The Great Treasure?
"I don't have much time, and I didn't think I could teach you much."
Roger looked at the sea cut open in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
Xia Le fell silent; he suddenly felt a sense of heaviness in the air.
"Time is up!"
Roger said softly.
He gripped his sword, Ace, and raised it, pointing it at Xia Le.
"This may be the last showdown of my life!"
"Let me see just how much you've learned from me!"
Xia Le remained silent and motionless.
"Hesitation will not get you forward; indecision and hesitation are the biggest obstacles!"
"Xia Le, do I need to teach you this principle?"
Roger laughed.
His face was pale, and the Sea Breeze made him look like a willow branch in the wind, as if he might fall at any moment.
Upon Wen Yan, Xia Le took a deep breath, slowly raised the Military Saber in his hand, and pointed it at the other party.
"My stamina isn't enough to sustain a fight for too long."
"So, let's settle this with the Swordsmanship you've learned over the past year!"
Roger laughed.
"Good!"
Xia Le nodded.
The next second, a dazzling light erupted along the coast of Baterilla Island, causing the waves to recede, and time seemed to stand still for several breaths.
"Divine Departure!"
The same sound, the same moves, echoed between heaven and earth.
The waves burst open, creating a torrential Heavy Rain that was boiling, surging, and roaring.
"Thump!"
A figure collapsed to the ground, the sword in his hand falling to the ground.
"You've completed your apprenticeship."
"Xia Le!"
Xia Le stood quietly, looking down at the man sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of her, his body covered in blood.
"Click!"
The Military Saber in his hand suddenly cracked, turning into countless fragments that flew everywhere.
After a long while, he suddenly smiled.
You won't die.
"I can't either!"
Roger burst into laughter. "Yes!"
"I will not die!"
He suddenly propped himself up and slowly stood up.
Please allow me to say goodbye to some old friends and family.
Xia Le nodded, her expression complex.
He knew that a magnificent era was about to begin.
The old era has passed, and the new era has arrived.
An elder passes away, Rookie is born.
The gears of time will begin to turn at this moment.
That afternoon, Roger said goodbye to Portgas D. Rouge, without telling his wife much, only saying that he needed to go out for a while.
Rouge smiled as usual and did not stop her, only saying gently, "Remember to come back soon."
Xia Le stood outside the door, waiting quietly.
He watched the two embrace, watched Roger stroke his wife's face, watched him squat down and listen to her heartbeat, and then burst into laughter.
A long, long time later, Roger turned and left.
As they stepped out of the courtyard, the two heard soft sobbing behind them.
Upon boarding the Warship, Bullet, Crocodile, and the others were shocked to see the shackles on Roger's hands.
Everyone knows perfectly well what this means!
Xia Le didn't say much, only instructing them not to spread this matter.
Then, with a somber and serious expression, he turned to Roger.
She's pregnant!
Roger smiled, his gaze fixed on him with unprecedented seriousness.
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
"Xia Le!"
Xia Le frowned and sighed, "This is going to be a real problem!"
Roger didn't care at all and grinned.
"I'm giving Ace to you!"
Wen Yan, Xia Le felt even more troubled and looked down at the sword named Ace that was hanging at his waist.

Chapter 65 One Piece?
The Famous Sword, Ace.
The Twelve Supreme Grade Blades.
Yes, this is yet another deal.
But Xia Le knew very well that this transaction involved more than just that knife.
On the Warship, Bullet, Crocodile, T Bone, Rosinante, Evens, and others fell silent, their eyes filled with shock and horror as they stared at them.
For nearly a year, everyone in Xia Le's team was well aware of what their superiors were doing.
Everyone was surprised and envious of this, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to be personally taught by such a powerful figure as the Pirate King.
However, this must also be a highly confidential matter that cannot be leaked.
Everyone kept it a secret for Xia Le and never leaked Roger's information.
They even believed that over the course of the year, their Superior Officer had developed a good relationship with the Pirate King Roger, and that even as a Marine, he probably wouldn't arrest him.
But at this moment, the scene before them undoubtedly overturned all of everyone's guesses.
"Roger!"
Bullet was the first to react, gritting his teeth and spitting out a curse.
"Yo, Bullet, Sassiburita!"
"You're still so energetic."
Roger greeted him with a smile, showing no sign of treating himself as a prisoner.
What exactly do you want to do?
Bullet shouted.
Crocodile stood silently to the side, puffing on his Cigar, his eyes slightly narrowed, equally curious about the question.
His gaze kept shifting between Roger and Xia Le, completely unsure what the two were planning.
Can't you tell?
Roger grinned and raised the shackles on his hands.
"I turned myself in, but I got arrested!"
Bullet was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned grim.
He knew Roger fairly well, so he knew that although the man seemed to be joking, that only made him more certain that what the other man said was true.
It was at this moment that Xia Le spoke up.
"Slo, Mina!"
"Set sail for Marine Headquarters!"
He paused, then spoke in a deep voice.
"We did indeed capture the fleeing Pirate King in the South Blue Sea."
"Goldo Roger!"
This statement immediately defined the significance of the operation and sent a shockwave through everyone.
We've captured Pirate King Roger!
Without a doubt, such a major event, if it were to get out, would absolutely shock the entire Marineford. In fact, not only the Marine Headquarters, but the whole world would be in an uproar.
Roger, the person involved, simply smiled and sat down cross-legged with a thud.
He was a little tired.
The Warship set sail immediately, but at Xia Le's request, this momentous news was not relayed back to headquarters in a timely manner.
Because he had promised Roger that he could go and say goodbye to his old friend.
Even at full speed, it would take about five days to reach the Calm Belt from the Harbor of Baterilla Island.
Therefore, when the group crossed the Calm Belt and arrived at the Harbor Sabaody Archipelago for resupply, it was already 2 p. m. five days later.
I can only give you one hour.
"Roger."
Xia Le unlocked the other person's shackles and said softly.
"Haha, that's enough!"
"Farewells between men don't take long!"
Roger laughed loudly.
He then leaped off the Warship and disappeared into the crowd of people in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Xia Le stood at the bow of the ship, gazing silently ahead.
Behind them, Rosinante and the others were shocked by their Superior Officer's audacious actions.
"That's Pirate King Roger! Are we just going to let him go without making any preparations?"
"What if he really escapes?"
He had barely finished speaking when Bullet, standing in front of him, interrupted him with a cold expression.
"Shut up, Rosinante!"
"Roger, he's not that kind of person!"
Xia Le then spoke up, but instead of responding to the two, he reached out to Crocodile.
"Cigar, give me one."
