As Xia Chen and his group continued their advance into Punk Hazard, somewhere on the island...
A figure stared at the image transmitted by the Visual Den Den Mushi and couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright, her pretty face filled with horror and fear.
Did he just see me?
"He definitely saw me! Why would he be here? What if he discovers the secret hidden here?"
Monet muttered several sentences to himself, his heart pounding.
She had just seen in the Visual Den Den Mushi how Xia Chen easily killed the dragon on the island with a wave of his hand, and she also saw Xia Chen's last glance in the direction of the Den Den Mushi.
The moment Monet met Xia Chen's eyes, even through the screen, Monet felt an immense sense of fear wash over her.
From Xia Chen's eyes, she could tell that he had definitely discovered the existence of the Den Xia Chen Den Den Mushi! He also knew that someone was spying on him!
It took Monet a while to calm his wildly beating heart, but his face was still incredibly pale.
Xia Chen's appearance here was completely unexpected for her, and she had no idea what to do now.
Shall we go fight Xia Chen?
Don't be ridiculous! That's someone even her young master, Doflamingo, is extremely wary of. Besides, she witnessed how Xia Chen slaughtered everyone during the Paramount War!
Fighting an enemy like that? A hundred of them wouldn't be enough to defeat someone with a single finger!
With that in mind, Monet immediately took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed the number.
This situation is now beyond her control; she must report it to the young master immediately!

On the Straw Hat Pirates's side.
The group walked ahead, with Xia Chen at the very back, a diamond-shaped crystal sparkling like a diamond in his palm.
[ Awakening Stone): Its current use is unknown, but collecting seven Awakening Stone may lead to unexpected events...]
This is what Xia Chen got after checking in at Punk Hazard. He hadn't taken it out to see what it was because he was talking to Luffy and the Luffy, and he had waited until now.
Looking at this thing, Xia Chen was speechless.
He had originally thought he would get other pieces of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven Set this time, but instead he got a stone instead.
And it's a stone that's currently completely useless!
Collect all seven? Is this supposed to be Dragon Balls? Are we playing a collecting game?
However, Xia Chen was just complaining; what he got from checking in was determined by the system, not by him!
Xia Chen tossed the so-called Awakening Stone into his System Space. He wanted to see what incredible thing would happen once he collected seven! It was so mysterious!
" Momonosuke, where are you? Momonosuke!"
Suddenly, a shout came from ahead, drawing everyone's attention in that direction.
A man wearing a light kimono with black and white stripes on the left and orange on the right, with black hair in a topknot and a goatee, was rushing towards them, shouting again:
" Momonosuke, where are you?"
However, when he saw Luffy and the others, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Are they here to block our way again?"
He then instantly drew a knife from his waist and shouted, "You bunch of bastards, don't stop me from finding my son!"
" Foxfire Style!"
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out as the man's knife was easily blocked by another black blade, causing a look of shock to appear on his face.
In an instant, he realized that the man blocking his attack was no ordinary person, and immediately pulled away to create some distance.
Looking at everyone, his expression gradually became extremely solemn, and he said, "It seems this is going to be a fierce battle!"
"But for my son, no matter how powerful the enemy, I will never back down!"
Xia Chen looked at the roaring man in front of him with a hint of joy in his eyes. It seemed that his guess was correct, because his changes to the world had caused things to deviate from their original course.
That's right, the person in front of you is Kin'emon, one of the Nine Red Scabbards, and a subordinate of Kozuki Oden!
Since he's already here, and considering what he said about looking for his son, then Momonosuke must also be on this island.
Hehehe!
Thinking of this, Xia Chen couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh, which sent a chill down Chopper's spine.
" Xia Chen, why are you suddenly smiling so sinisterly? You scared the reindeer to death!"
"Nothing, I just thought of something fun!"
"What fun thing?" Upon hearing this, Chopper's eyes immediately lit up with stars.
Roasted venison!
(⊙o⊙)...
(#°Д°)!
Upon hearing Chopper was initially stunned, then his eyes widened immediately. He leaped onto Xia Chen's head, grabbed Xia Chen's hair, and shouted:
"You bastard Xia Chen, you actually want to eat venison?! Die!!"
"Hahaha..."
While Xia Chen was playfully fighting with Chopper, Zoro, who was standing in front blocking Kin'emon's attack, narrowed his eyes and looked at Kin'emon opposite him, asking:
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"
"Don't you know why I attacked you? What are you pretending for? Weren't you all in cahoots with those who tried to stop me before?"
"What do you mean, 'stopping you'? We just arrived on this island too, okay?" Sanji said speechlessly.
"Hmph! You think I'd believe a lie you make up? I'm not that easily fooled!"
Kin'emon shouted loudly, his eyes filled with even more vigilance as he looked at the crowd. They wanted to fool him, " Foxfire " Kin'emon? Dream on! He wasn't someone who was so easily fooled!
Seeing Kin'emon's "I'm so smart, you can't fool me" expression, Sanji couldn't help but bulge a few veins and looked at Zoro, saying:
" Moss Head, go and chop him down!"
"No problem!" Zoro smiled, but then immediately realized something and turned to Sanji, yelling at him, "If you say ' Moss Head' again, I'll chop you up first!!"
"Ha! I knew it! You guys were in cahoots with that group. You put on an act for a while and then dropped it. A bunch of hypocrites!"
With that, Kin'emon drew another sword from his waist, his eyes fixed on Zoro. The next moment, he shot out and rushed towards Zoro.
Seeing Kin'emon's stance, Zoro also showed a hint of excitement and charged towards Kin'emon as well.
"Clang!!!"
