"Should we deal with the large number of pirates gathered on Moss Island?" Sengoku asked the Five Elders.
"No need! They were all sent by Doflamingo to deal with Xia Chen, why should we bother with them?" Jupiter said irritably.
Just a few days ago, Xia Chen gave them a hard time, and now they don't want to touch anything related to Xia Chen!
The island they were referring to, Moss Island, was the one near Dressrosa where a large number of pirates gathered.
Doflamingo lured these pirates to deal with Xia Chen by offering them a certain amount of SMILE for free! Kaido was among them!
"His original intention was to have all these pirates attack Xia Chen, but Kaido wouldn't agree, so he had no choice but to temporarily settle these pirates on Moss Island!"
"Let Kaido deal with Xia Chen alone. If Kaido fails, all these pirates will swarm Xia Chen!"
"Tch! What a foolish idea!" Saturn said dismissively.
With so many pirates heading in the same direction in the New World, it's impossible for them not to have information.
For them, apart from Xia Chen being a variable that prevents their intelligence agents from getting close, they have intelligence agents everywhere else.
They were fully aware of Doflamingo's purpose and what he was going to do next.
"He's right not to trust Kaido, but... he underestimated Xia Chen too much. He thinks he can overwhelm Xia Chen with sheer numbers? What a ridiculous idea!" Venus said calmly.
Although they had never faced Xia Chen directly, they knew from his performance in the Xia Chen Paramount War and the unparalleled sense of oppression he always brought them that Xia Chen was definitely someone they couldn't afford to mess with.
Even their World Government cowers in front of Xia Chen, yet these pirates have such audacity! Ignorance is bliss!
"Then... should we go and wipe out these pirates, and do Xia Chen a favor while we're at it?" Sengoku asked again.
Upon hearing this, Mercury glared at him and said:
"Our World Government and Navy are going to clear obstacles for Xia Chen, this pirate? Sengoku, what are you thinking?"
"Just ignore everything! Let's pretend we don't know anything about it!"
Xia Chen never took them seriously, and they were already angry inside, but they just didn't dare to say it.
Although they knew that these pirates would only be throwing their lives away if they went after Xia Chen Xia Chen, they were actually happier to cause him some trouble. Why would they possibly want to eliminate these pirates?
"Alright, Sengoku! We just need to wait and see. We already know the final outcome anyway!"
"As for the process, we don't need to care!"
--
"Whoosh!"
A whooshing sound rang out, and a huge figure fell from the sky like a meteor, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Boom!"
The powerful impact created a huge crater in the ground, sending countless pieces of rock flying and dust billowing everywhere.
Above the sky, a figure stood there, gazing calmly down at the scene below.
The Jingu Bang in his hand shone even more brightly in the sunlight!
A moment later, a sound came from the pit, and a huge figure slowly crawled out. The bloodstains at the corner of his mouth indicated that he was not in good condition.
"What's wrong, Kaido? Is that all the strength you've got? Isn't it a bit lacking?"
Xia Chen looked at Kaido climbing out below and asked with a faint smile. At the same time, he began to slowly descend towards the ground.
Kaido slowly raised his head, looking at Xia Chen was slowly falling, his eyes filled with solemnity.
For a period of time, he was completely outmatched by Xia Chen.
Haki, fast, powerful!
None of them can compare to Xia Chen!
He was starting to wonder if Xia Chen was some kind of old monster who looked young but was actually quite old.
Otherwise, how could someone possess such formidable strength at such a young age!
What's even more outrageous is that during the fight just now, he didn't even touch the hem of Xia Chen's clothes, while Xia Chen kept hitting him with his staff.
If it weren't for his thick skin and tough flesh, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on!
" Xia Chen! I admit you're strong, but not strong enough! I still have a chance to win!"
Kaido wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Xia Chen confidently.
"Oh? How did you come to that conclusion?" Xia Chen couldn't help but smile.
During this period, Kaido was relentlessly attacked by him, yet he didn't use any of his other abilities, relying solely on the Three Types of Haki and physical combat skills.
Unfortunately, Kaido's strength is clearly not enough to push him to that point in his current state!
"Looks like... it's about time I went to visit Imu!" Xia Chen pondered, stroking his chin.
But he quickly shook his head, bringing his thoughts back to the present.
After fighting Kaido, he also learned roughly what level Kaido's strength was at.
Armament Haki King Level. The remaining two are only a hair's breadth away from King Level!
Of all the people he has encountered so far, Shanks ' Haki of Haki is still the highest!
This is quite normal, since Shanks doesn't have a Devil Fruit ability and only needs to focus on training in Haki and swordsmanship!
The other Four Emperors all possess abilities, so they will definitely spend a large portion of their time developing their Devil Fruit powers.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
Teacher Kaido is really something. In the original work, when he was teaching Luffy, he knew that Devil Fruit abilities are all external forces, and only Haki can overcome everything!
Why can't you understand this principle?
etc!!
A flash of inspiration struck Xia Chen, and he suddenly realized a possibility.
Could it be that Teacher Kaido... taught Luffy to take the right path because he himself had gone down the wrong one?
"I see!"
Xia Chen clapped his fist and shouted loudly, startling Kaido, who was about to speak.
It seems that Teacher Kaido's reputation as a top-notch teacher is truly well-deserved!
Using himself as a negative example to teach Luffy! That's truly... amazing!!
Regardless of whether Kaido thought this way in the original story, Xia Chen believes that this is the right way to think now!
Suddenly, an idea popped into Xia Chen's mind, and it quickly became unstoppable!
"Why did you suddenly shout?" Kaido voice rang out.
"Nothing! I just figured something out! Okay, enough about me, let's get back to our topic and tell me why you're confident you can beat me!"
"Oh!"
Upon hearing Kaido couldn't help but let a smile creep onto his lips.
For him, it had been a long time since he had encountered someone like Xia Chen who put so much pressure on him.
This reminded him of the time when he wasn't as strong, when powerful enemies put pressure on him, allowing him to grow rapidly!
However, at some point, he could no longer find that feeling, that feeling of being crushed!
And now... he's found it!
Moreover, although Xia Chen's strength could put immense pressure on him, as he said, it wasn't without a chance of winning.
In the past, he has always been the one who had the last laugh in this kind of situation, and this time will be no exception!
"Your attacks are strong, but not strong enough!"
"This... is your weakness!"
"In terms of physique, I don't think you're my match, so I'm sure I'll be the one to win in the end!"
"I can be hit by you many times, but if I hit you just once, can you... handle it?" Kaido laughed confidently, as if he was happy to have guessed Xia Chen's weakness.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen burst into laughter, and the laughter lingered for a long time.
"What are you laughing at?" Kaido asked Xia Chen, puzzled.
Xia Chen slowly stopped smiling, but a slight smile still lingered at the corners of his mouth.
"I don't know what gave you the misconception that I'm physically weaker than you. Did you conclude that you can never hit me?"
"And you think my attacks aren't strong enough, right?"
"And the next one..."
You should really experience this!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chen's figure vanished from his spot and immediately appeared in front of Kaido.
"!!!"
