"cost?"
Kaku's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the man in front of him.
He is tall and has a short black hair. The first impression he leaves on people is that of a strong body with a strong visual impact.
It can be called powerful, visible to the naked eye!
But in his mind, he could not find any information about this man.
There seems to be no such number one figure in the navy.
"What price?"
Gabra was the most impatient and asked loudly as he lay there.
Their situation at this time can be said to be at the end of their rope, with no future in sight.
The injuries on their bodies and hunger were enough to kill them.
It would be great if someone could lend a helping hand.
"Tell me about the price!"
Kaku was still calm and said in a deep voice.
"The world government thinks that you have failed in your mission and wants to eradicate you and silence you."
"But I personally admire your abilities, so."
Xia Le smiled slightly and looked at the people in front of him.
"Are you interested in serving as a marine under my command?"
Hearing this, the CP9 team was stunned for a moment, and then surprise flashed in their eyes.
But soon, a look of ridicule appeared on Gabra's face.
"Being in the Navy?"
"You just said that we have been put a bounty on our head by the World Government."
"A navy dares to openly oppose the world government?"
Kaku and others were also silent, waiting for the other party's answer.
With a bounty placed on their head by the World Government, no one else would dare to take them in except for some big pirates.
Not to mention that in front of the world government, the navy is one level lower!
"Of course I have a way."
Xia Le said lightly.
But the members of the CP9 team obviously didn't believe what he said, and they all had sneers on their faces.
But at this moment, Rob Luqi, who was lying there motionless, suddenly opened his eyes, his abdomen shook slightly, and a voice came out.
"We can join your ranks and obey your orders!"
"But you really can't care about our identities?"
The sudden words made the CP9 team turn their heads in surprise.
"Lucci!"
Kalifa shouted.
Kaku narrowed his eyes slightly, and from Lu Qi's words, he could tell that the other party obviously knew the identity of the man in front of him.
Who is this man who can make Lu Qi agree with the other party's words without any hesitation?
"The people under my command have only one identity!"
"Those are my Xia Le's soldiers!"
Xia Le smiled lightly.
His eyes fell on Rob Lucci, and he could tell at a glance that the other person was seriously injured and could no longer speak, so he spoke entirely through ventriloquism.
"Charlotte."
Rob Lucci's eyes shrank and he looked at the other party deeply.
It is indeed this man!
In the past ten years or so, he has been deliberately erased by the world government, so that the other party's once world-famous name has now become a thing of the past, and only a few people know about it.
Even the detailed information about this man has been classified as top secret by the World Government.
I didn't expect that I would meet the other party here, and it seemed that my group was appreciated by the other party.
Rob Lucci was briefly awake, but his mind was extremely active.
He carefully assessed the situation and then came to a simple conclusion.
That is, at this moment, he and the entire CP9 team have no choice but to join the opponent's team.
In this way, there is a glimmer of hope.
And Lu Qi, who had read the other party's intelligence, knew it even more clearly.
If there is anyone in this world who can accommodate them without fear, it is only the other party.
"We join your command and obey your orders!"
"But you must also ensure our safety."
A deep voice came from Rob Lucci's belly.
"My team members and I don't want to experience what happened before!"
Hearing this, Xia Le laughed and glanced at the people in front of him.
"Who do you think I am, Xia Le?"
"Are those World Government losers and stupid losers?"
One sentence made everyone in CP9 look hot. Obviously, the other party's eyes are full of negative emotions towards the world government.
They also agreed with their stupid words of calling the world government a loser.
At this moment, everyone in CP9 had some recognition of the navy in front of them.
"Whatever your purpose is?"
"But thank you for reaching out to us."
A deep voice came from Rob Lucci's belly again, and then his eyes closed and he lost consciousness again.
He was seriously injured in the battle on Judiciary Island, and then fought with the World Government and the Navy, and was on the verge of life and death.
Just now, he was only disturbed and woke up. Then he recognized the identity of the navy in front of him and spoke.
"Where are you guys?"
"Choose to reject me, be captured by me, and then sent to the World Government?"
"Or will you become a marine by my side from now on?"
Xia Le smiled lightly.
Team CP9 was silent. After a long time, Kaku sighed.
"We don't seem to have a choice!"
"Before that, I would like to know your identity."
Xia Le laughed loudly: "My name is Xia Le, and I am currently serving as a general of the Navy Headquarters!"
Everyone in the CP9 team was startled, and then their pupils shook violently.
"Admiral of the Navy Headquarters?!"
Kalifa said in shock.
"Are you kidding? Don't there only be three generals in the navy?"
Gabra trembled.
He looked at the man in front of him with great disbelief.
But soon, Kaku's forehead began to break down with sweat, and he spoke solemnly.
"No, the navy does seem to have four generals!"
"It's just that this fourth general has never appeared in front of the world again after the change of marshals in the Warring States Period."
"Moreover, the fourth general is not the fourth, to be precise!"
"Rather."
"The first one!!"
"His strength is undoubtedly the first among the four generals!"
"In that year, there were rumors that the navy was the most powerful in the history of the navy!"
The more he talked about it, the clearer the rumors he had heard in Kaku's mind became. Information about the person in front of him quickly came to his mind.
He didn't expect that it was that legendary guy.
After being promoted to general, all information in the World Government has been wiped out, and only a few people have information about the other party.
However, no one knows the reason, and it is also rumored by many to be the most mysterious navy.
"oh?"
"It seems that you have heard my legend."
Xia Le raised his eyebrows and looked at Kaku with interest.
"It's not just what I've heard!"
Kaku gritted his teeth and whispered.
Looking at the person in front of him, his eyes flashed with solemnity and fear.
At a time when the other party's reputation was spreading throughout the world, he was just an unknown soldier. The gap between the two sides is like the difference between heaven and earth.
In other words, the man in front of me is a well-deserved world-class strongman, an older generation who transcends the times!
At this time, the Sander slowly approached behind them.
The golden scepter glowed in the sun, and there were mysterious lines on the hull, glowing with blue arcs.
"Take Lucci on board!"
"It's obvious that you need help."
Xia Le smiled lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, electric light flashed on his body, and he returned to his warship in the blink of an eye.
The huge warship docked quietly in front of the boat.
Kaku and the others were able to barely move at this time. They stood up slowly with the support of their hands. When they saw the figure standing on the warship in front of them clearly, their pupils shrank again.
"Shichibukai, Crocodile?!"
"Captain, Smoker!"
"There are others, although their identities are unknown, but they are all very impressive!"
They didn't understand why there were pirates on the navy ship, and the former Shichibukai was wearing admiral-level uniforms.
But then I thought about the fact that the other party was a general, so I stopped thinking about it.
Soon, Kaku and others supported each other and boarded the Sander.
"Dasqi, prepare some food and fresh water for them."
"In addition, there are injured people among them who need rescue."
Xia Le sat on the chair and ordered with a smile.
"yes!"
Dasqi responded immediately.
Bucky, Rosinandi, Smoker, Kuina and others quietly watched the team boarding the ship and observed each other.
"The physical fitness is pretty good."
"Especially the unconscious guy. It can be seen from his body shape that he has gone through cruel hardships."
"Everyone else is also superhuman!"
Smoker whispered.
Next to him, Bucky and Rosinandi nodded.
I don't know just about the cultivation of Haki, but regardless of whether he has mastered Haki or not, physical strength is fundamental.
"I heard that they are the former CP9 team and were put a bounty on their head by the World Government."
"A bounty from the World Government? Haha~"
"Sir Xia Le, you don't care about their reward!"
"······"
The low-pitched communication sound naturally reached the ears of the CP9 team without much concealment, making their eyes flash slightly and they also breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the other party's subordinates don't seem to care much about the World Government. From this point of view, I and others do not need to worry about safety issues for the time being.
Xia Le smiled lightly as he watched Dasqi and others bring food and fresh water to the CP9 team, and then moved Rob Lucci into the cabin bedroom for treatment.
He was also quite happy at this moment. In this vast sea, he suddenly encountered a desperate fighting team with great potential.
If this isn't a gift from God, what is it?
In his opinion, Rob Lucci has excellent qualities. He believes in dark justice, and his strength and talent are outstanding.
If Wang Lufei didn't have the aura of the protagonist, he would not be able to defeat the opponent no matter what.
Moreover, the journey of the CP9 team led by Rob Lucci can also be said to be a model of grassroots counterattack.
After Judiciary Island, he fled in embarrassment, and two years later, Commander CP0 became the boss himself.
It can be said that this group of people must be capable and courageous.
Then, his eyes fell forward.
Garp went to the Water City, undoubtedly to visit his own grandson, and the goal of his trip was Malinfando.
"It's time to discuss this matter carefully, this is about to shock the world!"
After a slight pause, his eyes were deep.
"The gears of destiny."
"It has started turning silently."
