After giving instructions to Zhao Hai, Major General Sicily asked the soldiers who were lined up and waiting.

"I……"

"I've been itching to punch this arrogant brat for ages!"

"That's right! Just thinking about that kid's contemptuous face makes me want to tear it apart."

"..."

“Our great technology is not to be desecrated. I, an old man, am going to go up and see how it struggles in the face of my technology.”

Among the group of old scholars, a hot-tempered old doctor patted his robotic arm and angrily volunteered.

"Good good..."

Seeing the high enthusiasm of the surrounding navy, the Sicilian Rear Admiral also cheered repeatedly.

After a while, the Sicilian Major General felt that the atmosphere was about right, waved his hand, and said with a "serious" expression, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll just randomly pick three people to come out."

Although it was said to be a random selection, Sicily specifically chose three tall, strong, and muscular men from the group of naval soldiers waiting in line.

Major General Sicily originally intended to select the old doctor who volunteered, but after seeing the powerful mechanical arm in the old doctor's hand, he gave up the idea.

If the old man accidentally kills Zhao Hai, the Sicilian Major General knows that he won't be able to get away with it. Besides, he just wants to teach this kid a lesson.

It's fine to teach someone a lesson if there's a reason, and Garp won't hold it against him. But if someone accidentally dies, the Marine Headquarters will probably be turned upside down. Rear Admiral Sicily doesn't want to bear the wrath of Garp's iron fist.

"Kid, Grandpa will teach you a lesson in no time!"

"Kid, you're so arrogant now. Wait till Grandpa's fist hits you and you're crying for your parents. Then we'll see if you'll still dare to be so cocky."

"That's right! A mere teenager dares to provoke us with force; he's courting death!"

As soon as the three naval soldiers selected by the Sicilian Rear Admiral entered Zhao Hai's territory, they couldn't help but vent their pent-up anger, shouting and scorning at Zhao Hai.

Facing the three arguing naval soldiers, Zhao Hai scoffed, "These trash dare to rant? They really think too highly of themselves! They've been on the Grand Line for so long, and they still don't know how high the sky is?"

Actually, Zhao Hai can't entirely blame these naval soldiers for their contempt for him.

After all, this is not the Grand Line, but the East Blue, which is recognized as the weakest sea area on the entire continent. Naturally, they believed that Zhao Hai could not possibly be as strong as those monstrous young men in the Marine Headquarters.

"Let the duel begin, but stop when you've made your point; no one may be killed, or you will be punished according to military law!"

Seeing that the situation had become tense, the Sicilian Major General did not hesitate any longer and gave the order.

"Boy!"

"Look at the fist!"

As soon as the Sicilian Rear Admiral gave the order, one of the naval soldiers shouted and rushed towards Zhao Hai with a fierce and powerful punch.

Hearing the sound, which seemed to have the power to shatter rocks, Zhao Hai's eyes flashed with surprise. "Those who come from the Grand Line are indeed more powerful. Even ordinary naval soldiers are a notch stronger than those bullies in the East Blue."

Although somewhat surprised, Zhao Hai wasn't too taken aback. "Those from big cities are, after all, from big cities."

"Wow! Has this kid gone mad with fear?"

"They must have been too stunned to move by the sound of the captain's punch."

"Wow! Kid, weren't you so cocky just now? Where did your arrogance go? Hahaha..."

"Hahaha……"

The surrounding navy soldiers burst into laughter when they saw Zhao Hai remain motionless in the face of the powerful naval soldier's punch.

"Hmph! I thought you were capable enough to be noticed by Garp, that you must have some skill."

"This must be another one that old man Garp just picked up somewhere. I even went out of my way to find three of the strongest Marines, who are close to warrant officers, just in case. It seems that was completely unnecessary."

Seeing Zhao Hai's unchanged expression, the Sicilian Major General assumed that he must have been startled by the sound of the punch. He shook his head in boredom and made as if to turn and leave.

"Although he is a notch above the average bully in the East China Sea."

"But to this young master, they are all worthless trash."

Just as the naval soldier's fist was about to enlarge in Zhao Hai's pupils and smash into his youthful face, Zhao Hai moved, using the Fish Leap Transformation Technique.

However, it could also be said that it didn't move, because it only shifted slightly, and most of the surrounding navy did not notice it.

Only a few experienced sailors on the ship and the Sicilian Major General noticed this.

"Hmm? I didn't expect this kid to have such strong perception."

The Sicilian Major General, who was just about to leave, frowned slightly, stopped, and looked at Zhao Hai with some surprise.

"Charge punch!"

Since the opponent was ruthless enough, Zhao Hai was also prepared to teach the opponent a lesson. With a loud shout, he channeled his power into his right hand, slightly bent his arm, and unleashed a powerful punch.

Zhao Hai hadn't used this boxing technique he had developed in combat for a while.

Because this punch contains a hidden inch-force, capable of easily breaking the neck of a wild boar, its destructive power is too great, so Zhao Hai generally doesn't use it.

But now that he's being bullied, Zhao Hai has to show some strength to deter these scoundrels. Otherwise, they'll really think he's someone easy to bully. Otherwise, any random naval soldier would dare to shit on his head, and he'd be driven crazy by their annoyance.

However, this was naval territory after all, so Zhao Hai held back; otherwise, that punch would probably have killed the naval soldier.

"what……"

"bump……"

As expected, the first naval soldier to charge forward was punched in the thigh by Zhao Hai, screamed in pain, and fell to the ground, unconscious from the pain.

"Chao! What's going on?"

"Shouldn't this kid be lying down? How... how did the captain collapse?"

"Damn it! This is weird, the kid didn't move at all!"

"..."

The surrounding navy soldiers were puzzled when they saw the naval soldier who was rushing towards Zhao Hai suddenly scream and fall to the ground. They all shouted and discussed loudly.

Even the two other men next to the naval soldier were completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

"This kid is not only sensitive, but also quite strong. No wonder that old man Garp specifically asked me to pick him up."

While the surrounding navy personnel didn't get a clear look at the situation, Rear Admiral Sicily, standing nearby, had seen all of Zhao Hai's actions.

At this moment, Major General Sicily's anger at Lieutenant General Cap for asking him to take over Zhao Hai had completely dissipated.

After all, Zhao Hai's strength and talent are undeniable. Geniuses deserve preferential treatment, and this is the most enduring truth in this world.

Because only the truly strong can stand firm on this continent.

Although Rear Admiral Sicily was no longer angry with Zhao Hai, he was curious about Zhao Hai's true strength. Besides, these naval soldiers couldn't hurt him, so Rear Admiral Sicily didn't say anything to stop him.

"This is so boring! Ugh... you guys have really woken me up."

"This is really boring. You two should come together! I want to get back and catch up on some sleep."

After taking care of the naval soldier at the front, Zhao Hai said to the other two naval soldiers with a bored expression.

"Kid! Stop trying to play tricks on me."

Despite their fear, the other two naval soldiers mustered their courage and charged forward together.

"The Seven Transformations of Heaven - The Leaping Fish Transformation!"

Seeing the two naval soldiers rushing towards him at lightning speed, Zhao Hai activated his Fish Leap Transformation Technique and then flashed forward to meet them.

"bump……"

"bump……"

Two loud thuds of fists hitting flesh rang out, and then the two naval soldiers, as expected, fell straight down.

"Major General Sicily, I think I've resolved this matter. I'm going to go to sleep now."

Zhao Hai waved to the Sicilian Major General in a very "polite" manner, and without waiting for the Sicilian Major General to speak, he walked alone to his room.

He was left alone with a group of bewildered naval soldiers standing in the wind, and the Sicilian Rear Admiral, whose face was filled with embarrassment.

Rear Admiral Sicily originally thought that even if his three naval soldiers couldn't hurt the kid, they could at least test the kid's abilities.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hai, despite his young age, has already surpassed or even rivaled the young geniuses of the Navy Headquarters in strength.

The battle ended in just a few moves, and Major General Sicily had no idea how much strength Zhao Hai possessed.

"Major General Sicily, are we really just going to let that kid go like this?"

Among the naval soldiers, a disgruntled one stepped forward and asked.

"Let them go? What difference would it make if I didn't? Do you think my words, spoken personally, are a joke?"

"It's all because you bunch of good-for-nothings are useless. You can't even beat a kid from the East China Sea. What more do you want?"

"Do you expect me, the general, to take action? I don't have the nerve to do that!"

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned. Hearing the naval soldier bring it up, the Sicilian Rear Admiral instantly exploded, pointing at the surrounding naval personnel and launching into a tirade of abuse.

He vented all his frustration on these ignorant naval soldiers, then stormed off.

What could the surrounding navy do upon hearing this?

refute?

He wasn't strong enough to even beat a kid from a small town, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, his face flushed.

……

……

"Sigh! It seems that I must put the training to consolidate my strength on the agenda."

"Let's use our time on this warship to completely solidify our power to the level 20 that we can wield freely!"

As Zhao Hai entered the room, he thought about the scene of the fight just now. Although he seemed to have easily defeated his opponent, he had surprised the surrounding navy.

In reality, only Zhao Hai himself could understand how much pain he had just been in.

They wanted to fight freely, but they were afraid that someone would die and that would be the end of it.

The frustration of having to suppress his own power while fighting, lest he kill someone, was unbearable for Zhao Hai.
