As for the 500 million Baileys robbed from Colonel Mouse, haha, if he could have robbed a penny from him, there would be no need to rob money from civilians here. The risk is high and the profit is low.
Xia Zheteng finally understood that the appearance of this fake Xia had really turned the place into a mess.
But it’s useful.
"Damn it." Kizaru was so angry.
"By the way, he disappeared right in front of me. He didn't change his clothes. He was wearing a red cape and a mask. You could also see some red hair and a mustache."
Judging from her dress, it was indeed Xia, but what the old man said about disappearing in front of him was very effective information.
"The other party's ability may have changed again. He can disappear. This fruit ability is quite powerful."
"That's true. However, if he wants to leave here, he must take a boat, right?" Aokiji said.
"port?"
The three of them reacted together and headed towards the port.
We soon arrived at the port and heard people talking about a small boat that had just set out from the port and disappeared shortly after it set sail.
It was still very fast, and it disappeared from everyone's sight with a swish, without leaving any trace at all.
"As expected, we have gone out to sea. Oh, this is troublesome. Are we going to return empty-handed again?"
Xia Zheteng also raised his eyebrows. This guy was really good at running. Could it be that he had hypnotized the real Xia? Based on this guy's methods, the sea might become even more lively in the future.
This is not good. That guy has a black heart. If we let him go, there will be endless trouble.
"How long has that ship been missing?" Xia Zheteng turned his head and asked.
"It will only take a few minutes." The crew member replied immediately.
Xia Zheteng looked at Aokiji and said, "In other words, it's just right."
Aokiji was a little dumbfounded. This was almost a clear indication, but he said lazily, "I'm so tired."
"Zhan Guo asked you to come here and slack off?" Xia Zheteng was speechless. Who does this guy resemble in character?
"Well, all I can say is, I'll try my best."
After saying that, Aokiji looked towards the sea and flew up.
Xia Zheteng felt relieved, now he could complete the task.
In fact, just now, he had already deployed his Observation Haki and could clearly feel that there was an invisible ship not far from the port.
If Aokiji froze the sea, he would definitely be able to discover the ship.
Having said that, this guy Kabusida clearly had time to run far away, but he didn't move. Instead, he stopped at a distant place and watched the fun.
Xia Zheteng didn't know what the other party was thinking.
Maybe it's because he got the ability of the transparent fruit, so he feels a little bit arrogant, which is normal.
I entered the naval branch, made a circle, and finally escaped safely. It is easy to give people the feeling that I am transparent and invincible.
But he didn't even think about how many good people there were in the East China Sea Navy branch, especially the branch where Colonel Laoshu was.
The mouse itself is very weak, let alone the ability to see and hear. The most he can do is smell the scent of money.
If you really think of yourself as a dish, then you will only die.
"Ice Age." Aokiji used his ultimate move.
The sea surface immediately froze over, and the area continued to expand. Soon, the island of Rogue Town expanded a lot. Of course, it would be even better if the ice did not melt, but that was unfortunately impossible.
The huge ice surface expanded, and soon a special place appeared on it.
A boat was frozen there.
"We didn't go far." It was rare for Kizaru to be so proactive. In a flash of light, he had already boarded Kapusida's boat.
Xia Zheteng had no choice but to use the Moon Step to keep up. He had no choice but to use the Six Styles when using his navy identity.
There was no one on the boat. It seemed that Cabusida knew that he would be discovered if he stayed on the boat, so he used the ability of the transparent fruit to jump off the boat and escape.
The problem is that it is not easy to find his trace on the ice.
It would be great if this could be paired with the Snow Snow Fruit. After a snowfall, two lines of footprints would appear from time to time on the ground where someone has walked. It’s quite exciting to think about it.
"What's going on? No one's here?"
"Kizaru, focus on the ship and launch a covering attack to sink the ship and destroy the ice surface." Xia Zheteng said to Kizaru.
"Hey, hey, I just got frozen." Aokiji was speechless. It was you who called me frozen just now, and now it's you who is being beaten to pieces.
Xia Zheteng just smiled and said, "Don't forget, the other party is a person with special abilities. He just escaped from the boat and should not have returned to the shore yet. If the ice is broken at this time..."
Kizaru flew up, his hands glowing.
Xia Zheteng and Aokiji retreated rapidly in mid-air.
"Eight-foot beautiful magatama."
Xia Zheteng could only sigh in his heart: Kabusida, rest in peace. Facing two great generals, with your strength, why don't you die?
Boom, boom! Qiong Magatama hit the ice surface, breaking it into pieces.
On the sea, the ice kept drifting away.
A figure appeared on the ice, and then the ice he was standing on was hit by Kizaru's Magatama. The man fell into the sea and quickly began to sink.
"I'll do it." Xia Zheteng approached with Moon Steps and jumped into the water.
Kizaru also stopped his attack, returned to the shore from the air, and frowned.
"What's wrong? Didn't we catch it this time?" Aokiji said.
Kizaru's eyebrows jumped and he said, "Don't you think it's too easy? Xia, but even Sakaski couldn't defeat the opponent in a head-on fight, and he was just beaten into the water like this?"
Aokiji pondered for a moment, with a stern face, and said after a long while: "I don't know about that. I only know that the moment he appeared, he was wearing summer clothes, so we just need to catch him."
Kizaru glanced at Aokiji and felt that he admired Xia very much.
That’s true. After all, you were brought up by Garp, and Vice Admiral Garp’s attitude towards the Celestial Dragons is quite bad.
As for Xia, to put it bluntly, up to now, he has only attacked the Celestial Dragons.
Chapter 175: The Hunting Game of the Celestial Dragons
"Wow." At the port, the sea surface broke open, and Xia Zheteng was soaked all over, but he pulled a guy who had fainted ashore.
The guy still had seastone handcuffs on his hands.
“This isn’t a catch.”
Throwing Kabusida in front of the two men, Xia Zheteng smiled and reached out for the other's mask.
"Oh, Lieutenant General Xia Zheteng, what are you going to do?" Kizaru once again returned to his wretched and indifferent look.
Aokiji didn't say anything, but just looked at Xia Zheteng, probably having the same question.
"Curious, aren't you curious? What does this guy who disturbed Marijoa, killed the Celestial Dragons, and stole the Heavenly Gold look like?"
Kizaru and Aokiji looked at each other and it would be a lie to say they didn't care.
Especially Kizaru. Because of Xia, he has to be followed by a group of people wherever he goes recently, otherwise he is afraid that he will be tricked by Xia if he is not careful.
So it’s impossible to say that I’m not curious.
Seeing that the two did not stop him, Xia Zheteng reached out and took off the other person's mask.
The hair is obviously fake, and the same goes for the beard.
Xia Zheteng pulled down the man's hair and beard, then raised his eyebrows and said, "He looks familiar."
Kizaru and Aokiji also frowned and looked over together.
At this time, Smoker came back with Tashigi in a warship.
After crashing through some icebergs, the two men came ashore from the port. Seeing several people surrounding a fallen guy, Smoker also walked over.
"Report."
"You're just in time, Smoker. This guy looks familiar. Do you know him?" Xia Zheteng asked, pointing at Cabusida lying on the ground.
Smoker only took a glance and immediately said, "This is the pirate from the East China Sea, the Slicer Cabusida, with a bounty of 2000 million berries."
Xia Zheteng clenched his fist and snorted, "Sure enough, he's not the real Xia. No wonder he was caught so easily."
Kizaru widened his eyes. What does that mean? It means that he will have to take the blame for a while, and wherever he goes, there will still be a group of people following him.
This is really troublesome.
"Anyway, he's wearing Xia's clothes, and he's dressed like Xia, and he showed up in the East China Sea. This guy must be Xia. Let's catch him first."
After Aokiji finished speaking, he turned around and left, handing the person over to Smoker.
Yes, a pirate with 2000 million Beli is not worth Aokiji's effort.
Before Kizaru left, he turned back and stepped on Kapusida angrily.
"Borsalino, where are we going next? Give me a ride." Xia Zheteng followed behind, shouting and laughing in his heart. Kizaru also has such a temper sometimes.
"I'm so tired. I'm going back to headquarters to rest."
"I just want to go back, so I'll take your boat."
Looking at the generals going away, Smoker was speechless. These three guys had captured Xia.
"Dashiqi, I leave it to you."
"Yes."
Dashigi immediately ordered others to carry Kapushida away and lock him up.
……
On the Grand Line, on the deck of Kizaru's ship, three figures were lined up, with lounge chairs, small tables, watermelons and melon seeds placed in place.
They saw pirates several times along the way, but Kizaru had lost his motivation and was too lazy to even take action.
So the pirates also fled at the sight of it.
Two of them were about to rush forward aggressively at first, but they soon saw three people sitting on the bow deck.
Pirates who can sail on the Grand Line must have some experience.
Seeing this, wouldn’t you run up and die?
"Oh, I thought it was really Xia this time, but it turned out to be an impostor." Kizaru poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and let out a long breath.
Xia Zheteng, with his mouth full of watermelon, muttered, "Not necessarily. Xia may not be alone. Maybe this is a newly recruited team member. If we interrogate him carefully, we may not be able to get anything out of him."
Although I know I won't get anything out of him, I still have to do my part.
After hearing Xia Zheteng's words, Kizaru and Aokiji both nodded, thinking that what he said made sense.
Xia is indeed too mysterious. As long as there is a chance to make a breakthrough, we must try it.
"Anyway, this is the first time we have caught someone after hearing about Xia. That's enough. I don't know what reward Marshal Zhan Guo will give us when we return."
"You dare to even think about reward?" Kizaru expressed his helplessness. It was rare that he made up his mind to catch Xia even without reward, but in the end he was poured cold water.
……
We arrived at Marinford safely.
After listening to the report from Kizaru and others, Sengoku pondered for a moment and then called the city of Impel Down.
Cabsida had already been sent there, and when Kizaru and the others came back, Smoker had already sent someone to deliver it.
Impel Down will naturally intensify the interrogation.
"It's really strange." Xia Zheteng said at this time.
"What's weird?"
"We deliberately ignored Xia in the hope of luring out someone to rescue him, but Xia didn't show up. This journey was too smooth."
Xia Zheteng was analyzing on the side, while Aokiji and Kizaru were too lazy to use their brains.
Zhan Guo, however, thought carefully for a long time before saying, "That's right, maybe that guy just wanted to pretend to be Xia."
Xia Zheteng nodded and said, "Yes, in this case, it will be difficult for us to explain to the World Government. Xia did not really show up. Will the action in the South China Sea be affected?"
