Pirates: I will first max out the domineering color if I am not dead

"who is it?"

Kaido turned his head.

He had the same feeling, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

Jin silently handed over a newspaper, on the center of which was a photo of Xia Le smiling, carrying the rank of lieutenant general, and speaking to the whole world.

"It's him!!!"

Kaido's pupils suddenly contracted and his heart was shocked.

But soon, he shook his head violently.

"No, it can't be him!"

"That guy is not that young, and he is taller than the mysterious man."

"Besides, he's not from the Lunaria clan!"

Jin fell silent upon hearing this, with confusion in his eyes.

"Who is it?"

Chapter 138 Fishing

Xihai, headquarters base.

"is it?"

"This is really good news!"

Xia Le smiled and replied softly.

"I am coming over now."

Not long ago, news came from the Vegapunk test base that the Seraph Zeus brought back Kozuki Oden.

This was the first name on Xia Le's paper.

The importance of Kozuki Oden is naturally self-evident. As the most powerful samurai in the contemporary Wano Country, his combat power is unquestionable.

When he was brought on board by Whitebeard, he was once the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and was later borrowed by Roger to assist him in becoming the Pirate King.

After Roger disbanded the pirate group, Kozuki Oden returned to Wano Country, encountered Kaido and his gang, and eventually died in humiliation.

Xia Le currently has no idea about Kaido and his gang in Wano Country.

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

In other words, the existence of Kaido, Big Mama, and the future Four Emperors has a restraining and balancing effect on the World Government.

In such a relatively balanced situation, he can develop quietly.

Whether it is the power under his command, the expansion of the organization, the training of talents, or the technology of Vegapunk, it all takes time to grow and mature.

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

That is, the injuries on Kozuki Oden's body were too severe.

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

There were burns all over his body, and his wrinkled skin reminded him of dead wood.

"Is he still alive?"

Xia Le asked with a frown.

"Only one breath."

"Now I have two options."

"One is to wait until he dies, study his body, extract his bloodline factor, and create a new Seraph."

Vegapunk said quickly.

His eyes were filled with excitement. He never expected that he, the leader, could get two powerful men in such a short time.

The golden lion's bloodline factor brought him new inspiration.

Zeus, who returned not long ago, also has many problems that can be improved later.

"Second, we need to immediately conduct some organizational reforms on him."

"Completely transform him into a more powerful android!"

Xia Le frowned slightly: "After the transformation, is he still conscious?"

"consciousness?"

Vegapunk was stunned when he heard this and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he sounded hesitant.

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

"Do you want a Kozuki Oden with consciousness, or a cyborg who follows orders completely?"

This question made Xia Le blink, but he responded quickly.

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

Machines and androids cannot emit domineering aura. However, in the combat power system of this world, domineering aura is undoubtedly a crucial link.

"I understand!"

"I will try my best!"

Vegapunk nodded.

Xia Le looked around again and saw Zeus lying quietly in the laboratory. His body had been cut open and was obviously going to undergo further transformation.

The body of Golden Lion Shiki was soaked in formalin.

In a further corner, there was a strange fruit with intricate patterns carved on it.

"Is that a devil fruit?"

Xia Le asked in surprise.

"You can say that, but it's not mature. Eating it will only poison you to death."

Vegapunk said without even turning his head.

Xia Le was speechless.

This scientist really surprised him. While studying bloodline factors, he was also able to conduct experiments on artificial devil fruits at the same time.

"Also, there's something else!"

"My lab requires some special materials, which may be difficult to obtain here."

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

Vegapunk said again.

Xia Le narrowed his eyes: "Then you must pay attention to your whereabouts and not be discovered by others."

"rest assured!"

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

"Also, the Shandians you summoned on Sky Island can also be used as the indigenous navy."

"The weapons I improved have greatly increased their combat effectiveness."

Vegapunk said complacently.

Xia Le smiled slightly. He knew that this guy would create a terrifying weapon that could destroy an island in the future.

After that, after staying for a while and understanding the progress of the project, he turned and left.

The transformation of Kozuki Oden will definitely be very complicated and will take a lot of time, and may even surpass Bartholomew Kuma.

But once successful, it will greatly enhance the power under his command.

Time flies by, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Haiyuan calendar year 1505.

Xia Le received a call from his teacher Garp, telling him the good news that he had a grandson, and also mentioned Ace, who was being well taken care of.

It was also in this year that the West Sea headquarters base where he was located was completely completed.

The entire West Sea Base is even more magnificent and majestic than the G-18 Fortress, and it is suspended 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 headquarters."

"Deputy Commander Barrett is giving them rigorous training."

Ivya reported.

"Where are those three guys, Buggy, Smoker, and Aroshu?"

Xia Le asked.

"All three of them have already mastered the Six Styles. Their strength has greatly improved over the past year, and they now possess strength comparable to that of school-level officers."

Ivya replied with a smile.

"Not bad!"

Xia Le nodded.

He was quite satisfied with the speed at which the three men's strength improved.

"Recruitment for our branches in the West Sea is still ongoing, and the headquarters base can accommodate up to 50,000 troops."

“There is still some distance to this goal.”

Ivya said again.

Xia Le nodded slightly and said no more.

Time continues to pass.

The power of the West Sea is getting stronger and stronger, and elite officers at the school level are emerging like mushrooms after rain. After the Golden Lion destroyed the G-18 Fortress, the remaining soldiers' strength increased greatly, and a large number of school-level strongmen emerged.

Haiyuan calendar year 1506.

Xia Le sent a congratulatory letter to Alabasta and presented a generous gift.

"Celebrating the birth of my dear niece, Nefertari Lili."

"I am so busy with my official duties, please forgive me for not being able to join you in this joyous event."

Cobra held the short letter in his hand, tears streaming down his face as he cried with joy.

Xia Le occupied the West Sea. Under his planning and guidance, the power of this sea area developed rapidly.

It was also in this year that the West Sea Headquarters recruited a powerful female navy.

"Her name is Hinata!"

"He is the user of the Kankan Fruit, and he is very powerful."

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

Ivya said excitedly.

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

"Yes!"

Eveyadao.

"Also, where's Crocodile?"

Xia Le narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.

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

"As a pirate, he has gathered a group of intelligence personnel and is now in the second half of the Grand Line."
