Chapter 40 You Are a Little Courageous

Above a forest outside the town of Rogge, a streak of white smoke was rushing towards a certain direction at an extremely fast speed.

The expression on Smoker's face was very solemn. Just half an hour ago, he was still searching for the Straw Hat Pirates in Rogue Town.

Suddenly, I felt a huge battle wave coming from outside the town.

Without any hesitation, he rushed to the source of the battle fluctuations.

This place was almost approaching the edge of the island and was some distance away from Rogue Town, so even if he traveled for half an hour, he still hadn't arrived.

Moreover, the fluctuations of the battle had stopped a few minutes ago, and he didn't know whether he would be able to see anyone fighting after he got there.

and……

Judging from the fluctuations just transmitted, he is definitely no match for the people fighting.

But he still came here without hesitation. Rogue Town was the territory under his jurisdiction, and he wanted to make sure that no problems would arise.

If you want to destroy this place, you must step over his body first!

……

At this time, in the center of the battlefield, two people stood here quietly.

Long looked at Xia Chen in front of him with surprise, and he understood why Xia Chen was so confident in himself.

If he had this ability at Xia Chen's age, he would be more arrogant than Xia Chen!

Thinking of this, Long Moming had the intention to recruit Xia Chen, and could not help but ask Xia Chen:

"Are you interested in joining the revolutionary army?"

"Join the revolutionary army?" Xia Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that Long would actually want him to join the revolutionary army, but... he was not interested!

"Forget it, I still prefer being a pirate!"

“It’s so nice to be free!”

"Okay, my goal has been achieved, I'll go back first! Bye~"

After saying that, Xia Chen turned and walked towards Rogue Town.

At this time, Smoker also hurried here and ran into Xia Chen who was about to leave.

"Hey, Admiral, I didn't expect to meet you in such a remote place. What a fate~"

Xia Chen greeted Smoker.

But Smoker seemed not to have heard his words at this time, and looked at the scene with horror on his face.

All he saw before him was a piece of land that had been destroyed beyond recognition, and the surrounding trees had all turned into sawdust, forming a hollow area several miles in radius in the forest.

Xia Chen looked at him like this and did not disturb him. Instead, he walked slowly past him. When he was about to use the Moon Cloth to rush back to Rogue Town, Smoker stopped him again as before.

"Demon King Xia Chen!"

The same words came out of Smoker's mouth, but the difference from the first time they met was that this time his tone was no longer full of questioning, but full of affirmation.

"It's me!" This time, Xia Chen did not deny his identity like before, but admitted it openly.

He no longer had any reason to pretend; his goal had been achieved, so he was no longer afraid of trouble.

"How dare you lie to me? I'm going to take you to Impel Down!"

After saying that, Smoker rushed towards Xia Chen and pulled out the ten hands on his back.

In his opinion, since Xia Chen now looks different from the one on the wanted poster, it must be because he ate the devil fruit.

The weapon inlaid with seastone in his hand is the nemesis of the devil fruit ability users!

Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel!

He misjudged one thing. The gap in strength between him and Xia Chen was too huge!

Xia Chen didn't even turn around, but just slightly moved to the side to avoid Smoker's attack.

"How...how is it possible?"

Smoker was shocked, a drop of cold sweat dripped down his face. Then Xia Chen's faint voice came to his ears.

"Admiral, you are quite brave!"

"Do you think my 300 million bounty is inflated? Or... are you too confident in your natural abilities?"

"Oh!"

Smoker flew backwards at a speed countless times faster than his attack, and then fell heavily to the ground several hundred meters away.

"Pfft!"

Smoker couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood as he struggled to get up. He looked at Xia Chen with solemn eyes.

"Mr. Navy, your strength is a little weak. You want to catch me? It's still a hundred thousand years too early!"

After saying that, Xia Chen continued to walk outside. Suddenly, after walking a few steps, he stopped and waved towards Smoker.

"By the way, thank you Berry!"

(╬▔皿▔)╯!

Deceiving too much!

Smoker struggled to get up from the ground. Even if he couldn't beat Xia Chen, he would go find him!

But at this moment, a hand held down his body as he was about to get up.

"You can't beat him!"

Smoker slowly raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, horror in his eyes.

Just now his attention was focused on Xia Chen, and he didn't notice the identity of the other person here at all.

"dragon!!!"

……

When Xia Chen returned to Rogue Town, he just happened to see a huge bolt of lightning striking down from the sky.

“Hahaha… I can’t die!”

Luffy said happily after patting his straw hat.

At the same time, heavy rain began to fall from the sky, accompanied by gusts of wind.

Seeing this scene, Xia Chen said directly to Luffy:

"Let's go, Luffy. The navy has already taken action. It will be too late if we don't leave now!"

"Oh, it's Xia Chen, why are you here?"

Luffy said happily when he heard someone calling him and found out it was Natsume.

Hearing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but hold his forehead.

No wonder the Straw Hat Pirates in the original work always have to escape at the critical moment. The way you chat like this is just to make the navy find you, right?

"Don't worry about why I'm here. Now I say something and you listen to me, okay?"

"The navy is here, so run away, understand?"

"Oh oh oh, I understand!" Luffy nodded.

"Then why are you still standing there? Run!" Xia Chen said unhappily as he looked at Luffy who was standing still.

"okay!"

Luffy ran out immediately, but...

"Straw Hat Boy, stop right there!" Buggy's voice came from behind.

But what Xia Chen didn't expect was that Luffy actually stopped.

After seeing this scene, Xia Chen couldn't help himself anymore. Damn it, you like to waste time so much, huh?

Xia Chen looked at the direction and found that there was a long alley at this location that could lead directly to the outside of the town. Then a smile appeared on Xia Chen's mouth.

He used the razor to instantly appear next to Luffy, looked at Luffy and sneered:

"Since you don't want to go by yourself, let me help you!"

Then after aiming in the right direction, Xia Chen kicked Luffy out.

In an instant, Luffy flew out of the town at an extremely fast speed.

Xia Chen, standing in place, clapped his hands and smiled.

"Isn't this much faster? It really is!"
