" Mr. 8 Shotgun!"
With a loud roar from Mr.8, countless bullets, accompanied by intense flames, poured out and struck the defensive shield.
but...
"How... how is this possible?" Mr. 8's eyes showed a look of horror.
All the bullets fell to the ground after hitting the shield, while the shield itself didn't even ripple.
A few minutes later~
Looking at the bullets scattered all over the ground and the still impenetrable defensive shield, Mr. 8 felt a sense of despair and couldn't help but kneel down on the ground.
Xia Chen looked at the bullets scattered on the ground and clicked his tongue in amazement. He said, "Why is Mr. 8's hair so long and thick? It's all used to hide bullets."
Meanwhile, Zoro's battle was over, and the rest of the Baroque Works members were now lying on the ground.
"Well, since that's the case, I should..."
Xia Chen stood up, about to say something, when he seemed to sense something and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Interesting!"
Xia Chen turned to Zoro and said, "You're in charge of the remaining three as well!"
After saying that, Xia Chen waved his hand casually, and the Master, Don't Be Afraid Shield in front of him disappeared. Then, his figure also vanished from the spot in an instant.
"That bastard, he dumped this mess on me again!" Zoro said resentfully, watching Xia Chen disappear.
Upon seeing the protective shield disappear, Mr. 8 immediately ran to Vivi and shook her vigorously.
Miss Wednesday, how are you?
They are currently unaware that their identities have been exposed, so even though they are worried, they still refer to her only by her code name.
After being shaken for a while, Vivi finally cleared her head a bit, and then she immediately looked at Mr. 8 and said, " Igaram, run! That man is not someone we can handle!"
Vivi called out Mr. 8's real name directly. At this moment, she didn't have many other thoughts. The scene of Xia Chen casually splitting a huge Iceburg was really frightening to her.
She simply couldn't muster any thought of resistance.
"Princess, you..."
Just as Igaram was about to say something, a sound came from afar.
"Oh, so everyone's here, you traitors from Baroque Works!"
A man with an afro, picking his nose, and a woman holding an umbrella walked towards them from a distance.
"Mr. 5, Miss Valentine!" Igaram exclaimed. Then, feeling guilty, he asked, "What traitor? What are you talking about?"
"Shall we continue this act, Captain Igaram of the Alabasta Kingdom's Guard?"
"And you, Miss Wednesday, Princess Vivi!"
Upon hearing Mr. 5's words, Igaram and Vivi's expressions instantly turned ugly.
How did you know who we were?
"You think you've hidden yourself well? Baroque Works is not as simple as you think!"
"Alright, I've said enough about you, it's time to send you on your way. Who told you to be so eager to die, to go and pry into the boss's secrets?"
Mr. 5 and his companion slowly walked towards Vivi and the others, their boogers poised to be unleashed.
Zoro watched this scene with some curiosity. What was going on? Was there some internal strife?
Although he didn't know what had happened between them, that didn't stop him from enjoying the show.
Zoro slowly sheathed his sword, then watched with great interest...
Meanwhile, on a mountain peak next to the town.
A figure wearing a white coat and a white hat stood there, his gaze fixed on the town below, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Princess Vivi, how should you handle this situation?
"Yes, how should she deal with this situation?"
The sudden sound from the side made the figure's heart skip a beat, and he immediately took a few steps back, looking towards the direction from which the sound came.
Xia Chen looked at her calmly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Nico Robin, what are you doing here?
The figure, Robin, didn't immediately answer Xia Chen's question. Instead, he stared intently at him and said, word by word, " Demon King Xia Chen!"
"Oh, as expected of the Devil Child, you're one of the few people who recognizes me the moment they see me."
"A whole bunch of idiots wouldn't recognize me even if they saw me, making it inconvenient for me to show off!"
"So... can you answer my question now? What are you doing here?"
After a period of tension, Robin gradually regained her composure, knowing that being impatient was useless.
If this man really wanted to, she wouldn't have a chance to escape, but fortunately, it seems he has no interest in doing so.
"I just came here because I was a bit bored, so I thought I'd take a look around!"
Hearing Robin's words, Xia Chen didn't say anything, but looked at her with a deep gaze.
Xia Chen finally spoke calmly, "Okay!", just as Robin was starting to get impatient.
Huh?
Robin was a little confused; all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
No, you trust me that much? That's a bit overwhelming!
After thinking it over, Robin still felt it was all a bit unreal and couldn't help but ask, "Do you believe what I'm saying?"
"Why don't you believe me?" Xia Chen countered.
Xia Chen's answer completely baffled Robin. It's normal not to believe what a stranger pirate says, right?
However, she still couldn't figure out what Xia Chen was thinking, so she simply stopped worrying about it. After all, her life was in his hands now, so why think so much?
Thinking about this, Robin couldn't help but want to slap himself. Why did he have to get involved in this mess when he had nothing better to do? Now look what's happened, his life isn't even safe.
Although Robin was panicking, she forced herself to calm down and thought of a way to escape.
But just as she was about to make a move, an extremely strong aura pressed down on her, and instantly, her back was soaked with sweat.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? How about staying and watching a show with me?"
Can I say no?
"Not really!"
"Then why bother asking such a pointless question?"
"In that case, let's go watch the show somewhere else~ It's been going on for a while now~"
A few minutes later~
The two arrived on the roof of a house, and Xia Chen watched the battle not far away with great interest.
At this Luffy and Zoro were locked in a fierce battle, but unlike in the original Luffy Zoro, where their fight was evenly matched.
But Zoro has the upper hand now, and he has to thank Xia Chen for that.
If he hadn't been forced to fight Zoro every day, Zoro's strength would definitely not have reached its current level.
Thinking about this, Xia Chen stroked his chin and pondered whether he should find an opportunity to train these little brats, otherwise he couldn't stand seeing them so weak!
As he was still pondering, he seemed to see something, suddenly stood up, and then his figure vanished from the spot in an instant...
