People in One Piece are so good-looking - Chapter 390 Face to Face

That feeling is becoming clearer and clearer…

Nuo Xia narrowed her eyes.

He had never been among the flowers, but with his powerful knowledge, from the moment he stepped into Pangu City, he could faintly feel that there was a powerful aura hidden here that could not be ignored.

And as we now landed in front of the door and the distance became closer, the aura became clearer and clearer.

no doubt.

Im, right here!

I didn’t think much more about it.

With thunder blazing all over his body, Nuo Xia was about to step into the flowers when an old, deep voice suddenly sounded:

“Kid, if I were you, I wouldn’t choose to take this step.”

The next moment.

With a soft creaking sound, the door shrouded in clouds and mist slowly opened, and an old figure appeared in the darkness.

Unlike Hephaestus, who is five meters tall and extremely strong.

The person who came was stooped and short, wearing a large Japanese-style yukata, leaning on a cane, and wearing wooden clogs. He had gray hair and a wrinkled face covered with age spots.

He looked old, at least a hundred years old, but his dark eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

The rickety old man was on the steps, looking down from a high position, looking at Nuo Xia below, and said coldly:

“Go back, navy brat, your opponent should be Hephaestus. Even if you lose, you will still die gloriously.”

“But if you continue to move forward and disturb the master’s dream, then your fate will not be as cheap as death.”

Nuo Xia didn’t respond, but just looked at the rickety old man up and down, his eyes a little surprised.

He originally thought that the powerful aura he felt outside Pangu City before was Yim.

but now.

After the old man appeared in front of him, the aura emanating from his body matched perfectly with what he had felt before!

“Did you misjudge…”

Nuo Xia chuckled and looked over the shoulder of the rickety old man, looking deeper into the mysterious palace.

Not a big problem.

Although the previous guess was wrong, there is no doubt that the place in front of me is indeed among the flowers.

And from what the old man said just now, we can conclude that Im has not left at this moment, he is in this palace!

only.

Such a strong man, however, treats Yi Mu as his master, acting like a servant. In addition, even if he is in front of the gate, he can’t feel any trace of Yi Mu…

“The old immortal guys are really scary.”

He snorted and felt Hephaestus approaching at full speed from behind. He immediately stopped thinking and turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing straight towards the open door.

The height of the gate is six to seven meters, and the rickety old man is only a little over one meter six at most. He is a pure Yodel-level person with enough headroom for him to pass through directly.

“Seeking death…”

Seeing that Nuo Xia ignored him and forced his way in, the rickety old man shook his head slightly, his face still showing no anger.

Just when Lei Guang was about to rush to the steps, he slammed his cane and his figure suddenly grew!

Roar!

In an instant, he transformed into a giant turtle that was ten meters tall, raising his head and roaring. His huge body almost occupied the entire steps, and the door was also blocked airtightly.

Nuo Xia’s speed was too fast. He suddenly saw a drastic change in front of him and had no time to change direction, and he didn’t want to retreat. So he focused his eyes and without hesitation, he pulled out the twin swords of Yon’en surrounded by lightning, and slashed them down in a staggered manner.

Boom! ! !

It was obvious that the slash landed not on the turtle’s shell but on its head, but there was still an extremely dull sound of metal collision.

The powerful force of the shock made Nuo Xia’s jaw go numb for a while, and he could barely hold on to the hilt of the sword. His body was directly ejected, and crashed onto the wall a hundred meters away.

Rubbles were flying everywhere and dust was flying. Before the movement stopped, Nuo Xia, who was unscathed, had already stepped out of the ruins and looked up at the giant turtle in front of him in amazement.

This big turtle has such a strong body!

After simply being coated with a layer of weaponry, the softest part became so hard that even his sword blade could not cut through it.

So how powerful can this tortoise shell covered with jagged bone spurs be?

Turtle fruit?

No, in his impression, the big lion Pokomus, who was born in the fur tribe, was the one with the Turtle Fruit ability, and he couldn’t transform into such a terrifying giant.

The fruit ability of the rickety old man in front of him was obviously more powerful, and most of it came from ancient phantom beast species.

“Bi Xi fruit?”

he asked tentatively.

“Do you think I can answer this question?”

The giant turtle looked down expressionlessly, with a cold, anthropomorphic light flowing in its dark brown pupils, “I gave you a chance, but now that I have been forced to do it myself, then today…”

“Are you the spear or the shield?”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nuo Xia’s curious question.

Why does such a stupid question need to be asked when the answer is so obvious?

The giant turtle’s eyes finally flashed with anger, and with a low roar, the jagged barbs on its back suddenly pointed straight toward the sky and were pulled out!

The roots were covered with a strong armed aura, and immediately like countless arrows, they shot towards Nuo Xia Zan at a speed that was difficult to see clearly with the naked eye!

Whoosh whoosh!

The rain of thorns was dense, but Nuo Xia still stood where he was. He didn’t see any movement. He only saw the blue light flashing and leaping, and he dodged all the barbs of the giant turtle with ease.

Infinite teleportation?

As expected of a user with the Thunder Fruit ability, such terrifying speed…

The giant turtle narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, raised his black and blue right paw, and was about to continue the attack when a lazy voice suddenly came from the dark corridor behind him:

“Let him in, Aguru.”

The voice was neutral and ordinary, and one could not distinguish between male and female or age.

But the angry giant turtle’s expression changed drastically, and his body shrank sharply in an instant, turning back into the rickety old man wearing a yukata and wearing wooden clogs.

“Yes, Master.”

The rickety old man bowed respectfully toward the inside of the door. After three or four seconds, he dared to stand up, turned around, and looked at Nuo Xia coldly:

“What are you doing here, kid? Go in.”

Nuo Xia did not respond, but turned and looked outside.

Outside the collapsed wall, Hephaestus, covered in flames, had arrived and landed on the ruins, but he hesitated to step in until the rickety old man nodded slightly and winked at him.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and after glancing at Nuo Xia with pity, he stopped staying and turned around directly to Pangu City where Wulao Xing was located.

“Still not going in?”

The cold scolding of the rickety old man sounded in his ears. Nuo Xia did not hesitate and punched the old man in the face with all his strength. However, the latter reacted in time, and his right arm expanded into a half-tortoise, half-human shape, and he held it tightly. He grabbed his right hand tightly.

The two were locked in a stalemate in the air, constantly increasing their strength, and the dark armed color gradually spread to cover both sides’ arms.

But no matter how much they added, no one could force the opponent back.

A full dozen seconds later.

Nuo Xia just shook off the opponent’s right paw, shook his wrist as if nothing had happened, and then looked at the rickety old man’s eyes that were so cold that they could freeze the air, and waved his arms towards the latter with a smile, as if he was saying goodbye.

Immediately, he strode across the threshold and stepped into the dimly lit endless corridor.

“The defense is probably stronger than BIGMOM’s steel balloon body.”

“The strength is about the same as mine.”

“After calculation, the overall combat power is probably slightly stronger than Hephaestus, and at the same level as Kaido BIGMOM.”

…

so.

Is a shield more difficult to deal with than a spear?

Nuo Xia was thinking casually in her mind, and unknowingly she had passed through the long corridor paved with red carpet and arrived at the center among the flowers.

The light suddenly brightens, the surroundings are misty, the trees are lush, and you can hear the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers everywhere.

In this hall, the majestic Void Throne stands high, and behind the shadow, a graceful and tall figure can be vaguely seen sitting on the throne.

The Five Old Stars were still crouching and trembling in front of the throne, but Nuo Xia walked with a casual expression, looking left and right, as if he had returned to his own home, and he had the leisure to pick a rose flower and lower his head. Sniffed lightly.

Well, it’s true.

“Finally we meet.”

He played with the rose in his hand, looked up at the figure on the Void Throne, and said with a smile:

“What should I call you better…sister Im? Aunt? Or grandma?”

With a flick of the finger, a thin invisible blue silk thread wrapped around the roots of the rose, and the rose flower, still carrying morning dew, floated to the throne like a living creature.

A slender white right hand came out from the sleeve robe, and two slender jade fingers grasped the rose.

“Romanov Nosha…”

The neutral voice that could not tell the age sounded again, calm and profound, “You seem to… know a lot of things?”

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

The moment the snow-white skin touched the rose, the plucked flower seemed to come alive again. The stamens moved automatically without wind, and the edges of the petals slightly stretched outward…

Nuo Xia’s pupils narrowed.

The next second, he withdrew his gaze and fell on the other person’s face covered by shadow again, grinning, “What do you think?”

“It seems like he knows a lot, but he also seems like he doesn’t know anything.”

Im’s voice was still calm, and no emotion could be heard. “I originally thought that you were dissatisfied with the newly appointed marshal, so you went to Pangu City and asked Wulao Xing for an explanation.”

“But now it seems that your real target is only me. I’m just pretending to be in front of the Five Old Stars, but I’m really serious about testing the little turtle and the kid who plays with fire…”

“And now, you want to find out my true identity.”

The rose suddenly split open, pink petals flying everywhere, and Im finally stood up from the Void Throne and stepped down the steps step by step.

“It’s really fun.”

The tall and graceful figure finally stopped five steps away from Nuo Xia.

Revealing a face as beautiful as a girl, with black hair reaching her waist, she is about sixteen or seventeen years old.

And the corrugated eyes that are very similar to the hawk’s eyes are looking at the black-haired young man in front of him with great interest:

“It seems that your trip today was just to find out the details of ‘us’. Once you got the information, you left immediately. You never thought about fighting to the death.”

“It’s just…now that you know my existence, what gave you the courage to step into the flowers?”

“Where do you get the confidence to think that you can escape from here?”

“Is it the magnetic field teleportation you have always been confident about, or… your weird method that can be inexplicably teleported thousands of miles across the air?”

Nuo Xia’s expression remained normal as she listened to Im explaining her thoughts one by one.

But after hearing the last half of the sentence, his pupils suddenly contracted.

But it was only for a moment.

The next moment, he returned to normal, and smiled carelessly under Im’s smiling gaze:

“Has this been noticed? It’s really scary, Grandma Im.”

“Let me guess first… well, is it the color of sight that is powerful enough to cover the entire world? Or is it your fruit ability that allows you to see all corners of the world from a distance?”

“Whatever it is.”

He paused, stared at Im’s oppressive corrugated pupils, and laughed:

“For the old witch who has been hiding behind the scenes and silently observing the world for eight hundred years, it is quite normal. But I am very curious. Is it necessary to keep staring at me alone?”

Im didn’t seem to care about the title of “old witch”. Her eyes stayed on Nuo Xia’s face, and after a long time she laughed softly:

“It’s rare to find a guy you like, so you have to pay more attention.”

“Nice face.”

She stretched out her index finger and caressed Nuo Xia’s face, “She really looks much prettier than in the photo. When she smiles, even I feel a little moved…”

Nuo Xia frowned slightly and turned his head away from the “girl”‘s touch.

Im seemed to have expected it and didn’t care. She just covered her stutter and chuckled like a real sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl:

“It’s just, little guy, you really don’t know anything as I said. How about seeing and hearing? Watching from a distance? Even if you are guessing… your imagination is still too lacking.”
