Another day passed and a message came from the headquarters.

"There is an important task for you to perform!"

Marshal Kong spoke with a serious tone.

"Important mission?"

Xia Le asked doubtfully.

"I was originally going to give it to Sakaski, but he had something urgent to do. After I talked with Zhan Guo, I judged that your strength is undoubtedly more suitable for the forces on your ship."

Sora said in a deep voice.

From the other party's tone and words, Xia Le could tell that this task might be really important.

"So, you need to meet up with Sakaski and hand over the precious items he is carrying."

"Finally, transport it to the island of Egghead and hand it over to Vegapunk personally."

After listening to the task carefully, Xia Le fell silent.

After a moment, his eyes flickered.

"Marshal Kong!"

"I am happy to accept this task."

Chapter 47: Title and Admonition

As for the details and background of this mission, Kong seemed unwilling to explain it to him.

I just reminded him many times of the importance of the task and asked him to complete it without any mistakes.

This made Xia Le, who hung up the Den Den Mushi, have many guesses in his mind and became even more curious.

"Also, please remember that nothing about Eghede can be leaked!"

"This is an order, you must strictly follow it, Xia Le!"

Even at the end, Sora gave a serious warning.

This shows how much importance the Navy Headquarters attaches to this mission.

First, they sent a strong and young navy, perhaps because they did not want to attract the world's attention. Second, they kept the information of the target island strictly confidential, which also showed that everything on the island might be extremely important to the navy.

Moments after receiving the mission, Adjutant T. Peng En received news from headquarters.

"Major General Sakaski is heading towards us."

"Let us wait here."

Upon hearing this, Xia Le nodded slightly.

Then he looked at the group of trainee sailors on the ship with a smile on his face.

Of course he heard the conversation between these guys yesterday.

"Evans."

After a casual shout, Xia Le looked down at the seven epaulettes in his hand.

"To!"

Evans responded quickly.

"Gather everyone on board."

Xia Le said.

"Yes, sir!"

Evans saluted and quickly notified everyone.

But in a moment, Ivens, Rossinandi, Yagyubei, Slo, Mina, Kira, and Crocodile all came in front of him, standing in a neat row with their heads held high.

There was confusion in everyone's eyes, not understanding the purpose of suddenly summoning them.

After Xia Le glanced around, a smile appeared on his face.

"I heard everything you said yesterday!"

After a pause, when he saw the excitement and excitement in everyone's eyes, he smiled again.

"In view of the outstanding performance of the seven of you in recent combat as marines, I am reporting this to headquarters and offering my opinion."

"Finally, the headquarters asked for my opinion and evaluation of each of you."

"I agree to this awarding of titles!"

After all, he was not yet a lieutenant general, nor was he a veteran with a high degree of freedom like Cap. Therefore, the promotion of the rank of the soldiers under his command also needed to be reported.

"From today on, you will become a qualified and formal naval officer!"

Xia Le restrained his smile and spoke in a deep voice.

"officer?"

"Not a soldier?"

Rosinante asked doubtfully.

In response to his question, Xia Le did not explain but shouted loudly.

"Evans!"

The latter immediately stood up straight and responded loudly: "Here!"

"I will award you the rank of lieutenant today. From now on, you are a naval officer!"

"I hope that in your future life, you will strictly abide by the justice in your heart and realize your ideals!"

Xia Le shouted loudly.

Evans was stunned and nodded solemnly: "Yes! Sir!"

Then, Xia Le stepped forward, put on the military rank for him, and straightened out the wrinkled clothes.

"Don't let the gun in your hand lose its direction. You should know clearly who it should be pointed at."

Evans was shocked and then saluted.

"Rosinandee!"

Xia Le walked to one side.

"To!"

Rosinante said excitedly.

"You are commissioned as a second lieutenant."

"As your superior, I solemnly warn you."

"The dreams in your heart and the morality you insist on both need to be supported by strong military force."

“So, you should understand one thing better.”

"Your fists will determine your life!"

"So, you must work hard to become stronger, brat!"

Xia Le stared at the tall but young and innocent face in front of him, recalling the other person's future outcome, and couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.

These words made Rossinanti blink, and then he suddenly shouted loudly.

"Yes, sir!"

"I will definitely work hard, work hard, and work hard to become stronger!!"

"Strive to be as strong as your fist!"

Xia Le smiled when he heard that, clenched his fist and punched the other person in the chest. The latter grimaced in pain, but couldn't help laughing out of joy.

After that, Yagyubei, Mina, Kira, Slo and others were all awarded the rank of lieutenant.

He personally conferred titles on several people and left his own words of warning to remind them of the future path, what to insist on and what to protect.

The last person was Crocodile, who stood upright.

At this moment, the sand crocodile's body was tense, with a serious and nervous look, but he couldn't hide the restrained joy in his eyes. He was young, and his left hand was intact, not a golden hook.

"Crocodale!"

Xia Le chuckled softly.

"To!"

Crocodile said loudly.

"On behalf of the Navy Headquarters, I personally confer upon you the rank of Lieutenant."

Xia Le smiled.

Then, he carefully and slowly put on the epaulettes for the other person.

“Everyone has a past and memories.”

"Maybe it's beautiful, maybe it's cruel, maybe it's sad."

“But we should always live in the present and aspire for a brighter future.”

He used both hands to straighten the other person's collar and looked at Lao Sha, whose aura was completely different from before, and spoke softly.

"You can pursue the past, but it's only the past!"

"Your today and tomorrow will be written by you!"

"You should know clearly in your heart which one you want to be!"

Crocodile was stunned. The fragments of memory in his mind flashed quickly in a trance, and finally passed by and froze into a young face that was smiling and staring at him.

The inauguration ceremony was short and simple. The only difference was that there were seven fewer trainees and seven more lieutenants on Xia Le's warship.

Perhaps a lieutenant is the lowest level in the navy's rank system, but he has truly embarked on the path of an officer, representing recognition from the headquarters.

On this day, everyone on the boat told each other about their excitement and looked forward to a bright future.

In a blink of an eye, a night passed and the next day came.

Sakaski's warship arrived at noon.

Xia Le stood at the front with his arms folded, followed by T. Penn, Crocodile and others.

Everyone stood straight, looking forward. Even though they were pirates not long ago, their aura had changed after becoming marines.

Ahead, a warship slowly approached.

Standing at the bow was a burly man in a white shirt, with a knife on his back and a navy cap on his head. His expression was serious, the light in his eyes was cold, and he had an invisible iron-blooded majesty.

It was Sakaski.

"Xia Le!"

Soon, the warship stopped ten meters away from Xia Le. Sakaski stared at the man in front of him and spoke in a cold voice.

"Sakaski!"

Xia Le also replied indifferently.

He had no friendship with this guy. When they first met two years ago, he stunned him with his domineering look. It could be said that their favorability was definitely negative.

"You don't seem to have changed in more than two years."

Sakaski said coldly.

"Oh, no, there are some changes."

His gaze was as sharp as a knife. He looked past Xia Le and at Evans and others behind him, with a sneer and disdain on his face.
