As soon as he finished speaking, the Red Hair figure rushed towards Xia Chen. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Xia Chen.
Xia Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
Red Hair ' speed is a bit too fast!
Before Xia Chen could continue to be surprised, the Red Hair drew his Gryphon sword from his waist and swung it at Xia Chen from a distance.
" Divine Departure!"
In an instant, a black and red blade of energy, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, hurtled toward Xia Chen.
As if sensing something, Xia Chen didn't stand still and let them hit him as before. Instead, he threw a punch at the blade energy.
"Bang!"
The instant the fist and the blade energy collided, an incredibly powerful shockwave was released, shattering the surrounding ground layer by layer.
After all the noise subsided, the land around where Xia Chen stood was now in ruins, riddled with ravines!
Xia Chen slowly raised his palm, looked at his fist, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, a large gash was cut into his fist, and the entire fist was cleaved in two.
This made Xia Chen sigh with emotion. As expected of what is considered the strongest single-target attack in the anime, its power is truly undeniable!
Akainu and his crew fought him to the death before, but they couldn't even leave a scratch on him. Now, Red Hair has arrived and injured him like this.
Fortunately, his arm is now made of stone; if it were made of flesh and blood, it might have been a bit more troublesome.
But as he said, his entire body is now made of rock, so for someone who can create rock at will, would a broken fist really be a big deal?
With a thought, Xia Chen's shattered fist was instantly absorbed by countless rocks, and in less than a second, it was restored to its original state.
This only depleted a small portion of his stamina. In his current Stone Monkey Form, the only way to defeat him is to exhaust his stamina.
Otherwise, no matter how shattered his body is, he can recover instantly!
Xia Chen looked calmly at the Red Hair and said, "Very effective, Shanks! No wonder it's a strike worth three billion!"
Because the plot has changed significantly, Xia Chen hasn't encountered the Divine Departure avoids Kid yet, otherwise he could show him how to deal with Divine Departure everything.
He can just use his fists and go for it. I've already told him the method; whether he can do it or not is up to him.
Meanwhile, the Red Hair man standing opposite Xia Chen looked rather grim. He hadn't expected Xia Chen to so easily parry his Divine Departure, and he seemed completely unharmed.
He always felt that being told something was very effective was being sarcastic, but what did "a single strike of three billion" mean?
Before Red Hair could figure it out, Xia Chen's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, causing his pupils to shrink involuntarily.
"This speed, how..."
Before the Red Hair man could finish speaking, Xia Chen threw a punch at him.
Red Hair quickly positioned Gryphon in front of him, then successfully flew backward at an extremely high speed.
To be fair, in terms of pure speed, Xia Chen is indeed inferior to Red Hair, let alone in his Stone Monkey Form.
But the problem is, he has the Flying Nimbus. What does his slow Stone Monkey Form have to do with the speed of the Flying Nimbus?
"Boss!"
The officers on the Red Hair ship shouted in alarm upon seeing this, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Xia Chen.
They had actually seen Xia Chen fighting the Five Elders and others from a distance.
But because it ended so quickly, they only saw figures flash by for a short while before eight giant rock spheres floated into the sky.
They couldn't make a judgment on this situation, whether Xia Chen was too strong or the Five Elders were too weak, after all, the Five Elders and others were quite old.
Moreover, they have almost no record of making a move, making it difficult to judge their strength.
However, it's a bit exaggerated that Xia Chen managed to defeat all eight of them while simultaneously facing three Admiral.
They were very familiar with the strength of these three Admiral!
So, they were already fully prepared before facing Xia Chen, and they tried their best to imagine how powerful Xia Chen was.
But when they actually faced it, they were still utterly horrified, whether it was the previous attacks failing to break through their defenses or their leader being so easily knocked away.
They were very familiar with their leader's strength, and in their view, with Whitebeard's strength declining, their leader had long been the strongest of the Four Emperors.
It was evident from their battle with Kaido at sea that they should have arrived Kaido's interference caused a delay.
However, during their Yamato Kaido, he was always in the upper hand, which is why he was able to break through Kaido's obstruction and arrive here.
They couldn't remember the last time they'd seen their leader fall behind right from the start.
Just as they were still reeling from the shock of Xia Chen's strength, Xia Chen had already arrived in front of Red Hair and punched Red Hair again as he landed.
However, this time Red Hair was prepared in advance, and his fist collided with Xia Chen's as soon as he picked up Gryphon.
Black and red Inazuma surged around the two men's bodies. If you looked closely, you could see that the fist and the knife did not actually touch, but rather formed a void between them.
Shockwaves continued to spread outwards, one after another.
Xia Chen was extremely surprised. He hadn't expected that Red Hair could actually exchange energy with him in this form. After all, when he fought Akainu and the others earlier, no one could withstand his punches.
"Interesting!"
A slight smile appeared on Xia Chen's lips, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
During his previous battle with the Five Elders, none of them could withstand a single blow from him, which is why he decided to transform into the Rock Archon for a quick victory.
This form doesn't utilize its greatest strengths at all; close-quarters combat is what this form excels at!
Now that Red Hair has someone who can withstand his attacks, he can play around a bit more and experience the power of this form!
Thinking this, Xia Chen spread his arms wide, and his fists rained down on the Red Hair like a storm.
