An incredibly powerful energy attack erupted from the point where the two rods met, hurtling towards the distant Goldfish King with immense force.
In the blink of an eye, it suddenly appeared in front of the Goldfish King.
"Pfft!"
The sound of flesh tearing apart rang out, and in an instant, the central part of the Goldfish King's body was pierced through, and large chunks of flesh vanished.
Moreover, Hakai's momentum did not diminish, leaving an endless trail on the sea surface. The surrounding seawater became turbulent due to this move, stirring up one huge wave after another.
"Wow, that's pretty powerful!"
Xia Chen clicked his tongue as he looked at the scene created by the Hakai.
Although his current strength is far inferior to that of Big Mom and Kaido, the power of his Hakai is already considerable, and it is currently his strongest attack method.
However, as he looked around, Xia Chen suddenly noticed a problem.
"My goldfish meat!!!"
Xia Chen immediately rode his Flying Nimbus to the side of the Goldfish King. Countless slashes were unleashed from beneath his feet, continuously cutting the Goldfish King in half. After collecting a large portion of the flesh into his System Space, Xia Chen kicked the remaining Goldfish King's body onto the shore.
Since most of the flesh was destroyed by Hakai, only a small portion remained. Xia Chen then cut off most of this small portion, leaving the remaining Goldfish King much smaller than before.
Even so, it still occupied a large area when it flew over the island.
Xia Chen returned to the shore and said to Dorry and Brogy, "Uncle Giant, this is for you. Let you taste the Goldfish King!"
But at this moment, Dorry and Brogy were slightly stunned, and after a long while, they asked, "What was that move you just made...?"
"Oh, my move is called 'Hakai,' it's also a combined attack technique!"
"I never imagined there was a combined attack technique even more powerful than our Hakikisha's! The Hakikisha's attack we unleashed was far less powerful than your Hakai attack. We used to think our Hakikisha was the strongest, but it seems we were really too optimistic!"
Brogy exclaimed.
Xia Chen really wanted to say that it wasn't that their Hakikisha was weak, but simply that their strength was lacking, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. He couldn't be like that.
" Xia Chen, can you tell me now why you can turn into two?" Luffy ran over again and asked Xia Chen excitedly.
Compared to the powerful Hakai, he was more interested in this method that could transform into two people, and the others were the same, all looking at him with curiosity.
"Oh, that? Your Devil Fruit ability has made a slight breakthrough!" Xia Chen replied casually.
Although the ability to create Clone wasn't a result of his Devil Fruit powers, he had no other explanation. He couldn't very well say it was given to him by the system, could he?
Anyway, his Devil Fruit definitely isn't listed in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, so what abilities he has is entirely up to him.
He said it's a Devil Fruit ability, so it must be a Devil Fruit ability!
Hearing this, Luffy immediately felt resentful and pouted, saying, "Why is your Devil Fruit so powerful, and mine so weak?"
"Your fruit can not only hold things, but also change shape, create clouds, and now it can even Clone. Who knows what else it will have in the future? In contrast, my fruit only has the ability to stretch... hmm..."
Luffy's jealous tone was practically overflowing the screen. It's quite something that someone with such a mediocre memory could remember so many of Xia Chen's abilities!
"There's nothing I can do about it. My fruit is a noble Mythical Zoan," Xia Chen said, shrugging and putting on airs.
"Phantom beast species? What type of fruit is this? You didn't seem to mention this when you told us last time, right?" Nami asked doubtfully.
" Mythical Zoan belong to the Zoan, but they are much stronger than ordinary Zoan. Each Mythical Zoan has incredible abilities; in short, they are extremely powerful!"
"Huh? Why isn't mine Mythical Zoan?" Luffy was a little disappointed. An incredible ability... this sounds really interesting, doesn't it?
Hearing this, Xia Chen glanced at him indifferently, then said, "Actually..."
"Hiss!"
Just then, Nami's exclamation drew Xia Chen's attention. He didn't continue speaking but instantly appeared in front of Nami and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it just stung a little!" Nami's face was a little pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Xia Chen placed his hand on Nami's forehead, his expression darkening slightly.
"I can already feel a slight fever. It seems we can't delay any longer; we need to set off immediately!"
He hadn't expected Kestia's illness to develop so quickly; if he had known, he might not have gone to kill the Goldfish King.
Although the disease is said to cause death after five days, those who contract it will suffer greatly during those five days, experiencing extreme physical discomfort.
Xia Chen said to the crowd, "Wait here for me!"
After saying that, Xia Chen rode his Flying Nimbus to where the Going Merry was. He jumped onto the Going Merry and said:
" Flying Nimbus, grow bigger!"
After saying that, the Flying Nimbus began to slowly grow larger, until it became slightly larger than the Going Merry before stopping.
He only discovered the Flying Nimbus's ability to grow larger when he arrived at the Little Garden. At that time, his strength had clearly increased significantly after acquiring Armament Haki, and then he wondered if the Flying Nimbus could actually grow larger?
He then tried it out and found that the Flying Nimbus could indeed grow larger, and the extent of the growth was linked to his strength; the stronger he was, the larger the Flying Nimbus could become!
Actually, his strength had improved slightly during his previous training, but the improvement was so small that he didn't notice the changes in the Flying Nimbus.
With his current strength, the Flying Nimbus can probably grow to about ten times the size of the Going Merry. But what if he becomes even stronger in the future?
He'll build a floating island someday; that would be incredibly cool!
Xia Chen controlled his Flying Nimbus to arrive beneath the Going Merry, lifting the entire Going Merry up, and then instantly appeared before Luffy and his crew.
"Um?"
A sudden gust of wind startled everyone, and they couldn't help but turn to look.
‼ (•╻•)꒳ᵒ꒳ᵎᵎᵎ
The crowd gasped in amazement once more, but this time Xia Chen simply gave a brief explanation before letting them all board the ship.
This time, because of the urgency of the situation, Nami's illness would cause her more pain every second it was delayed, so Xia Chen decided to take a shortcut. If there was no urgent matter, it would be better to sail slowly at sea, otherwise there would be no experience!
The Pirate King is about to become the Sky Pirate King!
After everyone boarded the ship, the group briefly said goodbye to Dorry and the others, and then Xia Chen controlled the Flying Nimbus to fly rapidly towards Drum Island...
