Kizaru now understands why " Xia Chen " can act so arrogantly; it's all thanks to your teaching, senior!
Even if you were the real Straw Hat Luffy, let alone an imposter, you still have no right to talk to me like that!
In Kizaru's view, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates might indeed be fairly strong, but to expect a Marine Admiral like him to be wary of them? That was impossible!
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Xia Chen's existence, the current Straw Hat Pirates wouldn't even be considered a threat in his eyes.
So when one imposter and two imposters spoke to him like that, he didn't get angry anymore.
These people are all brainless idiots who are about to die; there's no need to get angry with them!
As for why he died? Isn't it normal for him to accidentally kill one or two pirates while on a mission? After all, these pirates weren't exactly "simple" characters!
However, having finally managed to get out and have some fun, Kizaru wasn't ready to deal with these people so quickly, so he deliberately feigned confusion, echoing Luffy's words:
"Wait a minute! Straw Hat Luffy, didn't we just meet three months ago?"
"And what have you been eating lately? How did you get so fat all of a sudden? I remember you were quite thin before!"
"!!!"
Upon hearing Kizaru's words, Luffy panicked instantly, cold sweat beading on his forehead. His mind raced, wondering how he should respond.
"Cough cough..."
"Haha... I remember now, we did meet three months ago. Oh dear, so much has happened in this time, I completely forgot!"
"As for why I've gained so much weight in the last three months, it's obviously because I've been eating so well lately!"
"As you know, our pirate crew is loaded, and our living conditions are definitely top-notch! So it's understandable that we've gained a little weight, right?"
"Oh~" Kizaru drawled, then said, "That certainly makes sense!"
"However... I have another question for Luffy!"
" Admiral Kizaru, just ask me any questions you have. I'll answer them to the best of my ability!"
" Luffy!" he shouted, patting his chest, while secretly letting out a sigh of relief. His gaze towards Kizaru even held a hint of disdain.
Is this all there is to Marine Admiral? He didn't even realize he was an imposter. Looks like this Admiral Kizaru isn't all that great after all!
Do you know... a man named Dimar Black?
"!!!"
Luffy's heart, which had just calmed down a little, started pounding violently again. Sweat poured down his forehead, and all thoughts vanished from his mind, leaving only boundless fear.
After a long pause, he stammered, "I... I don't know this person! Who... is this person?!"
"Really? Here! Let me show you his bounty poster!"
With that, Kizaru pulled a wanted poster from his pocket and handed it to " Luffy," saying, "Look, this is the guy!"
"Hey, I just realized you look exactly like him! Are you his twin brother?"
The person depicted on the wanted poster looked remarkably similar to " Luffy," if not completely unlike him.
"No... no, how could that be? I don't know him at all, and I have no idea why we look so alike!"
"Are you still going to pretend now, Dimar Black?" Kizaru said calmly, looking at him as if he were a dead man. He was done playing the game.
No, I don't...
"Pfft!"
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.
"Cough cough..." Dimar Black coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked with all his might at his chest, where a lightsaber was stuck. He could feel the lightsaber piercing his heart.
The next moment, Dimar Brack's eyes began to glaze over, and he collapsed to the ground.
This scene completely terrified the other imposters, who instantly ran away, leaving only Xia Chen's imposter sitting in the chair with his eyes closed, looking aloof.
It wasn't that he didn't want to run, but that he simply had no idea what was happening.
From the moment he closed his eyes, he resolved that no matter how much commotion there was, he would appear strong and unmoved by anything.
This was his only chance to survive!
Of course, that's just his opinion!
"Pfft!" The familiar sound came again. Kizaru casually slashed him with his sword, sending him to meet his great-grandmother.
He's just a kind person, no need to thank him!
So what's next...?
Kizaru's gaze swept across the battlefield; none of these pirates would escape today!
Thinking this, Kizaru also rushed into the battlefield. Even without Kizaru, these pirates couldn't withstand the Pacifista ' attack, let alone now that Kizaru had joined the battle.
In no time at all, under Kizaru's overwhelming power, over 90% of the pirates were lying unconscious on the ground.
As the number of people decreased, Kizaru also noticed something.
Not far from him, Sentomaru and the three Pacifista were besieging a man wielding three swords!
Sentomaru swung his axe down at the person in front of him, but the man was no pushover either, and met him with a sword of his own.
The moment the axe and knife collided, a large number of sparks were generated.
" Roronoa! I didn't expect to see you here! I was originally planning to catch the imposter, but I ended up catching the real deal!"
"Do you think I'm lucky or unlucky? Tell me now! Why are you here? Does this mean your pirate crew is here too?!"
Sentomaru shouted as he attacked Zoro.
"I feel like I'm having pretty bad luck!" Zoro said casually.
He was genuinely speechless. He had only come to check out Luffy and Xia Chen out of curiosity, but he never expected to end up getting entangled with the Marines.
When he arrived and saw those abstract figures, he already knew what had happened, especially when he saw the green-haired man who was more than three times his size; he almost couldn't resist drawing his sword.
Then he quietly watched as the pirates tried to pull some tricks, but unexpectedly, the Marines arrived.
What was even more unexpected was that after arriving, they were attacked immediately without even having a chance to rest, leaving him unable to leave and leading to the current situation.
Even if he couldn't leave now, he wasn't worried at all. First of all, even if those few lumps of iron and this fat guy were combined, they wouldn't be a match for him. Only Kizaru posed a real threat to him.
Secondly, so what if Kizaru attacks him? You can call for help, but I can't?
Based on Zoro's understanding of Xia Chen, what's happening here has likely caught his attention, and he might even be watching them from somewhere right now.
Xia Chen: You really understand me!
