High above Onigashima, Xia Chen continued to watch the battle below with great interest.
Whether it's the battle between Kaido and Luffy, or the battle between Big Mom and Zoro Sanji, it has now entered its final stage.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the outcome should be decided soon.
Suddenly, Xia Chen's expression froze, and after a long while, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Hey! How come so many bugs have suddenly gotten in here!"
What are they planning to do?
Xia Chen looked in a certain direction, piercing through an unknown distance before landing on a group of people in the air below.
This group of twelve people is heading rapidly towards Onigashima.
These people were all dressed in gold suits, wearing gold-plated masks, and exuding an incredibly powerful aura.
Suddenly, the person in the lead wearing a dragon-face mask stopped in his tracks.
The others around him also stopped in their tracks and turned to look at him.
"What's wrong, Chen Dragon!"
One of the people wearing a rat-face mask spoke up.
Chen Dragon remained silent for a while before finally speaking:
"I think I just sensed the gaze of a powerful being!"
"This is a feeling that can only be experienced with Lord Imu!"
To everyone's surprise, this statement immediately drew a rebuttal from one of the people present.
"Impossible! How could anyone in this world possess the strength of Lord Imu, or even be close to it!"
" Chen Dragon! You must be mistaken!"
Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, all agreeing with the speaker's statement.
To them, Lord Imu was like a god, radiating a dazzling and blazing light, an existence that no one could touch.
The gap between God and man is not easily bridged!
"Um..."
After hearing everyone refute his point of view, Chen Dragon remained silent for a long time, then nodded and said:
"I must have been mistaken!"
"Alright, let's hurry to Onigashima! We can't afford to fail the mission Lord Imu entrusted to us!"
Having said that, Chen Dragon shot out and continued heading towards Onigashima as before.
Seeing this, the others followed Chen Dragon's footsteps, and the twelve of them, exuding a powerful aura, approached Onigashima.
"Um?!"
"You can actually sense my gaze?"
Xia Chen, high above in the sky, looked down at the twelve people below with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"CP0? Or something else? How come Imu possesses such power?"
"These guys are way too strong!"
"The target is Luffy?"
"And those masks, the twelve zodiac animals?"
One question after another popped into Xia Chen's mind, making him even more curious about the identities of this group of people.
These guys all exuded the aura of Admiral.
And many of them are not just ordinary Admiral!
Take, for example, the man wearing the dragon-face mask who just sensed Xia Chen's gaze. Xia Chen felt that his strength was even comparable to Kaido's!
This statement about Kaido's doesn't refer to the Kaido in the original work, but rather to Kaido now that Three Types of Haki have reached the King Level.
Although he was the strongest among them, it was still quite astonishing.
"Twelve Admiral- level fighters—that's enough to destroy any organization in the world, isn't it?"
"That Imu guy, he actually had such a powerful fighting force hidden away?"
"Looks like there's a big show to watch!"
Xia Chen's lips curled up slightly, showing no concern whatsoever about the sudden appearance of twelve Admiral- level combatants.
Faced with overwhelming strength, numerical superiority ceases to be an advantage!
This shows his confidence in himself!
The battlefield on the next level of Onigashima.
With Usopp having dealt with his opponents, the members of Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates were now all lying on the ground.
Although some of them were putting on an act, at this point, the Straw Hat Pirates had already achieved victory in terms of mid-level combat strength.
"Phew~"
Usopp transformed back into his normal form from his human-beast form, plopped down on the ground, and gasped for breath.
The countless wounds on his body testified to how intense the battle had been.
If it weren't for the powerful defensive and regenerative abilities granted by the White Tiger Fruit, he would have given up long ago.
Even so, he now felt incredibly weak and sore all over, with no strength left in his body.
"Hey! Usopp, how come you're so easily defeated? You're no good!"
Franky adjusted his glasses, looked at Usopp, and said with a smile.
" Franky, you're just talking nonsense without understanding the situation!"
"Why don't you try facing all these people at once?"
Usopp said irritably, then his gaze swept over everyone.
"And you guys too! You finished off your own opponents and didn't even bother to help me!"
"You just watched me fight against so many of them?"
Usopp rebuked the crowd mercilessly, his face contorted with anger.
He didn't expect that after these animals finished off their opponents, they wouldn't help him, but would just stand by and watch him fight, and even went so far as to comment on his actions.
╭(╯^╰)╮!
He's getting upset!
Usopp kept a straight face and turned his head away, not wanting to see them.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, their faces showing a hint of embarrassment.
"Hey Brook! Usopp seems really angry now, what do we do?"
Franky leaned closer to Brook and asked.
"I don't know either!"
Brook shrugged and said helplessly.
"No problem! I have a solution!"
At that moment, Nami suddenly spoke up, her tone full of confidence.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at her, Chopper quickly spoke up:
" Nami! Do you have any ideas?"
"Watch me!"
Nami gave everyone a reassuring look, then turned to Usopp and said in a slightly flattering tone:
"It's because you're quite capable, and we thought you could handle it on your own! After all, you've always been someone we feel at ease with!"
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this Usopp couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, suppressing his inner smugness, and tried to speak in a calm tone:
"That's true! After all, Captain Usopp has always made people feel safe!"
"ε=(´ο`*))) Sigh!"
"You know this yourself, there's no need to say it out loud!"
"You're making me a little embarrassed! Really!"
"Hahaha... Hahaha!"
Everyone:...
I didn't see even the slightest bit of embarrassment in you!
Chopper looked at Nami and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"You always have a way!"
"Simply put, after spending so much time with these guys, I know them inside and out, what their weaknesses are!"
"I handled it with ease!"
Nami waved her hand dismissively.
Just as Chopper was about to say something, twelve figures used Geppo to instantly dart past them, drawing everyone's attention...
