One Piece: Get Stronger by Watching Battles

One Piece: Become Stronger by Watching Battles Author: Mantou

Summary:

Zhou Ze transmigrated to the world of One Piece with a system called "Peerless Martial Arts Master".

With the system's capabilities, he can learn any move from anyone after just one viewing.

Garp's Iron Fist, Hawkeye's swordsmanship, Luffy's Gum-Gum Battle Axe, Zoro's Three-Sword Style, etc., are all easy to learn at a glance.

Zhou Ze always felt he needed to play it safe, otherwise he would easily get killed.

One day, after making a move, I suddenly discovered that...

I'm so competitive!

Everyone said: We already knew!

Chapter 1: Transmigrating to the World of One Piece

1520 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Good morning, Marcino. A glass of sherry, please, please!

Zhou Ze, sporting a head of messy black hair, pushed open the tavern door and yawned as he spoke.

"Good morning," Makino replied, deftly pouring Zhou Ze a drink, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness, "Mr. Zhou Ze, you should also pay a little attention to your image."

Zhou Ze lazily lay on the bar counter, "Hmm?"

"Your hair is a mess, and you've buttoned your shirt wrong again." Makino pushed the bottle in front of Zhou Ze and pointed at his collar.

Zhou Ze picked up his glass and took a big gulp, letting out a comfortable burp. He said sluggishly, "I haven't seen a fight in days, so I have no energy or mood to take care of myself."

Makino was speechless. Mr. Zhou Ze had suddenly appeared on the island half a month ago. At that time, with his black hair, black eyes, tall and slender figure, and handsome appearance, Zhou Ze attracted a lot of attention from the girls on the island.

But gradually, everyone noticed that Zhou Ze had some strange habits. Whenever he heard of a fight, he would rush over to watch. Whether it was burly men fighting or children playing, Zhou Ze would always be there to watch.

Zhou Ze's behavior became a topic of conversation among the island's residents, and some busybodies were happy to notify Zhou Ze to come and watch whenever there was a fight.

This really helped Zhou Ze a lot.

Zhou Ze transmigrated to the One Piece world more than half a month ago, along with a system.

[Peerless Martial Arts Master System - Lesser Formless Skill (Mastery) Template]

In short, this system gave Zhou Ze a martial art called "Xiao Wuxiang Gong".

Yes, that's right, it's the ultimate skill of Kumārajīva, the Tibetan national teacher, from the classic martial arts novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

It is also one of the unique internal skills of the "Free and Unfettered Sect".

Any martial art in the world can be mastered using the "Lesser Formless Skill" after just one viewing.

Therefore, for the past two weeks, Zhou Ze has been involved in every fight, and he has always been very well-mannered, only watching without complaining or participating.

"I'm afraid of being beaten to death!"

Zhou Ze sighed helplessly.

Over the past two weeks, I've watched a lot of fights and learned every single move.

The problem is, this is a world of pirates, and there are countless people with special abilities. The weak techniques I've learned from those whose names I've never even heard of are only good for street brawls; they're utterly useless in a real fight.

"Hey, Zhou Ze, a naval warship has arrived at the dock. I heard a vice admiral is coming."

The tavern door was pushed open, and an islander shouted at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze instantly perked up, downed the rest of his drink in one gulp, and slammed his glass heavily on the bar. "Makino, you owe me the money for the drinks. I'll go check on it..."

Without waiting for Makino's response, he rushed out like a gust of wind.

Zhou Ze was excited. Half a month had passed, and the protagonist Luffy had already set sail. All that was left on the island were rotten fish and shrimp. Now, they had finally caught a big fish. Could it be that man?

At the dock, a warship with dark blue paint and white sails rested quietly on the sea.

Along both sides of the pier, two rows of armed soldiers stood in neat rows, and a lieutenant general wearing a cloak was stepping off the warship.

Tall, imposing, strong, with gray hair and a beard—yes, it's him!

Zhou Ze's eyes welled up with tears. It hadn't been easy, Garp, I've finally waited for you.

Garp walked down the steps, yawned exaggeratedly, picked his nose roughly, and looked around.

"Hmm?" Garp's gaze sharpened. He noticed a person in the crowd who was staring intently at him, with tears welling in his eyes. "There aren't many civilians who love the Navy as much as this anymore."

"Hey, you over there," Garp waved to Zhou Ze, "yes, you, come here."

Zhou Ze stared blankly at Garp waving at him, somewhat incredulous. "Holy crap, how did he find me? As expected of a top-tier fighter in the One Piece world, his keen insight is truly astonishing! It seems I'll have to be even more cautious and discreet when facing famous figures in the future."

With a heavy heart, Zhou Ze stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of Garp.

"From today onwards, you are a member of the Navy."

Karp's voice was powerful and thunderous.

Zhou Ze was stunned. What the hell? I just came to see if there was a chance to learn from them. Who wants to join the Navy?

Garp looked at the stunned Zhou Ze and nodded secretly. He was indeed a good prospect, able to remain calm even when facing him directly.

They were now even more satisfied with Zhou Ze.

"What's your name?"

In high spirits, Garp's aura became even more imposing.

Zhou Ze then came to his senses, "I'm not, I... okay, my name is Zhou Ze."

Just as Zhou Ze opened his mouth to deny it, he saw Garp's aura suddenly increase. Fearing that if he continued to speak, Garp would smash him to death with an iron fist, Zhou Ze quickly changed his mind and gave his name.

"Very good. It's good that you can remain so calm when you see me."

Garp laughed heartily and nodded approvingly at Zhou Ze, "You probably don't know my name..."

No, I know.

"I don't even know my own strength..."

No, I know very well.

"My name is Garp, Vice Admiral of the Navy, also known as Iron Fist Garp." When he said this, Garp's confidence was off the charts, and his aura increased dramatically.

"Yes, I understand all of that."

Zhou Ze was internally complaining, but he didn't show any reaction on his face. He was thinking about how to get Garp to use a few of his special techniques.

That composure is the mark of a great general!

Garp inwardly admired Zhou Ze, whose unwavering composure was comparable to that of a general!

"Um... Lieutenant General Garp, I have a small request, I wonder if I can make it?" Zhou Ze asked Garp in a consultative tone.

Seeing that Garp did not object, Zhou Ze continued, "I want to see your special skill. Just one demonstration will do, just one move!"

Zhou Ze held up a finger, stared into Garp's eyes, and said sincerely.

“What an outstanding young man,” Garp sighed, thinking of those troublesome brats. “Look at those expectant eyes, it’s impossible not to refuse them.”

Karp nodded. "Okay."

The soldier next to him immediately ran onto the warship, and soon came down carrying a cannonball, handing it to Garp.

Zhou Ze instantly focused his attention, carefully watching Garp's movements. He saw Garp catch the cannonball with one hand, weigh it in his hand for a moment, and then throw it out suddenly, "Fist Bone Meteorite!"

With a whoosh, the shell sliced ​​through the air and hurtled towards the sea. With a deafening roar, it exploded, creating a huge wave.

A glint flashed in Zhou Ze's eyes, and then the system notification appeared.

[Successful learning of the Fist Bone Meteorite technique]

"Okay, I'll join the Navy!"

Zhou Ze's eyes burned with fervor as he spoke with unwavering conviction.

"Haha!" Garp laughed heartily.

Chapter 2 Learning from Hawkeye Mihawk

On Vice Admiral Garp's warship in the East China Sea.

"Hey, do you know that guy who was just recruited into the Navy by Vice Admiral Garp?" A Marine second class chatted with his companion while standing on the ship's railing. "I heard that Vice Admiral Garp speaks highly of him."

“Yeah, his name is Zhou Ze. I’ve heard of him too,” another private chimed in. “I just don’t know why he’s not even a private (new recruit) yet he’s been assigned to menial tasks.”

"I heard it was his own request, because Lieutenant General Garp was very angry."

……

At this moment, Zhou Ze, a naval janitor, was on the deck at the stern of the warship, reclining in a deck chair and drinking sherry with ice.

"Being in the navy is so comfortable! You don't have to do any work all day, and you still get a salary. It's like being a civil servant!"

Zhou Ze took a sip of the wine with relish and sighed.

Sergeant Mike, the handyman sitting on the recliner next to him, twitched his lips a few times.

"If you hadn't been brought aboard by Vice Admiral Garp himself, and so many people have testified that you are completely unafraid of Vice Admiral Garp's aura, do you think you could have just stayed here?"

Of course, he dared not say this aloud, after all, the person in front of him had powerful connections.

I heard that all the marshals of the Warring States period knew him.

"Sergeant Mike, I've already told everyone, right? Please notify me immediately if there's any fighting!"

Zhou Ze took another sip of wine, turned his head to look at Sergeant Mike, the sergeant major, with a very sincere expression.

Sergeant Mike tensed up suddenly, his voice trembling slightly. He hadn't expected Zhou Ze to be so serious. "Of course, I've notified all the general laborers, soldiers, and corporals on the warship."

Seeing Sergeant Mike's strange reaction, Zhou Ze wondered to himself, "Is this guy just trying to fool me?"

Pirate ship spotted ahead!

On the warship's watchtower, a bearded sailor leaned halfway out and shouted to the deck.
