Chapter 48: Mr. Xia, a Knowledgeable Man
"Mr. 1!"
Before Xia Chen could finish his words, he heard a sound coming from the Merry and turned his gaze over.
He saw that Mr. 9 and Weiwei had woken up and were calling and waving at him.
"Excuse me, wait a moment!"
After saying that, the Conqueror's Haki burst out of his body again and rushed towards the two people on the Merry. Then the two fell down again like before.
Unfortunately, they both fell into coma again not long after waking up.
"You...you use your domineering aura so casually!" Crocus was a little embarrassed.
Why does it feel like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?
"There's no other way. This is the most time-saving and labor-saving way!" Xia Chen spread his hands.
"Okay, let's continue with the topic!"
"The Rumba Pirates were all buried in a certain sea area, so they didn't come back, not because they broke the agreement!"
"I don't know where you got this information, old man, but it's wrong!"
"Is that so..." Kurokas did not doubt the truthfulness of what Xia Chen said.
Judging from what Xia Chen has shown during this period, he knows much more than he thinks he knows.
So since Xia Chen said it was wrong, it was no surprise that he did get wrong information.
"By the way, old man, do you still remember Brooke?"
"Of course, our relationship was pretty good at that time!"
"He is not dead!"
"What!!"
"Are you telling the truth?" Kurokas stood up excitedly.
"It is indeed true, but his current situation is a bit complicated. You can say he is dead, but you can also say he is alive!"
?_? ? ?
How do you describe this?
Kurokas was completely stunned.
Dead and alive? So abstract?
Kurokas didn't understand what Xia Chen said, and the people behind him didn't understand even more.
Not to mention now, even when Xia Chen talked about the Rumba Pirates before, they were a bit out of touch.
At the same time, the same thought came to my mind: Why do you know so much when you are in the same boat?
However, adhering to the principle of not interrupting if you don't know, they all just watched quietly in the back.
Xia Chen continued, "Brook did die in a battle, but he ate the Yellow Spring Fruit, so his body is indeed dead, but his soul is alive!"
"And his current identity is a living skeleton!"
"A living skeleton?"
(???)!
"That sounds interesting!" Luffy said with shining eyes.
"Indeed! I have never seen a living skeleton in my life. I wonder if the bones will break if I chop it with a knife!"
"What would this bone taste like if used as food?"
"You are devils!!!" Nami and Usopp couldn't help but shout loudly after hearing what Luffy and the other three said.
Who are these people?
A living skeleton, this thing sounds scary, right?
"Hahaha...it's really interesting. I wonder if I'll have the chance to encounter it in the future~" Luffy said expectantly.
Xia Chen smiled but said nothing.
After a while, Kurokas finally accepted this fact and a smile appeared on his face.
“That guy! Hahaha…”
After laughing for a long time, Kurokas looked at Xia Chen and said, "Thank you for bringing me this news!"
"Hey, uncle, what are you talking about? If you really want to thank us, why don't you give us your record pointer? We don't have a record pointer yet!"
"Hahaha...of course no problem!"
"Record pointer? What is that?" Nami asked curiously.
"It's a compass used to guide direction in the Grand Line." Xia Chen said lightly.
"Hmm? A compass won't work?"
"Look at your compass now!"
"What's so good about this compass...Ah!!"
"Why, why is the compass needle spinning all the time?" Nami asked in horror.
"Because the magnetic field of the Grand Line is very chaotic, and all weather conditions here are unreliable, including white clouds, ocean currents, and wind direction! The only thing you can trust is the direction indicated by the recorded pointer!"
"In the Grand Line, each island is connected by magnetism, so every time we arrive at an island, we need to stay there for a while until the recording pointer has recorded the magnetism of the island!"
"The time taken can be long or short. Some may take several days to record, while others may only take a few hours! Once the record is completed, it will point to the direction of the next island!"
Xia Chen talked a lot about recording pointers in one breath. He felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the coffee next to him and took a sip comfortably.
"You are really knowledgeable, Mr. Xia Chen!"
"Of course!" Xia Chen answered subconsciously. But suddenly he seemed to realize something, and just as he was about to turn his head, he was hit hard on the head.
"Ah! It hurts!" Xia Chen covered his head and wailed.
Looking at Nami's gloomy face, he said tremblingly: "What...what happened?"
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
"You didn't ask!" Xia Chen felt a little aggrieved. He knew so many things, and he would definitely tell them when he encountered special situations. Otherwise, why would he say so much when he had nothing to do?
But he didn't dare to say these words. Nami's punch just now...
It hurts!
Xia Chen seriously suspected that Nami was the first person in the Straw Hat Pirates to master the Tyranny. It was quite powerful!
Crocus took out the recording pointer and handed it to Nami, which made Nami happy.
I don’t know if it’s the nature of a navigator, but I feel happy when I see this kind of pointer.
Kulokas said: "There are 7 routes in the Grand Line. Which one are you going to choose?"
"Let's go to Whiskey Peak!" Xia Chen said lightly.
"Is there any difference between these 7?" Nami asked curiously.
"Have!"
"What's the difference?"
“The islands we passed through were different!”
. . . .
Nami's anger that had just risen up again. If it weren't for the fact that Crocus was an old man, she would have let him try what One Punch Man was.
Crocus was also a little confused when he saw Nami's changing expression. He was not wrong!
It seems that this little girl has a bad temper, oh!
No wonder every crew member on their ship was beaten hard by her!
Back to the point, Kurokas continued, "No matter which route you choose, the final destination is the final island - Raftel!"
"So if you are here with the determination to become the Pirate King, you can choose any one of them!"
"Then why choose Whiskey Peak?" Nami turned and looked at Xia Chen.
"Because this route is more interesting!" Xia Chen replied.
"More interesting?" Luffy's eyes lit up again when he heard this, and then he said loudly: "Okay! Then let's decide to go to Whiskey Peak!"
Hearing this, Nami couldn't help but hold her forehead. Why did she always feel that nothing good would happen?
