Even though Xia Le was still a long distance away from the whirlpool, he soon felt it.

First came the order from the Navy Headquarters.

"We must be on high alert and resolutely put an end to the recent crazy counterattacks by some pirates under Roger's influence."

"In this regard, this department allows Major General Xia Le to be more severe and cruel!"

This order was different from the previous ones, causing Xia Le to narrow his eyes slightly.

Normally, except for a few navy officers like him and Sakaski who use cruel methods, most of the actions against pirates are to capture them as much as possible rather than to kill them directly.

"Do we need to deter the pirates as quickly as possible to prevent greater changes in the world?"

Secondly, in recent days in the second half of the Grand Line, he and T. Peng and others also clearly felt the madness of the pirates.

In just half a month, they encountered ten powerful pirate groups.

Moreover, fierce fighting took place.

It can be said that Roger's achievement of becoming the Pirate King greatly motivated other pirates and made their blood boil. There are countless pirates around the world, or those who have not yet become pirates, who take Roger as their role model.

While Xia Le was busy wandering around and suppressing pirates.

On an unnamed island, under a large cherry tree in full bloom, two figures sat cross-legged facing each other.

"Ku la la la la!"

"Roger, you dare to come to me alone."

The tall man with blond hair and a crescent-shaped mustache above his lips said with a laugh.

"Hahahaha!"

"Newgate, you and I have fought countless battles. Although we are rivals, we can also be considered as a few friends."

Roger laughed as well.

Opposite him, the tall man sitting is none other than Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard, one of the three greatest legends in the world today.

"Tell me, what is the matter with you coming here to see me?"

"A guy like you, who just became the Pirate King, won't come to me for no reason."

Newgate raised the drink in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and said lightly.

Hearing this, Roger's eyes became slightly serious. He stared at the other party and suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

"I reached the final island and found the great treasure, ONE PIECE!"

"I came here to ask you a question."

After a slight pause, Roger's mustache trembled and he suddenly laughed again.

"Newgate!"

"Do you want to know the location of the final island?"

Whitebeard was startled and his eyes narrowed.

As an opponent who has been fighting with Roger for many years, he certainly knows how difficult it is to obtain the location of the final island. But today, the other party actually wants to tell him directly?

But it was only for a moment before he burst into laughter and shook his head.

"not interested!"

Roger was stunned, but then he also burst into laughter.

"That's you, Newgate."

The two men raised their wine bowls again and clinked them together fiercely.

"I'm going to retire soon."

"Before that, in addition to this matter, I have to remind you of one more thing."

Roger seemed to suddenly remember something and said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Newgate smiled and listened.

"There is a young man named Xia Le in the navy."

"If in the future, you reign over this sea area."

"Be careful with him."

Roger's face became slightly serious and he said solemnly.

"Xia Le?!"

Newgate was puzzled. He searched his mind for all the powerful men in the navy but couldn't find the name. Then he sneered.

"It's just a little fellow!"

"You don't need to worry about it!"

Roger shook his head and laughed, saying no more.

After a while, Whitebeard was the only one left in the woods, and no one knew where Roger, who had become the Pirate King, had gone.

After silently drinking the wine in the bowl, White Beard's expression became complicated and filled with emotion.

"After all, there are fewer and fewer old friends in this sea!"

He vaguely sensed something from Roger's arrival.

The other party took decades to reach the top step by step, and reached a place that ordinary people could not reach, but when he reached the top of the mountain, he chose to turn around and leave.

"Let's go."

"Gol D. Roger!"

Murmurs were heard.

A gust of wind swept past, and the cherry blossoms swirled and fell into the wine jar. The figure of Whitebeard in the woods also disappeared.

At the same time, Xia Le, who was in the waters of Etwal, reunited with Kuzan's warship and received a new mission from the headquarters.

"What's wrong? Xia Le? Is this guy causing you trouble?"

Kuzan said with a smile, his eyes couldn't help but look at the bounty in the other party's hand.

On the bounty poster was a young man with a slicked-back hair and a cigar hanging from his mouth, and below it was written his name and the bounty amount.

Crocodile?

"No, I just remembered some things."

Xia Le smiled.

He was indeed a little surprised. He didn't expect to receive news from Crocodile here. And the mission showed that the navy that had clashed with the other side before had failed three times.

And the position where I was located was not far from the other party.

"I haven't seen you for more than two years, and you've been promoted!"

Looking over Kuzan's shoulder, he was also a major general.

"Hahahaha, Xia Le, the three of us have made a lot of progress in the past two years."

"I won't necessarily lose to you now!"

Kuzan laughed.

"is it?"

Xia Le chuckled lightly.

"But I don't have time to spar with you."

As he spoke, he raised the bounty in his hand.

"Still eager to catch this new guy!"

Kuzan nodded in understanding: "Then, we'll see you at headquarters!"

The two warships quickly passed each other. Xia Le looked at each other's backs and felt a little emotional.

Time is passing and everything is changing.

It's not just me who's growing, the others are also improving rapidly. When I met Kuzan for the first time today, I could clearly feel the oppressive force coming from him.

Obviously, in these two years, with the help of the ice fruit, Kuzan's strength has improved greatly.

Then he lowered his head again and looked at the bounty order in his hand.

"Newcomer, Crocodile?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Xia Le already had a new idea in his mind.

The memory of Crocodile is that he is not only very powerful, but also a famous 50-50 player when facing other opponents, no matter how strong they are, except for his failure when facing the protagonist King Luffy.

Similarly, he was quick-witted and a good planner, and in the later Cross Union, he played the role of think tank and steward.

It can be said that it is a good helper for auxiliary play.

With a little training, you will possess the power of a vice-emperor.

"Sir, we have received news from our headquarters that the pirates led by Crocodile are currently on the island of Rion, ten nautical miles northwest of us."

After contacting the headquarters, Mina quickly reported her location.

Xia Le nodded.

"Head to Lean Island!"

Chapter 44 Various Ways to Deal with Natural Systems

Rian Island is an island with a cold climate all year round. It is very small in size and is generally used as a transit station for passing merchants or pirates.

Therefore, various fights often occur on this island.

It was already afternoon when Xia Le and others arrived.

The dazzling sunlight, touching the white snow on the ground, reflects a white world.

The cold wind blew over, causing Rosinante to shrink his neck and rub his hands constantly. Evans and others were busy distributing cotton clothes.

They didn't expect that Lien Island would be so cold.

The warship was docked casually along the coast, and no other pirate ships were seen. Xia Le guessed that Crocodile and others should have landed from another direction.

T Peng En put the cotton coat on him, and Xia Le nodded and thanked him.

Afterwards, the group put on cotton coats and boots, jumped off the warship, and entered the island on the thick snow.

"Shaq Rockdale, bounty of 81 million berries."

"According to the information provided by the previously defeated navy, he is a natural ability user."

"I fought Douglas Barrett last year and the two of us were evenly matched. I became famous because of this."

"The bounty set by the World Government is obviously not consistent with this person's ability."

Evans repeated the information from headquarters and sighed.

A solemn and serious look appeared on the faces of the others.

Those who use natural abilities are almost certainly powerful. The abilities granted to them by the fruit are enough to occupy a place in this world.

The immunity to physical attacks and the power to control various elements are both unimaginable.

Xia Le just chuckled after listening to this information.

After passing through the snow-covered forest, everyone saw the bustling town ahead.

"They have taken over the town, but the villagers are still alive."

"It doesn't seem to be violating the civilians in the town."

Evans said in a deep voice.

At the same time, he saw a simple port in the east of the town, where a pirate ship with a skull flag was docked. Obviously, they found the wrong place to dock the ship, but fortunately it did not affect the result.
