" Newgate, you bastard!"
Garp cursed under his breath, then wrapped his right fist in Armament Haki, pulled his body apart, and assumed a charging stance.
When he reached his limit, Garp's eyes narrowed, and his long-charged right fist was unleashed in an instant.
" Fist Bone Impact!"
Before he could finish speaking, a powerful shockwave shot out from Garp's fist.
Whitebeard arrived not far from Garp, Murakumogiri and slashing it down fiercely.
"Boom!"
The moment the two collided, an incredibly powerful aftershock spread outwards.
Centered on the two individuals, the surrounding ground cracked and crumbled, creating an incredibly powerful impact.
Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of everyone around.
However, powerful figures like Rocks and the Five Elders, who were at the Admiral level or above, only glanced at it before looking away.
The battle between Whitebeard and Garp was indeed a big commotion, but it wasn't difficult for them to do so.
For them, the real threat is Xia Chen!
Even though Rocks didn't see Xia Chen Xia Chen a move, he could tell from the fear on the faces of those old guys.
Xia Chen might be more powerful than he imagined, which is not good news for him.
Thinking of this, Rocks turned his gaze to the somewhat disheveled Kong not far ahead and said:
"Old man, I'm done playing with you! Now I'll show you my true strength!"
As he slid down, Rocks ' figure shot forward instantly, and his posture gradually changed during the sprint.
Seeing Rocks ' ever-growing physique and the new features appearing on his body, Kong's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in horror:
"What... what is this?"
--
On Xia Chen's side.
The Five Elders gazed at Xia Chen, who wore a faint smile on the high platform, their eyes filled with solemnity.
After a moment of silence, Marcus Saint Mars looked at Xia Chen and asked:
"Are you really from the future?"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen raised an eyebrow and then chuckled softly.
Yes! That's right!
He wasn't too surprised that these old guys knew he was from the future.
After all, when he talked about this on the Oro Jackson, he didn't hide it from the ordinary crew members; he only told Rayleigh and Gaban the core details.
Now that a month has passed, it's not surprising that the World Government's intelligence capabilities are aware of this.
"You came to this era using the power of the Time-Time Fruit?"
Saint Mars asked again.
"That's right!"
Xia Chen answered again.
What other major events about the future do you know?
They largely believed the claim that Xia Chen came from the future.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why, given their intelligence capabilities, they had never heard of Xia Chen's name before, and why, given their deep knowledge of Devil Fruit, they knew that the Time-Time Fruit could indeed accomplish these things.
"I do know a lot about major events of the future, many of which concern your World Government!"
"For example, you will all be killed in the future!"
Xia Chen stared at the group and gave them a playful smile.
"!!!"
"Impossible!"
The four Five Elders refuted in unison, their tone filled with certainty.
They have been in this position for hundreds of years, and nothing has affected them in the slightest during that time.
Given the unique nature of their fruits, killing them is incredibly difficult, a fact they, as the fruit's owners, understand better than anyone else.
"No one in this world can kill us!"
"You think you can influence us with this? You're being incredibly naive!"
Topman Saint Warcury spoke up, looking as if he knew exactly what Xia Chen was up to.
The other Five Elders shared the same expression as Topman Saint Warcury; none of them believed Xia Chen's words.
ε=(´ο`*))) Sigh!
Why is it that some people don't believe me when I tell the truth?
Xia Chen shook his head and said in a helpless tone.
"It seems that for you old fogies with such rigid thinking, you only believe things when the facts are laid out before you do!"
"Since that's the case..."
Xia Chen paused here, then his eyes narrowed, and he said, word by word:
"Then I'll have no choice but to kill you a second time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chen slowly raised his hand and then clenched it tightly.
Countless purple ice blocks instantly appeared out of thin air beside Topman Saint Warcury, and then covered him.
"!!"
Saint Warcury's pupils constricted sharply as he tried to react, but the purple ice block was too fast, giving him no chance to react.
In an instant, it enveloped his entire body, and a block of ice appeared before everyone.
That wasn't all. The moment the purple ice block took shape, countless crimson flames appeared out of thin air around it, encircling it.
At this moment, Xia Chen, standing on the high platform, uttered a single word.
"Burst!"
Countless crimson flames, as if under some command, rushed to attach themselves to the purple ice.
The next moment...
"Boom!"
The massive explosion produced a Earth Shaker roar.
The powerful force of the explosion then swept outwards.
The other three old men who were nearby were blasted away immediately.
The platform where Xia Chen stood was instantly crushed into dust by this force.
Meanwhile, the numerous pirates and marines engaged in battle also noticed this anomaly and turned to look...
(#°Д°)!
In a mere 0.01 seconds, everyone's bodies had already made the best choice for them at that moment.
His figure vanished instantly, sprinting wildly towards the outer perimeter.
Of course, this is only the choice for those pirates or marines with relatively weak strength. Those with the strength of Admiral certainly don't need to run away, but they still need to use some means to resist.
Fortunately, they were some distance apart; otherwise, if they had gotten too close, even with the strength of Admiral, they probably wouldn't have fared well.
Those old guys, the Five Elders, are the best example!
It took quite some time for the commotion to subside, but the epicenter of the explosion was still shrouded in thick smoke and dust.
The Golden Lion watched the smoke and dust gradually dissipate in the distance, a hint of curiosity in its eyes.
"What exactly is Xia Chen doing?"
Although he didn't know what had happened over there, he knew without a doubt that Xia Chen was behind such a commotion.
What puzzled him was: Wasn't Xia Chen's actions also dragging him into the mess?
But the next second, Golden Lion realized how wrong his idea was.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, a glimmer of golden light gradually shone through.
A figure enveloped in a golden shield slowly emerged from the smoke and dust...
