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

Chapter 161: Former Subordinates

The awakening of Kozuki Oden undoubtedly added a powerful force to Xia Le's group.

What is more noteworthy is that he is able to enforce orders, while also possessing human consciousness and functions, and can be described as a semi-artificial human.

In Vegapunk's eyes, he is the perfect transformer.

"Codename: Warrior!"

"From today on, you will live again in this world as the chief swordsmanship instructor of the West Sea Navy."

Xia Le announced Kozuki Oden's new identity with a smile.

"The Navy?"

Muttering, for Kozuki Oden, who once lived as a pirate, this was undoubtedly a new experience.

"Also, Kaido!"

When he said this, his eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent.

Having escaped the brink of death and undergone transformation to live again in this world, he is no longer the same Kozuki Oden!

"Now is not the time!"

"Your son and daughter are safe and have been sent to the future!"

"When the time comes, you will meet them."

Xia Le said softly.

"Tian Yue Shi!"

Kozuki Oden muttered, obviously well aware of his wife's abilities.

Then he looked at the man in front of him with a serious look.

"What you are going to do is even crazier than Roger's. It's unbelievable!"

"Can we really succeed? Just by us?"

Xia Le smiled slightly: "Maybe it's just a spark now."

"But Oden, you have to know that a spark can start a prairie fire!"

Kozuki Oden was stunned, silently savoring the other party's words, and couldn't help feeling a sense of awe in his heart.

Roger used to be a man worth following and had great personal charm. The young man in front of him was no less than Roger.

What he wanted to do was even more shocking.

He originally thought that the world-shaking words were just a joke, but after the two talked for a while, he realized that the other party was serious.

A blank hundred years, once twenty kings, a huge kingdom.

All kinds of mysteries, overthrowing the corrupt system and founding the country of Wano, every point in his words seemed to be able to ignite him.

"Change this world and overthrow darkness and corruption!"

“What a lofty ideal!”

Kozuki Oden sighed in his heart.

“If we can really do something like this.”

His eyes were burning.

Afterwards, the two returned to the West Sea together.

Kozuki Oden serves as the chief swordsmanship instructor at the Naval Academy, while Barrett is the chief taijutsu instructor, but he is not in Alabasta at the moment as he is on a business trip.

Xia Le sat back in the office, feeling very emotional.

"Finally, I have another general under my command!"

Barrett, Crocodile, and Kozuki Oden.

The power of these three people is equivalent to that of three generals, and they are also the most powerful under his command.

Thinking silently, Xia Le began to make a simple summary of his own forces.

"The three of them can barely fight against the general level."

"Smoker, Buggy, and Arosh have also mastered the basics of Armament Haki."

"Plus the Pacifist and the Seraph series."

If they attack with all their strength, it will be a force that cannot be ignored.

But to the whole world, it is still hidden in the dark.

"I am also considered an emperor in the navy, right?"

Xia Le smiled faintly.

He is not proud because it is still far from the perfect configuration in his mind.

At the very least, there must be five martial gods like the Five Elder Stars, plus organizations such as the Knights of God and CP0, to be relatively complete.

By then, we will have the power to compete openly with the World Government.

Time continues to pass.

This year, in the Seven Waters City, Tom Studio's sea train was completed, ushering in a new era of navigation.

In the same year, when Fishman Tom was being taken to Judicial Island to be executed, he was rescued by a group of vicious pirates and disappeared from then on.

Not long after this incident, the World Government, feeling the turmoil of the Great Pirate Era, secretly began to discuss the Takekai Project proposed during last year's World Conference.

The times are like a rolling wheel, moving forward slowly but unstoppably.

Xia Le has been in Xihai all the time. He works diligently and never gets tired.

Ten years have passed since he came here, and the Xihai branch under his command has changed a lot.

The entire system has electrical energy supply, countless spacecraft and warships, and nearly twenty shipyards.

A naval academy, two chief instructors, and erudite O'Hara scholars as teachers.

Every year, elite cadets graduate and become the new blood of the navy.

Compared with the Xihai branch ten years ago, the army he led was already many times stronger.

In the entire West Sea, the total number of naval forces has exceeded 500,000.

The elite troops at the West Sea Headquarters Base alone numbered 50,000.

Of course, such an achievement naturally consumed a lot of financial, material and human resources. Fortunately, there was the gold from Sky Island, otherwise Xia Le would not be able to support such a large army.

Before he knew it, he had become the largest and most powerful warlord within the navy.

The year passed quickly and it was the year 1511 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Xia Le lamented how quickly time passed, but every time he looked in the mirror, he felt a little confused.

Because his appearance and physical condition have hardly changed in these eleven years and have always been in peak condition.

Moreover, as time goes by, the daily practice tends to become even stronger.

On this day, a communication suddenly came from the headquarters.

After Eveya answered the call, her expression quickly became serious and solemn.

"It's the Warring States General!"

Xia Le raised his eyebrows slightly and took the Den Den Mushi.

"General Zhan Guo, we haven't contacted each other for a long time. What advice do you have this time?"

There was a smile in his words.

Not long ago in Marijoa, the relationship between the two sides had eased somewhat. Although the West Sea branch still had little contact with the headquarters, the two sides were able to talk to each other.

"There is something that may require your help."

Zhan Guo said in a deep voice.

Xia Le narrowed his eyes slightly. From the other party's tone, he could tell that the general seemed to be in a bad mood at the moment.

"Oh? As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be anything I can help with at this headquarters!"

"If it's pirates from the West Sea, I can help capture them."

Zhan Guo snorted coldly: "Don't joke with me, Xia Le!"

"What if the matter I'm talking about involves one of your former subordinates?"

Hearing this, Xia Le was stunned. He was confused at first, and then a young man's face appeared in his mind like lightning.

"You mean."

"Rosinandee?"

Zhan Guo nodded: "Not bad!"

"He was once assigned by me to carry out an undercover mission secretly."

"But in recent days, we have lost contact for a long time!"

After a pause, he spoke again in a serious tone.

"My informant has learned that he should be on Mignon Island in the North Sea right now."

"Also, it seems that a precious devil fruit is involved."

At this point, there seemed to be doubt and confusion in Zhan Guo's words.

"You want him to be an undercover agent, so I think you're targeting his brother, Doflamingo, right?"

Xia Le smiled lightly.

"Not bad!"

Sengoku nodded.

"Doflamingo's identity is special, you should know that, so we can only understand his movements through surveillance."

"only!"

"This time, I am a little worried about Rosinante's safety."

Sighed softly.

"After thinking for a long time, I think you are the most suitable person for this task."

Xia Le laughed twice: "Back then, you transferred him away from me without saying a word."

"Now, you want me to clean up this mess?"

The Warring States Period was silent.

He heard the sound of the other party tapping on the table through the Den Den Mushi, and he knew that Xia Le was thinking.

After a moment, the knocking stopped.

"Beihai, I can go there."

"That kid still owes me an apology."

"But after this time, he no longer belongs to you."

Zhan Guo let out a long breath, and his expression eased a little: "Okay!"

"Then it's up to you!"

Xia Le snorted coldly and hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Then he sat in the chair for a long time.

"Doflamingo?"

"Just look at how far you have come now!"

"Are you qualified enough to be one of the seeds?"

Xia Le slowly stood up and walked towards the door.
