" Xia Chen, there's no need for that! We don't need many of these things!" Nami exclaimed anxiously.
If it hadn't been Xia Chen who said those words, she would have punched anyone else.
Xia Chen did not answer, but continued to look at the Rice Rice.
Upon seeing this, Rice Rice was overjoyed; he had stumbled upon a fat sheep!
Then, they eagerly took everything out of the conch shell, piling it all over the ground.
Xia Chen looked at these things and was a little curious about how the conch shell could hold so many things.
After counting the items, Rice Rice said, "My God, the total price of these items is seven hundred million Beli. What do you think..."
After saying that, he rubbed his hands together and looked at Xia Chen with an excited expression.
"Seven hundred million Beli?"
Upon hearing this number, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment; they had never seen so much money in their lives!
Even if we used all the people except Xia Chen to exchange for the bounty, it still wouldn't be enough; we'd have to double it again!
However, Xia Chen calmly replied, "Okay!"
Then he made a move to go back to the cabin to get the money, but as he turned around, a wanted poster accidentally fell down and landed in front of Rice Rice.
Rice Rice glanced at it curiously at first, then instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Then he looked up at Xia Chen, and saw that he was sweating even more, and his legs were even trembling.
At this moment, Xia Chen picked up the wanted poster and said, feigning embarrassment, "Oh, I accidentally dropped it, I'm so sorry!"
"I'm thinking of throwing this away. Wasn't it just that I encountered a shady merchant while buying things on some island and ended up killing everyone on that island?"
"This navy is really something, making such a big fuss over nothing, offering such a high bounty for me!"
"Mr. Rice Rice, don't you think so? Do you think it's excessive for me to kill the entire island because of a shady businessman? Not at all, I don't think so!"
After hearing Xia Chen's words, Rice Rice panicked even more. Just now his legs were trembling, but now his whole body was shaking. He stammered, "It's... it's not an exaggeration at all!"
"Um... I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll leave these to you, Mr. Xia Chen. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Rice Rice darted into the conch shell with lightning speed, then jumped into the sea and ran away.
Watching the Rice Rice depart, Xia Chen smiled slightly and turned to look at the crowd.
"Done!"
Σ(⊙▽⊙" a
However, everyone on the ship was stunned.
This is a move they could learn from for a lifetime.
Luffy couldn't help but take out his bounty poster and said thoughtfully:
"So this is how you can use a bounty poster!"
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Xia Chen was still sitting on his exclusive throne, drinking the fruit tea that Sanji had just made; life couldn't be more comfortable.
Suddenly, Xia Chen's eyes narrowed, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
Then extend two fingers toward your left side.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Xia Chen's fingers were seen steadily catching a knife that was being attacked at him.
"Wow, Zoro, when did you master Armament Haki?"
"Just now!" Zoro's calm voice came through, his tone tinged with excitement.
However, upon hearing this, Xia Chen's lips twitched, and he said helplessly:
"You're really good to me, aren't you? As soon as you mastered Armament Haki, you used me as a test subject! And you always resorted to sneak attacks!"
"I'm helping you train your Observation Haki, what do you know?" Zoro retorted, leaving Xia Chen speechless for a moment.
Zoro was absolutely right. With Zoro launching sneak attacks every day, Xia Chen really did feel that his Observation Haki had improved somewhat.
Even though it's just a tiny bit, every little bit counts! Little by little, it adds up!
"Speaking of which, why can't I break through your defense even though I've mastered Haki and am wielding a sword?" Zoro asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen immediately rolled his eyes at Zoro and said rudely, "You want to fly? You've only been using Haki for a short time, how could you possibly break through my defense?"
"Let's talk about it again after you've practiced for another ten or eight years!"
Xia Chen answered calmly, then his palm suddenly appeared in front of Zoro's face and slapped him.
Upon seeing this, Zoro's pupils contracted, and he immediately held his sword horizontally in front of him.
The moment his palm touched the sword, sparks flew, and Zoro was sent flying in less than half a second, landing on the deck below.
After finishing all that, Xia Chen picked up the fruit tea, took a sip, and lay down to bask in the sun.
However, Xia Chen hadn't been in the sun for long when he suddenly felt darkness before his eyes and curiously opened them.
What came into view was a huge ship falling directly from the sky.
Σ(⊙▽⊙" a
This scene startled Xia Chen.
At the same time, the other people on the ship also noticed the unusual darkening of the sky and looked up.
"Oh no! The ship is falling from the sky!"
Chopper's eyes widened as he shouted.
"Idiot, how could a ship fall from the sky?" Sanji had just stepped out of the cabin, couldn't help but scoff at this.
However, when he looked up...
"The ship really fell from the sky!!!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Xia Chen finally came to his senses.
"Certainly!"
As the word "fixed" was uttered, the enormous ship floated in the air, as did the tiny wood chips around its hull.
To be honest, the moment he opened his eyes, he was startled to see a ship crashing towards him. Even though he considered himself to have weathered many storms, he was taken aback.
"Wow! Xia Chen, your Body Immobilization Technique is really amazing! You can even freeze such a big ship!"
"Keep it down, keep it down! These are just small tricks!" Xia Chen said pretentiously.
After a moment of astonishment, everyone remembered a question.
"Speaking of which... why did the ship fall from the sky?" Luffy asked curiously, looking up at the sky.
"This sea area is really strange, and my Log Pose is broken! It keeps pointing to the sky!" Nami chimed in at this moment.
"Perhaps it's not that the Log Pose is broken, but rather that it's pointing at an island in the sky, the so-called Sky Island!" Robin said calmly as she walked over.
" Sky Island!!"
(☆▽☆)!
Upon hearing this, Luffy instantly showed an excited expression.
"An island floating in the sky? That sounds interesting!"
Strictly speaking, it's not the islands floating in the sky, but the sea!
"The sea floats in the sky?"
Hearing this, Luffy became even more excited and shouted to Nami, " Nami, let's go to Sky Island!"
"Idiot! A sea floating in the sky? Are you out of your mind? How is that possible?!" Nami said speechlessly.
"That's not how it works, Miss Navigator!"
"In this sea, you can disregard all common sense, but the only thing you must trust is the Log Pose in your hand!"
"It's likely that it's acting this way because it's attracted by the Sky Island's magnetic force."
"That's right, the Sky Island do exist!" Xia Chen chimed in at this moment.
In an instant, all eyes were on him, and then Luffy happily shouted, "Awesome! Sky Island! Sky Island!"
Nami then asked Xia Chen, "How do we get to Sky Island?"
"Well, I'm not entirely sure either, but we can look for clues, like... the ship overhead!"
