One Piece: Get Stronger by Watching Battles

Page 71

"Regardless of victory or defeat, this battle will change the entire world order!"

"Let us all strive together!"

The marshal set the tone, and Zhou Ze followed suit, but he was increasingly resentful that Blackbeard had become the biggest winner.

……

"Hey, Marine, I have a question for you. Who was that young vice admiral just now?" Hancock called out to the Marine who was leading the way.

The marine responsible for leading Hancock to her guest room was a captain from headquarters. He stiffened, slowly turned around, and said nervously:

“Princess Hancock, that is Vice Admiral Zhou Ze from the Navy Headquarters.”

“Zhou Ze?” Hancock frowned.

Daughter Island is located in the doldrums, making it isolated from the outside world. In addition, she already disliked the navy, so she had no idea who Zhou Ze was.

"Yes, Vice Admiral Zhou Ze is the most outstanding officer in the Navy in decades..." The Navy captain began to introduce Zhou Ze's formidable strength to Hancock, inevitably making some artistic embellishments.

Of course, he himself felt that he was telling the truth and there was no exaggeration involved.

"'Ink Dragon'?"

"Yes, that's Lieutenant General Zhou Ze's title. His flag is the 'Black Dragon Trampling the Four Emperors' flag. I heard from Major Mike that after this incident, Lieutenant General Zhou Ze's flagship will also undergo modifications."

"Oh, Major Mike is Lieutenant General Zhou Ze's adjutant, so his words are absolutely credible."

Hancock's heart sank even further upon hearing this. The Navy had suddenly produced someone whose strength rivaled that of an Admiral. She hoped that Luffy could successfully rescue his brother and that they would not end up in Marineford.

"Lead the way, I want to go see Zhou Ze's flagship." Hancock's tone left no room for argument.

“This… yes!” The naval lieutenant hesitated for a moment, then saw a hint of allure in Hancock’s eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately agreed.

……

"Marshal, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have arrived at Marineford!" Vice Admiral Stroberry reported as he entered. "They are now being arranged to rest in their guest rooms."

"Yes, very good, you've worked hard!" Sengoku nodded.

Zhou Ze raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhan Guo, and then asked softly, "How many came?"

Sengoku was taken aback, but seeing the strange look on Strawberry's face, he immediately sensed something was wrong. "Speak!"

"Four Shichibukai have arrived: Mihawk, Doflamingo, Kuma, and Moria."

Sengoku's expression softened considerably upon hearing that four people were present. "Where's Blackbeard? Isn't he also in Mary Geoise?"

"Blackbeard said he would arrive a little later, so I left a warship to wait for him!"

"Tch," Zhou Ze chuckled dismissively, glanced at the sky outside the window, and closed his eyes again.

Sengoku waved for Lieutenant General Stolberg to leave, his brow furrowed as if he were considering something.

"Zhou Ze!"

After a long silence, Zhan Guo suddenly spoke. Zhou Ze opened his eyes and looked at him in confusion, then heard Zhan Guo say:

"It seems you were right, Blackbeard is indeed plotting something."

Akainu suddenly spoke up, saying in a deep voice, "We never expected the pirates to be on our side. Right now, our fighting strength is precious. It's not too late to deal with them after this incident is over."

Sengoku glanced at Akainu, having previously wanted to say something more to Zhou Ze, but now hesitated.

"Forget it, he hasn't taken any concrete action yet. If we rashly deal with him, the other Seven Warlords of the Sea might harbor resentment."

Sengoku finally waved his hand, sat back in his chair, and began to ponder again.

Zhou Ze had thought that Sengoku would order him to deal with Blackbeard, but with Akainu's interference, that plan was no longer viable, and he was slightly disappointed.

But soon he stopped caring; it was just a matter of time.

The Marineford War was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Blackbeard, and also an opportunity for Zhou Ze to deal with Blackbeard's crew.

Chapter 98 The Longest Day! (Third Update, Please Give Me Tickets)

"Buri buri buri"

The Den Den Mushi rang, and Sengoku answered it.

"Fleet Commander, Impel Down report: Straw Hat Luffy has been defeated by Warden Magellan and is now hunting down the other escaped prisoners!"

"understood."

Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi, glanced at Garp, and Zhou Ze also squinted and looked over.

Karp was fast asleep with his mouth wide open, exhaling a large snot bubble with each breath, and still had a half-eaten donut in his mouth.

Zhou Ze knew that although Luffy was defeated, Magellan did not finish him off, and he was eventually rescued by the King of Medicine, Ivankov.

Luffy is probably wailing in pain right now.

Impel Down, 5.5 stories underground.

In the room locked by thick iron chains, Luffy's screams were heart-wrenching.

"Go, little straw hat! Go!"

Mr. 2 Bon Clay shouted at the top of his lungs to encourage Luffy. This pirate, who followed the path of human medicine and cherished his friends and comrades, was a true man in every sense of the word.

Feng Kelei's repeated shouts of "Go for it!" finally moved everyone in the newcomer Yao Paradise, and they all cheered in unison.

"come on!"

"..."

Even in hell, the flower of friendship blooms brilliantly!

Go for it, Straw Hat Boy!

……

The sky gradually darkened, then gradually brightened again.

When the sun shines on Marineford again, the day that will change the world has finally arrived.

Zhou Ze slept in a guest room at headquarters that night and was woken up early the next morning.

It was 6 a.m., 9 hours before Ace's public execution.

Outside Marineford's crescent-shaped harbor, 50 warships guard the entire island.

On the square inside the bay, 10 elite naval troops are gathering. Marines are busy transporting ammunition, and the atmosphere is tense.

"Tashigi, today's battle is extraordinary, be careful."

Brigadier General Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth and his gloves tightened, gave instructions to Tashigi beside him.

"Miss Tina, I am willing to protect you with my life!"

"Please let me give my life for you!"

Not far away, Fenbudi and Zango also spoke to Tina at the same time.

"Enough with the chit-chat!" Tina lit a cigarette, took a drag, exhaled the smoke, and turned to look at the main fortress, her gaze unfathomable.

Zhou Ze should be inside, right? Yes, he's a powerful lieutenant general, he must have important arrangements to make.

"Mike, are you scared?" Lieutenant Sherman from G-5 Fortress asked Mike, who was standing on the edge of the area.

Mike glared at Sherman, gritted his teeth,

“I am Lieutenant General Zhou Ze’s adjutant. We lieutenant generals aim to crush the ‘Four Emperors’. Why would I be afraid?”

"Then why are you shaking?"

"I wasn't shaking!"

"I saw it, you were really shaking..."

"This is exciting!"

"..."

The outermost area is a gathering place for unorganized marines.

Mike was the only field-grade officer on Zhou Ze's ship, while at G-5 base where Sherman was stationed, Lieutenant General Vergo, the base commander, made an excuse not to come and only sent Sherman, a greenhorn lieutenant.

Sherman licked his lips, his voice trembling with excitement, "I can't wait."

After a quick breakfast, just like yesterday, Zhou Ze went to the Marshal's office to wait. It was another day of clocking in for work, and Zhou Ze seemed a little listless.

"Marshal, Vice Admiral Onigumo has led four other vice admirals, a total of five warships, to Impel Down. The handover is expected to be completed by 9:4 AM, and they will be able to return to Marineford before 12:5 PM!"

When Zhou Ze entered, a messenger was giving a report.

"Has the crackdown on the prisoner escape from Impel Down ended?"

"Yes, Impel Down reports. Only a few fugitives remain at large, and the rest of the criminals have been subdued!"

"very good!"

Zhan Guo nodded, quite satisfied.

Zhou Ze's lips twitched; he knew who the so-called "only a few remaining fugitives" were.

Bucky the Joker, Mr. 2 Funkley, and Mr. 3 Galdino.

These three are the main members of the prison break team!

He's been blessed with "Conqueror's Luck"!

A master of "super impersonation"!

A "master key" expert!

Judging by the time, they should be starting their show soon.
