Wherever the ray passed, the air instantly twisted and steamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo didn't expect this at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still holding the dragon's tail with both hands, he was too late to dodge, so he simply lifted the dragon's tail to block, and at the same time, his Armament Haki buzzed and instantly covered his entire arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Sizzle*—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson ray bombarded the dragon's tail, the scales instantly carbonized and collapsed, exposing the tail vertebrae inside, and the burnt smell permeated along with the steaming white smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The T-Rex roared in pain, and its thick tail began to twist and struggle frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xia Nuo's arms were also scorched by the aftermath, the Armament Haki blocked most of the damage, but it scorched his arms red and shiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So hot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo grinned in pain, looked at his arms, and saw large patches of skin peeling off like lacquer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling was too familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature and lethality of Hanafuda's blow were comparable to the magma erupted by Akainu at close range!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, does this make sense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You're a T-Rex, why can you spray dragon breath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't reacted in time and used the opponent's tail to block most of the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm afraid his arms would have been melted by now, leaving only white bones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like spraying fire, huh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also got angry, the veins on his arms bulging, and no matter how Hanafuda struggled, he still clamped the dragon's tail tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Xia Nuo exerted force suddenly, lifted the entire T-Rex over his head, and didn't swing it back and forth anymore, but spun it in the air, just like a helicopter propeller—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spraying that ray, Hanafuda's aura weakened a lot, and now under this high-speed rotation torture, it was decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Hum hum!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rotation speed became faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it exceeded a hundred circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanafuda's roar and roar turned into intermittent wails in the high-speed rotation, and the already scarred tail was almost torn off by Xia Nuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The T-Rex was suddenly released, and under the combined cooperation of centrifugal force and inertia, the huge body like a small mountain was actually thrown high into the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty meters, one hundred meters, the height kept climbing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the next instant, his knees bent slightly, the ground burst, and he shot into the sky like a cannonball!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish swish swish!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few flashes, his figure appeared above the T-Rex instantly, his right leg raised high, pitch-black Armament Haki spreading from his ankle to his entire lower leg like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like spraying fire, then spray it again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo grinned ferociously, bent his knees and fell, his right leg slashing down like a battle axe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rankyaku: Ripple Meteor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Thump*—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kick smashed heavily into the T-Rex's abdomen, and the visible ring-shaped air wave exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chest and abdominal scales in the T-Rex form instantly collapsed and shattered, and the internal organs were almost displaced under the terrifying impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanafuda was in so much pain that his eyes were red, and he suddenly turned his head to bite, but Xia Nuo resisted with Tekkai, and the sharp teeth rubbed against the shoulder covered in Armament Haki, sparking dazzling sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No strength to spray fire, but still have strength to bite, huh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo's smile became more and more ferocious. \"But this kind of method can't threaten me anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled his right fist back, the terrifying aura gathered like a vortex, his entire arm muscles knotted and expanded a circle, veins bulging like snakes and insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final blow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elbaf Spear—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the low shout that suddenly sounded in his ears, Hanafuda looked up in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy... how can he do this move like Brother Kaido?!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ikoku (Nation of Sovereignty)!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanafuda couldn't react at all, the surging fist wind had already been released toward his abdomen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the shrill screams, the T-Rex's limbs hung down powerlessly, and the entire body fell faster than it rose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The T-Rex's huge body smashed into the desert like a meteor, and the terrifying impact instantly set off towering sand waves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire desert was detonated like a small mushroom cloud, the violent shockwave exploded in a ring, and yellow sand surged into the sky, covering the sun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Splash!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sand within a few kilometers collapsed frantically, forming a giant crater with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and the gravel on the edge poured inward like a waterfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the pit, scorching high temperatures continued to steam up, the air twisted and deformed, and when the dust settled, the T-Rex's body had turned back into human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanafuda was covered in blood, lying in the center of the deep pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest was deeply collapsed, his arms were twisted at strange angles, and he was still vomiting blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough... cough cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, Hanafuda finally managed to lift his upper body with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his blurred vision, a slender figure was walking slowly on the sand waves, looking down at him from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, I said I wanted to end this, so it should have ended, but you didn't believe me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanafuda tried hard to open his eyes and finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-haired boy at this moment was clearly covered in blood, his arms scorched and torn by the high temperature, but his aura was even more ferocious than when the battle started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those pitch-black eyes, the fighting spirit that made him shudder was still burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the opponent still had a last bit of strength left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of strength, speed, physical technique... or the physique he was most proud of, the opponent was actually a notch stronger than himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not as good as the opponent...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanafuda completely gave up his last resistance, lay down powerlessly, and smiled miserably:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today is my bad luck. I specifically picked a good day to come to Alabasta to collect debts, but I happened to run into a monster like you... Forget it, too much talk is nonsense, do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I'll give you a quick one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo said in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanafuda grinned and closed his eyes, waiting quietly for death to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo drew the katana from behind, stepped forward, his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the charm of this sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who roam here, regardless of their faction, whether they are noble or inferior, whether they keep their hearts or harm others everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who can become famous for a while and call themselves heroes, when the fate of death arrives, they all have some pride and backbone, and have long been prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, occasionally, there are a few shameless exceptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hanafuda in front of him clearly didn't belong to this category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo, covered in blood, stepped out of the sand pit and came to the riverbank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Sandora River bank was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the residents of the oasis city on the opposite bank, or the sailors and merchants on the merchant ships, all stared with wide eyes, staring fixedly at the figure of the black-haired boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Won... won?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone spoke tremblingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WON!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire riverbank erupted in deafening cheers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too strong! That's a Warlord with an original bounty of 500 million Berries! He was defeated so quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hanafuda is dead! The Hanafuda Pirates are completely finished! We are saved!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Xia Nuo! Lord Xia Nuo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sailors on the merchant ships waved their hats excitedly, and some even knelt on the deck, kowtowing heavily toward the riverbank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you! Thank you for saving us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to run out at all, we would all have died here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long live the Looming Pirates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot! Didn't you hear Lord Xia Nuo say before, it's an adventure group!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right right right, long live the Looming Adventure Group!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cheers swept across the riverbank like a tide, and some people even jumped into the river excitedly, swimming desperately toward the shore, wanting to look up at this young hero from a close distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not everyone was like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the opposite side of the riverbank, Xia Nuo clearly sensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many local residents of Alabasta still had wariness and fear in their eyes when looking at him, and even hatred mixed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he defeated Hanafuda who was about to start a massacre and saved them, but this was the reaction?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo shrugged, having expected this long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this is Alabasta. The last national hero of this country, Crocodile, just died in his hands not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Sand had been active in Alabasta for many years, actively hunting pirates, and had saved up a good reputation. Among the local residents, there were naturally many die-hard fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the scene of him and Hanafuda fighting, in the eyes of these people, would probably only be seen as a dog-eat-dog fight between villains, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo didn't care about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the result of the public being played and deceived by the mastermind behind the scenes. The truth would always come to light one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, the day the truth comes to light seems to be today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to sense something, turned his head, and looked to the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the riverbank there, besides his own crew, there was another group of people who had been waiting for him there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-haired girl at the head looked only twelve or thirteen years old, staring at him without blinking. Seeing him look over, she suddenly became excited and waved her arms frantically:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Xia Nuo, come here, here, here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo raised an eyebrow. When Hanafuda was on the phone, his voice was loud, and everyone on the riverbank could hear it clearly, so he had long known that Vivi would come on behalf of the royal family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this reaction... seems a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and this little girl were clearly meeting for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is the other party acting like a star-struck girl meeting her idol?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo's confusion was soon answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two sides met and introduced each other simply, Vivi entangled him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Popping up from the left for a while, then blocking the front right, asking questions endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Xia Nuo! So you're so young! Only a few years older than me! I'll call you Big Brother, can I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother Xia Nuo, how can your strength be so great? You can even throw a T-Rex around, so amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother Xia Nuo, what should I do to be as strong as you? Can you teach me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh eh eh, don't walk so fast, Big Brother Xia Nuo! You haven't answered my question yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo was annoyed by the little guy's noise. He would rather fight Hanafuda again than endure this torture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Royal Guard Captain who was accompanying them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That, Uncle, your name is Igaram, right? Is your Princess usually like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, no, Lord Xia Nuo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Igaram wiped his sweat and smiled awkwardly. \"Don't look at Princess Vivi's young age, she is usually very sensible, strong, and responsible. This time His Majesty the King fell ill in bed, and she knew the danger but still took the initiative to stand up and take on the mission...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it's because the Princess was too worried along the way, fearing that the people near the port had already fallen victim to Hanafuda.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Igaram spread his hands. \"However, after arriving with extreme tension, what she saw was the scene where Hanafuda was completely controlled by you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, her tense body relaxed instantly, and she subconsciously turned this relief into worship and respect for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Igaram understood the Princess's state of mind very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he had a similar mental journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Princess Vivi, who hadn't been exposed to much outside information, he had heard of the terrifying degree of the Warlord Hanafuda long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was an existence that had made a name for itself in the New World. And the result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just arrived at the riverbank with trepidation, and saw the giant, terrifying T-Rex on the opposite bank being thrown back and forth like a toy, almost without any ability to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, he was completely defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisis looming over the country dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one who did this was actually a boy who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome and clear appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing this shocking scene with his own eyes, who wouldn't feel admiration and awe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a middle-aged man of his age couldn't suppress his excitement and wanted to clear his throat and sing a song for the other party!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"La la, la—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the low tenor coming from his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo was even more annoyed and couldn't help but rub his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, he almost forgot that this uncle was an opera lover, the kind who would feel uncomfortable if he didn't sing a few lines a day, even when he was undercover in Baroque Works in the original timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after Igaram's explanation, he understood more or less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi was still young, and under the continuous fluctuation of emotions, she was easily influenced by the hero worship effect, the suspension bridge effect, the Tyndall effect, the Pythagorean theorem, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This eventually led to her becoming a fan girl with glowing eyes as soon as she saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, you guys are really bold. Because of this reason, you dared to take the initiative to approach me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nuo shook his head. \"Don't forget, I'm also a pirate with a bounty of 540 million Berries. Your national hero Crocodile also died in my hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How powerful you are, being able to defeat two Warlords in a row. If you really had any evil intentions toward our country, no matter how much we guarded, what would be the point?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Igaram stopped clearing his throat and said solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And, after this contact and conversation, your words and deeds, your way of handling things, didn't they just prove that our judgment was correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, who are willing to help when you see injustice, and saved so many merchant ships and local residents at once, are definitely not the vicious villain described in the newspapers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instead of guarding against you tremblingly, it's better to speak clearly and treat each other with sincerity. This is the hospitality we Alabastans, who grew up in the desert, believe in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2531,"2026-06-17T09:04:16.852Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f18499b49411f23613b8446ccb4b5342e058eb02de28043fa03170ecb90a901a","one-piece-starting-by-finding-red-haired-s-sever-chapter-88","one-piece-starting-by-finding-red-haired-s-sever-chapter-86",139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-starting-with-shanks-severed-arm-cover.jpg"]
