Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

A small village in Haikou.

The place was packed with people, but there wasn't a trace of the usual noise. Everyone was just quietly gazing at the sailboats that had long since disappeared off the coastline.

In fact, the villagers had long noticed Zhao Hai's actions every night and knew that he would be leaving soon. However, since everyone saw that he was deliberately hiding it, they pretended not to know anything.

However, it wasn't until the housewarming banquet for the new village last night that the villagers noticed Zhao Hai's obviously depressed mood, and they knew that he might be leaving.

So last night, all the villagers were just pretending to sleep, and they watched Zhao Hai silently from a short distance away until he arrived in Haikou early.

……

In the endless ocean, there is an endless expanse of blue sea and sky.

A ship riddled with holes, seemingly about to fall apart with the slightest sway, drifted aimlessly amidst the crashing waves.

On the ship, a clearly exhausted figure lay listlessly on the deck, gazing at the boundless sea with a rather helpless expression.

He set sail full of enthusiasm, but after actually setting foot on the sea, he realized how foolish he had been!

Without any knowledge of navigation or nautical charts, venturing out to sea so brazenly is not a display of passion or courage, but rather...

He's fucking asking for it!

"Little Jin, can't you really transfer some nautical knowledge to me?"

Zhao Hai, still unwilling to give up, kept asking the system, Xiao Jin, the same question he had asked countless times.

However, each time the system Xiao Jin said that this had nothing to do with the plan to cultivate the God of War, and that you should learn the navigation knowledge yourself. The initial language transmission was just to help you quickly integrate into this world.

"cannot!"

No miracle occurred. System Xiao Jin was not moved even slightly by Zhao Hai's tragic story, and maintained its stiff and cold voice.

"Alright! At worst, we'll just drift along like this and eventually run into other fleets."

Zhao Hai gave up hope and stopped expecting the system Xiao Jin to transfer navigational knowledge to him. He just lay on the deck.

Slowly...

He closed his eyes wearily and fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

"bump……"

"Click...click..."

Suddenly, Zhao Hai was awakened by a series of loud explosions, and then...

"Coo...coo...coo..."

Then he felt mouthfuls of salty seawater being poured into his mouth.

"overtake!"

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

Startled awake, Zhao Hai saw himself slowly sinking into the sea. Ignoring everything else, he frantically used the Seven Transformations of Heavenly Transformation – Fish Leap Transformation.

With a leap, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, he instantly rose from the seabed, then quickly grabbed a broken piece of wood and floated on the surface of the sea.

"overtake!"

"Kid, are you out of your mind?!"

"Do you even know how to drive a boat?!"

"Even the axe-wielder—Colonel Morgan's son, Bellemere—can only be rammed! Does he have a death wish?"

"..."

"Ok?"

Zhao Hai hadn't recovered from the near-death experience when he heard a chorus of curses coming from all around him, and he frowned in displeasure.

However, when Zhao Hai glanced at the collision between the two ships, his displeasure vanished instantly.

Because it was Zhao Hai's ship that rammed into the scout ship with some naval markings on the opposite side.

The large dent in the middle of the naval vessel, while the sides remained intact, suggests that the two ships collided.

Although Zhao Hai was the one who initiated the attack, with his half-baked ship, even a small scout boat, when it encountered a naval vessel, it would only end up being destroyed.

"and many more……"

"They were just talking about Colonel Morgan's son, Helmeppo. Isn't that the plot where Luffy rescues Roronoa Zoro?"

"It's truly a case of 'searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly'!"

Zhao Hai suddenly remembered Luffy's first crewmate—the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro. He stared at the arrogant young man dressed like a playboy on the ship, his eyes darting around as he secretly plotted.

"Kid! Are you stupid?"

"Don't think you can get Master Bellemere's forgiveness by pretending to be stupid. This is disrespectful to Colonel Monca. You are a traitorous mob."

Seeing that Zhao Hai remained silent, a junior naval officer on the opposite ship assumed that he was too intimidated to speak because he had heard of Colonel Monca's name. Knowing that this was a golden opportunity to flatter Colonel Monca's son, Young Master Bellumeber, he boldly spoke up and rebuked him.

"what……"

“Young Master Bellemere is wise! I only admire your reputation, which is why I left my hometown and came here to seek your help.”

"I just didn't expect that once I was out at sea, I would realize that I didn't know anything about navigation at all. So I could only drift around on the sea with the waves and then fall asleep without realizing it."

"When I opened my eyes again, I saw the young master Bellemere, whom I had longed for and decided to follow to the death."

"This is simply destiny. I am destined to follow Master Bellemere for life, so I couldn't contain my emotions and stood there in a daze, speechless with surprise."

"So please, young master Bellemere, you must accept me! Otherwise... otherwise I will... I will kneel here forever!"

Upon hearing the leader's words, Zhao Hai immediately feigned fear and tearfully recounted his perilous journey in pursuit of Young Master Bellumeber.

That scene was so touching!

It is a perfect microcosm of ancient famous generals who were determined to follow their wise ruler to the death.

However, when Zhao Hai lowered his head, his eyes flashed with deep disdain.

It's common knowledge that Colonel Morgan's son, Helmeppo, is nothing more than a bar hustler, but Zhao Hai had no choice but to compromise in order to see Straw Hat Luffy as soon as possible.

In ancient times, Han Xin endured the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, and then rose to become a great man of unparalleled talent.

I'm just being a little accommodating now!

Of course, these are not the main reasons...

Not strong enough!

Even if he wanted to directly kidnap Young Master Helmeppo and then save Roronoa Zoro to gain Luffy's favor, he couldn't do it!

So this was the only option left: to infiltrate the naval base first and then decide what to do next.

"Young Master Bellemere! No way! He's lying to you!"

The henchman next to young master Bellumeber, seeing that his young master was showing interest, knew that if this kid took over, his influence in young master Bellumeber's eyes would be greatly diminished, so he quickly tried to dissuade him.

"My heart is as clear as the sun and moon, and as witnessed by Heaven!"

Zhao Hai then made a promise with an expression that said, "If you don't agree, I'll kill myself right now."

Young Master Bellume was clearly moved by Zhao Hai's "deep affection," and looked at Zhao Hai with great interest and satisfaction. "I didn't expect I would have such a loyal fan. Not bad!"

"You actually believe that?"

"With your infamous reputation, who would admire you?"

"Let me tell you about someone else, even just me. That would be more believable!"

"..."

This was the shared sentiment of the group of junior naval officers around them at that moment, of course...

They simply wouldn't dare say it out loud!

The leader knew from Young Master Bellumeber's expression that the matter was basically settled, so he didn't say anything more, but he still gave Zhao Hai a meaningful glance.

Zhao Hai took advantage of this, and coupled with the fact that Bellumebo was an absolute idiot, he decided to stage such a seemingly absurd but actually incredibly effective play.

Chapter Seven: Naval Captain - Axe-Hand Morgan

Seeing Zhao Hai's "sincere" appearance, Bellumebo changed his usual arrogant and domineering ways, ordered the ships to approach Zhao Hai, and even personally brought him onto the ship.

"Thank you, Young Master Bellmere. I will serve you with all my heart and soul, and I will be loyal to you to the death for this future supernova of the Navy."

When Zhao Hai saw that Young Master Bellume had let him onto the ship so easily, clearly accepting him, he knew that the plan had basically succeeded, so he quickly pledged his loyalty.

"What's your name?"

Bellamer was clearly excited to have fans, so he didn't act aloof as usual and instead became unusually approachable.

This can be said to have refreshed the surrounding naval soldiers' understanding of this arrogant and domineering young master Bellumber once again.

"My name is Zhao..."

Zhao Hai was about to utter the word "Hai" when he hesitated slightly, thinking of the typical naming conventions in the One Piece world.

Suddenly, Zhao Hai had a flash of inspiration and thought of the word "pirate" in reality. He quickly changed his words and said, "Hai... my name is Caribbean Hai. Young Master Bellmeberg can just call me Xiao Hai from now on."

"Caribbean Sea?"

"Xiao Hai?"

"Hmm...not bad! You'll be working for me from now on!"

Young Master Bellume repeated the name Zhao Hai had revealed with great seriousness, as if he was trying his best to remember this guy who "admired" him like a surging river.

"Yes! Thank you, Young Master Bellemere!"

Zhao Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Subsequently, Zhao Hai followed Bellumeb to the island town ruled by his father, Colonel Monca.
