One Piece: Get Stronger by Watching Battles

The pirates in the Whitebeard Pirates were filled with rage and drew their weapons in defense.

The Red-Haired Pirates, on the other hand, remained quite calm.

As Zhou Zefei got closer, he realized something was amiss. There seemed to be quite a few boats on the shore, and even more people on the bank.

After flying for a while, I stumbled and almost fell from the sky.

Holy crap, is it really such a coincidence?

He had already recognized Shanks' pirate ship, and with the other ships and so many people nearby, how could he not guess what was going on ashore?

However, at such close range, with so many skilled opponents, they must have already spotted me. At this point, trying to escape would probably be too difficult.

Zhou Ze gritted his teeth and continued flying forward. As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, especially since I'm here to deliver a gift. Peace is the most important thing, and we should talk things out!

After landing on the outer perimeter, Zhou Ze dragged the cloth bag, his face calm but his heart pounding with panic as he cautiously walked forward step by step.

"Zhou Ze, what are you doing here?"

The pirates on both sides glared at each other and questioned each other loudly.

Zhou Ze, feeling the overwhelming rage, remained calm and walked forward a little further before looking at the two leaders, Red Hair and Marco, and saying:

"Whitebeard is a hero. Although we have different stances, as opponents, I have to admit that."

"Please allow me to offer my condolences!"

Chapter 142 Blood Sacrifice! (Third update, please vote!!)

"I don't need your hypocritical talk, Captain Marco. Don't believe his nonsense!"

“That’s right, it was this guy who caused Dad to be killed by Squard…”

Squard's expression darkened upon hearing this, and his eyes instantly filled with tears as he thought of Whitebeard.

Marco glared at the outspoken pirate. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

He stopped the pirate, exchanged a glance with Shanks, and then stepped aside.

Zhou Ze nodded to the two men, then bowed to the pirates around him, and dragged his bag to Whitebeard's tombstone.

"Fate has played a cruel trick on us, making us enemies, but you are still worthy of respect."

"Today, I offer my personal tribute to you, hoping you may rest in peace."

“In my hometown, long ago, there was a custom of using the blood of one’s enemies as a sacrifice at their graves!”

As Zhou Ze spoke, he untied the cloth bag, grabbed Shiryu by the collar, and dragged him out.

"I haven't caught that bastard Teach yet, but as I said, I'll kill every single one of Blackbeard's crew sooner or later!"

"Let's start with him today!"

Shiryu had regained consciousness, but his entire body was chained and he was unable to move.

After being taken out of the bag, he quickly scanned his surroundings. Hearing Zhou Ze's words, he understood exactly what Zhou Ze wanted to do.

"Zhou Ze, you're a Marine! How dare you collude with pirates! The World Government won't let you off the hook! They'll definitely kill you!"

Even the cold-blooded Shiryu felt a sense of fear as he faced imminent death.

Zhou Ze's lips curled into a cold smile. "Whether they can kill me or not, I don't know, and I don't care!"

With that, Zhou Ze lifted Shiliu high, kicked him twice in the back of the knees, and forced him to kneel down in front of the white-bearded grave.

He drew Thunderstorm with a backhand stroke and held it horizontally against Shiryu's neck.

"All I know is that you today..."

"You're definitely going to die!"

Pull it outwards with force, and blood gushed out.

Shiryu made a "cooing" sound, but could no longer utter a word.

With another burst of strength, Zhou Ze severed Shiryu's head and held it in his hand. The headless corpse lost its strength, bent over, and remained kneeling, lifeless.

Zhou Ze's words and methods stunned everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates, and even the Red-Haired Pirates were surprised.

Shanks frowned slightly, about to speak, when he saw Zhou Ze bow to Whitebeard's tombstone.

"I'm sorry for making your funeral so bloody."

"However, Shiryu's head cannot be left to you. I promised another guy that I would take it back to him!"

Then, he looked at Marco beside him and said, "I have something I'd like to talk to you about alone, is that alright?"

Seeing that Marco was just staring intently at him, Zhou Ze sighed again, "Captain Red-Haired, you can come along too."

Upon hearing Zhou Ze's words, Shanks took the lead and walked down the hillside, followed by Zhou Ze and Marco.

The three of them arrived at a mill where a huge windmill was turning gently in the sea breeze, making a "click-clack" sound.

"Gentlemen, there are warships waiting for me at sea. Time is of the essence, so I'll get straight to the point."

"If possible, please ask Captain Red-Haired to keep today's events a secret when you meet the Five Elders."

Zhou Ze first looked at Shanks, then, without waiting for his reply, looked at Marco.

"With Whitebeard dead, countless pirates will surely covet the islands you control, especially Blackbeard, whose current goal is the position of 'Yonko'."

"I hope you will voluntarily relinquish those islands and try to avoid war with him..."

Seeing Marco frown and about to interrupt him, Zhou Ze quickly raised his hand and pressed something in the air.

"Let me finish. This is just a suggestion, not a demand. Whether you do it or not is up to you."

"The Navy Headquarters suffered heavy losses in this war with you and is temporarily unable to control the New World waters. We are even more pleased to see the fighting between you pirates."

"Blackbeard stole the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and his strength is now vastly different from before. He will inevitably rise to power sooner or later. I hope you can keep the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates in check and avoid unnecessary sacrifices."

"Oh, and tell the captains under my command to be careful too, there's one..."

Upon hearing this, Shanks and Marco could no longer contain themselves and shouted in unison to stop them.

What exactly do you want?

Zhou Ze rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "I just don't like Blackbeard and don't want him to have an easy time. I find you guys more agreeable, so I'm telling you some things."

"I will deny these statements after I leave here. I have never seen you, and you should not try to threaten me with this!"

Shanks's gaze turned slightly cold, Marco frowned and stared intently, and Zhou Ze sighed.

"Sigh, I didn't expect to run into you all today, and with all this trouble, I have to go."

As he spoke, he slowly took two steps back, cautiously widening the distance between himself and the two people. Then he remembered that there was still one person whose information he hadn't mentioned. After a slight hesitation, he finally shook his head.

Revealing that Ace is still alive would cause a lot of delays before I could leave, so I'll leave it at that later.

Goodbye, everyone!

After saying that, Zhou Ze took off and flew towards the open sea.

“Red-haired…” Marco watched Zhou Ze’s departing figure, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, “What exactly is that guy’s purpose?”

Shanks' sharp pupils contracted slightly. "I don't know either, but his hatred for Blackbeard's crew is probably real."

Marco nodded in agreement. “That’s right. I saw him attack those bastards with my own eyes in Marineford.”

"And look at how ruthless he was when he slit Shiryu's throat!" Shanks added, "At least for now, it seems he doesn't want to start a conflict with us."

“As for what he just said,” Shanks paused for a moment before continuing, “like he said, how to do it is up to you.”

Pirate crews are generally very wary of outsiders interfering in their affairs. Shanks, as one of the Four Emperors of the New World, naturally understood this principle and therefore did not offer any opinion.

Marco nodded, looking towards the graves of his father and Ace standing on the distant hillside.

"Thank you for today, Redhead!"

……

“Lieutenant General, Shireta…” Zhou Ze had just landed on the deck when the naval captain came up to him, looking at the head Zhou Ze was carrying with great shock.

"Attempted to escape, but I killed him on the spot!" Zhou Ze glanced at the colonel indifferently.

"What, you have a problem with that?"

"No, no, no, he's a villain who should have been killed long ago!" The colonel felt a chill run down his neck from Zhou Ze's gaze and denied it repeatedly.

Zhou Ze grunted in agreement and handed him Shiryu's head.

"Pack it up and take it back to Magellan!"

Chapter 143 Zhou Ze's Approval! A Chill Runs Down My Back! (First Update, Please Give Me Your Tickets!!!)

The sea area dozens of kilometers away from Yan Island.

A small pirate ship rested quietly on the sea. Its pirate flag was unique, with a camera mounted on a crossbones skull.

This is the "Image Pirates," which was only established a few days ago.

Captain Wanluo released the first mate Wanshi's hand. "So, has the dynamic energy ripple been processed?"

Wan Shi looked at Wan Luo's eager face and nodded, "It's all taken care of!"

As she spoke, the girl pressed her left index and middle fingers together against the corner of her eye, and waved her right hand in front of her.

A blue, semi-transparent screen appeared in mid-air, displaying a scene.

It was during the scene where Blackbeard unleashed a shock punch that sent Shiryu flying, and Zhou Ze retaliated with the Giant Spinning Bomb.

This couple are also Devil Fruit users.

Wanluo's "Marking Fruit" ability allows her to leave a mark at any location she passes through, and the mark lasts for a whole day.

On this day, he can sense all energy fluctuations within a certain range of the marked point, just like a radar.

The "Transcoding Fruit" ability of the World-Saving Fruit can transcode the received fluctuations and then display them.

Wanluo excitedly grabbed her camera and started snapping photos of the light screen.

The girl looked worried. "Wanluo, isn't it too risky for us to leave those two pirates behind?"

Wanluo kept taking pictures, comforting Wanshi, "Don't worry, I know that big guy is Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
