Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.
"Da da da da da!"
The sound of rapid footsteps echoed in the corridor, and a figure with an anxious look was running quickly.
A moment later, the door to Sengoku's office was pushed open.
"Yuan, Marshal, the latest news!"
Marine gasped loudly.
"?"
Sengoku looked up with a puzzled expression.
"In accordance with your instructions not long ago, the headquarters has strictly controlled the information about General Xia Le to ensure that it will not leak out."
"But not long ago, news came from our intelligence personnel scattered across the Grand Waterway."
"In Mogu Town, traces of General Xia Le were found, and!"
The navy took a deep breath, his eyes filled with nervousness.
"He had a battle with Don Quixote Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai."
In an instant, the navy felt that the atmosphere in the marshal's office had solidified. Then, he saw the marshal slowly raise his head.
"Doflamingo?"
"So, how's the battle going?"
Hearing this, the navy licked his lips: "Doflamingo was defeated. Intelligence personnel saw that the other party was captured by General Xia Le and left on the Sander warship."
Warring States was silent for a while, then waved his hand: "I got it!"
The navy was stunned, as if he did not expect the marshal's calmness. After he reacted, he saluted quickly, then stepped back and left.
After a long time, a sigh came from the Marshal's office.
"I know I can't hide the news that you came out."
"But I didn't expect it to be so fast."
After a pause, Warring States frowned.
"It's a bit strange to attack Doflamingo, considering the information we got ten years ago."
"Could it be that this Shichibukai is also the seed you once sowed in the world?"
Thinking of this, Warring States eyes flickered.
It can be seen that what Xia Le once did was beyond his expectation. During the time he left the headquarters, the other party never stopped.
More than ten years have passed since the Vegapunk mentioned by the World Government, but there is still no news.
No one knew where Xia Le hid this great scientist.
But from the attitude of the World Government, Sengoku can judge the importance of the other party. Xia Le seems to understand this importance.
"If it goes as I expected."
"Then the next navy may usher in the most powerful generation in history!"
"It really makes me look forward to it."
A smile appeared on the corner of Zeng Guo's mouth and he said softly.
Before Xia Le came out, the candidate for the next marshal had actually been selected, and the two generals were competing.
But Xia Le's appearance will make the choice of marshal more precise, and it can be said that there is no suspense.
"The only resistance is over there."
Zhan Guo's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes.
"I could make a decision ten years ago, and I can do the same ten years later!"
He does not lack the courage to make decisions, what is missing is just the timing and confidence.
"Although I don't know what he planned."
"However, we can also start regarding the breakthrough we talked about before!"
As he murmured, Zeng Guo's eyes sharpened.
If he can finish this thing and then retire, it will undoubtedly bring a perfect ending to his career.
——
Aboard the Sander.
"Crash!"
A basin of cold water was poured on Doflamingo's forehead, jolting him and slowly opening his eyes.
His vision turned from blurry to clear. When he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes suddenly shrank, and then became calm again.
"Sasi ignores Dana, Doflamingo!"
Crocodile, with a cigar hanging from his mouth and a basin in his hand, stood in front and looked down at him with a smile.
"Crocodale!"
Doflamingo said solemnly.
"You are one of the few people in this world who dares to attack Commander Xia Le head-on."
"I do admire your courage."
Doflamingo did not feel praised by these words, but his expression became even darker.
The sense of oppression that man gave him was no less than that of the Emperor of the New World, and was even stronger.
Facing such an opponent, even the choice will be a charity.
"If he wants to see you, he should think about how to organize your language next!"
Crocodile's voice came.
Doflamingo's eyes flashed and he fell silent.
Although there were no shackles or restraints on his body, he still felt pain all over his body when he stood up, and it took all his strength.
There is no doubt that the battle not long ago caused huge damage to his body.
When comparing himself to the situation more than ten years ago, when he was countless times stronger, facing the opponent, he was still completely defeated, with a huge gap.
After shaking his body and standing up with difficulty, he followed Crocodile and walked towards the bow of the ship.
The Sander is a large warship, and it is at the forefront in terms of cabin, weapons, and size.
The two of them, one behind the other, soon arrived at the bow of the ship.
Doflamingo looked forward and saw a series of imposing figures, all of which came into his eyes.
Corazon, Bucky, Smoker, the female swordsman with a cold temperament, and a bunch of weird guys, seem to be from Baroque Studio.
Also, the man at the helm seems to be a fish man?
Just from the momentum of these people, he realized that the team in front of him would probably not be inferior to any imperial group in the New World.
"I appreciate your talent and your persistence in pursuing power."
The faint words came, making Doflamingo turn his eyes and look at the strong figure in front of him with a solemn expression.
"So, I can give you another chance."
Xia Le sat on the chair, tapping the chair handle with his index finger.
"So, what do you want to say?"
Doflamingo was silent.
He naturally knows what this opportunity is.
More than ten years ago, he walked out of the West Sea base as an undercover agent sent by the other party, returned to the sea, and instantly became the king of Dressrosa, the famous Shichibukai.
But at this moment, everything disappeared when facing this man.
Only strong power can guarantee the foundation of all existence.
"I have always been the undercover agent sent out by Commander Xia Le."
After a long while, Doflamingo grinned.
He wants to live.
Because only by surviving will there be unlimited hope and opportunities in the future.
The dead have no future.
The fingers tapping the chair handle paused, Xia Le's eyes fell on the man in front of him, and he suddenly laughed.
"I always knew."
"You are a smart man."
"So smart people had better do what smart people do."
Doflamingo nodded silently.
Before he had enough strength, he could only surrender. What's interesting is that the other party seems to really appreciate him?
He actually let him go again.
Xia Le no longer ignored Doflamingo, but lowered his head and slowly flipped through the stack of reward orders handed over by Kuina.
After a few pictures, he saw a big smiling face wearing a straw hat.
"Monkey D. Luffy."
Xia Le couldn't help but laugh.
He looked up at Crocodile and his words were a bit teasing.
"Did you lose to him?"
Crocodile's face stiffened when he heard this, and then he said angrily: "We can't really kill this kid!"
"You understand the ways of the world."
Xia Le praised.
Obviously, the battle with Luffy could be easily won with Crocodile's strength. You must know that the other party at this time is different from the original work.
Having mastered the color of knowledge, the domineering color of armed force, and developed the Shasha Fruit to a certain extent, this guy's true strength is already comparable to that of a general.
"Speaking of which, they should be on Sky Island now, right?"
Xia Le murmured.
Hearing the word "empty island", Crocodile's expression changed slightly: "That's where the empty island is, isn't it???"
"It's his territory."
Xia Le looked thoughtful, but didn't care.
Then he continued to read.
"Nicole Robin?"
Xia Le raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
He saved all of O'Hara, including Robin, but why did he become a member of the Straw Hat Pirates again?
"snort!"
Upon hearing the name, Crocodile immediately turned cold.
"There seems to be some story."
Xia Le laughed.
"I found her by accident. She seemed to have escaped from O'Hara."
"To find a mysterious stone."
Crocodile said solemnly.
"Historical text?"
Xia Le smiled softly.
"Yes, the one in Alabasta contains information about Hades."
"I wanted to join forces with her, but I didn't expect it."
“This little girl, it’s amazing!!”
Having said this, Crocodile clenched his fists.
"Probably, she thinks you are a bad person!"
Xia Le joked.
"There are few people in this world who are more righteous than me!"
Crocodile said angrily.
Being misunderstood as a bad guy was a real shame in his life and made him angry.
Xia Le chuckled again, feeling amused by this matter.
Then, he lowered his head and continued to turn.
"Eustace Kidd."
"Basil Hawkins."
"XDrake."
"Roronoa Zoro."
"Ulki."
"Joelle Bonney."
"Capone Becky."
"Skurachman Apu."
"Trafalgar D. Vatier Law."
These names happened to be the supernovas of this class. When he read a few of the names, Rosinandi's expression changed slightly and showed a hint of seriousness.
"The world has undergone many interesting changes during this period of time."
"It seems that they are all a group of very energetic young people."
Xia Le said with a smile after picking out these reward orders and stacking them into a pile.
"This little guy actually interests me a bit."
As he spoke, he pointed to the reward notice placed on the top for a boy wearing a straw hat.
"Straw Hat Luffy?"
"You are actually interested in him?"
Crocodile was stunned.
"Let me take action, I can take him down easily!"
Bucky said excitedly.
He was also a victim of a related household. At this moment, with the permission of his superiors, he was naturally extremely excited.
Xia Le somewhat understood his subordinate's mood and smiled.
"After an old friend, there is always some special care!"
Hearing this, Crocodile and Bucky all smiled.
They firmly believed that the Straw Hat Boy would definitely find it difficult to bear this kind of care from Chief Xia Le.
At the same time, there was an island in the sky 10,000 meters above the sky.
"Who is that guy?!"
"What the hell did we break into."
"Oh my god, are you going to die?"
The Straw Hat Boys and the others looked at the man with blond hair and a cold expression in front of them, suspended in the air, and felt an unspeakable fear in their hearts.
"Is he Golden Lion Shiji?!"
Nami said tremblingly.
Quite unexpectedly, they encountered the most dangerous situation so far.
