Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

Another naval soldier in the naval force also took the opportunity to make a good impression on Zhao Hai and praised Zhao Hai's merits.

However, this was completely uninformed flattery, and the person had no idea what Zhao Hai was thinking, so this flattery was destined to be ineffective.

"Hehe... Colonel, you wouldn't be praising us for helping him teach those hooligans a lesson in town, would you?"

"That's really hard to say!"

Upon hearing the answers from the naval personnel, the sailors who had stepped forward whispered among themselves, excitedly expressing their guesses.

However, Zhao Hai, who had heard everyone's words clearly, felt deeply powerless in the face of the political awareness of these naval soldiers.

"Can't you guys have the courage to face yourselves? Your mother only thinks about the good things she's done. Do I have to tell you all the scum you've done?"

After a long while, seeing that the navy men still had that "come and praise me" expression, Zhao Hai's lips twitched slightly, and he asked calmly, "Anything else?"

"besides?"

"Did they do something else with the colonel?"

Hearing Zhao Hai's questioning again, the navy personnel in the ranks all looked at the navy personnel who stepped forward with puzzled expressions.

Seeing everyone looking at them, the naval team that had stepped forward was completely bewildered, and finally turned their gaze to Zhao Hai.

Looking at this group of naval soldiers who were "pretending to be stupid," Zhao Hai really wanted to punch them all, but he managed to control his emotions well.

Zhao Hai shook his head at the crowd, and even pointed to the fruit basket in his hand.

"Oh, right, I know. The colonel helped that civilian earlier, and he even gave us some fruit."

Among the navy personnel who stepped forward, a burly lieutenant commander, having received a hint from Zhao Hai, excitedly replied.

After saying that, the naval lieutenant colonel even took out a few pieces of fruit from his pocket and waved them at the crowd, looking very proud.

Seeing the naval lieutenant commander's skillful movements, Zhao Hai was caught off guard and his mind was violently shaken, causing the fruit basket in his hand to shake violently.

If Zhao Hai hadn't been quick-witted and caught the falling fruit basket, these fine fruits would probably have been wasted.

"You say it was a gift from someone else, but as an outsider, I see things very differently. It's clearly petty theft, and you can make it sound so noble? That's absolutely outrageous!"

"You really think you're the emperor, and that taking things from these commoners is perfectly reasonable?"

The more Zhao Hai thought about it, the more he felt that the nature of these naval personnel was distorted.

If this isn't corrected immediately, his reputation as a colonel in the Navy's G5 branch will likely be ruined, and his task of reforming the Navy's G5 branch will be unlikely to make any progress.

Realizing that the problem was far more serious than he had imagined, Zhao Hai knew he had to demonstrate his authority over the navy and completely suppress them from the bottom of his heart.

Otherwise, the problem will be very difficult to solve!

Staring at the surrounding navy, Zhao Hai's gaze sharpened, and an invincible aura suddenly surged forth, enveloping the entire Navy G5 branch camp.

The surrounding navy personnel, sensing the ever-increasing aura emanating from Zhao Hai, ceased their discussions.

Looking into Zhao Hai's terrifying eyes, they felt as if they were standing next to a prehistoric beast, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their eyes revealing a deep sense of fear.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Vergo's bodyguard, who had been monitoring Zhao Hai from afar, felt the oppressive aura. His pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes revealed deep astonishment. In his heart, he cried out, "This...this is really possible!"

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!

Immediately afterward, while the navy members were still stunned, Zhao Hai made his move.

Then, a blur flashed by, followed by the sounds of fists striking flesh. In an instant, the group of naval soldiers who had stepped forward were knocked to the ground.

"You dared to spout nonsense in front of this colonel, that's a lesson for you, humph!"

Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Zhao Hai let out another cold snort.

Now, seeing Zhao Hai's terrifying face, the naval soldiers dared not speak and stood trembling to the side.

The few sailors who had been knocked to the ground by Zhao Hai also lowered their heads, not daring to refute, but their resentment was clearly visible in their constantly flickering eyes.

They believed they hadn't done anything wrong!

They believe that what they have done is "worthy of heaven and earth!"

When did this deception begin?

Why was I subjected to this inexplicable punishment?

Seeing the unconvinced look on the faces of the navy team, Zhao Hai shouted sternly, "You still feel wronged? I, the colonel, saw clearly how you got the fruit in your hands."

"You're still lying to me, the colonel, saying it was a gift from someone else? Ask yourselves honestly, was it really a gift?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the group of sailors lying on the ground were speechless and lowered their heads even further.

"We helped him catch the thugs, what's wrong with taking a few pieces of fruit?"

There are always a few stubborn people out there. Although the naval lieutenant colonel was in the wrong, he still argued his case based on reason.

"Oh, so you think you're right?"

Hearing the naval lieutenant colonel about to retort, Zhao Hai narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically, "Let's not even talk about whether you helped others or not. Even if you did help others, so what? Taking other people's things without asking is stealing!"

At this point, Zhao Hai stared intently at the naval lieutenant colonel, his eyes unconsciously sharpening: "According to our naval regulations, what is your crime for stealing civilian property?"

"I……"

When the naval lieutenant colonel heard Zhao Hai ask, "What should his punishment be?", he stammered but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

"Since you have nothing to say, it means you know you are in the wrong."

Seeing that the naval lieutenant commander remained silent, Zhao Hai shrugged and said calmly, "As righteous naval officers who protect the people of this region, how do you think you are perceived by the people? You don't need to answer that; I can see it from your actions this time."

"It's our duty as naval personnel to rid the people of harm, and we shouldn't ask for anything in return. How dare you brazenly reach out and take it? You've utterly disgraced the prestige of our navy. Look at the fruit basket in my hand..."

As he spoke, Zhao Hai pointed to the fruit basket in his hand and continued, "This was given to me by someone else. I didn't ask for it, but the stall owner still gave it to me."

"Why can't you restrain yourselves a little? If you did, you would not only earn the respect of the people, but you might also receive just as much as before..."

Zhao Hai persuaded the surrounding navy personnel with a combination of reason and emotion.

Finally, Zhao Hai addressed the surrounding navy personnel loudly: "Therefore, from now on, our navy must strictly abide by discipline, otherwise..."

Zhao Hai didn't expect that his words would completely change the views of these rogue naval personnel. He just needed to guide them step by step on how to get along with civilians.

As long as they feel the atmosphere of being deeply loved by the people, Zhao Hai believes that these naval personnel can eventually be changed, given that human nature is inherently good.

However, this will require a period of time to settle down. In order to shorten this period as much as possible and complete the tasks assigned by Xiao Jin in the system as soon as possible.

Zhao Hai spent countless brain cells, citing classics and historical texts, to summarize a set of guidelines specifically for the navy on how to build a good relationship with the people—"On the Outline of Military-Civilian Unity".

In the office of Vice Admiral Vergo, G5 Squadron of the Navy.

Vice Admiral Vergo, who was calmly listening to the guards' report on Zhao Hai's situation, was stunned when he heard Zhao Hai subdue the entire navy with a single glance.

He couldn't calm down at all, and stared at the guard beside him with a serious expression: "Are you sure that Caribbean Seaman intimidated that group of navymen with just one look?"

"Yes! I witnessed it with my own eyes. The moment that Caribbean Seaman narrowed his eyes, an aura suddenly appeared, which intimidated all the navy. Even though I was hiding in the distance, I could feel that heavy pressure."

As Lieutenant General Vergo's bodyguard spoke, he still felt a lingering sense of unease and calmed himself down.

The sheer aura that could subdue everyone was the power of Conqueror's Haki, a heaven-defying aura possessed by only one in a million people with the potential to become a king. How could this not astonish Vice Admiral Vergo's bodyguard?

Not only were Lieutenant General Vergo's guards surprised, but Lieutenant General Vergo himself was also taken aback.

"After all, he is the king of the new generation of the Marine Headquarters, so it is not surprising that he has Conqueror's Haki. However, to be able to use it flexibly at such a young age is truly remarkable!"

However, Lieutenant General Vergo quickly came to terms with it, thinking to himself, "It seems the previous conditions need to be changed; I should try to win them over properly!"

Chapter 72 The people are the most important, the state is secondary.

Half a month later, at the Navy G5 branch camp.

Sunlight streamed down, falling on the naval personnel training on the parade ground.

As the sunlight shone down, the sweat on the men's bodies gradually thickened, dripping incessantly, and the scorching hot surface made the dripping sweat sizzle.

While the navy soldiers were training hard, Zhao Hai was sitting in the shade of a tree not far away, drinking tea and watching their miserable expressions, secretly enjoying himself.

Zhao Hai calmly dismissed the naval soldiers' complaints, claiming it was meant to motivate them and increase their enthusiasm for training.

Having received Zhao Hai's reply, the navy personnel had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

In addition, Zhao Hai has been working with them to build good relationships with the common people, which has yielded good results, and they have gained the approval of most of the people.

Now, these sailors can feel the kind gazes of the people around them whenever they go out, so they are very grateful to Zhao Hai.

They truly respected Zhao Hai, the young naval colonel.

This is not!

With nothing else to do, Zhao Hai began training the group of marines, since their strength was still quite inadequate in the New World.

The navy personnel cooperated without hesitation and followed their superiors' instructions.

Zhao Hai didn't know much about how to train soldiers, so he relentlessly put physical training exercises like push-ups on the navy soldiers.

Zhao Hai has now made these previously arrogant navy men suffer greatly.

However, considering Zhao Hai's formidable strength and the prestige he had built up among the people during this period, they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

Zhao Hai was very satisfied with the actions of these naval personnel. Improving their physical fitness was an important part of his efforts to reorganize the Navy G5 branch.

Otherwise, given their previous lazy demeanor, how could he have the nerve to call these people naval soldiers? They were just street thugs.

Any one or two pirates from the New World could easily defeat these Marines, so it's quite embarrassing for him, a Marine G5 branch captain, to say that.

Therefore, Zhao Hai was also preparing to give these naval personnel a thorough training session, hoping to achieve some results as soon as possible.

At the very least, these naval personnel should be instilled with some of the iron will of soldiers.

……

Marineford, Naval Headquarters, the highest conference room of the Navy.

High-ranking Navy officials, including Sengoku the Buddha, Garp, Chaton, and Akainu, gathered together.

Each high-ranking official had the same document in front of them, and the cover of the document prominently displayed the eight characters "Outline on the Unity of the Military and the People".

If Zhao Hai knew at this moment that these despicable guys at the Navy Headquarters were stealing his copyright.

You'd definitely think to yourself, "This damn copyright infringement problem is truly ubiquitous! Even in a different time and place, the issue is still not to be underestimated!"

"Take a look!"

After all the high-ranking naval officers were in place, Sengoku the Buddha pointed to the documents on their desks.
