Chapter 37: Fighting Carrog Town
The redhead asked again uncertainly.
Seeing the red-haired boy's expression, Hawkeye was also confused. You don't recognize your own nephew? Could it be...
After some time~
Red Hair and Hawkeye sat together, occasionally taking a sip or two of the wine beside them, but the two of them tacitly did not speak.
Another ten seconds passed like this.
"Hahaha...this kid, I didn't even know I had such a nephew, quite interesting!"
"And the first bounty was 300 million. Did he do something earth-shattering?"
"This makes me want to go meet my nephew!"
Hawkeye next to him said in a displeased tone:
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should have contributed part of his bounty!"
"I fought him once at sea, and he convinced me to fight him because he said he was your nephew!"
"I guess the battle between him and I was discovered somehow, so his bounty is so high."
"But his strength is definitely worth the bounty!"
"Huh?" Hearing Hawkeye's words, Red Hair looked at him with some surprise.
"I rarely hear you recognize a young person so much!"
Hawkeye took another sip of wine and said calmly:
"Although I am a little angry that this guy cheated me, to be honest, his personality is quite suitable for me, and his strength is basically unmatched at his age."
"But no matter what, he lied to me this time. I guess I'll have to have a good 'communication' with him next time I see him!"
"Hahaha... Hawkeye, don't be so stingy. I accept this nephew, so he is not lying to you."
Hawkeye: . . . .
Don't you know that in certain cases ex post facto promises are useless?
The red-haired girl smiled faintly and looked into the distance.
Why do I want to meet this "nephew"?
……
East China Sea, on the Merry~
"Oh, is Rogue Town right ahead? I really want to go and see the place where the Pirate King was born and died!" Luffy hugged the goat head of the Merry with one hand and made a gazing gesture with the other hand.
On the more spacious deck on the other side of the ship, the sound of metal clashing could be heard constantly.
At this time, Zoro was holding the Wado Ichimonji and slashing it fiercely forward.
The whirring sound of breaking through the air symbolized the power of the sword, but at this moment, this seemingly powerful blow was clamped by two black fingers and could not move.
Xia Chen held Zoro's knife between two fingers and slapped his mouth with his other hand, making an expression of boredom and wanting to sleep.
It's full of sarcasm!
"Did you see that? This is the difference between no bounty and a bounty of 300 million. The difference is unimaginable to a third-rate swordsman like you!"
Xia Chen said calmly.
But at this moment, he looked at Sauron with a little helplessness.
For some reason, ever since he saw the 300 million bounty on Xia Chen a few days ago, he felt ashamed that he didn't have any bounty at all.
During this period, he came to challenge Xia Chen every day.
At the beginning, Xia Chen was quite interested in playing with Zoro, but the gap between Zoro's current strength and his was indeed quite big.
So after playing for a few times, Xia Chen lost interest and just knocked Zoro down.
But this guy Zoro seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. He kept challenging Xia Chen, even if Xia Chen did not agree to him.
He attacked Xia Chen directly, regardless of whether Xia Chen agreed or not.
This made Xia Chen very angry. He thought that he was relying on the fact that he wouldn't kill her, right?
Later, when Xia Chen was really annoyed, he actually hit him a little too hard, but Zoro was still the same. As long as his health got a little better, he would look for Xia Chen to fight.
Now for Xia Chen, fighting with Sauron every day has become his daily task.
But to be honest, Zoro's current strength is indeed a little stronger than when he first challenged him.
Although it is still a serious matter for him, the growth is indeed real!
So now Xia Chen has figured it out. In order to help Zoro improve his strength, he will reluctantly serve as his sparring partner.
Who makes him a deputy captain who cares about the crew?
Xia Chen flicked away Zoro's knife and said to him:
"The speed is good, but the power is too poor!"
"So...how is your understanding of the Iron-Slashing Realm now?"
"Almost there, I always feel so close, but just missing a tiny opportunity!"
"Is that so~" Xia Chen touched his chin. Thanks to his existence, Zoro reached the realm of iron-cutting some time earlier than in the original work.
However, this thing can only be comprehended by Zoro himself. When it comes to kendo, he is completely clueless!
His only role might be to be Zoro's sparring partner.
"Hey, we're in Rogue Town!"
Sanji's voice came from the bow, attracting Xia Chen's attention.
"Are we finally here?" Xia Chen smiled. He was still very interested in Rogue Town.
Of course, it's not because this is where the Pirate King was born and died, he is not interested in this.
What really interested him was someone in Rogue Town at this point in time!
Of course, another very important thing is that you can check in on a new island. I wonder what good things you can get this time~
After some time~
[Ding, the attack on Kalog Town was successful, and the observation Haki was upgraded to intermediate level! ]
As the system voice fell, Xia Chen suddenly felt a sense of clarity in his mind.
When the feeling dissipated, Xia Chen unconsciously exuded his own observation Haki.
After feeling it carefully, Xia Chen smiled happily.
Although the improvement of his observation Haki did not greatly improve his strength.
But his perception range and perception ability have been enhanced. This is still very good!
It was just convenient for what he was going to do next.
Rogue Town is the last island opened in the East China Sea. The next time you check in to an island, it will only be on the Grand Line.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen couldn't help but open his system panel to see how much stronger he is now compared to the beginning.
