One Piece: Get Stronger by Watching Battles

"Listen up, you can't kill me, and you can't escape me, Nami. You'll be my surveyor forever."

Zhou Ze listened to Ah Long's rambling on and on, then pursed his lips and thought to himself, "His voice is awful and he talks so much nonsense. Don't you know villains die from talking too much?"

Arlong was still rambling on. He casually kicked Sanji, who was lying on the ground, aside and said contemptuously, "Originally, I was going to kill everyone except you. If you are willing to come back now, I can spare the people of Cocoyasi Village."

"However, all the other guys have to die."

After speaking, Ah Long glanced around, his gaze lingering on Zhou Ze for a moment.

I'm so angry! What does this have to do with me?

Zhou Ze was speechless when he saw that Arlong had included him on the kill list, but he wasn't worried at all because he knew that Luffy would beat Arlong to a pulp.

When Ah Long's gaze swept over Zhou Ze, he noticed that Zhou Ze showed no sign of panic, and he was immediately surprised, "This human..."

Nami also saw Zhou Ze sitting cross-legged in the corner. Her gaze softened for a moment. Zhou Ze noticed Nami's gaze and grinned at her.

Arlong composed himself and spoke again, "Nami, so will you be my companion, or will you join their group?"

Nami's lips parted slightly as she looked at Sanji and Zoro lying motionless on the ground, a hint of despair gradually rising in her eyes.

At the huge gap in the courtyard wall, the villagers of Cocoyasi, who had been standing on the outside, stirred up a commotion.

"That's despicable!"

"He still wants to control Miss Nami!"

Nami gripped her straw hat, pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to face the villagers. "Everyone, I'm sorry, please come with me to die, okay?"

At this moment, Nami's face was beaming with a bright smile.

"Okay!"

A shout erupted from the crowd, signaling a desperate counterattack against Ah Long.

"Ah Long, look this way."

A sleazy voice suddenly came from outside the wall.

The great Usopp!

Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Ze immediately thought of the name.

However, Usopp only had a rubber band in his hand, and nothing happened in the end.

Instead, Zoro, who was trying to buy Sanji time to rescue Luffy, was stabbed in the chest by Arlong's saw-toothed nose and lifted up by the neck.

Arlong ripped off Zoro's bandages, causing Zoro's wound to burst open, blood splattering everywhere, revealing the terrifying knife wound left by Hawkeye.

Zhou Ze was also secretly terrified. Luckily, there was Grandpa Garp. If he had been stabbed like that, he would have died on the spot.

"Ah...it's back!"

Suddenly, Luffy sprang out of the water, shouting as he flew into the sky, "Gum-Gum Bell, and Gum-Gum Whip!"

Luffy swooped down from the air, smashing Arlong's head in with a headbutt, followed by a sweeping kick that forced Arlong back.

"Rubber pistol."

"Rubber machine gun".

The relentless, storm-like attack sent Alon crashing into the main castle of Dragon Paradise.

It's here, it's here, the final battle.

Zhou Ze received a series of system notifications and became excited.

"Uh, let's not learn Luffy's Twin Swords Frenzy move."

"Huh, Ah Long breaking off his own teeth to use as a weapon looks painful. I'm glad I didn't learn it."

"Hmm, this move is the regular version of the Gum-Gum Axe, right? Learn it."

Zhou Ze watched and selectively learned as he went, feeling quite pleased with himself.

[Rubber Shield learning successful]

[Spear and spear training successful]

Luffy and Arlong fought more and more fiercely, eventually entering the room for their final battle—the attic where Nami was forced to draw a sea chart.

Zhou Ze slowly stood up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and walked towards the main castle of the Evil Dragon Paradise.

What are you going to do?

Nami stopped Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze chuckled softly, "Don't worry, I told you I'm just here to take a look, I won't interfere."

After saying that, Zhou Ze lightly touched the ground with his feet and leaped up, jumping from floor to floor towards the top floor.

Standing on a rooftop, Zhou Ze spotted Luffy in the room that had bound Nami. The room was now drafty and leaky. He focused his attention, waiting for Luffy to deliver the final blow to Arlong.

"Rubber Tomahawk!"

Luffy stomped on Arlong, who screamed in pain, coughing up blood as he fell to the ground.

[Successfully learned how to make the Rubber Tomahawk]

The system notification arrived. Zhou Ze pushed off with his feet, leaped into the air, and slowly floated down to the ground.

The main castle of Dragon Paradise gradually became covered with cracks and finally collapsed with a roar.

"Nami, you are my comrade!"

Luffy stood up from the ruins, clenched his fists, and roared.

Another iconic scene!

Tears!

Immediately, the villagers erupted in cheers, tossing Luffy into the air again and again.

Zhou Ze then took the opportunity to bypass the crowd and prepare to leave.

"That's it! None of you are allowed to leave!"

A group of naval officers suddenly appeared, and a shifty-eyed officer stepped out and blocked Zhou Ze's path.

"You've all worked so hard..."

"Now the money that was supposed to be given to Ah Long, as well as the money hidden in Dragon Paradise, are all mine."

"Of course, the credit for defeating Arlong belongs to me, Captain Rat of the 16th Marine Division."

That's the guy!

Zhou Ze only remembered that there was such a person, who looked very sleazy. He didn't expect that the name would match the person so well. However, in his impression, this person seemed to be a very weakling.

He grabbed the colonel's hand and gradually tightened his grip.

"Ah, ah, ah."

The rat shrank its neck and let out a series of pitiful screams.

Chapter 7 Preparing for the Return Journey

"Warrant Lieutenant Zhou Ze," a soldier ran out from the navy, the sergeant accompanying Zhou Ze, "Please release Captain Rat first, there are still..."

Zhou Ze glared at the sergeant. "Didn't you hear what he just said? Huh?"

The naval sergeant shrank back in fright. "He is a colonel after all, and you are only a... I think it would be better to report this to headquarters."

Zhou Ze pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "What you said makes sense..."

"But I was blocked by him for no reason, and now I'm very angry."

"If you don't vent your anger, it's bad for your health, so..."

At this point, Zhou Ze suddenly exerted force, slamming Colonel Rat to the ground. He then unleashed a barrage of street brawl moves, quickly turning Colonel Rat's face into a swollen mess.

Zhou Ze breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his wrists. "I've vented, let's call it a day!"

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Zhou Ze was about to leave, Nami suddenly called out to him.

"Are you in the Navy?"

Zhou Ze looked at Nami with a complex emotion in his eyes, while Luffy and the others were somewhat wary.

He sighed. "Yes, my name is Zhou Ze, and as you can see, I am a naval officer."

Seeing that Nami was about to say something, Zhou Ze smiled and stopped her, "Today is a happy day, so cheer and celebrate to your heart's content. We won't disturb you any longer."

After Zhou Ze finished speaking, he turned and left.

“Warrant Lieutenant Zhou Ze, but they are…” The naval sergeant hesitated.

Zhou Ze continued walking towards the sea without stopping. "I know, but I'm in a good mood today, so let's not say anything that might spoil the mood."

Then he turned back to the main characters and gave them a bright smile, "We'll meet again!"

Hearing the cheers rising higher and higher behind him from afar, Zhou Ze smiled even more happily.

…………

Lying on a deck chair on the warship's deck, Zhou Ze still had a smile on his face, a great harvest indeed.

Although Zoro didn't learn any sword skills, Luffy and Sanji did learn some of their techniques. More importantly, they didn't clash with the main characters, which was crucial.

In the ship's lounge, Colonel Rat woke up and picked up a Den Den Mushi. "Hello, hello, is this Naval Headquarters?"

A lazy voice responded from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, "It's Naval Headquarters."

"This is Captain Rat of the 16th Naval Division, Navy ID 00733. Listen up..."

"To classify a pirate named Luffy, who wears a straw hat, along with his four crew members, as enemies of our government..."

"In addition, there is a warrant officer in the navy named Zhou Ze who is colluding with the Straw Hat crew..."

"Now, send the photos over."

"Headquarters has received this and will verify the situation as soon as possible and report it to higher authorities for handling."

Colonel Mouse slammed the Den Den Mushi shut and chuckled sinisterly.
