And the last person is, of course,...
King Luffy!!
Xia Chen sensed his body after transforming into Luffy, then threw a punch forward.
His fist extended forward like Luffy's, then retracted.
" Gear Second!"
A soft voice came from Xia Chen's mouth, and he lightly stomped his right foot on the ground, causing his calf to change as if it were being inflated.
Then its entire body emitted a pale pink glow and steam.
"Um..."
"It doesn't seem like there's much improvement!"
Xia Chen shook his head and complained.
Luffy Gear Second enhances Luffy's abilities because his physique hasn't reached a certain level yet.
For him, this skill was useless except for emitting some gas.
Xia Chen waved his hand, disengaging from the Gear Second.
Gear Second was just a small appetizer for him to test Luffy's abilities; what he really wanted to test was...
Xia Chen closed his eyes and focused his attention on his mental space.
Xia Chen was immersed in the boundless darkness, carefully searching for that glimmer of light.
I don't know how much time passed...
Xia Chen felt his heartbeat suddenly slow down, but each beat became stronger and stronger.
Thump!
Thump!
"Thump thump thump thump!"
As the war drums sounded and the power of liberation swept in, a smile inexplicably appeared on Xia Chen's lips.
"They're here!"
Xia Chen opened his eyes, and white gas rose from his body, gradually forming a white ribbon behind him.
At the same time, his clothes began to turn white rapidly, as if they had been dyed, and so did his hair.
The next moment, as Xia Chen's entire body turned white, an incomparably terrifying Conqueror's Haki was released from his body, sweeping outwards.
Black and red Inazuma struck the surrounding ground, creating cracks.
At the same time, a powerful Conqueror's Haki swept towards Zou, and all the Mink Tribe on the island felt this terrifying aura.
Most of the Mink Tribe rolled their eyes and lost consciousness the moment they came into contact with this Conqueror's Haki.
"What... what's going on?"
In the forest, an enormous cat-like Mink Tribe stared in horror at the direction from which the Conqueror's Haki was coming, sweat dripping down his body and soaking his golden fur.
It was Boss Nekomamushi, one of the two kings of the Mokomo Dukedom on Zou, known as the 'King of the Night'!
Around him were countless Mink Tribe had already lost consciousness.
"How could someone possess such powerful Conqueror's Haki? That's impossible!"
The Cat Viper had vacant eyes and kept shaking its head and muttering softly.
"This Conqueror's Haki is absolutely the Conqueror's Haki he has ever seen, bar none!"
"If it weren't for his strong will, he would have almost lost consciousness just now!"
He was quite confident in his own strength, having fought alongside Kozuki Oden and the Kaido Pirates.
One of the Nine Red Scabbards!
But he almost couldn't withstand even a burst of Conqueror's Haki just now, which shows how powerful the person who released Conqueror's Haki is.
"No! I have to go see who it is!"
"If he harbors ill will towards Zou..."
"Even if I die, I will die before my fellow tribesmen!"
The Cat Viper's eyes gradually hardened, and then it sped off, heading towards the direction where the Conqueror's Haki had been released.
He didn't say anything like, "We will absolutely not let the enemy destroy this island."
Because he knew it was impossible!
He didn't believe he had the ability to face the owner of that Conqueror's Haki.
In another location on Zou, a similarly enormous canine Mink Tribe was also heading in the direction where Conqueror's Haki had been released.
He is another Mokomo Dukedom, Duke Inuarashi, the King of Daylight!
At this moment, his thoughts were the same as the Cat Viper's; both had solemn expressions and were ready to face death.
His figure flashed swiftly through the forest, moving at an incredible speed!
On Xia Chen's side.
Hahahaha...
Xia Chen suddenly covered his face and burst into laughter, his domineering Conqueror's Haki intensifying.
"Interesting! This inexplicable feeling of joy welling up from the bottom of my heart!"
"No wonder Luffy kept laughing in the original Luffy!"
"Is this what they call Liberation Warrior who bring joy to people?"
"But... it's a bit silly to keep laughing like that!"
Xia Chen said something in a low voice, then the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression returned to calm.
Luffy can't suppress the will residing within the Devil Fruit, but he can!
He doesn't want to laugh, and no one can force him to!
Xia Chen carefully felt the changes in his body, then nodded slightly.
good!
It must be said that this Nika Form is not bad. Although it cannot improve his physique, it does give him all sorts of strange and wonderful abilities.
for example...
Xia Chen lightly stomped his foot on the opposite side, and the ground instantly rippled like a calm lake, before undergoing a magical transformation.
The ground suddenly became as bouncy and elastic as jelly.
Moreover, this 'jelly' has a lot of elasticity.
Xia Chen jumped up lightly, then landed.
Then my body was instantly bounced up, just like the feeling of playing on a trampoline in my past life.
Xia Chen lay down directly, his body bouncing back and forth on the 'jelly'.
"You know what! This ability is actually quite fun!"
Xia Chen said with a smile.
" Joy Boy! Joy Boy!"
Just then, an ancient, heavy voice entered Xia Chen's ears.
"Um?!"
Xia Chen looked down and knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice. He then spoke:
"I am not Joy Boy, Zunesha!"
"What??!"
The Zunesha's voice held a hint of doubt, then it spoke with unwavering certainty:
"You are Joy Boy, I can't be wrong! Only Joy Boy can exude that aura on you!"
"..."
"I told you I'm not Joy Boy, and that's it. Are you deaf, old man?"
"Who is Joy Boy, to dare compare himself to me?"
"If you keep babbling on and on, I'll kill you!"
"You've lived this long, haven't you wanted to die a long time ago?"
(⊙o⊙)...
The Zunesha was completely stunned by Xia Chen's sudden barrage of insults.
Beneath those dark eye sockets, the pupils, long since rotten, held a look of bewilderment.
Joy Boy... what happened to him?
Although he didn't know what was going on, the Zunesha wisely kept quiet.
He sensed a murderous aura emanating from this ' Joy Boy,' and if it kept babbling on, the man was very likely to kill him.
Xia Chen, who hadn't heard Zunesha's words for a while, glanced at it indifferently.
Then refocus your attention on yourself.
He remembered Imu saying that the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika had two forms, right?
