Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

Seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of Teacher Chatun and Gary, Zhao Hai burst into laughter.

At the same time, he didn't forget to use the fish leap transformation technique in the air to strike a rather cool pose.

Bang!

Suddenly, Tea Pig Teacher felt dizzy and, in a moment of carelessness, the Sicilian Major General she was holding slipped off her feet.

"Ouch!"

Having already been badly beaten by Zhao Hai, the Sicilian Major General screamed even louder now that Teacher Chatun had thrown him from a great height.

Given Major General Sicily's mastery of Armament Haki, even falling from this height wouldn't have caused him any problems.

Unfortunately, he had been rendered powerless by Zhao Hai in the past, and he was helpless in the face of the injuries from the fall.

"This...this isn't a joke, is it?"

Seeing this dreamlike scene, Granter's mouth dropped open.

He had previously worried that Zhao Hai would be killed by the Sicilian Major General and regretted not being able to take revenge in the future.

But what's going on with this scene?

A rear admiral from the Navy Headquarters was beaten so badly he screamed repeatedly, his face completely disfigured.

Zhao Hai, a naval freshman, stood leisurely in the air, looking quite content.

Is this reasonable?

Did things really have to end this way?

Gary, Coby, and the others shared Glent's sentiments, and were utterly shocked by the scene before them, which was completely contrary to their expectations.

However, the white-haired swordsman Zepa, who was standing to the side, unconsciously relaxed his furrowed brows.

Gazing at Zhao Hai's unruly figure in the air, he clenched his fists: "I knew you wouldn't be beaten down by the Sicilian Major General. Your progress has indeed surprised me, but that's what gives me the motivation to catch up."

In the air, Zhao Hai met Zepa's gaze and smiled slightly at him.

He also had high hopes for Zepa, a genius from the Marine Headquarters. Although he defeated him, it was only by relying on the power of the King System.

Zepa, on the other hand, has reached his current level entirely through his own talent and hard work. Moreover, he is humble and unassuming, which makes it hard for Zhao Hai not to respect him.

However, Zhao Hai quickly wiped the smile off his face the next second, because he felt an extremely sharp gaze fixed on him.

Even with his current strength comparable to a rear admiral in the Navy Headquarters, he could feel an extremely heavy pressure from that sharp gaze.

It's easy to imagine how strong the owner of those eyes is; in any case, Zhao Hai didn't sense this level of palpitation from Doflamingo and his group.

Although Zhao Hai's smile faded, he remained extremely calm inside.

Since this is the Marine Headquarters, and he knows the strength of most of the people around him, the only one who could possibly have this strength is Teacher Chaton.

Before Zhao Hai could even turn around, a loud voice rang out, "Tea Pig Teacher, it's been a long time! I've really missed you!"

As the words were spoken, Zhao Hai slowly turned to Cha Tun-sensei, his face full of respect.

"Humph!"

But the dignified and imposing Tea Pig teacher gave Zhao Hai a heavy snort.

At this moment, Teacher Chatun could be said to want to kill Zhao Hai. Just because he "saved" this kid in front of him, he was regarded by the new navy as a typical corrupt bureaucrat and an executioner who arbitrarily suppressed naval geniuses.

He also glanced at the Sicilian Rear Admiral lying on the ground groaning, his eyes filled with deep resentment. "You're supposed to be a general in the Navy Headquarters, yet you can't even beat a rookie navy officer. You're a fucking piece of trash!"

"You're useless, fine, but you can't even run away when you can't win? Don't tell me you didn't even have a chance to escape from the Caribbean? Damn it, you've ruined my old bones, you're a real piece of work!"

Fortunately, at this moment, Major General Sicily was only feeling pain all over his body and did not notice the cold glint in Teacher Chaton's eyes. Otherwise, he would probably be crying out to the heavens for justice.

After scanning the Sicilian Major General for a while, Teacher Chatun's gaze returned to Zhao Hai.

After staring at him for a long time, he still couldn't see anything different about Zhao Hai, and he couldn't help but frown deeply.

Seeing that Chaton-sensei was staring at him, Zhao Hai felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but whisper, "Chaton-sensei!"

After hearing Zhao Hai's voice, Teacher Chaton looked up, staring directly into Zhao Hai's eyes, and asked with a serious expression, "What is your current strength?"

"A Rear Admiral or so, probably!" Zhao Hai replied casually.

Tea Pig Teacher was slightly taken aback by Zhao Hai's casual words.

Although he had some suspicions that Zhao Hai had the ability to defeat the Sicilian Major General, he believed more that Zhao Hai had used some special means to subdue the Sicilian Major General.

Upon receiving confirmation from Zhao Hai himself, his entire being was shaken.

During the naval competition, his strongest attack barely reached the attack power of a naval rear admiral.

But now, only a few months have passed, and his strength has directly reached the level of a Rear Admiral in the Navy Headquarters. How can this make Teacher Chaton calm?

"Since you enjoy staying in this air so much, then you can stay here and I won't keep you company."

Teacher Chaton stood silently in the air for a long time. Zhao Hai greeted him and then sped off in the direction where Gary and Coby were.

Bang!

His body plummeted downwards at lightning speed, his footsteps slamming heavily onto the ground with a loud thud.

Gary and the others in front of him still looked dazed. Zhao Hai stretched out his hand and waved it in front of them, then chuckled softly, "Are you all alright? Did you miss your Hai-ge?"

"Brother Hai, I miss you so much!"

Among the crowd, the little girl Darlena was the first to react and immediately ran to Zhao Hai's side.

Seeing the tears welling up in the little girl Darlena's eyes, Zhao Hai tenderly hugged her, rubbed her head, and said softly, "What do you miss most about your brother?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's question, the little girl, Darlena, also looked serious and answered with great solemnity, "Of course, it's the story that Brother Hai owes me!"

"Uh--"

"Is it really that I'm not as important as a little girl's little story?"

Hearing the little girl Darlena's hurtful answer, and seeing her serious expression that showed she wasn't just saying it casually, Zhao Hai felt deeply hurt.

"Brother Hai, you were amazing! You actually defeated the Sicilian Major General!"

"Yes, at first we thought you were being hunted down by the Sicilian Major General. We never expected Brother Hai to have such strength. He's truly unfathomable!"

Fortunately, just as Zhao Hai was feeling hurt, Gary, Coby, and the others recovered from their daze and looked at him with envy, which slightly eased his embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Zepa and Granter, after seeing Zhao Hai and Koby gather together, also quietly left.

Having witnessed Zhao Hai's unparalleled strength, their minds were deeply moved.

They knew they had no chance of winning against Zhao Hai now, so they withdrew and prepared to train diligently before challenging him again.

……

Navy mess hall.

Zhao Hai, Gary, Kebby, and their loyal henchman Ade were sitting at one of the long, wide dining tables.

Chef Zeff was also busy preparing meals for everyone in the kitchen.

After all, Zhao Hai hadn't returned for half a year, so this gathering was quite lively.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and Zhao Hai temporarily forgot about the impending farewell.

However, as the banquet was nearing its end, Zhao Hai hesitated slightly before finally standing up and saying, "The reason I'm returning to Marine Headquarters this time is actually to say goodbye to everyone. I'm about to leave Marineford and I don't plan to be a Marine anymore."

"what?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Gary stood up and stared at Zhao Hai in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Koby, Ade, and the others around him stared at Zhao Hai with deep confusion in their eyes.

Zhao Hai can be considered the number one genius in the Navy Headquarters, and he is also highly regarded by senior Navy officials such as Garp and Sengoku.

Although it's said that he offended the Celestial Dragons, he was protected by Fleet Admiral Sengoku and others, so Zhao Hai's future in the Navy is limitless.

It's understandable that most people think this way, given that the situation at the Navy Headquarters is still unstable, a new Fleet Admiral has not yet been elected, and the news that Fleet Admiral Sengoku has been stripped of all his powers has not yet been released.

If Zhao Hai hadn't heard Monkey D. Dragon say that he was being targeted by the World Government, he might have continued to serve in the Marines.

After all, the navy is still seen as a symbol of justice by most people.

This is probably a major reason why influential pirates like Hawkeye and Doflamingo are willing to become Shichibukai.

Looking at the familiar faces around him, Zhao Hai felt a pang of sadness.

However, he ultimately managed to suppress this dangerous feeling.

Now, in this prominent position in the Navy, Zhao Hai feels completely insecure.

He felt uneasy at the thought of those annoying CP personnel under the World Government's rule.

Those intelligence agents are all hiding in the shadows; they might suddenly jump out and try to kill someone.

Therefore, in order to avoid being monitored by the CP, Zhao Hai finally decided to leave the Marine Headquarters as soon as possible, and he had to leave secretly.

Seeing the puzzled looks on Gary and Coby's faces, Zhao Hai didn't offer any explanation. Instead, he replied firmly, "Yes! Because I have important things to do, I can't continue as a Marine!"

He originally thought that his firm stance would deter Gary and the others from opposing him, since he never broke his promises when he was serious.

To Zhao Hai's utter surprise, Gary and the others persisted, asking, "Brother Hai, what's the matter? We can help you with it!"

"fork!"

"Can't I just make up some excuse and get away with it? Can't you let me use my brain cells less? Can't we just have some fun?"

Looking at Gary and the others' sincere expressions, Zhao Hai was speechless.

Chapter Eighty-Six: The Hero's Twilight

S: Happy New Year everyone!!!

Faced with Zhao Hai's determination to leave, Gary and the others were ultimately helpless.

Although he had decided to leave, Zhao Hai stayed at the Marine Headquarters for the time being because Garp and Sengoku had not yet returned and the situation was still unclear.

Because of the intervention of Teacher Chaton on the Navy's side, Zhao Hai was relatively comfortable staying at the Navy Headquarters.

I practice swordplay with Gary and the others when I have free time, and wander around Marineford Island.

To Zhao Hai's dismay, despite his best efforts, he still couldn't persuade Chef Zeff to go with him.

He then used a roundabout tactic to obtain the little girl Darlene's consent.
