Just then, an overwhelming Conqueror's Haki swept towards them.
The group of people stood up instantly.
The glass on the wall was shattering under the impact of the Conqueror's Haki, but no one cared. Instead, they all looked in the direction from which the Conqueror's Haki was coming.
His eyes were filled with extreme solemnity.
"That Conqueror's Haki? Who is it?!"
Shiki's cigar had fallen to the ground, and as he felt the Conqueror's Haki relentlessly assaulting him, a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Why does he possess such powerful Conqueror's Haki?
Newgate couldn't help but speak up as well.
This Conqueror's Haki was absolutely the Conqueror's Haki he had ever seen, bar none!
Even Rocks beside him couldn't compare.
Rocks' eyes flickered as he sensed this Conqueror's Haki. In his memory, there had never been a Conqueror's Haki who had reached such a level of power!
After pondering for a moment, Rocks walked straight outside, saying as he did so:
"Let's go! Let's go meet this guy who's been unleashing his Conqueror's Haki on our turf!"
--
Meanwhile, shortly after Xia Chen unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, he saw several black dots approaching him at an extremely fast speed in the distance.
A slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Are you here?"
In front of Xia Chen, a few scattered pirates were staring at him with terrified eyes, their foreheads covered in sweat!
"Who... who are you?"
A pirate spoke tremblingly.
His strength is quite considerable even within the Rocks Pirates; he's a captain-level figure!
Below him are the regular crew members and trainee crew members; above him are the officers and the captain.
Therefore, even within the Rocks Pirates teeming with powerful individuals, he was considered a notable figure.
But he never expected that the man in front of him would be so overwhelmed by the mere release of his Conqueror's Haki that he almost lost consciousness.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen slowly turned his head to look at him. The moment his eyes met Xia Chen's, his face turned pale instantly, and he collapsed to the ground.
"!!!"
This scene startled the remaining pirates, who all looked at Xia Chen with great fear.
That's so dazzling it's almost overwhelming!
Xia Chen glanced at the pirate and then ignored everything else, showing no interest in the pirates' thoughts. Instead, he turned his gaze back to the direction he had just been looking at.
In just a short while, the black dots grew larger and larger, eventually reaching a short distance in front of him.
I stopped about several tens of meters away from him.
The two just stared at each other.
The man at the head was none other than Rocks, whom Xia Chen knew well.
Of course! It's just that the appearance is familiar!
This Rocks appeared younger than the Rocks of his original timeline, and his arrogance was even more pronounced.
Xia Chen then turned his gaze to the others.
A younger version of Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Big Mom!
These were all people Xia Chen knew.
To be fair, this Big Mom was quite beautiful when she was young!
However... he wasn't interested at all!
Then Xia Chen looked at the others, one of whom was not very old, but had a full head of white hair, two knives at his waist, and was drinking from a bottle.
Um!
Xia Chen vaguely remembered this guy; he was in Moria's zombies!
One of the executives of the Rocks Pirates, later known as Captain John!
Xia Chen didn't recognize the other two tall men, but based on his knowledge of the Rocks members...
These two guys are undoubtedly the other two cadres, Ochoku and Silver Axe!
As Xia Chen sized up the Whitebeard, they were also sizing Xia Chen up.
He looked at Xia Chen with utter surprise in his eyes.
The reason for this is simply that Xia Chen is far too young, so young that they can hardly believe it!
According to their expectations, someone with this level of Conqueror's Haki must be a person with rich experience, and most likely a majestic middle-aged man.
How can he be so young? That's impossible!
After looking around, Xia Chen's gaze returned to Rocks.
A smile crept across his lips, and instead of concealing his Conqueror's Haki, he charged towards Rocks with all his might.
Feeling the sudden increase in pressure on his body, Rocks's eyes flickered slightly.
The next second, an extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body, creating a confrontation with Xia Chen's Conqueror's Haki.
Powerful aftershocks, accompanied by black and red Inazuma, spread outwards in all directions.
Those houses that hadn't collapsed under Xia Chen's Conqueror's Haki attack could no longer hold on; cracks appeared on them, and they all turned into stones and fell to the ground.
The ground even developed some cracks as a result.
Xia Chen, however, did not show any surprise in the way Rocks's Conqueror's Haki gaze; on the contrary, he seemed to have expected it.
That's right!
Rocks ' Conqueror's Haki reached the King Level, although it wasn't quite as good as his, but not far off.
After clashing for a while, the two seemed to sense each other and simultaneously withdrew their Conqueror's Haki.
The difference was that Xia Chen looked completely calm, while Rocks had a solemn expression.
This was the first time he had ever met someone with stronger Conqueror's Haki than him, especially someone so young.
After a moment of silence, Rocks stared intently at Xia Chen and asked:
Who are you? What do you want to do at the Paradise?
"Nothing much! I just wanted to see the famous Rocks Pirates, and then... join your crew!"
"Um?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Xia Chen's words.
Charlotte Linlin asked curiously, "You don't seem like someone who wants to join our pirate crew. Otherwise, why would you unleash Conqueror's Haki right away? It's more like you're trying to intimidate us!"
Upon hearing this, Rocks's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything. Linlin's words were exactly what he wanted to say.
Then she turned her gaze back to Xia Chen, waiting for his answer.
Xia Chen smiled and said, "Because I don't want to be subordinate to anyone! Simply put, although I will join your pirate crew, I will not be restricted by anyone!"
"Including you, Rocks!"
"In other words, my status in the pirate crew needs to be at least equal to yours."
"To achieve such a position, one naturally needs immense strength, so I'll first unleash my Conqueror's Haki to greet you!"
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Xia Chen, still smiling, asked calmly.
"Hey! Kid! Aren't you being a little too arrogant?"
"You're dreaming. You think you can bypass us officers and take the captain's position right away?"
"In that case, let me test your skills!"
"I'd like to see if you're just as strong in other areas besides Conqueror's Haki."
Shiki taunted Xia Chen Xia Chen, then shot out and sped towards him.
What the hell? Some random young man from who-knows-where thinks he can bully him? Are you kidding me!
He refused to believe it. Xia Chen was so young. Although he didn't know why Xia Chen possessed such a powerful Conqueror's Haki, he couldn't possibly be that strong in other aspects.
Even if someone started training from the womb, it's impossible for them to be good at everything at this age, right?
Xia Chen, watching Shiki rushing towards him, couldn't help but smile slightly and said calmly:
"You're still the same as ever, Golden Lion!"
Still so impulsive!
Then he slowly raised his hand, and a crimson flame appeared at his fingertips...
