"Brother, your eyes... um... is there something wrong with them?"
"That's right, my name is Yixiao, and I am blind!" the newcomer replied to the Momonga calmly, without any attempt to conceal anything.
He had short black hair, a mustache, closed eyes, a tall stature, and wore a light purple kimono with a dark purple sash.
"But I can still 'see' you! So blindness is not a problem for me!"
"Hmm? You can see us?"
The Momonga was taken aback for a moment, but then it immediately realized something, and its gaze towards Yixiao changed instantly.
If what Issho said is true, then he must have mastered Observation Haki, and at a fairly high level.
In that case, joining the Navy at this age wouldn't be a problem; what if he's a strong individual?
For their current recruitment plan, the most important thing is strength, that is, immediate combat capability.
While nurturing the next generation is important, what they need even more now are strong leaders who can command respect!
After thinking for a moment, the Momonga smiled and said, "Then come over and make a simple record, and then go to the Doriki testing machine to test yourself!"
In no time, Yixiao finished making the record and then went to the Doriki testing machine.
Throughout this entire process, without any guidance from anyone, he accurately located the Doriki testing machine despite being blind.
This action convinced the Momonga that the person before it truly possessed considerable Observation Haki, and it couldn't help but feel excited.
For him, he definitely hoped that Yixiao would become as strong as possible, so that their navy could have another powerful figure to oversee things.
With a smile, he "looked" at the Doriki testing machine in front of him and slowly pulled out the Cane Sword from his hand.
He has no intention of holding back!
During this time, he also learned about what was happening to the Navy and the World Government, and witnessed many scenes of pirates committing atrocities.
Although he would defeat the pirates every time he encountered such a situation, it was ultimately only a temporary solution.
He can help people who have been bullied by pirates once or twice, but can he help them a hundred times or a thousand times?
An individual's strength is ultimately limited, and he felt powerless in this situation. In the end, he could only help when he encountered such a situation, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't.
Just then, he heard the news of the Navy's World Military Draft, and an idea immediately popped into his mind.
Yes, why didn't he think of that before?
An individual's strength is indeed limited, but what about an organization? The world's largest organization?
Leaving aside the World Government, which operates behind the scenes, the Navy is the most powerful organization in the world on the surface.
It is stronger than any Yonko-level pirate crew. Although Xia Chen killed many of its members this time, it is still the strongest.
After all, Xia Chen only killed one Akainu among the high-level combatants; he didn't kill any of the Vice Admiral. Most of the marines who died were killed by the aftershocks of his attacks.
Therefore, the impact on the top-tier combat power of the navy was not significant; it was the mid-to-low-tier combat power that suffered a considerable number of casualties.
Of course, to say that the Navy is the strongest, we have to exclude Xia Chen, whose combat power is practically broken.
Otherwise, given Xia Chen's current strength, even if all the Marines attacked together, they wouldn't be enough to defeat him with one hand!
Therefore, for Yixiao, what he needs to do now is to reveal his strength without reservation.
Because only with greater strength can one have a greater say, thus enabling them to accomplish what they desire!
Thinking of this, Yixiao suddenly exerted force in his hand holding the Cane Sword, and a circle of purplish-black ripples appeared on Yixiao's Cane Sword.
Instantly, everyone around felt their hearts grow heavier for no apparent reason, still unaware of what had happened.
Only the Momonga stared at Yixiao's Cane Sword, a look of shock flashing in its eyes.
"This is... Devil Fruit?"
Even though he wasn't the target of the attack, he still felt the pressure.
This shows that this Devil Fruit is no ordinary fruit, and this person... is even more extraordinary!
This time, the Momonga was certain that the man in front of it was definitely a strong person, at least stronger than itself!
Before everyone could wait long, Yixiao swung his Cane Sword forward.
"Boom!"
A tremendous roar resounded, and the Doriki testing machine in front of Yixiao was instantly blasted in two, the pieces flying out.
He smiled nonchalantly, closed the Cane Sword in his hand, and turned to walk towards the crowd.
At this moment, everyone around stared in disbelief at this scene, their eyes filled with utter shock as they looked at Yixiao.
Those in the navy who knew the limits of this Doriki testing machine were especially horrified.
Although this machine can only withstand a maximum of 10,000 units of Doriki Value, achieving an effect like Yi Xiao's requires far more than just 10,000 units of Doriki Value.
The Momonga looked at the broken Doriki testing machine, then at the smiling figure walking towards it, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
His knowledge far surpassed that of his naval subordinates; they only knew that Yi Xiao was awesome, but they had no accurate concept of just how awesome he was.
But the Momonga could roughly judge Issho's strength from this attack. He narrowed his eyes, his face filled with shock, and said, word by word:
" Admiral strength!!!"
--
Calm Belt, Amazon Lily.
A man was strolling leisurely through the forest, occasionally glancing around at his surroundings.
This person was Xia Chen, who had just returned from the Eternal Night Sea, and his purpose in coming to Amazon Lily was...
There should be no one who doesn't know this!
Although Amazon Lily wasn't far from where Luffy and his crew trained, Xia Chen had no intention of going to find them.
If they're going to cultivate, they should cultivate properly. Let's wait six months before they meet again!
As for him, after being so busy for so long, he definitely needs to relax!
Xia Chen did not conceal his whereabouts, so he quickly sensed many auras rushing towards him from afar.
"Are you here?"
Xia Chen smiled faintly, but he didn't stop walking and continued to stroll slowly forward.
After some time, a large group of women who liked to save on fabric and dressed very scantily emerged from the forest and surrounded Xia Chen without saying a word.
"Stop right there! Who are you!"
"You're not from here. Are you some kind of intruder?"
One of the blonde women glared at Xia Chen and spoke fiercely, while the other black-haired woman next to her stared at Xia Chen's face, slightly stunned.
She felt that Xia Chen's face was familiar, but she couldn't quite place it.
Xia Chen looked at the group and said calmly, "My name is Xia Chen. I'm not your enemy. I'm here to find Hancock!"
"How dare you! I don't care if you're Xia Chen or Dong Chen, how dare you address our Empress by her given name? Do you want to die?!"
The blonde woman who had questioned Xia Chen earlier immediately launched into a tirade against him. After she finished, she tried to say something more, but the black-haired woman beside her stopped her.
"Shut up!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xia Chen and asked in an extremely respectful tone:
"Are you Lord Xia Chen?"
