"So, do you plan to let her follow Tian Yueshi or me?" Bellemel reacted quickly and asked.
Xia Zheteng just smiled and said, "Of course I will follow you. Lu Yadi is not ordinary. She has the ability to foresee the future, but it probably hasn't been developed yet. I'll leave it to you."
"Oh, if that's the case, then it really is useful to me."
Bellemel was very happy and leaned against Xia Zheteng again: "Are you worried that something will happen to me? You care about me so much and even assign me someone who can sense the future."
"What are you afraid of? I'd better hope something happens to you soon, and I will hand over the caravan to Lu Yadi." Xia Zheteng was speechless.
This bad girl, she is so old, yet she still plays these tricks.
Tian Yueshi and Lu Yadi were laughing on the side, and they seemed very happy watching Xia Zheteng's embarrassment.
After arranging Lu Yadi, Xia Zheteng drove the boat again. It was lively enough, so it was a good time to make arrangements for Tiger.
Without taking the navy's specific channel, Xia Zheteng went directly to Fishman Island and then to the New World.
As soon as he entered the new world, Xia Zheteng felt the changes in the new world.
There seems to be a very tense atmosphere here, which makes Xia Zheteng very curious. What happened in the new world?
"Pululu..." The Den Den Mushi rang and Xia Zheteng picked up the phone.
"You bastard, where have you been? I haven't been able to contact you for a long time." Zhan Guo's furious voice came from the phone.
"Haha, it's just a trip to Sky Island, that's not necessary, right?"
"Huh? You went to Sky Island?" Sengoku was also surprised. There is a legend about Sky Island, but until now, the navy has never been there.
The main reason is that there is no need for that. Sky Island has its own circulation system, and the World Government has no control over this aspect.
"What do you want from me?" Hearing Zhan Guo not saying anything, Xia Zheteng asked.
"What else do I want to talk to you about? There have been several battles in the New World recently. Red Hair has declared war on Captain John. In the New World, things are stirring up trouble. Red Hair is now aiming for the throne."
"Oh, I see. That's normal. It's obvious from the first glance that this guy is not someone who will submit to others."
"You ask me, don't I know? The problem is that once he becomes the emperor, the position of Shichibukai will be vacant. So, I have to go to Hawkeye's place."
"I understand. It will be over soon."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zheteng also understood the current situation. After a certain amount of accumulation, Shanks finally started on the road to becoming the emperor.
However, if this guy just became the emperor in an ordinary way, many people would probably be dissatisfied, so he challenged another giant in the new world, Captain John.
If he could defeat Captain John, with his power and strength, he would naturally be recognized.
Shanks is taking the route of an elite crew member, and the bounty for everyone on the crew should be quite high.
"Oh my, the most lively era is about to come, that's great, I can take this opportunity to bring out Hades, when the world's eyes are on the Four Emperors, it's time for me to act."
The boat was speeding and an island appeared in front of it. The problem was that this island was no longer as beautiful as it once was.
The thunder in the sky continued to strike, and it actually connected with the small island below.
Xia Zheteng scratched his head. This should be the Bica Island after Fishman Island. Why has it become like this now?
And those thunderclouds in the sky should be the Bika on the Sky Island.
Although I don’t know if there is any special attraction that makes the broken sky island become the new thunder island here, it gives people a very amazing feeling.
"Oh, let's take a detour. I thought I could add something here."
Xia Zheteng shook his head, turned the bow of the boat helplessly, and headed straight for the island where Tiger lived in seclusion from the other side.
Four days later, when I came to the island again, I found that a pirate flag had been raised here.
The flag with red hair and a skull with three eyes.
"Oh, this really is protected by the red-haired guy."
Xia Zheteng scratched his head. It would be a lot of fun if he met a red-haired person.
Chapter 166: The Mission to Send CP9
Fortunately, the encounter with Red Hair did not happen.
Xia Zheteng met Tiger and Aimi easily.
Tiger was also very happy when he met Xia Zheteng.
"A lot of things have happened recently. How come this place has become Red Hair's territory? If anyone is coming, it should be Kaido." Xia Zheteng asked curiously.
"Kaido was here too, but he seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with Red Hair, so he just withdrew. This place has become Red Hair's territory, but it's also good, at least no random people will come here to cause trouble."
Xia Zheteng nodded. That’s true.
"Okay, this time I'm here to give you the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit. As for the underwater operation, it's up to you. Dig out Pluto as soon as possible."
Tiger nodded and took two steps forward.
"Wait a minute." At this time, Aimi stopped Tiger.
Tiger looked at Aimieli, and Xia Zheteng was also wondering what Tiger's wife was planning.
"Let me eat the fruit. If we are in the water, you can take better care of me if I am in danger, right?" Amieli said to Tiger.
Xia Zheteng looked at Tiger. This was actually a good idea. Aimieli became a sandman, while Tiger remained in the form of a fishman. After all, Tiger's combat ability in water was far beyond that of Aimieli.
And after Aimili becomes a sandman, she might be able to exert powerful strength.
Tiger is a member of Xia, so Aimi will naturally become a member of Xia. Now it’s not bad to let her become a natural type.
Tiger pondered for a moment, looked at Xia Zheteng and said, "I think it's okay."
Xia Zheteng also nodded and said, "You two can just discuss your matters among yourselves."
As for who eats the fruit, it doesn’t really matter to Xia Zheteng.
The Sand-Sand Fruit had been copied a long time ago, so now you just need to add some points to it until it reaches the initial awakening state to extract it.
Soon, a Shasha Fruit appeared, and Xia Zheteng handed the fruit to Tiger.
Tiger finally handed it to Aimili.
After eating the fruit, Amyelli quickly mastered the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit.
But now she has only mastered it at an average level, and she needs to continue practicing.
"Leave this to us. Once we dig up Pluto, we will contact you."
Xia Zheteng nodded and said, "Don't worry. We must ensure safe excavation and don't let others find out. We have time. At least, we can delay it for a few years."
Xia Zheteng looked into the distance. At this time, Vegapunk has not yet completely created the mother flame, so there should be enough time.
"Leave it to me." Tiger laughed. When working underwater, safety is a must.
Besides, this is not Big Aunt’s World, and there are not so many buffalo monitors underwater, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.
As for the people in Wano Country, they probably won’t notice the situation here.
Xia Zheteng had dinner at Tiger's place before leaving.
Driving the small boat, the next thing to do is to complete the task at Hawkeye's side. However, for this task, you just need to go over and say a word, and everything else will be easy.
Of course, we still want to watch the fun.
"Bululu..." Another phone ring occurred.
Xia Zheteng picked up the phone helplessly.
"There is something I need you to arrange." said Zhan Guo.
"What's going on? Anyway, is there no one left in the navy? There should be a few guys in the headquarters with nothing to do at this time, right?"
The three generals should not have gone out. There should be some lieutenant generals and major generals in the headquarters. Why do they always look for me?
"You have to do this. I heard that you have been to the Seven Waters City before?"
Xia Zheteng also had a headache. He had indeed been there before and went there as a navy, but in the end it was as Xia that he got the drawings of Pluto in the Seven Water City.
Now that Zhan Guo suddenly mentioned this, could it be that the fact that he got the Pluto drawings has been exposed?
That shouldn't be the case. Mr. Tom is already dead. The only ones who know about this are Iceberg and Franky. These two people should not tell anyone about it.
"Oh, I have been there, what's wrong?"
"That's perfect. You can take a few people to the Seven Water Capital."
"When did the navy become a transport fleet? The question is, they're also sending people. What kind of people?"
"CP9 people."
Xia Zheteng frowned. CP9, wait, at this point in time, has CP9 already planned to go undercover in the Seven Water City?
And the leader of CP9 at this time should be Spandam, whose Tao power is 9.
It seemed that his face was covered with bruises after being beaten by Tom before, so it looked like a disgusting masked man.
Apart from anything else, the elephant sword in his hand is quite interesting.
This setting is actually quite interesting, but unfortunately, I don’t know if it was forgotten later or the combat power was indeed improved too much, so this weapon is no longer used.
I never saw any swords with animal fruits appear again afterwards.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. Xia Zheteng doesn’t think highly of that kind of weapon, he just finds it interesting.
Then let's go back to the Navy Headquarters first. From what Zhan Guo said, this order seems to be extremely urgent.
Xia Zheteng had no choice but to rush to the Navy Headquarters first.
Of course, it takes time to return to the Naval Headquarters from the New World.
A few days later, Marinford.
Xia Zheteng came to Zhan Guo's office.
After entering, I saw a masked man sitting on one side of Zhan Guo's office, and behind the masked man, there were seven people standing.
Among them, Lucci with a pigeon standing on his shoulder is particularly eye-catching.
Now they were all dressed very formally and had a strong aura. They looked at Xia Zheteng who walked in, with a little bit of fighting spirit, as if they were planning to compete with Xia Zheteng.
Should I throw a domineering color at them and teach them a lesson? Xia Zheteng thought to himself.
Zhan Guo could probably guess what Xia Zheteng was thinking, so he said, "Don't make trouble. This time, the order for you to come here was also issued by the World Government. You must conceal their identities and enter the Seven Water City."
"The question is, in what name? Don't tell me you're just going to walk in so brazenly. That would attract more attention, wouldn't it?"
Zhan Guo looked at Xia Zhe Teng and said, "In the name of rescue, they are from a merchant fleet that was attacked by pirates and were saved by you who happened to be passing by. They are also tired of the life of merchants and plan to settle down somewhere, so you took them to the Seven Water City."
Xia Zheteng raised his eyebrows and said, "It's strange, why me? Can't anyone do this?"
"No matter in terms of reputation or combat power, you are the best choice."
Xia Zheteng thought about it and quickly understood. It was true.
Chapter 167 This crappy mission is finally completed
In terms of reputation, Xia Zheteng is now the number one lieutenant general.
Although this title became known to others only because of Garp's concession, perhaps it is precisely because of this that there are many rumors about this title in the Grand Line and the New World.
Even ordinary people have heard of it.
Secondly, to save a merchant ship, it takes a capable person at least. If you just send a colonel, it won't be convincing.
"Don't tell me these guys are going to the Seven Waters?"
Xia Zheteng's eyes swept over the members of CP9.
These weird-looking guys, what a joke! If some of them really entered the Seven Water City, they would be recognized immediately.
"Of course not. It depends on you to negotiate with them. Anyway, my job is just to hand them over to you."
Xia Zheteng looked at Zhan Guo and said, "Comrade Marshal, did you say something wrong?"
Leave this matter to me, why are you trying to shirk responsibility?
If I didn't know a little about the plot, I might not be able to deal with it.
After taking a look at the members of CP9, Xia Zheteng scratched his head and pointed at Bruno.
"You, the merchant, the boss, the merchant ship is yours, and it was you who was robbed, but you should have some money on hand. When you get to the Seven Waters City, you have to give me half of the money, and the remaining half will be enough for you to open a small tavern."
