Xia Chen had not expected Bellamy to help them.
However, Xia Chen only thought about this briefly and did not care about it. What he wanted to know more now was what happened during the time between when he fell and when Luffy and others came.
Why did the body of Golden Lion disappear out of thin air? Did he not die?
No, it was impossible!
This idea only appeared in Xia Chen's mind for a moment before he rejected it. Golden Lion was already exhausted at that time, he was sure of this.
So now it's back to the past, what happened during that time?
Xia Chen suddenly felt that things seemed to be getting interesting, and he couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Interesting!"
It's better not to let him know who took Golden Lion away. If you dare to take his spoils, you're going to die!
Just as Xia Chen's thoughts were surging, Luffy suddenly shouted:
"Then Xia Chen, did you defeat Golden Lion?"
"No!" Xia Chen shook his head and continued, "I can be considered the person who directly caused Golden Lion's death, but I didn't defeat him!"
? ? ?
Everyone was stunned when they heard what Xia Chen said.
You killed someone, but you still don't consider it as defeating him?
Looking at their eyes, Xia Chen knew what they were thinking, and reluctantly told them the story again.
——
"So, after he pulled out the rudder on his head, he would die even if you didn't fight him?"
"Yes! That's right! It's just that the fight with me accelerated the process!" Xia Chen nodded and replied.
"But to be honest, the strength of the Golden Lion after being released is too strong. At this stage, I am not his opponent at all!"
"You are already very strong, and you can fight with a strong man of this level for ten minutes!" Robin retorted on the side.
Compared with Luffy and the others, Robin has a wider vision, and naturally knows the breadth of the world.
According to her estimation, there are not many people who can beat Xia Chen with the strength he has shown now.
Thinking of this, Robin couldn't help but look at Xia Chen.
"This young brother is very strong~"
…
"Hey, uncle, you have been here for so long, have you never thought of going up to the sky?" Xia Chen said to Kulikai.
After Xia Chen and the others said they wanted to go to Sky Island, Kulikai thought about it and decided to help them and transform their Merry to the point where it could go up to the sky.
"Idiot! What nonsense are you talking about? If you are not careful at such a high place, you will die!"
Kulike said while reinforcing the Merry.
Since Xia Chen did not let the Merry suffer any damage along the way, the current Merry is much better than it was in the original book.
No need to repair, just a simple reinforcement.
Xia Chen was lying here watching them work, while Luffy and the others went to find Nan Nan Jian Tiao.
Although he has nothing to do now, he is still mentally tired! He needs to rest!
After a while, he saw that Kulikai and the others were almost done.
Xia Chen shouted directly at them: "Hey, uncle, ape, gorilla! Bring your brothers over here, I'll treat you to dinosaur meat!"
"Oh!"
After a while~
Luffy and his friends came back not long after Xia Chen finished grilling the dinosaur meat.
"Hey, Xia Chen, you're so mean. We worked so hard to catch birds, and you're secretly eating dinosaur meat here?"
"Huh?" Xia Chen looked at him in confusion, and then looked at Kulikai and others.
"Did we eat secretly? Isn't this eating openly?"
"Oh, that's right!" Luffy, the brainless man, immediately agreed with Xia Chen's words, and then happily ran over to pick up the meat and put it in his mouth.
After taking a bite of meat, Kulikai reminded: "It's already one in the morning. If you want to sleep, go and sleep. I guess the time when the Ascension Current will appear is about noon tomorrow, but the exact time is unclear! So we have to set off early tomorrow morning!"
"Hahaha… I'm so excited that I can't sleep now when I think about going to Sky Island tomorrow!" Luffy said happily.
Seeing Luffy like this, Chopper and Usopp only want to say one thing.
They can't sleep either, but they can't sleep because they are afraid!
In the end, everyone decided to take a nap. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Maintaining a good sleep is the most important thing!
But Xia Chen didn't go. He still lay outside looking at the stars, and his thoughts drifted to the sky.
"Sky Island? I'm a little looking forward to it…"
…
Dawn breaks, and the sun rises!
The sun at 6 o'clock in the morning has already shone on Jaya Island.
"Hey! Everyone, let's go!"Luffy stood on the newly built chicken head of the Merry and said to everyone.
"Can this really fly?" Nami asked doubtfully while looking at the brand new Merry.
"Indeed! Why do we need a chicken head instead of a pigeon head? After all, a pigeon can fly better than a chicken, right?" Zoro walked over and nodded.
"Is that the question!!"
Nami was almost convinced. What kind of thinking do these people have?
After packing up, everyone boarded the ship one by one. At the same time, two ships appeared beside Merry.
Kulikai shouted to the apes: "Listen, people of the Saruyama Joint Forces, we must send them to the sky, understand?"
"Oh!"
The people on the ape and gorilla ships responded at the same time.
"Uncle, goodbye! I will definitely prove to you the existence of the Golden Country!" Luffy waved goodbye to Kulikai.
"Tsk, brat, don't brag so quickly!"
"Hehehe…"
With Kulikai watching, the three ships slowly sailed away.
"Make sure you arrive safely, brats!"
——
"Oh~ This bird is so interesting, it really keeps pointing at the bow!" Luffy's trio and Xia Chen, a total of four people, all pointed at Nan Nan Jian Tiao.
"Don't say, it's really interesting!" Xia Chen also looked at the bird with interest, then went over and bent its head to the side with his hands, but it quickly bounced back by itself.
"Hehehe!"
Then several people went over and bent its head. Then they all laughed.
At this time, Nan Nan Jian Tiao looked at the people in front of him and was very unhappy.
Abuse of small animals, right? Be careful, I will go to the Animal Protection Association to sue you!
A few hours later~
A huge, thick black cloud appeared in front of everyone. The ape looked at the cloud and said to them: "Look, that's the Jidi cloud. The appearance of this means that the location of the current explosion is not far from us!"
At this time, the gorilla also said to his subordinates: "The sea exploration submarine will be dispatched, and immediately go to the sea to explore the location of the current!"
Then he began to show his unique skills, took out a microphone and howled.
Ten seconds later, a person first appeared.
"Report, a large current appeared at twelve o'clock!"
"A large marine creature was detected at the nine o'clock direction, which may be a sea king!"
"There is a direction opposite to the current at ten o'clock, which may be a whirlpool!"
"That's it, head towards the ten o'clock direction!" The ape shouted. Then the three ships turned around.
Not long after, a huge whirlpool appeared in front of them…
