The G-18 fortress suffered heavy losses, and it can even be said that it was close to total annihilation.

Looking back at the faint few warships behind him, Xia Le's heart was a little heavy.

He has been here since Roger's death, saying that it is impossible without feelings.

Fight the Golden Lion, the shattered G-18 fortress, the impact of the island as it falls, the devouring of the tsunami.

All this made it impossible for most of the soldiers in the fortress to escape.

And this is also the horror of the world's top powerhouses. If you are desperate, you can overturn an island and kill thousands of civilians in an instant.

Moments later, the remaining dozen or so warships docked in turn.

The soldiers quickly disembarked and stood on top of the massive island, looking at it in a trance and confused.

It's hard to imagine that the Golden Lion is actually using such a huge island as a weapon.

"The G-18 fortress is ruined."

"Then we'll rebuild a new base on this island!"

The breeze was blowing, the flowers and trees on the island were fluttering and shaking, and the sound of Xia Le was also gently heard.

He then walked around the islands.

I have to say that the Golden Lion has a very good eye for choosing islands.

There are five islands in this group of islands, with a large island in the center and four small islands of various sizes around it.

The empty space of the five islands, when laid on the surface of the sea, forms a series of inner bays.

"The arrival of the Golden Lion has caused almost all the troops of the G-18 Fortress to be lost."

Barrett followed behind him and said in a deep voice.

"If Lao Sha is here this time, maybe we won't be so passive."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists.

When Xia Le heard this, he stopped: "Everyone should have something to do. ”

"Lao Sha, he also has his own tasks to complete."

Barrett sighed, but still couldn't accept it: "Damn! ”

Most of the soldiers in the military fortress built over the years are elite trained by him.

He didn't go to the battlefield, but died in such an accident, which really made him feel aggrieved.

"When the new base is built, we will issue a recruitment to the West Sea."

After a pause, Xia Le sighed softly.

"We're still too weak!"

Barrett was silent, his two fists clenched tightly.

His combined fruit is not very effective in the face of the attack that directly controls the island like the Golden Lion Shiki.

This kind of catastrophe, which is like the end of the world, is too devastating.

"I'm going to get stronger!!"

"Sooner or later, keep up with you guys who are at the top of the world!"

Gritting his teeth, Barrett swore fiercely.

Xia Le looked ahead, the lush woods, the flowing river, and all kinds of small animals on the island were bouncing around.

It's a better island, perfect for building a base.

Turning his head, Xia Le looked at Efuya and the others.

T Penn walked up to the soldiers one by one, bending down to inquire about the injuries in a caring manner.

Bucky and Smoker both had tears on their faces, and it should be the first time that such a painful experience had been encountered by the two young men.

Bucky, in particular, saw his men split in half with a single slash from Rocky.

"Awakening!!"

"I must awaken my fruit!!"

Bucky yelled.

"I swear too!"

"From today onwards, never see my friends and colleagues die in front of me again!"

"I'm going to be stronger, I'm going to be stronger than anyone else!"

"Become a strong man who surpasses the Golden Lion Shiki!!"

Smoker yelled as well.

Xia Le glanced at all faces, everyone gritted their teeth, their faces angry and sad.

He knew very well that from this moment on, a seed of becoming stronger was deeply planted in the hearts of these people.

Suffering only makes the survivors stronger.

"Life is never smooth!"

Sighing lightly, Xia Le's heart was relatively calm.

War is never without sacrifice.

The world is cruel, and peace is only a cover for war, and it is an accident in a long river.

"Warship!!"

"Our people are here to help!"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation on the shore.

Xia Le looked at it with his eyes, and soon saw the front, dressed in naval clothes, with a green pepper with the rank of major general on his shoulders.

"It's the Navy Branch of the Flower Country!"

"It should be the aftermath of the battle between Lieutenant General Xia Le and the Golden Lion, which has affected them!"

The Navy discussed.

A moment later, Qingjiao's warship docked and walked quickly to Xia Le.

"What happened?"

"What about the G-18 Fortress?"

His face was shocked and nervous.

Along the way, the wreckage of warships all over the sea, the floating soldiers, and the fragments of the broken base shook his heart.

As you can imagine, the G-18 fortress definitely experienced a terrible war.

"The Golden Lion arrived not long ago and destroyed the fortress."

Xia Le said in a deep voice.

Seeing the horror on the other party's face, he sighed again.

"We're going to build a brand new base on this island!"

"You will be responsible for collecting the corpses of the soldiers on the sea!"

Qingjiao took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I understand!" ”

"Where's the golden lion?"

Xia Le's eyes flashed, and his right hand slowly raised.

Then, in Qingjiao's puzzled eyes, the five fingers of his right hand suddenly bent and hooked.

"Click!"

A cone-shaped mountain hundreds of meters in size floated up in an instant, standing quietly in the void.

"This is?!"

Green Pepper's eyes widened and she gasped.

He then stared at Xia Le, and the shock in his heart was unimaginable.

"I beat him."

"And got the power of this fruit!"

Xia Le said lightly.

As soon as his hand was released, the mountain slowly fell, shaking a circle of ripples.

"I, I remember that you were originally a Thunder Fruit ability?"

Green Pepper said in a trembling voice.

He looked at the man in front of him, and suddenly, a bold guess sprung up in his heart.

In the next second, he saw a blue arc of electricity on the other party's body.

"That's a good guess."

"I do have the power of two Devil Fruits in my hands right now!"

Xia Le smiled faintly.

"It's really ?!!"

The green pepper was shocked.

This kind of thing has probably never happened in the whole world, and some people have only mastered the ability of one fruit, and they have been able to rank among the strong.

But the man in front of him has mastered two abilities!

How far has he come?

Xia Le glanced at it, and naturally saw what the other party was thinking.

"After that, the reconstruction of the base will also have to trouble the Flower Country Branch to help."

Green Pepper took a deep breath: "It's natural. ”

After that, all the branches in the West Sea received the news, and officers from all over the country arrived on the island with serious faces.

There is such a huge event in the West Sea, and no one can still sit still.

When they saw Lieutenant General Xia Le safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be said that all the work of the navy in the West Sea today basically revolves around Vice Admiral Xia Le.

Once something happens to the chief, then the pressure they will face in the future will be extremely huge.

This abrupt meeting of the West Sea Navy Branch was held in a forest.

In the jungle stood a dense navy, each of whom had a rank of colonel or above, and the momentum was solemn.

Green peppers are also standing in the middle and are in the front row.

After calculating, he was also a little surprised at the moment.

"Lieutenant General Xia Le, all these years of operation have made Xihai so strong."

"Just the powerhouses at the school officer level have reached an astonishing two thousand."

"I remember that there were far from that number before."

Two thousand school officers stood in the jungle, neatly aligned, without the slightest sound coming out, which showed their elite.

Xia Le glanced around, and suddenly chuckled.

"What's wrong?"

"What are they all doing here?"

"Is there no work in the area you are responsible for?"

Sallock, the person in charge of Troya Island, said with an anxious expression: "We are worried about the headquarters, we are worried about the lieutenant general, so that's why." ”

The other school officials all agreed.

Most of them were selected from the first batch of elite soldiers from the G-18 fortress and were assigned to various regions.

It can be said that the G-18 fortress is their hometown.

When he heard that the fortress had an accident, he was shocked and hurriedly called on his subordinates to rush over.

"Just a golden lion, you can't do anything to me."

Xia Le said in a deep voice.

Then he sighed again.

"However, this time, the reconstruction of the base does require the help of various branches."

"Gather as many craftsmen as you can, go here, and build a new base."

"In addition, each branch has increased the scale and scope of recruitment."

When the voice came out, the audience was silent, and after all Xia Le's words were over, a neat voice came out.

"Yes!!"

The reconstruction of the base was carried out very quickly, and began on the same day.

In the afternoon of the second day, Capone Becky arrived.

"I've ordered the shipyard to work overtime to build warships."

"Of the thirty warships that were built before, they were ordered to sail over ten first, and they are currently docked on the shore."

"Twenty ships have also been transferred."

After a pause, Capenbecki said again.

"At present, the number of our warships and spacecraft is sufficient."

"Artillery shells, guns and weapons, I can handle it, but after this battle, your troops are insufficient."

Hearing this, Xia Le frowned.

"Continue to build warships, spaceships."

"Especially the more ships you build, the better."

Capone Becky was shocked: "Yes! ”

"Also, I'll let you go around collecting Devil Fruits."

Xia Le said softly.

"Chief, the Devil Fruit is not a cabbage, where is it so easy to find!"

"The auction of the entire West Sea will not be met once a year."

"On the contrary, there should be more on the other side of the Great Passage."

"But most of the powerful fruits, I'm afraid they are also in the hands of the navy and the world government."

Capone Becky said aggrievedly.

"That's right!"

Xia Le paused slightly, and then smiled.

"Just pay more attention to it, I didn't force you."

Capone Becky breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said cautiously.

"Chief, I carry out some tasks on weekdays, and the degree of danger is relatively high."

"Is it possible to equip a fleet of five ships?"

Hearing this, Xia Le turned his head to look at the other party.

Capone Becky's heart trembled suddenly, and he secretly said that he shouldn't be so reckless.

"Huh."

"I'll give you ten, but you'll need to train yourself for the ship's escort."

"However, your men can also be sent to the base and be guided by Barrett."

"If you have outstanding talent, you can also learn the six forms."

After a while, Xia Le's voice slowly came out.

Capone Becky shook violently, followed by excitement and excitement, and hurriedly bent over: "Thank you, Chief!" ”

Controlling a fleet of ships by himself has been his biggest dream in recent days.

Soon after, Capone Becky left satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, a huge construction team entered the island, and after the design and discussion of professionals, the construction of the new base was quickly decided.

"Four affiliated islands that can be built as a guard base."

"The main base is the central island, where residential areas, entertainment areas, training grounds, streets, etc. are built."

"The greenery on the island has not been changed, and the ferocious animals in the wild can be used as the object of the recruit's trial."

"I heard that Lieutenant General Xia Le said that this island should be established as a floating island."

"Then we can pick a place to build as a ship port."

“······”

After a heated discussion, construction work soon began.

In the blink of an eye, five days have passed since the battle with the golden lion.

On this day, Xia Le was sitting in the newly built office when the phone bug suddenly rang.

Eveya answered: "Hello, Xihai Headquarters. ”

But after two or three seconds, her face suddenly changed, and she turned her head sharply to look at the officer beside her.

"How?"

"What's the big deal again?"

Xia Le said lightly.

"It's the headquarters."

Eveya said.

Hearing this, Xia Le's face suddenly froze.

He then took the phone bug from Eveya's hand.

"Charlot!"

The familiar voice, but it also felt a little unfamiliar, and it couldn't help but make Xia Le in a trance.

"Warring States General!"

Soon, he reacted and smiled.

"I heard that the Golden Lion attacked your G-18 fortress?"

Sengoku asked in a deep voice.

"Not bad."

Xia Le nodded, his eyes flickering slightly.

He was pondering the meaning behind the phone call from the headquarters.

"How's it going?"

Sengoku asked.

"The G-18 fortress no longer exists."

"We're building new bases."

Xia Le sighed.

"Do you need help from the headquarters?"

Sengoku also sighed.

"Not for the time being, thank you for your kindness."

Xia Le smiled and thanked him.

"Alas!"

"Xia Le, between you and me, there is no need to be so different."

Sengoku shook his head and sighed.

"Even if the O'Hara incident was in the past, you and I are still in the navy now."

"Isn't it?"

Hearing this, Xia Le was slightly silent, and only after a while did a smile appear on the corner of his mouth.

"You're right."

"Although there are differences in what is considered justice between them."

"But, we're all navy!"

Sitting at the desk, Zhan Guo's face was slightly condensed, and he naturally heard the meaning of the other party's words.

"There's one thing."

The index finger tapped on the table, and Sengoku said in a deep voice.

"Warring States General, please speak."

Xia Ledao.

"Our fellows in the Great Passage brought back a piece of information not long ago."

Sengoku seems to be organizing language.

After a slight hesitation, his tone intensified.

"One of your guys."

"Appears to have appeared on a pirate ship, and as the captain."

When Xia Le heard this, his eyes condensed slightly: "Who?" ”

"Klokdal!"

Warring States Road.

"Oh?"

Charlotte grinned.

"Did that guy mutiny?"
