Xia Chen's last words seemed to carry an endless chill, causing everyone in the room to shiver involuntarily.
Among them, the Golden Lion was the first to react and shouted:
"Come with me, all of you who are willing! I'll take you away from here!"
Without hesitation, Golden Lion immediately activated the power of his Float-Float Fruit.
Countless plots of land rose from the ground and flew into the sky, eventually coalescing into a small island.
The Whitebeard squinted at Xia Chen, and upon noticing the smile on his lips, he shouted to the surroundings:
"Those who wish to follow me will also leave this place on Shiki's Island!"
"Hey! Newgate! Why are your people allowed on my island too?"
Golden Lion looked at Whitebeard with displeasure and said.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the Whitebeard hummed in agreement, then deliberately sighed.
ε=(´ο`*))) Sigh!
"Are you really turning your back on me like this? I think I saved someone last year when they were almost hacked to death."
"What did someone say back then? I will definitely repay this kindness!"
"I can't believe they won't even let me set foot on the island now! It's truly disheartening!"
"It's alright, just consider it saving an ungrateful wretch!"
Whitebeard sighed and shook his head, leaving Shiki on the other side speechless.
Damn it, he'd completely forgotten that this guy in front of him had saved him!
"Alright, alright! Here you go, here you go! I just forgot about it!"
"How could I, Golden Lion Shiki, be an ungrateful person? Don't compare me to certain people!"
Rocks:???
"Everyone, get to Shiki's Island!"
That's Big Mom's voice.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion immediately turned his head and looked at the Big Mom, saying:
"Hey! Linlin! I don't remember you saving me!"
"I really couldn't save you!" The Big Mom nodded.
"How could you possibly have the nerve to say that...?"
"But I know someone who seems to really like picking their feet; they're always holding their stinky feet for no reason..."
"Stop!"
The Big Mom was interrupted by the Golden Lion before she could finish speaking, but a smile appeared on her face.
We've been in the same boat for so long, everyone knows a few little secrets, right?
The Golden Lion said helplessly:
" Linlin! Bring your people up here!"
" Shiki, so I've brought my men to your island too!"
John also spoke to the Golden Lion.
"Come on, come on!" the Golden Lion waved his hand.
Since there are already so many people, a few more won't hurt.
And if we don't agree, John will definitely say "I know" later.
Since the final result is to let them go to the island anyway, there's no need to argue, otherwise he'll expose something again.
Just then, the Golden Lion suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. As if sensing something, he turned his head and saw a huge fist growing larger and larger in his pupils.
"!!!"
The Golden Lion's pupils contracted sharply, and it tried to make a defensive move, but it was already too late.
The fist, carrying unparalleled power, slammed straight towards him.
At that moment, he also saw clearly that the person who attacked him was none other than Rocks in his human-beast form.
A sinister grin spread across Rocks ' face as he unleashed a punch at the Golden Lion without holding back.
He had originally planned to kill Xia Chen Golden Lion his group of traitors, so how could he possibly just stand by and watch them escape?
He said there's only one fate for those who betray him.
That's death!
At the critical moment, a golden shield suddenly rose from the Golden Lion's body, enveloping him completely.
"Bang!"
A dull thud followed, accompanied by Rocks's incredulous voice.
"How is that possible?!"
His fist struck the golden shield without causing the slightest damage, not even a ripple.
The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Rocks, and the golden club in his hand swung out instantly.
"Whoosh!"
With a whooshing sound, Rocks's figure plummeted towards the ground like a meteor, reaching the ground in an instant.
"Boom!"
A tremendous roar resounded through the sky, and a huge crater suddenly appeared centered on the point where Rocks landed, with the surrounding ground completely cracking.
In an instant, the earth shook and dust flew everywhere.
Above them, Xia Chen stood atop his Flying Nimbus, his Jingu Bang spinning a few times before settling on his shoulder. Looking down, he said calmly:
"I already told them to leave, and you still attacked? Doesn't that mean you don't respect me?"
"Gulp!"
A sound of swallowing saliva came from behind. The Golden Lion looked at its golden shield, then at Xia Chen in front of it, and then at the dusty ground below.
I can't help but feel glad that I made the right decision.
Fortunately, he remained steadfast in his belief that he could not be an enemy of Xia Chen; otherwise, he might have been the one to suffer this blow at any moment.
Moreover, being inside this golden shield, a sense of security inexplicably rose within him, as if nothing could break through his defenses as long as he had this shield.
He believed this feeling wasn't unfounded; rather, it was his intuition reminding him that even if he exerted all his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to pose the slightest threat to the shield.
After hesitating for a moment, the Golden Lion looked at Xia Chen and tentatively asked:
"Then, Lord Xia Chen, I'll take them with me and leave?"
Xia Chen is no longer the captain of the Rocks Pirates, nor is he a member of the Rocks Pirates. Of course, he won't continue to call him captain like before; he wouldn't be so oblivious.
"Um!"
Xia Chen gave a faint reply.
Upon receiving Xia Chen's reply, the Golden Lion immediately sprang to attention, turned around, and shouted to those around him:
"All pirates who want to leave this place, come here immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the Whitebeard, the Big Mom, and other cadres rushed out first, heading towards the direction where the Golden Lion was.
The Navy and CP0 personnel present did not stop this from happening.
They'd love for these people to leave, so why would they stop them?
The battle with Xia Chen is now a foregone conclusion for them.
At this point, every bit of reduction in Xia Chen's power is valuable, including those pirates who might be on Xia Chen's side.
Now they naturally understand that dealing with Xia Chen is the most important thing right now, and everything else can be put aside.
Of course, it wasn't that no one wanted to stop it, but the person who wanted to stop it is now lying in the pit.
With this precedent set, naturally no one would have any objections.
Xia Chen turned his head and shouted in a certain direction:
" Kaido, what are you standing there for?"
"Hurry up and come here, or you'll accidentally kill someone in the next fight and you'll regret it!"
"!!!"
