"Sigh, with this little strength, how can they possibly take care of the Navy's G5 branch? They have that freak Vergo around!"

Looking at the information on the attribute panel, Zhao Hai felt no joy whatsoever.

The Marines in the G5 branch are basically a bunch of pirates, brutal and willful, and they don't care much about orders from the Marine Headquarters.

Therefore, although Zhao Hai was transferred there by the highest-ranking naval commander, Sengoku the Buddha, he may not necessarily be recognized by that group of naval personnel.

"Well, we'll just have to adapt to the situation then."

With a sigh, Zhao Hai composed himself, looked up at the unknown sea ahead, and shouted in his heart, "Grand Line, New World, here I come!"

……

More than a month later, on June 9, 1521.

New World, Navy G5 Branch Meeting Room.

Zhao Hai, Major General Sicily, and Lieutenant General Vergo stood on either side.

"Lieutenant General Vergo, I've brought the man with me. I'll head back to report now."

After saying that, the Sicilian Major General patted Zhao Hai on the shoulder and said, "Kid, have fun here by yourself. I'm leaving now."

Watching the figure of the Sicilian Major General, Zhao Hai felt a pang of reluctance and melancholy.

Facing Vergo, the highest-ranking officer of the Doflamingo Pirates, Zhao Hai also felt immense pressure.

Especially now that he has to face Vergo alone, he misses Sicily, the guy he usually hates so much he wants to beat to death.

Vice Admiral Vergo sized up Zhao Hai and said calmly, "You're the super genius Caribbean-Sea from the Navy Headquarters this time?"

"Yes," Zhao Hai replied calmly.

Facing Vergo, Zhao Hai was a little nervous about his opponent's strength and his hidden identity, but he wasn't really afraid of him.

With his explosive-level privileges and the power of sharp metal, Zhao Hai was confident that after a while, he would be able to hold his own against Vergo.

Furthermore, with the speed advantage of the Seven Transformations of the Heavenly Realm being no less than that of the Navy's Six Styles, he was even confident that he could remain invincible.

Don't misunderstand how strong Zhao Hai is; after all, being fast is the best guarantee of survival.

Seeing Zhao Hai's calm demeanor, Vice Admiral Vergo nodded appreciatively and said, "Since you've come here and have the ability, the Navy's G5 branch is currently short of a colonel. Go and take up the post!"

Upon hearing that Vice Admiral Vergo had casually bestowed upon him the rank of naval captain, Zhao Hai looked incredulous and blankly stared.

"Go!"

Seeing Zhao Hai's expression, Lieutenant General Vergo was very satisfied and said calmly.

He presented himself as a kind, gentle middle-aged man. If Zhao Hai hadn't known the dark side of this guy, he might have been fooled by him.

Afterwards, Zhao Hai could only leave the Navy G5 branch meeting room with a puzzled look on his face.

In fact, it wasn't hard to guess Lieutenant General Vergo's thoughts; Zhao Hai was simply caught off guard and didn't react in time.

Consider Zhao Hai's current prestige in the Navy Headquarters; he is the strongest king who sweeps aside the new generation of the Navy without any rivals.

A promising young man with unlimited potential, as long as he doesn't fall from grace, will definitely be at least one of the key figures in determining the future of the world.

Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Lieutenant General Vergo, representing the Donquixote Family, to try and win over Zhao Hai, this genius.

However, the Donquixote Family is an enemy of the Revolutionary Army, and Zhao Hai is a member of Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates, so Vice Admiral Vergo's wishful thinking is destined to come to nothing.

However, for Lieutenant General Vergo, who was unaware of the intricacies of the situation, this did not affect his reverie.

At this moment, Zhao Hai arrived at his military camp, escorted by Lieutenant General Vergo.

Facing his soldiers, Zhao Hai completely forgot his earlier doubts and looked at the naval soldiers with excitement.

Do not!

To be precise, they were a group of naval personnel with an extremely strong sense of thuggery.

Regardless of what people say, these are all soldiers under Zhao Hai's command. It's his first time serving as a naval admiral, and he's an admiral with troops, not just a commander without troops. Zhao Hai is quite satisfied.

Although he was happy inside, Zhao Hai did not show it on his face at all; he still maintained the proper leadership demeanor and presence.

Looking around at the navy, Zhao Hai’s bodyguard, Vergo, announced loudly, “Vice Admiral Vergo has ordered that the vacant colonel position will be filled by this man beside me, Caribbean-Hai, starting today.”

The once lively scene fell silent the moment those words were spoken, as if time had stopped.

Those hands that were raised remained raised, as if unaware of the effort involved; and those who were speaking had their mouths wide open, showing no sign of closing them.

"Cough cough cough..."

Glancing at the shocked and stunned navy around him, Zhao Hai knew it was time for him, as the leader, to step in, so he cleared his throat.

With a serious expression, he said, "I'm sure you all heard the order that Lieutenant General Vergo just gave. From today onwards, I, Caribbean-Sea, am your superior."

His tone exuded an air of dominance; at such a young age, he was already a naval admiral, commanding an army. It was no exaggeration to say that he was a promising young man.

Taken aback by Zhao Hai's eloquent and inspiring words, the navy personnel also came to their senses, their faces filled with disbelief.

"What makes you think you're a naval captain, you brat? Get out of here!"

Just as Zhao Hai was appreciating his status as a "Great General," a disgruntled voice suddenly rang out.

Zhao Hai looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thin, bony naval soldier staring at him with a resentful expression.

"Exactly! With those tiny arms, this kid wouldn't even be fit to be a menial laborer in our Navy G5 branch, yet he dares to boast that he wants to be a naval captain?"

"Go drink your milk! Don't cause trouble here, or you'll piss me off and I'll beat you so badly you won't be able to take care of yourself."

"Kid, get lost!"

"..."

Led by the previous naval soldier, the group of wolves and leopards roared at Zhao Hai, their arrogance reaching a fever pitch, and they even seemed poised to attack.

"As expected of the G5 branch marines, who are known as 'pirates among the marines,' their quality is terrifyingly low! How are we supposed to get them organized?"

Looking at these navy men who didn't recognize his greatness and kept shouting, Zhao Hai felt that the mission assigned by the system Xiao Jin this time was not simple.

Zhao Hai ignored the naval brawlers, and Vice Admiral Vergo's bodyguards also made no move to comment.

Having often accompanied Vice Admiral Vergo, he had heard of the "Caribbean-Sea," the rising star of the Navy Headquarters, and was eager to see Zhao Hai's true strength in reality. Therefore, he did not stop the naval bravado.

Perhaps seeing that Zhao Hai did not refute, they assumed he was afraid.

A burly navy officer stepped forward and roared angrily, "Vice Admiral Vergo must be joking with this kid. This naval captain's position is definitely mine."

Seeing the incredibly confident and burly navy man standing there, Zhao Hai was just about to step forward to offer some advice when...

Suddenly, Vergo's bodyguard seemed to explode, shouting at the navy officer, "How dare you! Do you dare question Vice Admiral Vergo's orders?"

"I……"

Hearing Vergo's reprimand, the navy officer realized what was happening and looked terrified.

They were annoyed because Zhao Hai, such a greenhorn, had suddenly appeared and become their superior.

In addition, since Lieutenant General Vergo usually didn't interfere with them, they were used to being arrogant and unruly, and hadn't developed much self-restraint.

Naturally, they didn't care about disobeying orders at first, but when they heard the guards' reprimand, they came to their senses and quieted down.

Although these sailors are usually fearless, they are exceptionally obedient to Vice Admiral Vergo's orders, which is a testament to the greatness of Vergo's "personal charisma".

After all, if someone is shameless enough, they can "influence" others. In the anime, Vergo tricked these naval soldiers into following him to the death.

When faced with Vergo's blade at the end, the group of marines couldn't believe it was Vergo himself, which shows just how powerful Vergo's "personal charisma" was.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Establishing Authority

Looking around at the naval soldiers who were clearly acting under Vice Admiral Vergo's orders and who were clearly defiant towards him, he saw them all.

Zhao Hai knew that if he didn't show some strength, it would be difficult to get these navy personnel to obey him, let alone reorganize the Navy G5 branch.

"What position do you hold in the military?" Zhao Hai asked, looking at the burly navy man.

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's question, the navy officer was momentarily stunned. After a while, he straightened his expression and replied with an air of arrogance, "Naval Lieutenant Commander!"

"No wonder the reaction was the strongest; it turns out my arrival took this guy's place." Zhao Hai understood the navy's previous reckless actions upon hearing this.

"Once we deal with the navy and make them obediently acknowledge me, then the issue of legitimacy will be largely resolved."

So Zhao Hai quickly came up with a plan, composed himself, and said, "Do you think I'm not qualified to be a naval colonel because you think I'm not capable enough?"

The burly navy man, looking unconvinced, retorted loudly, "That's right! This is the New World, where strength reigns supreme. No matter how powerful a mere boy like you is, how powerful can you be? And what makes you think you can be our leader?"

"Exactly! If some greenhorn becomes our leader, how the hell are we supposed to survive in the New World?!"

"Kid! You have Lieutenant General Vergo's appointment, so we dare not disobey, but don't even think about ordering us around!"

"That's right!"

Agreed!

"..."

The words of this imposing naval officer were unanimously endorsed by the other naval soldiers.

Before Zhao Hai could even give the order, these naval personnel declared they would refuse to carry it out, displaying an extremely arrogant attitude.

Zhao Hai did not show any emotion as he watched the naval soldiers jumping around so enthusiastically.

After all, what these navies wanted was a powerful and strong individual, and Zhao Hai lacked many things, but what he had in abundance was earth-shattering strength.

Lieutenant General Vergo's guards were also delighted, eager to see Zhao Hai's fighting prowess.

"So, does that mean if I defeat you, a naval lieutenant commander, I'm qualified to become a naval captain?" Zhao Hai asked casually, glancing at the burly naval officer who looked defiant.
