Pirates: Improving your strength depends entirely on watching the fun!

How did you get out of Marinford, and how do you go back?

While sailing, he reported his battle situation to Zhan Guo. He repelled the enemy without hurting anyone and even captured the enemy's Ivankov.

By the way, let me ask, should this Ivankov be sent directly to the big prison? It is close there anyway. Otherwise, if he is taken back to Marinford, he will have to be transported here.

Zhan Guo thought about it for a while, and decided to send Ivankov to the big prison first, and then he called the World Government.

On the other side, King Aratia also called the World Government and probably explained the situation over there. Of course, he became more and more angry as he thought about it, and naturally blamed the navy.

As for Xia Zheteng, he had no time to care about this and went to the big prison.

Magellan came out to greet them, as well as Shiluo, this guy hasn't been to jail yet.

Come to think of it, this guy must have been practicing swordsmanship with the prisoners here recently, and he is probably about to be defeated by Magellan.

After handing over Ivankov, Xia Zheteng led the team away and headed towards Marinford.

"Lieutenant General Xia Zheteng, although we have achieved success this time, to be honest, although your tactical arrangement is good, the only party that suffered losses are the people of Amotia. I estimate that the king over there is likely to complain to the World Government."

"I will definitely file a complaint, but you don't have to pay attention to it. I will explain it to you."

Xia Zheteng had already thought about how to deal with it, so this was not a big deal at all.

After passing through the big whirlpool in the middle, we soon arrived at Marinford.

As soon as they returned to the headquarters, someone immediately informed them that Zhan Guo wanted to see them.

I knew it must be someone sent by the World Government.

When I arrived at the office, I saw Zhan Guo and He, as well as two men and one woman sitting at the other end. Judging from their clothes, these three looked like office workers.

"These are the members of the World Government who are here to coordinate this matter."

Xia Zheteng nodded. These three people did not give him a very strong impression. They were probably just ordinary office workers.

Come to think of it, the World Government cannot be just Marshal Sora and the Five Elders, or just the CP department. It must also have office staff.

"Please report the matter."

Xia Zheteng immediately stepped forward and said, "I commanded the entire battle. Stoloberi was responsible for guarding the warship to prevent the enemy from attacking from the sea. Lieutenant Colonel Smoker and Lieutenant Colonel Tina perfectly performed the task of protecting the city of Tianshangjin, and I completed the task of rescuing Amotia and captured Ivankov, a cadre of the Revolutionary Army. This rescue was perfect. Marshal, I think those who have made contributions should be rewarded generously."

Xia Zheteng became more and more excited as he spoke. Zhan Guo was speechless, and He also pressed his temples.

On the other hand, there was no change in the expressions of the three government members.

"Wait, Lieutenant General Xia Zheteng, I have to interrupt you."

One of them finally stood up and spoke.

Xia Zheteng stopped talking, looked at the other party, and said, "Tell me what questions you have, and I will answer them for you."

"According to King Kabudis, not all of your navy entered the palace, but went to protect civilians. Is this true?"

"Hey! Let me remind you, I'm not protecting civilians. I'm protecting Tian Shangjin."

"Where did those civilians get the gold from heaven? You have to know that if you were not there to protect the royal family of the Allied Powers, you would be derelict in your duty." Another irritable official stood up.

Xia Zheteng just rolled his eyes at him, then smiled and said, "Why don't you understand? Although the Tianshang Gold was handed over by the king of the allied country, where did the money come from?"

"These royal families are engaged in production and business, and they can still make money by themselves. No."

"The gold in the sky is all the people's tax money. The gold in the sky exists only because of the people. If one person dies, there will be one less gold in the sky. If tens of thousands of people die, how much less gold in the sky will be collected?"

After a pause, Xia Zheteng suddenly looked serious and said to the irritable official: "Remember, whether it is the World Government or the Navy, we must first ensure the interests of the Celestial Dragons, right? So I kept the Tenshojin, is there any problem with that?"

It really depends on what you say. The three officials looked at each other. It was the first time they looked at the issue of protecting the people from this perspective.

“But no matter what kind of heavenly gold it is, it must be collected by the king of Amotia before it can be handed over to the Celestial Dragons.” The irritable official roared.

"Yes, the question is, did anyone from the royal family die? The revolutionary army didn't even break into the walls of the royal city, and I stopped them outside, right? I even captured a cadre of the revolutionary army."

Several officials began to scratch their heads, and it sounded like there was really no problem.

Zhan Guo and He's eyes brightened up. What they said was right. As for the result, there was no problem.

"However, many of Amotia's guards were killed or wounded, and General Karubaya was seriously injured."

Xia Zheteng scratched his head and said innocently: "Karubaya, he is the general of Amotia, and the guards are also the guards of Amotia. They were injured to protect the Amotia Alliance. What does this have to do with our navy?"

As he spoke, Xia Zheteng's eyes were red, and he continued, "Take our navy as an example. We have been fighting pirates for many years, with countless casualties, and sometimes even the entire fleet was killed. At this time, did Amotia give us a penny? No, because the navy was injured, what does it have to do with them? Now it's the same, they are injured, what does it have to do with the navy?"

Hmm, that seems to make sense.

Chapter 147 The Right Way to Sky Island

Seeing that the other party was silent, Xia Zheteng continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, I won the battle this time, right? I won, and you still say that I didn't do my best? Then how can I do my best? Must all the navy members die and the battle be lost for it to count?"

The three managers were also helpless. When it came to fighting, they couldn't beat Xia Zheteng, and when it came to talking, they were even dumber.

The problem is that I really can't find any fault with Xia Zheteng.

Everything depends on the outcome.

If they were defeated in this battle, there would be countless casualties among the royal family of Amotia.

The navy, on the other hand, is fine, and they can punish them in any way they want.

But we have won the battle, what else can you say? Thinking about it this way, King Bradis was indeed a bit too much.

The three stewards had no choice but to stand up, say goodbye, and then go back to report.

Watching them leave, Xia Zheteng shrugged and said, "Alas, next time, don't let me go for Amoti's support. Good intentions don't go unrewarded!"

"Okay, stop being so naive. How could I not know what you are thinking?" Zhan Guo stopped Xia Zheteng from talking in time, and then said, "But this time, you didn't go too far. At least you made sense wherever you said."

Xia Zheteng didn't care. He just responded with a smile, and then indicated that he had to reward his people more this time, and do it with great fanfare to let everyone know that the navy had won the battle.

Zhan Guo responded with something and asked them to leave.

After Xia Zheteng and his companions left, Zhan Guo finally started to laugh. He didn't have to worry about this rare matter.

"Don't let him go to support the Revolutionary Army in the battle against the Kingdom in the future. It's okay once or twice, but if he does this every time, something bad will happen." He reminded.

Zhan Guo also came to his senses and said that what he said was true. In the future, Xia Zheteng really couldn't be allowed to cause trouble.

At this time, Xia Zheteng had already returned to his residence at the headquarters.

Not to mention, this war earned me more than 43000 excitement points, plus the remaining ones from before, a total of excitement points.

The Sand-Sand Fruit that was promised to Tiger can actually be made, but Xia Zheteng has no intention of giving it to him now.

Because it suddenly occurred to him that something would happen later and he could go and watch the fun.

The problem is that this time, the excitement is dangerous to watch, so it is necessary to strengthen your own strength. Moreover, by returning to this lively place, you can also get some of the things you want.

"Add Overlord Color."

Three colors of domineering: Domineering color 70000 (actual damage level), can use domineering color to cause actual damage.

At the current point in time, only Red Hair could do it. Later on the white ship, that domineering look looked quite pretentious.

That's it. If the Conqueror's Haki is used properly, it can effectively prevent the Observation Haki and can also be applied in other aspects.

The excitement level has dropped again, but Xia Zheteng said he is not panicked at all because he is about to go and watch the fun.

Wait a few days.

The commendations have come, but people like Xia Zheteng and Stoloberg can only accumulate merits for now, after all, they are already lieutenant generals.

Smoker and Tina both mentioned the Colonel.

Xia Zheteng thought that Smoker, this problem child, would probably be exiled to Gro Town soon.

Come on, this is irrelevant.

Xia Zheteng boarded his own boat and left Marinford.

First we arrived at the Sabaody Islands, where Xia Qi was blackmailed.

Last time I said I wanted to have a drink, but I was called away.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Rayleigh was here too.

"That's great. I came here to see you, Rayleigh." Xia Zheteng was very happy.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Rayleigh looked at Xia Zheteng, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, you've become a lieutenant general."

"It doesn't matter. For me, the rank of Lieutenant General has reached its limit. There is no point in getting promoted any further."

"Haha, well, it seems like you and Garp have similar ideas. In order to maintain your freedom at sea, you chose to stay in this class."

"Let's not talk about this for now. I came here to ask, how do I get to Sky Island?"

Rayleigh paused, looked at Xia Zheteng, and said, "You are going to Sky Island."

"We just went to see the excitement. I remember that the Pirate King Roger went to Sky Island. How did you get there? Did you ride the ocean current directly, or did you use some other method?"

Xia Zheteng remembered that there were two ways to fly to the sky island.

One route is the surging ocean current. If you ride the waves to rise, either 100% of the people will go up, or everyone will die.

The probability of this life and death reversal is more accurate than a paternity test.

Xia Zheteng didn't want to take too big a risk. He might not die if he fell from an altitude of 10,000 meters, but there was no need to take the risk.

As for the other route, Ganfor later said, the mortality rate was very high. Out of 100 people, only a few could finally arrive.

Bellamy later might have taken the same route, because he had been to Sky Island and, of course, lost all his companions.

This means that the other path is also dangerous.

Xia Zheteng believed that Roger had taken another route at the beginning, because his ship was full of elite members, so the other route was more suitable.

Ask Rayleigh, this is the reason.

"I see, you want to go to Sky Island. If that's the case, then you have to start from the top of the West Heaven."

"The Top of the Western Heaven. Hearing this name, it feels like it should be on the West Sea, right?"

"Yes."

"That's not right. I've been in the West Sea for many years. How come I didn't know there was such a place?"

Rayleigh laughed and said, "Are you sure you know every place in the West Sea?"

Xia Zheteng was stunned for a moment, and then recalled carefully, he was sure that he was very familiar with the West Sea.

When I was the governor of the West Sea, I had read the nautical charts countless times. If I didn't have this confidence, how could I dare to build my new country in the West Sea?

But is there anything missing?

If this peak of the Western Paradise could really lead to a sky island, it should be very well-known, but there is no such legend in the West Sea.

The people of Xihai don’t know there is such a place, so there is only one possibility.

This so-called top of the Western Paradise is hidden somewhere, and people dare not enter.

Wait, when he thought of this, Xia Zheteng felt his eyes light up and said, "No way, the Countercurrent Reef area."

Rayleigh didn't say anything, just took a sip of wine, and then said: "That road is not easy to walk, but if you go alone, you still have a chance."

Xia Zheteng nodded and said, "Thank you very much. You are worthy of being the vice-captain of the Pirate King. You are really generous."

Rayleigh shook his head and said, "It's not easy to get in there. There are some things guarding it."

Xia Zheteng thought about it. Don't mention it. The West Sea gangs have been fighting for so many years, but no one has set their sights on the Niliu Reef area. What is guarding there? Xia Zheteng said that he was quite interested.

Chapter 148: Countercurrent Reef

Xia Zheteng did not ask Rayleigh to tell him who was guarding the Top of the West. It would be more interesting for him to investigate this matter himself.

I also took the opportunity to ask Xia Qi about what has happened at sea recently.

In recent times, Shanks has become very famous. Although he has no arms, his strength has increased and he has begun to challenge the throne.

This was something Xia Zheteng had not expected.

After thinking for a long time, this guy still wants to follow the path of the Four Emperors.

But thinking back on it, it’s normal.

Hawkeye Mihawk is a one-man group. Although he is very strong, he has no ambitions at the moment and just wants to improve his swordsmanship.

But Shanks is different, and the fighting power of the entire group is not weak. It would be strange if that guy didn’t have a firm goal.
