Big News

Marineford entered a state of war. Black turrets rapidly adjusted their angles, elite naval forces assumed their most tense postures, and countless Warship dispersed into formation, aiming at the Gate of Justice.

Beyond the Gate of Justice stood rows of Warship on guard, each Warship by Flag Officer.

It is evident how much pressure Roger's Daimyo exerted on the Navy.

Such a world-class powerhouse would be very difficult to stop if he wanted to cause trouble at Marine Headquarters.

About fifteen minutes later, on a patrolling Warship Gate of Justice, a Flag Officer, holding binoculars, spotted a black dot suddenly emerging from the sea.

"Target spotted!"

"Based on the Warship's serial number, it belongs to Rear Admiral Warship Xia Le!"

"Report immediately! Rear Admiral Xia Le's Warship has entered visual range!"

The news quickly spread throughout Marineford, and Kong and the others learned of it immediately, their gazes sharpening instantly.

The wind howled, billowing their robes, and everyone stood ready for battle.

Moments later, Xia Le's Warship were clearly visible.

"It is now confirmed that the Pirate King Roger is on Xia Le Rear Admiral Shale's ship, and his hands are in shackles."

"Roger, confirmed arrest!"

"Rear Admiral Xia Le and his entire crew are present; no one is injured."

The news, when it reached headquarters, sent shockwaves through countless people.

Garp appeared somewhat agitated, muttering, "Too slow!"

At the same time.

Xia Le and the others, who were heading towards the Gate of Justice, also saw the scattered yet neatly arranged fleet ahead.

It was clear to the naked eye that the leading officers were all battle-hardened elites.

As the Warship passed the first one, the admiral on the other ship saluted him from a great distance.

Xia Le returned the greeting, and then saw the Warship following behind in a protective formation.

Then came the second, the third...

When he arrived at the Gate of Justice, more than forty Warship had followed him from behind and to both sides. Such a grand display stunned the others on board.

This made Xia Le look at Roger, who was sitting cross-legged on the deck, completely still.

This shows that the Navy's regard for Roger was extraordinary.

Chapter 67 Big News Morgans

A silent solemnity and gravity permeated the air of Marineford.

The Warship slowly sailed through the Gate of Justice, and an even more somber atmosphere permeated the air.

In the Inner Bay, nearly a hundred Warship were lined up neatly, and countless sailors stood upright, watching this direction.

"Marine Headquarters is on high alert!"

"Rosinante said in a trembling voice."

This scene had an unimaginable Shockwave on his young mind.

A dense array of Marine warship, and an even larger elite naval force, stood silently waiting on Marineford Square.

Everyone was on high alert, ready to attack without hesitation should there be any unusual activity on their ship.

At that moment, the Gate of Justice behind them slowly closed, completely blocking any path of retreat.

This represents the Marine Headquarters' alertness and is the minimum respect shown to Roger, the Pirate King.

Even though the other party has surrendered and their hands are shackled, they are still on high alert.

"Rear Admiral Xia Le, please proceed to Port No. 8!"

As the Warship drew closer to the Inner Bay Harbor, guiding voices came from ahead.

Xia Le nodded, gesturing for Slo to turn around.

He could hear the tremor in the other person's voice; the Staff Officer who spoke was undoubtedly very nervous. It could be said that at this moment, the entire navy was in a state of extreme tension.

Sea Breeze blew by, and Xia Le's white Justice Cloak fluttered behind him.

The Warship slowly docked at the Harbor, and with a team of naval personnel providing support, Xia Le walked down the steps in front, followed by Roger.

"This is my first time here!"

Roger sighed.

Upon seeing the heavily guarded Fortress and the solemn-faced elite naval personnel, he chuckled softly again.

Everyone's really nervous!

Xia Le lit the Cigar in his hand, took a puff, and frowned slightly.

As expected, he still couldn't get used to the pungent smell.

"This is the least you can do to show respect."

Roger smiled, "Respect?"

Your words are very interesting.

The two walked ahead, with Crocodile, Bullet, Evens, and others following behind.

"Rear Admiral Xia Le, please take Goldo Roger to Headquarters Building."

"Fleet Admiral Kong, Admiral Vice Admiral Garp, Sengoku Zephyr, and Admiral are waiting there!"

A naval Staff Officer on one side shouted nervously.

His eyes were fixed on the young officer in front of him, and then on the familiar mustache-covered face behind him. He felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his body.

Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King!!

It really was him!

Xia Le nodded and took a step forward.

They walked in silence, the only sound being the clinking of the shackles on Roger's hands.

Bullet's eyes flickered, his gaze fixed intently on the figure ahead.

There seemed to be some expectation in his eyes, but Roger remained calm until he arrived at the Headquarters Building and saw those burly figures.

"Goldo Roger!"

"We've finally met!"

Kong crossed his arms, looked down, and said in a deep voice.

There was a hint of amazement in his eyes, and his tone was clearly filled with emotion.

Even though they were on opposing sides, he still respected the other's courage and strength.

"Kong!"

"This is our first time meeting."

Roger laughed.

"I've always regretted it because of my busy official duties."

He sighed in vain.

Then, his gaze turned to Xia Le, revealing an undisguised admiration.

"By capturing Roger, regardless of the specific circumstances, you have rendered a great service to the Navy and the world!"

Xia Le smiled slightly but remained silent.

"Take him to Impel Down!"

"Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, I'm leaving this matter to the three of you!"

After a pause, Kong took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.

"We must carefully consider how to announce this message to the world."

"And to discuss in detail the outcome of Roger's case."

Garp and his two companions stepped forward and surrounded Roger.

The master and apprentice exchanged a glance. Garp seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he simply patted Xia Le on the shoulder.

You've grown up.

Yes, compared to when he was young and thin when they first met, Xia Le has now grown into a strong, robust, and mature general.

One can see the other person's thoughts about the world just by looking into their eyes.

Perhaps this little guy, whom he admires and has taken as his disciple, has already made a decision about his own life.

Xia Le grinned, stepped aside, and then looked at Roger.

Surrounded by three men who were arguably the strongest fighters in the headquarters, Roger showed no fear. He still wore that faint smile, as if nothing in the world bothered him.

Roger left without even glancing at Xia Le.

Soon, only Kong and Xia Le's group remained in the arena.

"You did a great job, Xia Le!"

Kong praised him, but then his eyes suddenly turned to the long sword at his waist.

"This knife?"

Xia Le smiled slightly, "Consider it spoils of war!"

"Yeah?"

"That will be your honor as a member of the Navy."

Kong paused for a moment, then nodded and smiled.

"Leave the rest to us. You can take a good vacation and rest for now!"

Xia Le gladly accepted the vacation.

After bidding farewell to Sora, he led Crocodile and the others back to their residence at headquarters.

Then, only three days later...

An explosive news story swept across the world at lightning speed, causing a global uproar.

"Has the Pirate King Gol D. Roger been captured?"

"Are you kidding me? That's the Pirate King who circled the Grand Line, reached the Laugh Tale, and took the crown of the Pirate King!"

"The freest person in the world? How could he possibly be arrested?"

"Who is it? Who on earth has such great power to capture Roger?"

"·····"

Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically; the sudden Big News Morgans had stirred up the whole world.

South Blue, Baterilla Island.

A woman with long, pink hair and freckles stared blankly at the newspaper in her hands, unable to utter a sound for a long time.

"Roger!"

But she quickly calmed down.

She looked down at her abdomen and gently stroked it.

Not long after, the people who captured Roger were revealed.

"Rear Admiral Xia Le!?"

"Was it him who captured Roger? But who is this guy? I've never heard of him!"
