Chapter 136 New Governor of the West Sea
"Hey~ Master, we are back!~"
Gion walked with light steps into the lakeside villa surrounded by thousands of maple and locust trees.
As Gion entered the door, he saw the Red Earl making tea.
This is Xiaolou Tingyu, a famous tea from the powerful country in the West Sea - the Kingdom of Flowers. It was "presented" by the King of the Kingdom of Flowers in order to curry favor with Lex.
This was shortly after Lex ended the war.
And there is another more important reason why the Flower Kingdom took the initiative to show goodwill to Lex.
There was a rumor coming out from the Navy Headquarters today that the Governor of the West Sea will be replaced!
The original highest leader of the West Sea Navy, Vice Admiral Putres, is over 80 years old. In addition, when Rocks was alive, he left hidden injuries in the New World, so he cannot serve until the official age of , so he has reached the retirement age.
and--
Vice Admiral Putres will retire with the treatment of a Navy Admiral!
Of course, not every lieutenant general has this kind of treatment.
First of all, Vice Admiral Putres is an elite veteran who followed the Navy Marshal Cyborg Sora to conquer the New World, fighting the villains with punches and kicks, and on the line between life and death.
So after he was injured, he was arranged by his old boss, Kong Kong, to be the governor of the West Sea.
Generally speaking, the military rank of the highest person in charge of the four seas does not need to be so high.
But Putres came to Xihai for retirement and to accumulate some "merits".
And this "accumulated merit" was really accumulated by the veteran Putres.
Last year, that is, in the year 1489 of the Haiyuan calendar, Yanban Island in the West Sea was brutally massacred by pirates!
There were few survivors on the entire island. Such a thing happening in the West Sea was actually Putres's dereliction of duty.
But, I never expected——
The willows are dark and bright.
Putres was surprised to find that among the remaining survivors, there was a 7-year-old boy named Enelu (seven years old at that time, eight years old now).
He is the user of the Nature-Type Thunder Fruit!
This time, a great achievement has been made!
Putres has heard that the Thunder Boy has been sent to the CP secret base for intensive training and has almost been designated as the next chief!
This is a real achievement! It greatly makes up for the CP gap after the former CP General Zero was killed by Lex.
Therefore, the Five Elders took this reason into consideration and agreed to Cyborg Sora's request to allow Lieutenant General Putres to retire with the rank of admiral!
And the new governor of the West Sea——
Persis!
Yes, it’s the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Persis!
Normally speaking, a military officer of this rank would never be in charge of Xihai. Putres's case is special and he is here to retire internally.
And what about Persis?
He came to Xihai voluntarily!
Although Cyborg Sora was confused, he agreed considering that the man was always conscientious.
After all, among the four seas, the West Sea has the most of the former, and it is also a super chaotic sea area.
Unlike the East China Sea across the way, because Dog-headed Garp "often goes home to visit", there are only a few big cats and small cats left.
As for the West Sea, it is a place where heroes fight for supremacy.
Only an elite lieutenant general like Persis has the power to intimidate the villains.
The first thing Persis did when he arrived at the West Sea was
Just start working on it with great force!
Generally speaking, a new official will make three big moves upon taking office, but they are usually just for show.
Because there is no mass base.
But Persis is different!
He succeeded in everything he did!
Unexpectedly successful!
All the forces that stood in his way disappeared overnight.
The Flower Kingdom, the most powerful country in the West Sea, sensed that something was wrong.
Immediately start gathering information with all your strength.
This collection is incredible.
Found a man!
In other words, a certain man deliberately let countries like the Flower Kingdom find it.
Leon Lex!
This name, which is like the sun and represents the peak power of this sea, actually appeared in the eyes of the kings of the West Sea!
The leaders of those major forces have basically been determined.
The newly appointed Governor of the West Sea - Persis.
It's Lex's people!
Damn, the West Sea instantly turned into a hell version!
The kings' goal changed from enjoying wealth and glory to staying alive...
Look at the New World, how many countries have been destroyed!
Yes, Lex didn't take action and didn't show up.
But anyone with a little common sense knows that without this person's authorization, who would dare to violate the laws of heaven?
and so--
The Flower Kingdom, the most powerful country in the West Sea with the most strength and the best intelligence, immediately used its connections to contact Lex and said all the good things about him.
Lex has not yet given them an accurate answer.
Instead, he asked the Red Count in front of him:
"Master, where are my uncles?"
Naturally, he asked Golden Lion and Rhine where Rania was.
Roy 'hitchhiked' back to the New World and began preparing for the Pirate Expo.
As for Golden Lion and Red Earl, they were still in Fenghuai Qianli.
Now that the Golden Lion was nowhere to be seen, Lex asked.
"Back to the New World."
The Red Earl still spoke frugally.
Lex nodded in understanding.
I probably guessed what my uncle and the others meant.
After all, Golden Lion, Rhine, and Rania are great pirates from the New World. Staying with Gion all day might make Gion feel uncomfortable.
However, they were obviously worrying too much.
Gion said disappointedly:
"Eh~? What? I wanted Auntie Rania to teach me how to put on makeup, and uncle didn't teach me swordsmanship."
Lex:
"I'll teach you swordsmanship, dear."
"If you beg me, I'll let you teach me."
Lex:
"........"
"Well, eat."
The Red Earl has prepared a feast.
The three of them sat together and started eating.
"This is the treasure of the Kingdom of Flowers, the West Sea Brewed Gracie, right? How could Master be willing to drink it like this?"
Seeing the Red Earl take a bite of food and three sips of wine, Lex couldn't help but be curious.
"It's from the Kingdom of Flowers."
The Red Earl explained the reason succinctly.
"Oh, come to think of it, now that Persis has taken office, the kingdoms in the West Sea are also very aware of the current situation."
"Ah."
"Persis? Lieutenant General of the headquarters?"
Gion asked.
"Well, he is now the governor of the West Sea, and the original Putres has retired."
"Is there any necessary connection between Lieutenant General Persis's appointment and the West Sea Kingdom's awareness of the times?"
"Well, Persis is mine."
Lex replied casually.
"Oh."
Gion said "Oh" nonchalantly and continued to eat his delicious dinner.
Hearing Gion's indifferent answer, Lex didn't:
"Hey, shouldn't you be surprised and make a scene asking me why I didn't tell you?"
"Oh~"
Gion still said "Oh".
She was very happy in her heart, hum~ my rank has been upgraded!
-

That night.
The sky is full of stars, and the starlight is reflected in every corner of the maple and locust trees.
Through the skylight on the top floor of the lakeside villa, it shines into a bedroom.
On the big bed in the bedroom, two naked bodies were entangled together.
"Ha~~"
After a period of ups and downs.
Lex hugged the cute figure in his arms.
"Hey, what you said during the day was a lie, right?"
Gion asked softly, leaning against a warm and familiar chest.
Lex was silent for a long time.
Years of tacit understanding made him instantly understand what Gion was talking about.
During the day, Lex looked confident and talked eloquently in front of people like Golden Lion and Red Earl, releasing the Observation Haki of the Divine Realm and showing his rapid growth in strength.
Let everyone subconsciously believe a fact, that is -
Rex will continue to improve like this without any bottleneck, making rapid progress day by day until he becomes invincible in the ocean.
But the sensitive Gion felt something was wrong at the time, but she couldn't say it out loud because everyone was there.
So it remains until now.
Gion knows Lex very well. Unlike most men who take advantage of others, Lex is the kind of man who loves more and is more likely to tell the truth after he is satisfied.
So Lex slowly spoke:
"...We were born on this sea, and our talents are determined in our blood. Maybe one day, I will face the gods with my own abilities, but I am not sure how many years it will take. And in this process, do you know, dear?"
Gion nodded slightly:
“There are too many uncertainties in this process.”
Lex continued:
"Yes, there are too many uncertainties, so I have to find a way to find other forces. Ancient weapons either haven't appeared in the world or can't be used, so I can only rely on manpower."
"The World Expo is your goal, right?"
Gion actually knew this man very well, at least better than any other woman on the sea.
"Yes, at the Expo, I will accomplish many of my goals. Of course, the biggest goal is to recruit good players, expand influence, and plant a seed deep in the hearts of the new generation. Among those people are the future strongest swordsmen, the future admirals, the future pirates, and the future key figures. At the same time, I will also purge the factions of the kingdoms, eliminate the peaceful kingdoms, and leave behind the evil royal families that are poisoning the sea, in order to completely disrupt the times and leave opportunities for the future. After all, the more chaotic the sea is, the less likely we will be targeted as the largest separatist force, and we will have more room for development."
Gion nodded and rested his cheek on the warm chest:
".....After the Expo, can you live a more relaxed life? What you want to do will take years to accumulate~"
".........good."
Gion's hair is very black, and now young Gion has no habit of tying his hair up.
The black hair spread across Lex's chest like a dark cloud.
What it brought to Lex was a cool shade and rest in the deepest part of his heart.
