Chapter 18
“Pirates!”
Merry immediately stopped in front of Kaya, opened his arms to protect her, “Miss, run!”
Kaya’s parents died in a shipwreck last year, suspected to be caused by pirates.
Kaya’s body was trembling slightly, but she finally mustered up the courage to push Merry away. Because of Usopp, he had a good impression of pirates, especially since their place was remote enough and had never been invaded by pirates.
“Please come in, guests.” Kaya took the initiative to invite.
“Miss.” Merry looked at Kaya in disbelief.
“It’s okay, Merry, they just saved us, didn’t they? I believe they are good pirates, warriors on the sea, and fighters for freedom.”
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows. Oh, he didn’t expect Kaya to be so eloquent. He couldn’t remember the specific details in the original book, but this should not be shown.
However, no matter what, she is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. She has received elite education since childhood. It is normal for her to have a good reaction on the spot.
Xia Chen also dispersed the spinning water ball in his hand.
Following them into the mansion, he directly stated his purpose. Kaya agreed on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and promised to help them build a pirate ship in the shortest time, but they had to help Xiluo Village to block the incoming Clo.
Although there was no direct evidence, Kaya felt that Clo would never give up and he would attack again.
A guy who was willing to give up his captain’s identity and serve as a butler for three years must have a big plan.
Before Luffy and Xia Chen had any reaction, Nami agreed decisively. It was great that she didn’t have to spend money.
After that, Xia Chen and his friends didn’t plan to delay. They went to the dock to make some arrangements. The area of this island is not small, more than 40 square kilometers, but there is only one Xiluo Village on the entire island, and the rest of the place is mountainous and woodland, with complex terrain.
Otherwise, Xia Chen would have used his observation color to scrape Clo out, but there were too many creatures such as mountain birds, fish and insects.
In such an environment, Xia Chen was greatly affected, and he would not risk his life.
Of course, the safety of Kaya and the others could not be ignored, after all, Kro’s target had always been Kaya.
Now that it was exposed, there was a high probability that he would kill people and slaughter the village.
So in the end, they discussed and took turns to guard, two people in a group.
Mainly considering that Nami had little actual combat power, and at the same time, because of Kaya’s request, they also needed to take the safety of Xiluobu Village below into consideration.
Three days passed, and there was no abnormality. Xia Chen had accumulated 10 draws.
That night, he had just held a barbell with a ton of barbell plates hanging on it, and was exercising daily.
Suddenly, he heard some noises.
His movements were a little stagnant, and then he quickly returned to normal.
“Water escape·Earth Net!” During this period, many areas suitable for fighting were adjusted by Xia Chen. In a blink of an eye, the ground in this area with the mansion as the core was soaked with water.
But the invader did not notice this subtle change. He hid in the dark, like a leopard cat waiting for prey, very patient.
He even deliberately suppressed his breathing and heartbeat, but unfortunately he did not know that although the observation Haki has the power of “hearing”, it is essentially an extension of spiritual ability.
Although Xia Chen has not been able to achieve virtual imaging yet, it is still enough to deal with a Clo.
Clo’s body is like a spring, and it has collapsed to the limit. He is only 30 meters away from Xia Chen. With his current ability of silent steps, he can easily reach him in less than a second. What’s more, he went back to review the previous battles in the past few days, absorbed lessons, and improved his silent steps. This time it will be more concealed.
The fact that the other party did not notice him until he touched this side is the best evidence.
But for some reason, there is always a sense of crisis in my heart.
Boom!
An explosion suddenly came from the port.
“Opportunity!” He clearly saw Xia Chen turned his head and looked in the direction of the port.
Silent Step, start!
The cat claw blades on the palms of his hands flashed coldly under the hazy moonlight. He pushed the ground with his back feet and appeared behind Xia Chen like teleporting, slashing fiercely.
Blood and water splashed in clusters, no, water splashes? !
Clo’s pupils suddenly shrank into a small dot, and he quickly stepped on the ground to prepare to start the upgraded version of Silent Step, the spoon, which would be faster.
Although the direction would be random, it was a pity that it was too late!
The big hand formed by the flowing water grabbed his ankle, causing Clo to pause, and the “Xia Chen” that had exploded before had turned into water, wrapping him up and startingIt began to spin rapidly, forming a spherical water prison.
“You… Gurgle!” The water prison was getting bigger and bigger. Even Cloe could only struggle in vain, floating in the water prison, with no foothold at all.
Fortunately, his physique was not bad, and he was not choked to death at the first time, but as the water ball became bigger and bigger, and the speed of rotation became faster and faster, he could not bear it. He vaguely saw Xia Chen, who walked out of the gate of the mansion, followed by three people.
“It’s really a natural system!!” At this moment, Cloe felt that he had lost.
The devil fruit is quite famous, but compared to the Grand Line, the information that the four seas can obtain is limited, and the world government deliberately suppresses the spread of information. But Cloe’s ability is extraordinary. He has long known the relevant information of the devil fruit, and he knows that the devil fruit is divided into superhuman system, animal system and the most unsolvable natural system.
His rash action this time was actually to gamble that Xia Chen was not a natural system!
Unfortunately, he failed.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as his men succeed. In fact, they have observed the logic of Xia Chen’s actions these days, and they are sure that they are not pirates. After all, how can pirates protect the village?
Only those nosy pirate hunters would do such stupid things.
So he arranged for his men to kidnap the villagers in the village, and then he could retreat safely by threatening the lives of the villagers.
If he fails, he fails. After all, he really can’t deal with the natural system.
After Xia Chen made sure that he had completely controlled Kuro, he turned and said to the people behind him.
“Nami, you protect them, I will help Luffy and Zoro.”
“Me? I can’t, I…” Nami refused immediately. She wanted to stay with Xia Chen, which was the safest way.
“You can do it!” Xia Chen smiled softly, put his two fingers together, and gently tapped Nami’s head.
“Ouch!” Although it didn’t hurt, for some reason, Xia Chen often poked her like this during this period, and it felt good and not annoying.
After that, Xia Chen took Clo away.
Clo was almost unable to hold back his breath. He believed that Xia Chen would definitely talk to him, but he didn’t expect that after walking on the hillside for a while and making sure that there was no one around.
The water flow, which was originally full of restraint, suddenly became sharp.
Two water knives that seemed to be there and not there, directly cut off the arteries and tendons of his limbs… I am useless!
This was Clo’s first thought.
Then why didn’t this guy play by the rules, when he had clearly designed the next 5678 steps for him!
Unfortunately, he couldn’t muster any strength to resist, and could only watch Xia Chen put his palm on his head.
“Collect, ten consecutive!”
