Smoker said with a smile.

Having said that, he narrowed his eyes again, and there seemed to be a hint of apology in his words.

"Lieutenant General Stirles is a decent man, but his words may offend you."

"However, now that many of the navy's combat forces have been dispatched, we cannot be too impolite when welcoming you all. We don't have much choice."

Hearing this, Vinsmoke and his companions actually felt flattered, especially the youngest son Yongzhi, whose face showed excitement and joy.

The attitude of the lieutenant general just now made them extremely angry.

On the other hand, this lieutenant general, who is almost certain to become a general in the future, is humble and polite to others and seems very easy to get along with.

"Outbound assignment?"

However, Jiazhi was keenly aware of these two words and showed confusion in his eyes.

Now is the critical period of the war with the Four Emperors, will the Navy send troops abroad? Then what is the purpose of sending these troops abroad?

But Smoker did not answer him, because soon everyone climbed up to the third-floor attic and saw a wide area in front of them.

There are rockery, flowing water, and curling green smoke. The scenery from the three-story attic is refreshing, and the fragrance floating in the air is refreshing.

Jiazhi instantly fixed his eyes on the young man sitting cross-legged in front of him in front of the tea tray.

It was a young and strange face, just like the one in the photo in the newspaper.

From the time Xia Le's fame spread throughout the world to now, nearly twenty years have passed, right?

The man should be between 40 and 50 years old, of the same generation as the three generals, but his face looks too young.

"sit!"

"Mr. Vinsmoke Judge, I am really surprised and delighted to see you in Wano Country!"

Xia Le smiled and gestured to the seat in front of him with his right hand.

All of a sudden, the five Vinsmoke men were startled and even a little nervous for a moment.

This was an invitation from the world's most invincible man. They looked at the tea table in front of them. There were exactly five seats, no more, no less.

"Marshal Xia Le!"

Taking a deep breath, Judge stepped forward and called out in a deep voice.

Chapter 394 The Era of Great Change

"sit!"

Xia Le said with a smile.

Although the tone was soft and gentle, Vinsmoke Judge would not relax because of this. His expression was serious and solemn, and he felt tremendous pressure in his heart.

Who is sitting in front of you?

He was once known as a legend of the navy. Before the Great Pirate Era, he personally captured two legendary figures, Pirate King Roger and Shiki the Golden Lion. After his comeback not long ago, he started the Battle of Marineford and put the last remaining legendary figure, Whitebeard, into prison.

It can be said that this man single-handedly ruined an era.

He is the pinnacle of this era. No one strong can stand above him and show off his power.

Facing such an invincible strong man, how could Vinsmoke Judge not feel guilty, uneasy and restrained.

After taking a deep breath, Jiazhi slowly sat down. His four children also sat beside him one by one, all of them looking extremely cautious and careful.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and Vinsmoke Judge didn't know what to say.

When he was on the road, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but the moment he saw the other person, his brain went blank.

Perhaps, facing such a strong person, flattery, no matter how hypocritical, is useless.

"I can only rely on sincerity and express to him the purpose and decision of my visit."

Taking a deep breath, with determination in his eyes, Jiazhi prepared to speak.

But at this moment, Xia Le picked up the teapot on the table with his right hand, added tea to the five cups on the table, and smiled casually.

"I already know the purpose of Mr. Jiazhi's visit."

"On behalf of the Navy, I would like to thank the Vinsmoke family for providing such timely assistance."

Hearing this, Judge was stunned for a moment, then his expression softened a little: "This is the decision made by our Vinsmoke family in the face of the uncertain future!"

The smile on Xia Le's face grew wider, and he pushed five cups of tea in front of the five people.

"Thank you!"

Reiju, Yuji and the others were a little flattered.

This is the tea that the world's invincible man personally poured for them.

But this also made them feel a little relaxed, because it meant that Marshal Xia Le seemed to have no ill will towards them.

“Right decision.”

Xia Le chuckled.

After saying this, he changed the subject again.

"Although you came a little late, this decision has, in a way, determined the fate of the Vinsmoke family."

destiny?!

These two heavy words immediately made Jiazhi and others change their expressions slightly.

"Please issue the combat order against Onigashima. The Vinsmoke family is coming out in full force this time, and will definitely share the fate of the navy!"

Jiazhi gritted his teeth.

He felt a little nervous, wondering why the other party said the word "fate".

"Haha, Mr. Judge, there's no need to be nervous."

"Please have some tea! When I knew the Vinsmoke family was coming, I had already prepared this pot of tea for you personally."

"The famous new tea of ​​the Flower Capital of the Country of Wano, I have tasted it, it is fragrant, mellow in the mouth, and has a very good texture."

"Even in the world, it is one of the few good teas."

Xia Le said with a smile.

The five people looked at each other, wondering what the admiral was up to and why he suddenly brought the topic to tea.

But they didn't dare to say anything more, so they could only pick up the teacup and take a sip.

The tea soup was clear, at just the right temperature, and had a long-lasting fragrance that made all five people's eyes light up.

It is true that good tea is hard to come by, but at the same time they were also certain of one thing, that is, the other party was really talking about tea.

"How about it?"

Xia Le asked with a smile.

“Good tea!”

Vinsmoke Judge said in a deep voice.

He was a rough man, and he was good at chopping people, but it was too difficult for him to find any words to evaluate the tea.

"From what I understand, Vinsmoke seems to have a child left behind?"

Suddenly, Xia Le mentioned it casually.

But this simple sentence made everyone present change their expression.

Jiazhi's whole body tensed up and he was shocked.

The other party actually knew this matter clearly. From this point, we can see Xia Le's understanding of the Vinsmoke clan.

"It's Sanji, he's father's third son and my younger brother!"

Reiju bit her lip and replied quickly.

Faced with the questions from the world's number one person, they could not remain silent, as this would undoubtedly be an impolite act.

"Vinsmoke Sanji?"

"I know him, the chef of the Straw Hat Gang. How much is his bounty now?"

Xia Le said with a smile.

"The bounty is 77 million!"

"He's the chef of the Straw Hat Pirates and also serves as a combatant."

Smoker's voice came from a distance.

"Yes! Seventy-seven million!"

"At this age, you have been offered such a reward. Your children are really outstanding!"

"Mr. Judge."

Xia Le said in admiration.

Judge's expression changed again: "You are too kind, Sanji, Sanji."

Having said this, he stopped talking. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether the Marshal was truly praising him or had some other intention.

Such a world's strongest man, a high-ranking naval marshal, has huge implications in every word and action, which makes it impossible not to think too much.

"When Sanji was eight years old, he was lost from us in a shipwreck."

"It was not until today that the Vinsmoke family received any news about him."

At this time, Reiju spoke again.

Xia Le nodded: "Really?"

"Come to think of it, I met him a few more times."

"He's a very polite boy."

This seemingly casual remark made Judge speak immediately: "We are trying to find out about Sanji and are preparing to take him back to the family."

Xia Le laughed in silence: "Then congratulations in advance to Mr. Jiazhi, you two are reunited as father and son."

"If Marshal Xia Le likes it, I can also send him to the navy."

Jiazhi then continued.

Xia Le was completely speechless.

The third son of Vinsmoke is really not loved. He was abandoned at the age of 8. According to the original plot, he would be used for marriage when he grew up. Even if he changed everything, he would still be given away as a gift by his father.

"Father means that if Sanji can work under Marshal Xia Le, he will be lucky."

Reiju seemed to notice Xia Le's change in mood and quickly added.

"hehe!"

Xia Le laughed, then picked up the tea and took a sip.

"The Navy is grateful for Vinsmoke's support."

He suddenly got to the point, causing the five people to become serious and listen carefully.

"But there is really no place for you to help in this war."

Hearing this, a hint of nervousness appeared on Jiazhi's face.

What does this mean?

Xia Le hates them? The Navy looks down on them?

"Don't misunderstand, Mr. Judge."

A light laugh was heard, causing Judge to look up suddenly.

"The war is over."

"Onigashima sank, Kaido gave and received, Big Mom was captured, including Red Hair Shanks, Blackbeard Marshall Teach, and people like Sartan, one of the Five Elders, and the Knights of God."

"At this moment, I am in the prison of Wano Country."
