The news quickly spread among the navy.

This made Sengoku, the leader of the South Blue, frown.

He could naturally tell that the recent strange public opinion was suspicious, and he could easily find out where the source of it was.

But it's no longer necessary.

The World Government suddenly relented on the second day.

Thus, this operation targeting Roger's bloodline, which lasted for three months, was finally halted due to public opinion within the Navy and other special circumstances, bringing a sigh of relief to the general public in the South Blue.

Even the large number of naval officers who accompanied them wore expressions of relief.

As naval personnel, their initial motivations were based on Justice and dreams, but the search operation later showed signs of shifting from its original purpose.

In particular, the order to execute an innocent pregnant woman, which circulated internally, sent chills down the spines of many officers.

Is this the Justice we seek?

"How could Vice Admiral Xia Le, who speaks of equality Justice, possibly carry out such an order!"

"Destroying Baterilla Island and evacuating innocent civilians—this is Vice Admiral Xia Le's practice of his own morality, and at the same time, a silent rebellion against his superiors."

"He was truly a great man!"

It must be said that although Xia Le disobeyed orders, his reputation among the lower ranks of the navy is on the rise again. His actions have even brought many sensitive young female officers to tears.

Xia Le wore a thoughtful expression; he was naturally paying attention to the recent reactions within the Navy.

From initially disobeying that order to the recent shift in public opinion, it can be said that the situation is getting better and better for him, and his good reputation has spread far and wide.

Some people even gave him a code name.

Thunder God.

Enel proclaimed himself God who Control God, yet the world bestowed upon him this title.

"Although you have earned a good reputation in the Navy."

"However, in the eyes of the World Government's top brass, they have undoubtedly become a thorn in their side."

Crocodile exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a low voice.

"What's your next step?"

"Return to headquarters and continue as a Vice Admiral?"

"The position of Admiral is probably out of your reach for the time being."

Bullet crossed his arms and smiled faintly.

This superior's recent methods have become somewhat to his liking.

To destroy an Island in the face of the world is a remarkably ruthless tactic, though in his view it still appears tactful and gentle. Considering the opposing side, it was already quite good.

"He's declaring war on the World Government!"

Sooner or later, everyone will walk down that path.

"It actually makes me feel a little excited."

Bullet's eyes gleamed with anticipation.

Although the Navy is an independent entity, it is controlled by the World Government. Being part of it makes it impossible to avoid this situation.

He was curious about what path this powerful man would ultimately take.

But one thing is certain: the other party is definitely different from Roger, and harbors far more terrifying ambitions.

"Next step?"

Upon Wen Yan this, Xia Le smiled.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the people around him.

"Gentlemen, are you interested in becoming a ruler with me and living a peaceful and tranquil life?"

Crocodile, Bullet, Evens, and the others were all stunned.

Soon after, Xia Le's team returned to headquarters.

The entire squad began learning the Six Powers. This powerful Hand-to-Hand Combat, which circulated within the Navy, was not widely known; only true internal members could be taught it.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this sunny day, a gentle Sea Breeze stirred the curtains in the Fleet Admiral's Office.

Kong stared at the strong, tall young man before him, a complex light flashing in his eyes before returning to calm.

"Xia Le."

"Your contributions to the Navy are beyond question."

"This is something that our headquarters unanimously agrees on."

The sudden words startled Xia Le, but she quickly understood what the other person meant.

Kong, at this moment, was still pondering, or rather, carefully organizing his thoughts.

He wanted to use gentle words to appease the excellent navy officer's emotions and calm his anger and grievances.

In fact, as a naval officer, Xia Le's abilities are undoubtedly qualified or even exceed expectations.

His character, strength, methods, and so on are all admirable, and even he, as Fleet Admiral, highly approves of him.

But.

Thinking of this, Kong sighed and was about to say what he was going to say next.

But at that moment, Xia Le smiled slightly and spoke first.

"I request a transfer from headquarters to the Four Blues Region."

"What?"

Kong blurted out, a look of astonishment in his eyes.

His series of words, which he had just prepared, were all interrupted at this moment.

Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the young Vice Admiral in front of him.

Roger has been executed.

"The situation in the sea has stabilized for now, and there's not much work for me to do if I stay at headquarters."

"How about transferring him to the Four Blues region?"

Xia Le smiled and said softly.

"Yeah?"

Kong paused for a moment, lost in thought.

He had realized that the young man in front of him was clearly aware of his situation, and therefore had taken the initiative to offer to be transferred away from headquarters, thus avoiding an embarrassing situation for him.

It's important to understand that while the naval system is vast and spans the globe, the headquarters navy naturally holds a higher status than other regions in the Four Blues, is closer to the power structure, and is the easiest to advance in.

The fact that the other party voluntarily applied for a transfer means that they have given up any further plans.

This is undoubtedly a difficult choice.

"Actually, there are vacant command positions at some bases along the Grand Line."

Kong said softly.

"Transfer me to the Four Blues Seas; it's much more leisurely there."

"I've been through a lot of battles lately, and I'd like to take a break."

Xia Le said with a smile.

Kong was slightly taken aback. Looking into the young man's eyes, a pang of guilt flashed through his heart.

What a talented person! What a pity.

"All right."

"The West Blue Branch is still short of a commander, so you will go there to take up the post."

"Responsible for naval-related work throughout the entire West Blue region."

He sighed and said softly.

"Yes!"

Xia Le, then turned and left.

Watching the other person's tall figure slowly disappear from sight, Kong sighed again.

"What a promising talent!"

"He could have risen to the rank of Admiral, or even Fleet Admiral!"

After a pause, Kong shook his head again.

"Hopefully, time will allow people to forget everything that happened."

"In this way, he still has the opportunity to be reused."

But that was no longer something he could care about. It was predictable that Xia Le's situation would remain unchanged for a long time to come.

In that case, no matter how high their prestige was, they will be forgotten by the world as time goes by.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

This was the day Xia Le prepared to leave for his post in West Blue.

The document regarding the transfer to the G-18 base in the West Blue, to manage all affairs within its jurisdiction, was issued yesterday, and the transfer order from headquarters has also been conveyed to the relevant departments in the West Blue.

Once Xia Le arrives in West Blue, he will become the supreme commander of the G-18 base, holding the position of commander-in-chief.

It can be said that such a position is undoubtedly one of great power and influence, overseeing all Town and the navy of the entire country within the West Blue region.

However, compared to the status of the Marine Headquarters, it is still insufficient.

However, Xia Le was already quite satisfied.

The commander-in-chief of a sea area is like a regional governor; within his jurisdiction, he is a veritable local emperor.

When he left that morning, Kuzan and Borsalino came to see him off.

"I've been to G-18 base before. It's huge, with three thousand elite soldiers, and it's a heavily fortified Fortress."

"Xia Le, you'll have a very comfortable life working there. I'm so envious!"

Borsalino sighed, his face revealing genuine jealousy and envy.

Xia Le smiled and teased, "This position is a perfect fit for Borsalino."

"Who can argue with that?"

Borsalino sighed in complete agreement.

The position of Commander-in-Chief is generally very relaxed. He clocks in and out, and if he finds something troublesome, he can have his officers or secretaries handle it. He can arrange his own time at will.

He is only needed when there is a large-scale mobilization at headquarters or during urgent missions.

Take good care of yourself, Xia Le!

"Don't be discouraged, you're still young, there are still opportunities in the future."

Kuzan offered words of comfort with a somber expression.

"Your words make me sound like I've been exiled."

Xia Le said helplessly.
