He couldn't remember how many years he hadn't heard this name again.
From that day on, the other party became a general. After celebrating his old friend for three days and three nights, he suddenly heard a more serious news.
It can be said that Simbu watched his old friend grow from an unknown soldier to a world-famous general.
He is a witness to the other party's tortuous life and a loyal believer of the other party.
The thing is, after the battle with the Roger Pirates that year, he became a legend among the younger generation of navy, and Xia Le became a new legend.
"Xia Le?"
"He is now in a place where it is difficult for outsiders to see him!"
Looking at the girl in front of him with complicated eyes, Simbu sighed.
"You know my teacher?"
Guina said in surprise.
"If it were other people in the Navy, they might not be very clear about this matter."
"But my words."
"Just happened to know a few things about him, including where he is today."
Having said this, Xin Bu looked at the young lieutenant in front of him with a smile and gentleness on his face, with some intimacy in his eyes.
At this moment, in his eyes, Guina was no different than a junior.
"Very good!"
"Can you take me to see my teacher?"
Guina said happily.
"this?"
Xinbu looked hesitant, but seeing the joy and expectation in the eyes of the girl in front of him, he couldn't bear it.
Finally, he nodded slowly.
"Okay! I'll help you this time!"
A happy smile suddenly appeared on Guina's face.
In the past six months, she had arrived at the Grand Channel from the Western Sea, fought with many pirates and bad guys, and finally met Major General Simbu who was fighting pirates near Long Chain Island.
It can be said that I have encountered many unforgettable hardships, but it has also been considered smooth.
"follow me!"
"Remember, Kuina, this matter must not be leaked to others."
"Nowadays, your teacher is a taboo subject in the Navy."
Simbu whispered.
Guina was confused and nodded slightly.
She had never met her teacher, but she had only seen photos of him with Eveya, Deputy Commander Barrett and others in the office of Commander Xihai.
In my impression, the teacher is a warm, tall and strong navy man who always has a smile on his face.
But in Major General Simbu’s mouth, teachers are taboo?
As far as she knows, the teacher is a naval admiral?
"If we want to see him, we have to sail out of here. Come on board with me!"
Simbu turned his head and said.
Guina became even more confused, but she cleverly suppressed the questions in her heart and followed forward silently.
Until the warship sailed out of the Gate of Justice and turned around.
Guina was slightly startled, and suddenly saw Major General Simbu standing at the bow of the ship, wearing a cloak of justice. He touched a cigarette from somewhere, lit it with a hiss, and took a deep breath.
"I met your teacher very early on."
"Haha, it can be said that that happened in the previous era. At that time, the most famous people in the world were not the emperors today."
"Roger the Pirate King, Shiki the Golden Lion, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard"
"These three are known as the three legendary pirates of the parallel world."
After a pause, Xinbu's eyes showed a touch of sadness and nostalgia.
"That time, your teacher and I were on the same warship, performing the same mission."
"That was the first time I met him and the first time I fought against the Roger Pirates."
Simbu said slowly.
The words came out, which made Kuina startled. The navy who heard it all had expressions of respect on their faces.
The superior is a man who has fought against the Pirate King and is also an old legend in the navy.
"Your teacher is a very powerful man. He was called a monster at that time!"
"Monsters that surpass the three most famous generals in the world today!"
The voice became vaguely ethereal, and Simbu stared ahead at the huge, gloomy prison.
"After returning to the headquarters, I was transferred from other positions."
"But I have never stopped asking about rumors and news about him."
"Over the years, I have grown from an unknown school officer to a veteran general. Even some young lieutenant generals were trained by me."
"I have to say, this is all influenced by your teacher."
Simbu said with a smile.
Then, his eyes suddenly became heavy.
Guina listened, with curiosity and joy in her eyes.
"Your teacher has disappeared from this world for many years."
"Many people don't know his whereabouts."
"I only found out after making many inquiries and using many contacts at my disposal."
Taking a deep breath, Simbu lowered his voice.
Guina listened carefully.
"He is advancing into the city now!"
Shin preached.
Guina was stunned for a moment, then her expression suddenly changed, and she suddenly raised her head to look at the gloomy prison shrouded in mist in front of her.
"Yes, that's right there!"
"So, if you want to see him, you have to enter the world's largest prison!"
Simbu said in a deep voice, his eyes twinkling.
He was pondering in his mind what method he should use to send his old friend's apprentice to Impel Down to fulfill his wish.
"Entering the world's largest prison?"
Kuina murmured.
She suddenly felt a little nervous and scared. Naturally, she had heard about this large prison for a long time, and she had never thought that it would be related to her.
There is a place where the world's criminals are imprisoned, full of ferocity and filth. It can even be said that it is more dangerous than the outside world.
"I'll find a way for you!"
"But one thing you need to know now is, do you have the courage to face the world's largest prison?"
Simbu turned around and asked in a deep voice.
Impel Down City is not a good place. The sinister aura of criminals who have been imprisoned for a long time can make those who are not determined go crazy or even collapse.
"I have!"
Kuina nodded heavily.
She left Xihai alone and came here just to meet the teacher she had never met before.
"good!"
Simbu nodded with satisfaction.
As expected of Xia Le's apprentice, he has such firm will and courage at such a young age.
After a while, the warship arrived at Impel Down City.
The two soon met Hannibal, the deputy director of Impel Down.
"Hey, where are the prisoners we brought?"
"Just leave it to me."
Hannibal glanced around, but did not see the prisoner, and looked at Simbu suspiciously.
"I am Major General Simbu of this headquarters. I am here because I need Deputy Director Hannibal's help with something."
Simbu gritted his teeth and whispered.
"I don't have much time to help you!"
Hannibal rolled his eyes and said impatiently.
Impel City is almost an independent system within the navy, and even the generals of the headquarters cannot control them.
"This matter concerns General Xia Le."
"And I am also General Xia Le's best friend!"
Simbu looked at the other party and said in a deep voice.
Facing the people in Impel Down City, he could only move Xia Le out.
Sure enough, when Hannibal heard the name Xia Le, his whole body shrank, and he couldn't help but glance around a few times, and the expression on his face softened.
"General Xia Le?"
"He has been very busy recently. He is quietly making contributions to the affairs of Impel Down City."
"I respect him very much!"
The imprint of Xia Le began with the escape of Golden Lion Shiji.
Hannibal clearly remembered his fear and trembling when facing the big pirate, and then heard that the golden lion was killed by Xia Le.
From that moment on, it was clear to him that he was completely impressed by this navy named Xia Le.
"This ensign is named Kuina!"
"She is a disciple of General Xia Le!"
"I came here to ask Deputy Director Hannibal to lead her to meet her teacher!"
Xinbu said quickly when he saw something was going on.
He was able to see Hannibal only because of Impel Impel City. Otherwise, ordinary criminals would not need the other party to come forward.
"Second Lieutenant Kuina!"
Hannibal looked gentle and nodded to the girl in front of him.
Guina was a little nervous and bowed slightly.
"You come with me."
"Everything about General Xia Le is top secret and no outside information is allowed. No one outside the city can even see him."
"Major General Simbu, please leave!"
Hannibal said.
Simbu nodded, gave Guina an encouraging smile, and then turned and left.
Afterwards, Hannibal took the girl behind him through the gate of Impel City and took the key to the second level of Beast Hell.
"General Xia Le is in the beast hell on the second underground floor."
"But I don't know exactly where it is."
“Once you get there, you just have to find it for yourself.”
"However, the beast hell is very dangerous. You need to be careful not to confront those jailer beasts head-on."
Hannibal explained the situation in Impel Down in detail with a smile.
"Thanks!"
Kuina whispered.
Hannibal smiled slightly and stepped forward.
Soon, they passed the Red Lotus Hell on the underground level. Kuina couldn't help but feel cold sweat when she saw the bleeding prisoners who were tortured by the sword tree and needle grass.
"The crimes of prisoners on the first floor are not serious, and the punishments here are not serious."
Hannibal said.
Guina was silent.
She vaguely understood why the world was afraid of Impel Down.
This place is truly like hell. Even criminals who are extremely vicious outside will become pitiful creatures here and suffer severe torture.
Soon, they passed through the first underground floor and arrived at the second underground floor.
"The second floor is much more dangerous than the first floor. Even I don't want to stay here any longer!"
Hannibal said seriously.
He used the key to open the door to the corridor, and then walked in carefully.
As soon as Guina stepped into this place, her pretty face turned pale.
A palpitating breath made it difficult for her to breathe.
"yourself."
Hannibal had just said three words, but when he saw the other party's uncomfortable look, he couldn't bear it anymore and shook his head violently.
"Forget it, I'll take you forward to find General Xia Le!"
Guina forced a smile: "Thank you!"
"I can't guarantee whether I can see him!"
"Because in these years, when I came to the second floor, I never saw him."
Hannibal said.
Guina followed silently, and as she walked inside, the discomfort on her body became heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, the figure in front stopped suddenly.
Guina looked up and was shocked to see that the other party's body was actually trembling.
"summer?"
"General Xia Le?!"
Hannibal's trembling voice made Guina's eyes widen instantly.
teacher?
