Chapter 217 Hades

Five minutes later~

"Oh!"

A dull sound was heard, and a figure instantly flew backwards and fell heavily on the ground in the distance.

The next moment, a huge figure also appeared in front of this figure.

Xia Chen looked calmly at the red-haired man who was slowly getting up, and said, "Now... do you still think you can defeat me? Shanks!"

Xia Chen's tone was calm, but there was a hint of wonder in his eyes as he looked at Shanks.

In the past half quarter of an hour, he and Shanks had fought countless moves, and the result of the fight surprised him very much.

Shanks was the first person he had met so far who could match his Stone Monkey form in terms of attack power.

The previous Five Elders of Akainu had a hard time facing his attacks, but only Shanks seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

Of course, Shanks can only be compared with Xia Chen in terms of attack power. Overall, he is no match for Xia Chen, but this is also worth being surprised.

You should know that Xia Chen's form can easily deal with the navy and the world government, and it seems very easy.

However, he used his skills as a magic king at that time. If he had simply used close combat, he would definitely not be able to deal with them so easily.

Now Xia Chen and Shanks are engaged in close combat the whole time, and none of their other skills are used, so it only takes five minutes.

Shanks' attack power is indeed similar to that of his Stone Ape form, but the problem is that Xia Chen himself cannot break his own defense.

The defensive benefit of the stone ape form is even more exaggerated than its offensive power!

Excluding Im, Xia Chen can confidently say that his current form is undoubtedly the strongest shield in the world!

But he would not say that his attack is also the strongest spear! The theory of contradiction does not exist for him.

So with the attack power being the same but the defense power being several orders of magnitude lower, Shanks didn't last long in Xia Chen's hands.

After all, he can ignore most of Shanks' attacks, but Shanks can't!

How many times can Shanks perform an attack like Divine Evasion? Can he use it as a basic attack? Xia Chen doesn't believe it!

He is not Hawkeye. Shanks's Divine Repellence consumes his Conqueror's Haki, and Haki is something that will be consumed.

So as the battle lasted longer, Shanks slowly began to show his disadvantage.

Finally, after five minutes, Xia Chen caught a flaw in Shanks and punched him hard. Then the two of them were confronting each other.

Shanks forced himself to suppress the surging blood and looked at the figure in front of him with a serious look in his eyes.

He didn't expect Xia Chen to be so powerful. When Hawkeye talked about him a few months ago, he was just a boy with good strength and an interesting personality!

And now, several months have passed, and Xia Chen has grown to this level. The speed at which his strength is improving is so fast that it's even faster than riding a rocket!

Xia Chen said calmly: "Shanks, do you still think you have a chance to defeat me now?"

Shanks remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Shanks put the Griffin in his hand back into the sheath, and it seemed that he had no intention of continuing to fight with Xia Chen.

"Hmm? Looks like you've made a decision!"

Xia Chen was a little confused at this time. Logically speaking, Shanks was not a man who would give up his goal so easily.

Although he is no match for Xia Chen now, his injuries are not serious, so there is no reason for him not to fight.

And what Shanks said next made Xia Chen understand why he did that.

"Xia Chen, how about we make a deal?" Shanks said to Xia Chen.

"Hmm?" Xia Chen raised his eyebrows and continued, "What can you offer me to trade?"

"I'm telling you in advance, there aren't many things in this world that interest me. Do you... have any?"

"I believe you will want what I tell you!" Shanks said, his tone full of confidence.

"Oh? That's not necessarily true!"

Xia Chen disagreed. To be honest, he himself didn't know what could interest him right now.

However, he really wanted to see what Shanks' expression would be like if he was not interested in the things he took out, since he was so confident now.

"What I want to tell you is... news about a devil fruit!"

"Devil Fruit?"

Hearing this, Xia Chen's tone was full of disappointment. He thought Shanks could provide him with some shocking news, but he didn't expect it to be a devil fruit?

To be honest, he really has no interest in devil fruits. No matter how powerful the devil fruits in this world are, they cannot be as powerful as his.

The personalities are not even on the same level!

Just like the feat he has accomplished now, defeating the Navy and the World Government alone. All of this is due to his ability!

Otherwise, with his current configuration, he would be at most at the same level as Aokiji. How could he be beaten like a baby like now?

So he really had no idea about the information about the devil fruit that Shanks told him!

Didn’t you see that he just got the fruit of Saint Satan not long ago?

If we kill the remaining five elders and Akainu, we will get five top-level fruits. Isn't that more profitable?

Even Xia Chen felt that there were too many fruits. Right now, on their ship, only Zoro and Sanji had not eaten the devil fruits, and it looked like they had no intention of eating them either.

Therefore, even if he is given more devil fruits, they will just gather dust in the system space and will be completely useless!

Thinking of this, Xia Chen looked at Shanks and said calmly: "If that's what you're talking about, then there's no need to talk about it. I'm not interested in devil fruits!"

"you sure?"

"Of course I..."

"Hades, the god of the underworld!"

Shanks interrupted Xia Chen before he could finish his words, and at the same time said a name that Xia Chen was very familiar with.

Xia Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "What did you say!"

"Human-Human Fruit: Hades Form!"

"From your reaction, it seems you have heard of this name. So, are you interested?"

Xia Chen remained silent and didn't say anything because he was a little embarrassed now!

Just now he swore that he was not interested in devil fruits, but now...

Well, he admitted that he had missed it! This fruit was indeed the only devil fruit that could interest him. He had never thought that the information about devil fruits that Red Hair knew was about this fruit.

The fruit that Rocks possesses is in his mouth!

Xia Chen did not answer the red-haired man immediately, but asked: "How much do you know about this fruit?"

"I don't know much, the only thing I know for sure is that it is a fruit with the name of God, and I only have a vague understanding of the rest!"

Xia Chen: ???

Red hair:???

"You know nothing about it, but you still want to tell me. What are you standing there for?"

Redhead: . . . .
