Pirate: If you are immortal, I will first fill up the overlord color

Xihai, headquarters base.

"Yeah?"

"This is good news!"

With a smile on Xia Le's face, he replied softly.

"I am coming over now."

Not long ago, a message came from the Vegapunk Test Base that Seraphim Zeus brought back Kozuki Oden.

This is Xia Le's first name on that piece of paper.

The importance of Kozuki Oden is self-evident. As the most powerful samurai in the contemporary Wano country, his combat power is beyond doubt.

When he was brought on board by Whitebeard, he was once the deputy captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and then he was borrowed by Roger to help him become One Piece.

When Roger disbanded the pirate group, Kozuki Oden returned to Wano Country, encountered Kaido and his gang, and finally died of humiliation.

For Wano Country Kaido and his group, Xia Le doesn't have any thoughts at the moment.

"The future of this world, the more chaotic the better!"

In other words, the existence of Kaido, Bigumamu, and the future Four Emperors has a check and balance effect on the world government.

Only in such a relatively balanced situation can he develop silently.

Whether it is the forces under his command, the expansion of the organization, the cultivation of talents, or the technology of Vegapunk, it takes time to mature.

But at the same time, Vegapunk also brought a message.

That was the injury on Kozuki Oden's body, it was too serious.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xia Le came to the test base alone, and also saw the Wano country samurai at this time.

Burns burned in multiple places all over the body, and the wrinkled skin reminded of decayed wood.

"Is he still alive?"

Xia Le asked with a frown.

"Only one breath."

"Now I have two options."

"One is to study his corpse after his death, extract the blood factors from his body, and create a new Seraph."

Vegapunk said quickly.

His eyes were a little excited, and he never expected that in a short period of time, he, the leader, would be able to get two strong men.

The blood factor of the golden lion brought him new inspiration.

And Zeus, who returned not long ago, also has many problems with him, and subsequent improvements can be made.

"The second is to immediately carry out some organizational transformation on him."

"Reform him into a more powerful artificial human!"

Xia Le frowned slightly: "After the transformation, do you still have consciousness?"

"consciousness?"

Vegapunk was taken aback when he heard the words, and became thoughtful.

After a while, his tone hesitated.

"I can't be sure about this, and I need to ask you a question."

"Do you want a conscious Kozuki Oden, or a cyborg who fully accepts orders?"

Xia Le blinked at this question, but he responded quickly.

"A man like Kozuki Oden, I think if he is conscious, he should be more useful!"

Machines and man-made humans cannot be domineering. In this world's combat power system, domineering is undoubtedly a vital part.

"I see!"

"I will try my best!"

Vegapunk nodded.

Xia Le glanced around again. He saw Zeus lying there quietly in the laboratory. His body had been cut open, apparently for further transformation.

The body of the golden lion Shiji was soaked in formalin.

In the far corner, there is a strange fruit with intricate patterns carved on it.

"That's it, devil fruit?"

Xia Le asked in surprise.

"It can be said, but it is not mature, and eating it will only poison people to death."

Vegapunk said without looking back.

Xia Le was speechless.

The scientist really surprised him. While studying the blood factor, he was able to conduct experiments on man-made devil fruits at the same time.

"Also, there is one thing!"

"My laboratory needs some special materials, which may be difficult to obtain here."

"Therefore, I will exchange it with some people through other channels."

Vegapunk said again.

Xia Le squinted her eyes: "Then you have to pay attention to your whereabouts, so as not to be discovered by others."

"rest assured!"

"When my Seraphs are finished, they will be enough to carry out the mission."

"In addition, the native navy can also be used by those Sandias you summoned on Sky Island."

"The weapons I have improved have improved their combat power a lot."

Vegapunk said proudly.

Xia Le smiled slightly, but he knew that this guy would create an island-destroying terrifying weapon in the future.

Then, after staying for a while, he turned and left after learning about the progress of his project.

The transformation of Kozuki Oden must be very complicated, it will take a lot of time, and it will even surpass Bartholomew.

But once it succeeds, it will greatly improve the power of his subordinates.

Time flies by, and it is another year in a blink of an eye.

The sea calendar is 1505.

Xia Le received a call from his teacher Karp and told him the good news that he had a grandson, and mentioned that Ace was well taken care of.

It was also this year that the Xihai headquarters base where he was located was completely completed.

The entire Xihai base is more grand and majestic than the G-18 fortress, suspended 500 meters above the steel port on the sea.

A large number of warships and spaceships come and go between ports and islands.

"Currently, there are 15,000 naval recruits at the headquarters."

"Deputy Commander Barrett is conducting rigorous training on them."

Reported by Eve Yahui.

"Bucky, Smoker, and Aroxiu, where are the three boys?"

Xia Le asked.

"The three of them have already mastered the six styles, and their strength has improved greatly in this year, and they have the strength comparable to that of a school-level officer."

Eveya replied with a smile.

"good!"

Xia Le nodded.

He is quite satisfied with the speed at which the strength of the three of them has improved.

"The recruitment of our branches in the West Sea is still going on, and the headquarters base can accommodate up to 50,000 troops."

"There is still a long way to go before this goal."

Eveya said again.

Xia Le nodded slightly and said no more.

Time continued to pass.

Xihai's power is getting stronger and stronger, and elite school-level officers have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. After the golden lion destroyed the G-18 fortress, the strength of the remaining soldiers improved greatly, and a large number of school-level strongmen emerged.

The sea calendar is 1506.

Xia Le sent a letter of congratulations to Alabasta and presented him with a generous gift.

"Congratulations on the birth of my dear niece, Neferutali Lili."

"Because of my busy schedule, please forgive my brother for not being able to participate in this happy event."

Cobra held this brief letter, tears streaming down his face, weeping with joy.

Xia Le is entrenched in the West Sea, and under his planning and guidance, the power of this sea area has grown rapidly.

It was also this year that Xihai Headquarters recruited a powerful female navy.

"Her name is Hina!"

"It is a person with the ability of the threshold fruit, and its strength is very strong."

"This is the first female officer with fruit ability that we have recruited in recent years."

Eva said excitedly.

Xia Le nodded, looking at the straight female officer standing in the square in front of the office: "List her as a seed and focus on training."

"yes!"

Eveya said.

"Also, what about Crocodile?"

Xia Le narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in a low voice.

"A few days ago, Crocodile contacted the headquarters and reported his recent situation."

"As a pirate, he has assembled a group of intelligence personnel, and is now in the second half of the great channel."

Eveya said.

"Hehe, this guy has become his pirate again."

"Dream come true?"

Xia Le smiled faintly.

After that, he stopped paying attention.

Crocodile is on a business trip with a mission, the purpose of which is to establish an intelligence organization covering the world, that is, Baroque Studio.

For him, this should be his old job, without much difficulty.

But obviously, after traveling freely, this guy has let himself go a little bit, and even caused the Warring States to ask him personally.

"The bounty is 81 million, Shakrokdar!"

"The bounty has not increased by a single point."

Xia Le shook his head and laughed.

Putting the reward order aside, he quickly devoted himself to other work.

The scheduling, appointment and dismissal of the entire West Sea were all under his grasp at this time. It can be said that most of the leisure time has been occupied by tedious work.

"I really want to pick someone up!"

"Forget it, just take it as preparation for becoming an admiral in the future."

Xia Le sighed.

——

The year of the sea calendar is 1507, which is also Xia Le's seventh year as the commander-in-chief of the West Sea.

The second half of the Great Channel.

"Boss, the front is the domain of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

On the pirate ship flying the skull flag, a strong man with a scar on his face said in a trembling voice.

"White beard?"

"so what!"

"Just hearing his name, do you already tremble all over?"

The cigar in his mouth sparkled, Crocodile said mockingly.

After leaving the West Sea, he seemed to have returned to freedom. While completing the tasks assigned by Xia Le, he also experienced the addiction of being a pirate a long time ago.

Now, returning to this familiar sea again, I can't help feeling a little bit emotional.

At the same time, there is a touch of excitement and blood boiling in my heart.

"That's Whitebeard! Boss!"

The pirate behind said nervously.

"so what?"

"I really want to know how big the gap is between myself and the legendary characters!"

Crocodile sneered.

His eyes flickered, and he calculated carefully in his heart.

Over the years, under Xia Le's command, his own strength has improved rapidly, and the development of armed domineering and fruit abilities has reached a new level.

Thinking to myself, even if I lose to Whitebeard, I can still leave calmly.

Most importantly, he really wanted to know the gap between himself and the strongest in the world.

As for challenging Xia Le, Crocodile gave up just as soon as the idea came up.

That's a monster!

"Steer the boat over!"

"I want to see how powerful this legendary pirate is!"

Crocodile shouted loudly.

The pirates under him looked at each other in blank dismay, but in the end they had no choice but to grit their teeth and obey.

Three days later, a piece of news spread across the world.

"The rookie pirate Crocodile challenged Whitebeard and ended up losing."

Moby Dick aboard.

"Ku la la la la!"

"Boy, you dare to challenge me even before your hair grows?"

White Beard laughed, sitting on the edge of the boat, holding a fishing rod.

Marco and the others behind him looked at the bound figure at the other end of the fishing line with smiles on their faces.

"Keep the hook tight, gram."

"Your name is Crocodile, right?"

"As long as you catch a fish, I will let you go."

Whitebeard laughed.

"Otherwise, you will be buried in the sea today."

Everyone around laughed loudly.

Crocodile had a golden hook in his mouth, his face was ashen, and he was extremely humiliated. At the same time, I was also horrified that the opponent's strength was so powerful.

At this moment, a person who was also tied to the deck suddenly yelled.

"Boss Crocodile belongs to Lieutenant General Xia Le!"

"How dare you treat him like this!!"

"If he knows, even if you are Whitebeard, he will not let you go!"

As the words came out, the smile on Whitebeard's face froze suddenly, and the atmosphere on the boat was also suddenly silent.

After a long while, there was a loud laugh.

"Kula la la la!"

"Charle?"

"Then let that kid, come and ask me for someone in person!"

With a smile in his white beard's eyes, he looked forward to Crocodile who was biting the fishhook.

"Before that, I will trouble you to help me fish well!"
