The voice fell.

The flying squirrel lying on the ground next to him had a strange look on his face.

It has been so long, but my impression of Nosha still remains at the time when William was in the Shichibukai.

Didn’t you know that this guy just defeated Du Galileo, who had a bounty of 500 million beli, just a few months ago?

"This guy is a user with diamond fruit ability, and his physical strength is very strong. Be careful."

Although he was very confident in Nuo Xia's strength, he still turned his head and reminded the latter with difficulty.

"rest assured."

Nuo Xia waved his hand, signaling the flying squirrel to retreat from the battlefield. His eyes turned and landed on Diamond Jozi's face, his brows slightly furrowed.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

He always felt that there was something strange about the Diamond Jozi in front of him, and it was slightly different from the image in his impression.

In addition, the Whitebeard Pirates are now facing challenges from the other two Yonko in the new world. They are short of manpower. There is no reason why this guy would appear here in the park, right?

There was no time to think about it, because when Qiaozi saw that he didn't answer, he laughed angrily, raised his fists with a ferocious expression, and hit Nuo Xia on the head head on!

"Since you want to be the scapegoat, then I will help you!"

Nuo Xia raised his head slightly and looked at the fist that was rapidly enlarging in his eyes. He still stood there with a calm expression, as if he had no desire to take action or dodge.

clang!

There was a dull loud noise, and a giant fist made of diamonds landed on Nuo Xia's head.

However.

Under the combined effect of the "Steel Skull" and "Rough Skin" skills, Nuo Xia's body remained motionless, his forehead was only slightly sunken, and then quickly returned to its original shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"That's it?"

Nuo Xia raised his head as if nothing had happened, looked at Jozi with a look of disbelief on his face, and shook his head slightly, "Too weak... You don't even have the strength to hit anyone, so you have the nerve to say that you are Whitebeard's captain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He clenched his backhand into a fist and smashed it into Diamond Jozi's waist and abdomen at an incredible speed.

Boom!

The dull loud noise made the surrounding ground tremble.

After just holding on for a second or two, Diamond Jozi flew upside down like a puppet with its strings cut off, screaming and crashing into a siege machine dozens of meters away.

Wow!

The huge siege equipment collapsed instantly, and the few pirates who had no time to dodge became stepping stones. Unluckily, they were pressed under the flying strong men, and they immediately fainted as they rolled their eyes.

"what's the situation……"

The pirate captain in the distance transformed into a giant black bull. When he saw this scene, his eyes widened and he broke into a cold sweat:

"Did that new navy brat actually suppress Diamond Jozi in terms of strength?"

Are you kidding me?

Diamond Jozi, isn't he the most famous for his physical strength among the squad captains under Whitebeard?

"Ahem..."

Among the rubble, Qiaozi looked at Nuo Xia with his hands on his chest, gritted his teeth, as if he was not convinced, and rushed forward with a fist again:

"Bastard... come again!"

"You still want to fight?"

Nuo Xia looked at Qiaozi who was getting closer and closer, and sneered. He still had no intention of drawing out his sword. He suddenly closed his left hand, wrapped it with layers of air waves, and punched out hard!

boom!

The low muffled sound, like the thunder behind the gathering of dark clouds, spread in all directions.

In the eyes of countless people, the two fists with disproportionate power and size collided violently, and the winner was instantly determined. Nuo Xia only took six or seven steps back and easily stabilized his body.

.

And on the opposite side is Jozi.

Then his body flew out like a cannonball, his feet plowed a deep ravine dozens of meters long on the ground, and he crashed through several big trees before finally clearing up the aftermath and crashing into a huge boulder and stopping.

.

puff!

He spat out a large mouthful of blood and gasped violently for a while before finally staggering to his feet.

Compared to the arrogant and fierce appearance just now, Diamond Jozi was as angry as a hairspray and pale in face at this moment. If it weren't for the indestructible diamond protection ability, most of the impact was removed.

Perhaps at this moment, he was already unconscious on the spot like those unlucky pirates who were affected.

"The real Diamond Jozi's physical strength is not so bad, and his grasp of the fruit's abilities is not so superficial."

Passing through the diffuse smoke and dust, Nuo Xia put away Yongen's swords, walked step by step, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, who are you?"

"...Hohohohoho, have you been discovered?"

It was obvious that he was running out of gas, but facing the approaching Nuo Xia, Diamond Jozi not only showed no fear, but instead grinned and let out a high-pitched laugh:

"It's really disappointing. Sure enough, the number of times I imitated that guy Jozi was still too few. With his form, I can't use my full strength..."

Whoosh!

The moment the words fell, the figure of "Diamond Jozi" blurred and changed. Between the distortion of light and shadow, the originally tough muscular man disappeared and turned into another image that Nuo Xia was quite familiar with.

He has a golden punk head like a pineapple, half-open fish eyes, a dagger on his waist, and a black tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates on his chest...

Whitebeard Pirates, Captain of the First Division, "Phoenix" Marco!

"...What on earth happened!"

"Where's that Diamond Jozi guy? How did he become like that Phoenix Marco!"

People who witnessed this scene from a distance suddenly burst into an uproar. The navy looked at the slender figure in surprise and uncertainty. Even the pirates were so shocked that their mouths opened.

Especially those pirates who joined the "Diamond Pirates".

They were following Diamond Jozi's reputation, so as soon as they heard that the other party was preparing a pirate group, they rushed over to join him as soon as possible!

Why do you look like you are stupid now and have taken refuge in the hands of an impostor?

"Ah, as expected, it's much more comfortable like this."

Phoenix Marco lowered his head slightly, looked at the injuries on his body, and snapped his fingers indifferently. A ball of blazing blue flames suddenly emerged, covering the injured parts.

Within a few breaths, those external injuries recovered quickly, and his body was like a real "Phoenix".

"After the transformation, even the tone and demeanor have become completely different..."

Looking at the "Marco" opposite, Nuo Xia raised his eyebrows, and for the first time, he showed great interest in the opponent in front of him:

"But these are not important. You can even imitate your abilities. It's interesting. Who are you...?"

"Beat me, and you will be qualified to know."

Marco smiled at him, as if his whole person had become gentle and lazy due to the change in his image, "Or..."

But the next moment, he broke the disguise!

"When you die in my hands, I will let you know clearly before sending you on your way!"

Tsk!

The sound of breaking wind suddenly became louder, and Marco's body twisted for a while, and suddenly turned into a blue phoenix, waving its wings, and swooped towards Nuoxia at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to catch!

"Did the speed also become faster..."

Nuo Xia narrowed his eyes and silently clenched the sword of Azakana with his right hand, "It seems more interesting."

Buzz!

The wind sword was unsheathed and struck at Azakana, who was already without a sheath. The two figures were intersecting each other rapidly. In just a few breaths, they had already fought for dozens of rounds.

In this fierce conflict, Nuo Xia gradually realized the abnormality of the Phoenix's ability. Although the sword energy he slashed could cut through the opponent's defense, it could even directly penetrate the Phoenix's body.

However, due to the Phoenix's self-healing ability, it barely left much substantial damage and was quickly recovered by the opponent.

"It's such a difficult ability, and your mastery of the Phoenix Fruit seems to be much more proficient than the Diamond Fruit..."

After hundreds of rounds of fighting, Nuoxia's offensive did not achieve much results, but he was still not impatient. Instead, he smiled leisurely at Marco when he had time to get close to each other:

"But who can afford to delay it better? It seems you have noticed it, right?"

"..."

Marco, who was opposite him, did not answer when he heard this. The proud look on his face had disappeared, and now his face was gloomy as if it was about to drip.

Just like Nosha said.

Although relying on the self-regeneration ability of the phoenix allows him to remain immortal for a long period of time, in most battles, this alone can defeat opponents of comparable strength.

But now that he has fought against Nuo Xia, he has found to his disbelief that he is still at a disadvantage when it comes to self-repair!
