"!!!"

As if they didn't expect Xia Chen to ask this question, the five elders all showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

After a moment of silence, Venus nodded and said, "Yes, our current fruit abilities are inherited from the previous Five Elders!"

"You know, we in the World Government have mastered the method of extracting the power of devil fruits from the dead, and all this is thanks to the greatest scientist in the world - Vegapunk!"

Jin Xing spoke with great confidence and logic, giving people a very convincing feeling, but he didn't know that Xia Chen was looking at him with strange eyes at this moment.

To be honest, if he didn't have a God's perspective, and if he hadn't extracted the fruit abilities of the previous Five Elders and then disappeared, Xia Chen might have really believed his lies.

Vegapunk is indeed great, and is said to possess wisdom that surpasses the world's by five hundred years.

Not only did he create the Pacifist, but he later even created the most powerful human weapon with even greater power - the Seraph!

The most exaggerated thing is that it can even crack the mystery of devil fruits and give devil fruit abilities to Seraphim.

Although at present only the superhuman type of devil fruit abilities can be extracted and the natural type cannot be realized for the time being, it is still powerful enough!

Oh, that’s not right. In the original work, Seraph appeared two years after the Battle of Marineford. Now only half a year has passed, so it’s not certain whether it has been created.

To sum up, if we say that Vegapunk possesses the means that Venus described, Xia Chen believes it!

But the current situation is definitely not something Vegapunk can do. At that time, the abilities of the five mythical beasts were transformed into devil fruits and lay quietly in his system space.

In the end, it actually turned back into ordinary fruit. Xia Chen didn't think Vegapunk had the ability to handle such an abstract situation!

But it doesn't matter. Ever since Venus said that their fruit abilities were indeed the same as those of the previous Five Elders, Xia Chen knew what was going on.

As for the excuses Venus made, Xia Chen could understand them. She just didn't want to expose Im.

Xia Chen was silent for a long time, during which time the Five Elders and others did not speak either.

After a while, Xia Chen slowly stood up and walked outside.

Now that things were clear, there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

He had no intention of killing these five old guys. He had no shortage of devil fruits. Even if it happened again, the power of the fruit would return to Im and then be passed on to the next of the Five Elders.

So there is no need for this!

It would be better for the time being to keep these old guys who are afraid of him!

With a gust of breeze, Xia Chen's figure instantly disappeared from the sight of the Five Elders.

In an instant, the five people felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from their hearts, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Only then did they realize that their backs had been soaked without them knowing when. The pressure Xia Chen had put on them just now was indeed a bit too much!

"Xia Chen...has become stronger again!"

Mercury looked solemn and said with lingering fear.

"Yeah, after not seeing him for half a year, the feeling of oppression has become even stronger! I feel my heart pounding just when he's standing there!" Saturn also echoed.

"I don't know how he can maintain such a high rate of improvement. It's really too outrageous!"

"We have no way to deal with him now. We even have to do whatever he tells us to do. We are going to lose face for the World Government!" Mars said in a helpless tone.

"What can we do? Those who don't want to lose face are dead now, and those who are willing to lose face are alive now. Besides, Lord Yim hasn't decided to take action against him yet. During this period, we will be constrained by him."

"Oh! I just hope this won't take too long, otherwise by then..."

Jupiter stopped talking halfway through his sentence, but everyone present knew what he wanted to say next.

For a moment, the five people fell silent again.

That’s right, they were all afraid that if they gave Xia Chen more time, Lord Yim might not be able to defeat Xia Chen.

Although they were full of confidence in Lord Yim, Xia Chen's speed of growing stronger was so fast that they had to be afraid.

They now just hope that their worries are unnecessary, otherwise...

-

After leaving Mary Joa, Xia Chen sped all the way and soon arrived at an island in the doldrums.

As soon as he entered within a few hundred meters of the island, Xia Chen felt waves coming from the island, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"It looks quite lively!"

After muttering something in a low voice, Xia Chen flew directly towards the island without hesitation. He was very curious about how much those guys' strength had improved in the past six months.

At this time, somewhere in the center of the island.

"Qiang! Qiang!"

The sound of metal clashing continued to be heard.

“Itsword style!…”

A green-haired man murmured softly, then raised his hand and slashed out an extremely sharp blade, rushing towards a figure in front of him.

"Yohoho! What an incredibly powerful slash, Zoro!"

The skeleton with the afro first laughed a few times, then also pulled out the knife in his hand.

"Ittoryu, Nogi Uta Sando..."

Brook swung the knife in his hand violently at such a speed that one could not even see any trace of the knife being swung out, as if the knife had never been unsheathed.

And the situation was indeed as if nothing had happened. The flying slash launched by Zoro was still rushing towards Brook with great ferocity.

But Brooke was not in a hurry, and he continued to slowly insert the knife into the sheath.

Just before the blade was about to be sheathed, Brooke's lips moved slightly and he said in a low voice:

"Swallowtail Slash!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge sword energy that was less than a meter in front of Brook suddenly turned into points of light and dissipated in the air.

It is no exaggeration to describe this scene as magnificent!

Zoro, who was watching this scene from a distance, did not change his expression at all, he just said lightly.

"Fancy!"

Zoro bent his legs slightly and was about to rush towards Brook when he felt that the environment around him seemed to become a little darker, and he subconsciously looked up.

What came into view was an extremely huge black shadow, and at the same time a voice was heard.

"White Tiger Split Sky Claw!"

Seeing this, Zoro narrowed his eyes and the knife in his hand instantly appeared above his head.

"boom!"

A huge tiger claw collided with Zoro's sword, splashing countless sparks, and at the same time a powerful shock wave spread in all directions, rustling the trees in the distance.

Obviously, the size of a tiger claw is many times larger than Zoro, but Zoro's arms holding the tiger claw did not tremble at all. Instead, he spoke calmly:

"Usopp, let's not talk about anything else, your sneak attack skills have improved..."
