Kings, Too Many of Them

His gaze was indifferent yet cold, sending shivers down the spines of the entire Pirate crew.

"Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it's the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"

"He's actually the Inazuma Man who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"

Pirate cried out in fear.

In the eyes of most Pirate, Logia Fruit users are invincible, let alone those who Control Lightning.

"Wait, he, he looks like it!"

"That Vice Admiral."

"Xia Le! It's Xia Le!"

Then, someone else recognized the navy officer in front of them, and they became even more terrified.

Ryan was completely stunned.

Marine Vice Admiral Xia Le?

The Marines who captured Roger and defeated Golden Lion Shiki a few days ago, sending him to Impel Down!

"Damn it, how could someone as powerful as you be here!"

Ryan screamed in terror.

Xia Le raised his right hand, and Lightning crackled and sparked between his fingers.

"The route you've chosen happens to be the area I'm stationed in."

"Courageous people deserve respect."

"But unfortunately, guys like you don't deserve any pity."

As Xia Le's voice rang out, the electric arc rapidly expanded and intensified, causing the temperature inside the alley to surge at an extremely fast pace.

The next second, Xia Le pointed.

"Sizzle!"

The crackling of electric arcs spread forward like tree branches, hurtling towards the remaining Pirate.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Ryan screamed in terror.

But in an instant, he and the other Pirate were struck by Lightning. The intense heat generated in a short moment caused their entire bodies to burst into Flame, and then, due to the terrifying Annihilation power of the Lightning, they twisted and disappeared.

This Pirate crew of more than ten people was vaporized in the blink of an eye by the Inazuma released by Xia Le.

Then, Xia Le turned around, her brows furrowing slightly again.

"It seems the coming period will be the busiest."

With a flash of Lightning, he vanished again.

This day was the second to last day before the execution.

But on this very day, countless mad, ambitious Pirate and dark forces, who misjudged their own strength, launched Shockwave on the place where Roger was imprisoned.

Xia Le's Domain was activated, and on this day, he annihilated over a hundred Pirate and continuously assigned tasks to his subordinates.

As night fell, their tasks became even busier.

By the seventh day, according to Crocodile's count, they had eliminated a total of 36 Pirate crews and killed an astonishing 458 Pirate.

"Roger will be executed tomorrow!"

Borsalino looked up at the morning Rising Sun and spoke softly.

Xia Le remained calm and offered no comment on the statement.

"Let's get moving, today is going to be another busy day."

"These Humble Sewer Nezumi never seem to have a clear understanding of themselves!"

Sakazuki said coldly.

After adjusting his navy cap, he exuded a murderous aura and was the first to leave.

The rest of the team left one by one, while Xia Le dispersed the Domain and used his ability to create a Thundercloud that radiated for three kilometers around the Loguetown.

Then, on that day...

People three kilometers away often hear thunder and see Lightning strikes.

They had no idea that every Lightning that struck would kill several, or even dozens of people.

On the same day, at the Harbor of Loguetown, people continuously disembarked from ships and quickly merged into the dense crowd ahead.

Among them is the future Great Pirate who will be famous throughout the world on the high seas.

"Fufufufufufu!"

"This is a world-shaking event!"

"It's both exciting and thrilling."

In the crowd, a figure spread his arms wide and laughed loudly.

"I can feel the pulse of the times!"

At the same time, on another street.

A man with Red-Haired, a long sword at his waist, and a Straw Hat walked by silently with his head down, followed closely by a Red Nose boy.

As evening fell that day, Thundercloud gathered over Loguetown, and thunder rumbled.

"Boom!"

As the sky darkened and then brightened, a figure suddenly appeared on the street near Central Park after an Inazuma. The figure was wearing a green hat and clothes that completely covered its head, making it impossible to see its appearance.

As a bolt of Inazuma flashed, the man slowly raised his head and looked up at the high Execution Platform in front of him.

"Is this where you'll be buried tomorrow?"

"Roger!!!"

Chapter 81 King, There Are Too Many

Dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Suddenly, the wind picked up, causing the man's robes to flutter wildly and the hood covering his face to shake violently.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a bolt of Inazuma ripped through the sky, winding its way down and striking directly above the high Execution Platform in front of them.

The man shrouded in green clothes and hat suddenly became serious, his eyes filled with an inexplicable majesty as he looked up at the front.

The Execution Platform, which was empty just a moment ago, now has a figure standing there.

His body was enveloped in blue arcs of electricity, his white Marine Uniform and the Justice Cloak on his back were billowing in the wind, and the background was the Lightning that had ripped through the sky and was rapidly disappearing.

"Xia Le!"

The man called out the other person's name.

Clearly, he recognized the navy officer standing on the Execution Platform.

The wind suddenly picked up.

Xia Le stood on the Execution Platform, looking down at the man shrouded in green clothes and a hat.

"Dragon?"

He quickly determined the other person's identity.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

As he called out the name, a sudden whirlwind swept across Central Park, whipping up dust and sand.

"Boom!"

Inazuma flashed across the sky overhead.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, quietly observing one another.

One person is surrounded by Hurricane, while Lightning flashes behind another.

After a long silence, Dragon suddenly burst into laughter.

What's the point of being in the navy?

"How about joining forces with me to overturn this world?"

Xia Le smiled too.

Are you trying to steal your father's girlfriend?

"The whole world knows that I am his disciple."

Upon Wen Yan, Dragon laughed even louder.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"However, I see something in you that the old man doesn't have."

Xia Le showed an interested expression. "Oh?"

Dragon's expression suddenly turned serious, and the wind around him grew stronger.

What about your dreams?

"Xia Le!"

"Or rather, what is the moral code you've upheld throughout your life? What path are you ultimately choosing to take?"

The sudden question startled Xia Le slightly.

Dreams? Morality? Path?

He hadn't really thought about these questions in detail, only had a vague idea in mind. Since meeting Garp, his life had been pretty good.

His power, reputation, and status are all steadily rising. In fact, he has been hailed as the most promising navy officer in the new era, and some people have even agreed that he should succeed him as the future Fleet Admiral.

But he himself had never given these questions a serious thought.

"So, what do I really want?"

The question about Dragon made Xia Le think a lot at this moment, and various images and thoughts flowed through his mind.

After a long while, an Inazuma streaked across the back of the Execution Platform, and he suddenly grinned.

"A dream?"

"Then I am definitely different from you, Dragon!"

Dragon laughed too, "Well then, tell me!"

"Just consider it a casual chat that happened by chance."

"You are the old man's most outstanding disciple, while I am his most rebellious and disappointing son."

"We get along really well!"

Xia Le shook her head and smiled as well, "I can't tell from that. We don't seem to have anything in common to talk about."

Then, the smile on his face vanished in the next second, and he looked down, or rather, into the distance.

Standing here, you can see everything in Loguetown, and in the distance, the endless ocean and the vast world.

"I just think..."

Dragon focused intently, listening carefully.

"This world is so big!"

Xia Le said with a soft laugh, a hint of melancholy and emotion in her eyes.

"There were as many as twenty kings!"
