Chapter 23: The Charge Pirates and the 82nd Branch

In Xihai, after Xia Zheteng said goodbye to Dr. Kloba, he continued his journey. It has been a month since he left Branch 113. During this month, he wandered around, but not much happened.

Sometimes you would see some gangs fighting each other, but the scale was never very large. After all, those fast-growing gangs could easily destroy and swallow up small gangs.

The era of big gangs in the West Sea gradually took shape, and more places actually became peaceful.

"Porru porphyr."

The small Den Den Mushi in my hand suddenly rang.

During this month, Jiyuan and Kaji have been doing a good job, so there has been no work for him.

When I answered the phone, I heard Ji Yuan's voice.

"Governor Xia Zheteng, the Palace of Charlia and Saint Dalati have arrived at the Governor's Mansion. The members of CP0 ask you to return as soon as possible to perform the protection mission."

"Tell them that I have a more important mission to complete in hunting down pirates. With CP0 here, do we still need to take action? Don't worry about them."

Celestial Dragons, CP0, don’t bother with them.

"But……"

"That's what I said." Xia Zheteng said in a firm tone. This time Ji Yuan said nothing more. It was obvious that Xia Zheteng didn't want to come back to deal with these hateful Tianlong people.

"Anything else? If not, I'll hang up now."

"Also, it is said that the Charge Pirates have docked at the 82nd Branch Naval Port."

"Huh?" This was beyond Xia Zheteng's expectations. The pirate ship stopped at the navy's naval port. What was going on?

"It's just some rumors. I heard that Shu Erfeng, who led the charge, is the younger brother of the commander of Branch 82, Motaige."

"Oh, if that's the case, that's interesting. Are the navy and pirates teaming up?"

"Not really. It is said that Shu Erfeng follows the route of an elite pirate. There are not many of them, and they mainly hunt for treasures, which is completely different from Jiancheng Kaman."

"Is that so? Then let's go over and take a look. If he really has no intention of harming civilians, then we can let him go. As for Jiancheng Kaman, is there any news about him recently?"

"If I meet Shu Erfeng, I might get news about Kaman. The two families have always been at odds with each other."

"I understand. That's it for now. I'll go to Branch 82 first."

After the Den Den Mushi hung up, Xia Zheteng's boat changed direction and headed towards a small island.

West Sea Navy Branch No. 82, cafeteria.

It was lunch time. Looking around, all the people sitting here were navy men in uniform. However, in a small corner, there were more than a dozen completely different people.

These people were dressed strangely and looked very fierce.

The leader was more than three meters tall, with a huge body and strong muscles, showing his strength.

However, such a tall guy kept nodding and bowing to a naval colonel next to him who was only about two meters tall.

"No matter who you are now, remember that you were once a navy soldier. If you dare to point a knife or a gun at civilians, I will catch you even if I have to chase you around the world."

"Brother, remember everything. Just tell me every time you come. It's very tiring. To be honest, if it weren't for the new naval brigadier general stationed on Omyaq Island, I would have entered the Grand Line long ago, and you wouldn't even be able to find me by then." The huge man was standing upright.

"What's the matter? Do you think I, your brother, am a vegetarian? If you enter the Grand Line, I will also apply to the higher-ups to be transferred to the branch in the Grand Line. Then I can still supervise you." Brother Motage roared angrily.

Motaige also has a rough look, but he seems a little shorter than his younger brother Shu Erfeng.

However, the kind of power he possessed overshadowed Shu Erfeng.

"Brother, it's almost time to eat. I'm hungry." Shu Erfeng said helplessly. In his opinion, nothing is more important than eating.

"Let's eat."

The chefs in the cafeteria brought up huge bowls of rice and huge bowls of vegetables.

There are no particular rules for eating here, just grab some food together.

The members of the pirate group were standing upright and fighting hard to grab the food.

However, everyone still abides by one principle, which is not to waste food, as food is a very precious thing.

Especially at sea, every grain of food is important. Pirates often say that no roast chicken can be thrown away with the meat.

Of course, sometimes even bones may not be left.

However, as they scrambled for it, everyone sensed something was wrong.

Isn't there only one navy man at this table? Why does it feel like there is one more?

At first, no one took it seriously and thought that some navy officer had come here to steal food.

Only after a few more grabs did everyone notice that the sailor actually had the rank of brigadier general on his clothes.

Commodore! You know, in the entire West Sea, the highest naval governor is only at the rank of Commodore at this time.

So, everyone slowly stopped fighting for food and looked at the Commodore.

This person was Xia Zheteng. While everyone else had stopped eating, he was still eating with big mouthfuls of food.

Only after he had eaten the last chicken leg did he pick his teeth with a toothpick and said, "Oh, I have to say, the food at Branch 82 is really good."

"Who are you?" Motage had never seen Xia Zheteng, but he had some guesses in his mind.

"Governor Xia Zheteng of the West Sea, Colonel Motaige, this is quite interesting. Can pirates eat at the same table?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Motai jumped up and saluted.

However, Shu Erfeng and other pirates looked at each other, then several of them quickly stood up and ran outside.

They are familiar with the people from Branch 82, but not with Xia Zheteng.

The reason why he chose to escape instead of resisting was because if the 82nd branch here attacked the Governor of the Navy, the final blame would definitely fall on his brother.

So, run if you can.

"Oh, we can't let you run away. I still have something to ask you." Xia Zheteng turned his head to look at the fleeing Charge Pirates, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Shave. Xia Zheteng, who was originally sitting at the table, appeared on the escape route of several pirates the next second.

"Damn it! Let's fight him." The pirates drew their swords.

"No..." Shu Erfeng roared loudly, trying to stop his men from doing anything rash.

Bang, bang, the pirates fell to the ground. No one saw how Xia Zheteng threw the punch. All they knew was that as soon as his figure flashed, the pirates fell down with foam at the mouth.

"So strong." Only Motage narrowed his eyes, the Governor, Brigadier General Xia Zheteng.

Motage knew someone at the headquarters and had heard of Xia Zheteng. He was told that he was very powerful, but that was just talk.

Now it seems that this is not a very strong thing, it is super strong.

While he was thinking, Shu Erfeng was the only one left at the scene, and Xia Zheteng had already stood in front of Shu Erfeng.

Shu Erfeng took a deep breath and had no choice but to fight.

"Charge Fruit, Bull Butt."

Chapter 24 Where the Fortified Fruit Holder Goes

Shu Erfeng's muscles began to change, and the powerful muscle strength was so strong that his clothes burst.

As Shu Erfeng charged forward, his entire body was wrapped in the power of the fruit, and the front of the impact turned into a huge rhinoceros head.

Xia Zheteng also scratched his head, thinking that the bull was a buffalo or a bison, but it turned out to be a rhinoceros.

I have to say that the impact of a rhino is indeed very powerful.

But it depends on who it is.

Seeing the rhinoceros rushing towards him, Xia Zheteng stretched out his hand and grabbed the rhinoceros's horn with one hand.

Boom, with a huge impact force, the energy was dispelled and rushed to the left and right sides of Xia Zheteng, and then exploded behind him.

All the tables and chairs in the cafeteria were overturned.

It has to be said that the opponent's impact force was really strong. Even Xia Zheteng was knocked back a few steps, but he finally stopped the rhino steadily.

"Not bad. Most people can't defend against this kind of impact, but that's it."

As he said that, Xia Zheteng punched the rhino directly on the head.

Bang! The rhino flew backwards and turned into a human-shaped figure with its sword standing upright.

"It hurts, it hurts, how is that possible? If I transform into a bull-punching form, my defense will also be improved. It's impossible for me to be hurt."

Shu Erfeng shouted depressedly.

Motaige didn't dare to move, but looking at Shu Erfeng's appearance, he could only remind him lightly: "That's the brigadier general. His strength is not something you can resist."

Shu Erfeng was also stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xia Zheteng in horror.

"Try again, charge, pig rush."

The ability of the fruit was activated again, and this time, it turned into a wild boar.

Xia Zheteng shook his head. It was the same no matter which form it was.

You have to know that I have used the domineering power of armed color. It is impossible for me to be knocked over by a collision.

He charged again, but this time, his attack was blocked again.

"Go back." With a kick, Shu Erfeng flew backwards and spit out blood when he landed on the ground.

It was obvious that the blow had caused him internal injuries.

Xia Zheteng slowly walked towards the other party.

"Damn it, I have nothing to say after being caught by you, but this is none of my brother's business."

I have to say that Shu Erfeng is a good person. At least he is still defending his brother.

Motage didn't say anything either. He knew that it would be useless for him to say anything more at this moment, as he was caught red-handed.

"None of this is important. You should know where Jiancheng Kaman is, right? Tell me where he is."

"Jiancheng Kaman?" Shu Erfeng didn't understand. He had been caught, so why was the other party asking about Jiancheng Kaman.

Could it be that he wanted to capture the biggest pirates in the West Sea? This was not impossible. With his strength, he should be able to do it.

Xia Zheteng was not in a hurry, he just looked at Shu Erfeng indifferently.

This guy has never killed civilians since he became a pirate, so for Xia Zheteng, catching him or not is secondary.

"The fortified city of Kaman has been near the island of Omyak, as if waiting to do something." There was no other way, the defeated Shu Erfeng had to tell the truth.

"Oh, he's near Branch 113. What is he going to do?" Xia Zheteng narrowed his eyes. "Is he going to enter the Grand Line?"

"That's impossible. I almost entered the Grand Line last time, but that damned Kaman and the commander of that branch hijacked me. That's why I failed. Otherwise, I would have become a great pirate of the Grand Line."

Shu Erfeng was obviously very concerned about what happened last time and he even pointed it out specifically, especially when talking about the commander of Branch No. 113.

Hmm? Xia Zheteng was moved.

The previous commander was Ge Duer, that stupid guy who just rushed forward. He joined forces with Kaman? Something was wrong.

There must be some conspiracy, but Xia Zheteng really couldn't figure out what it was.

However, I can go back and check, Xia Zheteng thought to himself.

He will not go back as a rear admiral, otherwise he will have to meet those Celestial Dragons. It is already very good that Xia Zheteng did not kill them.

Thinking of this, Xia Zheteng walked out.

"Captain Motage, take them to prison, and you will escort them to the Admiralty in person."

"This..." Motage didn't understand.

However, when Xia Zheteng walked up to him, he whispered two words. No one else heard these two words, only Mo Taige heard them.

Finally, his eyes widened and his breathing became heavy.

"Yes." Motage saluted towards Xia Zheteng's back.

Xia Zheteng ignored him and slowly walked out of the cafeteria.

He got on his boat and headed for Omyak Island, all the while thinking about the problem this time.

The brothers Shu Erfeng and Mo Taige are quite interesting, so Xia Zheteng actually let them go.

Otherwise, if the matter is investigated, Motage will certainly be punished, and Shu Erfeng will probably also be imprisoned in a huge underwater prison.
