Pirates: I become stronger by checking in on the plot island

"This is?"

Whitebeard looked at the khaki halo in front of him with some confusion.

"This is one of my defense methods!"

A faint voice came from the front, and then a figure slowly walked out of the smoke.

The moment he saw the figure clearly, Whitebeard's pupils shrank slightly, and his face was full of shock.

It was just that Xia Chen didn't have any injuries on his body at that time. At most, the corners of his clothes were a little messy. The rest didn't even show that he had experienced a high-intensity battle.

Xia Chen looked at Whitebeard and said, "The attack just now has exhausted the last bit of your strength. If I don't help you block the aftermath of the attack..."

At this point, Xia Chen showed a playful smile on his face and said:

"Maybe you'll be the first of the Four Emperors to be killed by the aftermath of the fight. That would be hilarious!"

Whitebeard: . . .

What Xia Chen said was indeed correct. After Whitebeard had delivered that devastating blow, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away. Not to mention, he really couldn't withstand the aftermath of their fight.

But now Whitebeard is more curious about...

"How strong are you now?" White Beard asked Xia Chen while staring at him.

The attack just now was definitely the strongest attack in his life, even stronger than in his heyday.

But even such an attack was blocked by Xia Chen with great ease, which made Whitebeard a little frustrated.

But when I think about the fact that Xia Chen was able to kill his way through the Navy Headquarters half a year ago, let alone him half a year later!

With Xia Chen's abnormal speed of becoming stronger, he must be much stronger than he was half a year ago!

Xia Chen is the strongest person Whitebeard has ever seen, no doubt about it, so the only thing Whitebeard wants to know now is how strong Xia Chen is now.

Hearing this, Xia Chen was silent for a while, and then he said, "I don't know exactly how strong I am now, but one thing I can be sure of is..."

"Even if you four emperors are all in your prime, I can beat you four as easily as beating my great-grandsons. Do you have any idea of ​​this?"

After the words fell, Whitebeard's pupils contracted violently, and after a long pause he said:

"I understand! With your strength, there should be nothing in this world that can limit you, including the World Government!"

"That's not necessarily true. There's an old guy who has lived for eight hundred years hidden in the World Government! That guy's strength should not be underestimated!" Xia Chen replied indifferently.

"Huh? There are such people in the World Government? I've never even heard of them!" Whitebeard showed a surprised expression on his face.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. He usually doesn't care about what happens in the world. To Him, everything you do is just a small matter in His eyes. He has no interest in caring about you at all!"

"Is that so!" Whitebeard murmured in a low voice, his eyes showing a thoughtful look, but then became extremely clear.

“Gulala, it seems like there are still many things I don’t understand about this world!”

"The ocean is truly vast. Even if I spend my entire life I still cannot understand its full scope. It really makes me feel sad!"

"But no matter how much I'm reluctant, my role should now come to an end. In the new era... there is no longer a ship that can carry me!"

With every word Whitebeard spoke, his aura would drop a bit, and by the time he finished his last sentence, his breath was so weak that it was barely audible.

Whitebeard looked up at the sky, his eyes unfocused, as if he was recalling something. After a while, he said softly:

"Blue sky, white clouds, and sea! What a beautiful world! What a wonderful journey..."

As Whitebeard finished his last word, his aura completely fell silent.

At this point, the man who left countless legends on this sea and was once known as the strongest man in the world finally came to the end of his life.

Xia Chen looked at the lifeless white beard in front of him, and felt a little melancholy, and then...

A familiar fruit basket appeared next to Whitebeard.

It didn't take long before one of the fruits in the basket changed.

Xia Chen walked forward, picked it up in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while. It was known as the world's strongest superhuman fruit - the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Although he respects Whitebeard, Xia Chen will not allow such a powerful fruit to be reborn somewhere in the world.

Just consider it as a reward for him coming all the way here to fight Whitebeard!

After playing with it for a while again, Xia Chen threw it into the system space and saved it for later use.

Now, when he counted, he already had the top-grade fruits...

!!!

As if he had seen something, Xia Chen's pupils shrank slightly and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He didn't know how long it had been since his mood fluctuated so much, and now this happened, all because of...

As Xia Chen thought about it, seven fruits appeared in front of him.

One of them is completely fiery red and looks like flowing magma. It is Akainu's magma fruit. The other one is the freshly-baked Tremolo Fruit.

There is nothing wrong with these two fruits. The problem is...

The remaining five fruits!!

These five fruits are plump in appearance and bright in color, making them very appetizing at first sight, but that’s where the problem lies!

At this time, these five fruits are no longer in the form of devil fruits, but ordinary fruits!

During the war at the top, Xia Chen obtained a total of six fruits, Akainu's magma fruit and the five mythical beasts of the Five Elders!

Now there is nothing wrong with the magma fruit, but the other five fruits have all turned back into ordinary fruits.

Xia Chen would never believe that this had nothing to do with Yimu, but...

How on earth did Yim do this?

And if nothing unexpected happens, these five fruits should have turned back into ordinary fruits long ago, but Xia Chen has never seen them since he put them in there to gather dust.

That's why I haven't noticed their changes!

"Um……"

Xia Chen stroked his chin and pondered. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come to a conclusion, but he could verify a possibility.

If his guess was correct, it would prove that Im definitely knew the secret of the devil fruit.

But this guess needs to be verified later. Now...

Xia Chen turned his head and looked at a large group of people rushing towards this location not far away!
