One Piece: Get Stronger by Watching Battles

He took a deep breath.

"Poisonous pufferfish"

Immediately afterwards, it spat out a ball of purple venom and rushed towards Zhou Ze at high speed.

Upon hearing Magellan's voice, Zhou Ze's Observation Haki almost simultaneously detected the fluctuations in the air. Without thinking, he jumped to the side.

Immediately afterwards, increasingly dense venom spheres flew over. Zhou Ze dodged and weaved through the poisonous cloud, constantly avoiding Magellan's attacks while charging forward.

"There!" After dashing forward for a while, Zhou Ze finally spotted Magellan's location. After dodging another attack, Zhou Ze leaped into the air.

"Storm Foot · Triumphant Bird"

With a sweeping right leg, the bluish-white internal energy transformed into a bird-shaped slash, tearing through the poisonous clouds and striking towards Magellan.

The two were less than 5 meters apart at that moment, and the attack was imminent, but Magellan remained calm.

"Poison Dragon!"

With a low shout, a dragon-shaped venomous creature suddenly emerged from Magellan's back, its mouth opening wide and swallowing Zhou Ze's attack whole.

"bang"

The poisonous dragon exploded, splattering venom everywhere, but Zhou Ze's attack was thus blocked.

[Poison Dragon has successfully learned]

Zhou Ze was taken aback when he received the notification, then overjoyed. This was beyond his expectations. He could learn the techniques of the Venom-Venom Fruit? Wouldn't that make him invincible!

However, the system's prompt immediately brought him to the reality.

[Lacking the necessary toxin, the Poison Dragon's attack is converted to a non-poisonous attack.]

Zhou Ze was speechless. What's the point of using it if it's not poisonous? And it's trying to anger the dragon? It's trying to anger me!

I'm so angry!

Magellan's poisonous dragon was destroyed, but three more quickly condensed back into it. He himself was covered in venom, with purple venom dripping onto the floor.

If this fighting continues, this place will be ruined.

Zhou Ze's lips twitched as he watched the increasing amount of venom on the ground.

Then, with a swift leap, he closed in on Magellan, clenched his fists, and roared.

"Six Styles of Profound Techniques: Six Kings Spear"

A powerful force emanated from the fist, instantly striking Magellan's massive body. At the same time, the three poisonous dragons, positioned high above, pounced on Zhou Ze.

Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit is a Paramecia type, not a Logia type. Although his entire body is covered in venom, he cannot transform his body into elements like Logia users.

Therefore, the powerful impact of Zhou Ze's attack landed squarely on Magellan, who groaned as he forcefully resisted the force.

His body swayed violently a few times, and he stumbled back several steps.

The three venomous dragons also bit Zhou Ze into their mouths, and a large amount of venom flowed from their bodies toward Zhou Ze, surrounding him completely.

Magellan, having regained his footing, looked at Zhou Ze, who was enveloped in venom, and hesitated whether to withdraw his power. Suddenly, the venom splattered everywhere, and Zhou Ze's figure broke through the venom and rushed out.

Zhou Ze took two deep breaths of fresh air, shook his hands, and said irritably, "I'm not fighting anymore, Magellan, are you trying to suffocate me?"

When Zhou Ze was enveloped in the thick venom, he frantically channeled his inner energy, but no matter how he tried to dispel it, the venom kept appearing. The one-meter-circle space around him almost suffocated him.

Magellan's eyes gleamed as he saw Zhou Ze emerge unscathed from his venom. After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"You really do have a way to be immune to my poison attacks. I had my suspicions from the moment we met!"

Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Warden Magellan, if I didn't have some ability, wouldn't I have been poisoned to death long ago?"

"Don't worry, we're colleagues after all. Even if you're poisoned, we'll give you the antidote."

As Magellan spoke, he waved his hand, and the poisonous dragon behind him instantly retracted into his body. He then opened his mouth and took a deep breath, quickly inhaling the poisonous cloud that filled the room.

“I agree to your request, we’ll get right now…” Magellan was speaking when his stomach rumbled. He patted his stomach and said, “Wait a moment!”

Then he ran quickly into the toilet, and immediately a series of pungent sounds came out.

Zhou Ze: "..."

As expected of the Iron Chrysanthemum Otaku, my Magellan Warden!

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of flushing water finally came from the toilet again. Zhou Ze, who had been tormented by a series of unpleasant sounds to the point of wanting to die, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling completely refreshed, Magellan emerged and, somewhat embarrassed, said to Zhou Ze:

"The soup I had this morning tasted like poison; it made my stomach a little upset. I'm sorry, let's go now."

It's clearly because you inhaled too much poisonous gas, okay?

Zhou Ze mentally grumbled as he followed Magellan outside.

Hannibal, who had been waiting impatiently outside the door, started yelling.

“Magellan, threatening the envoy won't work. The warden's position is mine. Ah, I misspoke…”

"Boom"

Magellan punched Hannibal, interrupting his rambling, "Having a subordinate like this is really a headache!"

“I think Deputy Warden Hannibal is quite capable,” Zhou Ze laughed.

He knew that Magellan also valued Hannibal highly, and the two had a good relationship, having known each other for 20 years.

Moreover, Hannibal was actually quite good at fulfilling his duties, and Magellan's position as warden was indeed later handed over to Hannibal.

Hannibal was overjoyed upon hearing Zhou Ze's praise, as if he had already obtained the position he had always dreamed of.

Chapter 73 Killing someone by destroying their spirit! (First Update)

After the elevator came to a complete stop, Zhou Ze, feeling anxious, went out first, followed closely by Magellan.

“This is an exception. It won’t take long. I’ll give you a maximum of 10 minutes,” Magellan said in a deep voice.

“That’s enough, thank you, Warden Magellan.” Zhou Ze turned around and smiled, “This time, I owe you a favor!”

Upon seeing Zhou Ze, a new face, the prisoners in the cell became somewhat excited.

"Oh, a new recruit, and he's a navy officer!"

"Hey kid, what did you do to deserve this arrest?"

"Are you all stupid? He's not even wearing prison clothes, how could he be a criminal?"

"The guy we arrested yesterday wasn't wearing prison clothes either."

"Exactly! Why waste a prison uniform on a guy who's about to be executed!"

"Little brat, your grandpas are asking you a question, didn't you hear us?"

Zhou Ze's eyes turned cold. He raised his arm and flicked his index finger.

Finger pistol

With a "whoosh," a burst of energy shot out like a bullet, instantly striking the criminal in the chest.

"Boom"

The criminal only had time to let out a muffled groan before his body was thrown backward as if struck, crashing into the cell wall.

The previously noisy criminals fell silent, never expecting that this young man would dare to make a move in front of Magellan.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better all be quiet!" Magellan hissed, venom seeping from his face, then looked at Zhou Ze.

"I've already said it, here, only I have the authority to execute prisoners!"

Zhou Ze withdrew his finger and shrugged. "Don't be nervous. We're just teaching him a lesson. He won't die."

After walking a little further in, Magellan was about to remind Zhou Ze, but Zhou Ze stopped first.

Magellan's gaze sharpened, and he felt even more strongly that Zhou Ze's perception abilities were unfathomable.

In fact, Zhou Ze stopped simply because he saw Ace.

Ace now appears much weaker than when he was escorted there before.

He sat on the ground, head drooping, his arms handcuffed to the wall with sea stone handcuffs, only his faint breathing proving he was still alive.

Worried that Magellan would notice something amiss, Zhou Ze quickly glanced at the cage before looking away and turning to the cage on the left.

"Crocodile, an old friend has come to see you, and you don't even react?" Zhou Ze looked at the dark cage and laughed into it.

A sound of chains scraping against the ground came from the shadows of the cell, and Crocodile emerged.

Even when imprisoned, Crocodile's expression remained somewhat cold, with a hint of arrogance.

Zhou Ze looked at him, his smile widening. He rummaged in his pocket for a moment, pulled out a box of cigars, took one out, and handed it to him.

Crocodile hesitated for a moment before taking the lighter. Seeing Zhou Ze raise it, he obediently lowered his head, lit it, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke.

"I've heard Mr. 1 mention you before, I never imagined you were actually a Marine!"

After lighting Crocodile's cigarette, Zhou Ze stuffed the whole box of cigars and the lighter into the cage, then sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Yes, I've always been in the Navy, but you never gave me a chance to speak back then."

Zhou Ze shook his head slightly and sighed, "So, after coming in, have you gained any insights into life?"

"Hmph, you came here just to mock me?" Crocodile said toughly, but he also sat down like Zhou Ze.

"No, what you did in that country is despicable to me, but you've already been arrested. We're on different sides, so I don't want to say more."

"Then why did you come looking for me?" Crocodile raised the corners of his mouth, his right hand rubbing the golden hook.

"I only heard from Miss Golden Week that you seem to have lost interest in the outside world."

Zhou Ze slowly opened his mouth, only to be interrupted by Crocodile.

"Have you seen them?"

"Oh? A sand crocodile that never trusts its companions will actually care about its former companions?" Zhou Ze chuckled, his tone teasing.

"It's just about finding a common topic; who cares whether they live or die?" Crocodile's arrogant nature prevailed, and he was quite disdainful.

Zhou Ze didn't care, "Even someone like you would have someone risk their life to rescue you, tsk tsk!" Seeing Crocodile's face growing darker, Zhou Ze added regretfully:

"Don't worry about it. The last time I saw them was on the holiday island. It's a pity they managed to escape in the end."
