One Piece: Get Stronger by Watching Battles

What did you say? Did the Warring States period go mad?

Zhou Ze was dumbfounded.

……

Marshal's office.

As soon as Zhou Ze pushed open the door, Zhan Guo waved to him and said with a smile, "Zhou Ze, you did a great job this time!"

Huh? What?

Zhou Ze was a little stunned, then he heard Zhan Guo continue speaking.

"The flag you designed not only united the hearts of hundreds of thousands of sailors, but also demonstrated our navy's determination not to fear pirates. That's excellent!"

Zhou Ze was dumbfounded. He glanced at Vice Admiral Tsuru and Akainu, who were also in the office.

Lieutenant General He was already quite pleased with Zhou Ze after learning about his beloved general's relationship with him yesterday, and now he was beaming with joy.

Even the cold-blooded Red Dog nodded at Zhou Ze today, a rare occurrence, indicating his approval.

"Marshal, I came to ask if that flag could be replaced?" Zhou Ze asked cautiously.

"Change? Why change?" Zhan Guo asked with a smile, then his joy intensified. "You have an even better idea?"

Zhou Ze's lips twitched slightly. "No, it's not."

"Then let's not change it, this is fine." Sengoku waved his hand dismissively!

Zhou Ze was on the verge of tears, but after composing himself, he tried to persuade Zhan Guo, "But I didn't design that flag, it was designed by my subordinate Lieutenant Mike, so..."

Sengoku paused for a moment, then looked as if he had just realized something. "I understand. You want to share the credit with your subordinates, right?"

"You're already a lieutenant general. You can be promoted to any rank below major on your own. There's no need to be so cautious!"

"However, since you've brought it up, how about this: promote Mike to Major of Headquarters. Are you satisfied now?"

Sengoku was clearly in a great mood; Mike had just been promoted three levels, while Zhou Ze wanted to die even more.

Just as he was about to say something more, the alarm blared throughout Marineford.

Sengoku's expression froze, and he grabbed the Den Den Mushi. "What's going on? Why did the alarm go off?"

"Marshal Sengoku, an urgent report has just arrived from the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Speak quickly!"

"The Roswald family, a world noble and a Celestial Dragon, were attacked and kidnapped by the Straw Hat Pirates in the Sabaody Archipelago, enraging the World Government!"

Sengoku was stunned and stood there for a long time before he came to his senses. He then glanced at the people in the room and said in a deep voice to the Den Den Mushi, "Call Borsalino and Kuzan over."

Zhou Ze was also stunned. Luffy and his crew had just defeated Moria the night before last, and they had already arrived at Sabaody Archipelago and beaten up the Celestial Dragons!

Recalling Luffy's incredibly satisfying punch, a smile appeared on Zhou Ze's lips, and he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Next up was the show-off Kizaru. Zhou Ze figured Sengoku probably didn't have time for him right now, so he was about to take his leave when Sengoku spoke up and stopped him.

"Zhou Ze, stay behind for a moment!"

Ok?

Zhou Ze was dumbfounded. The Celestial Dragons were attacked, and the Marine Headquarters had to send an admiral to suppress them. What did this have to do with me? I wasn't under Kizaru's command!

Soon, Kizaru and Aokiji arrived. Now all the bigwigs of the Navy were present. The situation was urgent and could not be delayed.

Aokiji, however, sat casually in the chair, pulled down his eye mask, and said, "I just participated in the Enies Lobby incident, so I won't be going this time."

Upon hearing Aokiji's words, Sengoku stopped looking at him and turned to Akainu and Kizaru.

"The news of Ace's execution will be announced soon, and I can't leave!" Akainu said in a deep voice, his arms crossed.

Now only Kizaru is left.

Kizaru understood he couldn't row any further, so he stood up as soon as Akainu finished speaking.

"How terrifying, Straw Hat Boy! Well then, let this old man deal with them this time!"

Zhou Ze's lips twitched a few times. "You're going to relieve yourself, aren't you?"

Sengoku nodded. "Borusalino, this time it's up to you. Also, call Bartholomew Kuma."

"He failed to take down the Straw Hat crew at Thriller Bark, he can't afford to fail again this time!"

Zhou Ze almost couldn't help but exclaim, "Marshal, you really know how to pick people! You're awesome!"

However, the next second, Zhan Guo continued, "Zhou Ze, you go too."

Zhou Ze was stunned. Holy crap, what does this have to do with me?

I have no reason to stand up for those parasites!

He looked blankly at Lieutenant General He, wondering why he had been sent there.

Lieutenant General Tsuru also noticed Zhou Ze's expression and assumed that Zhou Ze wanted to pick up Tina, so he didn't really want to go to Chambord. He gently comforted him:

"It's alright, just follow the orders. I'll explain things to Tina for you."

Tina? What does this have to do with Tina?

Zhou Ze was even more confused.

Zhan Guo could tell that Zhou Ze didn't want to go, so he patiently explained again.

"Send your warships over there and give those lawless sea scum a good thrashing!"

Holy crap, you guys are all trying to kill me!

Zhou Ze knew that a group of pirate "supernovas" had gathered at Sabaody Archipelago. Although they were no match for Kizaru even if they were all together, there was a great master living in seclusion on the island!

"How terrifying! A Navy Supernova versus a Pirate Supernova... Things are getting interesting!"

Kizaru's sarcastic remarks only strengthened Sengoku's resolve to send Zhou Ze.

Damn it, you old sly fox!

Okay, let's go. Let's have a showdown of acting skills, who's afraid of who!

“Fine, I’ll go.” Zhou Ze raised an eyebrow, glanced at Kizaru, and said through gritted teeth.

When Zhan Guo heard that Zhou Ze had agreed to go, his expression finally brightened, and he said with a smile, "Very good!"

At this moment, Sengoku would never have imagined that the three main forces he had carefully selected were all actors.

Chapter 80 Silvers Reilly (Seeking Silver Tickets)

"Lieutenant General, the naval uniform is so handsome, why are you wearing civilian clothes?"

Mike, who had been promoted by order of the Marshal, was overjoyed, wearing his brand-new major uniform and the "Justice" cloak of a general.

He was puzzled by Zhou Ze's attire.

Zhou Ze, dressed in casual black clothes, twitched his cheek.

Does this mission have anything to do with "justice"? Just looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Mike, tell everyone that Admiral Kizaru is personally leading this mission, so we shouldn't overdo it."

Upon hearing the order, Mike paused for a moment, then quickly grasped the meaning and nodded in deep agreement.

"Indeed, Lieutenant General, you have considered everything very thoroughly. I will go and relay the order immediately!"

Huh? What are you talking about? What do you mean by "well-considered"?

Seeing Zhou Ze looking at him with surprise, Mike felt that Lieutenant General Zhou Ze was testing him, so he puffed out his chest.

"The lieutenant general has been making a name for himself in recent missions, and it is indeed appropriate to give other units a chance to earn merit."

"Besides, Vice Admiral, this is your current goal, so those petty pirates are naturally not in your sights!"

Mike pointed to the "Black Dragon Trampling the Four Emperors" flag on the mainmast as he spoke.

He started imagining things again, and Zhou Ze felt like his head was about to split open.

I'm afraid you'll get beaten to death!

He waved his hand weakly, telling Mike to get lost.

……

Sabaody Archipelago marks the end of the first half of the Grand Line. Ahead lies Mary Geoise, the Holy Land located on the Red Line, and Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, is also nearby.

The world's largest mangrove tree, the Yarchiman mangrove, has roots that extend above the sea surface, resembling giant trees. Each root forms an island, ultimately creating the Sabaody Archipelago.

The 60GR area of ​​the archipelago is a naval and government access zone. After Zhou Ze's warship docked in the shipyard, he once again instructed Mike...

"Everyone, be alert, understand?"

Mike said seriously, "Lieutenant General, you can rest assured!"

Zhou Ze looked at him skeptically for a while before nodding and jumping off the bow of the boat.

"Extra number, extra number!"

Newspaper tycoon Morgans' Seagull newspaper deliverymen scattered newspapers everywhere, causing a gasp of surprise. Zhou Ze grabbed one.

The front page of the newspaper read,

"Fire Fist Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, is to be publicly executed!"

Zhou Ze's hand trembled slightly, then he irritably crumpled it into a ball and tossed it aside.

The Sabaody Archipelago was in complete chaos. The news of the impending arrival of a Marine Admiral had thrown the island's inhabitants and pirates into a panic.

Due to the redeployment of troops from the Navy Headquarters, the number of troops stationed here has been greatly reduced, and the limited forces are unlikely to pose much of a threat to the "Supernovas".

Kizaru was already waiting at the dock, but not for Zhou Ze; he was waiting for his subordinates.

"Hey, Moshi Moshi, this is Kizaru,"

Kizaru raised his left arm and called out to the baby Den Den Mushi on his wrist, then murmured, "How strange, hello, can you hear me? Hello?"

As Zhou Ze watched Kizaru make a series of calls to the small black Den Den Mushi, his lips twitched.

You get into actor mode way too fast, and your acting is way too exaggerated.

"General, that's a Den Den Mushi on your wrist," Zhou Ze couldn't help but remind him. "You should check your person for other Den Den Mushi!"
