"Yo, Kuzan."
"We really met a group of pirates who are too powerful to ignore."
Xia Le grinned.
The corners of Kuzan's mouth trembled, but he did not respond.
"The little guy who can defeat Crocodile cannot let him go easily."
"Allowing such a terrible guy to run rampant in the world is simply the greatest contempt for justice."
Xia Le said again.
"It's enough!"
Kuzan rolled his eyes at him.
Then, he actually sat down on the lawn and fell into silence.
It seemed that they were thinking about how to face the Straw Hats coming towards them next.
Xia Le smiled softly and sat down on a rock not far from Kuzan.
"So, how do you plan to face the Straw Hats?"
Kuzan responded calmly: "What about you?"
"It's not a difficult question for me."
Xia Le grinned.
"When it comes to dealing with pirates, I mostly hold the same views as that guy Sakaski!"
Hearing this, a gloomy look flashed across Kuzan's face.
Obviously, he knew something about his old friend. It is also very clear that once the other party chooses to take action, the pirate journey of the Straw Hat Boys may be over.
"So, are you going to take action against them?"
"It's just a bunch of kids!"
Kuzan sighed.
"It's not like you to have sympathy for pirates, Kuzan."
Xia Le smiled.
"Straw Hat Luffy is Mr. Garp's grandson."
Kuzan said again.
"So what? He also has a son, who seems to be a revolutionary soldier!"
Xia Le chuckled.
Kuzan didn't want to speak anymore. He turned his head and looked at his old friend beside him. For a moment, he couldn't judge what the other person was really thinking.
Just when he was about to speak, the Straw Hats were already in front of them.
"Ah, there are two strange people here!"
Luffy asked confused with a smile on his face.
They encountered PX-5 on an empty island, and after a arduous battle, they finally won. But he never dared to go deeper into that restricted area.
Especially after the battle, he learned through Robin that a navy with terrifying strength was involved.
"You are the weird ones!"
Kuzan said with a gloomy expression.
Xia Le sat on the stone and observed the group of people in front of him with great interest.
"I recognize you."
"I saw you on the reward notice."
As he spoke, he magically took out a stack of reward orders from his arms.
Then, show the first one.
"Straw Hat Boy, Monkey D. Luffy, the bounty is 100 million beli!"
"What a newcomer with great potential, vitality and fear!"
Xia Le said in admiration, with a smile on his face.
But Kuzan's face next to him became increasingly gloomy. He could no longer figure out what his old friend was going to do.
At the same time, he also understood that the reason why the other party insisted on riding his bicycle just now was probably because he had discovered the Straw Hat Boys a long time ago.
And this means that the other party is coming for the Straw Hat Boys.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"That's my reward order, thank you for your compliment!"
Luffy leaned his head forward and laughed.
"Wait, Luffy, stay away from them, this guy is a marine!!"
At this moment, Nami, who was following behind, immediately changed her color and shouted.
She saw Xia Le's neat white navy uniform.
"navy?!"
Luffy was stunned, then after observing the two of them carefully, he grinned again.
"Although they are from the navy, they don't seem to have any bad intentions towards us!"
"Looks like he's a good person!"
Xia Le couldn't help but laugh after hearing these words: "As a pirate, you are not qualified to judge the standards of good people!"
"Straw Hat!"
Then, his eyes turned again and fell on the frightened woman in the opponent's team who was now as petrified.
"Nicole Robin, long time no see."
"I didn't expect you to become a pirate."
This simple sentence made Robin tremble all over, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
"Luffy!!"
"Back off!"
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Robin shouted loudly.
Hearing the nervous and fearful voices of his companions, Luffy realized something at this moment. He stretched out his legs and stepped back to distance himself from the two people in front of him.
"Robin, what's going on?"
"Do you know them?"
Sanji said in surprise.
Sauron placed his hand on the long knife even more warily, looking at the two figures in front of him.
"Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Aokiji!"
Robin took a deep breath, said the first name solemnly, and set his eyes on Kuzan.
The latter had a dull expression and sat there without any reaction.
"general?!"
Nami, Usopp, and Chopper had expressions of horror on their faces, and they all shrank back.
"Also, Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Xia Le!"
Immediately afterwards, Robin uttered another name, his face became even more ugly, and his expression even showed despair.
No pirate group could survive facing two admirals.
Especially when facing this man Xia Le!
Having been born in Xihai and having personally experienced the war, she knew the man in front of her very well.
The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates looked shocked at this moment.
Two generals? !
"It's actually two generals!"
"What do you want here?"
Luffy still looked like he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem and asked loudly.
Xia Le laughed: "It's not an important thing."
"I just want to see what a pirate who can defeat the people under my command looks like."
"I heard that you are Mr. Garp's grandson?"
Hearing the word Garp, the panic in Luffy's eyes suddenly showed.
"Do you know Grandpa?"
Xia Le smiled and jumped down from the stone: "Of course."
"That's my most beloved teacher!"
Luffy was stunned for a moment, and soon he seemed to have remembered something, and his face became serious and serious.
"I remembered!"
"Xia Le! I have heard this name before!"
"Grandpa set you as my role model and asked me to emulate you."
Xia Le smiled slightly: "That's really a great favor from the old man."
It sounded like the conversation between the two parties was harmonious, but Luffy's expression was extremely solemn, even more serious than ever before.
"I heard you want to become the Pirate King?"
Xia Le asked with a smile.
"good!"
"I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
Luffy was stunned for a moment, then shouted.
As soon as these words came out, Robin's color changed instantly, and Kuzan even covered his forehead with his hand.
In front of this man, if you dare to make such a bold statement, you are undoubtedly courting your own death.
"The last Pirate King was captured by me and sent to the execution platform."
"Then, where did you get the courage to say such words loudly in front of me?"
Xia Le smiled.
"Hey, hey, catch the Pirate King? Is he talking about Roger?"
Usopp said in surprise.
"Yes, he is the man who captured Roger and ended the previous era!"
Robin said with a trembling voice.
In an instant, the entire Straw Hat crew became nervous, and Zoro pulled out his sword with a swipe, his eyes full of solemnity.
"Since you are Mr. Garp's grandson, I will naturally take good care of you."
"Monkey D. Luffy."
Xia Le slowly bent down and looked down at the group of people in front of him.
"Might as well leave it like this."
"You can just surrender and follow me back to Impel City."
"Okay?"
Luffy was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately refused: "Don't even think about it!"
"That's really difficult to handle!"
"Do you have to do it?"
Xia Le shook his head helplessly and turned his eyes to Kuzan.
"Hey, Kuzan, are you just watching the show?"
Kuzan did not respond, but lay down and closed his eyes, looking unwilling to pay attention.
"This is not what a navy man should do!"
Xia Le muttered in a low voice.
Then, his eyes looked at the group of people in front of him.
"Dare to shout such slogans excitedly."
"Straw Hat Luffy, you are very confident in your own strength!"
Luffy shouted: "Even if you are an admiral, I'm not afraid."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the man in front of him disappeared. At the same time, a flash of electric light flashed in front of him, and a tall figure shrouded his head.
"It's very exciting."
"Then let me see your courage!"
A soft murmur came out, and almost instantly, a fist came to his abdomen.
"boom!"
A dull collision sound was heard, and Luffy's body was bent by the punch. He vomited a mouthful of blood, his face became even pale, and his eyes flashed with disbelief and shock.
Then, after a slight pause, his body flew out like a cannonball.
"Luffy?!!"
Sanji's expression changed greatly, and he stepped forward to catch it, but the huge force caused him to fly back dozens of meters before he stopped.
"This terrifying power!!"
Everyone in the Straw Hats' expressions suddenly changed.
"be careful!"
"He is almost the strongest man in the history of the Navy!"
Robin trembled.
Zoro's pupils shrank and he saw the long knife on the opponent's waist.
"Sorry, everyone."
Xia Le smiled slightly.
"Your pirate journey may end here!"
After he finished speaking, his right hand stretched out a finger.
"Stab it!"
The arc of electricity shot out, instantly piercing through Usopp's body, causing him to fly backwards, covered in black smoke.
And until he landed on the ground, his eyes were still blank.
"He is the strongest person with thunder fruit ability in the natural system!"
"It's a hundred times, even a thousand times more powerful than the robot we met on Sky Island!"
Robin yelled.
His hands trembled, and the fruit ability was activated.
Several arms suddenly appeared from Xia Le's neck and folded towards him.
"Nicole Robin, you really disappoint me!"
Amid the words, his neck snapped with a snap, and his tall body fell to the ground.
But after only a moment, thunder and lightning flashed all over his body, and he stood up again.
"Uh-huh!"
In an instant, he was behind him, back to back.
"I once had high hopes for you!"
A faint voice echoed in my ears.
The next second, a blue arc of electricity shot out, sweeping across her body in the blink of an eye.
Robin's eyes turned white, his body was covered in black smoke, and he fell to the ground.
Faintly, the worried screams of my friends could be heard in my ears.
