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

"Ace, you know Red Hair Shanks!"

"Well, one of the Four Emperors of the New World. I met him before!" Ace replied.

"What? Ace, you also went to see Shanks?"

Hearing this, Luffy yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Yes, I've heard you mention him before. Just when I first went out to sea, I heard the news that he was on an island, so I went to meet him. We even drank all night, hahaha..."

"Is that so?" Luffy showed a happy smile on his face, took off the hat on his head and put it in his hands, thinking secretly in his heart:

"Shanks, I will definitely become the Pirate King!"

"So what do you want to say when you mentioned Red Hair?" Ace asked.

"What do you think of Red Hair's strength?" Xia Chen asked calmly.

Ace:? ? ?

Hearing this, Ace couldn't help but look at Xia Chen as if he was a fool, then rolled his eyes and said:

"Red Hair is one of the Four Emperors, a pirate of the same rank as my father. What do you think of his strength?"

"Then what do you think your chances of winning against Red Hair are?" Xia Chen asked again.

"Hey, hey, hey, kid, are you looking for trouble?"

Ace was a little dissatisfied. Although he was confident in himself, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could compete with the red-haired boy.

You have to know that when he challenged his father before, he was beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back.

Although he thinks his father is the strongest and even Red Hair is inferior to him, he is still one of the Four Emperors after all. If he goes up to fight him, he will at most be a bigger version of Karami!

"Then, do you know how the scar on Red Hair's face came about?" Xia Chen asked again.

"No, how could I..."

Ace was getting a little impatient at this point, but suddenly he seemed to have grasped some key information.

He asked solemnly, "You mean the wound on Red Hair's face was left by Blackbeard?"

"That's right!" Xia Chen nodded.

Hearing this, the expression on Ace's face instantly became solemn, no longer as relaxed as before.

He didn't ask why Xia Chen knew the news. There was no need for Xia Chen to lie to him.

The news that the wound on Red Hair's face was left by Blackbeard really made him a little unsure.

If it were him, he wouldn't have the confidence to leave a scar on the red-haired man as well.

Ace was silent for a long time. After a while, he looked at Xia Chen and said:

"Thank you for the information. I will think about it carefully!"

Xia Chen looked at Ace deeply and said nothing more.

He has said everything he needs to say, and if Ace still doesn't listen, then there's nothing he can do.

"Smoking man!"

Suddenly, Luffy's roar attracted Xia Chen's attention.

Smoking man? Xia Chen was a little confused. The only person who could be called a smoking man by Luffy was...

Following Luffy's gaze, Xia Chen saw someone who surprised him.

Smoker?

No way, he's still haunting me? I just received a blow from his Ryuu Haki, and now I can actually run into him in this small restaurant?

However, Smoker looked a little embarrassed at this time, with most of his body leaning on Dashigi, and there was a faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He also coughed from time to time.

But despite this state, he still had the cigar in his mouth as usual. Xia Chen was really afraid that he would choke to death if he coughed next time.

At the same time that Xia Chen and others discovered him, Smoker also discovered Xia Chen and others. There was nothing he could do because Luffy's voice was too loud.

When Smoker saw Xia Chen and others, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Straw Hat Boy, Demon King Xia Chen, Portgas D. Ace, everyone is here!"

The rest of the people: "Aren't we human beings!!!"

(╬▔皿▔)╯!

"What, Colonel Smoker? You want to capture us with your seriously injured body? It seems unrealistic!" Xia Chen said lightly.

He himself was very clear about the power of his attack, and such a short time had passed that he could not recover much. Smoker might even be able to stand now!

"Of course I will arrest you, but it's not me who will do it, it's someone else."

"Oh, from what you said, you're looking for help?" Xia Chen asked with a faint smile. He was not worried at all that Smoker might look for help.

With his current strength, he wouldn't care even if Smoker asked the lieutenant general for help.

Smoker came to Alabasta this time without the approval of the higher-ups.

He just didn't believe that the other side could find a substitute general or even a general.

As high-level combat forces in the navy, they are all very busy, okay?

"I hope you can still laugh later!" Smoker said with a fake smile. It can be seen that he is very confident!

As Smoker finished his words, a very tall but thin-looking man slowly walked into the restaurant.

When Xia Chen saw this person, his expression changed from indifference to seriousness.

At the same time, Ace also recognized the person, and the expression on his face instantly became exactly the same as Xia Chen's.

Only Luffy and others who didn't know this man were still confused at this time, but they had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Ever since the man at the door came in, the air seemed to freeze. Even Xia Chen, who always had confidence on his face, lost his usual calmness.

Seeing this, Zoro couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who is this man? How could he make you look like this!"

Hearing this, Xia Chen did not look away, his eyes were always on the man opposite him, and then he said solemnly: "Admiral of the Navy Headquarters - Aokiji!"

"General of the headquarters???"

This news was like a bombshell, shocking everyone present. No matter it was Zoro and his friends or other civilians eating here, they all stared with their eyes popped out.

Only one person was a little confused when looking at the scene in front of him.

Luffy looked at the people around him and asked curiously, "What's with that expression on your face? Is the admiral of the Marine Headquarters very powerful?"

"Can you please remove the word 'ma'?" Nami said unhappily.

"Admiral, that is one of the highest combat forces of the Navy. Do you understand the value of the highest combat force?"

"Um……"

Luffy thought about it for a while but still didn't understand, so he just stopped thinking about it and said with a nonchalant smile: "Who cares about his highest combat power? Just beat him up!"

As soon as Luffy said this, everyone's eyes turned to him.

And they all looked at me with the same look, that of an idiot.

Even Ace didn't want to admit that Luffy was his brother. How embarrassing!

No, you are so brave, right? Are you really ignorant and fearless?
