Capone Becky's gift opened up Xia Le's thinking and gave him many new ideas.
But things are done step by step, so naturally we can’t rush things.
For the time being, he does not plan to have more contact with organizations like the Mafia. Even if he does, it should be in a different manner.
Time passed slowly.
The commander's life is simple and unpretentious, without any disturbance.
Xia Le read newspapers and drank tea every day, and occasionally went fishing. He also supervised the training of soldiers by Barrett and others. His life was quite leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since Xia Le came to G-18 Fortress.
"Mishman Island belongs to Whitebeard."
"Tom was sentenced to death with a suspended sentence."
"The battle between Moonlight Moria and Hundred Beast Kaido occurred, and a tomb robbery incident occurred in Wano Country."
"······"
In the past two years, whether it was a long time or a short time, Xia Le often paid attention to the newspapers. He seemed to be isolated from the outside naval system and only focused on running his own G-18 fortress.
And the effect is also significant. The strength of this fortress today is naturally different from that of two years ago.
From thirteen thousand people, a nine-member team was selected. All physical qualities have reached superhuman levels and they are proficient in one or two of the six movements.
This team, which can be said to be an elite team under Xia Le, has carried out many military missions in the past two years and achieved good results.
More importantly, they only obey Xia Le's orders and have a strict bottom line of justice.
"Two years!"
Looking at the yard, Xia Le sighed softly.
"Giggle, Uncle Xia Le, you are in a daze again."
At this time, children's laughter suddenly came.
I saw a child about two years old running over with a smile, holding a ball in his hand, and said loudly.
"It's Ace!"
"Aren't you learning boxing from Uncle Barrett?"
"You also said that your fist is as hard as steel. How is it now?"
Xia Le said with a smile.
The freckled-faced, black-haired child in front of him is none other than Portcas D. Ace.
Two years ago, after Lu Jiu was brought to the base, she was born smoothly not long after. As for Ace, who was just born, he showed his superhuman talent and terrifying energy.
Xia Le takes each other everywhere to play every day.
"My fist is already as hard as steel!"
"I am very strong! I will surpass Uncle Xia Le in the future and become even stronger!"
Ace said in a sweet voice, but his eyes were very firm.
"Yeah?"
"You are so young, but you are very ambitious!"
Xia Le said with a smile, and then he asked curiously.
"So, you also want to be a navy in the future?"
Ace frowned at first and tried to think.
After a long while, he grinned.
"I want to be a navy too!"
"Be the King of the Navy!!"
"The future will be like Uncle Xia Le, catching all the bad guys in the world!"
Although Ace is only two years old, he is very smart, and he clearly remembers the time a year ago when he was captured by pirates and almost killed.
At that time, Xia Le descended like a god from the sky and easily dispatched a boatload of people.
It was also after that time that he wanted to work hard to become stronger.
"The navy has no king! Ace."
"Only a pirate is king."
Xia Le shook his head and laughed.
"Then I will be the Pirate King!"
Ace said with a puffed face.
"Okay, okay!"
"Then Uncle Xia Le, let's see how you become the king in the future!"
Xia Le laughed.
The two-year-old kid probably doesn't even know what One Piece is and can only talk nonsense.
Then, he lifted Ace, jumped up, and floated in the air.
Ace, who was still a child, immediately burst into cheerful laughter.
"Lift it high! Lift it high!"
Xia Le was infected by the children's laughter and couldn't help asking: "Is it tall?"
"high!"
Ace said in a milky voice.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A burst of laughter resounded throughout the navy headquarters.
"Did you see that? That's the chief's illegitimate son."
"He just took his mother's last name."
Secretly, Bucky looked up at the figure in the sky and whispered.
The navy next to them all looked surprised and excited at the same time.
The commander's illegitimate son!
Not far away was a white-haired boy with a dull face and a cigar in his mouth, turning a deaf ear to Bucky's words.
Two years have passed, and they have all become honorable lieutenants, and their own strength is not inferior to that of the navy who are older than them.
"This is top secret!"
"You know this only because you are my subordinate, Bucky, but you must remember."
"It must not be spread!"
Then, Bucky lowered his voice again.
But suddenly, a bright light flashed across the horizon, and lightning suddenly descended from the sky, shrouding his head.
"ah!"
Bucky looked up in panic, only to let out a scream before being drowned out by the lightning.
Several subordinate marines beside him were covered in smoke and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Deserve it!"
Not far away, Smoker blew out a puff of smoke and gloated.
It's been two years, but Bucky still hasn't gotten rid of his bad words and gossip.
at the same time.
Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.
"Demon-Slaying Order?!"
"They are obviously just a group of powerless scholars. Do we really want to attack them?"
Saron, who was huge and had been promoted to lieutenant general, looked shocked and said questioningly.
Hearing this, Zeng Guo, whose face was already ugly, suddenly raised his head.
"You just need to obey orders!"
"This is a top secret mission!"
"You will be involved as one of the five vice-admirals commanding the warship, Saron!"
Saron's body trembled, and his eyes showed disbelief: "Why do you have to do it to this extent?"
"Is this the kind of justice our navy is pursuing?"
"They are just a group of scholars who want to know history, and you want to take their lives?"
"You can give me proof that they are completely evil people!"
"and!"
"That's Xia Le's hometown, if he learns about this!"
"What will happen?"
Hearing Xia Le's name, Warring States' face was startled, and then it became even colder.
"No matter who it is, you must obey orders!"
"Lieutenant General Saron!"
When Saron heard this, he clenched his fists and looked at the superior Sengoku in the field, as well as Aoki and the others opposite him. He knew very well that no matter what he said, it would be in vain.
After turning around and walking out, his expression became solemn and ugly.
"Are they crazy?!"
"If this is justice for the Navy!"
Saron raised his head, determination flashing in his eyes.
He didn't join the navy just to carry out the task of wielding a knife on innocent people.
Soon after, he quickly returned to the warship and left a letter to his most trusted subordinate.
"Send this letter to Fortress G-18 in the West Sea and hand it over to Lieutenant General Xia Le."
After doing this, Saron looked at the tied female archaeologist in front of him.
"If anyone else can help us with this matter."
"That's all I can think of!"
Then, a surprising piece of news came out of the Navy.
Giant Lieutenant General Saron defected!
