The Greatest Insult
"Where did this little brat come from? How could he possibly have caught Roger!"
Countless people found it hard to believe that Xia Le was far too young compared to Roger, a renowned strongman in the Navy.
Moreover, unlike Pirate who have bounties, most marines' identities are deliberately concealed, so they are not very well-known.
Xia Le is completely unknown to the world.
But soon, Xia Le's information was discovered by someone with ulterior motives.
"A disciple of Hero Vice Admiral Garp?"
"He once fought a fierce battle with Dark King Rayleigh, to a draw, and was described by Roger as an enemy that could not be ignored!"
"This guy is so powerful, where did he come from?"
The world was stunned.
From that moment on, Xia Le became famous all over the world.
Chapter 68 The Greatest Insult
1500 Sea Circle Calendar)
Pirate King Roger was captured and imprisoned, and Rear Admiral Xia Le's Daimyo became known throughout the world.
The entire sea began to boil, the Navy's prestige reached its peak in an instant, and the Pirate who were originally eager to make a move were doused with cold water.
The Grand Line, the Second Half.
On the Moby Dick.
"Naval Xia Le."
"Is he the kid Roger mentioned before?"
A man with blond hair and a crescent-shaped Whitebeard spoke in a deep voice.
This man was tall and imposing, exceeding the height of ordinary people. Even when sitting, his size surpassed that of others, and he exuded a suffocating aura of authority.
It was none other than Whitebeard, Newgate, one of the world's three legendary Pirate.
"Pops, there's probably more to this than meets the eye."
"Roger isn't so easy to catch!"
Marco spoke up, a look of confusion on his face.
Newgate narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled, "You're right!"
"But what I'm more interested in is that young navy guy mentioned in the news!"
Marco was taken aback. "You mean Xia Le?"
"I didn't pay much attention to him before; he was just a young navy officer."
"But today, his name has reappeared before me, and this time it's linked to Roger!"
Newgate said in a deep voice, his eyes sharpening.
"This kid is someone Roger has his eye on!"
He faced the Sea Breeze and slowly looked into the distance.
"So, did you really have the ability to capture Roger?"
"Or is there another reason behind this?"
Newgate suddenly recalled the time Roger came to his door last year, his words sounding like a farewell, or perhaps like he had made a huge decision.
"What exactly did you see on that island?"
Muttering to himself, Newgate looked down at the newspaper in his hand again.
At the same time.
The wind howled as the wrecked Flying Fleet anchored above the sea.
With blond hair flowing down his shoulders and trailing on the deck, and Ship's Wheel embedded in his head, he exuded the domineering Haki of a lion king. The powerful man's body suddenly trembled, and a wave of wind radiated outwards, causing the other Pirate around him to lose their footing.
"Boss?!"
The group of Pirate, still shaken, looked at the imposing figure ahead.
"Impossible!!"
"That's impossible!"
Shiki the Golden Lion Shiki's expression was grim, and his eyes were filled with fierce malice.
"How could someone like Roger be captured by a weak navy!"
"And by such a young guy!"
His gaze was fixed on the young face in the newspaper.
Suddenly, Shiki's expression froze again.
He vaguely remembered that young face.
"It's him!!"
He suddenly remembered.
Two years ago, Battle of Edd War, this face was surrounded by his own fleet. At that time, he hadn't taken the enemy seriously at all.
But just today, news suddenly broke that the other side had arrested Roger.
"Hehehehehe!"
"How could such a thing possibly happen?"
Shiki suddenly burst into laughter, but his eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Even if Roger is going to die!"
"He shouldn't have died at the hands of the Navy. Being captured by such weaklings would be an insult to the Pirate King."
"It is also the greatest insult to me, someone who is his equal!"
The next second, he suddenly spread his arms wide, and his long hair, like a lion's mane, flew wildly.
"Buzz!"
The void trembled, a ripple spread out, and the entire fleet behind them shook violently at that moment.
"I'm going to Marine Headquarters!"
Shiki suddenly shouted.
Behind them, all the Pirate on the fleet stared wide-eyed at their leader, unable to comprehend what they were seeing.
"Shiki!!"
One of the cadres asked loudly, sounding puzzled.
"Such an insult is something I, Golden Lion Shiki, will never accept!!!"
Shiki growled.
Then, he suddenly bent down and slammed his palm onto the deck beneath his feet.
"Buzz!"
The shockwave sent the other Pirate flying into the air, screaming as they plummeted from their ships.
"That kind of thing."
"I am enough on my own!!"
With his gaze fixed ahead, Shiki stood ramrod straight at the bow of the ship, his golden hair billowing behind him.
Then, the massive fleet roared forward, heading towards Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.
"Navy!!"
Prepare to face my wrath!
--
Marine Headquarters, Impel Down, Infinite Hell.
"Splash!"
The Chain clanged, and the prison door, made of Seastone, slammed shut.
Garp plopped down outside the cell door, staring at the man on the other side of the bars, his expression complex at that moment.
"I never imagined I'd see you here again."
Roger looked up, grinned, and exclaimed, "Hahaha, Garp!"
Are you feeling very down right now?
"You spent your whole life trying to capture me and send me here, but you never expected that it would be your disciple who accomplished it?"
Garp rolled his eyes, and the melancholy and complicated emotions in his heart vanished.
Then, he stared at the man in front of him.
"The boring chase game is finally over."
Upon Wen Yan, Roger's smile vanished, "You're right, it's finally over."
"That knife?"
Suddenly, Garp remembered the long sword at Xia Le's waist and asked in a deep voice.
"I gave it to him, how was it? Wasn't that a surprise?"
Roger laughed.
"That's probably more than just a knife."
"Garp said in a deep voice."
"It was his own choice, wasn't it?"
Roger said.
Garp remained silent.
In a lifetime, how many equally matched opponents can one encounter, and how many true friends can one make?
Even though they were enemies, it couldn't stop them from having a deep mutual respect.
Now that Roger has been arrested and he is in such a place, Garp is filled with mixed emotions. For some reason, he feels a sense of loss and sorrow.
"Garp, I need to ask you for a favor!"
Suddenly, Roger's smile vanished, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Oh?"
Garp.
"I have another son!"
Roger said slowly.
"I entrusted him to Xia Le."
"But."
Upon Wen Yan, Garp's pupils suddenly contracted.
In the Infinite Hell, the candlelight flickered, dim and dim, making the passage seem even darker. Gradually, the voices of conversation faded away, becoming as faint as the buzzing of mosquitoes, and could no longer be heard.
Marineford.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Sea Breeze swept in, and Xia Le stood at the highest point of this naval Fortress, looking down.
Everything was laid bare before my eyes at that moment.
