In the tavern, a white-haired old man with a strong and muscular body, dressed in a white lieutenant general uniform, stared at Ye Chen with a serious expression.
There was a scar on the old man's left eye, and his blue eyes were extremely deep. This obvious feature already revealed his identity. He was the naval hero who became famous after fighting with Locks, Monchi D Karp!
"What's the matter? Don't disturb my business." Ye Chen's expression was calm, unafraid of the other party's majesty.
"You're the treasure merchant, Ye Chen?" Karp looked at the man in front of him with a serious expression.
"Is there a need to ask?" Ye Chen said calmly.
"What is your purpose? Who are you to Locks?" Karp suspected that there might be some unspeakable secret between Ye Chen and Locks.
"Hehe…would you believe me if I said I have nothing to do with Locks?”Ye Chen said coldly.
"What do you think?" Karp laughed lightly.
"Then stop talking nonsense. Let's have a fight so that your navy can be more sensible in the future.”Ye Chen said calmly.
After saying that, he directly said to Makino,""Don't worry, I'm fine."
Then, he walked out of the tavern.
Karp was stunned. He did not expect Ye Chen to be so straightforward. However, he did not reject this battle because he felt that Ye Chen was not easy to deal with. It was a good opportunity to test Ye Chen's strength.
……
As the tavern was protected by the system, Ye Chen felt that such a battle was meaningless. Hence, he invited Karp to a sparsely populated wasteland for a duel.
As soon as the match began, Ye Chen immediately showed his opponent his might and used the Wood Evasion Blood Limit skill that he was proud of.
"The Wood Evasion Tree Realm has descended!"
Boom!
Ye Chen's body erupted with a strong breath of life. He slammed his palm on the ground and a strange mark appeared on the ground. The ground shook violently and finally, the rocky ground in a large area began to crack. Countless trees emerged from the core of the earth.
In the blink of an eye, the barren land had turned into an endless jungle!
"Nature type, superhuman type, magical beast species tree demon?”Karp was slightly surprised. After calming down, he thought to himself,"The treasure merchant is so strong. Is he really a merchant?"
"So strong!"
"This kind of range and power is already at the peak of this world.”
"In the New World, those who can have such a large-scale attack are all super pirates!”
Karp exclaimed in surprise one after another. This was because in the navy headquarters, only a general had such a move!
"Be careful not to die, old man!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly and controlled the trees in the forest to attack. The towering trees attacked like living tentacles. The range was too large and there was no blind spot.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Faced with such an all-rounded attack, Karp had no choice but to use his entire body to defend against it with the color of his armor, and then look for an appropriate opportunity to counterattack.
Bang! Bang! Bang…
The black fists continued to destroy the trees, but the broken trees would still grow back. They attacked Karp continuously, causing Karp's expression to become extremely grave.
"The development of this fruit isn't any worse than that of Kuzan and the others. I wonder how your domineering aura and physical skills are.”Karp didn't expect that a refined kid would actually be a fruit ability user, and his level of development wasn't weak.
The ability of the fruit was comparable to that of a general. If his physical skills and domineering aura could keep up, he would be a true general-level expert.
Hearing this, Ye Chen's lips curled up and he was secretly delighted."Domineering? It doesn't exist."
This was because Ye Chen currently did not have any domineering aura. Moreover, Karp was not a Natural Element, so there was no need for domineering aura to deal with him.
As for physical techniques?
Ye Chen had the Soaring Thunder God Art. In the world of martial arts, there was nothing unbreakable except speed. Would Karp be able to keep up with his Soaring Thunder God Art?
"Flying Thunder God Art!"
Ye Chen produced a wooden spike made by the Wood Evasion in his hand. He carved the Flying Thunder God's mark on it and threw it out. His figure flashed within the mark and attacked Karp continuously.
"Navy Six Styles? No, it's spatial teleportation."
Looking at Ye Chen's nimble movements, Karp was sweating profusely again. He was just about to suppress his opponent in terms of strength, but he did not expect his opponent to have such a move.
In the state of the Flying Thunder God's Art, Karp could not keep up with Ye Chen's movements and was even punched dozens of times. It was as if he was boxing with a shadow.
Ye Chen's physique had been strengthened by the Wood Evasion, so his fist strength was not weak. Although he could not break Karp's top-tier armor, he still sent him flying. It was very embarrassing.
"If this kid can be more domineering or have stronger attack power, I'll be in trouble!”Karp thought to himself. He had to admit that he couldn't fight this battle. He couldn't catch the other party at all.
It was not that Ye Chen was stronger than him, but his ability was too much of a restraint.
Karp's speed could not keep up with Ye Chen's Flying Thunder God. Even the yellow ape could not do so. The Spatial Movement was faster than the speed of light. Moreover, Ye Chen was much more agile than the yellow ape. He could teleport dozens of times in an instant and his position was changeable. It was impossible to guard against him. On the other hand, the yellow ape had to rely on the Eight-Foot Mirror to change its position after transforming into light. The flaw was too obvious!
Moreover, Ye Chen's ability was very tricky. Unless he destroyed the entire Forest Realm in one fell swoop, it would be difficult to escape.
As for defeating Ye Chen, that was impossible. Spatial Translocation was too shameless!
So...
"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore."
Karp shouted with a bored expression. Although he had the strongest strength in the world, he could not do anything to Ye Chen. He felt extremely aggrieved.
Ye Chen did not want to continue fighting. After familiarizing himself with his abilities and knowing his own standards, he stopped. Then, he smiled."How is it? Are you satisfied?"
"Kid, you are very strong. Your future achievements are unimaginable. But what kind of ability user are you?”Karp felt that the ability to teleport and create fruits of the jungle was not in the Demon Fruit Illustrated Book.
"Have you forgotten that I'm a treasure merchant?”Ye Chen said calmly.
"The legendary ancient treasures?？”Karp was shocked. He didn't think that the legendary treasures were real.
"Haha…it's good that you know." Ye Chen smiled because he had achieved his goal. With Karp advertising for him, he believed that he would not be harassed by the navy in the future.
This way, he could openly continue his era of great treasures in the Great Pirate World.
"I didn't believe it when I heard that Baki dug up Locks 'treasure. I didn't expect it to be true. But why are you selling the treasure map?”Karp said with a vexed expression. He was very puzzled. Why would he sell such a precious treasure map?
"I'm just a merchant. The treasure map was sold to me on a commission. As for the treasure that I opened myself, it's my reward.”Ye Chen said calmly.
"Who's selling it to you?" Karp felt that the treasure was definitely not as simple as he thought. There must be a big conspiracy behind it.
The mastermind that Jordan mentioned was the mastermind of the conspiracy.
"Who would sell it to me? Hehe, that's something you can't imagine.”Ye Chen said calmly.
Karp shook his head lightly. He didn't believe that there was anything in this world that he couldn't imagine, because he knew some of the secrets of the Heavenly Dragon people and the Five Old Stars.
Ye Chen was not lying. The 'person' who sold the treasure map was the System, an existence that Karp could never imagine in his life.
"You don't believe me? Believe it or not, that's all I have to say.”
With that, Ye Chen turned around and left.
Karp suddenly called out to Jordan.
"Wait!"
"You still want to fight?”
Karp licked his lips and said,""Hehe, of course I believe you. After all, you live in the East China Sea, so you're considered half of my hometown. Can you give me a copy of Locks 'treasure map?”
Ye Chen was speechless.
Looking at Karp's thick-skinned face, it had nothing to do with the image of a naval hero.
However, at this moment, the system notification sounded.
"Ding! [Announcement: Main Mission 2!]
