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

After some time~

The black flames on Xia Chen's body slowly disappeared, his blood-colored hair began to turn back to black, and his pupils also turned back to the golden color of his fiery eyes.

Feeling the murderous intent in his body gradually subsiding, Xia Chen showed a smile.

Damn it, you’re so damn hard to control!

Fortunately, he had a strong will honed by watching a lot of action stars in his previous life. Otherwise, he really couldn't bear it!

Now that he has fully recovered his lucidity, he must...

"System, can you explain to me why this bug occurred?"

[This... You also know that I am just a system. If a system like me has problems, it should be normal for a bug to appear... right? ]

Xia Chen was so angry that he almost laughed when he heard what the system said. What the hell is normal!

"Then can you explain to me why the disadvantages of the demonized form of the Ape-Snake Fruit are so great?"

[The host's fruit is in the form of the Monkey King, and the Monkey King encountered many injustices during his growth, so there is naturally a dark side in his heart, so...]

"So he also inherited the dark side of the Great Sage, right?"

Before the system finished speaking, Xia Chen interrupted it and said.

[(⊙﹏⊙)...Host, you are so smart! ]

. . . .

"I don't care. You made such a serious mistake this time. This damn demonic state you gave me actually has such a big disadvantage."

"If I can't control my murderous intent and offend some pirate, won't that be a disaster?"

"So... you've made such a big mistake, you have to compensate me anyway, right?"

At this point, Xia Chen's feet were finally exposed.

That's right, he just wanted to gain some benefits, even though he is fine now and the probability of encountering a big pirate as he said is also very small.

But a small probability does not mean zero. Since it exists, it is 100% if we round it up!

It would be unreasonable not to compensate him!

[Then...what compensation does the host want? ]

There was a hint of caution in the system's voice; this time it was indeed the system that had a problem.

As a moral system, it is in the wrong!

"Since you are sincere in your repentance, my request is not high. Please eliminate the side effect of my demonic form, which is the murderous intent it generates!"

Xia Chen's voice sounded with a hint of expectation.

Having experienced the demonized state, he deeply understands how powerful that form is.

It makes him stronger in all aspects, just like Luffy in Nika form.

If he were to use this form to fight Hawkeye now, I can't say he would win, but he would definitely be able to last longer and force Hawkeye to exert more strength.

However, this form also has two disadvantages. One of them is that it consumes relatively more physical strength.

This is quite normal. Didn't you see that every time Luffy uses Gear Fifth, he looks like he's about to be buried?

In comparison, his current form only requires a little more energy consumption which is already very good.

Another shortcoming is the problem of murderous intent. In this state, his murderous intent has reached a peak.

He wants to kill everyone he sees, and the longer he uses this form, the stronger his murderous intent becomes.

The murderous intent just now gradually faded because he did not actively want to enter this form just now, he was forced to enter this form.

At the same time, he has been restraining this murderous intent in his heart, so the more he kills, the less murderous intent he has.

To put it simply, it is to eliminate the murderous intent through killing.

But he couldn't say it was always like this, right? What if there weren't so many creatures for him to kill?

What should I do? In this case, wouldn't this form only be usable in dangerous situations?

Normally I don’t even dare to use it because uncontrollable things have too many hidden dangers!

[Host requirements detected, currently being analyzed...]

[Analysis successful, host request rejected! ]

[The core of the demonized form is the killing intent. If the killing intent does not exist, then this form will lose its meaning. The system can make this killing intent controllable, but it cannot erase the killing intent.]

[If the host must erase the killing intent, then this form must be erased as well. Do you want to erase it? ]

"what?"

Xia Chen was stunned for a moment at first, then he reacted immediately and said quickly:

"No erasure, no erasure!"

Are you kidding me? How can such a powerful form be erased?

And...just now the system seemed to say that this murderous intent can be made controllable?

(☆▽☆)!

If it can be controlled, why would he worry about any disadvantages? This is a huge advantage, okay?

Then Xia Chen immediately said to the system: "Then make the killing intention controllable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chen felt a strange energy surging into his body, causing him to close his eyes unconsciously and carefully feel the changes in his body.

Luffy on this side saw that Xia Chen’s appearance had returned to his original appearance, and was about to go over and ask what was going on.

But when he was halfway there he discovered that Xia Chen had returned to his previous form, and he was so scared that he took several steps back.

At the same time, an extremely powerful murderous intent emanated from Xia Chen.

At this moment, everyone felt as if they had entered a world of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with countless corpses under their feet.

A few seconds later, when everyone came to their senses, they found that they were soaked with sweat. Those who were less courageous, like Usopp, fell to the ground with weak legs.

Even with a strong will like Zoro, he felt a trace of fear bursting out from his heart at that moment just now.

In an instant, everyone looked at Xia Chen with extremely solemn eyes.

What they didn't know was that Xia Chen felt very comfortable at this moment.

Just after the change was completed, he felt as if he had something extra for no apparent reason.

Then he couldn't help but enter the demon state, but the difference this time was that although he was full of murderous intent.

However, there was no sign of losing control. Instead, he was able to use these murderous intentions at will, causing physical and mental suppression to his opponent.

After getting familiar with the murderous intent, Xia Chen slowly opened his eyes, but saw Luffy and others beside him looking at him as if they were facing a great enemy.

I couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you doing?"

Luffy did not answer immediately, but swallowed and asked stutteringly:

"You...you are Xia Chen?"

"Nonsense, I'm standing right here and you can't recognize me?"

"But...I remember Xia Chen has black hair and black eyes, right? You are all red! Xia Chen is not wearing black clothes either."

"And there's no black flame surrounding Xia Chen like you!"

Xia Chen: . . .

Can't I dye my hair, wear colored contact lenses, change my clothes, and add some special effects?

But Xia Chen knew that he would not be able to explain it to a fool like Luffy, so he ended his demonized state.

The black flames wrapped around his body slowly disappeared, and his clothes and hair returned to their original colors, except that his pupils were still golden.

There is nothing that can be done about this since Xia Chen’s eyes have turned into golden eyes!

This skill of his is a little different from the original Monkey King. It is not that he uses it only when he wants to use it, but it has basically become a normal skill for him.

It doesn't consume much of his energy, it's like a natural ability he possesses.

"Is this okay?" Xia Chen asked Luffy indifferently.
