While the pirates on the island were all having a blast.
Above the sky, higher than where Luffy and his crew were.
Xia Chen looked down and a smile appeared on his lips.
This situation was truly unexpected for him.
He hadn't expected that Luffy and his Luffy would stop the meteorite he wanted to force out Bullet ahead of time.
"These guys have improved their strength quite a bit again!"
The meteor he threw this time was not as powerful as the one he gave Akainu and his crew during the Summit War.
The main reason is that he didn't apply any force to the meteorite to accelerate its fall; instead, he let it fall under the pull of gravity.
And it wasn't allowed to fall freely from a particularly high place; it was simply falling from its current height.
After all, his original intention was just to force Bullet out; if he applied more force, things would be different later.
The island might be destroyed in the end.
That's exactly what gave Luffy and his crew time to attack; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to react at all.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen couldn't help but smile, raising his hand again before lowering it once more.
--
"Phew~"
Luffy exhaled and shouted to Usopp beside him, " Usopp, use your wind to lift me up too! I'm about to deactivate Gear Fourth!"
"Good!"
With a wave of his hand, Usopp summoned a gentle breeze that enveloped Luffy and lifted him up.
After disengaging from Gear Fourth, Luffy simply lay down in mid-air, a weak smile on his face. He said, "I'm exhausted."
"That Xia Chen! He even wants to destroy our treasure island, what is he thinking?"
"It's just a meteorite, I easily knocked it away."
(⊙o⊙)...
"You call it easy when you look like a dead dog right now?" Usopp was a little speechless.
"But... where is Xia Chen now?" And Luffy was right about one thing: what is this guy thinking? Why does he want to destroy this island?
Sanji stroked his chin thoughtfully as he spoke.
"Perhaps... he has some other purpose!" Zoro said calmly, then looked at everyone.
"Didn't you notice that the meteorite's speed was off? It looked like it was falling from not far above us!"
"Is this slow, subtle speed giving us, or rather... giving others time to react?"
"Besides, based on what I know of that guy, he wouldn't be so bored as to destroy an island for fun!"
Therefore, he is very likely to...
"Quick! Look!"
Before Zoro could finish speaking, Usopp interrupted him, a look of surprise on his face, pointing ahead.
Upon hearing this, the group all turned their heads away.
A meteorite, now much smaller than before, was seen falling once again towards the island in the Knock Up Stream.
Although this meteorite may only be a few meters in diameter, it radiated a golden luster and traveled at an incredibly high speed.
They landed on the island less than a second after they spotted it.
"Boom!"
A Earth Shaker roar resounded, and an incredibly powerful aftershock swept outwards, pushing the figures of several people quite a distance.
As expected, the small island exploded instantly under the impact, turning into countless fragments that fell onto the island below.
Ah! My treasure!
After Luffy out a strange cry, Luffy rushed downwards at high speed.
Seeing this, the others did not linger and all fell downwards.
As Luffy descended to a certain height, he saw a tall, red-faced man below holding an ancient treasure chest.
This treasure chest is exactly the same as the one they saw on the big screen earlier!
That is, the treasure on that island!
Luffy's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately headed towards that spot.
Meanwhile, Luffy weren't the only ones to notice this; the other pirates on the island also spotted the man and the treasure chest.
So they all moved closer to the red-faced man.
Meanwhile, the red-faced man at the center of attention, Bullet, kept his eyes tightly shut, completely ignoring the pirates who were targeting him.
Then he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light, and at the same time, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Although the attack didn't hit him directly, it still affected him.
At this moment, he felt his blood surging within him, indicating that he had already suffered some injuries.
" Xia Chen, are you being this polite right from the start?"
Bullet knew without a doubt that the attack was most likely carried out by Xia Chen, but he couldn't sense Xia Chen's presence in the surrounding area.
He murmured to himself, "Is it because of Observation Haki?"
After pausing for a moment, Bullet finally turned his gaze to the countless pirates charging towards him.
His eyes narrowed, and a powerful Conqueror's Haki instantly burst forth from his body, sweeping outwards.
Countless pirates lost consciousness instantly after being swept by this Conqueror's Haki, collapsing to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
The other pirates who remained conscious were also filled with shock.
Six months ago, X Drake, one of the Supernovas, looked at Bullet across from him with a solemn expression and said in a low voice:
"What powerful Conqueror's Haki! It's practically like something out of Shura!"
Skulachman Apoo also slowly walked forward from the side.
"Looks like we're in for a tough battle!"
"Perhaps we won't even have a chance to make a move!" A strong, burly man with angel wings on his back slowly stepped forward and said with a smile on his lips.
" Urouge, what do you mean by this?"
Another female voice rang out. A pink-haired woman, holding meat in her left hand and pizza in her right, asked the Mad Monk Urouge while putting food into her mouth.
"Jeally Bonney, are you really that brainless? Don't you understand what this means?"
Mob boss Capone Bege, a cigar dangling from his lips, looked at Bonney with disdain.
"What? You bastard! You want to fight, huh?"
Upon hearing this, Bonney couldn't hold back any longer and clenched her fist, gesturing at Capone Bege.
"Ha! I have absolutely no interest in fighting a little girl like you!" Capone Bege said calmly.
To everyone's surprise, these words ignited Bonney's temper, and without a word, she kicked Capone Bege, shouting at the same time:
"You're going to die!"
"Afraid of you?!" Bege retorted without backing down. With a wave of his hand, countless henchmen emerged from his body, lined up, and fired their guns at Bonney.
"Looks like neither of you is very bright, fighting now!"
At this moment, another man slowly walked up. The man had flowing blond hair, a slender build, and six distinctive vertical lines on his forehead.
Basil Hawkins, captain of the Hawkins Pirates, was also one of the Supernovas six months ago.
At this point, most of the world-renowned Supernovas from the original story have arrived here...
