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

"Dad!!"

Ace and the others shouted at the top of their lungs from a distance.

Xia Chen had no intention of getting involved in this situation of life and death. He slowly turned around and walked away, leaving this place to Whitebeard and his sons.

Let them say goodbye to Whitebeard properly for the last time!

-

After some time~

Xia Chen stood on the edge of a cliff on the island, looking at the sea in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

At a certain moment, he seemed to realize something, and without turning his head, he said calmly: "Have you dealt with Whitebeard's funeral?"

"Not yet. We plan to bury Dad in two days. Let us, his unfilial sons, spend some time with him these few days!"

"I came here to thank you. Thank you for coming here!"

Ace's voice came from behind Xia Chen, and then he walked to Xia Chen and stood side by side with Xia Chen, his eyes also looking towards the distant sea.

"It's a small matter! I have a lot of respect for Whitebeard, so I am happy to come and see him off for the last time!"

"And this time he let me see Whitebeard in his prime, so I was actually quite excited!" Xia Chen replied.

Ace was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said, "No matter what, I still want to thank you!"

Xia Chen turned his head slightly, looked at Ace, and suddenly smiled.

"Okay, then thank me if you want to. I accept your gratitude!"

"Yeah!" Ace nodded, and then the two of them fell into silence. No one spoke for a long time. In the end, Ace was the first to speak.

"By the way, why haven't I heard from you guys in the past six months? This shouldn't be the case!"

"Well! We haven't been anywhere in the past six months, so it's strange that you can hear news about us. Luffy and the others were still a little lacking in strength six months ago. They might be OK in the Grand Line, but if they really come to the New World, they will be a little weak!"

"So we decided to practice for a while before setting sail again, and we agreed on half a year!"

"It's almost time to go back and see Luffy and the others. Speaking of which, I haven't seen them for almost half a year!"

Speaking of Luffy and others, Xia Chen couldn't help but smile.

He has been with Luffy since he came to this world, and they have hardly been apart for a while since then. After not seeing each other for half a year, he really misses him a little bit~

"Well, it's been a while since I came out, I should go back!"

Xia Chen turned and looked at Ace and said calmly.

"Okay!" Ace nodded.

Xia Chen didn't say much. He nodded to Ace and jumped down. The somersault cloud instantly appeared under his feet, and then his figure disappeared into the distant sky.

"Xia Chen..."

Ace murmured softly, and stayed there for more than ten minutes, before he slowly turned around and walked towards Marco and the others...

-

In a room in the Holy Land, Marijoa.

"Xia Chen hasn't made any moves in half a year, right?"

"Yes! We haven't seen him anywhere in the past six months. Judging from the way he came to see us before, he may have been in Daughter Island for the past six months!"

"Tsk~ Is this kid obsessed with the Pirate Queen's beauty?"

"Sure enough, few men of this age can resist the temptation of beauty, even someone as strong as Xia Chen."

"But this is actually a good thing for us. Having desires proves that this person has weaknesses. Otherwise, if he doesn't want anything, that would be the most difficult thing to deal with!"

The Five Elders and others expressed their opinions one after another. This was the countless times they had gathered together to discuss Xia Chen.

Normally, the five of them rarely get together, and in most situations, only one of them needs to take the lead to resolve the issue.

But because of Xia Chen, the Five Elders' meetings, which used to be rare, became at least once a week, and the theme of each meeting revolved around whether Xia Chen had made any recent moves.

After talking about a lot of plans to deal with Xia Chen, they occasionally solved some small issues. But even though Xia Chen did not take any action every time, they were still very interested in discussing Xia Chen.

The name that has appeared most frequently on their lips in the past six months is probably Xia Chen!

"Well... since Xia Chen hasn't made any moves recently, then we don't need to worry about him. Let's end today's meeting here!"

Saturn said calmly, then slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, a voice made him pause, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

"Hey, Lord Saturn, don't be impatient. I still want to continue listening to you discuss something about me. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Five Elder Stars all looked in a certain direction, and then expressions of extreme horror appeared on their faces.

"Xia...Xia Chen! When did you come in? Why is there no movement at all?"

Jupiter looked at Xia Chen with a hint of fear in his eyes and asked tremblingly.

Since Xia Chen could appear here silently without being discovered by any of them, does that also mean that if Xia Chen wanted to kill them, they wouldn't even know how they died?

When I think of Jupiter, I feel as if my life is not my own, and Xia Chen can take it away at any time if he wants.

"You don't need to know when I came in. You just need to know that I heard most of your conversations about me!"

"I have indeed been on Daughter Island for the past six months. There is no need to hide this. So guess why I warned you six months ago not to approach Daughter Island?"

At this point, Xia Chen showed a playful smile, and then continued:

"As for why there was no movement at all, I can only say that you are too weak to find me!"

The Five Elder Stars: . . . .

It was the first time that they were told that they were weak. If someone dared to talk to them like that, they would at least let the other person know their own strengths and weaknesses.

But Xia Chen said what they said...

Well... they are indeed too weak!

Mars calmed down and looked at Xia Chen and asked:

"So...Xia Chen, what are you planning to do this time?"

Mars has now realized that Xia Chen has no intention of taking their lives for the time being, otherwise they would not have been able to survive for so long.

Since there is no threat to life, other conditions can be discussed.

"It's nothing, I just want to prove something!" Xia Chen said calmly, and then stared at the Five Elders. He asked word by word:

"Do you have the power of the fruit of the previous Five Elders?"
