silence.

Suddenly on the warship, all sounds seemed to disappear.

The gloomy look on Xia Le's face was visible to the naked eye.

Crocodile looked at the other side fixedly, only wanting an answer in his heart at this moment.

The once broken memories are merging with the new self, and some past ambitions are also rapidly emerging.

Pirates, navy?

Everything was broken, and then condensed into the face of the young navy in front of him.

After a while, when the sea breeze came and blew the cloak behind Xia Le, the gloom on his face dissipated, replaced by a smile.

"Remember the time?"

Crocodile nodded: "Not much, but vaguely, I have already understood my past."

"So you were there on that day two years ago?"

Xia Le sighed softly.

At that time, he really did not expect that anyone would see that scene. The alleyway was very narrow, less than one meter, and the exit directly opposite was full of people kneeling on the ground.

Facing the Tianlong people, how many people would dare to raise their heads and peek ahead?

Unexpectedly, Crocodile happened to be there.

"yes!"

Crocodile nodded again.

"So, what do you think?"

Xia Le smiled lightly, looking at the subordinate in military uniform in front of him.

Crocodile was silent, he was thinking.

It is unimaginable for a person who can attack Tianlong people simply and swiftly. At the same time, he will not be willing to be a mere major general, and even in the future, he will not stop at the navy.

After a long time, Crocodile raised his head.

"No matter what kind of ambition and ambition you have in your heart, there is no doubt about it."

"You also need a group of trusted helpers."

Taking a deep breath, he solemnly looked into each other's eyes.

"I am willing to be your most reliable and powerful helper!"

My former self may have dreamed of becoming a great pirate, the One Piece King. But that memory has been broken, and he can only rely on scattered memories to recall his past self.

Today, he cherishes what is in front of him even more, just as Chief Xia Le said when he was awarded the title.

Living in the moment!

Xia Le laughed, looked at Crocodile in front of him, and laughed out loud.

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what kind of riddle they were playing.

"Hey, Lao Sha, what's going on? What are you talking to Chief Xia Le?"

Rossindi ran over, put his arm around Crocodile's shoulder, and asked curiously.

Ivans and the others also turned their heads and showed interest.

"I discovered one of the chief's secrets!"

Pursing his lips, Crocodile said with a smile.

"What secret?"

"Can you tell us?"

Mina asked.

Crocodile smiled, glanced at Xia Le, and then laughed.

"Our officer!"

"He, killed the Tianlongren!"

For a moment, the whole ship was silent.

Luo Xidi, who was originally smiling, constricted his pupils, and everyone else changed color.

But when they saw Xia Le, who was looking at them with a smile on his face, with his hands in his arms, everyone quickly recovered their smiles.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"You guy, what kind of joke are you talking about?"

"It is not funny."

"I just feel terrified!"

Everyone laughed and cursed.

Everyone didn't take Crocodile's words seriously, because their chief didn't admit it at all.

Only Ivans, when he turned his head inadvertently, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a frightened and shocked face.

"He didn't deny it either!!!"

But soon, this incident was forgotten in everyone's mind.

Everything is as if nothing happened.

Next, they were even more curious about what was in the wooden box in Evans' hands.

"What will it be?"

"The chief said that the headquarters attaches great importance to this mission."

"The items inside are probably worth tens of thousands of gold, right?"

"It must be something beyond our imagination."

Several people felt itchy in their hearts, but because of the rules, they didn't dare to easily unlock the wooden box.

"If you want to know what's inside, just open it."

Xia Le laughed.

He was not very interested in the contents of the wooden box, because he had probably guessed it.

Eighty percent of them are devil fruits.

Today's Vegapunk should have launched a series of research on devil fruit and bloodline factors.

"can I open this?"

"Isn't this task strictly confidential?"

T Peng En said in surprise.

"If you don't tell it, isn't it just keeping it secret?"

"Xiaogu, don't be so rigid! Otherwise, you will suffer a lot in the future!"

Xia Le asked back, and then said to Crocodile.

"Xiao Sha, use your ability to open it!"

Crocodile smiled when he heard this: "It's very simple."

After a while, grains of sand drilled into the hole in the lock of the wooden box, and quickly solidified into a key.

With the sound of the lock cylinder being pried, the wooden box was opened.

Ivans untied the lid of the wooden box, and everyone looked at it together, only to see a fruit covered with strange patterns on its surface, which immediately caught their eyes.

"It's a devil fruit!"

Sloane was shocked.

"Our mission here is to escort the devil fruit?"

Kira also said.

Everyone was very surprised, but Xia Le's expression was calm.

He knew very well that after the Navy controlled Vegapunk, the latter conducted a series of research on Devil Fruit and developed a variety of results.

"Close it."

After taking a glance and seeing the longing in everyone's eyes, Xia Le said calmly again.

With a snap, Ivans closed the box neatly.

"Hey, if we want to have this ability, we can fight for it ourselves in the future."

"This fruit is for this mission."

Hearing this, the longing in the eyes of Si Luo and the others just faded away.

Egghead Island was not too close to them, but it wasn't too far either.

Ten days later, the warship just entered the island's port.

As Xia Le expected, the defense of Egghead Island was very strict, and a lieutenant general was in charge of receiving them.

"I'm sorry, Major General Xia Le. According to the regulations, no one outside this island is allowed to enter here."

The lieutenant general said in a low voice.

"What about me?"

Xia Le took the wooden box that Ivans handed over, and then said again.

"The order I got is to hand over this item to Vegapunk."

The lieutenant general was silent at first, then spoke again.

"As a disciple of Lieutenant Admiral Cap, the naval hero, I believe you are trustworthy."

"But as I said just now, only you are allowed to enter with mission items."

Xia Le nodded.

Then, he passed through the ports stationed by many elite navies and entered the island.

There is no doubt that Eggherd is now a well-defended scientific research base.

When passing through the gate of the base, Xia Le saw not only the navy, but also some mysterious people in black with cold expressions and very vigilant.

About half an hour later, he saw Vegapunk in the waiting room.

"Come with me, Major General Xia Le."

When the latter saw him, he waved and turned to leave.

Xia Le was taken aback for a moment, and followed with a suitcase.
