Saint Saturn's pupils contracted, and he instantly rushed towards Xia Chen.

The other four Five Elders didn't just stand by and watch either; the moment Saint Saturn charged out, they also rushed towards Xia Chen.

"You lot are just as brave as those in later generations!"

Xia Chen said calmly, and then suddenly stood up.

With a flash of movement, four Ice Ball balls shot out towards the four Five Elders flying behind them at incredible speed.

Then Xia Chen's figure also disappeared from the spot.

The next moment.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Five muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously. The four old men who attacked last among the Five Elders were sent flying just as fast as they had attacked.

As for the first Saint Saturn to rush out.

He was sent flying backward at a speed far greater than when he arrived, his body leaving a trail in the air as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

This commotion instantly drew the attention of everyone else on the battlefield.

But when they turned to look in Xia Chen's direction, all they saw were four purple Ice Ball falling from the sky toward the ground.

Then Xia Chen's figure flashed in the air, kicking the Ice Ball one by one into the distant sky.

Having completed all this, Xia Chen landed back on the high platform, looking down at the four Five Elders below, and said calmly:

"Looks like you guys aren't up to the task either!"

"Five against one can't beat him, is there anything you can do to help?"

The four of them slowly got up from the ground, their eyes never leaving Xia Chen.

His face was extremely pale, and his eyes were incredibly serious.

I still feel a bit short of breath.

However, compared to the Saint Saturn, they were far better.

At that moment, all four of them couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Luckily, they were playing Ice Ball!

That's right, in that brief moment, each of them was hit by an Ice Ball.

Meanwhile, Saint Saturn, whose whereabouts are now unknown, received a punch from Xia Chen.

It's obvious which of the two is more powerful.

Xia Chen also wanted to say something about this situation: it really wasn't him targeting Saturn.

He's always the first to rush to the front, just like he was in his time, and he's still like that now!

If we don't hit him, who should we hit?

In the original story, Saturn was the first of the Five Elders to die, so ultimately it was his own fault.

It can only be said that being too radical is not always a good thing!

Most of the others watching this scene were utterly shocked.

Even the Rocks Pirates, who already had a general idea of Xia Chen's strength, were incredibly surprised.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, they saw Saturn fly out and the other Five Elders, all of whom were now clutching their chests.

The situation is so clear, it doesn't need further explanation, right?

Five against one and still at a disadvantage—at this moment, they all wanted to say the same thing Xia Chen had just said.

Is this even somewhat useful?

Of course, they all knew that it wasn't that the Five Elders were too weak, but that Xia Chen was too strong!

Each of the Five Elders possesses the strength of Admiral, and is among the strongest of the Admiral. If even they are weak, then there are few strong individuals left on the field.

"So cool! Boss Xia Chen!"

Kaido sent a Marine flying with a single blow, couldn't help but shout at Xia Chen's nonchalant demeanor.

As Xia Chen had indeed imagined, his power was boundless.

" Xia Chen! He always likes to keep things to himself!"

Whitebeard, who was fighting Garp on the other side, also chuckled.

Even though he and Xia Chen were quite familiar with each other, he still didn't know Xia Chen's Iceburg.

Shaking his head, Whitebeard looked at the utterly horrified Garp ahead and said with a smile:

Do you still think you have a chance of winning?

"I was right there when Xia Chen killed your Three Admirals, and I clearly saw the whole thing!"

"To put it bluntly, Xia Chen killing those three was no different than killing three chickens!"

"Whether it's you, me, the Five Elders, or anyone else here, the gap between you and Xia Chen is just too great!"

Garp's face darkened, and he did not reply.

He didn't think Whitebeard had any reason to deceive him.

Xia Chen's strength far surpasses theirs, which is not good news for him.

Because then he wouldn't be able to avenge Admiral Purple Foot!

He was initially quite happy to see Xia Chen and Rocks fall out, because it would greatly increase their chances of winning.

So his original intention was to stall Whitebeard first, and then have the Five Elders and Kong together to quickly take down Rocks.

Finally, they'll join forces to deal with Xia Chen!

The problem is that the Five Elders didn't help Kong; instead, they just watched from the sidelines.

What the hell is this? They're still putting on airs and not making a move.

Now that he'd finally managed to make a move, only to be beaten so badly, Garp muttered a curse under his breath.

"A bunch of old good-for-nothings!"

After saying that, Garp turned his gaze to Whitebeard and said:

" Newgate! Which side are you on now?"

" Rocks and Xia Chen have now fallen out. If you're on Rocks' side, Xia Chen's formidable strength will have nothing to do with you!"

You could even be considered enemies!

"Since you say Xia Chen's strength far surpasses ours, you should be aware of the consequences of becoming his enemy, right?"

"But if you're on Xia Chen's side, why are you stopping me from dealing with Rocks?"

"Even if we're going to deal with Xia Chen after eliminating Rocks, wouldn't it be better to let us help you eliminate your enemy?"

Garp's tone was questioning; he seemed somewhat bewildered by Whitebeard's actions.

"Gurararara! You've certainly asked the right question!" The Whitebeard laughed heartily.

"My current allegiance? You can consider me to be on Xia Chen's side, or you can consider me to be on the free side, meaning I don't belong to either side!"

"As for why I should stop you from helping Rocks fight Kong?"

"I don't think your statement is quite right. From beginning to end, my fight with you wasn't to stop you from going to support Kong; I just wanted to fight you!"

"After all, if we don't fight this time, we might not have many more opportunities in the future!"

"If you want to go support Kong now, that's fine, but you have to take one of my slashes first!"

"If you catch it, you can go; if you can't..."

Before Whitebeard could finish speaking, he instantly darted forward, leaping high into the air with a powerful push.

Murakumogiri raised high above his head.

Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki surged forth simultaneously, radiating unparalleled power.
