The members of Big Mom Pirates, in particular, felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.
Although Big Mom Pirates is now allied with Kaido Pirates, they're still not very comfortable here.
After all, the two pirate crews had clashed with each other before.
They were enemies who were constantly threatening to kill each other, but now they've become allies on the same side.
But there's nothing we can do; it's their Mama's decision!
On the other side were the members of the Beasts Pirates, but those who could stay in this hall now held quite high positions within the pirate crew.
They are all pirates of at least the level of Headliners!
The others weren't even qualified to enter the hall.
Among them, three enormous figures were gathered together, exuding a much stronger sense of oppression than the other pirates.
The Beasts Pirates' All-Stars! Also known as the All-Stars!
Drought Jack, Plague Queen, and Wildfire Jhin!
"Brother Jin! Why did Lord Xia Chen call in the Big Mom Pirates? Our Beasts Pirates are more than enough to deal with those kids!"
Jack looked at Jhin, puzzled, and asked.
In his view, Luffy and his crew were just a group of rookies, and there was absolutely no need for two Yonko-level pirate crews to deal with them!
After all, not all of them are as abnormal as Xia Chen.
" Jack! Don't underestimate the Straw Hat Pirates!"
Even without Xia Chen, the Straw Hat Pirates ' strength should not be underestimated!
" The Straw Hat Boy Katakuri proves that he is indeed strong!"
"Um..."
Upon hearing this, Jack paused for a moment.
Of course he knew Katakuri and had witnessed Katakuri's strength.
Although the opponent's bounty is not as high as Jhin's, he is a person whose strength is comparable to Jhin's.
Even so, Jack still felt it was a bit of an overreaction.
Even if Straw Hat Boy can handle King, can he handle Kaido?
Are you kidding me!
However, he only made a comment about it, after all, it was Kaido's decision, and even more so, Xia Chen's decision!
Having witnessed Xia Chen's power, he naturally dared not have any thought of rebuttal.
Even a shipping magnate can back down!
Of course, most people are cowards, but a small minority are not.
for example...
" Pay-Pay! Why do you think Mr. Kaido listens to that Xia Chen's orders?"
"And what does he mean? Does he want us to deal with his crew?"
"And the kind where they beat you to death? Could it be that he's been dissatisfied with his crew for a while now?"
"He wants to use us to kill his crew so he won't have to bear the stigma of killing his own comrades?"
"Doesn't he realize that with his past actions, he's already infamous worldwide? Why should he care about that?"
Ulti, one of the Flying Six, couldn't help but complain, her tone filled with dissatisfaction towards Xia Chen.
"If you ask me... Waaaaah!"
Ulti wanted to say something more, Page One quickly covered her mouth, saying with a helpless expression:
"Sister! Please speak more softly!"
"Is Xia Chen someone we can talk about? Aren't you afraid he'll hear you and kill you?"
"And if Kaido heard what you just said, he might teach you a lesson!"
"Words can be dangerous! I think we should talk less!"
"Creak!"
Just then, the hall door was pushed open, and a figure slowly walked in from outside.
Everyone on the field couldn't help but turn their gaze over.
A young man slowly walked in from outside, his expression unwavering despite the numerous menacing pirates surrounding him.
" Xia Chen!!"
"Boss Xia Chen, you're here?"
Kaido exclaimed happily, and stood up abruptly.
"Boss Xia Chen?"
Upon hearing Kaido's words, everyone present except Big Mom was completely dumbfounded.
When did Xia Chen become Kaido's boss?
"Um!"
Xia Chen nodded, then his gaze swept across the faces of everyone present. The people were no different from those in the original work.
Drake, one of the Supernovas, joined the Beasts Pirates and became one of the Flying Six.
Xia Chen only glanced at Drake before moving his gaze to Runti, who was also one of the Flying Six.
He stared at her coldly and asked in a low voice:
"I think I just heard... you seem to have some complaints about me?"
When Ulti said those words, Xia Chen had already arrived at the door. With his incredibly powerful Observation Haki, every word Ulti said reached his ears.
As for him, although he was powerful, he was not the kind of so-called master!
He simply takes those who are dissatisfied with him in stride and laughs them off.
He's different! He's a bit narrow-minded.
In the world of One Piece, the strong are meant to humiliate the weak!
Otherwise, wouldn't it be pointless?
"No! Absolutely not! Lord Xia Chen, you must have misheard!"
Before Ulti could speak, Page One immediately jumped out and stood in front of Ulti.
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his voice was filled with panic.
Standing before him was none other than Xia Chen, a figure renowned for his ruthlessness on the high seas!
He was genuinely afraid that the other party might kill them on a whim if they were dissatisfied.
" Pay-Pay! Get away from me!"
Ulti shoved Page One aside and stared back at Xia Chen defiantly.
"That's right! So what if I'm a little dissatisfied with you?"
"I really don't understand why you want us to help you deal with your crewmates. Aren't you guys in the pirate crew on good terms?"
"Didn't they storm Marine Headquarters directly for Nico Robin during the Summit War? What's going on now?"
Ulti's dissatisfied voice rang out, causing everyone present to tremble, including Kaido was seated at the head of the table.
He immediately bristled and glared.
" Ulti! What are you saying! Do you have any right to interfere with Boss Xia Chen's decisions?"
Kaido wanted nothing more than to slap Ulti to death. What a fool! Didn't she know who she was facing? So brave!
"Hey! Kaido! Don't be so angry, what she said does make a lot of sense!"
Xia Chen chuckled softly and looked at Ulti with interest.
He had to admit he admired the other person's courage; there weren't many people who dared to speak to him like that anymore.
If it were Ulti, Xia Chen truly believed that he wouldn't need to explain to her that he would still do the same thing to Luffy them.
But the problem is, other people don't know how!
That's why he told them not to hold back against Luffy and the others.
He's not bragging!
With his influence, there are very few people in the world who dare to disregard him!
And Luffy and his crew are his partners—that's something the whole world knows!
If we don't give them some instructions, they'll definitely hesitate to deal with Luffy and his crew later.
Once they have reservations, they won't be able to use their full strength, and naturally it will be difficult to bring out Luffy and his crew's potential.
Just like how Big Mom put Zoro and his crew in Totto Land!
This was clearly not the outcome Xia Chen wanted to see.
He always felt that something would happen in the near future, and he couldn't always be by Luffy and his crew's side; they had to face many things on their own.
Just like Xia Chen's trip back to that era, it wasn't without such intentions.
However, despite his thoughts, he would never share them with the little Ulti in front of him.
"You're very brave, so there's something I'm very curious about!"
"Does your ability match your audacity?"
"Let me give it a try!"
