USS Sander.

The gloomy clouds were dispelled and the sun was pouring down.

Moria was half-leaning on the edge of the boat, with a white bandage on her body. After a brief treatment of his injuries, he appeared to be in some good spirits.

Bartholomew Bear stood to one side, holding a book in his hand, as if reading, but his eyes kept falling on the man in front of him.

He was a little puzzled, and a little curious.

"That sword, did you accept that swordsman as a disciple?"

Xiong asked.

Xia Le smiled slightly: "Disciple? What you say is a bit outrageous. ”

"He's a pirate!"

The corners of the bear's eyes twitched, and he looked incredulous.

Can that hint be more obvious?

But this guy's actions are really elusive, and it is impossible to tell what the specific purpose of the other party is.

"And what are you going to do with them?"

The bear then turned his head and stared at Moria, who was dressed in bandages.

"Not long ago, Moria, but she decided to mess with me."

"He's his own now!"

Xia Le said with a smile.

He rolled his eyes and looked at the man who was resting on the boat at this time.

How to make this guy stronger and return to his previous peak and self-confidence, he already has a plan in mind.

It's just that this set of plans is undoubtedly quite hard.

When the bear heard this, his eyes flashed and he looked at Moria.

"Your own people?"

This is a surprising result, the Seven Martial Sea Moria actually took refuge in the Admiral.

Looking at the other party's bright eyes at the moment, it seems that he has some kind of expectation, which is completely different from his previous state.

The bear was thoughtful.

He had some suspicions that some kind of agreement must have been reached between the two men.

——

On the other side, the adjusted Straw Hats have been rejuvenated.

They were on the verge of despair again, unharmed.

"What? Green algae head, you said you saw Xia Le again? ”

Sanji said in surprise.

He couldn't forget the scene he had seen not long ago, with blood all over the place, and Sauron as if he was about to die.

But fortunately, the other party's vitality is tenacious enough to survive.

"Well, that man, not involved!"

Zoro nodded.

In front of his eyes, the knife that the other party unleashed appeared again.

That exquisite move, powerful slash, the impact on yourself is unprecedented, as long as you comprehend, you will definitely be able to greatly improve your strength.

It's just that the only thing that makes him strange is, what is the purpose of the other party?

In other words, what is Xia Le's attitude towards them?

"That guy, is it really an enemy?"

Usopp also muttered.

"It's hard to say, Xia Le, this guy is a very strange person!"

Nami pondered.

Robin listened quietly as everyone discussed, a smile on his face.

Compared with others, she thinks she still knows a little about Xia Le.

Equal justice.

In the face of injustice, they are not afraid of who the enemy is, and they have the courage to take action.

There is no doubt that there is a thread in the man's heart that separates the righteous from the evil with precision.

Whoever crosses that line will face a cold, ruthless, and powerful iron-blooded navy.

On the other hand, the man will often show his gentleness and kindness.

Sauron sat there silently, bandages wrapped around his body.

"Guina's teacher?"

He muttered, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

How powerful are the former friends? After so many years of cultivation, I have made a lot of progress from the East China Sea here.

"Will you be my opponent now?"

"Guina!"

Sauron's heart whispered.

For a moment, he was looking forward to the duel in the future.

"Hahaha!"

"Xia Le is Grandpa Karp, the most valued disciple!"

"When I was a child, my grandfather often said that he wanted Xia Le to train me personally, but fortunately he didn't."

Luffy said with a laugh.

"What if you let that guy train you?"

Usopp was stunned.

When Zoro heard this, his forehead turned black, and then he scolded: "Idiot! ”

Only he knew how terrifying Xia Le's strength was, and being personally trained by such a strong man would inevitably make rapid progress.

"That guy is amazing!"

"I caught Roger again, if he trains me and learns that I want to become the king of the pirates, he will definitely be unkind to me!"

Luffy said with a laugh.

Everyone was speechless.

"Still."

When he said this, a touch of solemnity and seriousness appeared between Luffy's complexions.

"I've heard Shanks talk about him, too."

"Red-haired Shanks?"

Usopp took a breath and exclaimed in shock.

His father, Jesus, is among the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Well, Shanks once said."

"Xia Le is a very terrible man, although he is a navy, he is a greater threat to the world government than any pirate in the world!"

"Even, there is a good chance that he will hurt the whole world!"

"An extremely unstable, extremely terrible careerist!"

These words made everyone's complexion change suddenly, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on their cheeks.

"Even the redhead, one of the Four Emperors, commented on him like this!"

Sanji's throat rolled, and he was very nervous.

"It's hard to imagine that such a guy, we have met him twice, and he can still be safe and sound!"

Chopper said tremblingly.

"You said Xia Le, I suddenly remembered!"

"Mr. Tom's news seems to be related to this man!"

Frankie suddenly thought and exclaimed.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Zoro's face changed, and he thought that Guina had something to do with that man, too.

"Hahaha!"

"What a mysterious guy!"

"Makes me wonder if he's in the Navy or not."

Luffy laughed.

This is a brief discussion of Xia Le within the Straw Hats, which made them aware of something, magical, and terrifying.

But the crowd didn't really care, and after a while, they went to do something else.

——

A day later.

The Sander sailed into a windless zone.

Xia Le stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the island that was already clear in front of him, and a touch of emotion appeared on his face.

The girl of the past is now the world's most famous empress.

Bartholomew Bear stood behind him, also looking into the distance.

Moria was also able to stand up at this time, about three centimeters taller than the bear, covered in bandages, and looked a little funny.

Perona swayed beside Charlotte, looking ahead.

"I heard that among the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, the only woman, Boya Han Cook, is the first beauty in the world."

"No one can resist her charm!"

Xia Le glanced sideways at the girl next to her, and said with a smile: "She is indeed very beautiful." ”

When she was a girl, she was already a beauty, and now that many years have passed, she is naturally more attractive.

"Have you seen her?"

Perona said in surprise.

"Of course I do."

Xia Le nodded.

"Wow!"

"Tell me, how pretty is she?"

"Compare with me? Which of the two of us is better-looking? ”

Perona floated left and right, anxiously asking.

"Boya Hancock is good-looking, and you are."

Xia Le smiled.

"What am I?"

Perona said expectantly.

"You're cute!"

Xia Ledao.

Suddenly, Perona snorted, she was not satisfied with the answer.

Moments later, the warship approached Nine Snake Island.

The sudden arrival naturally attracted the attention of the Nine Snake Island.

In the harbor, a large ship with two giant snakes at the bow of the ship shuddered lightly and sailed away from the harbor.

"Hancock, it's a man from the Navy!"

"At this time, what are they suddenly coming for?"

Granny New said with some concern.

"Could it be because not long ago, sister, you didn't respond to their call to participate in the Wuhai Conference?"

The second sister, Sandasonia, said worriedly.

"The navy is not so narrow-minded!"

"Moreover, that warship looks somewhat familiar."

Hancock said with a frown.

At the bow was a warship, which seemed to be somewhat identical to the one she remembered, but in terms of specific details and outlines, it was not the same one.

"Could it be him?"

Thinking of this, Hancock's body trembled, and a touch of excitement appeared in his eyes.

But, that man hasn't been seen for nearly a decade.

Time passes.

As the two ships approached, the figure standing at the bow of the other side also quickly emerged, and was clearly reflected in the eyes of the three sisters.

"Sister!!"

"It's him!!"

"It's Lieutenant General Xia Le!"

Sandasonia and Marigrude all cried out excitedly at this moment, and they recognized each other the moment they saw that figure.

"Who is it?"

Granny New looked confused, and she turned her head to look at the empress.

Then, I found that Hancock's mood at this time was even more outrageous.

I saw that on her already beautiful and fair face, two clusters of blush appeared, and the empress, who had always been cold, looked like a shy girl at this time.

"Hey, hey, what's going on with you?"

"Hancock!"

Granny New shouted angrily.

But Hancock is clearly immersed in his own world, remembering the promise he once made to the other party.

"Marry 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. Similarly, the empress's shy appearance also came into his eyes.

Perona, who was next to her, was wide-eyed, constantly turning back and forth on the empress's face and his face.

"You guys, what the hell is going on with this lover meeting?"

Suddenly, Xia Le frowned and knocked on the head of the girl beside him.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Perona hugged her head and screamed, but her eyes rolled.

"Between these two people, there is definitely a secret!"

——

Meanwhile.

Marin Vando.

As soon as Karp's kobold warship landed, he learned of something that changed his face.

"Fire Fist Ace has been captured and will be sent to Advance City, in the Infinite Hell."

The sudden news made the old lieutenant general not even have time to say a word to his subordinates, so he ran and rushed to the headquarters prison.

Soon after, he met Sengoku, who was personally escorted, and Ace, who was wearing the shackles of the sea tower stone on his hands and feet.

"Karp!"

"He'll be sent to the Push City!"

"And next, we will announce to the world the news of the execution of Fire Fist Ace!"

The old friend's serious words made Karp tremble and his fists clenched violently.
