Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

"Brother Hai?"

"Could it be that Hai Ge from the 'Hai Ge Fan Club,' who's supposedly invincible against the new generation of naval officers?!"

"I heard he hasn't shown up for a year, hasn't he?"

"..."

Ade's words aroused some suspicion among the surrounding navy personnel.

After all, Zhao Hai hadn't appeared for over a year, and teenagers are at a crucial stage of physical development, so it's no wonder they didn't immediately recognize Zhao Hai, who had completely shed his childishness and now had a very resolute face.

Zhao Hai looked at Ade and said calmly, "Ade, go and take a look."

"Oh my... isn't this the Caribbean Sea, who's swept aside the new generation of the Navy without any rivals? Their momentum is pretty arrogant!"

Just as Ade was looking at the notice board, a strange, sarcastic voice suddenly rang in Zhao Hai's ears.

Zhao Hai turned his head slightly and caught sight of Gulant, a man with a red rooster-like head, looking at him with disdain not far away. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly and say loudly, "You little brat, you're still so unruly!"

"you……"

Gulant was furious that Zhao Hai looked down on him so much.

In order to avenge his previous defeat and counter Zhao Hai's speed advantage, Grand studied and practiced diligently throughout the year, never daring to slack off. His Six Styles of the Navy made a qualitative leap, and his progress was even recognized by Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha.

"As expected of the legendary figure, he doesn't even give face to the Navy's supernova Grant."

"That's right! Among the third generation of the Navy, there are probably only a handful of people with this kind of courage!"

"..."

Among the crowd, everyone was amazed by Zhao Hai's performance.

Zhao Hai, however, seemed oblivious to all of this. Seeing Ade approaching, he disregarded Granter's anger and asked calmly, "Ade, what's on the bulletin board?"

"It's the Navy Newcomer Competition. In three days, Fleet Admiral Sengoku will hold a grand competition targeting our third-generation navy!"

Ade answered excitedly.

"Oh, I see. Let's go!"

Zhao Hai said something indifferently and then made a move to leave, showing absolutely no interest in the so-called freshman competition.

"Uh--"

Ade was quite surprised to see Zhao Hai so calm and collected. "This is the New Generation Competition, a competition for the new generation personally organized by the Warring States Marshal. It is an incomparably glorious symbol!"

"Caribbean Sea! Are you scared? Are you worried that I'll shatter your myth of being invincible against the new generation of naval warriors in the Grand Tournament?"

Seeing that Zhao Hai was not participating in the freshman competition, Gulant, in order to save face, directly provoked him, and deliberately emphasized the words "unrivaled among the new generation of naval personnel".

"You're crazy!"

Zhao Hai listened to Granter's provocation and replied calmly, without the slightest change in emotion, as if Granter was not provoking him, but a complete stranger.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for activating the mission - Naval Grand Competition. Rewards are unknown. Please check your account!"

Just as Zhao Hai was about to leave in a carefree manner, the system Xiao Jin coincidentally issued a task, a task that he had just refused in front of everyone.

Zhao Hai was momentarily embarrassed, "Should I answer or not? Should I answer or not?..."

After some "struggle," Zhao Hai finally decided to accept the mission. After all, having a mission was good, and it would also boost his prestige.

So Zhao Hai naturally withdrew his foot, which was already halfway out of the air, and then said to Grand, "Since you want to be humiliated by me again, then this young master has no choice but to comply!"

"I'm speechless!"

The surrounding navy personnel were also bewildered by Zhao Hai's rapid change in attitude and were completely caught off guard.

"Uh--"

Even Gurant himself was completely baffled by Zhao Hai's sudden turn of events.

After a long pause, he finally reacted and said with an arrogant expression, "Caribbean Sea, that's more like it! This time I will definitely show you the power of the Navy Six Styles that I have been practicing hard recently."

"Brother Hai, you're right, this red-haired big brother really is a big idiot!"

Just as Zhao Hai finished making his harsh remarks and was about to leave, the incredibly innocent voice of the little girl Darlena suddenly rang out from all around.

Suddenly, the atmosphere around them became extremely eerie.

Chapter 52 The Navy's Strongest Lineup, All Watching the Battle

"Oh, then little sister, tell me, what's wrong with this brother with the tuft of red hair on his head?"

Upon hearing Darlena's words, Zhao Hai subconsciously stopped and asked with interest.

"Brother Hai, didn't you tell me that you, as a genius, don't need to train at all, while all the others who need to train constantly to improve their strength are big idiots?"

"And this red-haired guy's older brother, who claims to be practicing that Sea-Six Styles so diligently, isn't he just a big idiot?"

When Darlena heard Zhao Hai's question, she blinked her bright eyes at him, her gaze full of questions, as if to say, "Brother Hai, didn't you tell me this?"

"Uh--"

Hearing the little girl Darlena's sharp reply, Zhao Hai was speechless.

Zhao Hai sowed this evil seed, and now only Gurant can reap the bitter fruit.

The surrounding navy personnel, hearing Zhao Hai's way of educating a child, could only sigh inwardly: the world of geniuses is truly beyond our comprehension.

Meanwhile, Gulant was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

Not only did Zhao Hai oppose him, but he also taught children to insult him. How could he swallow this insult?

As a dignified Navy Supernova, he would never do something like bullying a little girl, so all his anger was naturally transferred to Zhao Hai.

"Hmph! I'll see how much you've improved this past year at the freshman competition!"

With a cold snort, Grand controlled his anger and stormed off.

Zhao Hai was also somewhat taken aback as he watched Granter's departing figure, thinking to himself, "After a year of tempering, Granter's temper has become quite impatient."

Afterwards, Zhao Hai glanced at the sky and realized it was almost time for dinner. He waved slightly and beckoned Ade to head towards the naval mess hall.

Life goes on, and Zhao Hai's daily routine remained unchanged from other naval personnel who were affected by the upcoming freshman competition.

We ate and drank as usual, strolled around, and enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Zhao Hai was relaxed, but at this moment, old man Garp and Chaton in Chaton's office were not relaxed at all; on the contrary, they were bursting with anger.

Listening to the report from the naval soldiers about Zhao Hai's recent situation, the old man Garp was furious. His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he wished he could run up to Zhao Hai right now and give him a good beating. Fortunately, Chaton held him back.

Zhao Hai was expected to feel nervous about the new student competition and fight hard for his honor of "sweeping aside all the new generation of naval personnel".

But to their utter surprise, Zhao Hai was completely oblivious to their carefully prepared competition, showing no interest whatsoever.

"Alas! It seems the Caribbean has truly fallen into depravity, becoming so arrogant."

Teacher Chatun sighed as he listened to his subordinate's report, thinking to himself, "If he is indulging in pleasure now and not striving for progress, the path to becoming a strongman will become more and more difficult. If Caribbean Sea cannot wake up now, then this promising talent is basically wasted."

"Hopefully, this freshman competition will completely shatter his ridiculous dream of invincibility!" Old Man Garp was unusually quiet at this moment, and looked up at the window.

A year ago, Cha Tun suddenly came to him and told him that Zhao Hai had the strength to rival naval officers. He was so excited at that time. He naively thought that Zhao Hai would be able to carry the banner of naval justice in the future and placed great hopes on Zhao Hai.

But the reality is just like that, catching people off guard. Later, Zhao Hai was unwilling to learn the Six Styles of the Navy. He felt anxious, but it was clear that Zhao Hai had been training hard with Bogart all along, so he didn't say anything more.

But now, only a year has passed, and Zhao Hai has fallen from grace. The genius he valued so highly has fallen so low. He was angry, but mostly he felt helpless.

If you don't truly want to become stronger, no matter how much others say, it's useless.

Therefore, unwilling to let Zhao Hai, this shining star, fall, he personally sought out the Buddha Warring States Marshal to organize this new student competition.

……

Time always flies by so quickly in pleasant moments, catching us off guard.

This is not.

The three-day freshman competition was just around the corner. September 1521 in the Maritime Calendar—a particularly important day for naval freshmen.

At this moment, a group of "Hai Ge Fan Club" members were already waiting outside the naval mess hall.

Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Zhao Hai, Coby, Gary, Ad, and Darlena were devouring the delicious food prepared by Chef Zeff.

"Little sister, do you want to come with Brother Hai to watch the freshman competition today?" Zhao Hai put down his cutlery and glanced at Dalena beside him.

This time, Darlena did not answer Zhao Hai immediately, but instead stared intently into the direction of the kitchen.

Seeing Darlena's expression, Zhao Hai knew that she wanted Chef Zeff to come along, so he gently patted Darlena's head and comforted her, "Of course, I also invited Uncle Zeff this time."

"real!"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the little girl Darlena's eyes, which had been dimmed, immediately lit up with a gleam of light.

Children's minds are so simple, yet so ever-changing!

Koby and the others, watching Zhao Hai coaxing the child, were deeply moved.

"You can take Dalena with you, this old man won't go with you to join in the fun."

Before anyone knew it, Chef Zeff arrived beside Zhao Hai and the others and spoke calmly.

Since Uncle Zeff wasn't going, Zhao Hai didn't insist. After the meal, he led the large group of club members toward their destination—the playground—for the freshman competition.

Zhao Hai's team was arguably the most conspicuous.

Not only does it have the largest number of members, exceeding one hundred, but this is not all the members of the "Hai Ge Fan Club." The members of the "Hai Ge Fan Club" have now permeated all aspects of the Navy, and even some second-generation Navy members have joined.

These 100 members of the 'honor guard' were handpicked from the best members of the large organization.

Zhao Hai and his group walked at the front, while the hundred members followed closely behind in perfect unison, creating a magnificent scene.

"Brother Hai, where did you get these people from?"

Looking at the respectful navy behind them, Coby and Gary, who were oblivious to everything else and focused solely on martial arts, finally couldn't resist their curiosity.

"Ade, you should explain this to them!"

Zhao Hai was too lazy to answer such a question, so he passed it on to Ade.

Ade naturally tried his best to explain that, aside from the fact that these were Zhao Hai's two good brothers, one was the apprentice of the naval hero Vice Admiral Garp, and the other was also related to him and had trained with Bogart.
