Alone and Infinite

They originally thought that the newly arrived commander of the G188 branch had already amassed enough wealth to enjoy himself after arresting more than 3,000 people.

Before long, he will be like the Navy before him, bribed with money by these scumbags and become one of them.

After all, this wasn't the first time such an incident had occurred, and each time it plunged the residents who were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the navy into greater disappointment, and even despair.

Therefore, these residents no longer trust the navy at all.

Until these naval officers posted notices that those scum who had escaped punishment countless times would be executed en masse!

All of them shall be executed!

At first, the residents still didn't believe it, but as the marines began to build the platform, slight loosening began to appear.

Maybe this time it's for real?

Perhaps this time, the navy that came is truly worthy of the justice they uphold?

Gradually, the entire island fell into a kind of pre-storm oppressive atmosphere, as if something was gathering within it.

And it grew increasingly intense, like a raging fire.

That was a longing for light.

In this atmosphere, Li Xia had already quietly left Jaya Island.

The conspicuous naval uniform had been put away, and he had changed into casual clothes. He was flying at high speed above the clouds towards the distance.

The gravity in the world of One Piece is very low, so people here are all quite tall, and even flying techniques require less effort.

Most importantly, for some reason, this world has no air power!

They all rely on their individual skills to fly.

Li Xia would occasionally stop to check the direction; the permanent pointer was trembling slightly, pointing downwards.

This world doesn't have very advanced navigation technology; it can only rely on the island's own magnetism to record coordinates.

The permanent pointer in Li Xia's hand points to the Kingdom on the Bridge!

That is, the final destination of the thousands of prisoners that Tina transported.

Seven hundred years ago, the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, suddenly issued an order to build a bridge connecting the entire East Blue.

So the World Government sent people and criminals from countries that refused to join it to the World Government, enslaving them and forcing them to work hard building bridges every day.

They worked themselves to death on the construction site; this place was even more terrifying than Impel Down.

"Boss, have we arrived?"

Suddenly, a message appeared in the team channel, changing from voice to text due to the increased distance.

"not yet."

Li Xia casually shattered the clouds and looked down through the hole. The Red Earth Continent looked like a huge scar running through the entire ocean.

Clearly, he hasn't even reached the Red Earth yet.

"So far? Isn't it said that the world of One Piece is much smaller than Earth?"

Awoo was taken aback. It remembered that the researchers had argued that the world of One Piece was only 1/64th the size of Earth.

"They used the speed of ancient sailing ships to calculate the equatorial circumference. How can this be trusted?"

Let's not even talk about how the sailboats in One Piece are completely different from the sailboats in the world of Earth.

The low gravity environment here alone makes the ship run much faster than on Earth.

"Okay, the news bird delivered the newspaper today, which carried news about Alabasta."

It is said that Marine Headquarters Captain Smoker uncovered the plot of Shichibukai Crocodile and saved the Alabasta Kingdom.

"Have the Straw Hat crew already completed the Alabasta incident?"

Li Xia frowned; judging from this, time was running out.

Although the anime seems to take a long time, in reality, Monkey D. Luffy's journey from setting sail to the Marineford War is completely over.

To deliver a message to our partners two years from now, which is about 180 days, or half a year!

Alabasta's next stop is Jaya Island (the Sky Island), and at their speed, they might arrive in four or five days.

Time is running out.

"I understand. Keep a close eye on the area, especially around the salvage company's location."

Li Xia took a deep breath, activated his Flying Dance Technique again, and charged straight towards the Kingdom on the Bridge.

"Hey, Kella! Look at that person, doesn't he look like Xia?"

In the only town of the Bridge Kingdom, Barney, disguised as a vendor, suddenly asked in a low voice.

Kella, who was staring blankly at the empty space below, listlessly doing hard labor, quickly turned around:

"Xia? How is that possible? Wasn't he already missing? Even Uncle Terry couldn't find him."

Kerla, who had also joined the revolutionary army at a young age, certainly remembered that taciturn man.

After her sudden disappearance, Kerla missed him for a while and even went to ask Terry, an intelligence officer in the Revolutionary Army, about him many times.

But as time goes by, it gradually fades from memory.

Only at a certain moment or at a certain time will past events suddenly resurface.

This was met with a barely audible sigh.

But when Claire actually saw the figure, her long-blurred memories suddenly became clear.

The person before my eyes gradually merges with the person in my memory.

"It really looks like him!"

Clara's breathing became slightly rapid as she stared intently at the figure, wanting to confirm things further.

Unexpectedly, the person seemed to sense her gaze and turned around immediately.

He looked in her direction and then gave her a genuine smile.

We finally found it!

Li Xia looked at the short-haired girl staring blankly at him, and the information transmitted to him by the hall matched up.

Krall, a revolutionary army cadre, is Sabo's assistant.

When confirming his location, Li Xia used the dynamic world map that provided a lot of information to refine his plan.

They focused particularly on finding the location of the Revolutionary Army, which, according to the map at the time, had gathered in the Kingdom of Santo Dorea.

This country is not far from the Bridge Kingdom of Tequila Wolf. This reminds me of the original One Piece storyline where Robin was sent to the Bridge Kingdom by Kuma and happened to encounter the Revolutionary Army that was liberating the country.

Li Xia boldly guessed that the Kingdom on the Bridge definitely had the vanguard of the revolutionary army at this time.

Because liberating a country is not an easy task; it requires extremely detailed preliminary intelligence.

The reason we didn't go directly to the Kingdom of Santo Dorea was simply to minimize complications in our subsequent interactions.

He couldn't explain how he knew the revolutionary army had liberated the Kingdom of Saint Dorrea; the news hadn't even spread yet due to the revolutionary army's strict control.

Fortunately, Li Xia was right; there were indeed revolutionaries here, and they were even old acquaintances!

In a secluded cave by the coast, a campfire crackled and burned, casting a reddish glow on the faces of the three men.

The aroma of grilled fish, mixed with the fresh scent of fruit and malt beer, is incredibly enticing.

Towns weren't the place for conversation, so after exchanging a brief greeting, the three quietly left the town.

Having found this relatively secluded spot, we finally sat down to chat.

"I was promoted to captain at the Navy Headquarters, and according to regulations, I can choose an island as my base of operations."

I arrested all the criminals on the island, and a large portion of them were sent here.

Li Xia poked at the campfire, sparks flying from it, completely ignoring the increasingly surprised expressions on the two people's faces as she continued speaking:

"So I went with the ship and escorted the prisoners over."

"You mean you've joined the Navy? And you're even a Navy Captain now??"

Clara's round eyes widened, and she almost jumped up and ran away.

Fortunately, Hani was more composed. He looked at Li Xia and said softly:

"Xia, you told us directly because—"

"Yes, it's what you think."

Li Xia nodded readily and immediately revealed that he was an undercover agent.

"Then you should even less say it, and you shouldn't acknowledge us as family!"

Hani suddenly became agitated. He stood up and earnestly said:

"Since you were sent undercover, there must be an important mission. How can you just expose yourself to us like this?"

They should pretend they don't know us! Get away from us, the farther the better!

Hani paused here, took a few deep breaths, and then said with difficulty:

"You should leave quickly. Let's pretend we never met today. When we get back, Krall and I will report to the Commander-in-Chief."

"You've requested to be imprisoned at headquarters. We won't let you out until you complete your undercover mission!"

Kella was startled, but seeing Hani's serious expression, she could only nod.

"No need for that, Honey."

Li Xia smiled and waved, then took out the golden-brown, fragrant grilled fish and distributed it to Kela and Hani.

Ignoring the fact that the grilled fish was still very hot, I took a bite, and my mouth was immediately filled with the unique flavor of the sea fish.

"When Uncle Terry gave me this order, there was an additional condition."

"What conditions?"

The two took the grilled fish, but had no appetite for it. They simply held it in their hands, looking at Li Xia with nervousness and seriousness.

"That is, if I think it is necessary, I can interrupt my undercover work at any time and contact the revolutionary army."

Just kidding, this undercover identity was obtained through a combination of credentials and his own title.

It is a convenience, not a burden.

If you can't switch identities flexibly, then that identity will only become a useless burden or a constraint.

The Temple of Light has its flaws, but it has one advantage: if you spend money, you will definitely get something in return!

That's why this bizarre rule exists, allowing Li Xia to switch sides and join the Revolutionary Army at any time.

Hani and Klar breathed a sigh of relief. If it was agreed upon beforehand, then there would be no problem.

But they soon understood the meaning of those words, and an even more tense atmosphere filled the small cave.

"According to what you're saying, wouldn't that mean..."

Clara swallowed hard, watching Li Xia sit cross-legged on the sand, put down the grilled fish he had finished eating, and clapped his hands.

He said it seriously and earnestly:

"Yes, this is the time I believe is necessary. I want to see the Commander-in-Chief!"

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

It was really difficult to write the foreshadowing, but I had to. I actually put a lot of thought into these chapters, but it's hard to tell.

Chapter 344 Heading to Headquarters

The firewood crackled and popped in the flames.

Under high temperatures, it gradually turned black, and as time passed, the flames turned a warm orange-yellow.

Li Xia and Hani sat by the campfire. Neither of them were talkative, but they would occasionally chat about trivial matters.

Most people simply remained silent.

The silence was broken by Koala, the energetic blond revolutionary army officer who shook the special Den Den Mushi in his hand:
