Chapter 136 Xia Ya Country

[Series on the title page]

Kobra and Kosha looked at each other with smiles on their faces, their two large hands clasped tightly together.

All around were countless citizens cheering and raising their arms.

Weiwei stood not far away, tears welling up in her eyes, but an uncontrollable smile appeared on her face.

Further away, many royal soldiers and rebel soldiers were exchanging fist bumps, shaking hands, or embracing, their faces now only showing smiles, with none of their former hostility remaining.

The white clouds drift lazily in the sky, like adorable fluffy cotton candy.

The sea surface shimmered like a golden veil draped over a blue body.

Several seagulls flew by together, leaving behind a series of clear cries that grew louder as they approached and then faded into the distance.

Today marks the fourth day since Goku and his friends left Alabasta.

Since we left, the journey has been smooth sailing. When we stopped at an island along the route for supplies, nothing particularly unusual happened.

On the deck, Wukong was doing push-ups with the turtle shell on his back. From his back, a hand grew out and tightly gripped his tail.

Pupu followed suit, carrying a stone tortoise shell that she had crafted herself in Alabasta a few days ago, and huffed and puffed as she did push-ups.

Not far from them, Robin sat leisurely on a beach chair, engrossed in reading a book.

Nami sat opposite, occasionally taking out a permanent pointer to check if the ship was heading in the right direction, and sometimes observing the sea and weather to prevent the ship from entering any dangerous places.

After doing all that, she yawned lazily, looking equally content.

On the second floor of the ship's cabin, Sanji had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, one hand gripping the helm, but his gaze wasn't on the sea. Instead, he was staring at the two beautiful women below with a lovesick expression.

"Nami-san's outfit today is so cute, and Robin-chan, Robin-chan is just as charming today."

"Ah~~ if only I and two beautiful ladies were on board, how wonderful that would be~~"

He was so engrossed in his own fantasies that he couldn't pull himself out.

Not long after, a loud thud came from the deck. Pupu, exhausted and covered in sweat, collapsed on the ground, looking like he had burned out completely.

"Wow~~Wow~~" (Master, keep going! Your disciple can't do it anymore.)

Hearing the sound, Wukong turned his head and looked over, smiling as he said, "It's alright, Pupu. You've improved today compared to yesterday, and you'll become stronger and stronger in the future."

"Wow!" (This disciple will definitely succeed!)

Upon hearing the "poof" sound, Nami suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, poof, we all forgot to ask you before, didn't you say you trained in the desert? But why couldn't you last long?"

Pupu sat up and scratched her head sheepishly, "Waaah, waaah."

Nami didn't understand what it meant, so she looked at Goku.

Upon receiving the signal, Wukong did push-ups while saying, "It said that it used to only train on the edge of the desert, and it didn't last very long."

Upon hearing this, Nami twitched her lips, looking speechless.

"I knew it would be like this."

Just then, Sanji's voice came from the second floor: "Pupu, it's your turn to steer the boat! I need to go cook!"

Upon hearing the word "cooking," Pupu's eyes lit up like the sun in the sky, and an inexhaustible source of power seemed to surge within her, propelling her forward in a flash.

"Wow!" (I'm here!)

Hearing this, Wukong also stopped cultivating, sat down on the ground, rubbed his empty stomach, and laughed, "I'm hungry. Let's end the morning's cultivation here."

As he finished his cultivation, the arm on his back also disappeared silently.

"Nami, how many more days until we arrive?"

With nothing to do, Goku asked Nami about her.

"Hmm...it will probably take another three or four days."

Nami answered casually.

At this point, after leaving the previous island, the Dream Chaser was not heading towards the next island on its normal route, but rather towards an island it would not normally pass by.

The reason they ended up here dates back to the day Goku and his friends heard about the martial arts tournament from Cobra.

On that day, under Goku's eager and burning gaze, Cobra gave the answer: "In Xia's country."

Char Aznable Kingdom?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, because they were all unfamiliar with the name, except for Weiwei.

"I feel like I've heard that somewhere before," Vivi said, frowning in thought.

Cobra glanced at her and smiled slightly, saying, "When you were little, I took you to a world conference once, and we greeted the King of Xia."

With his prompting, Vivi finally remembered: "It seems like there was such a thing. Wasn't he a rather friendly old man?"

"Yes, he is my friend. He is a very good person. He doesn't have the airs or arrogance of a king. He is also very good to his people. He can be considered a good ruler."

At this moment, Nami spoke up and asked, "Uncle, do you mean this martial arts tournament you're talking about is being held in their country?"

Cobra looked at her and nodded: "That's right, the full name of this martial arts tournament is the First Martial Arts Tournament of Xia's Country, and it is hosted by Xia's Country itself."

He then introduced the Xia Kingdom and the martial arts tournament to everyone.

"The people in this country admire martial arts and prefer to stay at home to study martial arts. Even if they are quite skilled in martial arts, they rarely go out to cause trouble."

"Their martial arts tournament has been going on for quite a long time. I heard it started more than a hundred years ago and has been held every five years until now."

"However, one downside is that the competition is only open to people from their own country, and outsiders are not allowed to participate. As a result, the competition is not well-known outside of this country and attracts very few tourists."

"I once mentioned this to the King of Xia, suggesting that their martial arts tournament be opened to the outside world so as to attract more tourists and promote economic development. However, he disagreed, saying that opening it to the outside world would create too many unstable factors and threaten the lives and safety of the people."

"So it's normal that you haven't heard of this martial arts tournament before."

After his explanation, Goku and the others finally gained some understanding of this so-called First Martial Arts Tournament of Char's Country.

Nami thought for a moment and asked, "When was the most recent martial arts tournament held? Was it last month?"

Upon hearing this, Wukong also looked over closely.

According to Master Roshi, the World Martial Arts Tournament was held last month.

If the First Martial Arts Tournament of Xia's Country was also held last month, then it is very likely that it is the martial arts tournament he is looking for.

Cobra thought for two seconds and then shook his head.

"No, their martial arts tournament is always held at a fixed time, not last month, I remember..."

""

At this point, he frowned and fell into thought. Then he asked someone to bring him a calendar, and after looking through it for a while, he continued, "If I remember correctly, it should be held in about two weeks."

Upon hearing this, Wukong's eyes dimmed, but then brightened again.

"I need to go here. Maybe Master Roshi was wrong, or maybe I remembered it wrong!"

Nami glanced at him and, without much hesitation, immediately supported him, saying, "I support your idea, Goku. We've been searching for so long, and we finally found an event related to the martial arts tournament. We have to go and see if the two people you're looking for are there."

However, Wukong shook his head.

"No, I'm not just going there to find someone; I'm also going to participate in this martial arts tournament!"

As he said this, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

"There might be many experts there; I want to have a good match with them!"

"But didn't you hear what Uncle said? He said this martial arts tournament isn't open to the public, so even if you wanted to participate, you couldn't," Nami said helplessly.

At this moment, Cobra looked at the two of them and smiled slightly, saying, "Leave this to me. I will write a letter for you to take to the King of Xia. I believe he will agree to Goku's participation for my sake."

And so, instead of following the original route, Goku and his companions changed course and headed towards Char's country, relying on the permanent compass provided by Cobra.

The reason they didn't do that after leaving Alabasta was because Cobra said that if they sailed in the direction of the permanent compass after leaving Alabasta, they might enter a very dangerous sea area.

For safety reasons, it is recommended that they reach the next island on the route before following the permanent compass to Char's Kingdom.

Thus, Wukong and his companions began their current voyage.
