On board the King of Alabasta.
"Why don't you keep her?"
"Hancock must be very beautiful when he grows up. Although he is still fifteen or sixteen years old now, he has already revealed the outline of a beautiful woman."
Eveya looked at the coast of Shampoo Island, and there was an unknown meaning in her voice.
"Let her go and there will be a better future."
Xia Le smiled lightly.
He naturally recognized the sour taste in his adjutant's words.
The two have worked together for many years and it can be said that they already know each other very well.
"Sometimes, I wonder what kind of woman would be able to spend the rest of my life with a man like you."
Ifya sighed, there was an inexplicable flavor in her words.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Xia Le shook his head and said.
"Where's Hancock?"
Eveya said.
"I can clearly hear the sourness in your tone."
Xia Le smiled.
"Sir~~"
Eveya blushed with embarrassment.
"Do what you have to do!"
"Xihai still has a lot of chores to do!"
"and."
Having said this, Xia Le sighed again and frowned.
"Alabasta should also start paying attention. Notify Barrett to select a group of instructors and change their appearance to train the army here."
After a pause, Xia Le hesitated slightly and said again.
"Forget it, let Barrett go on a business trip in person for a while."
"The strength of Alabasta's royal army must be improved as soon as possible."
"In the future, we may be able to use it."
As soon as work was mentioned, Ifuya immediately became serious: "Yes!"
Seeing the other party turn and leave, Xia Le's eyes narrowed slightly.
The trip to the Holy Land made him feel a greater sense of urgency, and he also learned a little about the power of the World Government.
"How much time will it take to train your subordinates?"
"To the point where you can fight them?"
After muttering, Xia Le quickly shook his head and sighed.
"I'm afraid it's difficult!"
"Compared to cultivating, uniting, wooing, and subduing people with potential on your own, it seems to be more reliable!"
"If I can capture the navy in my hands!"
A flash of depth flashed in his eyes, and Xia Le fell into deep thought.
This is very possible. It is unlikely in the current era when Kong is the marshal. But after the Warring States period, based on the unbreakable bond between the two parties, he has great hopes for that term of marshal.
Once he can hold the navy in his hands, he will instantly have a large amount of high-level combat power.
Such as Garp, Warring States, Zefa, He, the older generation of strong men, etc. Another example is Kizaru, Kuzan and other backbone forces at that time.
"Coupled with the technology in Vegapunk's hands, artificial humans."
Xia Le's eyes flashed with light.
"But this is a long plan!"
"Before that, we have to gain the trust of the Navy, try to curb our own shine, and maintain our growth without letting it go."
The murmuring voice came out slowly, and soon dissipated.
A month later, the ship arrived in Alabasta.
Xia Le bid farewell to Cobra, and Cobra was very sad and reluctant to say goodbye.
"I will send my men to train the Kingdom Guards."
"This will enhance Alabasta's top combat capabilities."
"In addition, the demand for weapons will be met through other methods."
Kobra sighed softly when he heard this: "Then I'll leave it to you!"
"Once the family's affairs are exposed, we will definitely fight against them. Before that, we must do everything we can to increase the power in our hands!"
Xia Le smiled and nodded.
Afterwards, the two sides parted.
The warship soon left Alabasta, passed through the windless zone, and headed towards the West Sea.
The commander-in-chief of Xihai is very busy with his affairs, and has been delayed a lot these days.
——
Fishman Island.
"Brother Tiger is back!"
"Really? He actually escaped from the Celestial Dragons!"
"It's incredible! Brother Tiger is simply a hero!"
"······"
In the street, figures rushed out one after another, looking at the fish-man surrounded by everyone, with excitement and excitement on their faces.
Fisher Tiger is the eldest brother of Fishman Street. He has been fighting since childhood and is loved and respected by everyone.
"Brother Tiger, how did you escape from there?"
In the crowd, a simple-faced figure asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, Fisher Tiger frowned. After seeing the person coming, his expression softened: "Jinbei, we will discuss this matter later."
"Brother Tiger, you must have suffered a lot there!"
"It's all humans' fault. Please lead everyone out to sea. We will let those hateful humans learn how powerful the fishmen are!"
Another figure shouted loudly.
"Aaron, calm down your anger."
"Even humans are not all bad!"
Fisher Tiger glared and scolded.
"You must be doing something when you come back this time, right?"
"If you go out again, be sure to take us with you!"
The person on the left also said loudly.
"Hody Jones, you were right."
"When I come back this time, I do have some ideas."
"But one thing I am anxious to do now is to go to Ryugu Castle and meet His Majesty Neptune and Princess Otohime."
Fisher Tiger said in a deep voice.
"What did you do with them?"
Jinbei said doubtfully.
"We may agree on some aspects."
Fisher Tiger's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice.
The people in Fishman Street all looked puzzled. They didn't understand what the elder brother said.
A moment later, Fisher Tiger arrived at Dragon Palace City.
His arrival surprised the fishmen guarding the entrance of the Dragon Palace, because almost everyone knew that the other party had been captured by the Tianlong people.
Soon, Fisher Tiger entered Dragon Palace City at the invitation of Neptune.
"It's really surprising that you can escape after entering a place like that!"
"Fisher Tiger, you are a leader-like hero to the fish-men clan!"
Neptune said in amazement.
Fish-Man Island has always been on the same level as humans, and has long been troubled by being reduced to slaves. Being caught in Mariejoia is almost a dead end, and you will suffer unimaginable pain.
Being able to escape from there is something worthy of awe and even worship for any fishman.
As Neptune said, this is the hero of the fish people, a real fish man.
"I've been through hell on earth."
"Even if I escape from there now, just thinking about it still makes me tremble all over!"
Fisher Tiger didn't care about the word hero in the opponent's mouth, but his eyes shot out flames and his two fists were clenched.
"And there are thousands of people like me who are in desperate situations and suffering endless suffering!"
Gritting his teeth, Fisher Tiger said.
"I can't understand that humans, humans, mermaids, and murlocs are all equal!"
"But these people are capable of such cruel things!"
"I can't bear it anymore, I have to do something!"
Hearing this, Neptune and Princess Otohime were both slightly shocked.
Especially the latter, he could hear the sadness and howling in the heart of the fish-man hero in front of him. The moment she touched it, tears burst out of her eyes.
"what you up to?"
Neptune took a breath and asked in a deep voice.
Fisher Tiger's eyes were confused at first, and then became determined.
He thought back to the sun that shone behind Marie Joa when the man saved him.
"sun!"
"I want to bring the sun to all slaves!"
The sonorous and powerful words came out, shocking Neptune.
"This world is not all bad people. There are also great people who believe in equality between people and fish-men!"
"I want to spread the seeds of the sun!"
"Free all slaves and free the imprisoned thoughts in everyone's hearts!"
Fisher Tiger said in a deep voice.
Then, he turned and left.
Neptune and Princess Otohime looked at the slowly disappearing figure with a hint of respect in their eyes.
——
Daughters Island, Amazon Lily.
"Boya Hancock!"
"You are finally back!"
"Where have you been all these years?"
Granny Niu shouted happily.
"Not going anywhere!"
Looking at each other, the three sisters said loudly in unison.
They decided to hide their dark history as slaves of the Celestial Dragons, which was a lifelong shame for the three of them.
"We must work hard to practice and strive to have strong power as soon as possible!"
"The power to rival that man!"
Boya Hancock said loudly with firm eyes.
"good!"
"Since you have such ambition, the next king of the daughter kingdom is you!"
Granny Niu smiled.
"King of the Daughter Kingdom?"
"You should be qualified to pursue that man, right?"
Boya Hancock's heart moved, and the light in his eyes suddenly became brighter.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and we came to the year 1509 of the Haiyuan calendar.
Xia Le was busy with affairs in the West Sea this year, and under Bega Punk's constant urging, he collected rare materials and ores for him.
According to Vegapunk, Kozuki Oden, who was sent there a few years ago, is about to be transformed.
For this reason, he was still a little confused until the other party explained.
"This guy's body has already reached its limit. It's hard to say whether he can even keep his consciousness."
"I can only try my best to reform it. If I am lucky enough to awaken my consciousness, it will be the best."
"But don't get your hopes too high."
These words undoubtedly showed that this man, Kozuki Oden, had lost consciousness when Zeus sent him to the empty island.
"Also, I successfully transformed the body of the golden lion."
"He is already a qualified artificial human! I call him PX-Golden Lion! Symbolizing peace!"
"The first-generation Seraph machine has been updated to the fifth generation. It is made based on the blood factors of you and the Lunalia clan. It can use simple thunder and fire attacks."
"But mass production is not yet possible."
"PX-Golden Lion, pacifist, after a while, he should be able to come in handy!"
"Compared to Seraph, its power is smaller, but its production cost is also more cost-effective."
Vegapunk said during the call.
Xia Le was a little surprised, but also a little disappointed.
It turns out that Kozuki Oden has not yet been successfully built and is still in a coma. In other words, it is a vegetative state.
He continued to wait silently until one day, a shocking news came from the Holy Land of Mariejoia.
