With Crocodile joining Xia Le's team, their combat effectiveness will undoubtedly increase.
In the next half month, Crocodile showed his powerful attack power as a natural ability, sweeping away almost all target pirate groups.
Sandstorms appear in a flash, and they can create salon rolls at will. At the same time, the moment their right hand touches the opponent's body, it can suck away any moisture from the target.
The Shasha Fruit definitely possesses terrifying offensive power and is full of plunder and invasion capabilities.
But this former sand crocodile, a great pirate who has recently been active on the sea, shows a completely opposite personality compared to the past.
He is cautious and wise, and he is gentle and polite to his colleagues. When performing tasks and encountering children among civilians, he has a kind heart.
This made T Penn, Evans and others amazed.
No one could have imagined that a great pirate with a notorious reputation would become a new person after losing his memory.
Of course, the whole ship has a very tacit understanding, and no one will reveal anything about the other party's previous affairs.
On this day, after completing the rescue mission and returning to the warship, Crocodile finally couldn't bear it any longer. He mustered up the courage to come behind Xia Le and asked the question he had been wondering about in recent days.
"Sir Xia Le!"
"Why did those pirates recognize me?"
"You also said that I abandoned the ideals of pirates?"
"Who was I before?"
Hearing this, Xia Le turned around. There was no smile on his face, nor did he respond. Instead, he stared into the other person's eyes.
After a long time, he slowly spoke.
"Xiao Sha."
“Does the past really matter?”
"No matter what kind of past you have or who you are? Aren't you living in the present now?"
"So, who are you now! What kind of person are you! This is the most important thing!"
After a pause, a hint of emotion appeared in Xia Le's eyes.
"Actually, like you, I have no idea what I went through before I was 17!"
"But I'm living very well now, right?"
Crocodile was stunned when he heard this. He looked at himself in front of him, the most cherished, trusted, and awe-inspiring superior: "You have also forgotten the past."
"Living in the moment!"
"Xiaosha!"
Xia Le smiled.
The confusion disappeared from Crocodile's eyes, and then he nodded solemnly: "Yes, sir!"
"Go and practice. Your physical fitness and physical skills still need to be honed!"
"You must know that although the natural ability is powerful, in the exchange of experts, oneself is the key factor in the final showdown."
Xia Le reached out and patted the other party's shoulder.
Crocodile turned around neatly, stood with Rosinandi and others, and then continued their practice today.
Time continued to pass, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.
The sea has undoubtedly experienced a lot this year. Roger becoming the Pirate King has set off many pirates' crazy behaviors.
While the Xia Le team was suppressing these pirates, they could often hear information from Kuzan and Sakaski. Like themselves, they were active on the sea, and they had grown from immature graduates to A mature rear admiral.
As for Porusalino, it seemed that under the arrangement of his headquarters, he served as the deputy commander-in-chief of a certain fortress and began his life of clocking in and going to work.
The strength of the team members under his command has also rapidly improved through training and constant fighting.
It is worth mentioning that after Xia Le pondered over the past few months, the armed domineering energy originally hidden in his body was finally guided out by him and fully controlled.
Although there is only a trace, it can be displayed on the panel.
"Armed color, lv0+."
This simple message brought a smile to Xia Le's lips.
It undoubtedly means that I can add points to it.
From the system points accumulated at the Naval Academy and in the battles during this period, he had accumulated fifty-eight points.
In this regard, he immediately clicked on the armed color domineering without any hesitation.
In an instant, Armed Color Haki rose to level fifty-eight.
In an instant, an inexplicable sense of the aura of his body and the outside world swept over him, and at the same time, his consciousness moved slightly. On the gloves he was wearing, a touch of aura covered it, and quickly extended to wrap around one arm.
"Armed colors."
Xia Le laughed.
Although the weapon color is no better than the Sea Tower Stone in terms of suppression effect on fruit ability users, it can increase one's attack power, defense power, and can capture natural fruit ability users.
The fifty-eighth level armed color can already be attached to and wrapped around him from the head to the horizontal arm position below the chest.
At the same time, Xia Le also discovered that he could easily use Liuying, an advanced method of using weapon colors.
Of course, when using it, there will still be phenomena that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t work.
"This way, there will be more and more effective ways to deal with Devil Fruit users."
Xia Le said with a smile.
On the other side, Crocodile, who was communicating with Rosinandi with a smile on his face, suddenly got a blur and fragmented images suddenly appeared in his mind.
There are scenes of him running with his feet as a child, riding a boat and going out to sea in excitement, and even eating a strange fruit.
Everything is broken and incoherent.
But Crocodile instantly understood that this was a memory from his past.
"My memory is returning?"
"But it's too broken!"
At this time, Rosinandi noticed something was wrong with him and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Lao Sha?"
"fine!"
Crocodile shook his head and smiled.
"Speaking of which, we, as trainees, have participated in so many battles, so we should be turning into the official navy soon, right?"
Mina said curiously.
Although the five of them were originally pirates, their lives after becoming marines were quite comfortable. The most important thing is that the way this superior treats civilians makes them very satisfied and relaxed.
Evans once commented privately and believed that the superior and they were actually on the same side.
"That would be great."
Crocodile grinned.
"I like the cloak of justice behind Commander Xia Le."
Evans laughed when he heard this: "The justice on some people's cloaks is hypocrisy, but the justice behind Xia Le's death is true justice."
Crocodile smiled and said: "If I had that cloak, I would definitely be a true justice."
"me too!"
Rocinante shouted.
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was lively.
Obviously, everyone on this warship respected Xia Le very much.
This kind of reverence stems from the different attitudes shown by the other party towards civilians and some disgusting nobles when performing tasks on weekdays.
Another day passed, and news came from the headquarters.
"There is a very important task for you to perform!"
The Marshal Kong who spoke had a serious tone.
"Important mission?"
Xia Le asked doubtfully.
"Originally I was going to hand it over to Sakaski, but he was temporarily busy. After my communication with Warring States, I judged that your strength and the power on the ship under your command are undoubtedly more suitable."
Kong said in a deep voice.
From the other party's tone and words, Xia Le could tell that this task might be really important.
"So, you need to meet up with Sakaski and hand over the precious items he carries."
"Finally, transport it to Egghead Island and hand it over to Vegapunk in person."
After listening to the mission carefully, Xia Le fell into silence.
After a moment, his eyes flickered.
"Marshal Kong!"
"I'm happy to accept this assignment."
