Chapter 78 Golden Apple
"Demon King Xia Chen!"
Looking at the man in front of him, Smoker's face was solemn. The injury he received last time was still aching!
"What are you doing here?"
"Come and buy something!" Xia Chen said, spreading his hands.
"The pirates are here just to buy something?"
"Well, I told you but you didn't believe me, so what can I do?" Xia Chen felt helpless. Why is it that no one believes the truth these days?
"So, what are you going to do now, Colonel Smoker!" Xia Chen looked at Smoker and said lightly.
"Of course I'm going to arrest you!" As Smoker said this, white smoke began to emerge from his body.
"If you think so, I advise you to forget it. I think you should be very clear about the difference in strength between us. You... can't be my opponent!"
"So what? Even if I am no match for you, as long as I am still a marine, I will never allow a pirate like you to go unpunished!"
"Hey, hey, hey, watch your words. What do you mean by a pirate like me? Have I ever done anything?" Xia Chen retorted bluntly.
"Even if you haven't done anything, that's only temporary. Pirates are pirates, and they can never change their evil nature."
"Hey, when did you, a white-haired bastard, start talking like that bastard Akainu?"
Xia Chen was a little unhappy. I was talking to you politely, but you took advantage of me? In that case...
Xia Chen's eyes turned cold, and the next moment he appeared in front of Smoker, with Ryuying Armament Haki wrapped around his fist, and he hit Smoker's stomach heavily.
Smoker was still wondering whether Xia Chen had seen Akainu, but he didn't know when Xia Chen appeared in front of his face, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The next second, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, then my eyes went black, and I instantly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
"Why bother?"
Xia Chen said calmly as he looked at Smoker who had fallen to the ground.
If it weren't for the fact that Smoker was a navy man with a strong sense of justice, he would have sent him down to have tea with Qu Yuan long ago.
For this kind of navy, he will most likely not kill them unless they are really provoked.
This is not to say that he is a saint, but because the pirate world does need such a navy to maintain it.
Although he is a pirate, he actually doesn't have a good impression of most pirates.
Just like what Smoker said, most pirates are arsonists, murderers, plunderers, and do all kinds of evil. Massacres of civilians are commonplace and easy to do. In a sense, they are even more evil than the Celestial Dragons.
But you can't just kill someone with one blow. Like him, he must be a good pirate, right?
Well! At least that's what he thought!
Then Xia Chen turned to look at Chopper and said, "Chopper, let's go. It's time to go back to find Luffy and the others. We've been delayed for a while by this stupid marine. Who knows what will happen if we go back too late..."
……
After some time~
Xia Chen looked at the five people who stayed where they were and couldn't help but hold his forehead slightly.
Damn it, the thing I was worried about finally happened!
"Nami, where is that idiot Luffy?"
"I don't know!" Nami shook her head.
"He was still here at the beginning, and disappeared in the blink of an eye!"
"That idiot is always causing trouble for others!"
"These are the clothes I bought for you. You can put them on and let's go find him together!" Xia Chen pretended to be normal and took out the clothes from the system space and handed them to them.
After a while~
"Xia Chen, this dress... is for a dancing girl, right?" Weiwei asked uncertainly.
"Ah? I don't know! I just thought it looked good, so I bought it!" Xia Chen said as if he knew nothing.
At this time, Sanji came over and put his arm around Xia Chen's shoulders, secretly giving him a thumbs up. Xia Chen also responded with his eyes.
Men understand men best!
But to be honest, Weiwei has quite a lot of money...
……
"Golden Apple?"
"Eat one and you'll live a thousand years? Really?"
(☆▽☆)!
Chopper and Usopp asked in shock as they looked at the golden apple in the hands of the vendor in front of them.
"Of course it's real. I won't cheat you. Since you two are so sincere, I only need one thousand berries and you can take the golden apple!"
The vendor boss said to the two people with an expression that said, "I've lost money," but he was secretly laughing in his heart: "I fooled two more fools!"
"Boss, is this apple originally golden, or was it painted on?" a voice asked quietly.
"Of course it's natural!" the vendor answered subconsciously, but suddenly seemed to realize something and turned his head hurriedly.
At this time, Xia Chen was pulling open the cloth behind him and watching his clerk applying the dye.
"Ah this..." Sweat instantly broke out on the vendor's forehead.
"Ho ho!"
"Don't mention it. Even though this golden apple is fake, it tastes really good!" Zoro said after taking a bite of the golden apple in his mouth.
"It's really good, especially the layer of juice on top, which makes the taste of this apple reach a higher level!" Xia Chen said lightly.
Just now, Xia Chen just wanted to expose the boss, but unexpectedly discovered that the dye he used was actually a kind of golden fruit juice.
So, the original anti-counterfeiting campaign turned into intimidation!
He directly threatened the boss to get him a big bag of apples and a big bucket of that juice, and if he didn't give it to him, he would expose him and let everyone know that he was a liar.
After this series of operations, each of them now has a free golden apple!
Since Smoker keeps shouting that pirates are evil, it wouldn't be excessive for him to do something a pirate should do, right?
While thinking, Xia Chen took another bite of the apple.
So sweet!
"Ace, why are you here?"
Just as they were walking, a shout suddenly came from a restaurant next to them.
The moment they heard the voice, everyone looked over there.
As expected, they found their target!
……
At this time, inside the restaurant, Luffy looked at Ace in front of him with a look of joy.
He originally just wanted to eat something else for a change, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected reward.
He met his brother Ace, who went to sea three years earlier than him.
He was undoubtedly excited at the moment, and even slowed down the speed of putting food into his mouth.
And because of Xia Chen's actions, Smoker, who was supposed to be here, was nowhere to be seen.
The two of them started chatting while eating in the restaurant.
"Luffy, are you full?" Ace suddenly asked Luffy.
“It’s ok, not very filling!”
Hearing this, Ace smiled.
"Then...would you like to compete to see who eats more?"
"(⊙o⊙)..."
Luffy was stunned for a moment, then he and Ace wolfed down the food on the table at the same time.
When both of them realized that the other person started eating without even saying hello, they pointed at each other and said at the same time:
"You cheat!"
The next moment, the two of them buried their heads in their meals.
I can only say that they are worthy of being brothers, the actions are exactly the same!
