But Xia Zheteng is an exception. Although Xia Zheteng is only a major general now, his strength is outstanding and Zhan Guo can't do anything to him.

"It's okay, but I definitely won't be able to recover in the short term."

"That's good. It's not in vain to save him. What about the other boy?"

"Drake, he's not bad either. He's currently undergoing training and is an excellent young man who wants to join the navy."

Xia Zheteng nodded, this guy Decree really has something.

The people from the Navy Sword, after going undercover in Kaido's place, have completed their mission brilliantly and their strength is not weak either.

You know, in the Hundred Beasts Group, anyone who can become one of the Flying Six is ​​not an ordinary person.

"By the way, have you forgotten something?" Zhan Guo suddenly changed the subject and looked at Xia Zheteng and said.

Xia Zheteng shrugged. "Forgot something? No, I didn't. Didn't I do everything you asked me to do very well?"

"What are you going to do? The red-haired guy who stole the devil fruit, what are you going to do with him? Why is there no movement at all?"

"Oh, you're talking about that." Xia Zheteng scratched his head, "The devil fruit should have been eaten. As for Red Hair, we already know that he should be in Windmill Village in the East China Sea now."

Ka! There was a sound of someone biting his hand nearby.

Xia Zheteng turned his head and saw that Garp was eating the senbei so fast that he bit his hand.

"Haha, Vice Admiral Garp, you wouldn't do that, would you?"

Garp stared at Xia Zheteng and said, "You mean, he went to Windmill Village? What did these pirates do in Windmill Village?"

"It's nothing, it just planted the seed of becoming a pirate in a boy's heart."

Xia Zheteng said calmly, that was indeed the case, because seeing the free and easy attitude of pirates, King Luffy finally chose the path of a pirate.

Of course, I don’t know whether Tuo has learned it or not, but Sa has learned it 100%.

Cap stood up suddenly and shouted, "I want to go back to Windmill Village."

"Come back here." Zhan Guo rushed forward and grabbed Garp. "The situation in the New World is unclear now, so you can't leave for the time being. Also, Major General Xia Zheteng, go to the East China Sea Windmill Village immediately. No matter what, Red Hair robbed the devil fruit, and he must give us an explanation."

Xia Zheteng shrugged and said, "Even if you didn't tell me, I would have gone there. There are a few people I want to meet. They may be useful in the future."

After leaving Marinford, Xia Zheteng found another small boat and went out to sea alone again.

In Sengoku's office, Garp chewed senbei angrily, not wanting him to go back. What if Red Hair led his grandchildren astray? They were all going to be navy men.

He glanced at Zhan Guo. Was there something going on when Xia Zhe Teng was sent out? He felt that Zhan Guo was planning something again.

Xia Zheteng came to the East China Sea. This was a very simple task for the navy; all he had to do was cross the doldrums.

Besides, even without seastone, Xia Zheteng can still cross the doldrums with his own strength.

Windmill Village in the East China Sea, the small village where Luffy was born.

To be honest, this place is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

There are many strong people who have come out of the sea.

The navy hero Garp, the revolutionary Dragon, the great pirate, and later the Four Emperors Luffy.

Of course, he is now just an ordinary kid who wants to eat the rubber fruit.

As for Ace, Xia Zheteng didn't want to see him this time.

The reason why he wanted to save Ace was, on the one hand, that he really liked him, and on the other hand, his own team, with its current members, was still lacking a member with strong pioneering spirit.

Tianyueshi is suitable for rear-line stability, Tiger, who is already on the list, is suitable for underwater combat, little Rami will become a doctor in the future, and there are a few people who want to be taken back later, but most of them are rear-line workers.

A guy with a pioneering spirit is indispensable. Ace is a good example. However, this guy must go through a beating at sea before he can really secure this position.

Of course, I came here with the intention of meeting Long again.

The power of the revolutionary army is also needed, but there are some things that even Long is better off not knowing.

When I entered the village, the first person I saw was the village chief, Slap. News in the village spread quickly. As soon as Xia Zheteng landed, someone ran to tell the village chief.

Slap was very depressed because pirates entered the village a few days ago. If the navy came again at this time, would there be a fight in the village?

He didn't want the village to be destroyed.

"Mr. Navy, Windmill Village is a peaceful village. I hope you won't start a war in Windmill Village. Oh, and this is also Mr. Garp's hometown. I think you should know him."

The village chief, Slap, is a good one.

Xia Zheteng also showed a warm smile and said, "Don't worry, I met Vice Admiral Garp before I came here. If he hadn't happened to have a mission, I might have come back with him."

Slap felt relieved, this was the best.

Soon, Xia Zheteng arrived at the banquet bar in Windmill Village.

The bar was bustling. When Xia Zheteng pushed the door open, he found people toasting to celebrate.

Xia Zheteng saw Straw Hat Shanks at a glance. Yes, the straw hat at this time still belonged to Shanks, covering his red hair.

And next to the red-haired boy stood a young man, who was none other than King Luffy who had not yet grown up.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the pirates in the room all turned around to look.

Navy? Why is the navy here? How can we deal with it?

The room suddenly became quiet.

Chapter 103 Frost Moon Village

Xia Zheteng ignored the pirates in the room and walked forward to the bar.

"A beer, please."

Makino nodded, but looked at Xia Zheteng with some worry. The tavern is full of pirates now. Is it really okay for you to come in wearing this?

"Ah, it's you, you bastard." Shanks jumped up first and came in front of Xia Zheteng.

"Damn it! Last time you were the ones bullying the few, but this time you fell into my hands, right?"

"Oh, I see. But speaking of which, do you want to fight in the hometown of the hero Garp? I'd really like to give it a try."

Xia Zheteng ignored him completely and just looked at the busy Makino calmly. She was a homely beauty, kind and gentle. In terms of personality alone, she was much better than Empress Hancock.

"Kid, what are you looking at?" Shanks' words sounded a bit sour.

Xia Zheteng just smiled. He just wanted to verify what the relationship between this woman and Red Hair was. After all, Makino was holding a baby later.

"Wait, you said this is Garp's hometown?"

"do not you know?"

The red-haired man didn't say anything else. If that was the case, it would not be a good idea to take action here.

"Hey, hey, are you talking about me wanting to be a pirate now?" Wang Luffy next to him took over the conversation.

Xia Zheteng then looked at Luffy. He hadn't eaten the fruit yet. There was no interest in Luffy who couldn't grow taller.

Red Hair went to tease Luffy. For him, there was no need to argue with Xia Zheteng about whether to fight or not.

Bang, the door was kicked open, and Xia Zheteng immediately became interested.

So he shrank into an inconspicuous corner.

Because the person who came could be said to be the most powerful among the pirates, he was the famous Bandit King... Sig.

A big bandit with a bounty of 800 million berries dared to splash wine all over Red Hair. Even Whitebeard had never done this.

Sure enough, after a while, the red-haired guy was sitting on the ground picking up broken glass with alcohol all over his body.

"You know what? I've killed fifty-six people, all guys like you."

Xia Zheteng really wanted to applaud Xige, he was really awesome.

Although the bounty on Red Hair was stopped by the Seven Warlords of the Sea at this time, after he stole the Rubber-Gum Fruit, this guy's bounty had reached 10 billion Baileys, which is about the same price as the average vice-captain of the Emperor.

Xige, reward of eight million, first-level wanted criminal, kill fifty-six... uh, deputy emperor?

Seeing that the red-haired man did not resist, Sig probably felt that there was no point, so he called him a coward and left.

Then there was laughter all over the room.

Laughter is contagious, even Xia Zheteng started laughing.

"Oh, there is no place for Sig in the navy. It's really a waste of talent. If he were here, all the royal vice-chairmen would die, right?"

Are there fifty-six royal vice-princes worth one billion in the whole sea?

After he said this, the members of the Red Hair Pirates laughed even more happily. Only they knew what Xia Zheteng meant.

And Wang Luffy was very angry. Aren’t you pirates? Why don’t you resist?

Then, when Luffy's arm was stretched, Xia Zheteng flashed in front of Luffy's arm and flicked it hard twice.

It feels really good, and the rubber product has a nice feel.

The pub was naturally in chaos.

However, Xia Zheteng had already walked out of the tavern. Okay, now that he had met the people here, it was time to find other team members.

"Hey, are you interested in playing another game?"

Behind him, the red-haired man called out to Xia Zheteng.

Xia Zheteng glanced back at the red-haired man and said with a smile, "Don't mention me. Mihawk will not be interested in fighting you in the future. Let's go."

Watching Xia Zheteng leave, Shanks also raised his eyebrows: "What a strange guy, I thought he came here specifically to get the fruit back."

East China Sea, Seimo Shiki Village, also known as Shimotsuki Village.

Xia Zheteng, who came here, was dressed in a different style. He appeared in the East China Sea.

But so far, no one knows about this.

Isshin Dojo in Seimo Shiki Village.

Xia Zheteng looked at this not-so-big gym and smiled slightly. A famous swordsman actually lived in seclusion here.

Of course, Shimotsuki Koshiro has never taken action, and his specific strength is unknown. Some people speculate that he can be comparable to Fujitora.

However, Xia Zheteng has his own considerations. Shimotsuki's strength is probably similar to that of the Nine Red Scabbards, but it is probably not enough to be on par with Fujitora.

When entering the Isshin Gym, the first thing you see is a group of young men practicing ordinary sword swings.

To be honest, these people's later achievements were very mediocre, and it seems that few of them became famous at sea.

On the other side, a young man was practicing his three-sword style, hitting the target again and again, as if he wanted to use all his strength.

What a little Zoro, he looks much cuter now.

Xia Zheteng also looked at Sauron.

Zoro seemed to have sensed something and looked at Xia Zheteng. When he saw the knife on Xia Zheteng's waist, Zoro's eyes lit up.

That was a real sword, completely incomparable to the bamboo sword in his hand.

"Are you a swordsman? Are you strong? Can you fight me?"

This guy who has a poor sense of direction has been a battle fanatic since he was young. Xia Zheteng scratched his head and didn't know what to say about him.

Koshiro just walked out, and the moment he saw Xia Zheteng, Koshiro's expression changed. This aura of a strong man, yes, the person who came to the gym was an unparalleled strong man.

Maybe I can't even beat him.

"If you want to find a goal, then aim for number one. Right now, the world's number one swordsman is Hawkeye Mihawk. If you really want to be the strongest, you have to defeat him."

Zoro stood there in a daze. He is the greatest swordsman in the world? That’s great. I must surpass him.

Xia Zheteng looked at Shimotsuki Koshiro, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I have something to ask you, Mr. Shimotsuki Koshiro."

Shimotsuki Koshiro's eyes narrowed. This person knew his name. Although it was not a secret, it was very wrong for a person wearing a mask to come.

In the quiet room, after Shimotsuki Koshiro made tea for Xia Zheteng, there was no one else around, so he asked, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Xia Zheteng handed over a piece of paper, which was his business card. It was a wanted poster with a reward of 15 billion Baileys for an extremely evil person, Xia.

Koshiro simply glanced at the wanted poster, his expression unchanged, and looked at Xia Zheteng.

"I don't care about your identity. I just want to know the purpose of your visit."

"Kuina."

Koshiro's body trembled. What he cared about most right now was his daughter.
