Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

At that moment, Zhao Hai had only one thought in his mind: to hurry to the village and do his best to help those kind and respectable villagers.

"Ok?"

Why did it suddenly get dark?

On his way to the village, Zhao Hai suddenly realized that the sunlight that was shining on him had abruptly disappeared.

"This……"

"This...how...is...possible...!"

When Zhao Hai turned his head in confusion, he was so shocked by what he saw that his voice trembled and his body trembled slightly.

Above the sky, a dazzling light shone forth!

A peerless blade shadow, spanning the sky, slashed down from the heavens.

That single strike radiated endless light, enveloping all directions!

That strike was like the radiant glow of the Milky Way falling from the sky, breathtaking and awe-inspiring!

That single strike severed the boundary between life and death, separating them completely!

Chapter Five: Hawkeye – Jorracor Mihawk

"Click..."

"Click...click..."

"..."

Then, all around Haikou, there were sounds of everything collapsing.

"what……"

"Help me..."

"The ship's sinking, boss!"

"I don't want to die..."

"Run! It's...it's Hawkeye—Joraco Mihawk is here!"

"..."

Then, chaos ensued around the village.

Everywhere were sounds of people fleeing for their lives, screams, and cries of fear... rising and falling, echoing in this once peaceful and tranquil island village.

"Hawkeye—Joraco Mihawk?"

"The world's greatest swordsman?"

Hearing the shouts around him, Zhao Hai remembered that Hawkeye—Djorkol Mihawk—was indeed carrying a giant sword on his back—Black Blade Night.

Furthermore, he had also seen in the One Piece manga that Hawkeye wielded the black sword Yoru and cleaved the invincible warship in two with a single strike.

The shocking scene once captivated Zhao Hai.

However, after witnessing Hawkeye's incredibly awe-inspiring strike, Zhao Hai finally understood.

Compared to animation, it's utterly insignificant and incomparable!

"With Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman, taking action, the crisis in that village should be considered resolved."

"But let's hurry and check on the situation in the village."

Although Hawkeye, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, possesses unparalleled fighting power, the villagers are, after all, just ordinary people, and it is very likely that many of them will still be affected.

Zhao Hai's biggest worry right now is the old village chief who took him in, so what he wants to know most right now is whether the old village chief is safe.

Although he had expected it, Zhao Hai's heart still clenched when he actually saw the desolate scene of ruins and broken walls in the village and the surrounding sea.

What was once a peaceful island village is now a place where it is difficult to find a single intact building; everywhere are broken walls and stone slabs riddled with holes from gunfire.

What's even more shocking is the sight at the village's estuary, with rows of boats neatly cut in half, and a corner of the sea stained crimson with blood, resembling a battlefield of carnage.

Zhao Hai finally managed to find the old village chief in this unrecognizable village.

The old village chief lay dying on a relatively tidy stone slab, surrounded by two or three groups of villagers, clearly injured and bandaged, silently sobbing. And…

And in the distance, that imposing, dashing, and timeless figure, with that unique and unapproachable gaze—Eagle Eyes—Zhao Hai recognized him instantly; it was…

Hawkeye – Jorah Mihawk!

The world's greatest swordsman!

However, Zhao Hai couldn't care less about that at the moment, and he walked straight up to the old village chief.

Looking at the old village chief lying on the stone slab, barely alive.

Looking at the huge and particularly conspicuous bloody wound on the old village chief's body.

Unbeknownst to Zhao Hai, a few tears were falling from the corners of his eyes.

“When I first came into this world, when I was still very weak, the old village chief was the first to take me in, but... but now I... but I have no way to repay him.”

Zhao Hai just stood there, silent and speechless.

“My child, you’ve come. From the first moment I saw you, I knew you would not be an ordinary person, just like my son.”

“This village couldn’t keep you here. He eventually went to the sea and left with a one-armed, red-haired man. I know you will also leave this village, but I hope you can find him—my son, Ben Beckman.”

"Ahem... pass on a message to him... say that his... dad... misses him, and is... proud of his... decision..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old village chief breathed his last and passed away peacefully.

"village head……"

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

"Village chief... village chief..."

"..."

Upon seeing the old village chief, a kind and devoted man who had dedicated himself to the village, close his eyes and pass away, the villagers could no longer contain their emotions, and their wailing echoed throughout the village.

A man doesn't easily shed tears!

It's just that the feelings haven't reached their peak yet!

"Thank you, Lord Swordsman, for saving this village. Although it was just a small favor for you, I will never forget it."

Composing himself, Zhao Hai walked straight to Jolacol Mihawk, who was standing to the side, and spoke sincerely.

"Ok?"

Jorah Mihawk looked at the little guy who was walking over with some surprise, but when he met the determined look in Zhao Hai's eyes, Hawkeye still looked at Zhao Hai with considerable appreciation and nodded.

"Little one, I look forward to meeting you again on the Grand Line in the New World, and I hope you will still remember what you said today."

As soon as Jorah Mihawk finished speaking, he flashed onto his unique little sailboat, a standard cross, with eerie flames emanating from the two soul lamps.

Jorah Mihawk's small sailboat drifted further and further into the vast ocean, eventually disappearing into the endless sea.

"Doraemon Mihawk, the New World in the second half of the Grand Line? I will go, and it won't be long."

"And we also have to fulfill the old village chief's request and find his son, Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea."

Watching Jorah Mihawk disappear off the coastline, Zhao Hai stared intently at the distant sea.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have activated the hidden quest—The Old Village Chief's Instructions."

Just as Zhao Haixin was wandering the vast ocean, a pleasant voice, which was somewhat unexpected, suddenly rang out.

Not bad!

It was a promise that had to be fulfilled, but I never expected to get a task out of it.

Zhao Hai looked at the task system section with some surprise.

I noticed that there was indeed a new task section there:

"Side Quest 1 - Hidden Quest - The Old Village Chief's Instructions (Incomplete, Reward Unknown)"

"But let's help the villagers here first, rebuild the village, then upgrade to level 10, and then leave to find Straw Hat Luffy and complete the level 20 unlock quest!"

Once the plan was finalized, Zhao Hai quickly threw himself into the construction of the new village.

Because Zhao Hai displayed great strength in front of the villagers, they no longer treated him like a child, so Zhao Hai was able to act freely.

During the day, Zhao Hai would carry huge stones and logs around the village, going door to door to provide the stone and timber needed for construction.

Then, they would go to the back mountain to hunt down huge wild beasts and bring them back to the village to distribute to the residents.

At night, when all the villagers are asleep, Zhao Hai would quietly come to Haikou and tinker with the wrecked boats he had salvaged.

……

……

And so, day after day, Zhao Hai's level had long since reached level 10 in his battles with wild beasts in the back mountains and had not changed since. When he had free time, he would only practice the Fish Leap Transformation Technique and the White Tiger Body Defense Technique in the back mountains.

The village's construction project is proceeding in a tense but orderly manner, and Zhao Hai's shipbuilding work is also secretly approaching perfection step by step.

……

……

Three months later, on a bright morning.

Zhao Hai arrived at the village's estuary early in the morning. Looking at the village's newly built and brand-new appearance, Zhao Hai no longer had any excuse to insist on staying.

Chapter Six: An Encounter with Bellemere at Sea

"It's time to go!"

After taking one last look at the beautiful, tranquil island village, Zhao Hai resolutely boarded the sailboat and sailed alone into the unknown sea.
