Chapter 92

Crocodile was stunned, and so were everyone else.

"That… is it the cannonball you mentioned?" Luffy asked blankly.

"It should be… maybe?" Crocodile answered uncertainly.

Vivi and the others showed strange expressions at this time. They were so worried just now, but the crisis was solved without even a sip of water?

Was it a bit hasty?

But no matter what, at least the crisis is solved now. Vivi shouted happily: "Although I don't know who did it, I really thank him!"

Crocodile's expression was completely different from Vivi's. At this time, his face was gloomy, his eyes were full of anger, and he shouted loudly: "Who, who did it?"

"It was me!"

A faint male voice came.

"This voice is…" The moment Luffy and the other two heard this voice, they showed excitement on their faces. They turned their heads and saw Xia Chen and Mr. 2 walking slowly towards them.

"Xia Chen!!!"

o(╥﹏╥)o!

Luffy stretched out his body and rushed over to hug Xia Chen, with snot and tears pouring down his face.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't hold me so tight, your snot is rubbing against me…"

After a while, Xia Chen finally pulled Luffy off him.

At the same time, Zoro and Sanji also came over. Looking at Xia Chen, he asked happily: "Didn't that crocodile bastard say that you were captured by Aokiji? How did you escape?"

"Who said I escaped?" Xia Chen smiled faintly.

"Huh?" Hearing this, several people couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

Xia Chen didn't keep them in suspense, and explained directly: "I am just a clone now, my real body is still on Aokiji's ship, and I have been away from Alabasta for a few days!"

"What?!!"

Several people were shocked.

"Then you still didn't escape?" Sanji said with an ugly face.

"That's not the point!"

"Have I ever told you that… my real body and clone can swap positions at any time?" Xia Chen smiled at this.

"You mean…" Zoro seemed to have thought of something, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Yes, I can swap the positions of my clone and real body now. I didn't do it before because Aokiji's ship hadn't gone far. If he noticed it and came back, it would be troublesome!"

"It's still very difficult for us to fight Aokiji now. Once he comes back, it will inevitably affect our plan to save Alabasta!"

"But there is no such concern now. In this case, I will switch back now. It always feels weird to use the clone to walk around here all the time."

After saying that, Xia Chen closed his eyes.

…

At the same time, on a certain sea area of ​​the Grand Line. A navy warship is sailing here.

"Hey, Uncle Aokiji, help me cool it down!"

Xia Chen walked to Aokiji with a drink and said to him.

A black line flashed across Aokiji's face when he heard it. He hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing. He honestly released the cold air to cool Xia Chen's drink.

Xia Chen picked up the cup and took a big sip, and made a refreshing sound at the same time. After drinking, Xia Chen lay on the chair and said comfortably:

"Uncle Aokiji, don't say it, your navy's conditions are really good, which makes me want to change jobs!"

Hearing Xia Chen's words, Aokiji's eyes lit up and said: "If you have this idea, I can help you tell Marshal Zhan Guo, and you won't even have to be sentenced at that time!"

During this period, Aokiji also learned about Xia Chen's things, and knew that he had never killed a civilian.

Such a high bounty was also set because the scene of his battle with Hawkeye was captured at that time.

Moreover, during this period of time, Aokiji was also very optimistic about this young man and had long had the idea of ​​recruiting Xia Chen. Now that Xia Chen took the initiative to propose it, he was eager to let Xia Chen join them!

That's why he gave Xia Chen a lot of preferential treatment during this period, which was completely different from the attitude he should have towards a pirate.

Not only did he live well and eat well, but occasionally he, the admiral of the navy, would personally help him cool his drinks.

If the seastone handcuffs on Xia Chen's hands were thrown away, Xia Chen's life would be almost the same as his, and even more comfortable than his.

"Hahaha… Uncle Aokiji, I just said that, just joking!"

"I don't want to be a dog for the Celestial Dragons. I feel sick when I see them!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Aokiji's eyes condensed, looking at Xia Chen and asked: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course! Uncle Aokiji, don't you think those pigs of the Celestial Dragons are disgusting?"Aokiji did not answer. Although he did not have a good impression of those Celestial Dragons, the affairs of the World Government were not something he could discuss.

During the time he became an admiral, Aokiji gradually understood why his former senior Garp had always refused to be promoted to admiral.

Because after becoming an admiral, many things were not decided by him. Although he had more power, he had less freedom.

Thinking of this, Aokiji looked at Xia Chen with a little regret. When Xia Chen said this in public just now, it was impossible for him to join the navy.

The World Government would not allow people like Xia Chen to enter their subordinate institutions.

"Alas, another good seedling is missing!" Aokiji sighed in his heart.

At this time, after Xia Chen finished his drink, he looked at Aokiji and said, "Uncle Aokiji, thank you for your care during this period of time!"

"If we were not in different camps, I feel that we should be good friends!"

"Hmm?" Xia Chen's sudden words made Aokiji a little confused, but before he could react, Xia Chen said again:

"Next time we meet, Uncle Aokiji, let's practice again. I feel that I will not lose next time!"

After that, Xia Chen smiled and stood up.

"What do you mean?" Aokiji also stood up, staring at Xia Chen.

Xia Chen did not answer, but said directly: "Goodbye~ Uncle Aokiji!"

After the voice fell, Aokiji saw Xia Chen in front of him flashing, and then the breath on his body changed, and then he disappeared directly from the spot.

Only the sound of the seastone handcuffs falling to the ground was left.

Aokiji: !!!

…

The perspective returned to the palace. Xia Chen looked at Luffy and the others after a flash, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm back!"
