that's enough.
Whitebeard's punch was about to hit Crocodile.
"Shave." Xia Zheteng quickly came out from the side and used Shave to come in front of Crocodile.
Whitebeard grinned and said, "Marine, I guess. We've already noticed you were there, and we've been waiting for you to come out."
After saying that, he threw his fist with vibration power towards Xia Zheteng.
Xia Zheteng also punched quickly.
Ka! Two traces of space shattering appeared where Whitebeard and Xia Zheteng's fists collided.
Whitebeard was also shocked. This kind of shattering was unique to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. It was not surprising for him to use it, so why could the other party do it too?
Boom! The two vibrations collided with each other, and the space between the two people seemed to be distorted.
Although Xia Zheteng's shock ability was only unawakened, Whitebeard obviously did not use his full strength, so he actually withstood the attack.
At the same time, Xia Zheteng used the power of this punch to quickly retreat, came to Crocodile, stretched out his hand, and helped him up.
"Let's go." Supporting Crocodile, Xia Zheteng quickly headed towards the shore far away from the Moby Dick, where the navy would pick them up.
"Gulala, the magical sea, the magical ability, how could it be the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?"
Whitebeard did not pursue, but just pondered for a while.
"Dad, the warship is getting closer." Marco's voice came again.
Whitebeard then jumped onto the Moby Dick.
"let's go."
The Moby Dick started up and quickly left the battlefield. Whitebeard looked back for the last time and let out a hearty laugh.
On the shore, Ji Yuan's boat had stopped not far away. Xia Zheteng took Crocodile and used the Moon Step to board the boat.
As soon as he got on the boat, Xia Zheteng let go of Crocodile and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Still injured, Xia Zheteng felt the overwhelming power in his body. If it weren't for his own strength, he would have to lie down for a year or two after this punch.
Whitebeard was indeed too strong. He got injured even without using his full strength.
"Governor." Ji Yuan was also startled and rushed over quickly, "Ship's doctor, hurry..."
"Don't panic." Xia Zheteng stretched out his hand to stop Ji Yuan, "After fighting with Whitebeard, it's already very good to only get a few injuries like this."
"Indeed." Crocodile had also recovered some of his strength at this time, and looked at Xia Zheteng in disbelief, "That punch was incredible. You were able to defend against it, which is really powerful. But what I am more concerned about is that what you just used seemed to be the ability of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."
Xia Zheteng looked back at Crocodile, curled his lips, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Well, I can only say that it is my ability, you can't do it."
Crocodile snorted and said nothing more. In his opinion, the rear admiral in front of him was very mysterious.
"Repair his boat." After giving an order to Ji Yuan, Xia Zheteng went to the cabin of the warship to rest. Ji Yuan immediately stepped forward to support Xia Zheteng.
"Thank you very much for saving me." Crocodile stood in front of the two men. Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows and his hand was already on the hilt of Kinpila's sword.
Xia Zheteng signaled Ji Yuan to put down the knife. Now was not the time to fight with the pirates under the king, although it should be quite lively.
"Since you have such ability, then there is a fruit that is very suitable for you. Coincidentally, I have the information about this fruit."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Pull the fruit."
……
Naval ship, officers' cabin.
Xia Zheteng used Den Den Mushi to call the headquarters and told them about the battle between Whitebeard and Crocodile.
The people at headquarters didn't care at all about Crocodile's defeat.
This is a matter of attitude. You can be defeated, but as long as the King's Pirate has fought against the Four Emperors, that's enough. In this way, the King's Pirate's plan can continue to expand.
A thank you for your hard work came from the other end, and then the Den Den Mushi was hung up.
"Tsk, this old... staff officer is really smooth." Xia Zheteng originally wanted to curse the old woman, but when he saw Ji Yuan next to him, he changed his words.
Ji Yuan didn't say anything.
"Governor."
"You can just call me by my name. I am no longer the Governor of the West Sea."
"How about I join Kaji and call you boss."
"can."
"So, boss, are you going back to headquarters now?"
Xia Zheteng thought about it and decided that he should go back. The report over the phone was one thing, but it was also necessary to go back to the headquarters to explain the situation.
And if the Twitch Fruit is really as Crocodile said, then I really need this fruit.
The ability of the Chu Chu Fruit is very special. After touching the other person with your hand, you can extract everything from the other person.
Blood, internal organs, bone marrow, and even the abilities of devil fruits.
This is exactly what he needs. Xia Zheteng thought of what Princess Yiji had said before. He realized that he was indeed a little lonely and powerless on his own.
He needs a team to support him, and this team needs strength. The fruit of drawing can completely give these people strength again.
"You can give it a try." Xia Zheteng secretly noted the place in his mind. He couldn't get through now, so he had to strengthen his strength.
After exchanging punches with Whitebeard, Xia Zheteng realized that he still had some distance to go compared with the Four Emperors. Of course, it was not impossible to catch up with them.
"Let's go, Marinford. I'll trouble Jiyuan to take care of us along the way."
Ji Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Boss, there will be no problem."
On the other boat, Kake raised his brows.
"What is Jiyuan doing? He said that the boss is injured and no visitors are allowed for the time being. Can't I do the same?"
Kaji is helpless.
"Could it be that the last proposal was not good enough, so she is angry? Well, it's possible. Let's plan the next proposal."
Chapter 47 Another Mission of This Kind
Three days later, Xia Zheteng followed Ji Yuan and Kaji's ship and finally arrived at the naval headquarters Marinford. Of course, his injuries were almost healed.
It was not until the boat docked that Jiaji saw Xia Zheteng.
"Boss, I heard you were injured. Are you okay? I really wanted to go see you during these three days at sea, but Ji Yuan wouldn't let me."
Jiyuan glared at Jiaji fiercely. Why did this guy tell everything to others?
Xia Zheteng also looked back at Ji Yuan, smiled and shook his head.
Ji Yuan's mentality hasn't been right recently, but never mind, it has nothing to do with me. The important thing is to accept the task and watch the fun.
"Don't worry, it's nothing. I'll go see General Zhan Guo first." Xia Zheteng patted Jiaji's shoulder and went to Zhan Guo's office.
The Warring States office is always so lively.
At this time, Garp and He were both here, and there was also Kuzan who was looking at Garp with admiration.
When Xia Zheteng came in, Kuzan also looked up at Xia Zheteng.
After the O'Hara incident, he also heard some rumors that it was this brigadier general who made Sakaski give up opening his cryobelt, which allowed the Son of Demon to leave.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but Kuzan seems to care a lot about this brigadier general.
"You did a good job this time. I heard that you fought with Whitebeard and managed to escape unscathed."
"Just one move in the fight and I'm out of it? I was injured at that time." Xia Zheteng didn't know how the rumors on the sea could spread so quickly, and they were becoming more and more bizarre, which was very troublesome.
Zhan Guo also laughed and said, "Whitebeard has spoken personally. He admires anyone in the navy who can fight with him. It is said that he wants to recruit you as his son."
Xia Zheteng: ...
Whitebeard is good in every way except that he is addicted to having sons. This guy probably has too much fatherly love.
Forget it, you can eat melons, but it’s quite depressing when the melons get eaten by yourself.
"Well, let's talk about the new mission."
Zhan Guo and He exchanged glances, and then He said, "There is indeed a task for you, keep an eye on Moria."
"Ah? Another mission of this kind." Xia Zheteng was speechless. He was asked to keep an eye on Moria. What was there to keep an eye on that guy? To be honest, Moria was a really boring guy except for his tall stature.
Perhaps seeing Xia Zheteng's disdain, Zhan Guo said at this time: "Moria is very strong, and his fruit ability is also quite tricky. This time, I heard that he is going to challenge Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. We don't have anyone else to watch over there for the time being, so we can only send you."
Moriah challenges Kaido. At first, Xia Zheteng didn’t want to watch this fun, after all, his strength was not enough at that time.
But now, Xia Zheteng thinks that it is not a big problem. The most important thing is that Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit is also a good ability.
Moreover, two years after the Battle of Marineford, the pirates' views on fruits have changed. In the early stage, they focused on natural types, while in the later stage, they focused on mythical beasts. If they could be learned, it would be a good method.
"alright, I got it."
Xia Zheteng didn't reveal Moria's background. This guy is not as good as Lao Sha.
After all, after Crocodile was defeated by Whitebeard, he turned around and set up a studio and even recruited Robin. For Pluto, he can be said to be controlling a country behind the scenes.
In addition, when he came out of Impel Prison and saw Whitebeard again, he dared to take action, at least the other person was growing.
As for Morley, after being defeated by Kaido, until he met King Luffy, that guy didn't grow at all except for making some dead bodies.
It can be regarded as an example of reaching the peak right from the start.
Moria during this period was at his peak.
Because of its crazy will to fight and brutal killing, the World Government was forced to negotiate with it.
During the negotiations, Xia Zheteng happened to propose the navy's strategy to attack the gangs, so Moria also became one of the king's pirates at that time.
Now, this arrogant pirate is also planning to complete his strongest move, challenge Kaido, and win.
Well, he did the first things, but as for the latter things, Xia Zheteng could only say that he was overthinking it.
"By the way, if you can come back safely this time, then the major general will definitely not be able to escape, and some of the previous things should be able to be smoothed over."
Tsk, what a big pie in the sky! Xia Zheteng glanced at Zhan Guo who said this. This guy really deserves to be the successor to the marshal. He has drawn a very big pie in the sky.
After saluting and leaving the office, Xia Zheteng began to prepare.
The battle between Moria and Kaido took place in Wano Country, so you might as well go there.
According to the time, Kozuki Oden, the Daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country, who has always been the subject of people's discussions, with strong strength but lack of brain power, should be about to die.
Wait, when thinking of that silly Daimyoji, Xia Zheteng suddenly had an idea.
Just as Princess Otohime said, in this world, the power of one person is limited after all, and it is time to form an organization.
The problem is that I don’t know who to look for. Isn’t this a good choice?
Kozuki Oden, bah, that rusty-headed guy, I don't want him, although he is really strong. It is said that the permanent scars on Kaido's body were left by him.
Xia Zheteng couldn't understand why he had to dance naked for five years, given his strength, to kill the famous Black Charcoal Snake. He had to lose the support of the people before he realized that he had been deceived.
Anyway, Xia Zheteng didn't understand.
"Boss." As soon as he walked out of the door, Jiyuan and Kaji surrounded him again.
"Are you guys just so free? You just accompany me and your branch doesn't care?"
"Someone is watching. Don't worry, there will be no problem." Kaji laughed. "Besides, this time we are not acting on our own. After you sent a request for assistance to the G7 branch, we consulted with Chief of Staff Crane and sent a ship to follow up."
Xia Zheteng also understood what Zhan Guo and He meant.
It seems that the two of them want to train themselves, along with Jiyuan and Kake, to form a new iron triangle.
This is a layout to fight against the Four Emperors and other pirates.
The idea is good. After Sengoku becomes the marshal, the three generals can support the combat power of the headquarters. If he is added to the iron triangle of himself, Jiyuan and Kake, such a combination seems very stable.
However, the world is always full of uncertainties, and that one bad apple will eventually turn the ocean into a mess.
What's more, my ideas are different from theirs. I am still in the navy because it is more convenient here.
There are some things that are difficult to handle with other identities, but there is no problem with the navy.
"That's good." Xia Zheteng touched his chin. In this way, not only would his safety be guaranteed, but he could also take care of these two guys.
