Chapter 78

"Demon King Xia Chen!"

Looking at the man in front of him, Smoker's face was solemn. The injury he suffered last time was still aching!

"What are you doing here?"

"To buy something!" Xia Chen said with his hands spread out.

"Pirates come here just to buy something?"

"Well, I told you and you don't believe it, then what can I do?" Xia Chen was a little helpless. Why is it that no one believes the truth these days?

"So, what are you going to do now, Colonel Smoker!" Xia Chen looked at Smoker and said lightly.

"Of course, I will arrest you!" As he said that, white smoke began to emerge from Smoker's body.

"If you think so, I advise you to forget it. I think you should know the difference in strength between us. You… can't be my opponent!"

"So what? Even if I'm not your opponent, as long as I'm still a marine, I won't let a pirate like you get away with it!"

"Hey, hey, hey, be careful with your words. What do you mean by a pirate like me? Have I done anything?" Xia Chen retorted unceremoniously.

"Even if you haven't done anything, it's only temporary. Pirates are pirates and can never change their evil nature."

"Oh, when did you, a white-haired bastard, talk like Akainu?"

Xia Chen was a little unhappy. He was talking to you politely, but you were so arrogant, right? In that case…

Xia Chen's eyes turned cold, and he appeared in front of Smoker the next moment, with Ryusakura Armament Haki wrapped around his fist, and hit Smoker's stomach heavily.

Smoker was still wondering whether Xia Chen had seen Akainu, but Xia Chen had appeared in front of his face at some point, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and then his eyes went black, and he instantly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Why bother?"

Xia Chen looked at the fallen Smoker and said lightly.

If it weren't for the fact that Smoker was a navy with a real sense of justice, he would have sent him down to have tea with Qu Yuan.

For this kind of navy, if he didn't really provoke him, he would probably not kill him.

This is not to say that he is a saint, but because the pirate world does need such a navy to maintain it.

Although he is a pirate, he actually doesn't have a good impression of most pirates.

Just as Smoker said, most pirates are burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Massacres of civilians are simply commonplace and easy to do. In a sense, they are even more evil than the Celestial Dragons.

But you can't just generalize a person. Like him, he must be a good pirate, right?

Yeah! At least he thinks so!

Then Xia Chen turned to look at Chopper and said, "Chopper, let's go. It's time to go back to find Luffy and the others. We have been delayed by this stupid navy for a while. Who knows what will happen if we go back too late…"

…

After a while~

Xia Chen looked at the five people who stayed in the same place and couldn't help but slightly support his forehead.

Damn, the thing I was worried about still happened!

"Nami, where is that idiot Luffy?"

"I don't know!" Nami shook her head.

"He was still here at the beginning, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye!"

"That idiot, always causing trouble for others!"

"This is the clothes I bought, you can change into them, and we will go find him together!" Xia Chen pretended to be normal and took out the clothes from the system space and handed them to them.

After a while~

"Xia Chen, this clothes… is it for a dancing girl?" Weiwei asked uncertainly.

"Ah? I don't know! I just thought it looked good, so I bought it!" Xia Chen said as if he knew nothing.

At this time, Sanji came over and put his arm around Xia Chen's shoulders, secretly giving him a thumbs up. Xia Chen also responded with his eyes.

Men, I understand men the best!

But to be honest, Vivi's capital… is quite sufficient!

…

"Golden apple?"

"You can live for a thousand years if you eat one? Really?"

(☆▽☆)!

Chopper and Usopp looked at the golden apple in the hands of the vendor in front of them and asked in shock.

"Of course it's real, honest and trustworthy. Seeing that you two are so sincere, it only costs one thousand berries, and you can take this golden apple!"

The vendor said to the two people with an expression that he had lost money, but he was secretly laughing in his heart: "I fooled two fools again!"

"Boss, is this apple originally golden, or was it painted with paint later?" A voice asked faintly.

"Of course it was born!" The vendor answered subconsciously, but suddenly seemed to realizeWhat, he turned his head and looked.

I saw Xia Chen was pulling open the cloth behind him and watching his clerk applying dye.

"Ah this…" Sweat instantly flowed down the forehead of the vendor.

"Hehe!"

"Don't say it, although this golden apple is fake, it tastes really good!" Sauron said after taking a bite of the golden apple in his mouth.

"It's really okay, especially the layer of juice on it, which makes the taste of this apple go up a level!" Xia Chen said lightly.

Just now, Xia Chen just wanted to expose that boss, but he accidentally discovered that the dye he used to apply was actually a golden juice.

So, the original anti-counterfeiting turned into coercion!

He directly threatened the boss to give him a big bag of apples and a big bucket of that juice. If he didn't give it, he would expose him and let everyone know that he was a liar.

Under this series of operations, now everyone has eaten free golden apples!

Since Smoker shouts that pirates are evil every day, isn't it okay for him to do something that pirates should do?

While thinking, Xia Chen took another bite of the apple.

So sweet!

"Ace, why are you here?"

Just as they were walking, a shout suddenly came from a restaurant next to them.

Everyone looked over at the moment they heard the voice.

As expected, they found their target!

…

At this time, inside the restaurant, Luffy looked at Ace in front of him with joy.

He originally just wanted to change his taste and eat something else, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

He met his brother Ace who went to sea three years earlier than him.

At this moment, he was undoubtedly excited, and even the speed of putting food in his mouth was a little slower.

And because of Xia Chen's action, Smoker, who was supposed to be here, was also missing.

The two of them chatted while eating in the restaurant.

"Luffy, are you full?" Ace suddenly asked Luffy.

"Not bad, not too full!"

Hearing this, Ace smiled.

"Then… how about a competition to see who eats more?"

"(⊙o⊙)…"

Luffy was stunned for a moment, and then he and Ace started to eat the food on the table at the same time.

When both of them found that the other party started eating without even saying hello, they pointed at each other and said at the same time:

"You cheated!"

The next moment, the two of them buried their heads in eating again.

I can only say that they are brothers, and the movements are exactly the same!
