Xia Le didn't know when that vague idea started.
Will that stone kill the Celestial Dragon?
Do you have the choice of three Devil Fruits when you are awarded?
Or was it the admiration and awe in the eyes of the young sailors when he was in the academy?
He only knew that as his strength increased and his reputation in the navy increased, some strange thoughts began to appear in his mind.
He never knew what this kind of thing was.
It was only at this moment, looking down and taking in the entire naval headquarters, that I suddenly realized what was going on.
It's ambition.
Standing quietly at a high place, Xia Le's thoughts quickly became ethereal and extended, inexplicably recalling the past.
Two years ago, when he escaped from the Pokan family, he was exhausted and met a child of about eight years old.
Unlike other children, the other party is very precocious, and his eyes have maturity and vicissitudes that are not suitable for his age.
"Where is your father?"
Xia Le took the half piece of cracked black bread handed over by the other party.
"died!"
The child said.
"Where's mother?"
"Dead too!"
"Are there any other brothers and sisters in the family?"
"Yes, they are all dead!"
The voice was flat and calm, and you couldn't even hear any sadness or pain.
This made Xia Le startled, and he looked intently at the other party's dark, shiny eyes.
"Father disobeyed the nobility."
"My mother was spotted by the Tianlong people and beaten to death on the street."
"My brothers and sisters also died because they went to save my mother."
"That year, when I was four years old, I was so frightened that I escaped death."
The eight-year-old child calmly told what he had experienced.
Xia Le hesitated for a moment. He was shocked by the child's calmness: "Are you not sad at all?"
Two years had passed, but the child's calm expression and dark eyes when he turned his head were still unforgettable to him.
"I'm holding it in."
The words "I'm holding it in" completely broke Xia Le's guard.
Until that day, when he met the unknown Tianlong man, he didn't know him, and he didn't know him either.
From that moment on, Xia Le completely realized that there was something wrong with this world.
free? Hot-blooded? dream? beauty?
It's just a joke!
The truth is that it is cruel and cold to let an eight-year-old child calmly say "I'm holding it in".
He suddenly remembered another disciple that Garp would accept in the future, a young man named Kebi.
"If you feel that none of this is right, then work hard to become stronger, climb higher, and change everything!"
This is what his companion said to Kerby when he was confused.
Xia Le didn't know when he clenched his fists, but then slowly released them silently.
"It's not where you are that matters."
"But, what are you doing."
He turned and left.
In the afternoon of that day, Xia Le applied for his own warship.
A two-masted medium-sized warship, about the same size as Garp's ship. The only difference is that there are no soldiers on board.
When boarding the warship, Xia Le was followed by two people.
One of them is T. Penn, who just graduated not long ago. He respects and admires him. The other is about eleven or twelve years old, but he is very tall, over two meters tall, and his face is covered with strange non-mainstream colored ink.
"Boy, I originally wanted to wait for you to graduate and assign you to Xihai to serve as the deputy commander there."
"But since you want a warship, I understand."
"However, although I have an empty warship here, the soldiers cannot find it in a short time. You can find a way yourself."
"Whether you choose from other places or recruit yourself, I don't care."
Sora's words made Xia Le smile.
At this time, Warring States standing aside also came over with a friendly look on his face. After observing carefully for a few times, he chuckled again.
"Is there anyone missing? Xia Le?"
"I happen to have a nice guy here."
Then, regardless of whether Xia Le agreed or not, he pushed the boy over.
Yes, this is the unconventional guy behind him at this moment.
"Rosinandy, do you want a sailing session?"
Xia Le asked after boarding the warship.
The non-mainstream navy immediately shouted: "Report to Commander Xia Le, yes!"
"Okay, then I'll leave all the sailing, cleaning, cooking and other chores to you!"
Xia Le nodded and glanced at the other party.
Yes, the sailor who came over during the Warring States Period was none other than Rosinandi. I heard that he was a young man who had been rescued not long ago and had been keeping him with him.
His current identity is just a trainee navy.
"ah?"
Rosinandi was stunned and scratched his head.
"Am I responsible for all these things?"
Xia Le pointed at T. Penn, and then at himself: "Now, there are only three of us on the entire warship. You have the lowest rank. If it's not you, could it be your two superiors?"
Rocinante blinked, then sighed and said weakly: "Yes, sir."
T Penn hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.
Although Rosinandi is only in his teens, he has a great physique and strength. He looks about the same as an eighteen-year-old.
After a while, the warship quickly set sail and sailed through the Gate of Justice.
"where are we going?"
T Penn asked curiously.
"Champaign Islands."
"First of all, we do have too few manpower and need to recruit more."
"Second."
After a pause, Xia Le smiled softly again.
"The first mission assigned to me by Marshal Kong is to capture or annihilate the supernova group of pirates who caused trouble on the Chambord Islands not long ago."
Of course, the tasks assigned by the headquarters depend on the situation and are very flexible.
For example, by the time they arrive, all the pirates have run away, or they may encounter other emergencies.
"My subordinate understands!"
T. Penn nodded.
Rocinante was operating the rudder and observing his two superiors.
He had heard that Xia Le was said to be an extremely terrifying monster in the navy and a potential future general.
"Rosinandee."
Suddenly, the tall, muscular figure in front of him with his back turned called him.
"arrive!"
Rocinante replied immediately.
"Don't be so nervous, just relax!"
"after all."
After a pause, Xia Le looked at the sea ahead with a smile on his face.
"You are a Celestial Dragon!"
With just one sentence, the expressions of T. Penn and Rosinandi, who were standing next to them, suddenly changed.
"Oh my god, Celestial Dragon?!"
T Penn immediately turned around and looked at the tall child.
Rosinandi's pupils shrank, and he was a little dazed.
How would the other party know?
Only the Warring States Period should know about this matter!
Xia Le turned around, looked at the child in front of him, and smiled softly.
"Why is this nervous expression?"
"It used to be, but it's not anymore, right?"
Rocinante took a deep breath and nodded.
"Let's sail!"
"We still have a mission!"
Xia Le suddenly turned around and stopped talking about this topic.
The warship soon arrived at the port of the Shampoo Islands, which was completely different from what he had seen before.
There were gunshots everywhere and scenes of navy and pirates fighting.
"What a mess!"
Xia Le sighed, no wonder Kong would assign the task to him so quickly.
The pirates causing trouble in the Chambord Islands is almost tantamount to shitting on the navy's head. This situation is already quite serious.
At this moment, he seemed to sense something and turned his head to the right.
"boom!"
A dull gunshot sounded, and the bullet passed through his forehead.
"Sir!!"
Rosinandi's expression changed drastically, T Penn's eyes widened, and he pulled out the long knife from his waist.
Xia Le was stunned, a little stunned.
He looked at the increasing points on the system panel and reacted.
The first time he arrived at Shampoo Island, he was shot.
The corners of his mouth suddenly opened, and a smile appeared.
"It's interesting!"
