Luffy, like a snake, wrapped around Xia Le, and swung his fists down at him like a storm.
He couldn't help but laugh when he heard the other person calling himself a dragon.
In some ways, Joeyboy from eight hundred years ago was somewhat similar to Luffy's character.
"Imagine yourself as a dragon and launch an attack like this?"
Xia Le laughed.
His body suddenly shook and began to expand rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the height has reached one thousand meters, twice as big as before. But up to this point, it was still far from stopping, but continued to grow.
One thousand five hundred meters, two thousand meters, two thousand five hundred meters, three thousand meters.
At an altitude of three thousand meters, the head was inserted into the clouds and mist. A huge god appeared on the Chambord Islands, causing countless people to be amazed and shocked.
As his body expanded, Luffy, who imagined himself as a dragon, was also blown open and fell from the sky.
Xia Le looked down, quickly bent down, and stretched out his right hand.
Then he grabbed the other person in his hand and held it tightly.
"Okay, so big!"
Luffy shouted in shock.
Even if he is a Nika fruit user, it would be difficult for him to grow into such a big body.
Such a huge creature is simply beyond the imagination of the world.
Then, he suddenly shrank, ran quickly in Xia Le's palm, and escaped.
Then, like an ant, it jumped up from its finger joints.
"Hahahahaha!"
Loud laughter erupted.
"You are really huge!"
Luffy admired as his two arms stretched out again, lengthened and became huge.
In an instant, a volume comparable to Xia Le's arm appeared in the air, entwined with black and red lightning, waving towards him.
"Difficult guy."
Xia Le said softly.
The two are in the same realm, and there is no way to tell the winner in a short period of time.
Then he punched violently.
The huge fist swung away the clouds and slammed forward.
"boom!"
The current surged and ripples spread out.
Over the entire Shampoo Islands, there were bursts of thunder and strong winds. Even the surrounding sea surface is turbulent and rolling.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Continuous collision sounds resounded among the clouds.
The two collided head-on again.
This time, Luffy looked solemn and his eyes were sharp.
He used all his strength, but the opponent's strength was not weak at all. The battle between the two was almost indestructible.
"hurricane!"
Xia Le opened his mouth and spit out endless wind blades, cutting forward.
Luffy retracted his fist, stretched his arms, and pulled down the clouds above his head, turning them into rubber and blocking them in front of him.
The wind blade hit the clouds and was bounced back to Xia Le.
"This is the funniest fight I've ever had!"
Xia Le chuckled and waved the wind blade away.
Then, he clenched his fists.
Although the opponent's fruit abilities are interesting, in head-to-head confrontations, they are all fist-to-pound. And this kind of close physical combat is also his favorite battle.
And believes that this is a battle that belongs to men.
"Let's continue!"
Xia Le raised his head and looked at Luffy, who was as big as a mosquito in front of him.
But this sight made him freeze there, and the fists he had just clenched loosened.
The smile on Luffy's face was still there, but it became extremely stiff, and the divine light in his eyes quickly dissipated. In the end, the pupils disappeared, leaving only the whites of his eyes.
The overbearing and overbearing aura that filled the sky suddenly dissipated.
Its body slowly floated down from the air, like a leaf, and continued to accelerate and fall.
"finished?"
Xia Le sighed softly.
He was not surprised, Joey Boy was dead after all, and Luffy was not the emperor who had awakened the Nika Fruit himself.
It's already great to be able to fight him until now.
“It’s such an exciting feeling that I haven’t experienced in a long time!”
Xia Le murmured.
As soon as he finished speaking, his huge body slowly shrank back to its original shape.
His eyes scanned ahead, and soon Xia Le saw that Luffy, who had fallen from a high altitude, was already being held in Rayleigh's arms.
"Straw Hat, I'm afraid I can't leave it to you, Rayleigh!"
He sighed and said softly.
Lei Li's eyes were sharp and he looked at Xia Le in front of him: "Do we have to kill them all?"
Xia Le smiled slightly and stepped forward.
At this moment, Bartholomew Bear suddenly moved and was in front of Rayleigh in just an instant.
The two looked at each other, and Rayleigh's eyes flashed.
The bear raised his right hand and quickly swatted it forward.
"boom!"
Rayleigh, who was still standing there, disappeared in the blink of an eye, along with Luffy who was unconscious in his arms.
Xia Le was startled for a moment and looked at the bear in front of him, a gloomy look flashing in his eyes.
"Bartholomew Bear!"
"I admire you very much, but my appreciation is not the capital for you to do small tricks in front of me!"
The bear looked serious and his eyes were solemn, but he did not respond.
Xia Le stepped forward again and said coldly: "Maybe you should explain the talent's behavior!"
"I sense that you have no intention of harming them."
The bear's mouth trembled first, and then he said in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid you can't make my decision for me."
Xia Le said in a deep voice.
The bear was silent.
In front of the other party, sending the Straw Hats and others away one after another is undoubtedly extremely risky and out of line.
"You need to pay the price!"
After a while, Xia Le said coldly.
"I'm willing to pay any price!"
Xiong said solemnly.
"does it worth?"
"You could have become the most trusted person under my command!"
Xia Le slowly raised his head and sighed.
Xiong's face slightly condensed, and he solemnly said: "I thank you for your trust and recognition!"
Xia Le shook his head, and then looked to the other side, where Zoro was standing with Kuina.
When he noticed the focused eyes, Zoro's body immediately trembled.
"Kuina!"
"Are you sure Luffy and the others are okay?"
Guina nodded: "Teacher, I am not the kind of person who would take action against little guys like you!"
Zoro took a deep breath with a complicated expression on his face.
In the duel just now, he was crushed by his opponent from start to finish. I also deeply felt that the strength of the two was not at the same level at all.
This also dealt a serious blow to Zoro's self-confidence.
After practicing hard for more than ten years, the gap between him and the opponent is getting bigger and bigger. The only way to compete with the opponent is to teach him a sword move by the man himself.
"If I could fully comprehend that sword!"
With this thought in his mind, Zoro clenched his fists.
"By then, we may not lose to Kuina!"
"But what does this man mean?"
Thinking of this, they raised their heads and met Xia Le's eyes.
There was no fear at all, but deep doubts and confusion.
"Roronoa Zoro!"
"Do you want to send him away too?"
Xia Le chuckled and looked at the bear again.
Bartholomew Bear was silent, and there was no expression on his face.
Seeing that the other party was motionless and seemed to have no movement at all, Xia Le just laughed again and stepped forward.
But at this moment, the bear disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Sauron. He waved the palm of his right hand and slapped Sauron on the face with lightning speed.
"Snapped!"
A loud slap was heard, Zoro's expression froze, and a trace of confusion emerged.
The next second, his figure disappeared with a snap.
"call!"
A gentle breeze blew by, picking up the dust on the ground.
Xiong stood motionless. After taking a look at Kuina's stunned expression, he slowly turned around and met those cold eyes again.
"I will pay all the costs!"
The coldness on Xia Le's face softened slightly and he stepped forward.
After a few steps, he passed by the bear and stood behind it, his steps paused.
"So."
"I hope you will do what you say."
The bear was silent.
He knew the consequences of his intervention. Especially in front of this man, it may have caused extreme dissatisfaction on the other side.
But he thinks it's worth it!
As Reilly said, this world should leave some seeds.
After witnessing the changes in Luffy with my own eyes, the friendship between these young people, the affection and trust that they can entrust their lives to each other.
He felt that everything was worth it!
"Teacher, I'm very angry!"
"Actually, he trusts you and appreciates you very much."
Kuina's voice came softly.
The bear shuddered, then sighed: "I'm sorry for him."
Recalling the first meeting and conversation between the two, Xiong actually also recognized Xia Le as a man.
There may be no one in the world who understands him as well as he does.
After getting along with each other, we unexpectedly discovered that this tough man known as the legend had an unexpectedly gentle temperament and was easy to get along with.
Even the little girl under Moria can boldly joke with her.
What caught his attention even more was Xia Le's concern for the common people.
As a superior, this man is undoubtedly a good person who is worthy of entrusting everything to him and working hard for him.
As a friend, it's still appropriate.
He understood very well why there were so many strong men gathered around the other party to make up for it.
People as strong as Barrett, as unruly as Crocodile, as well as Bucky, Rosinandi, Smoker and others are willing to listen to his orders.
There is no doubt that Xia Le is a man with a charming personality, and he is a hero in the eyes of many people and the embodiment of justice.
It seems that the path taken by Dorag is even more correct.
Faintly, Xiong made a comparison between the two in his mind.
——
"Whirring whirring!"
The wind in my ears kept whistling.
Zoro was shocked to find that he was lying in a bubble.
The scenery on both sides flashed rapidly.
In just a blink of an eye, he reached the sea. He sat up carefully, for fear of puncturing the bubble.
Then he saw the endless sea, the black dots traveling on it.
"How is this going?!"
The wind howled, making Zoro a little worried.
He waited nervously, watching the bubbles fly quickly across the sea.
After an unknown amount of time, a huge Gate of Justice appeared below, and warships with anchor signs hanging on them were also seen.
He looked at the bubbles, flying through the Gate of Justice, flying over the huge inner bay port in the fortress, and flying towards a densely populated area of buildings.
Then, the height gets lower and lower.
At the end, when it was only about ten meters away from the ground, the bubble burst with a pop.
Zoro screamed, fell from the air, and landed on the training ground with a thud.
When he got up again, what came into view were figures in navy uniforms that were extremely familiar to him.
"Long nose?! Pigeon man?!!"
"Roronoa Zoro?!"
"How did you end up falling into Malinfando?"
