On the Gran Tesoro.
At this moment, Xia Chen was wearing sunglasses and driving his Turtle Rolls down the street, a slight smile playing on his lips.
You have to understand that in his previous life, he never had the chance to drive such a luxury car around town.
Although I've tried everything luxurious since arriving in the world of One Piece, driving this car now feels completely different.
After all, this was something he had always wanted to try in his previous life but never had the chance to!
With that in mind, Xia Chen stepped on the gas again, and the car shot forward like an arrow.
Meanwhile, on the other Luffy, Turtle Rolls-Royce that was driven much more smoothly than Xia Chen's.
Baccarat introduced the car to everyone as she drove.
"Look ahead, what you all see is the commercial area!"
Everyone looked ahead and saw all sorts of restaurants and casinos.
For a moment, they all involuntarily opened their mouths slightly.
"It feels like I've entered a dreamland!" Usopp exclaimed.
"No, no, no! This is just a regular area!" Baccarat said with a smile.
She was much more relaxed than when Xia Chen was around. She now felt that it was actually a good thing that Xia Chen had driven away in his car earlier.
Otherwise, she would feel very uncomfortable if Xia Chen were there. After all, she had also seen the video of Xia Chen instantly killing 100,000 people.
It would be strange if she wasn't flustered being with such a killer!
As for the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates behind her, although they are quite strong, they are much less bloodthirsty, and according to intelligence, most of them are actually quite easy to get along with.
So Baccarat wasn't worried about what they would do to her, especially since she was acting as their tour guide!
It doesn't make sense that she'd be beaten up after being all smiles and friendly.
Baccarat continued, "This ship is about 10 kilometers long, so this area is just the standard section; the closer to the center, the more luxurious it becomes!"
10 kilometers?
Everyone gasped in surprise.
"Yes! The commercial district not only has hotels and shopping malls, but also swimming pools, amusement parks, aquariums, and theaters! It even has a golf course—everything you could want!"
"..."
Baccarat continued her introduction to the group, punctuated by occasional gasps of amazement from the crowd.
--
Inside an incredibly luxurious room on the Gran Tesoro.
A man with gray-green hair combed back, dressed in pink clothes and trousers, sat on a chair made entirely of gold, his face full of solemnity.
"What's wrong with my Gran Tesoro today? Why did everyone have to come today?"
" The Celestial Dragons, Marine Admiral, and the Four Emperors' pirate crews are already enough of a headache for me, but I didn't expect the Straw Hat Pirates to show up now!"
" Xia Chen the Sovereign is an incredibly dangerous person. What if he gets upset and just blows up my Gran Tesoro?"
At this moment, Tesoro had no intention of dealing with the Straw Hat Pirates as he did in the original story. Now, all he wanted was to serve Xia Chen well and make the most of his time here.
After all, this guy is a legendary figure who can slaughter 100,000 people without a second thought!
Moreover, according to what he knew, the World Government was always shrinking back in front of this person.
Tesoro was well aware of his own abilities. He could handle those who weren't very strong, but dealing with top-tier powerhouses was simply impossible!
Therefore, he only wanted to befriend Xia Chen and had no intention of opposing him at all!
Doflamingo's fate is still fresh in his mind; he certainly doesn't want to run into him on the way down and have him say something like, "..."
"Hey! What a coincidence! I'm coming down too!"
Thinking of this, Tesoro couldn't help but shudder, then a determined look appeared in his eyes. He immediately stood up and shouted:
" Tanaka!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large-headed man walked straight out of the door, bowed to Tesoro, and said, "Lord Tesoro, you wanted to see me?"
"Go! Get ready! Bring out the most extravagant welcoming ceremony you can imagine, and come with me to greet them..."
"Your Majesty!"
--
Somewhere on the Gran Tesoro, Xia Chen saw a familiar figure ahead and greeted him.
"Hey! Admiral Ryokugyu! What a coincidence, running into you here. It's been quite a while since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"
Upon hearing Xia Chen's words, a green-haired man in front of him shuddered and immediately ran over, rubbing his hands together and saying with a smile:
"Your Majesty, look at you, you don't need to be called Admiral Ryokugyu, just call me Little Maki! Hehe!"
The man was none other than Admiral Ryokugyu of the Marine Headquarters, and his real name was Aramaki.
At this moment, the Marines brought by Ryokugyu saw their Admiral acting like a lackey and couldn't help but rub their eyes, staring at Ryokugyu in disbelief.
Is this still the same Admiral who basically never lets any pirates escape?
Is he still the same Admiral who immediately declared, "Evil pirates, I will arrest you in the name of justice?"
I have this feeling like I'm possessed by some kind of demon or monster.
Ryokugyu, however, seemed oblivious to the stares of those around him, showing absolutely no sense of shame.
What a joke! Even his superior, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, would speak with trepidation when he met this man in front of him.
If the Five Elders had spoken even a little louder, they might have replaced them!
How dare a mere junior Admiral put on airs in front of this man?
This is like an old man eating poison!
(⊙o⊙)...
Xia Chen was stunned to see the Ryokugyu so well-behaved.
That kid has a bright future ahead of him!
"Hey, Little Maki! What are you doing here?" Xia Chen asked casually.
"That's right! A few Celestial Dragons have come here. I didn't need to come here specifically, but then I heard that Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, are also here!"
"So I came over for their safety!"
" The Big Mom Pirates?" Xia Chen's face showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this.
"Who from Big Mom Pirates is here?" Xia Chen asked, looking at Ryokugyu.
"Two of the Sweet Commanders have arrived, including Katakuri and Cracker! And they brought some other people with them!"
Xia Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Katakuri actually came here. Interesting!
It looks like something interesting is going to happen this time!
Xia Chen couldn't help but smile, then looked at Ryokugyu and said in a light voice:
You said you came to protect the Celestial Dragons?
Yes! Is there a problem?
"No problem!" Xia Chen chuckled, then his Observation Haki instantly covered the entire island, and he found the pigs in no time. Then he gently waved his right hand.
Suddenly, several floating flames appeared beside these pigs.
The Celestial Dragons was startled by the sudden appearance of the flames and almost fell to the ground.
The next second, the leading Celestial Dragons's face turned furious, and he roared, "Whose prank is this? How dare they fool us, the great Celestial Dragons? They're asking for death..."
Before they could finish speaking, the flames rushed towards them, and in an instant, their bodies turned to ashes, as if they had never existed in this world.
Those around were stunned for a moment upon seeing this, then their faces showed expressions of horror as they cried out in terror, " Celestial Dragons... is dead!!"
After doing all this, Xia Chen smiled at Ryokugyu.
"Alright, the person you were supposed to protect is dead. There's no need to continue protecting them!"
Ryokugyu:???
