In the palace bathhouse…
Several men and a reindeer surrounded a man, with ugly expressions on their faces.
Looking at the group of people staring at him, Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"What are you doing?"
"Why? You have such a strong capital?" Sanji said with an ugly face.
Others had the same idea as Sanji. They looked at Xia Chen's and compared their own, and a sense of gap was created.
After a long time, Cobra looked at Xia Chen and said faintly: "I actually feel… you are more suitable to be the king!"
Xia Chen: . . . .
After being shocked, everyone jumped directly into the bath and fluttered hard.
After a while, Sanji suddenly asked Ikalem: "Do you know where the women's bathhouse is?"
"I can't tell you even if I know, bastard!" Ikalem yelled.
Who knew that Cobra, the old man, yelled directly at everyone.
"It's behind this wall!"
Hearing this, Sanji stood up immediately in surprise and said to Cobra: "You are so nice!"
He was about to go to the women's bathhouse to find out what was going on. At the same time, Luffy and others followed him out of curiosity.
Seeing this scene, Xia Chen shook his head slightly and sighed.
"This group of people is really hopeless!"
Then he uttered a word lightly.
"Fixed!"
The moment the voice fell, the bodies of all the people around were directly fixed in place and could not move.
"Ah, these idiots!" Zoro also sighed, but the next second, he found that Luffy and others were all frozen in place and could not move. He could not help but immediately alert.
At the same time, he said to Xia Chen next to him: "Xia Chen, have you noticed that Luffy and others seem to be unable to move?"
"Yeah! Found it!" Xia Chen said lightly.
"I did it!"
This sentence directly swallowed the two words "enemy attack" stuck in Zoro's throat.
"You did it?" Zoro asked in confusion.
"Yes! I froze them all. This is the latest fruit ability I developed!"
Yes, Xia Chen is now using the immobilization technique used by Monkey King. Recently, when he was on Aokiji's ship and had nothing to do, he studied the devil fruit. Unexpectedly, he really found something.
One of them is this immobilization technique, which can freeze the target. The length of time depends on his strength and the strength of the opponent.
If he wants to deal with Luffy, Luffy will be frozen here forever.
Another one is the water avoidance technique. This spell directly solves the problem that he can't breathe underwater, and the one he has realized on this spell is even more powerful than the original version of Monkey King.
In the original version, Monkey King always shirks when he encounters a situation where he needs to fight underwater. Monkey King himself also admitted that his underwater skills are not very good when he was in the Quicksand River.
The reason is that Monkey King needs to keep reciting the water avoidance technique when he goes into the water, which consumes his energy.
This makes him unable to fight with all his strength, which affects his strength. (The content is found on the Internet, if there is anything wrong, please correct me!)
Xia Chen's current water-avoiding technique will not have this problem. He only needs to give himself a water-avoiding technique when he goes into the water, and then he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
It means that you pay once and it's free for life!
These two skills are very useful to him, especially the immobilization technique.
When fighting with a strong man, suddenly let the opponent's body pause, this moment can determine the outcome of the battle, which can be called a small magic skill!
Then Xia Chen stood up, looked at the people who were immobilized and said: "This time I will teach you a little lesson, so that you can't think about peeping at other girls taking a bath!"
"You will maintain this immobile posture for three hours, and it will automatically be released after three hours. During this period, you can't move or speak."
"Okay, I'm leaving first, you can slowly face the wall and reflect on your mistakes here!"
After that, Xia Chen wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked out.
Zoro also stood up at this time, walked around the crowd, and then stopped next to Sanji. He mocked mercilessly:
"Slutty chef, I told you to be so bold! Didn't you see Nami and Xia Chen hugging each other yesterday? You still want to peek?"
"Xia Chen's three hours of imprisonment is already a light punishment!"
"Slutty chef, just stand here slowly, I'm leaving first, hahaha…"
Looking at Zoro's departing back, Sanji couldn't speak, but his eyes were full of anger.
Not towards Xia Chen, but towards Zoro.
"You green algae head, I will make you into sashimi when I release the imprisonment!"
…As time passed, the news of Crocodile's defeat spread all over the world.
Somewhere in the New World, on the Moby Dick~
"Here, this is the Bailey in today's newspaper!" A pineapple-headed man took out a Bailey and handed it to the newspaper bird.
Then he slowly opened the newspaper and read it, and after a while, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
Then he came to the side of a huge man with a white crescent-shaped beard and said, "Dad, Crocodile was defeated by his brother that Ace mentioned last time!"
"Huh?" The man, Whitebeard, showed a curious look. He took the newspaper from Marco and read it.
After a while, he suddenly laughed.
"Sand Crocodile is really shameful. He was defeated by a newcomer who just went to sea!"
"But he is very brave. He dared to steal the country!"
"Yes, the newcomers nowadays are more powerful than each other! I wonder if any of the Four Emperors will be brought down?" Marco also sighed.
"Gulala… What a joke, Marco! It's just defeating a stray dog, they are still far from it!"
"And even if one of the Four Emperors falls, it won't be me, you know I'm Whitebeard!"
"Have fun today, let's have a party!"
"Oh!!"
——
In another sea area, a one-armed, red-haired man was also reading a newspaper. A smile appeared on his face.
"Luffy, you've become stronger!"
At the same time, people all over the world basically knew the news, and the Straw Hat Pirates really became famous in the world this time.
At this time, in a conference room in Marineford, the headquarters of the Navy.
A group of high-ranking naval officials sat here, including the marshal, the three admirals and most of the vice admirals.
At this time, everyone was silent and said nothing.
Finally, Admiral Sengoku looked at everyone and said calmly: "I think everyone has more or less heard about why we called you here this time!"
"About Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, stealing the country!"
"But the decision in this regard is mainly made by the Holy Land. What we have to do in the Navy is…"
At this point, Sengoku took out the portraits of the Straw Hat Pirates one by one and placed them on the table, then slowly said:
"About the bounty of this pirate group!"
