Whitebeard is on his deathbed.

Xia Le rushed there anxiously. When he saw the old man lying on the hospital bed, dying, with even the light in his eyes gone, his heart skipped a beat.

"Newgate!"

He whispered aloud.

"Xia Le!"

"Ku la la la la la!"

"It's so great to meet you and Roger in this life."

Whitebeard turned his head, his eyes seemed to have some light, and said with a smile.

"Also, my sons who have accompanied me all the way here!"

"I am very happy, my life is very complete!"

His words made the small room burst into tears.

Ace, Marco, Jozi, Bista and others were already in tears. Although they had predicted this scene, they still couldn't accept it when they saw it with their own eyes.

"The only thing that makes me curious."

"Xia Le, you really won't die?"

Whitebeard asked with a smile.

Xia Le was silent.

Even he himself didn't know the answer to this question.

Finally, white-bearded Edward Newgate left with a smile on his face.

His life was perfect and exciting. In his prime, he had an era of his own and watched the world enter the age of empires.

Xia Le seemed to be in a low mood when he returned home and didn't speak for a long time.

Pluto Rayleigh and Whitebeard Edward Newgate have passed away one after another, but it can be expected that more people will leave in the future.

Including his teacher Garp, Sengoku, He, Zefa and others, as well as his eldest brother Kobra, and even his peers.

By then, will he be the only one left in the world?

Facing a strange world, a strange era, and strange faces alone.

When friends and brothers leave together, everyone else in the empire will only feel awe and fear when facing him.

What's the point of everything then?

"Father, look here, I have mastered the overlord's lustful entanglement!"

At this time, the eldest son ran over excitedly and showed off the black and red lightning between his fingers.

"Not bad!"

Xia Le was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and praised him.

My children are indeed very talented. The three colors of domineering had all been awakened when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and his shortcomings in seeing, hearing, and color had been made up compared to that time.

What is certain is that in the future, he will be able to hold important positions in the empire just by relying on his own abilities.

"What is your aspiration?"

"When I was young, everyone had a dream."

"In my opinion, even if times have changed, human beings should not lack dreams."

Xia Le asked with a smile.

"I want to be like my father and ascend to the throne of God in the future!"

The eldest son took a sneak peek and said cautiously.

This is a dream that has been buried in my heart since I was very young. It's just that in his opinion, his father seems to be very taboo about his children getting something for nothing and inheriting everything their father has worked hard for, let alone turning the empire into a family.

"I want to be like a father, a figure respected by countless people."

Hearing this, Xia Le fell silent.

The eldest son became even more nervous and felt that the air around him seemed to freeze.

But soon, he saw a smile on his father's face.

"Since you have a dream, chase it hard."

"Just because you are my son, you cannot be deprived of your qualification to ascend the throne and become emperor."

“But the process must be legal and compliant!”

Xia Le said softly.

"Ok!"

"I will definitely become the strongest person in the world and inherit all my father's honors!"

The eldest son was stunned at first, then shouted excitedly, feeling as if he had been greatly encouraged.

His father actually supported him in working hard for this dream!

What could make him feel more excited and excited than the support of the man in front of him?

"You are my son, of course you should be stronger."

Xia Le smiled.

He is unwilling to limit or deny the other party's efforts because of his identity.

Ever since he was a child, his eldest son has never let him down. Whether it is the study or cultivation he arranged, he has always worked hard to do well and complete it.

Then he shouldn't disappoint the other party.

"But since you aim to become the emperor, you should work harder!"

"There is even great danger in it."

"so."

After a pause, Xia Le called out his eldest son's name.

"Xia Ming, are you ready?"

The eldest son Xia Ming took a deep breath with firm eyes: "I have been preparing for this!"

"I don't want to bring shame on your glory because of myself!"

Xia Le shook his head gently and reached out to knock the other person on the head: "Stupid, you shouldn't live for anyone."

"Even if it's me!"

"In this life, you should live for yourself!"

Xia Ming was startled, then nodded slightly: "I understand!"

Even though the two have a father-son relationship, their relationship has been more like friends since childhood.

After dismissing his eldest son, Xia Le sat on a chair and meditated for a long time.

The next year, he solemnly announced on the Empire News that he would step down from his position as emperor and enter retirement life.

This news shocked the entire empire.

Because judging from his condition, Emperor Xia Le was obviously at his peak, but no one thought that this emperor was actually nearly seventy years old.

At the same time, this also means that the empire will run for a new emperor.

The empire is boiling, and the emperor will be selected from among the ministers.

Even the staff of the imperial government will personally investigate the public opinion on the selection from all over the world.

Half a year later, Charles abdicated and retired to the background.

"Father, why do you want to abdicate?"

"Obviously with your body and condition, you are fully qualified for this position!"

The eldest son Xia Ming was puzzled.

"If you look at my body and condition, maybe I can stay on the throne forever."

Xia Le chuckled softly.

"So, where is your dream?"

“Where are other people’s dreams?”

"What about the dreams of all those who want to contribute to the world and change the world?"

A simple sentence, but it was deafening in Xia Ming's ears.

At this moment, he realized that an outstanding emperor was not just someone with great strength.

In terms of thinking, it is more advanced.

Three months later, Aokiji won by a narrow margin and became the second emperor of the empire.

Crocodile, Fujitora, Barrett, Kizaru and others celebrated it without any dissent.

"This result is not unexpected!"

"We live in the same era, among the five of us, only one can be the emperor."

"It's time for us to retire!"

Several people said with emotion.

They have served together for many years and are already good friends. They will not get into trouble just because of the throne.

Qing Pheasant ascends the throne, and the world welcomes its second emperor.

At this time, people realized that what the founding emperor Xia Le said was not just words, he really did it.

Xia Ming, who aimed to become the Great Emperor, became more motivated and practiced and worked diligently every day.

Like his father, he chose to join the navy and is now a young general.

Another year later, Xia Le got the news.

Cap passed away.

His heart trembled, unspeakable sadness swept over him, and he was speechless for a long time.

Chapter 446: Forty Years of Empire

Monkey D. Cap.

Legendary naval hero.

His life course has already become a legend in the world.

He was also the mentor of Xia Le, the founding emperor of the People's Republic of China, and taught many famous contemporary generals and officials.

But no matter how glorious your life is, it will eventually come to an end.

On this day, the whole country was silent.

Xia Le wore black clothes with paper flowers on his chest and attended the funeral to bid farewell to Garp.

He stood in the front row, next to Kuzan, the current emperor of the empire.

Both of them had heavy expressions and were silent.

Behind them, Xia Ming and Xia Yue were already in tears. Garp was also the grandfather who taught them how to grow up and had been with them since childhood.

The host looked solemn in the front and told about Karp's life in a low tone.

Drago and Luffy stood on one side. Over the years, both of them had changed a lot.

The departure of their loved ones made them look a little tired today. They stood there quietly, wondering what they were thinking.

Luffy, who was once cheerful and lively, looked extremely serious that day.

Behind him stood Zoro, Sanji, Nami and others, all comforting him softly.
