Looking at the magnificent, tall building in the center of the town, which bears a symbol of the navy and the word "MARINE".

Zhao Hai knew that he had arrived at the Marine branch base, and it was also the place where Straw Hat Luffy had rescued Zoro.

"Looks like I got the place and time right!"

Upon entering the naval base and hearing the clanging sounds from the top of the base, Zhao Hai knew that this was where Straw Hat Luffy was about to appear.

Navy Captain Axeman Morgan is extremely cruel and believes in the supremacy of force. He ruthlessly exploits the residents of the town, and anyone who dares to resist is considered a traitor.

Because he held the highest rank and was the strongest in the entire naval base, even though his subordinates were dissatisfied with his rule, they could only swallow their anger and dare not speak out.

Moreover, Colonel Monca was an extremely narcissistic man who ordered his men to build a huge stone statue for him, which he wanted to place at the naval base so that all people would worship it.

The sound coming from the top of the naval base at that moment was likely from someone fiddling with the statue of Colonel Namonka.

Therefore, Zhao Hai deduced that Straw Hat Luffy probably hadn't arrived yet, but his arrival time shouldn't be too far off.

"Young Master Bellemere, have you arrested anyone recently?"

Zhao Hai wanted to confirm whether Zoro had been captured and to determine the approximate time, so he asked tentatively in a low voice.

"Oh……"

"You mean that bounty hunter Zoro? I captured that idiot two weeks ago, and he actually believed that if he offended me, I would release him as long as he held on for a month."

"Bounty Hunter Zoro? Heh... heh...!"

Young Master Bellumeber seemed to have thought of something delightful, and laughed disdainfully.

"Uh--"

"He truly lives up to his reputation as an arrogant and domineering young master!"

Seeing the sinister smile on Young Master Bellume's face, which clearly showed he had succeeded in his revenge, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, he concealed his feelings well, nodding repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes... Offending the Navy's future supernova, isn't that just asking for trouble, practically courting death?"

"Hahaha... Xiao Hai is right!"

Young Master Bellumebo was clearly pleased with Zhao Hai's flattery, and he laughed heartily again, praising Zhao Hai for his good taste.

"Uh--"

"Are you really taking this seriously?"

"A lounge foodie like you calling yourself a Navy Supernova?"

"And what's with that look on your mother's face, all serious and absolutely certain, like you have great taste?"

Zhao Hai was speechless for a long time as he looked at the arrogant young master Bellumebo's smug appearance.

……

"Dad! I'm home!"

"Look at my haul this time! These are my newly recruited subordinates!"

As soon as young Master Bellumeber reached the door of Colonel Monca's office, he excitedly shouted loudly, pointing to Zhao Hai beside him and introducing him.

He seemed quite proud of being able to recruit such a "loyal" subordinate as Zhao Hai.

Following Bellemere's gaze, Zhao Hai saw the imposing and domineering middle-aged man sitting at the desk with his back to them.

He was puffing on some kind of cigarette, the smoke rising from above his head.

"You're back!"

"I heard you destroyed... one of my navy's... reconnaissance ships?"

Upon hearing Bellemere's voice, Colonel Monca slowly turned around, looked at Bellemere carefully, and said slowly, word by word.

Awe-inspiring without anger!

Colonel Monka turned around, and Zhao Hai finally got a clear look at his face.

A metal glove around his mouth, explosively muscular arms, and...

And then there was the right hand, which had been replaced by a sharp, giant axe.

Navy Captain, Axeman – Morgan!

"Dad... listen to me, this was a complete accident. My subordinate Xiao Hai accidentally bumped into the scout ship!"

Young Master Bellumeber turned pale with fright at Colonel Monca's expression and hurriedly explained, trembling.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Bellemere's words, Colonel Monca turned his gaze to Zhao Hai and began to scrutinize the unfamiliar young man.

Instantly, Zhao Hai felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, but he still tried his best to resist and not let the other party see anything.

"Young man, you're very good!"

Colonel Monca was quite satisfied to see that Zhao Hai had not shown the slightest fear under his intimidation and praised him.

"You bastard, at least this time you're not completely messing around. Get the hell out of here!"

Colonel Monca shifted his gaze again and roared at Bellemere.

After shouting, he turned away from Zhao Hai and the others, ignoring them completely.

"Yes, yes, yes... we'll leave right away!"

Bellemere was clearly terrified of Colonel Monca, and quickly pulled Zhao Hai away from the stressful place.

After Zhao Hai left with Young Master Bellume, he felt a sense of relief, and the turbulent emotions he had suppressed finally calmed down.

Chapter 8: Does saving someone need a reason?

"Still too weak! They're far from being as strong as Colonel Monka!"

Thinking about the oppressive aura emanating from Colonel Monca earlier, and then looking at his own physical attributes, Zhao Hai was filled with emotion.

It's worth noting that at this point, Straw Hat Luffy easily defeated Colonel Morgan in their battle.

Morgan, the axe-wielder, is already a colonel, which means that Luffy's strength should at least be around that of a Marine commodore, or even higher.

With Zhao Hai's current meager strength, he can only show off his abilities against these ordinary marines. If he were to become Luffy's partner and join the Straw Hat Pirates, he would be nothing more than a burden.

This is something Zhao Hai absolutely cannot allow!

He must complete the mission as soon as possible and improve his combat effectiveness!

"I must quickly gain Straw Hat Luffy's approval and complete the level 20 unlock quest!"

"Looks like I need to make some preparations for Luffy's arrival tomorrow. Roronoa Zoro would be a great starting point..."

Thinking of Roronoa Zoro, who should be tied up at the execution ground by Young Master Helmeppo right now, Luffy really wanted to invite Zoro to join him. Zhao Hai's eyes flickered.

"Young Master, I heard that Roronoa Sauron dared to offend you. I'll go teach that arrogant brat a lesson right away!"

After figuring out a way to get close to Straw Hat Luffy, Zhao Hai deliberately put on an "indignant" look and "indignantly" volunteered to Helmeppo, who was standing to the side.

"Alright! Go ahead, he's tied to the cross stake at the naval execution ground right now."

When Bellemere saw that Zhao Hai was so angry about his matter, he was very pleased and readily agreed.

With Bellemerg's permission, Zhao Hai left immediately.

Moreover, when he left, Bellumeber specially assigned two naval sailors to serve as "guards" for Zhao Hai.

He instructed them to stay by Zhao Hai's side from now on and be responsible for his safety.

Finally, after Zhao Hai delivered a lengthy and impassioned speech of "deep gratitude and utmost respect," he left amidst a tearful scene of "gratitude" and headed to the naval execution ground.

……

The execution ground at the naval base.

The furnishings were quite simple, consisting of only a high wall surrounding the perimeter and a huge platform in the center, as well as a vast, open training ground.

At this moment, on the huge platform in the very center, there was a wooden stake with a cross on it, and on the stake was a boy wearing a black turban, his face covered in blood, on the verge of death, as if he would die at any moment.

"Judging by his attire, he should definitely be Roronoa Zoro!"

Upon seeing the boy bound to the cross, Zhao Hai was immediately certain that he was Roronoa Zoro, the man he was looking for.

"You two stay here. I'm on Young Master Bellemere's orders to ask him questions privately!"
