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

Xia Le sighed softly.

He certainly didn't expect that anyone would see that scene. The alley was very narrow, less than one meter wide, and the exit opposite was filled with people kneeling on the ground.

Facing the Celestial Dragons, how many people would dare to raise their heads and look ahead?

But unexpectedly, Crocodile was right there.

"Yes!"

Crocodile nodded again.

"So, what do you think?"

Xia Le smiled gently and looked at his subordinates in military uniform in front of him.

Crocodile was silent, he was thinking.

A person who can take such a decisive action against the Celestial Dragons must have incredible courage and guts. At the same time, he would not be content to be just a major general, and in the future, he would not just be in the navy.

After a long time, Crocodile raised his head.

“No matter what ambitions and aspirations you have in your heart, there is no doubt about it.”

“You also need a group of trustworthy helpers.”

Taking a deep breath, he looked seriously into the other person's eyes.

"I am willing to be your most reliable and powerful helper!"

In the past, I may have dreamed of becoming a great pirate, the Pirate King. But those memories have been shattered, and I can only rely on fragmented memories to recall my past self.

Now he cherishes what he has more, just as Commander Xia Le said when he was awarded the title.

Living in the moment!

Xia Le smiled and laughed out loud at Crocodile in front of him.

The others looked at each other, not knowing what the two were talking about.

"Hey, Lao Sha, what's going on? What are you talking about with Commander Xia Le?"

Rocinante ran over, put his arm around Crocodile's shoulders, and asked curiously.

Evans and others also turned their heads and looked interested.

"I discovered a secret of the commander!"

Pursing his lips, Crocodile smiled.

"What secret?"

"Can you tell us?"

Mina asked.

Crocodile smiled, glanced at Xia Le, and then laughed.

"Our commander!"

"He has killed a celestial dragon!"

For a moment, the whole ship was silent.

Rossinanti, who originally had a smile on his face, had his pupils contracted, and the expressions of the others also changed.

But when they saw Xia Le standing in front of them with his arms folded and looking at them with a smile, everyone quickly put their smiles back on their faces.

"Hahahaha!"

"What kind of joke are you playing?"

"It is not funny."

"I just felt frightened!"

Everyone started laughing and cursing.

No one took Crocodile's words seriously because their superior did not acknowledge it at all.

Only Evans, when he turned his head inadvertently, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of fear and shock.

"He didn't deny it either!!!"

But soon, this matter was forgotten by everyone.

Everything is as if nothing happened.

Next, they were more curious about what was in the wooden box in Evans' hand.

"What will it be?"

"The commander said that this mission is taken very seriously by the headquarters."

"The items inside are probably worth a fortune, right?"

"It must be something we can't imagine."

Several people were eager to try, but due to the rules, they did not dare to unlock the wooden box easily.

"If you want to know what's inside, just open it."

Xia Le smiled.

He wasn't very interested in what was inside the wooden box because he had already roughly guessed what was inside.

It's probably a devil fruit.

Today's Vegapunk should have launched a series of research on devil fruits and bloodline factors.

"can I open this?"

"Isn't this mission to be kept strictly confidential?"

T. Peng En was surprised.

"If you don't tell anyone, isn't that keeping it a secret?"

"Xiao Gu, don't be so rigid! Otherwise you will suffer a great loss in the future!"

Xia Le asked back, and then said to Crocodile.

"Xiaosha, use your ability to open it!"

Crocodile smiled and said, "That's easy."

After a while, the sand penetrated into the hole of the wooden box lock and quickly solidified into a key.

The wooden box was opened with the sound of the lock being pried open.

Evans opened the lid of the wooden box, and everyone looked inside. They saw a fruit with a strange pattern on its surface.

"It's a devil fruit!"

Slo was shocked.

"Our mission this time is to escort the devil fruit?"

Kirara is also a Taoist.

Everyone was very surprised, but Xia Le remained calm.

He knew very well that after the Navy took control of Vegapunk, the latter launched a series of research on devil fruits and developed many results.

"Close it."

After taking a quick glance and seeing the desire in everyone's eyes, Xia Le said lightly.

Evans closed the box with a snap.

"Hehe, if we want to have this ability, we can strive for it ourselves in the future."

"This fruit is the key to this mission."

After hearing this, the desire in the eyes of Slo and others faded away.

The distance between them and Egghead Island was not too close, but it was not too far either.

It was ten days later that the warship entered the island's port.

As Xia Le expected, the defenses of Egghead Island were very tight, and a lieutenant general was responsible for receiving them.

"I'm sorry, Major General Xia Le, according to regulations, no one outside this island is allowed to enter here."

The lieutenant general said in a deep voice.

"What about me?"

Xia Le took the wooden box handed to him by Evans and continued.

"The order I received was to hand this item over to Vegapunk personally."

The lieutenant general was silent at first, then continued.

"As a disciple of the Navy hero, Vice Admiral Garp, I believe you are trustworthy."

"But as I just said, you are the only one allowed to enter with the mission items."

Xia Le nodded.

He then passed through the port where many elite naval forces were stationed and entered the island.

There is no doubt that Egghead is now a well-defended scientific research base.

When passing through the gate of the base, Xia Le saw not only navy personnel, but also some mysterious people in black clothes, with cold expressions and very alert.

About half a quarter of an hour later, he met Vegapunk in the waiting room.

"Come with me, Major General Xia Le."

When the latter saw him, he waved and turned away.

Xia Le was stunned and followed with the box in his hand.

Chapter 50 We are friends

Vegapunk looks very much like Einstein, a great scientist in Xia Le's previous life.

Now in middle age, his head is very big and very tall, almost touching the ceiling.

Xia Le followed the other person quietly until they entered a laboratory filled with all kinds of papers and instruments.

"it's stuffy!"

Vegapunk came to a pile of test tubes and started to tinker with them.

“I was captured by them.”

"I was researching the 'bloodline factor' with Vinsmoke Judge at the time."

"The World Government thought that what I was doing was too dangerous, so they brought me here and bribed my team."

"But later, I thought this was a good idea. At least I wouldn't be bothered by the huge amount of resources and money needed for the experiment!"

When Vegapunk said this, he laughed at himself.

Xia Le listened quietly, feeling a little surprised.

He was actually not familiar with the other party, and most of the information came from the previous world.

"If possible, I don't want to cooperate with the World Government. What's more, everything I do here can be said to be forced."

Vegapunk said again.

"Can you tell me these?"

Xia Le asked curiously.

"The room is well soundproofed, and they don't care what I say."

"The World Government is more concerned with my research results."

"They just want results!"

Vegapunk smiled.
