Chapter 397 Xia Chen vs Newgate
"Hey! Hurry up and get to the west square!"
"Brother Newgate is going to fight the new Captain Summerson there!"
On Beehive Island, countless pirates flocked to the west side of the island.
It was because their new captain, who had just arrived yesterday, wanted to duel with Newgate, the old cadre on their ship, in the west square.
This showdown between the new and the old is bound to be extremely eye-catching.
Moreover, most of them were stunned by Xia Chen's domineering aura yesterday. After waking up, they heard that there was an inexplicable extra captain on their ship.
He has the same status as Captain Rocks in the pirate group!
Yesterday, he even severely injured the ship's cadre, Lord Shi Ji, with one move. All of this made these people curious about Xia Chen.
But unfortunately, they have not met Captain Xia Chen until now.
Since they all fainted yesterday, the welcome party naturally didn't take place.
Therefore, everyone is naturally paying close attention to the duel between the two.
It's not just that I want to meet the new captain, but more importantly, I want to see the new captain's strength.
After all, words are not enough, and the news heard from others is never as shocking as what they see with their own eyes.
At this time, in the west square.
The place was tightly surrounded by pirates in circles inside and outside.
And there are countless pirates rushing towards this side, but those who come later can only stay at the outermost edge.
Not only ordinary pirates came to watch the battle, but also captains and officers were all present, and Captain Rocks was no exception.
All came here.
Although they saw the whole process of Xia Chen seriously injuring the Golden Lion yesterday, it ended too quickly and they still had no idea of Xia Chen's strength.
Today's sparring battle with Whitebeard should allow them to understand Xia Chen better.
At this time, in the square, Xia Chen and White Beard stood opposite each other.
The difference is that White Beard has a serious expression on his face, while Xia Chen looks relaxed.
Xia Chen looked at the pirates around him.
The news of his duel with Whitebeard was spread by Golden Lion, and he did not object.
Because he also wanted to take this opportunity to establish his own prestige in the Rocks Pirates!
After all, if he, the new captain who was parachuted in, doesn't show some strength, how can he convince his crew members?
"Xia Chen! I wanted to fight you yesterday, but the situation was not right at that time! Now I finally have this opportunity!"
"Let me see how strong a man with such a strong domineering Haki is!"
"You'll know soon!" Xia Chen said with a faint smile.
Whitebeard's eyes flickered, and he clenched the Kusukumokiri with both hands and raised it high.
Then a white ball appeared on the tip of Cong Yunqie's knife, and then it chopped down fiercely at Xia Chen.
The white ball rushed towards Xia Chen at a high speed with unparalleled power.
The ordinary pirates present only felt their bodies sink, and a sense of oppression descended upon them.
But in response to such an attack, Xia Chen only raised one hand slightly, and the armed color domineering quickly wrapped around it, flashing with a dark luster.
Under the extremely horrified gazes of the crowd, Xia Chen grabbed the white ball cover that Whitebeard was attacking with one hand.
Then he just pinched it lightly, and the white ball cover turned into mist and dissipated between heaven and earth.
"!!!"
(＃°Д°)!
"How can this be?"
A pirate in the crowd screamed in disbelief.
He was one of the captains under Whitebeard and had experienced many battles, big and small, with Whitebeard.
He has a very good understanding of Whitebeard's strength.
He had seen Whitebeard throwing out the white ball many times, the most recent one being in the recent battle with the navy.
At that time, Whitebeard used this move against a lieutenant general. The lieutenant general had to work very hard to block it and suffered serious injuries.
If someone had told him before that someone could easily crush Whitebeard's white ball cover with bare hands, he would definitely smile slightly and then give that person a caring and mentally retarded look.
Because such a thing is impossible to happen, I knew it was fake as soon as I heard the news.
but now……
Well! He is the one who is looking at the world from a narrow perspective!
Not only the pirates were horrified, the cadres and Rocks were also quite surprised.
Looking at the armed color domineering wrapped around Xia Chen's hands, Rocks' eyes flickered.
Xia Chen's Armament Haki is even stronger than his! Then will his Observation Haki also be...
Rocks didn't think any further, but looked at the two people on the field seriously, or rather, he was looking at Xia Chen.
If it was really as he thought, then the young man in front of him would be too scary!
On the court, Xia Chen smiled after easily crushing Whitebeard's white ball cover, and said lightly:
"Newgate, these probing attacks are unnecessary. They can't possibly pose a threat to me!"
"Show some real strength!"
"Xia Chen! It seems that you are really strong! In that case, I don't have to worry about hurting you!" White Beard said to Xia Chen.
"Ha! If you can hurt me, I'll give you this!"
Xia Chen gave White Beard a thumbs up.
Are you kidding? Not to mention that Whitebeard is not at his peak yet, even if Whitebeard is at his peak now, Xia Chen would still be confident to say this.
"It seems like I've really been looked down upon! Gulala!"
"In that case, take my knife!"
Whitebeard rushed towards Xia Chen at an extremely fast speed, and the Kusukimi Sword in his hand immediately turned black, with black and red lightning flashing on it.
Looking at this scene, Xia Chen finally became interested.
"A sword wrapped in Armament Haki and Domination Haki? That's interesting!"
Xia Chen reached his hand to his ear and pulled out a golden stick.
This novel way of taking out weapons stunned everyone, but they were immediately attracted by the action of fighting with both hands.
Looking at Cong Yunqie who was chopping down towards him, Xia Chen immediately swung the golden cudgel in his hand to meet him.
"boom!"
An extremely powerful aftermath spread out in all directions, with black and red lightning flashing all around.
Countless pirates standing in the front row were blown away by the aftermath.
The ground also made a crackling sound.
At a certain moment, the ground suddenly shattered, cracks spread out in all directions, and gravel flew everywhere.
"Pirates who are not strong enough, retreat! Otherwise, you won't be able to save others when you die!"
The golden lion shouted to the surroundings.
As soon as he said this, countless pirates ran back, and only some pirates who thought they were strong enough stayed where they were.
The scene suddenly became empty.
At this moment in the center of the battlefield, the two men's weapons did not collide with each other, but formed a hole in the middle.
Xia Chen suddenly smiled.
"Newgate, your sword... isn't very powerful! Don't you have any stronger moves?"
After saying that, Xia Chen's eyes focused, and he suddenly increased the strength in his hands, instantly blasting White Beard away.
