Chapter 75
He also ran to Rapeseed Harbor overnight and used water clones to create the figures of several of them, and the scene of them fleeing in a hurry on the Merry.
After that, he took a detour back, and it was already 12 o’clock in the evening after all the processing.
“Sign in successfully, congratulations to the host for obtaining one collection time.”
“Are you not coming out yet? Robin.” Xia Chen stood on the rooftop and said to the shadow next to him.
There was still no sound coming from inside, but after two seconds, Robin, who was still dressed in the daytime, could not come out, “Oh, Lord Xia Chen, it’s so late, why don’t you rest?”
“You are a hard-working person!” Xia Chen glanced at her and continued to look at the lively Albana Street below.
“What are you looking at?”
“Nothing, I was wondering why you came to see me so late?” Xia Chen came to Robin in a silent step, and the distance between him and her was less than a fist, and the warm breath came to her face. Robin subconsciously retreated, but finally restrained this impulse.
Still smiling, she stretched out her hand and gently pressed on Xia Chen’s chest, her soft fingers slowly stroking, “Can’t Lord Xia Chen guess it?”
“Robin, I can see that you are not such a person.” That’s what she said, but Xia Chen grabbed Robin’s hand. The latter twitched almost instinctively. Although he deliberately restrained himself, the reaction at that moment was the most real.
“What are you talking about? Lord Xia Chen.” Robin tried to hide her inner panic. It was obviously the first time they met, but she always felt that the person in front of her knew her very well. At this time, the look he gave her was full of tolerance and pity.
This is very strange.
After all, her reputation in the dark world is not good.
“I mean Robin, we are all people on the same boat in the future. There is no need to wrong yourself. Do whatever you want, talk, laugh, and cry as you want.” Xia Chen said gently.
Robin had never heard of such words before. Even those who recruited him before were either attracted by her bounty or her ability.
And they are all so hypocritical.
But she didn’t feel any falsehood from Xia Chen, he said everything from the heart.
Is it appropriate for Xia Chen to be so gentle to a stranger… who was once an enemy?
And why? Just because she is a woman and has some beauty?
It’s not enough.
Nami is actually not inferior to herself, and she can see that Nami and Xia Chen have a special relationship. Xia Chen, who was very nervous before, even has hostility towards her. This hostility is not the kind of “enemy” that puts the other party to death, but regards herself as a competitor.
While she was thinking, Xia Chen let go of Robin’s hand and walked straight to the recliner next to him.
“Rub my shoulders for me, I’m so tired after fighting several battles today!”
Looking at the defenseless Xia Chen, Robin couldn’t understand it. Is she really still a person who can be trusted?
To be honest, even Robin herself is not confident.
Deception, black belly, rebellion, backstabbing, these occupied all her previous life.
But she still obediently walked to the recliner next to Xia Chen and sat down, crossed her hands, activated the ability of the Flower-Flower Fruit, and created several small hands to knead the main joints of Xia Chen’s body.
In fact, this is very dangerous. After all, as long as she wants, she can use her ability to control Xia Chen.
In Robin’s current cognition, no matter how powerful an ordinary person is, once his joints are controlled, he can’t even think about exerting his strength.
But Robin didn’t do that. Apart from other things, according to the information she obtained, this Xia Chen is suspected to be a natural fruit ability user.
The natural system is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
Robin already has the concept of domineering, but she doesn’t know how to do it, and no one has ever taught her.
Robin’s craftsmanship is very exquisite. Xia Chen fell asleep unknowingly. Although he fought like a whirlwind in today’s battle, he has never experienced such a strong battle since he went to sea, except for the time when he was chased by Garp.
He glanced at Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper with sleepy eyes, and woke himself up. They ran to the rooftop to play early in the morning.
“Xia Chen, are you awake? Sanji asked me to call you for dinner!”
“Deputy Captain, although you have a strong physique, sleeping outside at night is not good for your health.” Chopper said.
“Xia Chen, what about that Gal Dino?”
Xia Chen sat up, pinched Hun Dun’s head, took the glass of orange juice that Chopper brought over, and drank it all in one gulp.
“Thank you, Chopper!”
“Hehe, even if you praise me, I won’t thank you, Bakayal…” With Chopper’s personality, and everyone in the pirate group,Everyone had a good time, but Chopper was most grateful to Xia Chen.
Xia Chen’s praise was many times greater than others.
“Next, just hand him over to the Royal Guards and explain to them the identity of the criminals in Baroque Studio. After all, it is their country’s own business, so we should not interfere too much. And Lao Sha should also be handed over?”
“Okay, Vice Captain.” Usopp pulled the two people who were still arguing downstairs.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do at this moment, Xia Chen picked and absorbed the things he got yesterday, but left the elementalization to the end, and he did not choose to use the skills of absorbing water and controlling sand.
This was dispensable to him, and he still put it in his backpack and waited to see if it would be useful in the future.
Then he took out a fruit with his backhand. This fruit was the natural sand-sand fruit picked from Crocodile. It did not look full, but the pattern on it was still curled and complicated. Xia Chen used his consciousness to sense it. Except for the curse of the sea, the rest of the things could not be sensed.
Although this fruit is very dependent on the terrain, it is undoubtedly a very powerful fruit. If Crocodile’s domineering power is stronger and more, and Xia Chen’s information is not well hidden, Xia Chen might fail this time.
“I don’t know what else is left in this fruit besides the curse of the sea. How about collecting it and trying it?”
As soon as he said it, Xia Chen threw it up with a collection technique. This was his first time collecting devil fruits. Although he now has the light fruit, wax fruit and imitation fruit, all three are complete products. Xia Chen is reluctant to do experiments casually.
He has also reserved these fruits for other people, but he has to find a way to remove the defect of seastone.
But there is a problem. There is no way to return the things you have collected.
After all, although they can be stored in Xia Chen’s backpack, they are actually just a kind of energy that no one else can use except Xia Chen.
Of course, the real objects are different.
As long as they are taken out, they can be used by others, just like the clown suit that Xia Chen threw on Garp at that time.
But there is also a problem. Xia Chen can choose to give it to others, and others cannot cancel it on their own. Some fruit abilities with bug-level abilities have such effects, not to mention the god-level collection technique that is much higher than the fruit ability.
“Collection is successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the message in the wind!”
“This again?”
Xia Chen was a little surprised. This thing only appeared when Xia Chen directly collected air before, and the two messages he collected had been kept in his backpack and had not been used or taken care of.
But this time he immediately chose to use the message in the wind.
“God who created the three kings, please give us the power to control the desert!”
