Xia Zheteng found a place, casually unfolded the recliner, sat down comfortably, took out some melon seeds, and prepared to watch the show.
Crocodile also looked in his direction. He was like this when he was fighting with Bamia before. How much does this guy love to join in the fun?
"Come on." Marco struck a stance and waved at Crocodile.
"Desert Sword." This time Crocodile attacked first. After his arm became huge, he slashed with the sand blade, cutting the ground open.
The huge sand blade attacked Marco.
Marco rushed forward, and when he was about to reach the Desert Sword, his entire body turned into a half-human, half-beast form.
When he was about to be hit, he suddenly jumped up, spread his wings with both hands, flew high, and then fell down diagonally, with his feet turning into phoenix claws, and kicked towards Crocodile quickly.
Crocodile stretched out his right hand and grabbed the bird's claw.
"Desert prison."
"Crane Kick."
The two men attacked at the same time and collided with each other. The powerful collision force caused a turbulent force to be generated here.
The vibration knocked over many of the mermaids and fishmen who were watching the fun, but only Xia Zheteng remained sitting steadily on the recliner, not moving at all.
[Ding, watching the fun value +270. ]
The battle between these two was much stronger than the previous battle between Crocodile and Bamiya.
Such strength is already very good. I remember when the Golden Lion first appeared, he just stood there, and the excitement value was only 200 per minute.
The two of them can reach nearly three hundred when fighting, which has exceeded Xia Zheteng's expectations.
"Just fight a few more times, I don't think either of you can do anything to the other."
One is the phoenix, and it wants to keep the other one by absorbing moisture, which is impossible.
The other one is from the nature system, and it is quite difficult to break the other party's elementalization. It will be fun to play with these two people.
Sure enough, the fight between the two was quite exciting. Although Marco was not a nature-type, he had a strong recovery ability, and the mythical beast Phoenix was no joke.
Since he was said to be immortal and had monstrous recovery abilities, Crocodile was unable to find a way to defeat him for a while.
As for Marco, he was also secretly surprised.
Crocodile only has a bounty of 8100 million berries, but surprisingly, he is on par with the veteran of the Whitebeard Pirates in terms of strength.
Both of them fought with real anger and exerted their full strength, posing a huge challenge to this empty space.
All the mountains under the sea were flattened.
"Desert Greatsword." The huge sharp blade blew towards Marco, and Marco quickly dodged it. A small hill over there had its top directly flattened.
"Phoenix Seal." The Phoenix Seal fell from the sky, smashing Half Crocodile into pieces, and then quickly merged together.
It is rare that desertified areas appeared under the sea, which shows Crocodile's ability.
"Stop it." A delicate voice came, and all the mermaids and mermen turned over there. Seeing the little goldfish man, all the mermaids and mermen stood back and saluted respectfully.
Xia Zheteng also looked over. There was a goldfish mermaid with wavy blonde hair, blue eyes, and a hairpin with a crown.
It was her, Lady Otohime, the mermaid who was working hard to coexist with humans.
At this time, Princess Otohime walked close to Xia Zheteng and suddenly stopped.
She looked at Xia Zheteng.
"You should be able to stop them, please ask them to stop."
Xia Zheteng sucked in a breath of cold air. Why did he feel like he was being controlled? Princess Otohime's naturally powerful observation Haki was indeed as good as its reputation.
Chapter 43: My Partner?
"You two, stop it, Princess Otohime is here."
Xia Zheteng glanced at Princess Otohime and had to say that this princess who had always worked hard for the mermen was not only beautiful, but most importantly, she had a temperament that could see through people's hearts, making people involuntarily want to obey her orders.
Taking two steps forward, Xia Zheteng was ready to separate the two men, but the two were obviously really angry with each other, and they rushed towards each other, and neither of them gave in.
"Sha Lan."
Perhaps because he saw that he couldn't defeat the opponent, Crocodile became serious.
Sha Lan appeared, formed a small sand tornado in his hand, and then threw it towards Marco.
Marco was naturally not willing to be outdone. Before the sand storm was about to form, he kicked it and directly kicked it away.
The key point is that this position is flying right towards Princess Otohime.
"These two guys." Xia Zheteng had to quickly stand in front of Princess Yiji.
There is no way. This weak mermaid princess would break her bones if she slaps someone. With such a physique, if Sha Lan hits her, she would probably be dead, and that would be a serious incident.
Given Princess Otohime's status on Fishman Island, Xia Zheteng felt that he and his companions would not be able to leave Fishman Island.
"Princess Otohime." The surrounding fishmen were also frightened, because a sand storm had already formed, and a huge sand tornado rushed towards Otohime.
Xia Zheteng's eyebrows twitched, and his armed Haki was concentrated on his arms. His observation Haki quickly found Sha Lan's node and punched him.
Boom! The fist collided with the whirlwind. Because Xia Zheteng used enough strength, the sand storm stopped. Finally, because there was no support from the back force, it all dissipated.
Xia Zheteng breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw that the two people on the other side were still fighting, he became furious.
I told you to stop, but you still kept fighting. You really don't regard me, a commodore, as your dry food, do you?
Thinking of this, Xia Zheteng clenched his fists and said, "Don't blame me then."
He shaved and instantly approached Marco. At this time, Marco was in half-beast form and was fighting hard when he suddenly felt someone appear beside him.
Marco looked over immediately and saw a huge fist facing him.
Bang! Although Marco changed his face into a phoenix form in time, he was still hit by the punch in the end. His entire face was deformed and flew backwards.
Finally, it crashed into a mountain and stopped, turning back into human form. Marco was grimacing in pain, this guy was so strong.
Xia Zheteng turned around again, blocked the sand blade thrown by Crocodile, and punched Crocodile in the stomach.
Crocodile covered his stomach and slid back a few meters before stopping.
It hurt a lot. Crocodile looked at Xia Zheteng and knew that the other party was very strong. Who would have thought that he was so strong that he could hurt himself who had turned into an element. He was definitely a master in using the Armament Haki.
"Princess Yiji is here, stop it, you almost hurt her just now." Xia Zheteng said coldly.
The two looked over and saw Princess Otohime standing on the other side.
"I'm so sorry." Marco scratched his head. Whitebeard protected Fishman Island and also had regulations for the crew. Marco was no stranger to Princess Otohime.
Crocodile frowned and showed no intention of apologizing at all.
Princess Yiji did not say anything, but walked up to Xia Zheteng and said, "If possible, please let me invite you to the palace for a chat."
"Is that so?" Xia Zheteng thought about it and finally shook his head.
During this period, Princess Otohime was trying to change the relationship between mermaids, fishmen, and humans, so when she came to entertain me, she would probably talk about this matter. Anyway, it's quite troublesome.
Xia Zheteng doesn't want to cause trouble at the moment. After all, in terms of strength, although some of his strength has reached the admiral level, it is still weaker than some monsters in this world.
It's good to grow quietly.
"Is that so?" Seeing Xia Zheteng's refusal, Princess Yiji lowered her head slightly to think for a while, and then said, "You are also a person who wants to change the world."
Xia Zheteng took a deep breath. To be honest, in front of Princess Otohime's special observation ability, some things really cannot be hidden.
Of course, Princess Otohime probably didn't know the specifics, such as how she still supported Ryu's revolutionary army, or how she watched the Celestial Dragons die without rescuing them in the West Sea.
It would be troublesome if all these specific events were seen through.
"But the power of one person is limited after all. I want to gather the strength of everyone. I believe that as long as all the mermen and fishmen unite, our voices will be heard by the world."
Xia Zheteng narrowed his eyes and was thinking about this matter in his mind.
To be honest, Princess Otohime almost changed the fate of Fishman Island, but unfortunately, she was assassinated in the end.
Xia Zheteng was thinking about whether or not to tell Princess Otohime about this matter. After all, looking at this petite figure with such positive energy in front of him, he really couldn't bear to watch her die.
"I see. Actually, Princess Otohime, your idea is good, but you also need to pay attention to your own safety. You should know that not all fishmen will listen to your remarks."
Princess Otohime also nodded. She understood this point, but she never backed down for her goal.
"If only one person does this, it will be very lonely. Only when you gather together trustworthy companions, maybe there will be a chance."
Princess Otohime seemed to be talking to herself, and after she finished speaking, she turned and left.
But these words made Xia Zheteng have a feeling in his heart that maybe she was right, partner?
Something is wrong. I seem to have been unconsciously influenced by Princess Otohime's observation Haki. It's hard to guard against it.
Xia Zheteng laughed, because on his panel, a new option appeared in the special ability, Observation Haki (human heart) 0 points.
Xia Zheteng does not intend to make further use of this ability. This ability is too special and of little use to Xia Zheteng.
As for partners, this is a choice. When you come to this world, you can find some special guys and form a team hidden behind the scenes.
That's great, but the key is, who should I look for? Right now, I really don't have a target.
The ones who are closest to him are Jizono and Kake, but the problem is that these two people will definitely not follow him in doing anything reckless.
The justice in their hearts is still on the side of the navy.
After thinking about it, Xia Zheteng could only come to one conclusion, which was to just go with the flow.
"Crocodile, come to Maladea Island in seven days. Tell your father and let's fight there." Marco said, enduring the pain on his face.
Crocodile made a sound, and it was obvious that this challenge was successful, but it seemed that it was not him who succeeded.
Xia Zheteng smiled and said, "That's right, there will be something fun to watch. I hope Crocodile can hold on a little longer."
Chapter 44: First Encounter with Whitebeard
Fishman Island Restaurant, where Xia Zheten and Crocodile are having dinner.
Xia Zheteng could clearly feel that there were more fishmen around them monitoring them.
It was obvious that after the fight just now, the residents of Fishman Island had already considered them to be dangerous elements.
But this is not bad either. At least Crocodile doesn't dare to be too arrogant now.
"With your strength, why do you have to follow me? With your strength, you have a place even in the new world, right?"
Crocodile looked at Xia Zheteng. The opponent's punch just now made him realize clearly that he was no match for Xia Zheteng.
"A seat? You also said that it was just a seat. What I want is not just this seat."
Crocodile frowned and looked deeply at the navy in front of him. It seemed that this navy was also a man with great ambitions.
Not only does he want a place, does it mean that he also intends to become the king of the sea, or like Rocks in the past?
Xia Zheteng didn't say anything more. With Crocodile's knowledge, he probably wouldn't be able to understand what he wanted.
"Okay, let's leave quickly after dinner. I don't want to be held back on Fishman Island."
After all, there is a lot of fun to see in the new world, and Xia Zheteng already has an idea in his mind, to find some trustworthy partners and slowly make this world lively.
It is really an interesting thing.
When we kill the Celestial Dragons, we might get some unexpected gains, and that would make things even more exciting.
Crocodile shuddered. Looking at Xia Zheteng who was smiling in front of him, he suddenly had a feeling that this man was actually quite scary.
After dinner, the two men got on the boat again. It was not until their boat left Fishman Island that the feeling of being monitored disappeared.
In the new world, there is a beautiful island ahead of the ship, Bica.
The whole island looks very peaceful, which makes it easy for people to feel a sense of belonging.
Stop the boat here and go ashore to replenish some supplies.
Xia Zheteng did not get off the boat. He sat on the deck, thinking in his mind. He felt that he had heard of the name Bika somewhere.
I shouldn't have heard of this place only after coming to this world. I should have known about it before.
Such a beautiful island should have left an impression on me.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Zheteng still couldn't figure out what it was, so he stopped thinking about it. The most important thing now was to watch the battle between Crocodile and Whitebeard.
In the previous battle with Marco, he also gained 2500 points of excitement value, but Xia Zheteng did not use it.
