Chapter 45

The secret is still there.

"Secret!"

Hearing this, Crocus looked at Xia Chen deeply, but in the end he did not continue to delve into this topic. Instead, he said, "Since you have no ill intentions, if you want to go out, you can go out through that iron door!"

Crocus pointed to an iron door next to him and said.

"Hey! There is a door in the belly of a whale?" Luffy's eyes widened.

"By the way, are these paintings all drawn by you, old man?" Usopp also asked.

"Yes! This is just a little hobby of mine in my spare time as a doctor!"

"Doctor?"

Luffy's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this word. He said happily: "Then, Uncle Chrysanthemum, come on board my ship and be my ship's doctor~"

"Stupid, what are you talking about? Do you think my 71-year-old body can still go on a spree with you? I might die halfway!"

"Ah~ So that's it! That's a pity!"

"Okay, no more talk, the door is over there, I'll take you out!"

As soon as Crocus stood up, the entire sea of ​​gastric acid began to shake.

Seeing this, his eyes condensed and he immediately jumped into the sea of ​​gastric acid.

"Uncle Chrysanthemum!" Luffy shouted.

"Won't he be corroded by gastric acid like this?" Sanji said with cold sweat.

Xia Chen said: "No, as a doctor, he is very familiar with his physique, don't worry about this problem!"

Then everyone saw Crocus coming out from somewhere, and then climbed onto the platform he built to give Lab an injection of sedative.

Not long after the tranquilizer was injected, everyone found that the gastric acid sea that had been shaking began to slowly calm down. Finally, it returned to the calm state before.

"What is this... What is going on?" Nami asked in horror.

"Lab is hitting the Red Earth Continent!"

"Huh?" After hearing Xia Chen's words, Crocus, who had swam back again, immediately turned his head and stared at him. He asked that question again.

"How do you know this?"

"Old man, I've said it, this is a secret! I'm just an ordinary person who knows a lot of things!"

"For example, I also know... something about you!"

"Mr. Crocus, the doctor on the ship of Pirate King Roger!"

!!!

When Xia Chen said this, not only Crocus was shocked, but even his companions behind him were also petrified on the spot. Then they all shouted loudly:

"The Pirate King's... ship doctor?"

Kurokas looked at Xia Chen deeply again, as if he could see through him.

Xia Chen smiled faintly and looked at him as well.

After a long time, Kurokas said slowly: "Young man, you do know a lot! But I can see that there is no malice in your eyes. In this case, I won't ask so many questions!"

"Because you know that I won't tell you even if you ask, it's better not to ask," Xia Chen replied faintly.

Kurokas: . . . .

Young man, do you dare to give me a little more face?

At this time, everyone finally recovered from the news that Kurokas was the Pirate King's ship doctor. Luffy asked excitedly: "Uncle Chrysanthemum, did you find one pieces?"

"Yes! That's right!" Kurokas nodded.

"Do you want me to tell you what's there?" Kurokas teased.

"No!" Luffy refused firmly.

"I will eventually become the Pirate King with my own ability and find one piece!"

Looking at the determination on Luffy's face, Crocus was also infected for a moment, as if he saw a man who said this sentence with high spirits many years ago.

When he came to his senses, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Boy, it's not so easy to be the Pirate King. Even if you may pay the price of your life for it, don't you regret it?"

"I don't care, I want to be the Pirate King!"

Crocus looked at Luffy steadily. After a long time~

"Hahaha... Then I wish you good luck!"

Crocus wanted to say something, but suddenly a man and a woman's voice came from above.

"Old man, die!"

Crocus just turned his head and found a cannonball flying towards him, and couldn't help but shed a few drops of cold sweat.

Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and between the flick of his fingers, a few tiny slashes rushed out.

"Bang!"

The cannonball flew straight in the air

The bomb exploded one after another, and then Xia Chen turned his sight to the two people above.

One was a girl with blue hair and ponytail, and the other was a man wearing a crown and with 9 painted on both sides of his cheeks.

"Mr. 9, Miss. Wednesday, what are you doing here?"

"Huh???"

The two were about to fire the second shell, and they were stunned when they heard Xia Chen's words.

How could this person... know them?

They were very shocked at the moment, but they didn't know that the people behind them were even more shocked.

Although it was said that Xia Chen knew a lot of things before, how did he know that he knew more recently? He knows everything you ask!

The key is that he knows the two people who suddenly appeared now, which is a bit outrageous!

Morgans's intelligence is not as good as yours, right?

"Who are you? Why do you know our names?"

"Me? You don't even know me? What do you two do for a living?" Xia Chen put on an angry look.

This familiar tone, this familiar accent, this familiar expression. The people behind him instantly understood Xia Chen's thoughts.

As expected, he's going to start the show!

Hmm? ? ?

Mr.9 and Miss. Wednesday were even more confused, and at the same time, they were inexplicably angry.

"No, who are you? Why should we know you?"

"Haha! You two haven't read the information sent by the club recently when you were on the mission, right?" Xia Chen said with a sneer.

Hearing this, the two were shocked. Indeed, they had been trying to kill the whale during this period, so they didn't receive any notification from the club at all.

Could it be... that the person in front of them is a new cadre in the club?

Just as they were still thinking, Xia Chen's voice came again.

"Listen to me, I am Mr.1 newly appointed by the boss, do you know now?"

! ! !

"Mr.1? This is much higher than their level! The strongest person under the boss!"

Instantly, a trace of fear rose in the hearts of the two.

"I'm sorry, Mr. 1, we didn't receive the message before, so we didn't recognize you, please forgive me!" Mr. 9 bowed and said.

Miss. Wednesday next to him didn't respond immediately, but was thinking about something. After a while, she smiled.

"I say, you should pretend to be more like Mr. 1, right? You can't be Mr. 1 at all!"

"Oh~ Why do you think so?" Xia Chen asked with a smile.

Miss. Wednesday smiled confidently.

"Because..."
