Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

Before he even arrived, Zhao Hai's voice had already echoed along the entire coastline.

"Uh--"

Not far from the shore, two resolute young men, panting heavily and lying on the ground, were taken aback by Zhao Hai's words.

"call--"

Perhaps it was because Zhao Hai had been suppressing himself too much in the past year, but he used the Fish Leap Transformation Technique to cover just a few steps and arrived beside Koby and Gary with a "whoosh".

Zhao Hai was somewhat surprised to see that Koby was still "comfortably" "sleeping" on the ground, completely unmoved by his words. "Isn't Koby always pestering me to have a sword fight?"

Slightly regaining his senses, Zhao Hai asked Koby with a puzzled look, "Haven't you always wanted to have a swordsmanship contest with He?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Koby did not answer immediately, but looked at him with a very complicated expression.

At that moment, Koby had an urge to yell at Zhao Hai, "Didn't you see I'm exhausted? Otherwise, why would Gary and I be lying on the ground for no reason?"

However, Koby ultimately didn't shout it out, because he was so tired that he barely had the energy to speak.

"Since you don't want to compete anymore, I'll leave. I have something to do with Bogart."

Seeing that Koby did not answer, Zhao Hai said something indifferently, and then used the Fish Leap Transformation Technique to rush towards Bogart's location, which was also Garp's office.

"Uh--"

Watching Zhao Hai disappear quickly from sight, Gary and Coby, lying on the ground, exchanged a bewildered glance. "We're obviously exhausted! Where did you get the idea that we didn't want to compete?"

……

"Thump thump thump... thump thump..."

Zhao Hai knocked on the door outside Garp's office.

Because of Zhao Hai's current fame, he can easily have countless underlings at his service with a wave of his hand, so he doesn't have to worry about getting lost at Marine Headquarters at all.

"Enter!"

A moment later, a rough voice came from inside.

As Zhao Hai entered Garp's office, he secretly observed the room's decor. It was his first time in Garp's office, so he couldn't help but look around.

After taking a look around at old man Garp's office, Zhao Hai thought to himself, "This office is quite nicely decorated, with a kind of understated luxury. In the future, I, this young master, must have an office even more luxurious than this!"

Looking at the old man Garp sleeping soundly on his desk, Zhao Hai was speechless. A dignified vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters was neglecting his duties and openly sleeping in his office.

Seeing Garp like this, Zhao Hai was heartbroken. "If you don't want to be a vice admiral, then let me take the position! This is just occupying the position without doing anything!"

However, Zhao Hai knew that some things were better left unsaid, so he patted Garp's office and said, "Vice Admiral Garp! Get up!"

At the same time, Zhao Hai was also very surprised as to how the rough voice he heard outside the door came about. After all, old man Garp was sleeping very soundly, and there was no one else in the room at the moment.

Zhao Hai called out many times before the old man Garp finally woke up from his dream, looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Oh, it's you, kid! What are you doing here?"

"I just came to tell Bogart that I can no longer train with him in swordsmanship," Zhao Hai replied.

"Oh."

Old Man Garp responded with a soft "yes".

"By the way, old man Garp, your office is nicely decorated. Who was the decorator? Introduce me to them."

At this moment, Zhao Hai did not forget to ask about the renovation of old man Karp's office.

"Huhuhu..."

"I'm awesome!"

Zhao Hai was waiting for Garp to continue, but unexpectedly, the old man started gurgling after only a few seconds.

"It seems that old man Garp can't be trusted. I'd better leave a note here!"

Seeing that old man Garp was like this, Zhao Hai didn't dare to rely on him, so he left a note before leaving.

"Now I can finally relax!"

Stepping out of Garp's office, Zhao Hai took a deep breath of the fresh air. "I heard from Ade that a great chef recently joined the Navy mess hall. It's about time I went to check him out."

Without any physical training tasks, Zhao Hai felt relaxed and, in high spirits, headed towards the naval mess hall.

The naval mess hall was a place Zhao Hai used to avoid at all costs, so for the past year, he had been eating at restaurants in town.

Although Ade said that the chefs in the cafeteria were now quite skilled, Zhao Hai was not entirely convinced and remained skeptical.

After walking along quiet paths and through a long training ground, Zhao Hai arrived at his destination amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd—a magnificent building with the words "Naval Dining Hall" written on it.

Needless to say, the size of the naval mess hall is immense, capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of naval diners; you wouldn't find a smaller one there.

Zhao Hai walked into the place he hadn't visited for a year. Looking at the neat and clean dining tables around him, he saw that it had indeed improved a lot compared to a year ago, at least in terms of hygiene.

"I wonder if this chef's cooking skills are as good as Ade said?"

Please add this to your favorites.

Chapter Fifty: The Indulgent Zhao Hai

Looking at the new look of the naval canteen, Zhao Hai felt a surge of anticipation.

Since there's still some time before lunch, there's not a single person in the huge cafeteria right now, excluding Zhao Hai, of course.

Zhao Hai walked straight to a door that read "Kitchen restricted area, no unauthorized personnel allowed," then pushed the door open and went inside, completely ignoring the sign.

"Hey, hey, hey... didn't you see the sign outside that says 'Kitchen restricted area, no unauthorized personnel allowed'? Who are you? Who let you in?"

Suddenly, just as Zhao Hai entered the kitchen, a cute little girl with pigtails greeted him sweetly.

"Uh?"

Looking at the little girl who was barely waist-high standing in front of him, Zhao Hai was momentarily stunned by her barrage of questions.

However, Zhao Hai quickly realized what was happening and said to the little girl, "Little sister, it's not right for you to ask people questions like that. In the future, you should ask people one question at a time, otherwise they won't remember them. Only a genius like me can remember all your questions so quickly..."

Seeing the little girl about to interrupt him, Zhao Hai continued, "You must think I was just bragging, right? Well then, I'll answer your question first! You must really want to know, so I won't waste any more time..."

Seeing the little girl cover her ears and run away, Zhao Hai quickly said loudly, "Brother is the legendary figure of the new generation of the Navy - Caribbean Sea. As for who asked me to come, of course, I came by myself when I wanted to eat."

"Shameless! You actually claim to be a legendary figure among the new generation of the Navy. I've been here for so long and I've never seen you before. You must be a nobody in the Navy."

Hearing Zhao Hai's shout, the little girl turned around, pouted at him, and looked incredulous.

"shameless?"

"A nobody?"

Zhao Hai was completely bewildered by the little girl's "vicious" words.

Zhao Hai, a man known as an invincible young man who could sweep aside the younger generation of the navy, was now being looked down upon by a little girl who was not even ten years old and no more than a meter tall.

"Little sister, you can't say that without any basis. Let me explain it to you properly."

Seeing the little girl run away, Zhao Hai quickly chased after her to correct her mistaken idea, while muttering something to himself.

It would have been better if Zhao Hai hadn't said those words; the moment they left his mouth, it created a strange atmosphere, like a creepy old man trying to abduct a little girl.

"Don't go!"

Zhao Hai felt utterly powerless as he watched the little girl hide from him and disappear before his eyes.

"Boy, are you bullying my precious disciple?"

Just as Zhao Hai was in a daze, he was startled awake by a sharp shout from behind him.

Turning his head, Zhao Hai was overwhelmed with excitement when he saw who had spoken.

Seeing the newcomer's braided golden beard, tall chef's hat, and wooden prosthetic right leg, Zhao Hai's hands trembled with excitement. "Since 'Red-Leg' Zeff is here, then Sanji, the Straw Hat Pirates' original chef from One Piece, must be..."

The thought of this possibility made Zhao Hai restless. "If Sanji hadn't joined the Straw Hat Pirates yet, wouldn't I be able to come to Sanji's place anytime to enjoy his food?"

"You must be Zhepu, the 'Red-Foot' from the East China Sea restaurant, Balati? I'm also from the East China Sea, we're from the same hometown!"

In an effort to build rapport, Zhao Hai played the emotional card of "East China Sea friendship" and "hometown ties," looking at "Redfoot" Zhepu with a tearful expression, as if they were old friends meeting again.

"You're also from the East China Sea?"

Red-Leg Zeff wasn't surprised that Zhao Hai could recognize him at a glance, after all, Red-Leg Zeff was quite well-known in the Grand Line.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Zeff was no longer glaring at him angrily, Zhao Hai asked again, "By the way, I heard you have a disciple named Sanji. Where is he?"

While asking the questions, Zhao Hai also took the time to look around.

"Oh, you know Sanji too, but you don't need to look for him anymore, he's not here."

Zeff was somewhat surprised that Zhao Hai didn't even know about the Straw Hat Pirates, who had been making headlines recently, but he didn't say much about Sanji.

"Uh—okay!"

Zhao Hai was a little disappointed that he wouldn't get to taste Sanji's cooking, but the thought that Zeff's cooking skills were also top-notch made him feel a little better.

"Gu... gu..."

Suddenly, a "cooing" sound rang out.

Seeing that both Zeff and the little girl were looking at him, Zhao Hai scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Uncle Zeff, I'm hungry. Could I have something to eat first?"

"Why don't you wait outside for a while?"

Zeff said something casually and walked into the kitchen, where the sounds of pots and pans clattering could be heard.

"Little sister, shall I tell you a story?"

Seeing Zeff busy inside, Zhao Hai didn't forget to correct the little girl's misconceptions, so he decided to use a roundabout tactic.

"Humph!"

The little girl completely ignored Zhao Hai's enthusiasm, and left with a cold snort.

"Uh--"

Zhao Hai thought that storytelling would be a sure way to win over the little girl, but he was met with a rebuff.

The sensible Zhao Hai had no choice but to return to the dining table alone and wait for the delicious food Zhepu had prepared.

Waiting time always feels long, especially when you're hungry and there's a tempting aroma of delicious food nearby.

"whee--"
