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

The bear followed him silently.

"They seem to be extraordinary, a group of guys with great potential."

Xia Le smiled and said, "Well, Lucci and his team were previously the CP9 team of the World Government!"

Xiong was startled and paused.

After a long while, he finally caught up and said with emotion.

"You are so bold!"

Xia Le smiled slightly: "When I hire people, I never care about their background. As long as they do not violate my bottom line, I will boldly train them."

The bear fell silent.

After a long moment, he let out a sigh.

In the whole world, Xia Le is probably the only one who is so bold.

He recruited pirates as his subordinates and worked with him as a warlord to recruit and train the team that the World Government wanted to wipe out.

Any one of these is enough to violate the very foundation of being a navy.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the next day.

Crocodile, Rocinante, Buggy, Smoker, Kuina and others stood in a row, wearing neat white navy uniforms, looking straight ahead without looking to the side.

Xia Le smiled, looked at everyone, and laughed slowly.

"A few days ago, I submitted a letter to the headquarters regarding the adjustment of your military rank."

“Now, the documents have been received.”

Upon hearing this, Crocodile's expression remained unchanged, Rosinante looked surprised, Smoker was a little surprised, and the others had different expressions.

"Is it because of the coming war?"

Smoker said in a deep voice.

"good."

"A great war is imminent, and the Navy Headquarters needs a group of powerful elites to win the war."

"And your strength is more than enough."

Xia Le smiled and nodded.

Then, his eyes turned to Crocodile.

"Crocodile, for his long undercover mission and his contributions to the Navy, he is awarded the rank of Lieutenant General."

Crocodile was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and saluted solemnly.

His naval career can be described as tortuous and bizarre, from pirate to navy, and then back to pirate, spanning a period of twenty years.

Now, life has finally reached a new stage.

The vice admiral is already the backbone of the naval headquarters.

And under the premise that Xia Le is about to serve as the next naval marshal, his future reuse can be said to be a foregone conclusion.

"Rosinante, promoted to Lieutenant General!"

Xia Le looked at Rosinante and said with a smile.

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Commander Xia Le!"

Rosinante said excitedly.

"Baki, because of your growing strength, I am granting you the rank of Lieutenant General!"

Xia Le said again.

"I'm also a lieutenant general!"

Bucky was a little surprised, but also very happy.

"Smoker, Lieutenant General!"

Xia Le announced them one by one.

"Kuina, serve as the lieutenant general of the headquarters!"

"Fisher Tiger, assume the position of major general of this headquarters!"

He listed the positions of several people in front of him in one breath, and then personally changed their epaulettes. A smile appeared on Xia Le's face.

Undoubtedly, this group of people in front of him will be his most powerful helpers when he takes charge of the navy in the future.

Similarly, it can also be said that they are the most trustworthy subordinates that he has trained himself.

After the mutual salutes, the simple awarding ceremony was declared over.

"Also, Crocodile."

Xia Le seemed to remember something and spoke again.

"Ok?"

Crocodile waited quietly.

"I have also adjusted the ranks of Daz Bonis, Rob Lucci and others according to their respective strengths."

"You will confer titles on them later!"

Xia Le said with a smile.

"understand!"

Crocodile nodded.

Then, as if he remembered something, he suddenly mentioned it.

"Barrett, he should be here soon!"

Hearing this, Xia Le narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed: "Really? This is a good thing!"

"It's a good thing indeed!"

Crocodile also laughed.

Many years ago, when they were still young, the two were already known as Xia Le's right-hand men and did many important things for him.

Similarly, Barrett's arrival at the headquarters also means the arrival of a powerful fighting force.

Xia Le is very confident in the strength of his right-hand men, as they both possess power that rivals that of a general.

"Also, I have to take some time to visit Sky Island!"

We have allowed Vegapunk to develop for many years, and we don't know what stage his experiment has reached.

He knew very well that over the years, Xihai's support for Vegapunk Laboratory had never diminished.

In other words, Vegapunk has no shortage of resources at all.

The other party even recruited a group of experimental personnel and security personnel on the sky island to establish a mysterious scientific research army.

Another day passed, and Xia Le and Xiong boarded the Sander and left Marinford again.

As for Crocodile and others, due to changes in military ranks and promotions, they have become important combat forces of the headquarters and need to participate in the increasingly frequent combat meetings held by the Warring States in recent times.

At the same time, they were given different responsibilities by the Warring States Period and were busy with their own work.

Two days later, the Sounder sailed into a vast sea covered with white fog.

The gloomy, decadent and dark atmosphere shrouds the place, making people feel a little creepy.

"The Devil's Triangle."

“This is my first time here!”

Xia Le said with a chuckle.

The bear stood behind him, staring ahead quietly.

"I heard that Moria was defeated in the battle with Kaido in the New World and was deeply shocked. He has since fallen and is hiding here, living his fantasy life."

"What a complete loser!"

Xia Le shook his head and sighed.

"There are many people like Moria. He is lucky."

The bear said.

"That's true. As pirates, the fate of most people is to be buried at the bottom of the sea."

"Failure means death!"

"Moria is lucky to be alive."

"but."

After a pause, Xia Le showed a smile.

"With his talent, gift, and fruit ability, he should have become the strongest person in this world!"

"Now, I live like a waste."

Xiong was startled when he heard this and looked confused.

Xia Le did not explain, but just smiled faintly and looked forward.

Moriah's fruit ability has infinite possibilities. He was able to travel to the New World when he was young and fight against Kaido in Wano Country. His strength must be extraordinary.

But now, he can't even defeat the Straw Hat Pirates and has become a shame for the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Finally, at the Battle of Marineford, he was tricked by Doflamingo.

Two years later, he was captured by Blackbeard again.

It can be said that this guy's life should have been heading towards the peak and glory, but it ended up in a tragedy.

Moments later, the Sander reached the Terror Bark.

"Let's go check out this Shichibukai!"

Xia Le smiled lightly.

Then, lightning flashed on his body and shot forward.

The lightning gathered a thousand meters away and formed a body. Xia Le's whole body was flashing with lightning and a smile appeared on his face.

In front of him, he saw a row of scary-looking zombies, looking at him with fear.

The leading man had long pink hair, a wine bottle in his hand, a rapier on his waist, and his body was shaking slightly.

"Hey, Captain John, that guy can use thunder and lightning!"

The zombie behind him trembled in fear.

When people are alive, they cannot withstand the power of thunder and lightning, let alone becoming zombies.

As Moria controls zombies, they have two major weaknesses: salt, sea, sunlight, and lightning.

This extremely masculine and powerful force will destroy their bodies in an instant.

"I saw!"

"This guy might have the strongest nature-type Thunder Fruit!"

Captain John said solemnly, and his figure couldn't help but step back.

He didn't want to die here for no apparent reason.

Oh, no, he had died a long time ago.

Xia Le stood there, not caring about this group of zombies. He glanced at them a few times and thought that the pirate holding the wine bottle was a little special, so he said lightly.

"Where is Moriah?"

Captain John took a deep breath and was about to speak.

On one side, another figure appeared.

"What do you want to do with the master?"

The voice came, sounding somewhat pleasant, but it was a loli girl with twin ponytails, a crown on her head, and a burgundy umbrella in her hand.
