In the cold prison, Ace lowered his head and remained silent, not saying a word.
Being defeated by Marshall Teach was undoubtedly a huge blow to him, and he was then used as a bargaining chip to become the Shichibukai and transferred to the Navy.
Moreover, Xia Le was still personally responsible for this matter.
The news he got later shocked him even more and he fell into despair.
His own life experience has been discovered by the navy, and he will become a bait to lure the Whitebeard Pirates.
The successive blows made his life confused. Even though they had reached an agreement with Xia Le not long ago, there was still little hope in the face of the upcoming huge war.
Where should we go in the future?
From heaven to hell, it only took a blink of an eye.
"Xia Le!"
In the quiet prison of the headquarters, a deep voice suddenly sounded.
Ace didn't look up. He could tell that it was Sengoku who was speaking. He just listened silently, a little curious about what the two people would talk about at this time.
"With Fire Fist Ace as bait, do we have a high chance of defeating Whitebeard?"
Warring States asked in a deep voice.
Obviously, even with all the preparations, the Admiral was still worried.
After all, what they faced was not an ordinary enemy, but the white-bearded Edward Newgate, known as the strongest man in the world.
"If you want to take down that man, use his ability!"
"More or less, you have to pay some price!"
Xia Le said softly.
"Yeah?"
Warring States murmured, his words a little heavy.
He would naturally expect this kind of thing, but there is a huge difference between the heavy and light costs, and the meaning and impact will also be different.
"Of course, in the end, victory must belong to the navy!"
"With today's navy, the Whitebeard Pirates have no chance of winning!"
Xia Le smiled lightly again.
As soon as these words were spoken, Ace in the prison raised his head and clenched his fists, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
"I am also convinced of this matter!"
"After all, you will take charge of this battle yourself."
A smile appeared on Sengoku's face.
Xia Le understood the worries in the marshal's heart. After glancing at Ace in the prison, the two left side by side.
"As for Marshall Teach's appointment as the new Shichibukai, the world government has approved it."
"We need to inform the other three people who are Wu Hai but not present about this news in the near future."
Warring States said with a smile.
"Are you talking about Kaixia Jinbei, Moriah, and Boya Hancock?"
Xia Le asked slowly.
When he mentioned the last name, his face looked a little strange.
In a daze, the girl with a delicate and fair face who shouted to marry him when he was in the Holy Land of Mariegio appeared in front of him again.
"good!"
"The girl you saved is now a famous empress in the world!"
"Didn't you think of it?"
Warring States said with a smile.
"Time changes everything, making the familiar become unfamiliar."
Xia Le shook his head and sighed.
Then, as if he thought of something, he spoke again.
"I will handle this matter personally."
"Also, when do you plan to announce the news about Ace's arrest?"
Hearing this, Warring States pondered first, then shook his head: "Let's wait for a suitable time!"
"Elites from all over the world are arriving one by one now."
"At the very least, wait until you are almost ready before you consider it."
The two parted at the square, and Xia Le looked at the bear who had been waiting there.
"Bear!"
He pondered for a moment and suddenly shouted.
The bear took one step and was already behind him.
With his tall body and taciturn appearance, he looks like a loyal bodyguard.
"Next, I may have to trouble you to go on a business trip with me."
Xia Le said with a smile.
The bear didn't ask much, just nodded silently.
There was no rush to inform the Shichibukai about the new candidate, and Xia Le temporarily returned to the area where he lived.
On the training ground, the CP9 team is still training hard. They follow Xia Le's method and engage in actual combat.
Because of this, everyone's body was scarred and looked embarrassed.
Xia Le also saw that the bandages wrapped around Rob Lucci's body had turned blood red, but the cold man's expression remained unchanged.
At the same time, Kaku, his enemy, had his nose crooked, but he still endured it with gritted teeth.
There is no doubt that the spirit and will of the CP9 team are very good. They endured the most difficult training life and death.
"Bear!"
"Can I ask you to help them treat them?"
Xia Le suddenly said.
"Can!"
The bear nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and was already in front of Lu Qi, blocking Kaku behind him, and the battle between the two ended instantly.
"Bartholomew Bear!"
Lu Qi's pupils shrank, recognizing the tall guy in front of him.
He turned his head and took a look, standing in the distance with his arms around Xia Le, who was looking over here.
"Are you our training opponent for the next stage?"
Lu Qi said solemnly.
There was a hint of doubt in Xiong's eyes, and he slowly raised his palm.
"Shichibukai!"
"He's a good opponent!"
Lu Qi smiled, a light shining in his eyes.
The next second, its figure disappeared in an instant, and appeared in the air in front of the right side of the bear in the blink of an eye. With a wave of its thigh, it was about to kick out.
But at this moment, the target in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a huge shadow shrouded his back, and a thick bear paw suddenly slapped his back.
Lu Qi's pupils shrank and his body shook violently.
"It's too fast! It's like teleporting."
"But not shaving!"
Later, when he felt something being shot out of his body, his eyes showed disbelief again.
"Lucci, are you okay?"
Directly opposite, Kaku asked nervously.
He was also shocked by the bear's terrifying speed. He was behind Lu Qi in an instant, and his naked eyes didn't even have time to react.
"fine!"
Lu Qi shook his head, then tried to make a fist and wave his arms, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
He turned his head and looked at the tall figure in front of him.
"My pain and fatigue are all gone!"
"Did you do it?"
The bear nodded: "My meat ball fruit can pop the target's pain and fatigue out of the body."
As he spoke, his palm trembled, and a group of red bear paw bubbles emerged.
"It's fatigue and pain in your body."
Seeing the red bubble getting bigger and bigger, reaching the diameter of half a person's height in an instant, the bear's eyes showed a hint of surprise and admiration.
The willpower of a guy who can endure such pain and still continue fighting despite being tired is extraordinary.
"Admiral Xia Le cares about you very much and asked me to help you get rid of the pain and fatigue in your body."
Bear said softly.
Then, in one step, he was in front of Kaku, and in his shocked eyes, he slapped his chest.
"too fast!"
"Can this guy teleport?"
The other CP9 members were all shocked.
The bear stepped forward one after another, slapping with his big hands.
Groups of red bubbles were photographed and floated in the air. After combining with each other, they merged into a group of large red bubbles, as huge as a house.
"What will happen if you come into contact with this bubble?"
Rob Lucci came over and asked in a deep voice.
"This is a combination of pain and fatigue for all of you. The moment you come into contact with him, the pain and fatigue you feel will increase exponentially."
"If ordinary people bear it, they will die instantly!"
Xiong said.
He looked at the cold man in front of him and admired him a little. After all, the mental toughness of a man who can remain unchanged despite such a massive amount of fatigue and pain is unimaginable.
It can be said that such a man will definitely become a world-class strong man in the future.
"Is it so intense that an ordinary person could die instantly?"
Lu Qi murmured.
He suddenly turned his head and glanced at General Xia Le, who was watching quietly from a distance.
The next second, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Between the despair of life and death, the human body will understand the unawakened power more clearly."
He murmured.
Suddenly, Lu Qi stretched out his hands and plunged into the red bubble in front of him.
Xiong stood aside, his eyes slightly changed, showing a hint of shock.
This man is really a lunatic!
Almost instantly, the white bandage on Lu Qi's body crackled, making a firecracker sound, and quickly broke.
His eyes suddenly turned blood red, and the muscles all over his body were trembling slightly.
Intense pain and fatigue, like a tsunami, rushed in crazily, drowning the sea of consciousness in an instant, and plunged him into darkness for an instant.
"Tick tock!"
Blood dripped and made a clear sound.
The faces of everyone in CP9 suddenly changed, and they exclaimed: "Lucci!!"
Looking at this scene, Xia Le also narrowed his eyes slightly, and then laughed out loud.
"Brave young man!"
"You have taken a step that you could not reach originally!"
"From this moment on, you will be qualified to reach the top!"
Intense pain, life and death lingering around him, made Lu Qi feel three inexplicable subtle auras.
He had experienced the first two types before, which were the domineering color of armed color and the color of knowledge.
The third type burst out from the depths of his body when he made up his mind to insert his hands into the red bubbles and felt the terrifying pain.
It's very small, a little ethereal, but it comes out from the inside of the body, no, to be precise, from the inside of the soul, impacting in all directions.
"Have I broken the confinement of my body?"
Vaguely, Lu Qi felt that he seemed to have taken a step that he could not take originally.
His body was shaking violently, and the intense pain, like a tsunami, continuously hit his whole body, making him almost faint.
"It's like fighting the Straw Hat boy for more than ten times!"
Lu Qi gritted his teeth and said.
The bear stood aside with an incomprehensible expression.
He knew very well how terrible the pain the other party was experiencing was, a pain that could make ordinary people die instantly.
Even if a strong person touches it, it will instantly become weak and howl.
But the man in front of him gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Bear asked aloud.
Lu Qi grinned and spat out ferocious words like a beast from hell.
“Better than ever!”
