I Get Stronger by Checking into Plot Islands - Chapter 17
Chapter 17 Money Is A Bit Tight
Walking on the path in the village, Zoro looked at Xia Chen next to him with questioning eyes.
“Just… was it you who caused the housekeeper to faint?”
“It’s not me, don’t talk nonsense, how could it be possible?” Xia Chen answered quickly with three clicks in a row.
“He must have fainted due to anemia! How can I have the strength to make him faint without even touching him?”
Xia Chen looked at Zoro with an expression like “I don’t know anything, it’s definitely not my fault.”
Seeing Xia Chen’s expression, Zoro became even more suspicious.
I always feel like it’s Xia Chen’s fault. Let’s not talk about how the housekeeper could be anemic if he looks very energetic.
Just your words of hastily denying yourself are worthy of suspicion.
But this is really just his guess, there is no substantial evidence, he just simply thinks Xia Chen is a bit suspicious!
Xia Chen ignored Zoro’s eyes, turned to Luffy and the others and said, “I have something to do, so I’ll separate from you first!”
“What? Xia Chen, do you want to go and play secretly without me?” Luffy curled his lips and asked.
When Xia Chen heard this, his head was full of black lines. He said angrily:
“Can you have anything else on your mind besides playing and eating?”
“So what are you going to do?” Nami interrupted and asked.
“Secret!” Xia Chen smiled, and then disappeared instantly.
“Weird…monster!” The three little ones were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground when they saw this scene.
Although they say they are not very big, they have never seen people disappear in an instant like this!
“Hey, relying on your own strength, you always do this mysterious thing!” Zoro said disdainfully from the side.
But why do you feel there is a sour smell in the air?
…
After some time~
Xia Chen came to a coast of the island.
At this time, a pirate ship was parked here, and Xia Chen could hear the shouts coming from the ship while standing on the top of a hill several hundred meters away.
That’s right, this pirate ship is exactly the one Crowe had before, and he has only one purpose in coming here.
I’ve been a little out of rice in my pocket lately!
During this period of time, he paid for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the entire group of people out of his own pocket. The little money he got from Arrita was about to be exhausted.
Later, all the treasures from Mengka and Buggy were given to Nami. Although he said he could ask Nami if he had no money, he was not a man who liked to apply every time.
Berry is something that men should master themselves!
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, kicked off his feet, and galloped out in an instant.
When he reached the sky above the ship, Xia Chen did not hesitate and fell directly downwards. Landed steadily on the deck.
The sudden sound made all the pirates turn their eyes unconsciously.
Seeing an unknown person appear on the ship for no apparent reason, they were stunned for a few seconds at first, but not long after, a pirate shouted:
“Who are you and why are you on our ship?”
While talking, he walked towards Xia Chen.
“I’m a little tight lately, so I’d like to ask you to help me!” Xia Chen said calmly.
He looked around and saw that Zangao was not here. The people on this ship were all minions whose names he had never heard of.
The surrounding pirates were stunned when they heard Xia Chen’s words.
If they understood correctly, this kid was… robbing?
This experience can’t help but make them feel a little novel. They have always been the only ones to rob others, and they have never been robbed by others.
It’s the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair!
“Hahaha……”
“Boy, do you know where this place is? Do you know who we are?”
A pirate looked at Xia Chen and smiled ferociously.
“Let Laozi tell you with great mercy, this is the ship of the Black Cat Pirates, and we are the pirates of the Black Cat Pirates!”
“You dare to come and rob our ship, you are very brave!”
“If this ship is full of people like you, wouldn’t it be normal for me to rob it?”
“Huh?” After hearing this, the pirate immediately became angry, looked at Xia Chen and said ferociously:
“I hope you can still be so arrogant when Laozi twists your head off!”
After saying that, he waved his fist and rushed towards Xia Chen.
Looking at the fist that was getting closer and closer, Xia Chen didn’t react at all. It wasn’t until the fist was about to hit him that Xia Chen raised his hand slightly.
“Whoosh!”
A black shadow flashed.
The pirate who was standing in front of Xia Chen just now had flown into the sky, and then fell into the sea with a thud.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding pirates instantly took a few steps back, perfectly interpreting what a deep friendship is.
They didn’t even see how Xia Chen took action just now. Before they could react, their companion was already flying in the sky.
Thinking with your feet, you can tell that Xia Chen is much better than them. As a pirate, they understand one thing very well.
That is, those who understand current affairs are heroes!
When you encounter an enemy that you can’t defeat, don’t attack him forcefully, otherwise will you simply go up and get beaten in vain?
“Hello!”
Xia Chen suddenly shouted at them, which scared them all.
“Where are the treasures on your ship? Take me there!”
After hearing Xia Chen’s words, a group of pirates looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, but no one came out to take Xia Chen there.
Helpless, Xia Chen pointed directly at one of the pirates and said, “Take me there!”
“Ah? Me?” The pirate shook his head everywhere, wanting to see if Xia Chen was referring to someone else. He didn’t want to take Xia Chen there.
“That’s right, it’s you! Stop whining and take me there quickly, or I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the fish later!”
Seeing that Xia Chen was indeed talking about himself, the pirate had no choice but to walk out and prepare to take Xia Chen to the place where the treasure was kept.
“Huh? Since when has the treasure of our Black Cat Pirates become something that outsiders can covet?”
As soon as Xia Chen took a step or two, two people jumped out from somewhere in the boat and landed behind Xia Chen.
Xia Chen turned his head and looked at the pair of fat and thin fairy boys, and ancient memories began to appear in his mind. Then he asked uncertainly:
“Are you… cat people brothers?”
“Yes, I’m Sam!”
“I’m Butch!”
“Since you know our brother’s name, you still dare to come here. You really don’t know what to do…”
“Pfft!!!”
Before they finished speaking, the two figures flew out instantly and flew directly from the boat to the island.
Xia Chen waved his hand and said disdainfully: “Why does the supporting actor add so many scenes to himself?”
Then he turned to look at the pirate from before.
“Let’s go, keep taking me!”
“Yes!” The pirate shouted extremely loudly, with a trembling voice.
Fortunately, he didn’t seek death just now, otherwise he might end up like the catman brothers now.
Even people stronger than him like the Catman brothers were eliminated instantly, let alone him.
“Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that I can’t hear you?” Xia Chen’s eyes widened, and he immediately shrank his neck.
Then he said nothing and honestly led the way.
