Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

The more Lieutenant General Vergo thought about it, the more cold sweat poured down his body.

"Is the boss behind Doflamingo, one of the Four Emperors of the Beasts—Kaido of the Beasts?"

Before Lieutenant General Vergo could recover from his fear, Zhao Hai's calm words struck him hard, causing him to tremble and his veins to bulge.

Seeing Lieutenant General Vergo's terrifying appearance, even the usually calm Zhao Hai felt a jolt in his heart.

However, he forcibly suppressed his anger and continued, "The power of the Four Emperors is indeed sufficient, but what benefits would I gain from joining you?"

Lieutenant General Vergo forcibly suppressed his inner unease and fear, and said, "I don't care where you found out about our identities, but as long as you join us, the benefits will naturally be endless wealth and honor, and fine wine and beautiful women will be at your fingertips."

"What if I join you? What will happen then?"

Zhao Hairao looked at Lieutenant General Vergo with interest.

Seeing Zhao Hai's nonchalant demeanor, Lieutenant General Vergo was also filled with doubt.

However, he still made a fierce beheading gesture and said, "If you can't be used by us, then there's no need for you to continue living!"

"Oh?"

Upon receiving Lieutenant General Vergo's clear reply, Zhao Hai's expression changed, and an invisible pressure suddenly appeared, pressing down on Lieutenant General Vergo.

Lieutenant General Vergo, who had previously not taken Zhao Hai seriously, felt a hint of caution in his eyes as he experienced Zhao Hai's sharp aura.

In fact, from the moment he arrived at the Navy G5 branch, Zhao Hai had been constantly killing marine life in order to save his life, and his strength had reached a new level.

Furthermore, by utilizing a special privilege, his strength was boosted once again.

Therefore, although Zhao Hai was still no match for Lieutenant General Vergo at this time, it was very possible that he could remain invincible with his perfect fish leap transformation technique. So Zhao Hai could be said to be fearless of Lieutenant General Vergo at this time.

Everything he had done before was just a cover for his final trump card. Now that Lieutenant General Vergo had torn off the mask, Zhao Hai naturally unleashed his full power, crushing everyone with his aura.

"Kid, then I'll show you the true power of this world. You young punk, you really don't know your own limitations. Do you really think you're invincible just because you won the Navy Championship? How laughable!"

Seeing Zhao Hai's imposing aura, Lieutenant General Vergo knew he had to use his strength to subdue Zhao Hai; otherwise, without wearing down the arrogance of this genius, how could he be made to submit to others?

hum!hum!hum!

As Vice Admiral Vergo finished speaking, the air rippled, and his entire body was instantly covered by Armament Haki.

bass!

Looking at the dark, unremarkable lump of iron in front of him, Zhao Hai dared not be lazy. He drew his sword and stood ready, while secretly gathering the power of sharp metal in his palm, preparing for a surprise attack.

Finger gun!

Then, Lieutenant General Vergo whispered something, raised his right hand, and launched a fierce attack at lightning speed towards Zhao Hai.

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

Faced with Lieutenant General Vergo's ghostly attack speed, Zhao Hai also pushed his Fish Leap Transformation movement technique to its limit.

The fish leaps to perfection, but there is no fish in the heart.

At this moment, Zhao Hai no longer needed to deliberately imitate the movements of fish. With a casual movement of his body, the profound mysteries of the Fish Leap Transformation technique emerged.

Therefore, it seemed that Zhao Hai had the ability to predict Vergo's attacks as if he possessed Observation Haki, and easily dodged Vergo's finger guns.

Actually, that's not the case. After all, Zhao Hai was facing a top expert in the world of One Piece, and he was also working overtime, with his internal organs feeling heavy pressure.

So, while Zhao Hai appeared to be easily dodging Lieutenant General Vergo's attacks, if the fight continued like this, Zhao Hai would eventually be worn down and die here.

"This can't go on!"

Seeing the situation clearly, Zhao Hai's eyes darted around quickly. He turned around to avoid Lieutenant General Vergo's finger-gun attack and then took the initiative to strike.

"Lieutenant General Vergo, take this sword!"

With a loud shout, Zhao Hai swung his longsword to the side, and with a flash of sword light, he charged toward Lieutenant General Vergo at top speed.

At the same time, because the longsword was bearing the enormous force in Zhao Hai's hand and moving at high speed, it was rubbing against the surrounding air resistance and making a buzzing sound.

Seeing Zhao Hai's sword light flash by, Lieutenant General Vergo was completely unconcerned. He simply raised his right fist slightly and pointed out with his finger pistol.

Clang!

Zhao Hai's longsword withstood a finger-gun attack from Lieutenant General Vergo, producing a loud bang, and the blade slightly deflected.

Zhao Hai had been secretly preparing this move for a long time, so how could he give up so easily?

The next moment, he exerted force with his sword-wielding hand, straightened the blade, shouted loudly, and charged forward with all his might.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Lieutenant General Vergo's spears struck Zhao Hai's longsword, but they did not change the direction Zhao Hai's sword was pointing in the slightest.

Clang!

The longsword struck Lieutenant General Vergo with a clang, but failed to injure him in the slightest.

"Hmph! Kid, your strength is indeed quite good among the younger generation, but you are still no match for me."

Lieutenant General Vergo looked at the longsword Zhao Hai had used to slash at him, sneered disdainfully, and said, "So you'd better abandon your ridiculous pride and obediently join us!"

Seeing Lieutenant General Vergo's confident expression, Zhao Hai did not refute him, but secretly compressed the power of sharp metal in his palm.

Shortly after, just when Lieutenant General Vergo thought Zhao Hai had given up resistance, the longsword in Zhao Hai's hand suddenly rang out with a soft sound.

Looking up, one could see a golden ball of light being transmitted from the longsword in Zhao Hai's hand, and its target was clearly Lieutenant General Vergo.

If you look closely at the part of the longsword that the golden sphere passed through, you can faintly see the cracks on the sword. As the golden sphere continues to move forward, these cracks are gradually getting bigger.

boom!

Although it was said slowly, all of this happened in the blink of an eye. Seeing the golden ball of light coming at lightning speed, Lieutenant General Vergo was unable to dodge in time and was blasted away.

Seeing Lieutenant General Vergo blasted away, Zhao Hai did not press his advantage. Instead, he said disdainfully, "You, Lieutenant General Vergo, are not qualified to have me join you. Go and call Doflamingo to come and talk to me personally!"

"you……"

Lieutenant General Vergo, who had been knocked away by Zhao Hai, was also furious upon hearing Zhao Hai's arrogant words.

However, he did not refute it, because Zhao Hai's last blow had really injured him, and the injury was not light.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Vergo vaguely sensed the power of nature in Zhao Hai's final attack, and the power of nature usually comes from Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

Those who possess Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities have limitless future prospects, and Vice Admiral Vergo is not entirely confident in taking down Zhao Hai.

So he didn't take any further action, but instead prepared to go back and report to Doflamingo.

"Hmph! I'll be back." With a cold snort, Vice Admiral Vergo left the Navy's G5 branch.

With Lieutenant General Vergo gone, Zhao Hai's tense nerves relaxed, and his body swayed uncontrollably.

Although Zhao Hai had knocked and injured Lieutenant General Vergo, his own injuries were more serious than those of Lieutenant General Vergo.

Chapter Seventy-Four: The Enemy Arrives

Navy G5 branch, a hospital bed.

"Ok?"

Zhao Hai slowly opened his eyes and looked at his body.

"Colonel, you're awake!"

Just as Zhao Hai was checking his injuries, a pleasant female voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing someone call his name, he looked up in confusion and saw a young and lovely nurse looking at him with concern.

Upon seeing the nurse, Zhao Hai's eyes lit up: "I never expected to find such a cute nurse. This injury really wasn't for nothing!"

Although secretly pleased, Zhao Hai maintained a nonchalant demeanor as he looked at the nurse: "Yes, she's awake."

"By the way, how many days have I been lying down?"

Glancing out the window, Zhao Hai asked casually.

"Ten days," the nurse replied earnestly.

"what?"

"Ten days!"

Upon hearing the nurse's answer, Zhao Hai was no longer calm.

Ten days ago, Vice Admiral Vergo was forced to retreat. Does that mean that Doflamingo's executives are about to arrive?

Zhao Hai's original plan was to report Vice Admiral Vergo's intelligence to the Navy Headquarters, and preferably send an expert.

But now, ten days have passed, and the initiative has been lost. Even if they ask the Marine Headquarters for help, it is unlikely that they will be able to arrive before Doflamingo and his group.

If they run away, the task of reorganizing the Navy's G5 branch, which was almost completed, will be ruined.

"No matter what, we can't give up so easily. Let's report the situation to the Navy Headquarters first!"

Zhao Hai clenched his fist, made up his mind, put on his coat, and walked toward Lieutenant General Vergo's office.

“bele…bele…”

As soon as Zhao Hai arrived at Vice Admiral Vergo's office, he contacted the Naval Headquarters via Den Den Mushi.

"This is Marine Headquarters. I am Admiral Akainu of the Marine Headquarters." A majestic voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Hai had a bad feeling. Shouldn't the Den Den Mushi of the Navy Headquarters be contacting Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the Buddha?

But now it is Admiral Akainu who is in charge of the Marine Headquarters, which is quite unusual.

"Is Marshal Zhan Guo here? I am Colonel Caribbean Hai from the G5 branch of the Navy. I have urgent military intelligence to report." Zhao Hai's tone was solemn.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku has gone to the Holy Land Mary Geoise. I am now in full charge of the Marine Headquarters. Speak quickly if you have any urgent military information!" Akainu's face turned serious upon hearing that there was urgent military information.

"Sengoku the Buddha actually went to the Holy Land Mary Geoise? And he even put Akainu in charge of all the affairs of the Marine Headquarters. It seems that Vice Admiral Vergo was right after all; it really is a major reshuffle!"

Zhao Hai was somewhat surprised by Akainu's answer.

He had previously heard Vice Admiral Vergo say that there would be a major reshuffle at the Marine Headquarters. He originally thought it would just involve the top brass of the Marines, but he didn't expect that it would directly target Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

However, given the urgency of the situation, Zhao Hai disregarded whether the opponent was Sengoku the Buddha or Akainu, and still reported Vice Admiral Vergo's information one by one.

"what?"

"you sure?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's report, Akainu on the other end of the Den Den Mushi also shouted in surprise.
