One Piece: Get Stronger by Watching Battles

"Marshal, that birdman named Lafitte from Blackbeard's crew infiltrated Mary Geoise; we've all seen him."

"They've infiltrated the Holy Land, so how can we so easily conclude that Blackbeard is alone?"

"I think Blackbeard's accomplices must be hiding in the shadows, plotting something."

Sengoku remained unconcerned, saying, "Even if you add those few bastards, it's nothing."

Zhou Ze was speechless. Fine, after all, your old man was able to wipe out Blackbeard's entire gang with one punch, so he certainly has the confidence to say such things.

After Zhou Ze stopped speaking, the room fell silent again.

The meeting was adjourned only after the little lamb had eaten all the documents.

……

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Five of the Seven Warlords of the Sea are having a banquet.

"Tyrant" Bartholomew Kuma has undergone Dr. Vegapunk's final transformation, lost his original consciousness, and sits quietly to the side reading a book.

"Hawkeye" Jorah Mihawk held a glass of red wine and savored it slowly.

Gecko Moria was enjoying a delicious meal, his body and head still wrapped in bandages, indicating that the injuries he sustained from being defeated by Straw Hat Luffy had not yet healed.

Doflamingo, the "Heavenly Demon," and Marshall D. Teach, the "Blackbeard," clinked their glasses and laughed heartily after exchanging a few words.

At the last Shichibukai meeting, Doflamingo was already somewhat interested in Blackbeard, who dared to send someone to infiltrate Mary Geoise to offer himself up. Unfortunately, Laffitte's performance in front of Zhou Ze was too poor.

It wasn't until Blackbeard captured Ace that Doflamingo began to take the new Shichibukai seriously again.

The two had met several times during their stay in Mary Geoise and had a very pleasant conversation.

Chapter 95 They are brothers! (Third update)

The next day, at 6 a.m., there were still 33 hours until Ace's public execution.

While still asleep, Zhou Ze was woken up by a messenger who said that the marshal had summoned him to assemble in the council hall.

Zhou Ze arrived at the council hall in a daze, not even knowing where he, as a fellow lieutenant general, stood.

Still feeling sleepy, he eventually sat cross-legged in the last spot, closed his eyes, and went back to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Ze felt someone nudging him. He groggily opened his eyes and said, "Is the meeting over?"

Immediately afterwards, a furious shout was heard, "Zhou Ze!"

Zhou Ze was startled, his sleepiness dissipated, and he saw that everyone in the council hall was focused on him, with Marshal Zhan Guo at the head of the hall glaring angrily.

He shrank his neck, stretched out a hand, gestured, and whispered, "Marshal, I'm here!"

Sengoku's face darkened further. At this moment, Vice Admiral Tsuru coughed lightly, "Zhou Ze, a great battle is imminent. Concentrate and listen carefully."

Zhou Ze suddenly realized that it wasn't over yet.

Sleeping in the highest command center of the navy, the safest place, greatly reduces one's vigilance and relaxes one's perception of the outside world.

"Yes," Zhou Ze replied, rubbing his cheeks.

The Warring States period once again scanned the council hall and said in a deep voice:

"Empress Boa Hancock has just arrived at Impel Down, and six of the Seven Warlords of the Sea have confirmed their response."

"After the meeting, a message was sent to Mary Geoise, ordering the other five Shichibukai to come to Marineford."

"Vice Admiral Onigumo, you will be heading to Impel Down tomorrow morning to escort Ace back to Marineford!"

"The three generals each assigned tasks to their subordinates."

"The rest of you shall obey Staff Officer Crane's orders!"

A series of orders were issued from the Sengoku period, making the atmosphere in the council hall much more tense.

Zhou Ze listened with little interest and almost fell asleep again.

After Zhan Guo delivered another morale-boosting speech, the meeting quickly came to an end.

Just when Zhou Ze thought he was free, Lieutenant General He called him back, tilting his head towards the Marshal's office, "Zhou Ze, come with me."

Zhou Ze: "..."

Have I perfectly integrated into the circle of naval bigwigs? I'm always included!

He was paid the salary of a regular vice admiral but did the work of a naval admiral.

Zhou Ze was internally cursing.

"To deal with any unforeseen circumstances, please remain at headquarters as much as possible unless absolutely necessary." Sengoku's voice sounded slightly tired after the meeting.

Before he finished speaking, Garp and the three admirals found their places to rest, and Aokiji even lay down on the tatami mats and fell asleep.

Zhou Ze's lips twitched, and he also walked to the wall, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Marshal Sengoku, an urgent report has just arrived from Impel Down!"

A rear admiral burst in, shouting urgently.

"Hmm? What happened? Could it be Whitebeard?"

"No, the report says it's Straw Hat Luffy who's invaded!"

Sengoku was slightly shocked and muttered, "What? Why would a pirate like him go to the prison? What is his purpose?"

Zhou Ze secretly glanced at Garp, only to see that Garp's expression was normal, and he was still eating senbei.

It seems that although Sengoku knows that Ace is the son of Pirate King Roger and that Luffy is Garp's grandson, he is not yet aware that Ace and Luffy are sworn brothers.

After pondering for a long time, Sengoku said, "No matter what his purpose is, Straw Hat Boy's fate is sealed this time. Among the hundreds of thousands of prisoners imprisoned in the place he broke into, no one can escape."

"Imperial City is a true impregnable fortress. Of course, the invasion was a serious mistake on our part, but he couldn't possibly come out alive."

After speaking, he looked at the major general again.

"Don't worry about it, Impel Down's defenses are strong enough to deal with him."

Zhou Ze closed his eyes. "Marshal, you've miscalculated this time."

"Hahahaha," Garp suddenly burst into laughter.

"What's so funny, Garp!" Sengoku slammed his fist on the table and roared, "You keep causing trouble one after another. Enies Lobby, the Celestial Dragons incident—all unheard of—and now this Impel Down invasion! Why is it always your grandson, Garp, who's causing all this trouble?!"

"Hahaha, you're really something! No wonder you're my grandson!" Garp laughed heartily, giving a thumbs-up in praise.

"What a joke!" Sengoku grabbed Garp by the collar, spitting as he spoke. "If you weren't a hero of the Navy, you'd have to take responsibility for your clan, Garp!"

"This situation is far more serious than my old life can resolve." Garp laughed again and popped a senbei into his mouth.

Sengoku snatched the entire bag of senbei in a huff. "Do you know how much effort Tsuru and I put into cleaning up this mess?"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and poured the rest of the senbei into his mouth.

"Luffy infiltrated Impel Down to save Ace; they're brothers!" Garp said, chewing on a senbei.

"Cough, cough," Sengoku coughed violently, choked by the cough.

Zhou Ze also looked at Garp with a surprised expression.

At the same time, advance into the city.

Straw Hat Luffy encountered "The Clown" Buggy on the first basement level, and then met Mr. 3 Galdino of Baroque Works on the second basement level.

The prison break team is taking shape, and a thrilling and hilarious "prison break" journey begins.

Six underground floors.

Jinbe, the "Knight of the Sea," told Ace about the tragic experiences of fish-men and mermaids who had long suffered discrimination and were even captured and sold.

"It was at this moment that Whitebeard appeared and said, 'This island is my territory now.' With just those words, no one dared to attack Fishman Island again. I will never forget that."

"Ace, even if it means death, I want to stop this war!"

"Everyone knows how chaotic the world would become if Whitebeard were defeated; the government couldn't possibly be unaware of this."

"hateful!"

Ace, who had been keeping his head down, raised it slightly and said in a weak voice, "Jinbe, let it go. It will only cause more pain."

Jinbe said solemnly, "I haven't given up hope. I believe in miracles and chance."

"Hahaha, things seem to be getting interesting out here!" Crocodile suddenly burst into laughter from the cell across the way. "Isn't this the perfect opportunity to defeat Whitebeard? It's truly exhilarating!"

"You bastard!" Jinbe roared!

Crocodile laughed again, "Not just me, there are plenty of people who want to kill Whitebeard, hahahahaha!"

Instantly, the entire sixth basement level erupted in commotion, with prisoners screaming and yelling.

"Kill Whitebeard!"

"Let me fight too, I will take his head!"

"..."

"..."

Crocodile's eyes narrowed. "Jinbe, Ace, remember this: there are plenty of pirates on these seas who have retired in resentment because they couldn't defeat Whitebeard and Roger!"

"Hahahaha..."

Chapter 96 Pirate Empress! Boa Hancock!

Marshal's office.

The truth that Garp revealed shocked everyone, and the room fell silent once again.

As a member of the Navy, Garp ultimately chose responsibility over family ties and the "justice" in his heart.

Zhou Ze could imagine how much pain was hidden beneath Garp's playful exterior.

However, Karp wouldn't allow himself to take action.

Zhou Ze ultimately had no choice but to sigh inwardly.

After a long while, Sengoku rubbed his forehead, looking troubled, and after a few moments, he picked up the Den Den Mushi.
