Boom! The light-speed kick was kicked away and exploded on the other side of the island.

Both men drew their swords at the same time and rushed towards each other at great speeds. Their powerful confrontation and dominance destroyed the cabin, and Saint Musgarud was even stuck to a tree, like a painting, and could not come down for a long time.

"So strong." Saint Musgarud also sighed in his heart. When Xia Zheteng was protecting him, nothing happened. But as soon as someone else took over, problems occurred.

This is definitely a question of strength.

I am still too young. Why should I trust a flatterer instead of someone who has ability?

People with ability will never flatter others. Remember this.

On the other side, the fight between Xia Zheteng and Lu Yadi made Lu Yadi very helpless. Only now did she realize how strong Xia Zheteng was.

Her strength has improved a lot, but she is at a disadvantage in the battle with Xia Zheteng.

"It seems that I still can't beat you." Lu Yadi said quietly during the sword fight.

"That's for sure. With your current strength, it's impossible to take revenge. Don't do anything rash." Xia Zheteng increased his strength a little more.

He also saw that Lu Yadi was eager for revenge, so this time, when the two of them fought, he didn't just act, but also added some real strength.

I just want Lu Yadi to understand that with her current strength, it is still a bit difficult to deal with Eneel, so let her calm down.

People need to keep getting stronger so that they have the chance to take revenge, instead of becoming arrogant as soon as they have a little strength, which will only lead to death faster.

Lu Yadi gritted her teeth, but finally could only sigh. She really felt that she was no match for Eneel at the moment, so she decided to wait and see.

Chapter 255 Kizaru's approach

After the last fight, both of them retreated, and Xia Zheteng looked at Lu Yadi in front of him.

"Your strength is not bad, but with your strength, if I were to use my full strength, you would have been defeated long ago. Do you have any backup plan?"

Lu Yadi, who was dressed in summer, just chuckled and said, "Of course I have a backup plan. With my ability, I can't defeat you, but if I run away, you can't catch up with me."

Having said that, Lu Yadi quickly turned into a ray of light and went away into the distance.

Watching Lu Yadi running away, Xia Zheteng did not chase after him, but just watched him leave.

"Why not chase?" Saint Musgaru asked.

"Chase? If I chase you, who will protect you? How is that major general?"

Saint Musgarude was embarrassed to say anything. What he said was true. Now there were only himself and Xia Zheteng here. If he really caught up with him, he would have no one to protect him. So, forget it and stop chasing him.

For the Tianlong people, although they have turned over a new leaf, protecting their own interests should still be their top priority.

After taking a look at Saint Musgarude, Xia Zheteng was also thinking whether this kid could succeed or not, and he should not let himself down.

Of course, sometimes life is just a gamble. If you bet right, it will be over. If you bet wrong, it will be over too.

Xia Zheteng didn't want to go over yet, so now he could only watch slowly.

"Bululu..." The Den Den Mushi rang.

He had received a call before. It was from Zhan Guo, who scolded him and asked why he left on his own since he was clearly told to follow the Celestial Dragons.

Xia Zheteng was very angry about the scolding, so he had a quarrel with Zhan Guo.

This time, Zhan Guo's voice was still very loud.

"It has been found out. The other party was taken to..."

"I have already found the person, and you just found out. That's great." Xia Zheteng just responded faintly.

"what?"

"The people have been rescued. Xia was driven away. It was not the main one, but the Xia who used the Flash Fruit. Now Musgard Saint is by my side. I will escort him back. Is there anything else?"

"You talk to me in this tone?" Zhan Guo was speechless.

"What tone do you want me to use? A rear admiral appeared in the South China Sea. In order to curry favor with the Celestial Dragons, he drove a warship to besiege the city. He neither caught pirates nor rescued civilians. He just came to flatter them, and then took the Celestial Dragons away. He was unable to protect them properly, so he put the blame on me. Is that what you mean?"

Zhan Guo was silent. When he came to report before, he could tell that something was not right about the report.

Why did the Tianlong people leave with that major general named Sute? Where is Xia Zheteng?

As a result, something happened now, and it was said that Xia Zheteng did not follow to protect the Tianlong people.

But in the end, it was Xia Zheteng who rescued the people.

Could it be that the person who reported it was hiding something?

If you think about it this way, it makes sense.

"Give the Den Den Mushi to Saint Musgard." Sengoku had no choice but to say.

After Xia Zheteng gave the Den Den Mushi to Saint Musgarde, he walked aside and said, "It depends on what you say."

Saint Musgarud was fine, at least he told the whole story without hiding anything.

When he heard that Su Te had deliberately ridiculed Xia Zheteng and prevented him from keeping up, Zhan Guo had already understood the situation. In this case, the matter in the South China Sea had to be dealt with properly.

The guy named Sute should not be dead, otherwise, no one would come to report this.

Moreover, this lawsuit not only accused Xia Zheteng, but also a group of navy officers, including the ones led by Sute.

Those people were identified as deserters who had fled from the battlefield.

The problem is, it’s okay if a few people escape, but if everyone on your ship escapes, that’s a problem.

To find out the actual situation, Zhan Guo had to check it out himself.

Den Den Mushi handed it back, and Sengoku's voice was much calmer: "Okay, you come back first, I'll take care of things over there."

"It's better to handle it properly. Otherwise, once the navy in the South China Sea feels the imbalance, it is likely to cause a greater impact."

Zhan Guo also knew that if the situation was not handled properly, and the navy here had opinions about the handling of the Navy Headquarters, then this place would become a holy land for the revolutionary army in the future.

Maybe the revolutionary army will be stationed here.

After finishing the matter here, Xia Zheteng took Saint Musgarud onto his own boat.

Although the boat was small, it was no problem for two people to sail the boat towards the naval headquarters.

Halfway through the journey, they saw a large ship, and following the ship was unexpectedly Kizaru Borsalino.

Seeing that the boat was not going very fast, it was obvious that he had received instructions from above and knew that the people had been rescued.

After bringing Saint Musgard onto Kizaru's big ship, Kizaru first said a few polite words to Saint Musgard and then had someone take him to the cabin.

"Fortunately, we managed to save the people this time. If Saint Musgard died again, our navy would have lost all face."

"Do you think you can save face by saving them? The navy of the South China Sea has lost face this time. Let's see how Zhan Guo handles it."

Huang Yuan glanced at Xia Zheteng, then smiled and said: "You look very serious, aren't you afraid that the marshal will hand over the governor here to you and let you handle it?"

"Then he must be mentally prepared for half or even more of the naval officers here to be killed."

Kizaru stopped talking. The matter of Surte seemed to be the work of one person, but in fact, there must be someone behind it.

The South China Sea is not peaceful, and if Xia Zheteng were to come, this guy might really resort to killing in order to restore order.

The sword in his hand was indeed not weak, but he could hardly bear the consequences of doing so.

Xia Zheteng just smiled coldly. Kizaru probably had another mission when he came back this time, which was to test how he would handle things here if he were the governor of the South China Sea.

Now he has got the answer, but he certainly won't let Zhan Guo appoint him just like that, that would be fatal.

Xia Zheteng didn't want to come either. Things in the New World had been done very well, and Tiger had more and more parts in his hands. It was estimated that Pluto would be able to get them soon.

Then all four people have to be transferred, and the two boatmen have to leave with them.

There are so many things to do in the new world, and I don’t want to delay.

Therefore, there is no need to be the Governor of the South China Sea. It is better to be an ordinary lieutenant general in the headquarters.

Xia Zheteng thought so, and found a recliner, lying on the deck of Kizaru's ship, and said, "I'll take a nap. Saving a person is so tiring, and I have to fight so many games."

Kizaru just smiled, entered the cabin, took a look outside, and then called Sengoku.

Let Sengoku handle this troublesome matter. Kizaru has also thought about it in his mind that it is best for him not to get too involved in this matter. Just say whatever comes to mind.

Don't really provoke Xia Zheteng, or he will come after you and fight you. It's not worth it.

Chapter 256: Give Up, Fight Back

After sailing for a few days, we arrived at Marinford. Behind here is the elevator to Mariglia. Once we get here, we will definitely be safe.

Saint Musgard said hello to Kizaru and Xia Zheteng, and prepared to go back to report. For him, this time it was a safe escape, and more importantly, a seed was planted in his heart, but as for whether it would sprout or not, Xia Zheteng didn't care.

It is important to plant plants everywhere, as you never know which seed will grow into what you want.

In Zhan Guo's office, Zhan Guo was still having a headache.

Seeing Xia Zheteng coming in, Zhan Guo's eyes lit up.

After reporting this incident, Zhan Guo nodded. Xia Zheteng's report was more truthful, and it was he who saved Saint Musgard in the end.

Zhan Guo also got confirmation from Saint Musgard, so Xia Zheteng’s problem would not be big.

So how should the navy in the South China Sea deal with it?

"Lieutenant General Xia Zheteng..."

"Don't come to me. To be honest, if it were me, I would trust the knife in my hand more. Do you have anyone who can match the South China Sea? If so, how many are there? Transfer them all to me. Maybe it's not enough. Prepare to transfer people from the headquarters."

After Xia Zheteng said this, Zhan Guo also had a headache.

"Some of them must have chosen to go along with the evil out of helplessness, and they can be treated differently."

"It's your business to differentiate between us. My sword doesn't want to differentiate between us. Since we've already gone along with the same evil, it doesn't matter whether we're helpless or not."

Xia Zheteng maintains a principle: as long as you let me go, you must be prepared. If I go, I will definitely give you a surprise, which is a lot of heads rolling.

"But there is really no one available." Zhan Guo was really helpless.

At present, each lieutenant general has his own things to do, and the admiral has to be on standby here, ready to deal with the new world or the affairs of the Celestial Dragons at any time. It is indeed difficult to assign people.

"I have a suggestion. Let's reduce the number of naval experts in the New World. After all, the Four Emperors' structure in the New World cannot be broken. So, let the people there withdraw. At least, let Kake and Gion withdraw. If the two of them go to the South China Sea, I think there will be unexpected results."

Zhan Guo began to ponder. Indeed, the New World now involves more energy, and more importantly, because of the appearance of Xia, the navy of the New World is not very active.

Not to mention the territories of the Four Emperors, I heard that Xia's merchant fleet is quite welcomed by the pirates there.

As a result, the navy was under great pressure, and they could only watch some things happen but could not do anything about it.

"But the situation over there, oh."

Zhan Guo knew that if he gave up part of the interests of the New World, it would be difficult to regain some areas of the New World in the future.

"You're thinking too much. Giving up part of the New World's territory is not necessarily a bad thing. It's saturated now. If you give up a part, someone will want to snatch it. The Four Emperors will definitely disagree and they will take action. Then it will be a fight between pirates, right?"

Zhan Guo's eyes lit up. That was true. The main reason why the New World was so peaceful now was because there was really no territory to be fought over.

Big Mom's Bank of Nations, Kaido's weapons-making power based in Wano Country, the Seven Warlords of the Sea Mingo who entered as an alliance, the territory in the hands of Whitebeard, and the place protected by Red Hair.

These places occupy a large part of the New World. Later, people like Wang Zhi and Yin Axe also had their own areas. The reason why Xia was popular was because they did not fight for territory but only did business.

They don't fight for territory because they don't want to conflict with others, but what if there is a new territory now?

The navy appeared to have withdrawn and given up some territories, but in reality, they had handed these territories over to the pirates to distribute.

If they knew how to distribute, they wouldn't fight with each other.

As long as they start fighting among themselves, then if the navy retreats, it will actually be equivalent to causing a fight among the pirates, which is desirable.

Zhan Guo also thought for a long time, and finally said: "It's not impossible to do this."

Xia Zheteng laughed and said, "Why don't we hold a meeting to hear everyone's opinions?"

Sengoku just nodded, at least wanting to listen to the opinions of the admiral, Garp, and Tsuru.

Soon, someone notified everyone at the headquarters, and they all gathered together for a meeting in the conference room.

When many people heard what Zhan Guo said about reducing the protection area of ​​the new world and releasing a part of the area, they didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"I object." Sakaski was the first to stand up and object. For him, if he wanted to eliminate the pirates, he could do it himself. Why did he have to reduce the territory and let them fight each other? That would be too troublesome.

More importantly, there is no need for this, because by then the navy of the New World would really show weakness.

"I think it's good." Kuzan and Sakaski are just the opposite.

In Kuzan's view, such a reduction would free up a lot of people in the New World, while reducing casualties among the navy and providing the navy with a buffer. This was a good idea.
