Silence, deathly silence.
Whether it was Crocodile or Smoker, they fell into a state of absolute stillness at this moment.
The only thing that was changing was the look in their eyes, which changed from gloomy and cold to shocked and incredible faces.
"General Xia Le!!"
Smoker cried out in surprise.
The unexpected man appeared in front of him so suddenly. The sudden surprise even made him feel a little confused.
"It seems that you haven't let go of all these years of practice."
Xia Le turned his back to Smoker and said with a smile.
"I have always been targeting you, admiring you, and working hard!"
Smoker said excitedly.
The intense joy and excitement made tears well up in his eyes at this moment.
To him, the man in front of him was like a relative of his, who led him into the navy and trained him to his current achievements.
All along, on the road of the navy, Smoker has always used the other party as a template, and tirelessly pursued the justice he followed.
But as time passed, he clearly realized how difficult this kind of correct justice was.
As a result, he admired and respected this man even more, and knew how great what he did was.
If there is anyone who can save this wrong world, in Smoker's heart, there is only the man in front of him.
"good."
Xia Le nodded, his eyes falling on Crocodile.
"But now, in front of us, there seems to be a slightly troublesome guy to deal with!"
Hearing this, Smoker showed a relaxed smile.
He knew very well that in front of this man, even if the other person was Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, there would be no room for resistance.
"Crocodale!"
The next second, a deep voice sounded.
Crocodile's body trembled slightly and he stared at the man in front of him, as if he was still confused and couldn't believe his appearance.
The face, as young as ever, has almost no changes compared to the impression. Only the vicissitudes of life in the eyes seem to have left the only trace on it.
The strong muscles seemed to burst the thin navy suit. At a glance, this body is full of powerful visual impact.
It was a feeling of oppression from pure power.
"How dare you attack my brother for Pluto's sake."
"How brave!"
A calm voice came out, but the breath in the air suddenly became stagnant.
At this moment, even the marines behind Smog felt their hearts skip a beat, with fear in their eyes.
They didn't know the identity of the figure that suddenly appeared, but it was obviously just a figure from behind, but it made them tremble.
Crocodile was silent for a while.
Then, he slowly took out a cigar from his arms, lit it with a snort, then put it into his mouth and took a deep breath.
He raised his eyes, stared at the man in front of him, and suddenly showed a smile.
"I also took a big risk."
"After all, not everyone can bear your anger."
Crocodile said softly.
Smoker noticed that the old superior's hand holding the cigar was shaking slightly.
I don’t know if it’s because of fear or the joy of reunion.
"Do you think you can take it anymore?"
Xia Le said.
Long before, his domineering aura had enveloped the entire Alabasta, and he could clearly see Cobra in the palace, accompanied by Weiwei, sitting on the throne blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Now that you are back, my failure can only be a wasted mistake."
"But this is good news for everyone."
Crocodile shook his head.
"Over the years, the Baroque studio I have cultivated has reached a certain scale."
"They are very useful people."
There was seriousness and seriousness in his tone.
"I hope you'll be kind to them, if you can."
Taking a deep breath of smoke, Crocodile completely relaxed his body, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Now that I have done this, I have thought about the consequences."
"I am willing to bear any punishment or price."
"Facing you, I have no reason to resist!"
Xia Le listened quietly and looked at the other party's appearance of giving up resistance. He seemed to be thinking deeply and deciding how to deal with this bold guy.
Kidnap Neferutali Kobra and threaten him to hand over the text of history.
This was undoubtedly bold and almost touched his nerves.
But what is different from the original is that the other party's starting point is to obtain Pluto's powerful power to save himself.
"you still."
After saying these two words, blue arcs flashed out from Xia Le's body, and his figure suddenly disappeared, appearing in front of Crocodile in an instant.
The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible for anyone to react.
Smoker's pupils shrank and he was about to shout to stop him.
But Xia Le's movements were faster, and a right hand wrapped with arcs of lightning suddenly stretched out and enveloped Crocodile's head.
"It's so stupid!"
A low voice fell to the ground, and the right hand wrapped with lightning suddenly pressed down.
Crocodile closed his eyes tightly and faced his expected end.
Taking action against a superior's family is a mistake that no one can forgive.
However.
The next second, when the big hand fell on his head, Crocodile suddenly opened his eyes with an incomprehensible and incredible expression.
"Why?"
he asked in a murmur.
I saw that between the right hand pressing on the head, the entangled thunder and lightning quickly dissipated, and was replaced by a slap like a father slapping a child.
"How stupid!"
"So what if you get information about Hades?"
"It's just a powerful ancient weapon. What effect can it have on the world government?"
"Have I ever said that the most powerful thing about a person is himself!"
With a slightly angry voice, Crocodile stayed there.
"What's more, the real Pluto is here!"
Crocodile's eyes lit up and he stared at the other person. The man in front of him actually knew the real clue to Pluto.
"You need to know something!"
"That is, the real strong man is far more terrifying than Hades!"
Xia Le sneered, seeming to be mocking the innocent thoughts in the other person's mind.
Crocodile's face flashed and he said nothing.
"Rear Admiral Saikai, Crocodile!"
Suddenly, the man in front of him shouted sharply.
Crocodile was stunned for a moment, and then reacted suddenly, with excitement and excitement in his eyes. The posture that was like a big pirate a second ago suddenly changed, and he was actually standing straight and iron-blooded.
"arrive!"
"I order you as the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and the Commander-in-Chief of the Xihai Branch!"
"Your mission as a spy ends from this moment."
"And return to the team today!"
Xia Le shouted in a deep voice.
Crocodile's eyes were bright and his whole body was trembling slightly. After hearing these words, he actually choked up.
"yes!"
The high-pitched shouts were loud and ear-splitting.
"In the years since I left, you guys have caused a lot of trouble and caused a lot of problems!"
The faint words came and Crocodile lowered his head.
"But it doesn't matter!"
"I will go to them one by one and ask them if they still recognize me!"
As the words drifted, Xia Le had already stepped past and walked towards the front.
Smoker chased after him closely, and after Crocodile took a deep breath, he also quickly followed.
From this moment on, his undercover identity ended, and his new identity was that of rear admiral.
Vaguely, the words that Xia Le assigned him to transform into a great pirate and establish a Baroque studio many years ago still linger in his ears.
It was a long time and a mission that broke him down several times.
From the rookie pirate who broke into the Whitebeard Pirates back then, to the time he arrived in Alabasta to establish the Baroque Studio, he recruited a large number of subordinates.
In the end, he became a Shichibukai.
The mission is still not over!
Who can bear this? ——
Albana Palace.
Kobra sat blankly on the king's chair, as if he hadn't recovered yet.
His younger brother's former subordinate actually caused a civil strife in Alabasta, which made him feel extremely complicated.
And the purpose turned out to be the mysterious stone that the family had guarded for generations.
He knew something about the historical text, but as time passed, what was specifically written on the mysterious stone had long been forgotten.
"Father."
Weiwei stood aside and called softly, with some worry in her eyes.
Although Crocodile was defeated, his father's condition was very wrong.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning burst out from the palace hall, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of Kobra.
Then, blue light suddenly bloomed, and the harsh arc sound filled the empty hall.
"What's this?"
Weiwei's eyes widened, fear rising in her heart.
The flashing thunder and lightning frightened her.
Cobra was startled, and then stared at the lightning in front of him.
The lightning awakened the long-sleeping memory in his mind.
"I'm sorry that Crocodile dared to do such a bold thing while I was away!"
A low voice sounded, and a figure stepped out and appeared in front of the father and daughter.
Ikarem, who had just walked in from outside the palace, stared at the figure in the palace with wide eyes, and was so excited that he could not speak for a moment.
Cobra opened his mouth even more, and his eyes were extremely bright.
Only Weiwei still had doubts in her eyes.
"Xia Le!"
Cobra said tremblingly, tears bursting out of his eyes unconsciously.
"My brother, you are finally back!"
Xia Le looked at the old Cobra in front of him, feeling a little complicated and emotional in his heart.
"Um!"
"came back!"
"This time, I will let the whole world hear my voice!"
Xia Le nodded heavily.
"What happened to Crocodile will never happen again!"
When Cobra heard this, he took a deep breath, shook his head and sighed: "I don't blame him, his original intention was also for you."
"It's just a piece of historical text that has been guarded for generations."
"I can't hand it over to others easily!"
Xia Le smiled slightly: "It's good that big brother can understand."
"Of course I understand!"
"Both you and Xiaosha are both working hard for true justice. They are a group of brave people!"
"Also, he was very polite to me and didn't do anything excessive."
Kobra sighed.
Xia Le looked slightly relaxed, while Wei Wei next to her was stunned.
Who is this man?
Moreover, if you, my father, did not suffer any crime after being captured, then why would I come in the wind, go in the rain, and seek help from a group of pirates?
Am I wronged to be my daughter?
