On the Eve of the Demon-Slaying, an Admiral Is Deployed

After that experience, he wanted to work hard to become stronger.

"The Navy doesn't have a king, Ace!"

"Only Pirate can be kings."

Xia Le shook his head and chuckled.

"Then I'll become the Pirate King!"

Ace puffed out his cheeks and said.

"Okay, okay!"

"Then, Uncle Xia Le, let's see how you become king in the future!"

Xia Le burst into laughter.

This two-year-old kid probably doesn't even know what Pirate King is; he's just talking nonsense.

Then, he lifted Ace up, leaped, and hovered in the air.

Ace, still a child, immediately burst into joyful laughter.

"Lift him up high! Lift him up high!"

Xia Le was infected by the children's laughter and couldn't help but ask, "Is it tall?"

"High!"

"Ace said in a childish voice."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A burst of laughter echoed throughout the entire Marine Headquarters.

"See that? That's the Superior Officer's illegitimate son."

"He just took his mother's surname."

Buggy, secretly looking up at the figure in the sky, whispered something.

The navy personnel standing nearby were both surprised and excited.

The commander's illegitimate son!

Not far away, a white-haired boy stood with a calm expression, Cigar dangling from his mouth, completely ignoring Buggy's words.

Two years have passed, and they have all become honorable Junior Officer, their abilities no less than those of older naval officers.

"This is top secret!"

"You know this only because you're my subordinates, Buggy's men, but remember that."

"This absolutely must not be told!"

Buggy then lowered his voice again.

But suddenly, a bright light flashed across the sky, and a Lightning descended, enveloping his head.

"Ah!"

Buggy looked up in alarm, only managing a scream before being engulfed by Lightning.

Several of his subordinate naval officers beside him collapsed to the ground with a thud, their bodies emitting smoke.

"Serves you right!"

Not far away, Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke and said gloatingly.

Two years have passed, Buggy still hasn't shaken off his foul mouth and gossipy nature.

At the same time.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

"The Buster Call?!"

"They're just a group of defenseless scholars, should we really attack them?"

Saron, who was enormous and had been promoted to Vice Admiral, looked shocked and asked in disbelief.

Upon Wen Yan, Sengoku, whose face was already pale, suddenly raised his head.

"All you need to do is obey orders!"

This is a top-secret mission!

"You will participate as one of the five Vice Admiral commanding the Warship, Saron!"

Saron's body stiffened, disbelief flashing in his eyes. "Why go to this extent?"

"Is this the kind of Justice our navy seeks?"

"They're just a group of scholars who want to know history, and you want to take their lives?"

"Give me some proof that they are completely evil people!"

"And!"

"That's Xia Le's Hometown. What if he finds out about this!"

"And what will happen then?"

Upon hearing Xia Le's name, Sengoku's expression froze for a moment, then turned even colder.

"No matter who it is, they must obey orders!"

"Vice Admiral Saron!"

Upon Wen Yan, Saron clenched his fists, looking at Sengoku, the superior in the arena, and Aokiji and the others on the opposite side. He knew very well that no matter what he said, it would be a waste of time.

After turning around and walking away, his face was solemn and grim.

"Are they crazy?!"

"If this is Justice for the Navy!"

Saron raised his head, a determined glint in his eyes.

I joined the Navy not to carry out missions that involve wielding swords against innocent people.

Shortly afterward, he quickly returned to the Warship and left a letter for his most trusted subordinate.

"Send this letter to Fortress G-18 in the West Blue and deliver it to Vice Admiral Xia Le."

After finishing this task, Saron looked at the Female Archaeologist who was tied up in front of him.

"If there's anyone else who can help us with this?"

"He's the only one I can think of!"

Subsequently, the Navy released a startling piece of news.

Giant Vice Admiral Saron the Giant has defected!

Chapter 104 On the Eve of the Demon Slaying, the Admiral Move Out

"Bang!"

The heavy thud of a fist striking the table echoed, and Sengoku's face turned extremely grim.

He never expected that Saron, who had served in the Navy for many years, would defect to the Navy.

However, the mission from the World Government must still be carried out.

"Kuzan, Sakazuki!"

After a moment's hesitation, Sengoku looked at the two people in front of him.

Just as he was about to assign tasks, a figure suddenly flashed through his mind, causing him to pause.

"Go and summon Borsalino as well."

Kuzan's eyes flickered slightly, and his brows furrowed, while Sakazuki beside him remained expressionless.

Before long, Borsalino arrived. Seeing the solemn atmosphere among everyone, he couldn't help but smile and say...

"This suffocating atmosphere... has something major happened?"

Sengoku looked up. "Summoning you here is related to a top-secret mission."

Upon Wen Yan, Borosalino's expression twitched slightly. "I don't want to carry out any top-secret missions."

But the Admiral in front of him clearly wouldn't give him a chance to refuse, and immediately began to briefly explain the situation of the mission and assign the mission objectives.

"West Blue, Ohara."

Muttering to himself, Borsalino wore a helpless expression.

"That guy seems to be working in the West Blue, right?"

Kuzan nodded. "Not only that, Ohara is also his Hometown."

"This is really troublesome!"

Borsalino exclaimed in horror.

"Don't think of Xia Le, don't wear that fearful expression!"

"Don't forget your identities, and besides, he's also a Marine."

"This is a top-secret mission of the highest order. Even if he were standing right in front of me, he wouldn't be allowed to object in the slightest!"

Sengoku snorted and said with an ugly expression.

He was well aware of the extremely high regard for Xia Le within the Navy, the gap between the three people in front of him and the other party, and the deep affection between them.

"If, I mean if."

"When Xia Le stands before us, how should we conduct ourselves?"

Borsalino sighed and forced a smile as he asked.

He truly didn't want to fight that Monster unless absolutely necessary.

"Don't ask such a childish question, Borsalino."

"Recognize our identity."

"Even if that man obstructs headquarters from carrying out its mission, he won't have a good ending!"

Sakazuki then said coldly.

Sengoku frowned, looking at the three people before him, but said nothing more.

He sensed that morale was low among those tasked with carrying out the mission on the eve of the Buster Call.

After the three left, the Staff Officer beside him asked a question in a low voice.

"Should we inform the West Blue G-18 branch, Vice Admiral Xia Le, and others of their mission?"

Sengoku glared at the other person. "Don't you think things are complicated enough already?"

His brow furrowed, he sat down again, flipping through the documents about Ohara on the table, feeling only more agitated than anything else.

Faced with a group of scholars who were powerless to even kill a chicken, he issued Buster Call.

This was the first time such an event had ever occurred, and it was a cruel act that resonated deeply within the Sengoku family.

But he had no choice; he could only obey his superiors' orders.

A moment later, a figure pushed open the office door and entered.

"Zephyr?"

Why are you here?

Sengoku looked up and, upon seeing the person who had arrived, showed a surprised expression.

"Fleet Admiral Kong sent me."

Zephyr said in a deep voice.

Sengoku was taken aback, then realized what he meant and looked surprised. "Is it for that kid?"
