Chapter 85

However,

for the current situation,

Li Xiao was well prepared!

On this coffin boat of Hawk Eyes,

although there was only one seat,

there was still considerable empty space,

Li Xiao directly took out a small stool from his Meridian Ring,

and sat down in the empty space in front of the coffin boat.

Afterwards,

Li Xiao took out the tangerine Nami had given him before leaving,

peeled it in a few quick motions,

then directly stuffed more than half of the tangerine flesh into his mouth!

Compared to the tangerine Nojiko had given him before,

this tangerine of Nami's was exceptionally sweet,

and the peeled tangerine peel seemed to have added some fragrance,

obviously not the tangerine's own scent...

Li Xiao turned his head to look,

and saw that Hawk Eyes had returned to his usual posture,

sitting upright in the seat of the coffin boat,

crossing his legs,

with his hands crossed on his knees,

expressionless and gazing forward.

After a moment of silence,

Li Xiao looked at the coffin boat beneath his feet,

and finally could not help but ask:

"Um, there's a question I don't know if I should ask or not?"

Hawk Eyes looked at Li Xiao and said:

"What question?"

"Why did you specifically make a boat that looks like a coffin?"

Upon hearing this,

the corner of Hawk Eyes' eye twitched,

and he refuted:

"I don't think it looks like a coffin!"

"Oh!"

Li Xiao nodded in understanding,

then continued speaking:

"Then it's a coffin that looks like a boat!"

"............"

Hawk Eyes felt the corner of his eye twitching wildly,

wanting to speak up to refute,

but for a moment he didn't know what to refute!

After a long silence,

Hawk Eyes finally spoke:

"I also have a question, I don't know if I should ask or not?"

Upon hearing this,

Li Xiao waved his hand,

and immediately said:

"You shouldn't ask, don't ask!"

"............"

At this very moment,

Hawk Eyes suddenly felt,

that Li Xiao's earlier proposal for him to stay was actually quite good...

A coffin... pfft, just a boat, give it to him!

At least I wouldn't have to suffer this!

A moment later,

when Hawk Eyes and Li Xiao completely disappeared from the sea surface,

on the Sea Restaurant,

originally curled up in the corner,

not daring to breathe even one extra breath, Krieg instantly regained his confidence,

Striding out with swagger and a face full of arrogance,

continuing his dream of conquering the sea restaurant and making a comeback!

Afterwards,

Krieg clashed with Luffy,

while his subordinates engaged Zoro in battle!

However,

it is worth mentioning that,

no matter how they fought,

Krieg deliberately avoided Nami,

always maintaining a safe distance from her!

When Luffy landed a punch on him,

he could choose not to dodge,

but the moment Nami took even a single step toward him,

Krieg would have loved nothing more than to immediately retreat ten steps!

There was no choice;

he was truly afraid!

If that woman so much as got slightly injured,

causing that powerful figure just now to turn around and strike him down with a sword again,

how utterly unjust would that be!

————————

A few days later,

in Loguetown,

Li Xiao watched the coffin-shaped small boat speeding away in escape,

and nodded in satisfaction!

Thanks to his "earnest teachings" and "careful guidance" along the way,

Mihawk surely would not come seeking a sword duel with him again anytime soon!

How wonderful!

After watching Mihawk's coffin-shaped small boat vanish quickly from sight,

Li Xiao finally turned his gaze toward the interior of Loguetown.

Compared to small villages like Foosha Village and Cocoyasi Village,
