Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

"Run...ah..."

"..."

When the opposing Marines saw Luffy in such a state, they were all so frightened that they dropped their guns and ran away.

"A rebound!"

Before all the marines had even run out of the training ground, Luffy suddenly leaned his entire body forward with force.

Then, countless bullets were seen ejected from Luffy's body and hurtled towards the entire naval force.

Because Zhao Hai already knew Luffy was going to use this move, he cleverly avoided Luffy's front and moved to the side.

"This Paramecia-type Gum-Gum Fruit is truly amazing! No wonder it's the source of power known as the Devil Fruit."

"Wouldn't Logia-type Devil Fruit users be able to defy the heavens?"

Zhao Hai watched as Luffy effortlessly defeated most of the marines at the entire naval base, and couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Devil Fruit.

"Boy!"

"I am the highest-ranking officer in this naval base, Axeman - Colonel Morgan. You must have eaten some kind of Devil Fruit, right?"

Colonel Morgan slowly approached Luffy and spoke arrogantly.

"Devil Fruit?"

"What is that?"

Zoro, standing nearby, was puzzled by Colonel Morgan's question. "What is a 'Devil Fruit'? How can it have such amazing power?"

"Devil Fruit?"

"A supreme treasure in the ocean. I never thought Mr. Luffy would have the opportunity to obtain it. No wonder he has such amazing power."

Koby, who was not far away, nodded as if he understood.

Although Coby is timid, he has always aspired to become an outstanding naval commander and has never stopped collecting knowledge about the sea.

So I had heard of the secret treasure of the sea—the Devil Fruit—but I had never had the chance to see it before.

"Yes!"

"Haha... I ate a rubber fruit when I was a child, so I am a rubber person."

"You don't seem too weak. You shouldn't be as easily beaten as your marines, right? I am Monkey D. Luffy. Nice to meet you!"

Luffy looked at Colonel Morgan, whose muscles were bursting with power, and changed his tone, abandoning his previous playful manner, and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Colonel Morgan.

Chapter Twelve: Luffy's Formidable Strength

"Instructions?"

"Heh... You think you're worthy of being taught a lesson by this colonel?"

"So what if you ate a Devil Fruit? In the end, you're just a greenhorn who hasn't even grown all his hair yet. You think you can fight me?"

"Die in style, you great man!"

Just as Luffy bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, Colonel Morgan's eyes flashed with a cold glint. He shouted sharply, raised his right hand, and without hesitation, swung his sharp giant axe fiercely toward Luffy's neck.

"overtake!"

"This is the highest-ranking officer in the entire naval base. Damn, they really do live up to their reputation as a navy that prides itself on 'justice'!"

Zhao Hai's lips twitched violently as he looked at the large word "Justice" on the back of Colonel Monca's naval uniform and at his crisp, decisive axe-slaying motion.

Just as the axe was about to strike Luffy's body, Luffy casually turned around slightly in an extremely contorted position.

"bump……"

"Click..."

The heavy axe slammed into the ground, and the stone slab beneath it, unable to withstand the immense force, shattered with a deafening crash.

Luffy, utilizing his rubber body, easily dodged the powerful blow from the axe.

"Now that the sword has been drawn, it is no longer just a matter of instruction, but a life-or-death battle that we are willing to risk our lives for."

Luffy looked at the dented stone slab beside him, stared intently at Colonel Morgan, and said with a serious expression.

"Kid! You're still trying to act tough in front of me."

"die!"

When Colonel Morgan saw that his attack had failed and that the straw-hatted kid was still acting all smug and pretentious, he was instantly enraged. He roared again and charged toward Luffy at top speed.

"Bang...bang..."

"bump……"

"Pfft... Pfft..."

In the blink of an eye, Luffy and Colonel Morgan had exchanged three blows.

Luffy skillfully dodged Colonel Morgan's sharp axe, completely suppressing the colonel's attacks and forcing him to retreat steadily.

"Am I seeing things?"

"The strongest person in our entire naval base, Colonel... Morgan..."

"Colonel Monka was completely overwhelmed by this boy in the straw hat!"

"..."

When the surrounding navy saw Captain Morgan make his move, they thought the straw-hatted boy would be instantly killed by Captain Morgan's axe.

The navy, which had prepared itself to ignore this brutal scene, was shocked to find that the situation had completely reversed. It turned out that their invincible Captain Morgan was being overwhelmed, causing a series of exclamations throughout the navy.

"Luffy is really strong. He's probably close to being a Marine Admiral. I need to improve my strength as well."

Zhao Hai clenched his fist as he watched Luffy so easily subdue Marine Colonel Morgan.

"rubber!"

Perhaps Luffy had had enough of playing with Colonel Morgan, because he stretched out his arms and grabbed Colonel Morgan's hands tightly, then stretched and twisted them repeatedly, firmly imprisoning Colonel Morgan's entire body and lifting him up.

"hammer……"

Then, Luffy roared and used his entire outstretched arm as a hammer and Captain Morgan's entire body as an iron head, slamming them hard into the ground.

"bump……"

Captain Morgan's body was slammed hard onto the floor by Luffy, the sound of it hitting the ground echoing throughout the entire naval execution ground.

Then Captain Monca fell straight down in front of the entire navy.

"Click...click..."

Then, Luffy stomped heavily on Colonel Morgan's body again.

"what……"

Colonel Monca was furious when he saw that he had been knocked down and defeated by a mere boy, and that the boy had even stepped on his noble body.

Then, Colonel Monca couldn't bear the humiliation any longer, so he simply chose to ignore it and passed out cleanly.

The entire navy at the execution ground stared intently, stunned and frozen in place by the shocking scene.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

"Stop...! You need to... release my dad right now!"

"Otherwise...or I'll shoot this little girl!"

Suddenly, a trembling, frightened voice rang out across the execution ground, shattering the rare moment of tranquility.

Everyone turned their heads and looked toward the source of the sound.

In the far corner of the execution ground, Bellemere, who had somehow escaped from the chaos, was now trembling as he pointed a pistol at a cute little girl who looked about seven or eight years old.

"Wow! Colonel Morgan's son is a complete scoundrel!"

"Yes! They actually threatened such a young girl."

"We are the most righteous navy on this continent! How could we do such a thing!"

"..."

The surrounding navy was instantly enraged when they saw that Captain Monca's son, young Master Bellemere, was using such a small girl as a threat.

"Young Master Bellemere, release this innocent little girl! We are the righteous navy that protects the people; we cannot do something that tarnishes our reputation!"

"It's not too late to let go now, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable if headquarters investigates!"

A relatively righteous naval lieutenant commander stepped forward and earnestly tried to dissuade him.

"Shut up!"

"Has my father done nothing like this many times? Have you ever tried to stop him? Would you dare to try to stop him like this?"

Bellumber gave a stern shout to the naval lieutenant commander who stepped forward.

The naval lieutenant commander and the surrounding sailors fell silent, heads bowed low, their initial anger instantly subsiding.

Seeing that all the marines had fallen silent, Helmeppo became smug and said, "So in this world, might makes right, strength is everything, and everything else is bullshit!"

“Although my father, Colonel Monca, just disregarded my life and death, and I hate him, he cannot die because he has power; he allows me to do whatever I want in this town…”

"This navy really has problems. Are you sure you still want to join such a navy?"

Not far away, Zoro listened to Helmeppo's "generous and eloquent" words and asked Coby, who was being protected by him.

"Ok!"

"This is only a small part of the navy. I believe the vast majority of the navy is good. I must become an outstanding navy officer, even if I start from the lowest level of a menial soldier!"

Upon hearing Zoro's words, Coby clenched his fist tightly and nodded with unusual determination.

"Hey kid in the straw hat! If you want this little girl to live, you'd better release my father and then surrender obediently!"

"Hahaha……"

Helmeppo, perhaps because he had just rendered all the Marines speechless, thought he had gained the base's approval and support, and that he could use this little girl to get revenge on the straw-hatted devil who had just beaten him up, just like he had tormented Zoro. So, he suddenly felt a surge of pride and roared at Luffy.

"Big brother! No, please don't worry about me. I don't want to be a burden to you."
