Chapter 8: A 3rd-rate swordsman dares to challenge me?
Xia Chen stood on the top of the naval base, watching Nami moving piles of treasures away below, with a smile on his face.
Although his purpose of coming here this time was indeed for this pile of treasure.
But he just wanted to increase his savings.
The remaining berry he had was actually enough for the three of them to use for a while.
So when I met Nami, I just gave it to her directly.
In his opinion, it was well worth exchanging this little treasure for one of Nami's conditions.
And Nami's money will be given to the dragon when the time comes.
When the time comes, he can just go and ask the evil dragon for help.
Simple things will eventually go back into his pocket, all the same!
Okay, go back to sleep!
……
Early the next morning.
"Luffy, if you eat this much again you'll have to pay for your meal!"
"And you too, Zoro. Who told you to order the most expensive wine every time?"
In a tavern in the town, Xia Chen's veins popped out on his head and he spoke to Luffy and Zoro with anger.
Damn, that was too hasty. Is it too late for him to go find Nami and get the treasure back?
Luffy and Zoro, these two idiots, really squandered his remaining Berry!
"What does it matter, Xia Chen, don't be so stingy!" Luffy said while stuffing meat into his mouth.
"That's right, that's right. Don't you think you are too narrow-minded?" Zoro also echoed.
(??へ??╬)!
"clang!"
"clang!"
Xia Chen instantly came to Luffy and Zoro and slapped them both.
Seeing this scene, Coby was trembling with fear.
An idea came to mind.
"Mr. Xia Chen, so fierce!"
Luffy and Zoro both hit their heads on the ground at the same time, but their reactions were completely different.
"Xia Chen, kid, I'm going to chop you to death!" Sauron was furious.
"Hey, Xia Chen, I'm a rubber man, you can't hurt me!" Luffy said provocatively.
Damn it! Xia Chen's anger instantly surged up again.
Looking at Luffy, he thought viciously:
"When I master my domineering power, I will beat you so badly that even your grandfather won't recognize you!"
What should we do now that Xia Chen is still angry?
Of course he was going to vent his anger on some third-rate swordsman who wanted to chop him down!
"hey-hey!"
……
After some time~
Xia Chen was eating meat happily, while Zoro was drinking wine with a pig's head on his head, looking at Xia Chen with eyes full of resentment.
"Boom!"
Just then, a group of navy men came in from outside the door.
They said to Xia Chen:
"Although we are grateful that you helped us out of this misery"
"But I am a marine, and you are pirates, please leave this island!"
As soon as the words fell, many dissatisfied voices were heard in the tavern.
"Are you navy guys sick? How can you treat our benefactor like this?"
"I don't agree. My benefactor can leave whenever he wants. It's not your turn to decide!"
After hearing what these villagers said, Luffy was silent for a while.
Then he said:
"Okay, let's go!"
"Xia Chen, Sauron, let's go!"
Xia Chen and Zoro stood up and walked outside with Luffy.
Just then, the navy's voice came from behind.
"Aren't you one of them?"
Hearing this, Luffy turned around and looked at Coby who was at a loss behind him.
Then Luffy smiled.
He walked up to Coby and told him everything that had happened on Alrita's ship.
Coby was worried that if the navy knew he had been on a pirate ship, they would not let him join the navy.
So as Luffy talked more and more, Coby couldn't help but punch Luffy.
"You bastard!"
"Oh, you dare to hit me!" Luffy said angrily.
Then the two of them kept punching each other.
The navy man saw this and said hurriedly:
"Hey, stop it! I won't allow you to cause trouble on this island anymore!"
"I believe you are not in the same group!"
Hearing this, Luffy stopped what he was doing and slowly walked outside.
……
The three of them walked on the path out of the island.
"Hey! Are you taking this too far?" Zoro asked Luffy.
"No! Coby can handle it himself! Let's trust him!" Luffy said with a smile.
Xia Chen nodded in the same way.
After all, Coby is the one who dares to confront Akainu head-on in the future, so how could he not handle such a small matter well?
Luffy came to the shore, dropped the rope that tied the boat, and the three of them jumped directly onto the boat.
At this moment, Coby suddenly ran over to the shore.
Looking at Xia Chen and the others, they said:
"Thank you, thank you so much for taking care of me along the way!"
"But I won't show mercy next time we meet!"
"It's the first time I see the navy thanking pirates. It's so strange!" Zoro curled his lips.
"There will be more in the future!" Xia Chen said lightly.
"Bye, Coby! See you next time!" Luffy shouted and waved.
The boat slowly sailed away as everyone in the town watched.
……
after one day……
"Oh, I'm so hungry!" Luffy collapsed weakly on the boat.
My stomach is growling.
"Indeed, I'm a little hungry too!" Xia Chen nodded in agreement.
Then Xia Chen took out a piece of meat from the space and started chewing it.
"Mmm~ It smells so good!"
Luffy came over immediately when he saw Xia Chen eating.
"I want it too, I want it too!"
Xia Chen casually took out two more pieces of meat from the system space and threw one to Luffy and Zoro respectively.
"Xia Chen, your fruit ability is so useful!" Luffy said enviously.
"If I could be like you, I could carry lots and lots of meat wherever I go! So happy!"
. . . .
Xia Chen and Sauron were speechless after hearing this.
The two looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds.
They are so unlucky to have such a captain!
"By the way, how long will we have to drift like this?" Zoro suddenly asked.
"I don't know, just drift wherever you want. This is how Luffy and I came when we went out to sea!"
Xia Chen replied calmly.
"and……"
At this point, Xia Chen's mouth curled up into a smile.
"We'll have something to take us there later!"
"What do you mean?" Before Zoro could figure out what Xia Chen meant, he saw Xia Chen's eyes suddenly look up at the sky.
"Look, something's coming!"
Zoro looked up and saw a huge bird flying in the sky.
"You mean... this bird takes us?"
"Correct!" Xia Chen snapped his fingers calmly.
"Are you kidding? This bird flies so fast, how can our ship catch up with it?" Zoro looked at Xia Chen as if he were an idiot.
"Who said we are going to take a boat?" Xia Chen showed a meaningful smile on his face.
"We're going to ride... a bird!"
Then, Zoro and Luffy were grabbed by Xia Chen one by one, and they quickly approached the bird using the Moon Step.
"Ah~ bastard, what are you doing!" Zoro widened his eyes.
Luffy, on the other hand, was just laughing.
“Wuhu, so exciting!”
"boom!"
"boom!"
After a few steps in space, Xia Chen was close to the bird, and after another step, he landed on the bird's back.
