West Sea.
It can be said to be a very powerful sea area.
The famous birthplace of the Mafia, the five major Mafia families that rule the underground society all made their fortunes here, the more famous one being the Capone family.
The Eight Treasure Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers is also a powerful force that gives the navy quite a headache.
The most famous among them is Qingjiao, the 12th generation pillar of the Babao Navy.
Legend has it that his teacher Garp used eight mountains to practice boxing in order to deal with Qingjiao. He did not fight Qingjiao until he razed the eight mountains to the ground.
Then, he punched the head that he was proud of and dented it.
The move passed down from generation to generation by the Eight Treasure Marines, the Eighth Chong Fist, is also extremely famous. Its principle and effect are almost the same as those of Wano Country's Ryuzakura Haki.
It can be said that the Babao Navy is definitely a very powerful force.
There are many famous strong men in the world who came from this sea area.
Such as the future Yonko Red-haired Shanks, Moonlight Moria, Brooke, Lafitte, San Juan Wolf, etc.
In addition, there are also world-famous archaeological holy sites.
O'Hara.
Thinking of this, Xia Le's eyes narrowed slightly.
In fact, he had a very deep memory of O'Hara in his heart, and he had always paid attention to it.
Because he clearly remembered that when he met Vegapunk, he once said that his hometown originated from this island.
Xia Le had no memory of his predecessor, almost a blank.
and.
What caught his attention even more was the future outcome of this island.
Because of the interpretation of historical texts and the study of eight hundred years of history, the island was eventually destroyed by the World Government and the Demon-Slaying Order.
It can be said that O'Hara is now heading towards destruction step by step.
Two years.
With just two years left, O'Hara would be destroyed.
At that time, how should he choose?
It is to lend a hand to help, or to watch indifferently.
"The Kingdom of Flowers is not easy to deal with, but they don't dare to attack the navy easily."
"In addition, the strength of some other kingdoms' escorts cannot be ignored."
Crocodile's words came from his ears.
"The five major mafia families control the underground forces in the entire West China Sea."
When Xia Le heard this, he narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke.
"What's the Navy's attitude toward them?"
Crocodile was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It seems that he doesn't pay much attention to these guys."
"As long as the surface calm is maintained, the Navy has never actively provoked these forces."
Xia Le nodded.
"Then we can live a peaceful life."
Although he said this, he knew it very well in his heart.
Two years later, I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down no matter what.
Near noon, the warship arrived at the G-18 Fortress.
The huge iron door slowly opened. From the outside, it looked majestic and majestic, somewhat like Malinfando's Gate of Justice.
The huge inner bay is sparkling, and there are more than ten warships parked at the port.
Countless huge, towering steel structures and majestic buildings stand in front, and at intervals, naval forces stand upright.
And as the Xia Le warship sailed into the fortress, the entire base was filled with excitement.
"The new commander is here!"
"Hurry! Hurry! The welcome ceremony we have prepared is here!"
"That's our legendary navy, Lieutenant General Xia Le!"
Groups of marines quickly poured out of the base. Within a moment, they were arranged in a neat line. At a glance, they were densely packed and quite spectacular.
Everyone standing on the bow of the ship was looking ahead.
Crocodile was a little surprised in his eyes. The sight of countless naval forces gathering into the square in front was undoubtedly a bit shocking.
Compared to the size of the pirate group, the number of naval forces in the base in front of them is exaggerated.
"Eight thousand!"
"Or ten thousand!?"
Crocodile murmured.
"It's thirteen thousand people!"
Barrett crossed his fists and grinned.
There was also some surprise in his eyes. He did not expect that there would be such a large number of naval forces in this fortress base.
"It's ours!"
Xia Le said softly.
At this moment, the feeling in his heart was different from every time he was promoted before.
The 13,000-strong navy in front of him was managed by him alone from the moment the warship sailed into the fortress. And this huge and majestic Xiongguan Fortress will completely belong to him.
The feeling of having no one under you is definitely completely different from having 13,000 people.
overlord!
From a certain point of view, he, Xia Le, is truly the overlord of the West Sea from this moment on!
A big official in the border area, a warlord!
All kinds of words flashed through his mind. Even Xia Le, who had experienced countless battles, couldn't help but feel proud and a little excited at this moment.
But in just a moment, he suppressed this emotion and regained his composure.
"If you leave it to me."
"I can train them into a team of elite soldiers and generals that belong to us!"
Barrett said solemnly.
He was born in the military and has his own ideas on how to train and manage soldiers.
His eyes narrowed, and then he said again.
"An army that only takes orders from us, and only takes orders from you!"
Hearing this, Xia Le's eyes flickered.
When the warship docked at the port, Xia Le and others walked off one by one, looking forward.
The neatly arranged and densely packed marines all stood upright, looking at them with gleams of excitement or curiosity.
The officer standing in the front row suddenly shouted loudly.
"salute!!"
In an instant, all the navy saluted.
The same action caused a "buzz" sound to be heard in the air.
Xia Le looked at this scene with a calm expression.
He strode to the front, glanced at everyone, and then slowly raised his hand in return.
"Hello, everyone!"
"I am Lieutenant General Xia Le, and I am also the person who will take over the position of commander at the G-18 base!"
There was calm in the square, and the sea breeze blew, causing the naval flags on the warships docked in the port to clatter and tremble.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the new commander at this moment.
"So, on the first day I met you."
"Can someone please give me a brief introduction to the specific situation of this fortress?"
Xia Le said slowly, his eyes falling on the female officer with the highest rank in the field.
The latter felt his gaze and immediately strode out of the team.
"The branch colonel Ivoya reports to you!"
Xia Le looked at the other party, first observing, then smiling.
"Then I'll trouble you, Eveya."
This female officer is obviously a swordsman. She carries a sword at her waist. She has a serious expression and a somewhat cold temperament. She wears black-rimmed glasses and her black hair is tied into a ponytail, giving people a very refreshing and pure feeling.
As for how much strength he has, Xia Le doesn't know.
But being able to hold the highest military rank in this base shouldn't be bad.
"This is what I should do!"
Eveya said softly.
Then, a pair of eyes looked at the young lieutenant general with curiosity.
