One Piece: Get Stronger by Watching Battles

Chapter 5 Arrival at the Battlefield

As Zhou Ze walked through the entire block, a figure came into view.

A girl wearing a yellow straw hat, with orange hair, a light green tank top, and black shorts.

Her left arm was bleeding, her left hand was wrapped in bandages, and her right hand was covering half of her face, tears streaming down her face.

Nami!

Zhou Ze felt a surge of excitement, but his excitement stemmed solely from meeting the main characters for the first time, not from any romantic feelings he might have for Nami.

After all, Luffy has a line to say later: "Don't make my navigator cry." If Zhou Ze has any feelings for Nami, he'll probably get beaten to death!

Besides, Zhou Ze is now a Marine. If he rashly gets involved with pirates, Garp might kill him.

A gust of wind nearly blew Nami's yellow straw hat off her head. She quickly reached out and grabbed the hat, and then she found that there was someone in front of her.

Zhou Ze looked at Nami awkwardly, "Uh, I was hesitating whether to go around her. Believe it or not, I meant no harm!"

Seeing that Nami didn't speak and was just looking at him warily, Zhou Ze scratched his forehead. "Um, do you need a bandage? Your arm is still bleeding."

Nami relaxed a bit, and Zhou Ze also breathed a sigh of relief. "But I don't have any bandages. If you know where I can get any, please let me know."

Nami remained silent, perhaps still overwhelmed by her grief, but her gaze swept toward a nearby house.

Zhou Ze immediately understood, ran into the house, and soon found the bandages and handed them to Nami.

Nami didn't take it, and looked at Zhou Ze with a strange expression. Only then did Zhou Ze realize that it was indeed inconvenient for Nami to bandage him with only one hand.

He smiled apologetically, squatted down next to Nami, tore off a piece of bandage to wipe the blood off Nami's arm, and then roughly bandaged Nami's wound, tying a huge, ugly knot.

"That'll do, it'll have to do." Zhou Ze knew his technique was terrible, and preemptively said, "I still have to go over there. Do you want to come with me or rest first?"

Zhou Ze pointed ahead.

Nami's gaze sharpened, and her tone became somewhat stiff, "Who are you? What are you doing over there?"

“My name is Zhou Ze,” Zhou Ze quickly waved his hand, “Don’t misunderstand, I have no ill intentions, I just went to take a look.”

"Look? Look at what?"

Nami continued to press for answers.

“You definitely won’t believe me if I say we’re going to see the scenery,” Zhou Ze sighed helplessly. “Don’t ask so many questions. If you’re not going, I’m leaving first.”

Zhou Ze stood up and was about to run.

Nami, however, stood up, supporting herself with her straw hat.

Zhou Ze paused for a moment, then nodded. "I'm in a bit of a rush, just make sure you keep up."

Then without further hesitation, he ran forward.

Zhou Ze was getting anxious. A lot of time had already been wasted, and he didn't know where the fight was at. This was definitely not like watching anime, where there were more than 10 episodes. He had to hurry.

The more he ran, the faster he went. By the time he came to his senses, Nami was nowhere to be seen. Zhou Ze looked at the spire of the Dragon Paradise building that had come into view, sighed, and ran back.

Nami looked at Zhou Ze, who was rushing back in a flurry, and was quite surprised. However, she almost cried out in surprise the next second.

Zhou Ze ran to Nami's side without saying a word, then suddenly reached out and hugged Nami's waist, picked her up and carried her on his shoulder as he ran.

…………

"vomit……"

Zhou Ze put Nami down by the wall of the Dragon Paradise. As soon as Nami's feet touched the ground, she leaned against the wall and started gagging. It took her a while to recover. Just as she was about to angrily scold Zhou Ze, she found that Zhou Ze had already crawled through a hole in the wall.

The courtyard was littered with mermen lying haphazardly. One merman with a jagged nose and wearing a yellow shirt was sitting on a pile of ruins, laughing heartily. A swordsman with a dark green headscarf and wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt was squatting by the pool, peering into the water.

Ah Long!

Zoro!

Huh? Where are Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp?

Zhou Ze was a little stunned. Where had the fight progressed? Where had everyone gone? How much had he missed?

Ah Long, who was laughing heartily, was interrupted by Zhou Ze's sudden intrusion. He coughed violently twice and roared angrily at the stunned Zhou Ze, "Who are you?!"

Zhou Ze was also startled. How could he have just crawled through a hole and ended up right in front of the main character? He had only intended to observe from the sidelines.

He composed himself and tried to put on an innocent smile. "I was just passing by and thought I'd come in for a look."

"You guys are busy, I'll be going now."

After saying that, he slowly backed away, trying to leave.

Ah Long was just enjoying himself by mocking humans as trash when Zhou Ze forcibly interrupted him. He was extremely upset and was not about to let Zhou Ze off easily.

With a slight exertion of force, he broke off a piece of gravel and hurled it at Zhou Ze with a "boom".

Zhou Ze rolled over several times on the ground to dodge the attack; he had learned this move from watching street fights in Windmill Town.

It's a mess, but it works!

"No, I was just looking." Zhou Ze got up from the ground again, dusted himself off, and said, "You guys continue, just ignore me."

Worried that Ah Long would continue to be unreasonable, Zhou Ze carefully watched him and slowly sat down against the wall.

Seeing Zhou Ze's actions, Ah Long snorted contemptuously and ignored him.

Zhou Ze breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; thank goodness.

However, this misfortune has turned into a blessing in disguise; now we are closer to the central battlefield and can see it more clearly.

"Gurgle, gurgle"

Suddenly, some water gushed out of the pool next to them, and then a person emerged from the water.

Yellow hair, blue striped shirt.

Sanji!

Sanji climbed onto the ground, knelt on one knee, supported himself with his right hand, coughed up some water, and gasped for breath.

"Anyway, get up here now, you stinky fish, I'm going to settle things with you."

Sanji suddenly stood up, pointed at the water, and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, a fish-man climbed up from the water.

"They're here, they're here, a fight is about to break out."

Zhou Ze's heart pounded as the tension on the field intensified.

He activated his Lesser Formless Skill, focusing his attention on the group, trying not to miss a single move.

[First attempt at learning to cook meat successfully]

[Shoulder muscle training successful]

[Back fat learning success]

[Saddle-side meat learning successful]

[Chest muscle training successful]

[Thigh Fat Learning Successfully]

A series of system notifications almost made Zhou Ze burst into laughter. Ah, that felt great! A series of consecutive leg techniques.

Sanji's final kick, a powerful "thigh kick," sent the fishman flying. The fishman struggled to his feet and roared:

"Ultimate Punch - Thousand Watts"

Sanji charged forward two steps, leaped high into the air, and delivered a powerful kick to the fishman's face, sending him flying and crashing into the wall.

[Ultimate Punch - Thousand Watts Learning Success]

[Successfully learned how to make lamb shot]

The fishman's attack was completely dodged by Sanji, so we didn't see any effect, but Sanji's attack was really cool.

What a steal!

Zhou Ze swallowed hard.

Chapter 6: Skills Maxed Out

"You bastards, how dare you harm my important compatriots..."

Ah Long slowly stood up. He was clearly furious, his eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was icy.

He suddenly produced some water in his palm, and with a casual flick of his wrist, the water struck Zoro and Sanji like a shotgun, causing them to instantly cough up blood and collapse to the ground.

[Learning Failure]

"Huh?" Zhou Ze was taken aback. "System, what's going on?"

"The water-spraying skill is unique to the shark species of the fishman race. Other races cannot learn it, and the Lesser Formless Skill cannot activate it."

Zhou Ze then realized that the system couldn't teach just any skill, so he would have to be more careful when encountering non-human races in the future.

Well, those numerous Zoan-type Devil Fruit users might also have this limitation.

Zhou Ze reminded himself of this.

"Ah Long!"

Suddenly, an angry shout rang out.

Nami!

She wore a straw hat, and her shoulders and hands were wrapped in bandages. Her right hand, which was intact, was tightly gripping a wooden stick.

"Hey, Nami, I'm about to kill a few ungrateful pirates. What are you doing here?"

Arlong looked at Nami and said arrogantly.

Nami raised her head, revealing her eyes hidden by her straw hat, and stared at Arlong, saying in a calm but firm tone:

I'm here to kill you!

Ah Long seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, raised his head and laughed loudly, "Kill me? Haven't you tried countless times in the past 8 years..."
