A dull thud rang out, and Akainu's figure was instantly sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.
Akainu felt like his entire body was about to fall apart; the pain he felt clearly told him just how powerful Xia Chen's palm strike had been.
Everyone else stopped abruptly upon witnessing this scene, staring in Earth Shaker 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... 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 Monkey Form!
The result was, of course, very satisfactory to him. It seems that the claim in the form description that the attack and defense capabilities had been greatly enhanced was not an exaggeration!
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 Geo deity in a game he played in his previous life, which sounded incredibly Haki!
Xia Chen cleared his throat and said to everyone, "My Rex Lapis Form boasts unparalleled defense and attack power. You'd better work hard and not end up like Akainu, just tickling me!"
Upon hearing Xia Chen's words, Akainu, who had just struggled to his feet, instantly turned extremely ugly. The others, on the other hand, looked grave, all pondering how to break through Xia Chen's defenses.
However, they quickly made a decision: to use Armament Haki that could cause Internal Destruction.
Generally speaking, Logia 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 the 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 Spike on the ground shattered into small rock fragments, which then condensed back into countless rock spears in the air.
Xia Chen waved his hand, and countless rock spears rained down on them.
"Get out of the way!" one of the Vice Admiral shouted.
However, his current behavior is just like that of the Warring Sengoku, somewhat clownish.
Because the other Vice Admiral 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 tell you all have 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 fear. They had already struggled to deal with the number of rock spears before, and now there were several times that number? How were they supposed to withstand them all?
Immediately, everyone began to think of a solution, but Xia Chen didn't have that much time to give them time to think.
With a thought, countless rock spears once again hurtled towards them.
In an instant, the sounds of flesh tearing 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 grateful that they hadn't broken their promise to Xia Chen!
Otherwise, they really wouldn't even know how they died. Speaking of which, we should really thank Bondi World for being the first to break the agreement.
Otherwise, they might be the ones breaking the agreement, and then they'd be the ones who die!
Brother World, I will definitely burn lots of paper money for you in the future to thank you for saving my life!
While these pirates were celebrating their good fortune, the marines opposite Xia Chen were in for a rough time.
Most ordinary Vice Admiral would have little chance against Xia Chen's attack, let alone those below the rank of Vice Admiral.
Even if you can block one, ten, or a hundred rock spears, so what?
What about a thousand? What about ten thousand?
In other words, one would need to be at least close to the strength of Admiral Candidate to barely withstand Xia Chen's storm-like attacks, but injury would still be unavoidable.
Only those with the strength of Admiral or higher 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!
It can only be said that the more resilient they are, the "better" the treatment Xia Chen gives them!
He still has a whole bunch of interesting things he hasn't used yet!
As for now... let him experience the power of this body first!
As his thoughts raced, Xia Chen's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing beside Akainu.
Xia Chen stood on the Flying Nimbus 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. His speed was extremely fast, and he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Xia Chen was very satisfied with this scene; the power in this form was indeed much stronger than in his normal form.
He's been quite good to Akainu; the first person he thought of using this power to test it out was Akainu.
But there's nothing that can be done 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; he's familiar with the concept of reciprocity!
