Pirates: I become stronger by checking in on the plot island

"What is this?"

Whitebeard looked at the khaki light circle in front of him with some doubt.

"This is one of my defensive methods!"

A faint voice came from the front, and then a figure slowly walked out of the smoke and dust.

The moment he saw the figure clearly, Whitebeard's pupils shrank slightly, and his face was full of shock.

It was just that Xia Chen did not have any injuries at this time, at most the corners of his clothes were a little messy, and the rest did not even show that he had experienced a high-intensity battle.

Xia Chen looked at Whitebeard and said: "The attack just now has exhausted the last bit of strength in your body. If I don't help you block the aftermath of the impact..."

At this point, Xia Chen showed a playful smile on his face and said with a smile:

"Maybe you are the first of the Four Emperors to be killed by the aftermath of the fight, it will be funny then!"

Whitebeard: . . . .

What Xia Chen said was indeed correct. After Whitebeard had just delivered that devastating blow, it was as if all his strength had been drained out. Not to mention, he really couldn't withstand the aftermath of their fight.

But what Whitebeard was more curious about now was...

"What is your current strength?" Whitebeard asked, staring at Xia Chen intently.

That attack just now was definitely the strongest attack in his life, even stronger than his heyday.

But even such an attack was blocked by Xia Chen in an extremely relaxed manner, which made Whitebeard a little frustrated.

But thinking that Xia Chen could kill through the Navy Headquarters half a year ago, let alone him half a year later!

With Xia Chen's abnormal speed of becoming stronger, he must be much stronger than half a year ago!

Xia Chen is the strongest person Whitebeard has ever seen, no one else, so now the only thing Whitebeard wants to know is what level of strength Xia Chen has reached now.

Hearing this, Xia Chen was silent for a while, and then he said: "I don't know how strong I am now, but one thing is certain..."

"Even if all of you four emperors are in their prime, I can beat you four as easily as beating my great-grandsons. Do you have an idea of ​​what I mean?"

After the voice fell, Whitebeard's pupils contracted violently, and he said after a long while:

"I understand! With such strength, there should be nothing in the world that can limit you, including the World Government!"

"That's not necessarily true. There is an old guy who has lived for 800 years hidden in the World Government! That guy's strength should not be underestimated!" Xia Chen replied lightly.

"Huh? There are such people in the World Government? I have never heard of it!" Whitebeard showed a surprised expression on his face.

"It's normal that you haven't heard it. He usually doesn't care about what happens in the world. To him, everything you do is just a small matter in his eyes, and he has no interest in caring about you at all!"

"Is that so!" Whitebeard murmured in a low voice, his eyes showing a thoughtful look, but then became extremely clear.

"Gulala, it seems that there are still many things I don't understand about this world!"

"The sea is really vast. Even if I spend my whole life, I can't understand its full picture. It's really a bit sad!"

"But no matter how much I'm reluctant, my role should come to an end now. In the new era... there is no ship that can carry me!"

Every time Whitebeard said a word, his momentum would decrease by one point. By the time he finished the last sentence, his breath was so weak that it was barely audible.

Whitebeard looked up at the sky, his eyes scattered, as if he was recalling something, and after a while he whispered:

"Blue sky, white clouds, sea! What a beautiful world, what a... wonderful journey..."

As Whitebeard's last word fell, his breath completely fell silent.

So far, the man who left countless legends on this sea and was once known as the strongest man in the world has finally come to the end of his life.

Xia Chen looked at Whitebeard, who had lost his breath of life in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little melancholy, and then...

A familiar fruit basket appeared next to Whitebeard.

Not long after, a fruit in the basket changed.

Xia Chen walked up, picked it up, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, known as the world's strongest superhuman system - Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Although he respected Whitebeard, Xia Chen would not let such a powerful fruit be reborn somewhere in the world.

Just think of it as his reward for coming all the way here to fight Whitebeard this time!

After playing with it for a while again, Xia Chen threw it into the system space and saved it for later use.Now, he has already had top-level fruits in his hand...

!!!

As if he had seen something, Xia Chen's pupils shrank slightly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He didn't know how long it had been since his mood fluctuated so much, and now this situation occurred, all because...

Xia Chen's mind moved, and seven fruits appeared in front of him.

One of them was red all over, and its appearance seemed to be flowing magma. It was Akainu's magma fruit, and the other was the freshly baked Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

There was nothing wrong with these two fruits, but the problem was...

The other five fruits!!

These five fruits were full in appearance and bright in color, which made people very appetizing at first glance, but the problem was here!

At this time, these five fruits were no longer in the form of devil fruits, but ordinary fruits!

At that time, Xia Chen got a total of six fruits in the war on the top, Akainu's magma fruit and the five mythical beasts of the Five Elders!

Now there is nothing wrong with the magma fruit, but the other five fruits have all turned back into ordinary fruits.

Xia Chen would never believe that this has nothing to do with Im, but...

How did Im do this?

And if nothing unexpected happens, these five fruits should have turned back into ordinary fruits a long time ago, but Xia Chen has never seen them since he put them in to collect dust.

That's why he never noticed their changes!

"Hmm..."

Xia Chen touched his chin and pondered. He thought for a long time but didn't come to a conclusion, but he could verify a possibility.

If his guess is correct, it proves that Im definitely has the secret of the devil fruit.

But this guess has to be verified later. Now...

Xia Chen turned his head and looked at a large group of people rushing towards this location not far away!
