"Sabo!?"

"Is he still alive?"

Unbelievable words came out of Ace's mouth, and a pair of eyes fixed on the man in front of him.

He couldn't even judge the authenticity of what the other party said, because if it was true, it would be terrible.

Undoubtedly it meant that this man knew him well, and even knew everything between the three brothers.

"As I said, the answer to this question depends on your choice!"

"From this moment, being a navy, you will get the answer to whether your good brother, Sabo is alive or not."

Xia Le shook his head and said with a smile.

His eyes fell on Ace, and he could clearly see the changing colors on his face.

Obviously, Sabo's question made the man in front of him hesitate.

"Sabo died a long time ago, how did you hear about him?"

Taking a deep breath, Ace questioned solemnly.

He once saw with his own eyes that his good brother died under shelling and was buried in raging fire.

But the other party didn't answer this question, but just looked at him with a smile on his face, which made him feel even more dignified.

Difficulty, Sabo is really still alive?

"The choice is yours, Ace!"

"All I can do is to give you one more option on the path you have already decided in the future!"

Xia Le sighed softly.

Hearing this, Ace was silent at first, and then laughed: "When did you become like those magic sticks and start to believe in fate?"

Xia Le smiled slightly and stared at the other party: "You are right!"

"I don't believe in fate, even if there is such a thing."

"After going through untold hardships, and thus possessing this power, the purpose is to break it!"

After a pause, he made a soft, ethereal voice.

"Then, let it be the choice I listed for you!"

Ace fell silent, the simple choice made him hesitate.

"I need time!"

Finally, the freckle-faced man sighed.

Letting him make such a choice in such a short period of time is simply embarrassing him.

He has to choose between the clue of sworn brotherhood and the future path, which makes him feel very difficult.

Xia Le nodded slightly.

In the next two days, Ace seemed to be trying to integrate into the life of the navy, but he did not personally commit to joining the navy.

He and Kuina simply sparred and realized how powerful and terrifying this female swordsman is.

Only relying on swordsmanship and domineering, it seems that he has been able to steadily suppress him, the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Immediately afterwards, Ace asked Smoker and Bucky for advice.

The two also have a strong domineering cultivation base, which makes Ace more clearly aware of it.

"His subordinates seem to value domineering cultivation very much!"

"And this may be the reason why he stands on top of the world."

Ace blinked.

After owning the Burning Fruit, he was immersed in this fast-growing fruit power with terrifying destructive power and range.

Thus, the practice of domineering was ignored.

Staring at Xia Le in front of him, Ace showed gratitude in his eyes.

In the past two days, the other party didn't seem to teach him anything, but what he learned was extremely precious, and would even affect his entire life, the direction of becoming stronger.

"I want to know about Saab."

"Please tell me, is he still alive?"

After a little hesitation, Ace stepped forward and asked respectfully to the tall man in front of him with his back turned away.

"Oh? Do you want to join the Navy?"

Xia Le asked calmly.

"I don't want to lie to you."

"For the time being, I have no idea of ​​joining the navy. At least, I can't join your command until I catch Tiqi."

"So, can you tell me about Sabo?"

"I just want to know, is he alive or dead?"

Ace said quietly.

"You really make it difficult for me, Ace!"

Xia Le suddenly sighed, turned around, and stared at the man in front of him.

"I appreciate your candor."

"But I am a man who values ​​transactions very much. Sabo's news is the transaction between me and you."

"If you don't agree to join the navy, I can't tell you about Sabo's clues."

"unless!"

After a pause, there seemed to be a gap in Xia Le's tone.

"Unless what?"

Ace asked immediately.

"Unless you promise me, from now on, you will become my subordinate, a cadet navy!"

Xia Le sighed.

Ace was taken aback.

There was a puzzled look in his eyes.

Obviously, the other party is using various methods to deliberately lure, or seduce him to join the navy and obtain the identity of the navy.

Even for this reason, he did not hesitate to throw out Saab's news.

But why?

Even if the man in front of him loves himself and has a deep relationship with him like Grandpa Garp, why did he do all this?

Do you have to own a navy identity?

What is the meaning behind this?

Ace couldn't figure it out, and quickly decided not to think about it.

"A cadet in the Navy?"

"I promise you!"

After a little hesitation, he said in a deep voice.

Then, he clearly saw that the man in front of him had a smile on his face, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

"good!"

"You finally made the right choice!"

With a slight smile, Xia Le said slowly with emotion.

"As I said earlier, I'm a big deal."

"Once upon a time, there was a deal with your father."

"And Sabo's clue is a deal between me and you."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Xia Le stared at the other party.

"Believe me, these two transactions have a huge impact on you."

Ace was taken aback, with seriousness in his eyes.

Between the other party's words, he actually revealed something about that man.

"Sabo, are you still alive?"

he asked tremblingly.

Even though it could be brought up by the other party, the answer has already been guessed subconsciously, but it is still a mystery until the other party speaks it out.

"Sabo is indeed alive!"

Xia Le nodded.

Visible to the naked eye, there was a touch of excitement and excitement in Ace's eyes.

"Back then, he was rescued by other people after he was hit by the Tianlong people's shells."

"But because of this, I lost my memory, and I forgot all the memories of the past, which naturally includes you."

When Xia Le's voice came, Ace's body shook and he clenched his hands.

"I see!"

"No wonder, no wonder I have never heard of him for so many years, and Sabo has never looked for us!"

Afterwards, he bowed solemnly and sincerely thanked the man in front of him.

"Thank you, Uncle Xia Le!"

Xia Le smiled slightly: "Given your current status, I can only tell you so much!"

"If you one day, really join the navy."

"I can tell you where he is now, and more news."

It was another temptation, but Ace couldn't resist it. He really wanted to agree to the other party completely, and then went to find his brother.

However, after his complexion changed, he sighed heavily again.

Unfortunately, he can't do it yet.

"At the very least, it should be after I catch Tiki!"

"Only the guy who betrayed his father and started to attack his own people, I will never forgive him!"

Ace gritted his teeth.

And this is also the reason why he traveled alone and came to the first half of the great channel.

In the evening of the same day, Ace jumped off the boat and left in a rocket ship.

Of course, he didn't tell Xia Le, so it can be said that he left without saying goodbye.

Xia Le sat on the chair at the bow with her eyes closed, and saw the figure of the other party sneaking away clearly, but she didn't stop her.

"Teacher, Ace left a letter."

Guina came with the letter in her hand.

Xia Le opened his eyes and reached out to take it.

Soon, he scanned the letter with a smile on his face.

"What a brat!"

I saw Ace's letter detailing his inner joy after reuniting with Xia Le, and sincerely expressing the excitement of being able to be a naval cadet in this life.

"Thank you for reminding me of my first dream."

"But I also feel very guilty about it, because I can't continue to follow you in this capacity."

"Because I bear a heavier promise on my body, and my father's kindness to me cannot be forgotten."

"Tichi's betrayal is even more intolerable!"

"I promise you that after finishing this task and repaying my father's kindness, I will come to you and become an unknown soldier!"

"I also thank you for your love and teaching. I know that even after more than ten years, I am still that toddler in your heart."

"I see the love and concern in your eyes."

"..."

Words can always express things that humans cannot describe in words, or are too embarrassed to say.

This is a family letter from the heart, full of strong emotions between the lines. It is a letter from a junior who is like a son, expressing his thoughts to his elders.

After reading it, Xia Le let out a long breath with a complex expression on his face.

For a long while, he didn't say a word.

It wasn't until a certain moment that Kuina vaguely heard the teacher face the sea and spit out a small voice.

"Since it's my soldier!"

"Then your fate, I will help you break it!"

After a pause, resolute and decisive words came out.

"This war is over."

"You and I will usher in a new era!"

——

The morning after Ace left.

Admiral Sengoku, who was in Marlin Vanduo, finally frowned and dialed the phone bug in his hand.

"Blu, blu, blu!"

Hearing the busy tone from the phone bug in front of him, Zhan Guo tapped his index finger on the table, feeling a little impatient.

This is the frequency band on Xia Le's ship that was detected not long ago through the interior of the navy.

Suddenly, the busy tone on the phone disappeared, and a voice came from the other side.

"Xihai Branch, Rear Admiral, Crocodile!"

"Please say!"

A little hoarse, hearing the inexplicably uncomfortable voice also made Zhan Guo slightly startled.

Crocodile?

If he guessed right, the other party has already been ordered by him to revoke Qi Wuhai's identity and arrest him and send him to Jinjin City.

However, it suddenly appeared on the other end of the phone bug.

This obviously means that the change of the other party's identity also indicates that Xia Le, who walked out of the promotion city not long ago, has already started to act.

"Major general?"

"It seems that you are indeed carrying the mission secretly assigned by that kid."

Warring States said in a deep voice.

"Give the phone bug to Xia Le!"

After a slight pause, he took a light breath.

"It's time for us to start this conversation after nearly ten years!"
