"That man?"
"Who do you mean?"
Shanks' eyes narrowed, with a look of confusion on his face.
The people in the red-haired pirate group beside him were also curiously waiting for the answer to this question.
There are not many men who can leave such a dazzling wound on the chest of the world's greatest swordsman.
Could it be that the other party is going to challenge Whitebeard?
But thinking about it carefully, it is impossible that Mihawk is not so crazy.
"Xia Le!"
Mihawk said two words in a deep voice.
Shanks was stunned for a moment, then his pupils suddenly shrank, and the wine glass he held in his hand actually trembled at this moment.
"It could actually be him?!"
Whispering, Shanks' eyes fell on the bandage on the other person's chest again.
"This wound must be very painful!"
Mihawk snorted coldly: "This matter is worthy of my personal visit!"
"I really want to thank you for bringing this news that will shock the world!"
Shanks said solemnly.
His eyes shone with solemnity, seriousness, and a hint of excitement and fighting spirit.
"The guy who disappeared in front of the world for nearly twenty years has now reappeared as a general."
"It's hard to imagine what major actions the Navy will take next."
Mihawk said solemnly.
There is no doubt about Xia Le's power. Three generals are already terrifying, but he has to be added to them.
Today's naval force can be said to be the most powerful in history.
"The balance of the sea is about to be broken!"
Shanks muttered.
Obviously, both of them realized the seriousness of the problem.
From the birth of Xia Le, we can see what kind of storm and shocking tsunami there will be on the sea in the near future.
"Also, on the way here, I discovered that the Navy Headquarters is mobilizing elites from all over."
"It seems that they are preparing for a big war."
"The objectives are still unclear."
Mihawk said again.
Shanks looked solemn in his eyes: "Battle?"
"There are no signs of war in this world!"
The world is calm, and the four emperors of the New World are keeping to themselves, without excessive friction.
Shanks was deep in thought. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across his mind, and a rough, sinister, and ferocious face came into his eyes.
His body suddenly trembled, and he inexplicably thought of the freckled-faced boy.
"Could it be?!"
In an instant, Shanks's face turned extremely ugly.
"What did you notice?"
Mihawk asked curiously.
Jesus Bu, Beckman and others all around looked at the two people in confusion, not understanding what the two people were talking about.
But it was obvious that Shanks didn't look good.
"Can't say for sure yet."
"Maybe I need to go to Whitebeard's territory!"
Shanks slowly raised his head, his face gloomy and his eyes solemn.
"Go find that old man with the white beard and have a chat!"
Mihawk was startled.
He didn't know what could make Shanks willing to take such a risk, but the meaning behind it must be extraordinary.
The wind inexplicably got stronger at this moment.
Others were still full of doubts, but from the expressions on their faces, they could tell that the matter was of great importance.
——
Aboard the Sander.
"Wu Hai Conference?"
Xia Le's eyes fell on Doflamingo, and after staring at him quietly for a moment, he suddenly grinned.
"Since you are in trouble, I will naturally not keep you."
"This is the most important meeting in the world!"
Doflamingo's expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his lips: "Then, I will go to the headquarters first."
"But that's the main point of this meeting."
As he said that, his eyes turned and landed on Crocodile.
"It's most likely because of your defeat to the rookie pirate."
"They may have to select a new Wu Hai!"
Crocodile sneered: "I don't care about the position of Wuhai at all."
Doflamingo turned around, jumped off the boat, and waved with his back turned, "That's right!"
"I'm curious who they will replace you with!"
Xia Le watched calmly as the other party gradually left and boarded another boat on the shore not far away.
The Sander has been docked at Long Chain Island for some time, naturally waiting for his teacher.
Xia Le has always respected Garp.
First, when he was in crisis, it was the other party who saved him and gave him a chance to grow. Secondly, Garp has helped him a lot over the years.
Thirdly, it’s true that I haven’t seen him for several years.
The friendship between master and apprentice can be said to be quite deep.
Three more days later, Xia Le and others finally saw a dog-headed warship slowly approaching the shore in a state of impatience.
"finally come!"
Rocinante let out a sigh of relief.
He didn't know the officer's original goal, but it was obviously heading towards the headquarters. On Long Chain Island, it has been delayed for some time.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Xia Le, you still look so young and energetic!"
A figure jumped down from the dog-headed warship. He had a Chinese-character face and a strong figure, but the original black hair on his head had turned pale.
Xia Le jumped off the bow and looked at Garp walking in front, with inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
old! He is indeed old!
I vaguely remember that ten years ago, Garp still had black hair and looked energetic.
But at this moment, the heroic lieutenant general who appeared in front of him looked like an old man who had entered his old age.
Although his body is still strong, he is in good spirits. However, the internal consumption has been very great, the energy and blood have begun to fail, and the hair and beard have turned white.
"Teacher Garp!"
Xia Le walked forward quickly.
"Where's Luffy? I need to take care of this unfilial son who turned out to be a pirate!"
Garp came over, glanced at him, and immediately looked towards the Sander, shouting.
"If I'm not wrong, your precious grandson should have arrived in the Water Capital by now, right?"
Xia Le said with a smile.
He naturally understood the meaning of the old man's words at a glance. He was saying something bad about his grandson, but he was worried to death in his heart.
"What?"
"You didn't catch him?"
Garp's eyes widened and he said in surprise.
"How could I capture your grandson?"
"and."
Xia Le paused and smiled again.
"In my eyes, instead of doing bad things, he is a pirate who does good things all the way."
"There is no great sin against the world."
Garp glared: "You guys are just too righteous!"
"Pirates are pirates!"
But even though he said this, he was relieved in his heart.
Then, when he looked at the disciple he had taught in front of him, a look of relief appeared on his face.
He stretched out his hand and took Xia Le into his arms.
"You brat, nothing has changed in these years!"
"Well, stronger!"
"Unlike your teacher, I am already old!"
Karp laughed.
"Teachers are always young!"
Xia Le said.
"Brat."
"In this life, I can only teach you!"
Garp suddenly sighed.
Xia Le was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what the other party meant.
His son went to work in the revolutionary army, and his grandson went to be a pirate. He was the only one who stayed in the navy from beginning to end. Although he had many flaws, he never lost his true heart. It can be said that he and the old man have always been together. A camp.
As for Kuzan, this lazy justice naturally dissatisfied Garp.
"Thanks!"
Before Xia Le could respond, Garp whispered again.
"What a disciple should do."
Xia Le smiled.
Garp also had a smile on his face, patted the other party's shoulder, and then straightened up.
"Warring States, why are you so solemnly inviting me to your headquarters?"
he suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Did the Warring States Marshal invite you?"
Xia Le was stunned.
"Yes, he seems to be preparing for something very important."
Garp nodded.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, prepare to attack Whitebeard!"
Xia Le glanced at the other party and said slowly.
"What?"
Kapton's eyes widened.
"I proposed this matter. At the same time, Marshal Warring States also thought about it carefully and planned it."
"We all believe that the navy's strength at this time is fully capable of designing a detailed plan against the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, thereby weakening the pirates' power and breaking the balance of this world!"
Xia Le chuckled softly.
"That guy with white beard is not easy to deal with!"
Garp said solemnly.
The old guy with the crescent-shaped white beard flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"It's difficult to deal with."
"But it has a great chance of success."
Xia Le said.
"So, you are going to fight the Whitebeard Pirates in the new world?"
"That's the world of pirates. I'm afraid it will cause reactions from others."
Garp frowned.
"of course not."
"We have found a breakthrough."
"As a result, the Whitebeard Pirates had to take the initiative to enter the trap prepared by the navy in advance."
Xia Le smiled.
"Where is the breakthrough?"
Garp asked curiously.
"It's not here yet, but it should be soon!"
Xia Le said, looking towards the distant sea.
When the Straw Hats arrive in the Capital of the Seven Waters and cause havoc on Justice Island, Ace will be defeated by Blackbeard Marshall Teach.
As a result, it triggered a series of chain reactions in the world and started an unprecedented event in this era.
"You're like that guy from the Warring States Period, you've become a show-off!"
Garp muttered.
Xia Le smiled slightly but did not answer.
He knew very well that if the other party knew that the breakthrough point was Ace, the old man would probably feel uncomfortable for many more days.
A moment later, two more young people stood in front of them.
"Xia Le, I forgot to introduce you!"
"This is Kirby and Belumeb!"
"My two new disciples."
Cap said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Xia Le's eyes turned and landed on the two young men standing upright nervously.
He first looked at the man with pink hair and glasses.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he spoke calmly.
"Are you Kirby?"
That drag bottle + encumbrance + Holy Mother + Navy Oden?
