As Xia Chen finished speaking, a powerful blow slammed heavily into the Black Crocodile.
"Sizzle!"
In an instant, everyone seemed to hear the sound of bones cracking.
A blur flashed by, and the Black Crocodile's body appeared before Purple Foot and Brown Turtle.
Since these two want to save Black Crocodile, Xia Chen will naturally grant their wish and "return" Black Crocodile to them.
Because of the sheer speed, the two of them didn't even have time to react before the Black Crocodile's body slammed heavily onto them.
Then, what was originally a one-person flight became a three-person flight.
The immense force propelled the three of them toward the ground at an incredible speed, where they crashed into the earth in an instant.
"Boom!"
A tremendous roar resounded, and a huge crater was instantly smashed into the ground.
Centered on the point where the three of them landed, the surrounding ground began to crack inch by inch, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards.
The surrounding houses also began to collapse one after another.
Once all the noise subsided, the town within a radius of several kilometers had been completely reduced to ruins, with countless rubble scattered across the ground.
Xia Chen stood on the Flying Nimbus, calmly looking down.
And in the ruins below.
One by one, the sailors were crawling out of the rubble, their clothes tattered and looking extremely disheveled.
CP0, dressed in a white suit, remained as before, his white suit not even a speck of dust.
Because he was wearing a mask, no one could see his expression.
But if someone were behind him at that moment, they would see that his suit was completely clinging to his back, and his back was soaked with sweat.
Kaido and Whitebeard stood on two rocks on the other side, staring wide-eyed at the scene around them.
Especially when he saw a bottomless, pitch-black crater ahead, a bead of cold sweat couldn't help but trickle down his forehead.
Kaido stared blankly at his surroundings, then looked at Xia Chen in the sky, a fervent glint in his eyes.
"Boss Xia Chen! He's really too strong!!"
"Wow, that's how powerful it was! Looks like Xia Chen really held back a lot when he fought me that day!"
The Whitebeard standing nearby couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
He could actually do something like that; if he used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit at full power, achieving the current situation wouldn't be too difficult for him.
The problem is that this requires his Devil Fruit ability, and the fact that he simply caused an earthquake to achieve this is completely incomparable to the power of the aftershocks from Xia Chen's attack.
The difference in power is enormous!
Even now, recalling the power of Xia Chen's blow Whitebeard still couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
If he were hit by that attack, he'd be practically dead, if not dead, right?
With that in mind, Whitebeard turned his gaze to the deep pit.
Someone has to die, right?
At this moment, at the bottom of the deep pit.
Because of the great depth and the fact that the sunlight was not direct, the visibility here was not high; basically, only an outline could be seen.
"Cough cough!"
Suddenly, a cough broke the silence, followed by a series of coughs.
"Cough! Cough!"
The two figures lying down slowly sat up one after the other, and then almost simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood.
The two were none other than the Brown Turtle and the Purple Foot, who had been used as cushions!
Then the two of them looked in the same direction, where a figure lay, its outline barely discernible.
Although visibility was low, the two could still see that the chest of the figure had completely collapsed.
as well as...
His aura had completely vanished!
Neither of them spoke; they remained silent.
After a while, the two leaped up and flew upwards using the Geppo, soon emerging from the deep pit.
The scene that greeted them upon exiting made their already grim expressions even worse.
The other naval forces were also greatly shocked when they saw the current state of their two Admiral.
His clothes were now reduced to just a few loose strips hanging from his body, and he was covered in bruises.
With his disheveled hair and dirty face, no one would doubt that he was a beggar from somewhere.
Do you still think I need to run?
At that moment, a soft voice rang out in the arena.
Xia Chen's figure slowly descended from the sky, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at the Brown Turtle and the Purple Foot.
The two men, Brown Turtle, didn't say anything upon hearing this, but instead looked at Xia Chen with extremely solemn expressions.
They now understood why the man in front of them hadn't shown the slightest fear throughout.
His strength gave him the confidence to be fearless!
They never imagined that Black Crocodile would be killed by this man in such a short time.
At this moment, they deeply regretted their previous overconfidence, thinking that having four Admiral- level fighters on their side meant they were guaranteed victory.
Ultimately, it's their problem—they believe that there could never be someone so powerful in the world!
But can we blame them? They've lived almost their entire lives without ever encountering such a powerful figure, and now, just as they're about to retire, they've run into them.
Now, it's questionable whether they can even escape back alive!
After pondering for a while, the Brown Turtle stared intently at Xia Chen and said:
" Xia Chen! How about we call it a day? You can have the Heavenly Tribute if you want!"
"We can drop the matter of Black Crocodile's death!"
"Ceasing hostilities here is the best option; otherwise, continuing the fight will only result in unnecessary casualties!"
"Um?"
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, which lasted for a long time before he stopped.
At this moment, Xia Chen had a smile on his face, looked at the Brown Turtle, pointed to its head, and asked:
"Has no one told you there's something wrong with this place?"
"What do you mean?" the Brown Turtle answered instinctively.
"The cerebellum is underdeveloped, and the cerebrum is completely underdeveloped!"
"That's your situation, otherwise how could you say something so stupid?"
Do you think you have the qualifications to talk to me now? And qualifications that don't cost you anything!
At this point, Xia Chen paused slightly, then his eyes revealed an undisguised killing intent.
"Kill you all! The Heavenly Tribute will still be ours!"
"As for the death of that black guy, you're not going to investigate? I'd like to ask, do you even have the power to investigate? What are you trying to prove by pretending to be something you're not?"
"At last!"
"Believe it or not, even if we slaughter everyone here, the three of us won't get a scratch!"
"In other words, only you will suffer casualties, while we..."
"That's not true!"
