Pirates: I become stronger by checking in on the plot island.

Chapter 217

Five minutes later~

"Bang!"

A dull sound was heard, and a figure flew backwards instantly. It fell heavily on the ground in the distance.

Then a huge figure also appeared in front of this figure the next moment.

Xia Chen looked at the slowly climbing red-haired man calmly and said, "Now... do you still think you can beat me? Shanks!"

Xia Chen's tone was indifferent, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Shanks.

In the past half a quarter of an hour, he and Shanks had fought countless moves, and the result of the fight also surprised him very much.

Shanks was the first person he had met so far who could match his stone monkey form in terms of attack power.

The previous Akainu Five Elders were very struggling when facing his attacks, only Shanks seemed to be at ease.

Of course, just being able to compare with Xia Chen in terms of attack power, Shanks was not Xia Chen's opponent overall, but this was also worth being surprised.

You should know that Xia Chen's form easily dealt with the navy and the world government, and it seemed very easy.

However, he used his magic king's skills at that time. If he simply used close combat, he would definitely not be able to deal with them so easily.

Now Xia Chen and Shanks are fighting in close combat all the time, and none of their other skills are used, so it takes five minutes.

Shanks' attack power is indeed almost the same as his stone ape form, but the problem is that Xia Chen himself can't break his own defense.

The defense of the stone ape form is more exaggerated than the attack power!

Excluding Im, Xia Chen can confidently say that his form is the world's strongest shield!

But he will not say that his attack is also the strongest spear! The theory of contradiction does not exist for him.

So with the same attack power and a difference in defense power of several orders of magnitude, Shanks did not last long in Xia Chen's hands.

After all, he can ignore most of Shanks' attacks, but Shanks can't!

How many times can Shanks perform attacks like Divine Evasion? Can he use it as a basic attack? Xia Chen doesn't believe it!

He is not Hawkeye. Shanks' Divine Evasion consumes the King's Haki, and Haki is something that will be consumed.

So as the battle time lengthened, Shanks began to slowly show his disadvantage.

Finally, after five minutes, Xia Chen caught a flaw in Shanks and punched him hard. Then it came to the current situation of the two of them confronting each other.

Shanks forcibly suppressed the surging blood and looked at the figure in front of him with a solemn look in his eyes.

He didn't expect Xia Chen to be so powerful. It was clear that when Hawkeye said a few months ago, he was just a boy with good strength and interesting personality!

And now, after a few months, Xia Chen has grown to this point. The speed of this strength improvement is really not as fast as riding a rocket!

Xia Chen said lightly: "Shanks, do you still think you have a chance to defeat me now?"

Shanks did not speak for a long time.

After a while, Shanks put the Griffin back into the sheath in his hand, and it seemed that he was not going to continue fighting with Xia Chen.

"Hmm? It seems that you have made a decision!"

Xia Chen was a little confused at this time. Logically speaking, Shanks was not a man who would give up his goal so easily.

Although he was not Xia Chen's opponent now, his injuries were not serious, so there was no reason for him not to fight.

And what Shanks said next made Xia Chen understand why he did this.

"Xia Chen, how about we make a deal?" Shanks looked at Xia Chen and said.

"Hmm?" Xia Chen raised his eyebrows and continued, "What can you trade with me?"

"I'll tell you in advance that there are not many things in this world that can interest me. Do you... have any?"

"I believe you will want what I tell you!" Shanks said, his tone full of confidence.

"Oh? That's not necessarily true!"

Xia Chen didn't take it seriously. To be honest, he didn't know what he was interested in now.

However, he really wanted to see how Shanks would look if he was not interested in what he was given.

"What I want to tell you is... news about a devil fruit!"

"Devil fruit?"

Xia Chen's tone was full of disappointment when he heard this. He thought Shanks could provide him with some shocking news, but he didn't expect it to be a devil fruit?

To be honest, he really had no interest in devil fruits. No matter how powerful the devil fruit in this world was, it would not be as good as his.Strong ability.

Their status is not at the same level at all!

Just like the feat he has accomplished now, defeating the Navy and the World Government by himself. It all depends on his ability!

Otherwise, with his current configuration, he is at most at the same level as Aokiji, how can he beat him like a baby like now.

So he really has no idea about the information about the devil fruit that Shanks said!

Didn’t you see that he just got the fruit of Saint Satan not long ago?

If he kills the remaining five elders and Akainu, that will be five top-level fruits. Isn’t this more profitable?

Even Xia Chen thinks that these fruits are too many. At present, only Zoro and Sanji on their ship have not eaten the devil fruit, and it seems that they don’t plan to eat it.

So even if he is given more devil fruits, they will just gather dust in the system space and are completely useless!

Thinking of this, Xia Chen looked at Shanks and said calmly: "If that's what you're talking about, then there's no need to talk. I'm not interested in devil fruits!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I..."

"Hades, the Pluto!"

Before Xia Chen finished speaking, Shanks interrupted him and said a name that Xia Chen was very familiar with.

Xia Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "What did you say!"

"Human-Human Fruit, Hades Form!"

"From your reaction, I know you've heard of this name. So, are you interested?"

Xia Chen remained silent and didn't speak. Because he was a little embarrassed now!

Just now he vowed that he was not interested in devil fruits, but now...

Okay, he admitted that he missed it! This fruit is indeed the only devil fruit that can arouse his interest. He never thought that the information about devil fruits that Red Hair knew was about this fruit.

The fruit he has in Rocks' mouth!

Xia Chen did not answer the red-haired man immediately, but asked: "How much do you know about this fruit?"

"I don't know much, the only thing I know for sure is that it is a fruit with the name of God, and the rest is just a half-understanding!"

Xia Chen: ? ? ?

Red-haired man: ? ? ?

"You are talking about something you only know a little about, what are you standing there for?"
