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

Xia Chen's eyes narrowed and he slammed his fist into the ground.

With a "boom", a bottomless hole appeared in front of Xia Chen. Without hesitation, Xia Chen jumped in.

The imagined darkness did not appear. The cave entrance was about a few dozen meters away from the bottom. At the bottom was a long corridor with oil lamps on the walls on both sides, adding some light to the dark space.

Xia Chen glanced around and then walked towards the end of the corridor.

The aura he sensed was right in front of him, and from what he sensed now, the person inside had deliberately let him discover it. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

Xia Chen was very curious now, who was here and why did they lure him here?

However, Xia Chen was just curious and not worried. With his current strength, he would not panic no matter what situation he encountered.

With his strong physique and the unparalleled speed of his Somersault Cloud, even if he can't win, he doesn't believe he can't escape!

When Xia Chen came to the end of the corridor, what came into view was a slightly gloomy-looking room with a coffin in the middle of the room.

Xia Chen narrowed his eyes. Yes, the breath was coming from the coffin.

As soon as he thought about it, a clone appeared beside Xia Chen and walked towards the coffin.

He was a cautious person, and he definitely couldn't let his real body do something like opening a coffin. Moreover, his clone and his real body shared the same perspective, so what the clone saw was equivalent to what his real body saw.

Xia Chen's clone came to the coffin and slowly moved it away. What came into view was a domineering-looking man. The man did not have the scars like Moria's zombie, which showed that he was not Moria's zombie.

Xia Chen stared at the man for a while, but couldn't remember who he was.

Just as he was thinking, the man in the coffin suddenly opened his eyes, and Xia Chen's heart tightened with fear.

Xia Chen waved away his clone, looked at the man who was slowly sitting up in the coffin, and said speechlessly: "Can you please not open your eyes suddenly? Don't you know that scaring people can kill them?"

That's right, after Xia Chen's judgment for a while, he found that the man in front of him was a living person. But he didn't know why he liked to sleep in a coffin!

The man slowly climbed out of the coffin, turned his gaze to Xia Chen, and then a strong sense of oppression suddenly emanated from his body.

Xia Chen groaned at the sudden pressure, looked at the man in front of him in shock, and asked, "Who are you? Why do you have such a powerful domineering color?"

It's no wonder that Xia Chen was shocked. In front of the man's Domineering Haki, even though he had broken through to the advanced level of Domineering Haki, he was completely crushed and had no ability to resist at all.

As for the person who can have such a strong domineering Haki, Xia Chen dares to guarantee that among the Four Emperors, only Red Hair has this possibility. But it is just a possibility, and it is hard to say whether he can reach this level.

Xia Chen is speechless now. He just thought that there are not many people in this world who can threaten him, but he didn't expect to meet one now. His luck is really amazing.

The ancients were right. Curiosity killed the cat!

However, what made Xia Chen feel a little relieved was that the man in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of attacking him, because he had slowly dissipated his domineering color.

The man grinned and said to Xia Chen: "Boy, you are pretty good! You have some strength!"

"Thank you for your praise, senior!" Xia Chen replied awkwardly. The man in front of him put too much pressure on him.

At this time, Xia Chen was racking his brains to think about who this man was, but he couldn't come up with an answer.

For a moment, Xia Chen felt that this world was not as simple as he had imagined. Where did this powerful man come from?

"Don't be nervous, kid. I mean no harm to you!"

"I just felt a familiar aura when I was sleeping, and then I released the aura to lead you here!"

"As for the question you just asked, who am I?"

"I don't know if those people from the World Government have erased my existence. After all, this is their favorite thing to do!"

"My name is Rocks, have you heard of me?"

"Rocks?!!" Xia Chen's pupils shrank sharply, revealing a light of disbelief. His heart was beating violently.

"Rocks!! Are you Rocks D. Gibeck?"

"Yes, it's me! It seems that I am quite famous. Even a kid as young as you knows me! Hahaha..." Rocks laughed happily.

However, Xia Chen, who was sitting opposite him, was in great shock. He felt that the situation was beyond his control.

In the past, he always relied on his knowledge of the world, so he showed a sense of control over many things.

But now judging from the fact that Rocks appeared here, this world... is not simple!

After a while, Xia Chen slowly calmed down, looked at Rocks and asked, "Can I ask you some questions?"

"Of course! Since I brought you here, I will definitely answer some of your questions. After all... we are the same kind of people!" Rocks smiled faintly.

Xia Chen took a deep breath and spoke.

"I would like to know……"

"hu~hu~"

Nami supported her knees with her hands, panting and complaining: "These zombies are really good at running!"

"Ms. Nami, I'm here!" Sanji's voice came from behind. Nami looked back and saw that everyone was running towards her.

But...it seems like there's one missing?

When everyone came up to them, Nami asked, "Where's Xia Chen? Where did he go?"

"I don't know! It disappeared just now!" Luffy replied.

"Oh~" Nami nodded thoughtfully and said, "Xia Chen is a man who knows how to do things in moderation. He must have disappeared to do something important!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be speechless.

This is only Xia Chen. If they suddenly disappeared, Nami would not have the same attitude.

"Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, a vibration came from afar, attracting everyone's attention.

As far as they could see, a large group of zombies were walking towards them, and they seemed to be on a different level from the previous zombie soldiers.

Nami didn't hesitate and sent a bolt of lightning directly. But something unexpected happened to her. One of the zombies suddenly jumped in front of Nami's lightning, drew the knife at his waist and chopped it down fiercely.

"Tear!" Nami's thunder was split into two halves, splashing all around.

"What?" Nami couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw this scene, then silently protected Luffy and the others in front of her and said:

"Come on, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji! These zombies are left to you!"
