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

Inside the Royal Palace Baths...

Several men and a reindeer surrounded a man with ugly expressions on their faces.

Looking at the group of people around him staring at him, Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"What are you doing?"

"Why? Are you so wealthy?" Sanji said with a grim expression.

Everyone else had the same idea as Sanji. They looked at Xia Chen's and compared it with their own, and a sense of disparity arose.

After a long while, Cobra looked at Xia Chen and said quietly, "I actually feel... you are more suitable to be the king!"

Xia Chen: . . .

After the shock, everyone jumped directly into the bathtub and splashed around vigorously.

After a while, Sanji suddenly asked Ikalem: "Do you know where the women's bathhouse is?"

"Even if I know, I can't tell you, asshole!" Ikalem yelled.

Unexpectedly, the lewd old man Cobra shouted directly at everyone.

"It's behind this wall!"

Hearing this, Sanji immediately stood up in surprise and said to Cobra: "You are so nice!"

As he said that, he prepared to go to the women's bathhouse to find out what was going on. At the same time, Luffy and others followed him out of curiosity.

Seeing this scene, Xia Chen shook his head slightly and sighed.

"This group of people is really hopeless!"

Then he uttered a word lightly.

"Certainly!"

The moment the words fell, the bodies of everyone around were frozen in place, unable to move.

"Ah, these idiots!" Zoro also sighed, but the next second, he found that Luffy and the others were all frozen in place and unable to move. He immediately became alert.

At the same time, he said to Xia Chen beside him: "Xia Chen, have you noticed that Luffy and the others seem unable to move?"

"Well! Found it!" Xia Chen said lightly.

"I did it!"

These words directly swallowed the word "enemy attack" that was stuck in Zoro's throat.

"You did it?" Zoro asked in confusion.

"That's right! I froze them all. This is my latest fruit ability!"

That's right, Xia Chen is now using the immobilization technique used by Monkey King. Recently, when he had nothing to do on Aokiji's ship, he studied the devil fruit. Unexpectedly, he really discovered something through his research.

One of them is the immobilization technique, which can freeze the target. The length of time it can be frozen depends on his strength and the strength of the opponent.

If he wanted to deal with Luffy at this level, Luffy would be pinned down here forever.

The other one is the Water Avoidance Spell, which directly solved his problem of not being able to breathe underwater. Moreover, the spell he learned from this spell is even more powerful than Monkey King's original one.

In the original version, Monkey King would always refuse to fight whenever he encountered a situation that required underwater combat. Monkey King himself admitted that his underwater skills were not very good when he was in the Quicksand River.

The reason is that Monkey King needs to keep reciting the water-avoiding tactics silently when he goes into the water, which consumes his energy.

This prevented him from fighting with all his strength, which affected his strength. (This is content I found online, please correct me if there is anything wrong!)

However, Xia Chen's current water-avoiding technique will not cause him any trouble in this regard. He only needs to recite the water-avoiding technique when he goes into the water, and then he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

It means paying once and getting it free for life!

These two skills are very useful to him, especially the immobilization skill.

When fighting with a strong opponent, you can suddenly make his body pause. This moment can determine the outcome of the battle. It can be called a little magical skill!

Then Xia Chen stood up, looked at the people who were frozen and said, "I'm going to teach you a lesson this time, so you won't think about peeking at other girls taking a bath!"

"You will remain in this immobile position for three hours. After three hours, it will automatically release you. During this period, you cannot move or speak."

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You guys just sit here and reflect on your mistakes!"

After saying that, Xia Chen wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked outside.

Zoro also stood up at this time, walked around everyone, and then stopped next to Sanji. He mocked mercilessly:

"You perverted cook, I told you to be so bold! Didn't you see Nami and Xia Chen hugging each other yesterday? And you still want to peek?"

"Xia Chending, three hours is considered light for you!"

"Slutty chef, just stand here and wait. I'm leaving first. Hahahaha..."

Looking at Zoro's departing back, although Sanji couldn't speak, his eyes were full of anger.

Not towards Xia Chen, but towards Sauron.

"You green algae-head, I will make you into sashimi when I break the immobilization!"

……

As time passed, the news of Crocodile's defeat spread around the world.

Somewhere in the New World, on the Moby Dick~

"Here, this is the Bailey's from today's newspaper!" A man with a pineapple head took out a Bailey's and handed it to the newspaper bird.

Then he slowly opened the newspaper and started reading. After a while, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

Then he came to a huge man with a white crescent-shaped beard and said, "Dad, Crocodile was defeated by his brother that Ace mentioned last time!"

"Hmm?" The man with the white beard showed a curious look. He took the newspaper from Marco and started reading it.

After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"That Sand Crocodile guy is really shameful. He was defeated by a newcomer who just went to sea!"

"But he is quite courageous. He actually dared to steal the country!"

"Yes, nowadays the newcomers are more powerful than each other! I wonder if any of the Four Emperors will be brought down?" Marco also sighed.

"Gulala... Are you kidding me, Marco? It's just defeating a stray dog. They are still far from it!"

"And even if one of the Four Emperors falls, it won't be me. You know, I'm Whitebeard!"

"I'm happy today, let's have a party!"

"oh!!"

-

In another part of the sea, a one-armed, red-haired man was also reading a newspaper, with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Luffy, you've gotten stronger!"

At the same time, people all over the world basically knew the news, and the Straw Hat Pirates truly became famous all over the world this time.

At this time, in a conference room at the Navy Headquarters, Marinford.

A group of high-ranking naval officials sat here, including the marshal, three admirals and most of the lieutenant admirals.

At this time, everyone was silent and said nothing.

Finally, Admiral Zhan Guo looked at everyone and said calmly, "I'm sure everyone has more or less heard what the reason is for calling everyone here this time!"

"About Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, stealing the country!"

"But the decision in this regard is mainly made by the Holy Land. What our navy has to do is..."

Having said that, Sengoku took out the portraits of the Straw Hat Pirates one by one and placed them on the table, then slowly said:

"About the bounty on this pirate group!"
