Xia Chen said calmly, a smile still on his face.
"Tell Tesoro to release us! We've all said that this place is full of people oppressed by Tesoro, right?"
As he spoke, Dika turned his gaze to the people around him, but they seemed not to recognize him, turning their heads away one by one when his gaze swept over them.
Hey! What do you guys mean? Why are you all suddenly silent?
"Alright, alright! In that case, I won't take you out. I was originally planning to bring you along!"
Ha! It seems you're not worthy at all!
Dika's face showed an arrogant expression, then he turned to look at Tesoro.
" Tesoro! Do you remember how you've treated me all this time? Kneel down and apologize to me right now, and I'll consider forgiving you!"
You're asking for it!
Upon hearing this, Tesoro's forehead veins bulged, he raised his right hand, countless gold threads wrapped around it, and then he threw a punch at Dika.
"Bang!"
A dull thud was heard, and a bead of sweat broke out on Tesoro's face.
His fist was blocked by a hand, and at the same time, Xia Chen's calm voice came.
" Tesoro, hold on! I'd like to hear what Mr. Dika has to say."
Seeing this scene, Dika, who had just been terrified by Tesoro's fist, instantly stood up straight and hurriedly shouted at Xia Chen:
" Xia Chen, quick! Break Tesoro's legs and make him kneel down and beg me! How dare he lay a hand on me?"
Several seconds passed, but Xia Chen didn't make any move; instead, he continued to stare at him.
Dika was displeased and looked at Xia Chen, saying, "I've begged you like this, and you still won't break his legs?"
"Um?"
"Hahaha..."
Xia Chen couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
He never expected to encounter someone here with incomplete brain development and a completely underdeveloped cerebellum!
However, this is still a bit inferior to the fairies in his previous life.
Xia Chen suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a similar scene in the original work, where a group of children went to buy flowers from Luffy and his crew, and one of the boys said something similar.
"I've begged you like this, and you still won't buy it?"
Are these two people related?
Otherwise, why would everyone have such similar understandings of asking for favors?
Xia Chen snapped his fingers, and purple ice blocks appeared out of thin air, freezing Dika's upper body except for his head.
The sudden increase in weight caught Dika off guard, causing him to fall flat on his face. Just as he was about to say something, he felt as if something was missing from his lower body.
He subconsciously looked down at his lower body and saw several wisps of crimson flames flickering in the air.
His lower body had completely disappeared at some point.
Only then did he feel a sharp pain coming from the hole in his lower body, causing him to cry out involuntarily.
Sweat dripped continuously from his forehead.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he immediately looked up at Xia Chen, his eyes filled with hatred, and said:
It was you! You're the one who did this to me!
"That's right! It's me!" Xia Chen replied calmly. The smile on his face had vanished, replaced by an extremely cold gaze.
"You... don't you know I'm a pirate?"
"How much have you been drinking to talk to a vicious pirate like that?"
In that instant, those around felt a chill sweep across the area, causing them to shiver involuntarily.
"In your next life, don't be so arrogant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ice on Dika's body began to spread towards his head.
In no time, the purple ice sculpture, now only half-body, appeared before everyone's eyes.
Xia Chen gently lifted her foot.
"Sizzle!"
The ice instantly turned into dust, which drifted into the air with the wind.
If the people around hadn't witnessed the whole thing, they would have thought that Dika had never existed in this world.
"Come on, Tesoro! Take me around here!"
After saying that, Xia Chen walked towards his Turtle Rolls-Royce.
Tesoro, watching this scene from behind, couldn't help but swallow hard.
The sight of a person turning into dust right before his eyes was somewhat overwhelming for him.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had come to greet Xia Chen in person; otherwise, if Xia Chen had ever been dissatisfied, his fate might not have been much better.
"Lord Tesoro! Why aren't you going there right now!"
Tanaka walked over to Tesoro and spoke softly, bringing Tesoro back to his senses from his shock.
He immediately jogged over to Xia Chen; right now, his most important task was to serve this powerful Buddha Form well.
--
At this moment, somewhere on the Gran Tesoro.
"Hahaha... we're really lucky, we even run into the Gran Tesoro while on a mission! Perfect timing for us to have some fun!"
A man with three tufts of purple hair on the top and back of his head, a fierce face, and a scar on his right eye looked around and laughed loudly.
" Cracker! Have fun, but be careful, we're here on a mission! You can only stay here for one day at most, then we have to leave immediately!"
Another man, with a scarf covering the corner of his mouth, tall and with short, amaranth-red hair, glanced indifferently at the man beside him.
"Of course I know that, Katakuri- san!"
"I always prioritize the tasks my Mama assigns me! This is just a way to pass the time during a boring task!"
"Speaking of Katakuri, what if, after we find the Straw Hat Pirates and tell Black Leg Sanji about the marriage alliance with our Big Mom Pirates, he disagrees?"
Cracker turned to Katakuri and asked.
"What else can we do? Just go back and tell Mama the truth! You can't possibly force him to go back, can you?" Katakuri glanced at Cracker.
Cracker quickly waved his hand and said:
"How is this possible! I want to live a little longer!"
"I've seen the video of Xia Chen with 100,000 people, how could I still be so stubborn?"
Just kidding, does he, Cracker, look like a brute?
Katakuri nodded upon hearing this and continued:
"Our task this time is simply to deliver the message; how things develop afterward is not our concern!"
"Alright! I heard there are some really delicious donuts here. You guys wander around here for a bit, I'm going to go find some donuts!"
After saying that, Katakuri took out a map of the Gran Tesoro from his pocket, identified the direction, and then walked towards a certain place.
Cracker couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Katakuri's retreating figure.
"Luckily, there are delicious donuts on the Gran Tesoro, otherwise Katakuri might not have agreed to come aboard and play!"
"Since Katakuri- san is no longer by my side, then I also want to..."
Suddenly, as Cracker scanned his surroundings, he saw something and stopped mid-sentence.
Then, an excited expression immediately appeared on his face, and he shouted towards Katakuri, who hadn't gone far:
"Brother! Come back quickly! The mission target has appeared!!"
