Kizaru immediately looked down, a knowing look on his face, with a hint of helplessness.
At this moment, Doflamingo's glasses, which he had never taken off in ages, were shattered, revealing his rolled-back eyes. He had clearly lost consciousness.
Kizaru shook his head and headed towards Marineford with Doflamingo in tow.
Well, that means we've lost a Shichibukai- level fighter!
On the other side, Xia Chen, having finished throwing a punch, stood quietly in place, watching Kizaru's series of actions indifferently.
He didn't even need to look to know that Doflamingo had definitely lost consciousness. After all, that punch he just threw was delivered with full force, without holding back at all.
There's nothing we can do; what can we do when Doflamingo is always looking for trouble?
Xia Chen turned to look at the five people standing on the wall, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
Now that he's already made his move, there's no reason to go back.
Of these five people, he has only had no interaction with Hancock yet; he has had some contact with the others to varying degrees.
Of course, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hancock will definitely be the one she gets to know the most in the future!
"Um?"
When Xia Chen's gaze fell on Hancock, he noticed something strange.
That was the moment she met Xia Chen's eyes, she subconsciously lowered her head, and then...
If Xia Chen's Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils are not mistaken, then she should be blushing!
???
Seeing this situation, Xia Chen was a little confused. Judging from Hancock's behavior, even if she hadn't fallen in love with him, she definitely had feelings for her!
Once Hancock develops feelings for you, winning her over is easier than having a meal!
The problem is...
They'd never seen them before!!!
He admitted that he might be only slightly less handsome than some of his readers, but the problem is that it doesn't make sense!
Hancock isn't the kind of woman who judges by looks.
There are plenty of guys in the original work who are more handsome than Luffy, but Hancock still hates them and has absolutely no desire to get close to them.
Therefore, after analyzing all the above situations, Xia Chen finally thought of a possibility, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
" Charlos, it seems your death wasn't entirely in vain!"
Knowing this, Xia Chen was in a very good mood, but he didn't plan to talk to Hancock right now.
There's only one reason: now is not the time for romance!
For things like this, the atmosphere is very important!
As for things like whether the Navy will find out and then take action against Hancock?
To be honest, Xia Chen wasn't worried at all; his strength was his greatest source of confidence!
Furthermore, the Seven Warlords of the Sea system was originally scheduled to be abolished after two years. Although the storyline has changed significantly, whether it will actually be abolished in the future remains to be seen.
But it doesn't matter! Hancock joined the Shichibukai in the first place to protect Amazon Lily.
And now...
Xia Chen believed that after today, as long as he said he would protect Amazon Lily, no one would dare to go against Kuja!
After thinking for a while, Xia Chen shifted his gaze from Hancock and scanned the remaining people one by one.
The bear has likely lost its self-awareness by now, so it won't attack Xia Chen without orders.
As for Moria, judging from his deliberate avoidance of Xia Chen's gaze, he probably doesn't intend to reveal his strength and is planning to slack off.
According to Hawk-Eyes, Xia Chen will definitely fight him in this war. He believes he won't lose this time, but... not now!
so...
Xia Chen turned his gaze to the last person and asked casually, " Teach, interested in trying your hand at it?"
"Also, there's something I'd like to ask you. Who took the Golden Lion's body?"
"Thief, hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Blackbeard burst into laughter, only stopping after a long while, his eyes fixed on Xia Chen with a sinister glint.
" Demon King Xia Chen, I was careless last time, which allowed you to seize the opportunity and beat me so badly. This time, I'll show you my true strength!"
"All Devil Fruit abilities are useless against me!" Blackbeard said confidently.
"As for the Golden Lion's corpse you mentioned? Hehehehe..."
Blackbeard didn't continue speaking, but burst into laughter. Then his body slowly rose, floating in the air, looking down at Xia Chen.
"Now that things are like this, do you know where the Golden Lion's body is?"
"Got it!" Xia Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Blackbeard who could float in the air without any external force.
"So it seems you had already regained consciousness while I was fighting the Golden Lion!"
"Then I'm curious, after I finished fighting the Golden Lion, I was clearly unconscious and lying on the ground, so why didn't you kill me?"
This was indeed a point that Xia Chen was very curious about. Given Blackbeard's personality, he would definitely do something like eliminating the threat completely.
If he had that ability, he would never let go of any opportunity to kill the enemy!
To everyone's surprise, Blackbeard's face immediately contorted with rage upon hearing this news, and he said with a ferocious expression:
"You think I didn't want to kill you? If it weren't for that faceless man in black robes who stopped me, you would have gone to see your great-grandmother long ago!"
"A man in black robes??" Xia Chen murmured softly, a thoughtful expression on his face.
If what Blackbeard said is true, then it means that Xia Chen was rescued by an unknown man in black robes after he fainted?
"Um..."
Xia Chen fell into deep thought, his mind racing as he tried to guess the identity of the man in black robes.
But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a definite answer. Judging from Blackbeard's description, this person clearly didn't want anyone to know his identity.
But then she saved him at the crucial moment!
This means that this person was very likely already watching him from the very beginning of his fight with Golden Lion. However, his Observation Haki detected nothing...
I don't know if the Golden Lion has noticed him... Wait a minute!
Golden Lion??
A flash of inspiration struck Xia Chen; he felt he had grasped some clues.
For example, why would Golden Lion, who always stayed at home, appear on Jaya Island? And why did he possibly discover the presence of people but not say anything? Furthermore, why would Golden Lion meddle in Blackbeard's business and save him?
All of these factors combined, along with the fact that the man in black robes concealed his identity, and perhaps also possessed formidable strength, make a comprehensive assessment...
A figure instantly appeared in Xia Chen's mind, and then an ugly expression immediately appeared on Xia Chen's face.
If it's him, then many things can be explained...
