Zoro's pupils shrank and he clenched his hands tightly.
He wanted to struggle to stand up, but the injuries he had just sustained prevented him from moving and he could only lie there.
"Kuina!"
Zoro gritted his teeth, his expression extremely complex.
Of course he understood what his friend meant. Becoming a disciple of Xia Le was undoubtedly a way out for him. Otherwise, what they will face next is either execution and death, or living the rest of their lives in Impel Down City.
Either way, it's obviously not a good ending.
Once dead, or enter the impel city. Then, any dreams, persistence, and ambitions will come to nothing.
But it was extremely difficult for him to accept an enemy as his teacher.
"Zoron!"
Guina was extremely anxious on the side, her forehead pressed to the ground.
"If you can't survive, if you can't become stronger, how can you help Luffy become king?"
A voice suddenly emerged in Sauron's heart.
His pupils contracted, then his vision went dark and he passed out.
Xia Le sat on the chair and waited for a long time, but did not hear the other party's response, and couldn't help but frown.
"He passed out!"
Perona giggled.
"You guys are quite harsh!"
Xia Le sighed and looked at Rob Luqi and the others.
"Although this kid is an enemy, his spirit and will are worth fighting with all his strength!"
Moria smiled.
After some time passed, his original bloated figure was long gone, replaced by broad arms and a strong body. Standing there, he actually felt a little majestic.
He held a long knife in his hand. The knife was really long, two-thirds of his height.
Standing next to Lu Qi and Daz Bonis, he stood out from the crowd, but he was very conspicuous.
"Continue your special training!"
Xia Le shook his head and smiled, then he turned his head slightly and looked at Kebi, who had a bruised nose and face.
"Although you are indeed my junior brother!"
"But I don't give you the qualification to use my name to show off your power."
"but."
After a pause, a smile appeared on Xia Le's lips.
"If you can't persist in this special training, I can give you a privilege!"
"You are allowed to leave here at any time!"
Hearing this, Kebi trembled.
He heard the dissatisfaction in this senior brother's words, and also heard the other party's ridicule.
He clenched his two fists fiercely, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head.
"do not worry!"
"I will never quit this special training. Even if I work a hundred times or a thousand times harder than others, I will definitely graduate from the special training class!"
"Even if it means death, I will never take a step back!!"
The last words were almost shouted.
Xia Le listened quietly. He slowly stood up from his chair, turned his back to Kerby, and walked towards the outside of the training ground.
It wasn't until they reached the door that a plain voice came out.
"Then let me take a good look at your determination."
"It also proves that Mr. Garp's eyes are not dim yet."
Kebi gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, looked at the opponent's back, and yelled: "Yes!!!"
Compared to the squad leader, deputy squad leader, and Shichibukai Moonlight Moria, he was indeed far behind. He even suffered a lot during the second stage of training and was on the verge of death several times.
Even when facing other fellow students, they are still inferior in many ways. He and Belmeber were almost the worst beings in the entire class.
But even in the face of such difficult circumstances, he never thought of quitting.
Because this is the only way for me to truly escape from my original environment and leap into a new realm.
Fighting against opponents far superior to oneself is dangerous, but it also holds countless opportunities and lessons. He deeply understood the teachings of Senior Brother Xia Le during the competition not long ago.
Only blood can make a navy move forward, deeply understand and understand the darkness of the world, and only then can it better understand the justice and light of the world.
The medical staff quickly rushed into the training ground with a stretcher and carried Zoro away.
Kuina stood up, looked at Zoro, hesitated slightly, and then followed closely.
——
Noon on the second day.
"Lieutenant General Joyce, let me deliver them to you personally."
It was Joyce's adjutant who came, a lieutenant colonel wearing a top hat and carrying a knife at his waist. When he saw Xia Le, he was obviously a little nervous, but he was not rude.
They even brought good wine from Joyce’s hometown.
"Eustace Kidd."
"Trafalgar Law."
"Monk Urki."
"Skurachman Apu."
"Basil Hawkins."
Xia Le glanced over and saw the supernovas that he had defeated in the Chambord Islands not long ago.
"Thanks a lot."
"Tell Lieutenant General Joyce that I like the wine he brought!"
The tension on the adjutant's face dissipated: "I will definitely bring your words to you."
Then he straightened up, bowed in awe, turned around and left.
As for the whereabouts of the supernovas, he would not ask a word.
There was silence.
Xia Le looked thoughtfully at the five supernovas who were restrained by Hailou stone handcuffs, and was thinking about how to deal with them.
"Go and call Lieutenant General Rosinandy."
After a while, he waved his hand and said calmly to the navy beside him.
The latter immediately turned around and conveyed the message.
Below, Trafalgar Law's expression suddenly turned ugly.
If there is anyone else in this world that he can respect, Rosinandi is undoubtedly the one. And the other party seems to know himself very well.
"As for Eustace Kidd, Urqui, Skulachman Apu and this magician Hawkins."
"Let's put them in the headquarters prison first."
"I don't have time to deal with them now."
Xia Le then said calmly.
"yes!"
The navy next to them immediately moved to take the four supernovas away from here.
Then, a smile appeared on Xia Le's face and he looked at Luo.
"I think you must be feeling very complicated at the moment!"
"After all, both I and Rosinandi have high hopes for you."
"And you became the pirate who let us down."
Luo raised his head suddenly with angry eyes: "Shut up!"
Then, he lowered his head suddenly and uttered a difficult prayer-like voice.
"Don't let Rosinandy come."
Xia Le sneered: "Pirates are not qualified to make demands of me."
Luo's head hung lower, sticking tightly to the ground, and his body was trembling slightly.
Time passed by, and Xia Le was holding a book and reading it silently. Occasionally, a smile flashed across his eyes.
This is the book in Borrow Bear's hand, and he is a little curious about it.
After an unknown amount of time, a tall figure walked over.
When he saw Luo lying on the ground, he showed a puzzled expression: "The headquarters is currently conducting its seventy-eighth combat meeting."
"Sir Xia Le called me here in such a hurry. Is there any task you need me to do?"
Xia Le laughed and pointed at Luo on the ground: "It's not like I have any mission. I just invite you to meet someone."
Hearing this, Rosinandi looked at Luo: "He is?!"
At first glance, there was confusion on his face, but soon, his expression changed to shock, and then surprise again.
At the end, Rosinandi stepped in front of Luo in three steps and pulled his body up.
"Lo!"
"I finally see you again!"
"Why are you being tortured? Did you do something to make Commander Xia Le angry?"
"Why don't you apologize to the chief!"
He deliberately pretended to be surprised and angry on his face, and even clenched his fist and punched Luo hard on the head.
"Apologise quickly!"
Luo's expression changed, but he remained silent.
"Do you want to be beaten up by me?"
Rocinante punched him again.
Luo couldn't bear this punch anymore and screamed in pain.
It has to be said that Luo Nandi's physical skills and domineering spirit are inherited from Xia Le, and he also has a pair of iron fists.
"Apologize!!"
Rocinante shouted.
Luo's face trembled, his expression became helpless, and he sighed: "I'm sorry!"
After saying these three words, a smile appeared on Rosinandi's face, and then he turned to look at Xia Le.
"You see, Luo Dou already knows that he was wrong!"
"Why don't you untie his sea tower stone shackles and let me educate him properly."
Xia Le looked at Rosinandi who was acting in front of him with a half-smile, and after a while he sneered: "Don't you think it's exaggerated to put this on me?"
"However, I don't intend to pay attention to the drama between you two."
"I'll leave Luo to you, I believe you won't let me down!"
Hearing this, Rosinandi immediately shouted: "I will never let you down, sir!"
Xia Le glanced at Luo, then turned and left.
On the other side, Xiong squatted silently in the training ground, staring at the members of the special training class who were fighting fiercely in front of him.
The position of bodyguard has been removed. Now he is a member of the special training medical class. His main task is to remove pain and fatigue from everyone.
As for the price Xia Le said he had to pay, it had not yet come, and he still had to wait.
Another five days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the naval hospital, Zoro was covered in bandages and slowly opened his eyes.
"you're awake?"
Kuina said softly.
The only exposed eyes fluctuated, and Sauron said in a hoarse voice: "Have you always been here?"
"Um!"
Guina said.
In fact, he was worried about his teacher and suddenly gave other orders to take Zoro away.
The relationship between the two is actually very complicated. It is not about love, but more like rivals, confidants, and comrades who cherish each other in kendo.
"Thanks!"
Zoro said.
"So, what's my end result?"
"Be executed, or sent to Impel Down City?"
Hearing this, Guina looked at the other party: "The teacher hasn't decided yet."
"No decision?"
Zoro was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
"That means I can still live for a while, right?"
Guina looked at the other person strangely, not understanding this guy's brain circuit.
Immediately afterwards, what surprised her even more was that Zoro, who was all bandaged, jumped off the hospital bed and picked up the three knives leaning on the side.
"Guina, you have to do me a favor!"
Guina looked puzzled: "?"
"Take me to the training ground!"
Sauron grinned, his eyes filled with fighting intent.
