A powerful shockwave erupted and clashed with the encroaching wave of fire.
A void formed around them.
After a while, when the flames subsided, the two of them exhaled a large breath of stale air.
Then he looked around, his eyes filled with horror.
Everywhere except where they stood, the rocks melted into lava, which dripped down to the ground.
Not long after, they arrived at a lava field from the ruins.
You can now experience the feeling of fighting in different environments!
very nice!
The two of them then turned their gaze to a spot where a huge, crimson flame stood.
Even from a considerable distance, they could feel the intense heat emanating from the flame.
Whitebeard's eyes flickered, and he murmured softly:
"Is this the flame that Xia Chen used to severely injure Shiki that day? It's so powerful! What kind of fruit is this?"
In Whitebeard's past memories, he was certain that he did not recognize this fruit.
He would never forget such a powerful fruit if he had ever seen it before.
"Wow, Xia Chen, that's really powerful!"
Whitebeard couldn't help but sigh. He was already so powerful with Haki and physical skills, but he never expected there to be such a powerful Devil Fruit.
How are his enemies supposed to compete?
Thankfully, they were companions!
A slight smile appeared on Whitebeard's lips, before he turned his gaze back to CP0 not far away.
Xia Chen is doing so well, he can't be too bad either!
With this in mind, Whitebeard stomped his feet hard, the ground cracked open instantly, and he shot out...

Meanwhile, on the side of the Purple Foot and the Brown Turtle...
The two of them were lying on the ground, their chests heaving as they gasped for breath.
Then the two slowly stood up, felt the Haki within their bodies, and their expressions turned extremely ugly.
Because they were too close together, they didn't have time to launch an effective attack to block the wave of fire.
At that time, they could only cover their entire bodies with Armament Haki to defend themselves.
The effect was significant; aside from being blasted away and experiencing some blood turmoil, they were basically unharmed.
Of course, the price for this was a significant depletion of their Haki, and...
All his clothes were burned off, thus achieving the feat of walking his bird in the sun!
The two of them didn't seem to care much about this; as the saying goes, experience is the best teacher!
At their age, they naturally have thicker skin than most people; it's just a simple bird-walking activity, nothing serious!
Furthermore, there was no one around; who else could have seen it besides them?
What they care about now is...
How should they deal with Xia Chen?
Looking down at the two people through the crimson flames, Xia Chen couldn't help but show a look of disdain.
"Tsk tsk! Those two hummingbirds have the nerve to let themselves out for a stroll! They've got some nerve!"
Xia Chen wasn't bothered that the wave of fire hadn't caused any real damage to the two of them, because it didn't even qualify as an attack.
He simply couldn't control the power that was leaking out when he was trying it.
And now, he has succeeded.
Next...
Xia Chen smiled slightly, then slowly uttered another word.
"Certainly!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the raging crimson flames began to slowly stabilize, like a docile kitten.
Then the shape of the flames kept changing, and an outline slowly appeared.
Before the stunned eyes of Purple Foot and Brown Turtle, a crimson fire giant, tens of meters tall, appeared before them.
The giant's face was that of a monkey, with feathers puffing up on its crown and red tassels fluttering on its forehead like burning clouds.
She wore a finely crafted suit of armor that perfectly hugged her body's curves. Below, she wore a fiery battle skirt, the hem of which was embroidered with mysterious runes.
She wore high-top leather boots, exquisite and elegant, with slightly upturned toes that exuded a free-spirited charm.
A fiery cloak trailed behind him, the burning flames radiating a menacing aura.
Finally, there was the huge stick in his hand, which was exactly the same as the stick Xia Chen used in terms of shape and texture.
The difference is that this stick is made entirely of flames.
If his compatriots from a previous life were here, they would definitely recognize him at a glance as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven from the Black Monkey series.
What a pity! Nobody here will recognize him!
To everyone around, the enormous figure that appeared before them was like a demon from hell.
It was filled with an aura of destruction and danger!
The pressure emanating from it made their bodies sink, and some of the weaker marines were already trembling just by watching it.
Xia Chen looked indifferently at the two people below and said:
"Come on! Show me the strength of your two Admiral, don't bore me!"
The disdain in his indifferent tone made Purple Foot and Brown Turtle's faces turn extremely ugly.
Then the Brown Turtle immediately took a few steps forward and roared:
"Don't be so arrogant, Xia Chen!"
"We are Marine Admiral! We will not allow you to look down on us like this!"
"Stop talking nonsense! If you want respect, show it with your abilities, not just your loud voice!"
This is a world where strength reigns supreme, not just about having the loudest voice!
Xia Chen's tone remained indifferent.
You'll see!
The Brown Turtle's eyes narrowed, and then its body began to rapidly turn into rock. The rock then began to expand and increase in number.
A moment later, a rock giant as huge as the Flame Brother Monkey appeared opposite Xia Chen.
Although he's tall enough, he's far inferior to the Flame Brother Monkey in terms of imposing presence and power.
"Interesting!"
A smile appeared on Xia Chen's lips as he looked at the rock giant opposite him.
To be fair, this rock giant isn't as intimidating as the giant created by Bullet's Combine-Combine Fruit!
It might be similar to the rock giant created by Pica under Doflamingo's command.
Wow, there are so many abilities associated with stones!
I just don't know whether Pica's Paramecia Stone-Stone Fruit stronger or this guy's Logia Rock-Rock Fruit stronger!
After all, the Stone-Stone Fruit's relatively weak performance might simply be due to Pica's weakness.
However, no matter what, it's definitely not as good as his rock element; they're not even in the same league in terms of rank.
Xia Chen didn't plan to create a rock giant to play with the Brown Turtle. He had already done that when he fought Bullet, so now he wanted something different!
As Xia Chen was lost in thought, the rock giant that the Brown Turtle had transformed into had already arrived in front of the Flame Brother Monkey.
The Brown Turtle roared angrily:
"I will let you know..."
" Admiral cannot be humiliated!"
Having said that, he raised his huge rock fist and smashed it down towards Xia Chen.
But Xia Chen didn't make any move, just quietly watching the rocky fist get closer and closer to him.
A slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
"Boom!"
