Brogy's axe swung towards Xia Chen at an incredibly fast speed.
Seeing this, Xia Chen also gave up attacking Dorry, used Geppo to dodge the slash, and then swung his staff at Brogy.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out as the two men's weapons collided in mid-air.
But in an instant, Brogy's face showed a look of horror.
"How can this power be so strong?"
The force transmitted from Xia Chen's small stick was at least several times that of the force he exerted when fighting Dorry, so it only lasted for about a second before Brogy, along with his axe, was sent flying and landed hundreds of meters away.
" Brogy!"
Dorry shouted.
"Uncle Dorry, you can't get distracted during the fight!"
Xia Chen's voice came from behind Dorry, instantly sending a cold sweat through his body.
"When?"
Dorry turned around quickly, and what came into his view was a thin stick. His pupils contracted sharply. He hurriedly moved the shield in front of him.
"Bang!"
Another powerful voice rang out, and Dorry, like Brogy, had received the same flight package.
Xia Chen stood in the air, quietly watching them.
At this moment, Xia Chen's demonic appearance and the sight of the two giants struggling to get up caused a great shock to everyone.
"Is this... Mr. Xia Chen's power?" Vivi asked blankly.
"This is also... the first time I've ever seen Xia Chen fight like this!"
Luffy beside him, was also Earth Shaker, saying that at that moment, he deeply felt the gap between himself and Xia Chen.
The strength Xia Chen is displaying now is incomparable to what he usually does when fighting them; they are on completely different levels.
It seems that Xia Chen is always releasing seaweed!
At this time, in another place not far from Xia Chen.
"M... Mr. 3, are we sure we want to... go and cause trouble for these people?"
A girl who looked like a little girl spoke in terror to the sleazy man next to her with a "3" shaped hairstyle.
"This..."
Miss Goldenweek, what do you... what do you think?
"I think we should make a strategic retreat first?"
"Hmm..." Mr. 3 pondered for a moment, then said with great agreement:
I think you're right!
At this moment, Mr. 3 only wanted to escape this place; he completely forgot about his boss's orders.
Although disobeying orders would certainly mean his death, as long as he doesn't go back, the ocean is so vast, surely there's somewhere he can find refuge?
That would greatly reduce his chances of dying, but if he were to go up and cause trouble for Xia Chen now, he was certain he would die!
Even a fool should know which of these two options to choose, right?
Then the two of them tiptoed out of the forest.
Hey, you two!
"Huh? I'm not Mr. 3, I don't know anything about Baroque Works, and I don't know Crocodile at all!"
The sudden sound startled Mr. 3 so much that he couldn't even speak.
Zoro, Sanji:???
They hadn't said anything yet. The two of them had initially wanted to ask what the suspicious people were up to when they saw them acting so suspiciously.
But now it seems there's no need to ask.
Baroque Works, Crocodile, and this guy's "Mr. 3," combined with his "3" hairstyle, isn't this just admitting it?
They're not as stupid as Luffy; they have brains, okay?
Sanji's gaze turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, " Baroque Works? Here to hunt down Vivi again?"
"You guys are really persistent!" Zoro said from the side, then slowly drew his sword from his waist.
"No, we're not..." Mr. 3 hurriedly waved his hands, trying to explain, but it was clear that Zoro and Sanji wouldn't give him the chance, and they both rushed towards him.
Damn it!
Mr. 3 cursed under his breath, then looked at Zoro and the others with a chilling gaze.
"You forced me to do this!"
He certainly didn't dare to provoke Xia Chen, after all, there was a 300 million bounty on him, but you two, who didn't even have a penny of bounty, dared to cause him trouble?
Just because a tiger doesn't show its power doesn't mean it's a pushover.
At that moment, a new idea popped into Mr. 3's mind: he would kidnap these two people!
That way, even if something goes wrong, he can escape using these two hostages.
With that thought, Mr. 3 turned his hand into wax and waved it, sending two large balls of wax flying towards Zoro and Sanji, one ball for each of them.
But Zoro and Sanji are not the same as before; they haven't been playing around these past few days.
They couldn't help but feel a lingering fear whenever they recalled that battle, but it was also true that their strength improved rapidly.
At least from their current perspective, Mr. 3's attacks were much slower than when Xia Chen attacked them.
Both of them dodged the incoming wax with a slight shift of their bodies.
"How... how is this possible?" Mr. 3 exclaimed in shock.
His move is incredibly fast; in past battles, it has always been effective in ambushing enemies and easily immobilizing them.
But how come these two can dodge his moves so easily? He's not Sister Li!
However, he didn't have much time to think about it at that moment, because Zoro and Sanji had already attacked him.
" Candle Wall!"
He instinctively melted the wax in his hand into a wall to block his way.
Then, standing behind the wall, he confidently declared, "The hardness of my Candle Wall is extremely high; you could absolutely not..."
Before Mr. 3 could finish speaking, his smile froze on his face.
He noticed that the Candle Wall, which he had just thought was very solid, was now beginning to crack on both sides, and the cracks were getting bigger and bigger.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, what came into his view were three knives and a foot!
"Puff!"
After Zoro slashed him with three swords, Sanji kicked him as well.
Mr. 3 was kicked dozens of meters away by the powerful force, blood splattering from the knife wound on his chest, before he fell to the ground motionless.
Mr. 3, defeated!
Then Zoro looked at Miss Goldenweek with a cold gaze.
Upon seeing Zoro's ferocious face, Miss Goldenweek tilted her head and fainted.
"Hey, Zoro, how can you scare even little girls? That's inhuman!"
"She fainted on her own, what does it have to do with me?"
Zoro shrugged, then sheathed his sword and stood up, saying to Sanji, "Don't you think these enemies are a bit weak?"
Sanji said as he walked forward, "Could it be that we've become too strong now?"
"Um..."
"Is it possible that the main reason you kicked him was because I seriously injured him, and that your kick actually had no power at all?"
"Huh? What are you talking about, you idiot! It was clearly my kick that caused the serious injury!"
"I chopped it down!"
"I kicked it!"
