Sander.
The dark clouds and fog were dispersed, and the sun shone down.
Moria was half leaning on the edge of the boat, with a white bandage tied around her body. After his injuries were simply treated, he seemed to have some energy.
Bartholomew Bear stood on one side, holding a book in his hand, seeming to be reading, but his eyes kept falling on the man in front of him.
He was a little confused and a little curious.
"With that sword strike, did you accept that swordsman as your disciple?"
asked the bear.
Xia Le smiled slightly: "Disciple? What you said is a bit outrageous."
"He is a pirate!"
The corners of Xiong's eyes trembled, with a look of disbelief.
Could such a hint be any more obvious?
But this guy's behavior is indeed elusive, and it's impossible to tell what the other party's specific purpose is.
"So, what are you going to do with them?"
The bear then turned his head again and stared at Moriah, who was covered in bandages.
"Not long ago, Moria decided to hang out with me."
"He is one of our own now!"
Xia Le said with a smile.
He turned his eyes and looked at the man who was resting on the side of the boat.
He already had a plan in mind on how to make this guy stronger and regain his previous peak and confidence.
But this plan is undoubtedly quite laborious.
After Xiong heard this, his eyes flashed and he looked at Moria.
"One of our own?"
This was an unexpected result. Shichibukai Moria actually defected to the navy admiral.
Looking at the other party's bright eyes at this moment, he seemed to have some kind of expectation, which was completely different from his previous state.
The bear was thoughtful.
He had some doubts that some kind of agreement should have been reached between the two people.
——
On the other side, the adjusted Straw Hats have regained their vitality.
They were on the verge of another despair, but survived unscathed.
"What? Green Algae Head, you said you saw Xia Le again?"
Sanji said in surprise.
He couldn't forget the scene he saw not long ago, where there was blood everywhere, and Zoro looked like he was about to die.
But fortunately, the other party's vitality was tenacious enough and he survived.
"Well, that man was not involved!"
Zoro nodded and said.
In front of his eyes, the sword used by the other party appeared again.
Those exquisite moves and powerful slashes have an unprecedented impact on me. As long as you understand them, you will definitely be able to greatly improve your strength.
The only thing that made him wonder was, what was the other party's purpose?
In other words, what is Xia Le's attitude towards them?
"Is that guy really an enemy?"
Usopp also muttered.
"I can't tell you, Xia Le is a very strange person!"
Nami pondered.
Robin listened quietly to everyone's discussion, with a smile on his face.
Compared to others, she thought she knew Xia Le somewhat.
Equal justice.
He has the courage to take action against injustice, regardless of who the enemy is.
There is no doubt that there is a thread in that man's heart that accurately separates justice from evil.
Those who cross that line will face a ruthless, ruthless, powerful and terrifying Iron-blooded Navy.
On the contrary, that man will always show his gentleness and kindness.
Zoro sat there silently, with bandages wrapped around his body.
"Guina's teacher?"
He murmured, a touch of excitement and anticipation appearing in his eyes.
How powerful are our former friends now? After so many years of training, from the East China Sea to here, I have made a lot of progress.
"Now, will you be my opponent?"
"Kuina!"
Zoro said softly in his heart.
For a moment, he was actually looking forward to the duel in the future.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Xia Le is Grandpa Garp's most valued disciple!"
"When I was young, my grandfather often said that he wanted Xia Le to train me personally. Fortunately, he didn't."
Luffy said with a laugh.
"What if you let that guy train you?"
Usopp was stunned.
After Sauron heard this, black appeared on his forehead, and then he cursed: "Idiot!"
Only he knew how terrifying that guy Xia Le was. Being personally trained by such a strong man, he would definitely improve very quickly.
"That guy is awesome!"
"I captured Roger again. If I let him train me and learn about my dream of becoming the Pirate King, he will definitely be rude to me!"
Luffy said with a laugh.
Everyone was speechless.
"but."
When he said this, a look of solemnity and seriousness appeared on Luffy's face.
"I've heard Shanks mention him too."
"Red-haired Shanks?"
Usopp took a breath and shouted in shock.
His father, Jesus Bu, was in the red-haired pirates.
"Well, Shanks said that."
"Xia Le is a very scary man. Although he is a marine, he poses a greater threat to the world government than any pirate in the world!"
"He may even harm the whole world!"
"He is an extremely unstable and terrifying careerist!"
These words caused everyone's expressions to change suddenly, and large beads of sweat appeared on their cheeks.
"Even the red-haired one of the four emperors said this about him!"
Sanji's throat rolled and he was very nervous.
"It's unimaginable that such a guy, we have met him twice, can still be safe and sound!"
Chopper said tremblingly.
"You were talking about Xia Le, I suddenly remembered it!"
"The news about Teacher Tom seems to be related to this man!"
Franky suddenly thought of it and exclaimed.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Zoro's expression changed, and he thought that Kuina was also related to that man.
"Hahahahaha!"
"What a mysterious guy!"
"Makes me wonder if he is actually a marine."
Luffy laughed.
This was a simple discussion about Xia Le among the Straw Hats, which made them aware of something magical and terrifying.
But everyone didn't pay much attention, and went to do other things after a while.
——
One day later.
The Sander sailed into the calm zone.
Xia Le stood at the bow of the ship, staring at the clear island in front of him, with a touch of emotion on his face.
The girl of the past is now a famous empress in the world.
Bartholomew Bear stood behind him, also looking into the distance.
Moria was now able to stand up. He was about three centimeters taller than the bear. He was covered in bandages, which made him look a little funny.
Perona was floating beside Xia Le, looking forward.
"I heard that the only woman among the King's seven warriors, Boya Hancock, is the most beautiful woman in the world."
"No one can resist her charm!"
Xia Le glanced sideways at the girl next to him and said with a smile, "She is indeed beautiful."
When she was still a girl, she was already a beauty. Now that many years have passed, she is naturally even more attractive.
"Have you met her?"
Perona said in surprise.
"Of course I have."
Xia Le nodded.
"Wow!"
"Tell me, how beautiful is she?"
"Compared with me? Which one of us is more beautiful?"
Perona floated around, asking anxiously.
"Boya Hancock is good-looking, and you are."
Xia Le smiled.
"What am I?"
Perona said expectantly.
"You are so cute!"
Xia Le said.
Suddenly, Perona snorted, she was not satisfied with the answer.
After a while, the warship approached Nine Snake Island.
The sudden arrival naturally attracted the attention of Nine Snake Island.
At the port, a large ship with two giant snakes on its bow shuddered slightly and sailed away from the port.
"Hancock, he's from the Navy!"
"Why did they suddenly arrive at this time?"
Granny New said worriedly.
"Could it be because, sister, you didn't respond to their call and participate in the Wu Hai Conference not long ago?"
The middle sister Sundar Sonia said worriedly.
"The Navy is not that narrow-minded!"
"Besides, that warship looks a bit familiar."
Hancock said with a frown.
There was a warship at the bow, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the one in her memory, but in terms of specific details and outline, it was not that one.
"Could it be him?"
Thinking of this, Hancock's body trembled, and a touch of excitement appeared in his eyes.
However, that man has not appeared for nearly ten years.
time flies.
As the two ships approached, the figure standing at the bow of the other ship quickly emerged and was clearly reflected in the eyes of the three sisters.
"elder sister!!"
"It's him!!"
"It's Lieutenant General Xia Le!"
Sundar Sonia and Marigrud both shouted excitedly at this moment. The moment they saw the figure, they recognized each other.
"who is it?"
Granny New was confused, and she turned to look at the Empress.
Then, it was discovered that Hancock's mood at this time was even more outrageous.
I saw two blushes appearing on her beautiful and fair face. The empress, who had always been aloof, now looked like a shy girl.
"Hey, hey, what's going on with you looking like this?"
"Hancock!"
Granny New shouted angrily.
But Hancock has obviously been immersed in his own world and remembered the promise he made with the other party.
"Marrying Lieutenant General Xia Le?"
For a moment, Hancock was even more dizzy.
Directly ahead, on the Sander, a smile appeared on Xia Le's face.
Of course, he also saw the three Hancock sisters. Likewise, the empress' shy look also caught his eye.
Next to her, Perona's eyes widened and she kept moving back and forth between the empress's face and his.
"You guys, you look like lovers meeting each other, what's going on?"
Suddenly, Xia Le frowned and hit the girl next to her on the head.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Perona hugged her head and screamed, but her eyes were rolling.
"There is definitely a secret between these two people!"
——
at the same time.
Malinvando.
As soon as Garp's dog-headed warship docked, he learned something that changed his face drastically.
"Fire Fist Ace has been captured and will be sent to Impel Down City, the infinite hell."
The sudden news made the old lieutenant general run towards the headquarters prison without even having time to say a word to his subordinates.
Soon after, he met Seng Guo, who was personally escorting him, and Ace, whose hands and feet were shackled by sea tower stones.
"Garp!"
"He will be sent to Impel Down!"
"And next, we will announce to the world the execution of Fire Fist Ace!"
The serious words of his old friend made Garp tremble all over and clenched his fists suddenly.
