when his memories resurfaced, he realized that Lao G was actually a little younger than Whitebeard and Garp. Yet by the Dressrosa arc in the manga, he had grown so old that he nearly died of old age in the middle of a fight. Xie Wen's interest had dwindled sharply after that.
After meeting Lao G, Xie Wen became even more certain of this. There was indeed a reasonably powerful aura inside him, but never mind comparing it to Garp's or Whitebeard's-even Old Man Chinjao's aura in his normal state was no weaker. The aura Lao G displayed outwardly was even more ordinary.
So Xie Wen had no intention of dodging. He continued swinging the Dial bow at Dellinger while raising his free hand and casually flicking it toward Lao G's incoming attack.
