Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

"Oh, this is quite interesting!" Aokiji flipped it open, glanced at it, and his eyes lit up with surprise.

"Wow, that's a really bold idea! It's terrifying!"

Kizaru, who was standing to the side, glanced at the document and a 'terrified' expression appeared on his face.

"Who came up with this idea?" Akainu, standing next to Sengoku the Buddha, looked at Sengoku the Buddha with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, Garp and Chaton, who already knew the whole story, sat quietly to the side without saying a word.

Although these high-ranking naval officers all expressed their feelings, they did not talk about the content itself, but just laughed it off and avoided the topic.

It's no wonder they acted this way; it's simply because Zhao Hai's opening line, "The people are the most important, the state comes next," was so incredibly impactful.

Although Zhao Hai omitted the most impactful line, "You are less important than me," it still stirred the hearts of these high-ranking naval officers.

The Celestial Dragons are now the highest nobility in the world, above all others, possessing vast resources of the world's continent and enjoying the most preferential privileges.

The phrase "The people are the most important, the state is secondary" is precisely an opposition to the Celestial Dragons' oppression of the people and their wanton squandering of resources.

Therefore, while these top naval forces are not afraid, they are still somewhat cautious.

When Sengoku heard the doubts of the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters, he did not answer immediately.

Instead, he continued calmly, "I'm sure everyone who has read this book, 'On the Outline of the Unity Between the Army and the People,' has some thoughts on it, and the theories within are worth studying..."

Hey!

Although the phrase "Buddha's Warring States Period" was left unsaid, its meaning was quite clear.

Upon hearing that Sengoku the Buddha had so explicitly and monstrously supported him, Aokiji, Kizaru, and the others were jolted awake, sat up, and looked at Sengoku the Buddha with solemn expressions.

This is a matter of great political importance; if you choose the wrong side, you'll end up as a victim.

In fact, Sengoku the Buddha had always wanted to change the structure of the World Government and limit the privileges of the Celestial Dragons.

However, they had been struggling to find sufficient theoretical basis to advise the Five Elders, the supreme leaders of the World Government.

Now, Zhao Hai's article "On the Outline of the Unity Between the Army and the People" presents a good opportunity.

"Lieutenant General Garp and I will soon travel to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

Buddha Sengoku showed no surprise at the reactions of the crowd and spoke calmly.

boom!

This caused the naval officers below to stand up in shock.

They initially thought that Sengoku the Buddha wanted to vent his dissatisfaction with the Celestial Dragons, but they never expected that he was preparing to take actual action. The shock they experienced that day was immense.

"Marshal, I want to go with you too!" Upon hearing Sengoku's words, Akainu, bursting with a sense of justice, immediately volunteered.

"No need!" Buddha Sengoku waved his hand gently.

……

Meanwhile, at the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Baltigue, the island of white earth.

In the conference room, revolutionary army cadres such as Monkey D. Dragon and Sabo were also holding an emergency meeting around Zhao Hai's "Outline on the Unity of the Army and the People".

"Sabo, what do you think about this?"

Monkey D. Dragon asked Sabo, who was standing to the side.

Upon hearing Monkey D. Dragon's question, Sabo's expression became excited, his face filled with barely concealed excitement: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can spread the theory of 'the people are the most important, the state is secondary' to the world continent..."

"We will definitely gain more support from the people, which will allow our revolutionary cause to be launched much earlier."

Upon hearing Sabo's idea, Monkey D. Dragon nodded in satisfaction: "That's right! The Celestial Dragons have been oppressing ordinary people for a long time, which has long been a source of resentment. Now that this theory has appeared in the world, this is the clarion call for the downfall of the Celestial Dragons."

"What a pity that such a profound theory was written by a naval officer." Monkey D. Dragon thought to himself, sighing inwardly as he considered his subordinate's report.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hai, who was training soldiers at the Navy's G5 branch, was completely unaware that some guidelines he had casually written to educate his naval personnel on how to conduct themselves had already stirred up a storm in all directions.

But he still lay there lazily, enjoying the comforts of life.

"Colonel, should we stop training and go to the mess hall for lunch?"

Just as Zhao Hai was meeting the person in his dream, a rough voice suddenly startled him awake.

"Chao! Which bastard is so inconsiderate as to disturb my sweet dreams?"

Startled awake, Zhao Hai was also annoyed and started yelling a string of curses.

The naval soldier who came to report to Zhao Hai also looked embarrassed when he heard Zhao Hai's cursing. He stood there, hesitant to move forward.

"Why were you yelling like that? Did the sky fall? Or did the earth collapse?"

Seeing the naval soldier's coy, girlish demeanor, Zhao Hai couldn't help but scold her again.

"It's lunchtime now, can we go eat?" Overcoming his fear, the naval soldier asked in a low voice.

"lunch?"

Hearing the naval soldiers' words, Zhao Hai also felt a bit hungry, so he waved his hand casually and said, "Then you guys go!"

"Yes!"

Having received Zhao Hai's affirmative reply, the naval soldiers hurriedly left.

"Reporting, Colonel!"

Just as Zhao Hai got up to go to the cafeteria, another rough report came through.

"What is it?" Zhao Hai asked impatiently.

"Lieutenant General Vergo has summoned the colonel for a visit," the naval soldier replied truthfully.

"Lieutenant General Vergo?"

Hearing the navy soldier's answer, Zhao Hai was also puzzled. He hadn't seen Vice Admiral Vergo for more than half a month, so it was a bit unexpected that he would suddenly contact him now.

"Alright, I understand. I'll be right there." Zhao Hai waved to the naval soldier who came to report.

Navy G5 branch, Vice Admiral Vergo's office.

"Lieutenant General Vergo, is there something you need from me?"

Zhao Hai looked at Lieutenant General Vergo, who had a calm expression, and asked in a low voice.

Lieutenant General Vergo did not answer Zhao Hai immediately, but instead took a document from his drawer and handed it to him.

"Uh?"

Looking at the document in Lieutenant General Vergo's hand, Zhao Hai was also puzzled. "Why are you showing me a document? Can't you just say what you want to say?"

Suppressing his curiosity, Zhao Hai slowly opened the file.

drink!

The next moment, upon seeing the familiar contents of the document, Zhao Hai's pupils shrank drastically, and he was truly startled.

Zhao Hai looked at Lieutenant General Vergo and asked, "What's going on here? Wasn't this something I wrote for fun out of boredom?"

"boring?"

"Just writing this for fun?"

"If writing something just for fun can cause such a stir, then if you take it seriously, the world will surely turn upside down."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's casual reply, Lieutenant General Vergo couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Forcibly calming himself down, Lieutenant General Vergo said solemnly, "You have no idea what kind of storm your article has stirred up around the world, do you?"

"Storms? What big storms could such a thing possibly cause?" Seeing Lieutenant General Vergo's serious expression, Zhao Hai was even more puzzled.

Seeing Zhao Hai's puzzled expression, Lieutenant General Vergo patiently explained, "Hehe... Your article is being heavily publicized by the Revolutionary Army, and the World Government is also about to undergo a major reshuffle because of it."

Chapter 73 Repelling Lieutenant General Vergo

"what?"

Hearing Lieutenant General Vergo's explanation, Zhao Hai was deeply shaken, unaware that the documents in his hands had fallen to the ground.

Zhao Hai never imagined that a casual outline he wrote for educating his subordinates would have such a huge impact.

This not only affected the reshuffling of the Navy Headquarters, but also involved the Revolutionary Army on a large scale.

Moreover, he could also imagine that the fact that he had been able to stay here peacefully for so long was probably due to the efforts of the Buddha Sengoku and his group.

However, given the magnitude of the matter, it will likely be traced back to him sooner or later. Moreover, judging from Lieutenant General Vergo's current behavior, he clearly has ulterior motives.

However, Zhao Hai quickly forced himself to calm down, looked at Lieutenant General Vergo calmly, and asked, "So what does Lieutenant General Vergo want with me?"

"Ok?"

Seeing how quickly Zhao Hai recovered from his momentary daze, Lieutenant General Vergo's brow furrowed in surprise.

However, having weathered many storms, Lieutenant General Vergo naturally concealed his true feelings and said with a serious expression, "I believe you are aware of your current situation, so if you want to survive this magnificent upheaval, you must rely on a powerful force."

"Right now, your backers—those old guys at the Navy Headquarters—are also mired in trouble and probably can't protect you. So, joining forces with me is your best option right now."

"You? I doubt you have that kind of strength, do I?" Zhao Hai said with a faint smile.

Lieutenant General Vergo was not annoyed by Zhao Hai's sarcasm. Instead, he smiled faintly, revealing a strong sense of confidence, and said, "Of course I don't have that strength, but the forces behind me definitely do."

"The forces behind it?"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea—Doflamingo?"

Upon hearing Lieutenant General Vergo's words, Zhao Hai replied calmly.

"what?"

"you know?"

"How is this possible?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai identify his master as Doflamingo, Vice Admiral Vergo's smile vanished, replaced by deep shock.

Keep in mind that it took him a full fifteen years to climb up the ranks from a Marine soldier to his current position, and his identity as the highest-ranking officer of the Doflamingo Pirates is a closely guarded secret.

Apart from a few core cadres, no one else received it.

But now this young man who just came out of the Navy Headquarters actually knows his true identity. How could he not be surprised?

After the initial shock came a deep sense of fear. If Zhao Hai knew his true identity, then what about the higher-ups at Navy Headquarters?
