"Boom~"

The ground of Marinfando shook, and invisible ripples spread out in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, it swept through the entire fortress base.

Countless navies looked up in shock at this moment, looking at the shaking ground, their faces frightened.

"Is the enemy coming?"

"Did Whitebeard escape?"

"The ground is shaking, and this is clearly the power of the earthquake fruit!"

For a time, the entire Marin Fando people were terrified.

But soon, they noticed.

The ground that had been split began to move after a violent tremor, and then suddenly merged together, and the places that had been destroyed by the shaking before were closed again.

On the bridge, a convoy of navy is passing.

But suddenly, an invisible force permeated, and after a buzz, the navy was shocked to find that the bridge under their feet was actually floating strangely.

"What the hell is going on?"

The lead officer shouted in shock.

Everyone lay on both sides of the bridge and looked down.

I saw a loud bang, and the crack that was shaken open by Whitebeard's punch was quickly approaching, and finally collided together, splashing a large amount of dust, and merging into one.

"The ruined foundations of Marinfando are being restored to their integrity!"

"It's incredible!"

"It was General Charlot's doing!!"

Soon, a voice came from within the headquarters, which relieved the frightened navy.

"Although it seems a little outrageous, with that man's strength, it is normal!"

Zoro sighed softly as he looked at the ground that was gradually leveling down.

The shattered land is once again fused into one.

The level of this kind of great power is no different from that whitebeard who is almost devastating.

"Where is that man's limit?"

Not long ago, the fierce battle between the three is still vivid.

In that battle, Xia Le mostly used physical skills to fight, with the power of the animal-based phantom beast species.

But in terms of occasional details, it also shows the strength of its body, not only one.

For example, the lightning that burst out of the thunder pillar, and the Kunpeng formed by the ground rolling up.

The tremors lasted for nearly two hours, and from the topography, Marinfando was no different from before.

Xia Le exhaled slowly, his feet levitated, and then turned into thunder and returned to the office again.

"That's it, so it's all right!"

Facing the trance-like expression of the Warring States, he said with a smile.

"If you have any damage, you just need to rebuild and repair it for a while!"

Sengoku said with emotion.

He propped himself up by the window, looking at Marinfando, whose landscape was no different from before, and his heart was both joyful and uplifting.

The power of the Devil Fruit is not only used for combat, but also for some abilities in terms of people's livelihood and infrastructure.

Eyes scanned every inch of Marinfando, the sky was blue today, and the sea breeze was blowing, warm and comfortable.

After a long time, Sengoku turned around and sat down in his chair with a satisfied smile on his face.

Rarely, he didn't sit upright, but looked for a comfortable position to sit in, and loosened the collar on his body.

Suddenly, the originally neat clothes became crooked.

He didn't wear a hat on his head, and he could see the gray hair, and he could barely find a few black hairs.

The usual seriousness on his face has also dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief after letting go of many burdens.

"So, Charlot!"

"It's time for us to talk about my retirement."

The voice was relaxed, with a smile on his face, and the Warring States looked at Xia Le with a pair of eyes.

In the office, the pheasant and the yellow ape sitting on the side were stunned when they heard this, and their faces became serious.

Xia Le was also slightly stunned, and then nodded slightly.

In terms of age alone, Sengoku is already seventy-seven years old this year, while the normal retirement age is between sixty and sixty-five.

Karp's age is seventy-six.

Whitebeard, seventy-two years old.

Speaking of which, in a sense, he was beating the old man in a sense of the battle on top.

The age difference between the two sides is even several generations.

"It's time for you to rest."

Xia Le said with a smile.

"You're welcome, kid!"

Sengoku smiled bitterly.

"I'm in charge of this matter."

Xia Le smiled.

His eyes shone brightly.

Taking the Navy into complete control of one's own hands was a plan that had been finalized twenty years ago. It took a long time to get to this point.

"Haha!"

"So, let's discuss this matter carefully!"

Sengoku laughed, and then suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at the yellow ape.

"Where is Sakasky now?"

The yellow ape was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xia Le, and seemed to be smiling in his tone.

"Now, it should be in the Navy Hospital, rescue, right?"

Xia Le's expression did not change in the slightest.

Sengoku nodded: "With such a serious injury, he really should have a good rest for a while." ”

After a pause, his eyes turned cold again.

"Regarding the negative impact on the navy caused by his unauthorized exposure of our army's plans during the war, which led to the disclosure of secrets."

"After he recovers from his injuries, a court-martial will be convened to make a decision."

The yellow ape and the pheasant's face remained unchanged, and they did not have any opinion on this matter.

"I suggest sending him to Advance City."

Xia Le said with a smile.

"The Navy has relevant laws and regulations, and it will naturally give you justice."

Sengoku glared.

He can see the guy in front of him clearly, if he can declare a personal vendetta, the other party will never let go of any opportunity.

It is conceivable that after the other party comes to power, even if Sakasky remains in the navy, his life will inevitably be very difficult.

Charlotte shrugged.

Afterwards, the group moved on to the discussion session after retirement.

In fact, there is not much to say about the retirement of the Warring States, but more importantly, it is naturally about the candidates for the post of marshal of the Navy after his retirement.

And after the pheasant and the yellow ape made it clear that they had nothing more to think about, Xia Le was naturally the only candidate.

This was not surprising to all.

As a result, I entered into the details of the job and the discussion of related matters.

——

It was in Marinfando, in the marshal's office, at the time of the internal meeting of the next marshal, on this distant sea.

"Hurry, hurry! Hemostatic cotton! ”

"Blood, a lot of blood!!"

"Adrenaline!!"

Trembling, nervous, anxious yells kept coming from the cabin.

One by one, things were passed quickly, and the Red Foss was wrapped in a tense, solemn, and worried atmosphere.

Outside the cabin, in the midst of smoke, figures huddled on the deck, their faces solemn and serious, and the gushing breath almost suffocated the ship.

"How's it going?"

Looking at the ship's doctor who came out of the cabin, Ace asked in a deep voice.

"It's still being rescued."

"We're trying to snatch Shanks' life back from Hades."

The ship's doctor sighed.

Hearing this, Ace's heart trembled and clenched his fists.

In that terrible battle, one of the four emperors suffered a heavy blow that was almost dead, and their father was arrested.

Combined with the strength of the two Four Emperors, he was still defeated, and the strength of that man was unpredictable.

"Be patient, such a serious injury, it will take a process, and I believe he will be able to get through."

Marco walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered comfort.

"Hmm!"

Ace nodded, but his mood was still lost.

In this battle, the blow to the Whitebeard Pirates was too heavy. A number of captains were arrested, and their pirate group also suffered heavy damage.

"Don't blame yourself too much, frustrated, Ace!"

"This war has nothing to do with you, they are here for Daddy."

Marco sighed again.

Ace didn't say anything, and silently clenched his fists.

"And, in the war, Sakasky has made everything you went through clear."

"No one will believe the words of Sengoku, you are all for us!"

"We're family, aren't we?"

Marco said slowly.

Behind him were the other captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Ace's body trembled, then he looked up at the group.

"No one will believe the nonsense of the Navy!"

"Daddy believes in you, and we believe in you!"

"Hahaha, Ace, how long have you been with us? How long has it been with the Navy? Who do you think we believe? ”

"You're Daddy's captain, cheer up!"

"That's it, the next Whitebeard Pirates, but it's up to you to lead it!"

Foil Bista, Bramanque, Lakyo, Blenheim and other captains all smiled and said, their eyes full of trust and encouragement.

Seeing this scene, Ace's heart trembled, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily.

"Thank you for your trust!"

Marco also smiled and patted him: "The more difficult the moment, the more you have to persevere." ”

There was a pause, his tone inexplicable.

"The Whitebeard Pirates."

"You can't fall!"

Ace's pupils contracted and he exhaled, "I know what to do!" ”

"From now on, you're the new captain of the Pirates!"

"Take everyone and go back completely."

"Then regroup, one day, revenge for this war!"

Marco said in a deep voice.

"I'll definitely save Daddy!!"

Ace gritted his teeth.

Before leaving, they all saw that Whitebeard had only been arrested, and his life and death were uncertain. So, be willing to believe in the best results.

That is, Daddy is still alive.

However, many people actually know very well in their hearts that Daddy's situation is not good.

"Now, let's wait for Shanks to wake up!"

With his eyes condensed, Ace said in a deep voice.

His gaze was also looking into the cabin.

The two pirates have just experienced a big battle, and many people are resting, but Shanks is unconscious, and the Whitebeard Pirates, as allies, naturally have to pay attention at all times.

As a result, the captain with a wound who was simply bandaged and disgraced huddled on this ship.

Beckman, Jesus Cloth and others are inside, they are outside.

Ace was silent, his hands clenched.

His psychological pressure was quite high, and taking over the position of captain of the Whitebeard Pirates was too sudden and unexpected for him.

This should have been Marco's business, and it was also the ideal person in his heart.

However, it is also my father's wish.

"How can I not let everyone down?"

"How can I get stronger?"

Ace fell into a deep confusion.
