Thirteenth Division

Various words flashed through his mind, and even Xia Le, who had experienced countless battles, couldn't help but feel a surge of heroic spirit and excitement.

But only for a moment, he forcibly suppressed this emotion and regained his composure.

"If you leave it to me."

"I can train them into a elite force that belongs to us!"

Bullet said in a deep voice.

Having come from a military background, he had his own ideas about how to train and manage soldiers.

His eyes narrowed, and then he spoke again.

"An army that obeys only us, and only you!"

Upon Wen Yan, Xia Le's eyes flickered.

As the Warship docked at the Harbor, Xia Le and the others disembarked one by one, their eyes fixed on the distance ahead.

The navy soldiers stood in neat rows, all standing straight, looking at them with eyes that shone with either excitement or curiosity.

The officers standing in the front row suddenly shouted.

"Salute!!"

In an instant, all the navy personnel saluted.

The same action caused a "buzzing" sound to fill the air.

Xia Le watched this scene calmly.

He strode to the front, scanned everyone, and then slowly raised his hand to return the greeting.

Hello everyone!

"I am Vice Admiral Xia Le, and I will be taking over as commander of G-18 Base!"

The square was calm, with the Sea Breeze causing the naval flags on the Warship docked in the Harbor to flutter loudly.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the new commander.

"So, on the first day I met you all."

"Could someone please give me a brief overview of this Fortress?"

Xia Le spoke slowly, her gaze falling on the highest-ranking female officer in the room.

The latter sensed his gaze and immediately strode out of the group.

"Corps Colonel Ivy reporting for duty!"

Xia Le looked at the other person, observed them first, and then smiled.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ivy."

This female officer was clearly a swordswoman, with a sword at her waist, a serious expression, and a somewhat aloof demeanor. She wore black-rimmed glasses, and her black hair was tied in a ponytail, giving her a refreshing and pure impression.

As for how much strength they possessed, Xia Le had no idea.

However, to hold the highest military rank in this base, one must be quite accomplished.

"It's what I should do!"

Ivy said softly.

Then, a pair of eyes also turned to look at the young Vice Admiral with curiosity.

Chapter 99 Thirteenth Division

To a branch Colonel like Ivy, the tall, robust superior before her was like a legendary figure brought to life.

It was a profound shock to her young heart.

From the very first second she received the command, Ivy was in a daze.

It's hard to believe that such a powerful Vice Admiral, with such high prestige in the navy, would be assigned to a small place like the West Blue.

Compared to Vice Admiral Xia Le's abilities, the position of Commander of G-18 is undoubtedly mismatched.

He has a better future.

"Tell me about the situation here."

"Also, let them disperse."

Xia Le chuckled softly, his eyes looking down at the female officer in front of him.

The other person seemed a little dazed. Her delicate face and attire reminded him of the female officer named Tashigi who would be by Smoker's side in the future.

"Yes!"

Ivy snapped out of her daze and blushed immediately when she saw her Superior Officer staring at her.

She turned and winked at her colleagues, then followed closely behind her Superior Officer, who was already heading towards the base complex.

"G-18 base has approximately 13,000 naval personnel."

"A total of thirty-five Warship of various sizes."

"The base is circular in shape, with the main structure built on a small, desolate Island, surrounded by City Wall."

Taking a slight breath, Ivy calmly began her introduction.

While listening to the words in her ear, Xia Le looked around.

At the same time, his Domain rapidly radiated outwards, enveloping the entire Fortress in the blink of an eye.

As Ivy had said, the base was indeed arranged in a ring shape. The main body of the base was on the west side, which included a restaurant, Training Ground, entertainment venues, residential areas, armories, and so on. The magnificent gate was on the east side.

Tall watchtowers were built in all four directions: east, west, south, and north.

The only way to enter this Fortress is through the eastern gate, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Johnny Vice Admiral Johnny is nearing retirement, so I will be temporarily in charge of all affairs here until you arrive at the base."

Ivy spoke somewhat cautiously at this point.

"In that case, you are indeed an excellent manager."

Upon Wen Yan, Xia Le smiled and said.

No, no.

Ivy quickly replied.

"From today onwards, I will trouble Ivy to serve as my Aide."

Xia Le suddenly said.

"Ah?"

The sudden words startled Ivy.

"As for other matters, Crocodile, Bullet, Evens will handle them very well."

Xia Le then continued.

Ivy's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood.

She turned her head and realized that, without her noticing, several more people had joined the group at the back.

"Their aura is terrifying!"

"Vice Admiral Xia Le is indeed surrounded by Monster!"

Ivy was nervous.

While everyone else wandered around the base, she acted as a tour guide, introducing the facilities to the others.

It's worth mentioning that Rouge had also changed into a Marine Uniform and was following at the very back of the group.

"The total number of naval personnel in the entire West Blue should be around 280,000."

"All the Island, Town, kingdoms, and the 280,000-strong navy patrolling the seas are under your control and command."

"When a major incident occurs, other branches will request our assistance, and it will be up to you to decide whether to provide support."

Ivy said with a smile.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand?"

Xia Le was slightly taken aback upon hearing this number.

He was somewhat surprised, but also felt it was perfectly reasonable.

The four ocean regions are actually extremely vast, covering nearly a quarter of the Planet's surface.

The reason why the navy can Control the world is because of the massive number of junior naval personnel under its command.

Although most of the 280,000 branch naval personnel were ordinary low-level soldiers with weak individual combat capabilities, he alone could easily take them down.

But even such a number was still shocking, stirring his emotions.

It is this most ordinary group of people who laid the foundation for World Government to control the entire world.

Similarly, countless Staff Officer, generals, and even Admiral in the navy come from these most ordinary and humble backgrounds.

"To truly control these 280,000 people is tantamount to indirectly controlling the entire West Blue region."

Xia Le narrowed his eyes slightly.

He glanced behind him at Crocodile, Bullet, and the others.

When these people heard this astonishing number, they were clearly shocked and showed signs of excitement.

Xia Le was perfectly aware of what was on Xia Le's mind.

He suddenly gave a helpless smile.

They were clearly from the Navy, yet they acted as if they had infiltrated the Navy, intending to usurp its position—a group with malicious intentions.

But in fact, that seems to be the case.

From the day he overheard the conversation in the Fleet Admiral's Office, Xia Le had already begun to ponder the matter.

Travel to Four Blues, Control local military power, gradually plan your moves, and then completely occupy the land, possessing a loyal army that obeys only your orders.

This was his initial plan.

Instead of becoming Pirate or engaging in Revolution, he would act like a frail worm, gradually devouring the behemoth that is the Navy, and eventually making it his own.

After touring the entire base, Xia Le had gained a good understanding of the Fortress where he was stationed.

"Major Crocodile, effective immediately, you are promoted to Commander and will be in charge of the First Division."

"Bullet, you've also been promoted to Commander, in charge of the Second Division, and will also serve as the base's Chief Instructor, responsible for training outstanding and promising soldiers."

"Major Evens, in charge of the Third Division."

"Major T Bone, in charge of the Fourth Division."

"Yagyu Hyoe, Fifth Division."

After assigning the five squads, he paused slightly before continuing.

"Slo, Sixth Division."

"Kira, Seventh Division."

"Mina, Eighth Division."

"The Supreme Commanders of the Ninth to Thirteenth Division remain unchanged."

"The remaining officers who are dissatisfied may challenge the person I appoint. If they win, they will be reinstated; otherwise, they can serve as deputies."

After she finished speaking, Ivy's expression changed slightly.

"Yes, Vice Admiral Xia Le."

"I will relay your orders."

She keenly sensed that her new superior was decisive and efficient, and that the orders he issued brooked no questioning.
