"Um?"
"Hahaha..."
Brown Turtle and Purple Foot were stunned for a moment when they heard Xia Chen's words, and then they burst into laughter.
"Kid, you don't really think you're that strong just because you sent the Black Crocodile flying that far, do you?"
"If three of us, Admiral, were to deal with you at the same time, do you think you'd have a chance of surviving?"
"To tell you the truth! Black Crocodile is a user of the Ancient Zoan -Zoan type Devil Fruit, specifically the Devil Fruit in its Crocodile Mode!"
"That punch you just threw wasn't even enough to cause him a minor injury!"
The Brown Turtle said dismissively.
As if in response to the Brown Turtle's words, a figure was rapidly approaching from where the Black Crocodile had been sent flying, using Geppo technique.
Sensing the approaching presence behind him, the Brown Turtle's smile widened.
But Xia Chen's next words froze his smile on his face.
"Don't laugh so happily, take a look at Admiral Black Crocodile behind you!"
Upon hearing this, both Brown Turtle and Purple Foot felt a bad premonition and quickly turned to look.
The moment they saw the figure clearly, their faces showed utter horror.
Black Crocodile had no visible injuries, but a pool of blood, still wet, was clearly visible on his chest.
That was spat out of the Black Crocodile's mouth.
But that wasn't the most important thing. What surprised them the most was that the lower half of the Black Crocodile's face was now completely turned to one side.
That is, the entire chin has shifted to one side a certain distance and is drooping limply.
It had completely detached from the head, with only a small piece of skin holding the chin together to prevent it from falling off.
"Pfft!"
Just then, the Black Crocodile coughed up another mouthful of blood.
The exaggerated movements made the already precarious chin sway even more precariously.
" Black Crocodile! What happened?! How could that punch have left you like this?! Your physical defense is the strongest among the three of us!"
"&￥%%...￥#!"
The Black Crocodile made a series of gurgling sounds, but no one could understand what it was saying.
Sensing his own condition, Black Crocodile immediately turned his gaze to Xia Chen, his eyes filled with boundless hatred.
He had actually lost all feeling in the lower half of his face and couldn't feel his tongue, but he had still clung to a sliver of hope.
Now, the illusions have been shattered!
At this moment, Black Crocodile's hatred for Xia Chen reached its peak.
Even if they manage to kill Xia Chen today, they don't know if his injuries will heal. If they don't, then people will have another reason to laugh at him.
This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate!
Having grown up amidst ridicule, he is exceptionally sensitive to these things!
Thinking of this, the Black Crocodile's pupils slowly turned blood red, and an idea appeared in his mind.
"He'll kill anyone who dares to laugh at him! He'll kill until no one dares to laugh at him anymore!"
Then, with a ruthless heart, Black Crocodile placed his hand on his drooping chin and ripped it off completely.
The inside, dripping with blood and flesh, was exposed.
"!!!"
The exposed flesh and blood-red pupils made the surrounding sailors tremble involuntarily, a chill running down their spines.
The Brown Turtle and the Purple Foot turtle were deeply shocked by the Black Crocodile's demonic appearance and were speechless for a moment.
However, Black Crocodile knew exactly what he was about to do.
His gaze never left Xia Chen; he was determined to tear the culprit who had caused him to become like this to pieces!
The next moment, scales like those of a crocodile began to sprout from the Black Crocodile's back, and its entire body shape underwent a tremendous change.
Before long, the Ancient Zoan, Deinosuchus, appeared before everyone in its humanoid form. The missing chin and the dripping flesh made this form look even more ferocious and terrifying.
Without hesitation, Black Crocodile charged towards Xia Chen. He had only one thought in his mind!
"Tear this human apart!"
If it were anyone else facing Black Crocodile charging at them like that, they would definitely be terrified, but Xia Chen wore a mocking expression.
"Oh! It can even turn red-eyed?"
"Sure! Once you activate Berserk mode, you're invincible, right?"
"In that case, please have a taste of your favorite big stick!"
With a thought, the Jingu Bang instantly appeared in Xia Chen's hand, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the Black Crocodile.
Black Crocodile was startled when he suddenly saw Xia Chen appear in front of him, but that startled moment was quickly replaced by hatred.
He immediately wanted to open his blood-red maw and bite Xia Chen to pieces, but when he did so, he realized that the lower half of his face was empty.
Only then did the Black Crocodile realize that its jaw had been gone, and it became even angrier.
He then raised his enormous fist and slammed it towards Xia Chen.
The moment the Black Crocodile's fist was thrown out, a golden rod struck his chest.
As expected, the Black Crocodile's body flew out again, and even faster than before.
But this time he didn't crash through several mountain peaks, because Xia Chen had already appeared in his backward flight path before he had flown very far.
He raised the stick and lashed it at the Black Crocodile again.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
A series of dull thuds echoed as the Black Crocodile's body was hurled through the air like a sandbag.
Each time he was hit, he would spit out a mouthful of blood, which would then fall from the sky and drip onto some of the navy personnel.
At this moment, everyone below was stunned as they watched the brutal slaughter above, where the strength of the victims was completely unequal.
The Whitebeard wiped away non-existent sweat, a wave of fear washing over him.
If Xia Chen had treated him the same way during their fight that day, he definitely wouldn't be standing here now.
Kaido, standing to the side, looked up with utter admiration and couldn't help but speak:
"As expected of Boss Xia Chen, his strength is truly formidable!"
Then, Kaido even raised her hand and shouted, "Go! Boss Xia Chen! Take down this black guy!"
Kaido's shout finally brought the stunned Brown Turtle and Purple Foot on the Navy side back to their senses, and their expressions changed drastically.
Purple Foot shouted, "Stop! Xia Chen!"
After saying that, he used his Geppo to rush towards the battlefield in the sky, with the Brown Turtle following closely behind, also heading upwards.
The sight of Black Crocodile's monstrous appearance and the fact that Black Crocodile was completely unable to fight back had a profound impact on them.
For a moment, they were stunned and didn't even react in time to help Black Crocodile.
Now that they've realized what's happening, they definitely can't let Xia Chen continue like this, otherwise they'll be missing a Admiral combatant before the fight even officially begins.
A smile appeared on Xia Chen's lips as he watched the two people flying towards him.
Countless black and red Inazuma suddenly appeared around the Jingu Bang in his hand, exuding immense power!
Then he slowly uttered two words.
" Godfall!"
