Pirates: Improving your strength depends entirely on watching the fun!

He was very interested in hearing about things like the monk who broke his vows on the Sky Island and went to Qinghai, and about the new world.

Only at last, when all the food was served, did Obira ask, "Did you come here for something?"

"Indeed, I am here to see Sauro."

Obila's hand holding the knife and fork suddenly paused, and he looked at Xia Zheteng with confusion in his eyes.

"He used to be a vice admiral in the navy. When he was a lieutenant admiral, I was only a brigadier general, so I was considered his junior. But I came to see him this time for another reason. One of his friends wanted something from him."

Xia Zheteng felt that there was nothing to hide when he arrived at the Giant Tribe. Except for Vegapunk's identity, he should be able to tell everything else.

Obila nodded and said, "I see, one of his friends."

"It seems that you know Lieutenant General Sauro. Can you tell me where he is?"

"I know him, but he's been very difficult to talk to after he got hurt."

Xia Zheteng shrugged. This was understandable. After all, he was first frozen by his good friend Kuzan and then burned. It would be strange if he had a good temper.

To be honest, if Vegapunk hadn't mentioned that the giants took away those books, Xia Zheteng might not have thought of this former giant lieutenant general.

"Don't worry, I'm not an enemy. If I really wanted to catch him, I wouldn't come here alone." Xia Zheteng said while eating.

Obila also thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's go together tomorrow."

"Isn't he on the island?"

"I'm here too. Not really, but it's quite special anyway. Just follow me."

Xia Zheteng had no choice but to nod.

After staying at Obira's house for one night, the two set off early the next morning.

When they arrived at the port, Xia Zheteng got on his own small boat, but Obila did not use the boat and went directly into the sea.

In ordinary coastal areas, he can just walk directly.

Obira went straight into the sea and walked around the island.

Xia Zheteng followed in the boat.

After going around half of the island, they saw the connection between this island and another small island. When they got there, Obila stopped and said, "Follow me closely."

Changing direction, Obila walked towards that direction.

Xia Zheteng looked over there and saw that it was all foggy. They were about to enter the Countercurrent Reef area. He never expected that Sauro would be in such a place?

Soon, Obila's feet could no longer walk on the seabed, and he floated up.

"The ocean here has great buoyancy, so the giants can swim here. On the contrary, it would be very troublesome to use boats."

Come to think of it, the giants' ships are generally large, and if they are sailing in this upstream reef sea full of reefs, the possibility of collision is very high.

That's why these guys don't drive the boat. It turns out this is the reason.

"However, Sauro is different. He is the only giant who can sail away from the Reef Sea so far. He is very powerful."

Xia Zheteng nodded. Sauro was a veteran vice admiral. He was with Kuzan, Sakaski and others at that time. If such a person had continued to develop in the navy, he might have been an admiral now.

Therefore, he must have his own unique skills.

Soon, the fog covered the surroundings, but Obila did not stop and signaled Xia Zheteng to follow.

Xia Zheteng also had to be more careful now, as Obila in front of him had obviously slowed down.

After passing a reef, a huge black shadow appeared in front of us.

That should also be a reef, but it is so big that it looks like a small island.

When Obila swam here, he stopped.

There was actually a boat tied to the edge of the reef. The hull was very large and it was obvious that it was a super large ship that only giants could use.

Looking upwards, this reef is at least over a hundred meters high.

As for the top, it was difficult to see what was going on there because of the thick fog.

"He's up there, so I won't go up there. Normally, he'd get very excited when he sees us, which wouldn't be good. You go up there by yourself."

Xia Zheteng glanced at Obila. This giant from the West Sea was rare and easy to talk to. He was also very simple. He seemed not afraid of a fight between the two of them.

And he was let off just like that. I really don’t know what to say about him.

Perhaps seeing Xia Zheteng's doubts, Obila said: "Your eyes tell me that you are telling the truth. I think Sauro should be happy to see you."

After Obila finished speaking, he slowly swam away.

Xia Zheteng looked at Obila's back and smiled. The giants have their own way of identification, which shows their trust in themselves.

But it’s also good. All that’s left is to climb up.

Chapter 242: Not Taking Danger Seriously

It is actually not difficult to reach a height of about one hundred meters. Xia Zheteng flew up directly using the Moon Step.

Soon they reached the top of the reef, and Xia Zheteng discovered that the space up there was quite large.

What's more important is that the top of this reef must have been deliberately modified by someone. In addition to a wooden house in the middle, there is also a field.

The fields were all cultivated, and a path led from the edge directly to the cottage in the middle.

In the hut, a tall figure suddenly sat up when Xia Zheteng climbed to the top of the reef.

At this time, his whole body was wrapped in bandages, and his face under the bandages had a solemn look.

"He's a master." After saying that, Sauro slowly stood up and walked outside.

Xia Zheteng was already standing outside the wooden house, but he did not go in. His observation Haki also allowed him to sense that someone had come out of the house.

So just wait here.

Soon, a huge figure opened the door. When Sauro saw the person outside, his brows furrowed. The boy in front of him looked familiar.

"Hello, Lieutenant General Sauro."

"Sauro is dead, and I am just an ordinary giant."

"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

"I think there is no reason to welcome you here." Sauro was alert and looked at Xia Zheteng with a calm tone.

Xia Zheteng shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is not good for the younger generation, Lieutenant General Sauro. After all, when you were a lieutenant general, I was still a brigadier general, and it was me who was guarding the West Sea at that time."

Sauro was also stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something and said, "Are you Brigadier General Xia Zheteng, the then Governor of the West Sea?"

"it's me."

"Oh, I've heard of you too. Come in." Sauro turned around and walked into the house.

Soon, the two men sat down in the hall of the house. Sauro took out the wine and poured a bowl for Xia Zheteng, and then he took the huge wine barrel.

"I've heard of you. You were on Sakaski's ship when O'Hara got into trouble."

"Indeed, but there was no other way for me. At that time, I did not have the ability to rescue O'Hara."

Sauro frowned and said, "Do you think you have the ability now? But what's the use? After all, O'Hara has been completely destroyed."

"Not necessarily." Xia Zheteng knew that the reason why Sauro was still talking to him was just because he wanted to know the situation outside. In addition, because of his identity and the help he had given to O'Hara at that time, he let him in.

Otherwise, I believe Sauro would not pay any attention to me at all.

But it doesn't matter. I believe Sauro will change his mind as long as I tell him the reason.

"Oh, I haven't told you why I came here. I need you to provide me with something. And I'm not the one who needs you. I'm just here to pass on the message."

Xia Zheteng took a sip of wine and explained his purpose.

"You need something from me? That's interesting. I've already left the Navy. What else does the Navy need me to do?"

"You just left the navy, not this sea?" Xia Zheteng said with a smile, "Also, although the people who commissioned me are also members of the World Government, they are also outside the World Government."

Sauro didn't say anything, just drank his wine and waited for Xia Zheteng to explain.

"Vegapunk."

Sauro's hands trembled and some of the wine spilled, but he calmed down and said, "Vegapunk, what does he want from me?"

"O'Hara's collection of books. He saw with his own eyes that there were giants on O'Hara Island who collected all the books."

Sauro stared at Xia Zheteng, as if he wanted to see whether his words were true or false, but in the end, he gave up. Xia Zheteng looked at him with indifference.

"Vegapunk."

"He's on Egghead Island now. If you're worried, why don't you go check it out yourself? He hasn't left here for a long time, right? If that's the case, I suggest you go out for a walk."

"If I go out like this, maybe..."

"Don't worry. The situation on the sea has changed a lot. In the New World, the new Four Emperors have emerged. The Navy has been held back by a new organization, Xia, so the Navy's voice in the New World has been reduced to the extreme. And in the West Sea, the recent actions of the Revolutionary Army will mobilize the Navy's attention. It's a good time for you to go out now. By the way, I can bring you something back. I think you should learn more about the situation outside."

Sauro didn't say anything, but just took a long breath and said, "Looking at your military uniform, you are also a vice admiral of the navy now, right? Why do you want to help me?"

"It's true that I'm a vice admiral of the navy, but I also have my own persistence. Some time ago, I refused the promotion to admiral. I don't want to become a dog of the Celestial Dragons and have to fight to protect them."

Sauro uttered an "oh" and then calmed down.

"Besides, there's no need for me to lie to you. After all, I can come here. If I really want to bring someone in, I can do it. If I want to catch you, there's no need to go through such a big detour."

"That does make sense. In that case, I'll go out and take a look."

"That's a good idea. Oh, by the way, let me tell you something. Robin hasn't really found her partner yet, but she should be soon. If you have the chance, pay attention to her."

When Sauro heard Robin's name, he was stunned for a moment, and then he let out his unique "thunderous" laugh.

This laughter was somewhat magical. Xia Zheteng rubbed his ears.

"You actually know her too?"

"Not really an acquaintance. I knew Dr. Clover more. To be honest, I really wanted to save him, but at the time, I was powerless."

Sauro looked at Xia Zheteng for a long time, and suddenly said: "When the navy attacked, I was on that island. I remember that Dr. Clover said at the time that there was someone who could interpret the historical text. That person, could it be you?"

"Well, that's not certain." Xia Zheteng also laughed, then drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and then said, "Whether it's me or not, the World Government has never stopped searching for O'Hara's survivors over the years."

"So it's still dangerous to go out." Sauro looked into the distance through the window of the house. However, although he said this, his tone clearly showed that he did not take the danger seriously.

Chapter 243: Xia's Target

When following Sauro out of the countercurrent reef, Xia Zheteng finally understood what violent aesthetics was.

Whenever the huge ship was about to collide with the reef, Sauro would use his extraordinary strength to stand between the reef and the ship, and then forcefully separate them.

Only a large ship like his can withstand such a huge force; ordinary ships cannot.

Xia Zheteng was sitting at the bow, speechless. Some of the giant crew members on the ship were not surprised.

It was also the first time for Xia Zheteng to sit on a giant's ship, and his own small boat was pulled directly onto the big ship and placed aside, looking like a toy.

Xia Zheteng seemed very frustrated. Being with the giant, this feeling of oppression was really uncomfortable.

It took more than an hour to sail out of the countercurrent reef sea.

Once out of this sea area, all the giants actually used long oars to row the ship manually, allowing the ship to completely escape from the backflow sea area of ​​the countercurrent reef sea.

Only giants have such extraordinary strength and can do such a thing, right?

Ordinary ships coming out of the upstream reef sea will be swept back again.

"Lieutenant General Xia Zheteng, I will leave now. If everything goes well this time, you must come to my place next time you come to Niliu Reef."

"This is inevitable, but I think the possibility of entering the giants' territory again is not high. After all, there is nothing important."

"Dieleixi, the boat has been put into the sea. We will take our leave now. Lieutenant General Xia Zheteng, I hope we will not become enemies in the future."

"Probably not." Xia Zheteng just smiled bitterly. At this time, he probably would have to leave the navy in a while.

After all, Xia’s identity is becoming increasingly difficult to hide.

After parting ways with Sauro, Xia Zheteng drove the boat and prepared to go to the new world. When he got there, he handed the information he had on hand to Vegapunk's so-called diving device, and he would have nothing to do. He had to improve his physical fitness before going somewhere else to see the excitement.

With an idea in mind, Xia Zheteng changed direction and headed towards the new world.

However, just as they entered the Grand Line, the Den Den Mushi started ringing.

"Hey, is there something wrong again?" Xia Zheteng asked.
