The figure took a few steps and stopped, the shield on its body began to slowly dissipate, and at the same time, a faint voice entered everyone's ears.
"Sorry! We made a bit too much noise!"
"After all, this move is a new idea I just came up with, and its power is a bit out of control!"
Xia Chen's tone was indifferent, but it made many powerful figures around him feel a chill, especially Rocks and the Xia Chen, who were on the opposing side.
As for the Golden Lion, the Big Mom, and other executives, although they were somewhat startled, they were not afraid.
They're not Xia Chen's enemies, so what's there to be afraid of?
As for dealing with the navy, is it to help Rocks?
Are you kidding me? They're just here to join in the fun.
If Rocks were to order them to fight Xia Chen now, they would definitely show Rocks what true, devoted subordinates are!
Stabbing Rocks would have been a blatant disrespect to one's own life if it had hesitated even for a moment!
Didn't they see that they couldn't sense the presence of one of the Five Elders after that explosion?
Faced with a man who could kill Admiral as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs, they dared not be his enemy!
"Boom!"
Just then, four violent auras suddenly rose from the distant forest, and then four huge black shadows appeared in everyone's sight.
"Those are... the Five Elders?"
Sensing the familiar aura emanating from the four dark figures, Kong uttered a sentence uncertainly.
Although his tone was uncertain, he already had a definite answer in his heart.
He hadn't expected that all Five Elders were Devil Fruit User, and judging from their current transformations, they all possessed Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
Not long after the Five Elders revealed their Devil Fruit Awakening forms, they vanished from their original positions and rushed towards Xia Chen.
That attack just now made them realize how terrifying Xia Chen was.
One of their colleagues was killed so easily, although it was partly because he hadn't activated his Devil Fruit powers and was not at his peak.
However, it cannot be denied that Xia Chen's strength has indeed exceeded their control, and he is no longer an opponent they can easily defeat.
Moreover, apart from Saturn, who had already been blasted away, the other three of the four heard Xia Chen's last words.
If their comprehension is sound, then Xia Chen means that they will be killed in the future, and the person who kills them...
It's Xia Chen!
If they had previously scoffed at this, the death of Saint Warcury before their eyes had now taught them a harsh lesson.
It turns out... their belief that no one could kill them was just wishful thinking!
In an instant, Xia Chen's perceived threat level rose to its peak in the eyes of the group.
They've surpassed their original primary target, Rocks, and become the person they need to eliminate first!
Xia Chen is too strong, and it's obvious from his appearance that he has a very unfriendly attitude towards the World Government.
Furthermore, if what he said is true...
Therefore, Xia Chen is an extremely dangerous factor for their World Government and must be dealt with immediately!
He saw several people—oh, no! several beasts—rushing towards him!
Xia Chen's expression remained unchanged as he chuckled and said:
"You think you can do it just by changing your skin?"
"Perfect, let me use some ancient techniques to play with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the void beside Xia Chen flickered, and then four Clone Xia Chen Xia Chen appeared next to him.
It was Xia Chen's Clone Technique, which he hadn't used in ages!
Xia Chen hadn't used this ability in a long time.
Firstly, as his strength grows, although the Navy and the World Government remain as shameless as ever, preferring to fight multiple opponents at once.
But they no longer pose a threat to him, and he no longer needs to summon Clone to help him restrain some people.
Secondly, the Clone Technique actually has limitations. The reason why people thought there were no limitations before was because their strength had not reached that level.
We only realized this now that our strength has increased.
His Clone can no longer perfectly replicate his strength.
The replication of his physique and Haki remained largely unaffected, but the three abilities he possessed—rock, fire, and ice—could not be passed on to his Clone.
Come to think of it, his three abilities are too overpowered. If his Clone could inherit them, that would indeed be a bit outrageous.
However, even without these three abilities, he is still the strongest in the world, at least in terms of one-on-one combat.
He has now created four Clone, and according to the rules of his Clone Technique, each Clone now possesses only 85% of his strength without the three elemental abilities.
His strength is 85%, which sounds impressive, and it truly is!
It's more than enough to deal with these old guys!
With a thought, four Clone instantly rushed out and sped towards the four Five Elders.
Then Xia Chen looked in another direction, a smile appearing on his lips.
" Zoan, Mythical Zoan, Cat-Cat Fruit, White Tiger Form!"
" Rocks! I didn't expect your Devil Fruit to be this; it's quite a surprise!"
At this moment, Rocks had transformed into a humanoid beast form in the White Tiger Form, his back covered in white fur. His muscles bulged all over his body, and a huge "king" character on his forehead exuded an imposing Haki!
In terms of appearance, it is similar to the human-beast form of Kaido Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, but it has an added touch of Haki!
Moreover, Rocks ' original height was less than two meters, but after transforming into his human-beast form, he grew significantly taller, reaching a height similar to that of Kaido- beast form in later generations.
If that's the case, will Usopp also become this tall when he transforms into his human-beast form?
Hmm, that does make me quite excited!
Now Xia Chen understood that the White Tiger Fruit Imu had given him was actually obtained from Rocks.
It seems that Rocks really treated Imu well; after his death, he not only gave him his body but also his fruit.
" Xia Chen..."
Rocks's voice was low, and his expression was somewhat grim.
At this moment, he regretted breaking up with Xia Chen. He knew Xia Chen was hiding something, but he didn't expect there to be so much.
Moreover, he felt that Xia Chen might still have many moves he hadn't used yet.
This is not without basis. For example, these Clone had never seen Xia Chen use this technique before.
Moreover, the problem is that these Clone are extremely powerful, as can be seen from their current prowess in fighting the Five Elders.
Xia Chen's endless tricks instilled a sense of fear in Rocks. If he hadn't had a backup plan that he believed could counter Xia Chen, he would have run away long ago.
However, the current situation is not optimistic. It would be very difficult for him to defeat Xia Chen on his own.
Thinking of this, Rocks' eyes flickered, then he asked Kong in a low voice:
How about we join forces for now?
"!!!"
