"Sigh! Looks like I'll have to search the surrounding area thoroughly!"

"Fortunately, I have further improved my Fish Leap Transformation Technique of the Seven Transformations of Heaven during this period, which should be enough to deal with this situation."

Having made up his mind, Zhao Hai pushed the Fish Leap Transformation Technique to its limit.

With his feet like fish tails and his arms like fish sieves, the entire room appeared to Zhao Hai as a slightly smaller lake.

With arms waving and toes lightly touching the ground, she moved around the room like a fish swimming in the ocean.

Although Zhao Hai's movements looked clumsy and comical, he still managed to perform the prototype of the Seven Transformations of Heaven - Fish Leap Transformation with barely any mistakes.

"Ok?"

"These should be Zoro's three swords."

Suddenly, Zhao Hai stopped moving, feeling the chilling aura emanating from the cold iron swords in his hands.

"bass!"

"Sizzle...!"

Zhao Hai carried three knives to the window in the moonlight and drew one of the obviously different precious knives.

"This should be the 'Wado Ichimonji' sword that Zoro got from Kuina."

Zhao Hai gazed at the blade, which gleamed with a chilling light under the moonlight, and admired it.

What man doesn't love swords?

Who didn't dream of being a knight-errant in their childhood?

In the world of martial arts, a long sword, a giant sword, a pot of fine wine, and a long robe are all you need to roam the land and uphold justice.

This is naturally what Zhao Hai longs for, especially after obtaining the power system and coming to the passionate world of One Piece, where everything becomes possible, making this desire even stronger.

"bass……"

Zhao Hai composed himself and sheathed his sword.

"Now that we've obtained Zoro's swords, we should go back and give them to Zoro, and then wait for Luffy to arrive tomorrow."

Zhao Hai glanced one last time at the sleeping Berumeber, who appeared as if he were a pig under the moonlight, not far away. He casually pulled off the tablecloth from the round table beside him, wrapped it around the three precious swords, and walked out with them.

“Take me to the execution ground at the naval base now. Young Master Helmeppo wants me to kill Zoro right now.”

Zhao Hai walked to the door and gave instructions to the two sailor "guards" in a calm tone.

"Yes!"

……

As they approached the execution ground, Zhao Hai casually made up an excuse to get rid of the two troublesome sailor "guards".

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's order to leave, the two "guards" acted without the slightest hesitation, turning and departing immediately.

And he clearly let out a sigh of relief as he left.

Although they were naval personnel and had experienced many battles, it was still quite unsettling to see blood at night.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Zhao Hai untied Zoro's ropes, took out a few steamed buns from his sleeve and handed them to him, and also threw him the tablecloth wrapped around the three treasured swords of 'Wado Ichimonji'.

Chapter Ten: The Overbearing Straw Hat Luffy

"You can run away now, but I hope you'll leave tomorrow, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

"You should still remember the little girl who secretly brought you food, right..."

Zhao Hai didn't say it explicitly, leaving it at that.

After saying that, Zhao Hai turned and left. He did not stay to hear Zoro's answer, because he already had a clear answer in his heart.

Zoro is a swordsman with a strong sense of chivalry, and he would never leave if he knew that the little girl was likely in danger.

Therefore, Zhao Hai was not worried at all that his plans for tomorrow would have any problems.

All Zhao Hai needs to do now is to immediately return to the comfortable bed that Bellemere had arranged for him and have a good night's sleep.

He just needs to wait for Straw Hat Luffy to arrive tomorrow so he can focus on building a good relationship with Luffy and complete the task given to him by the system Xiao Jin.

"Xiao Jin, I remember there's a sword in the system, right? When will I be able to get the only item listed in the attribute section—the King's Sword?"

Lying in bed, Zhao Hai recalled examining Zoro's treasured sword, the "Wado Ichimonji," and couldn't help but think that he also had a "King's Sword" in his system that he hadn't yet acquired. He then asked the system, Xiao Jin, with great enthusiasm.

Zhao Hai hadn't heard Xiao Jin's voice for a while. Today, during his inspection of the naval base, no matter how he tried to communicate with Xiao Jin through the system, he received no response.

Zhao Hai thought it had fallen into some kind of slumber and would only wake up again after completing this mission, so he didn't expect Xiao Jin to answer; it was just a strange psychological effect at play.

"The King's Sword is a supreme treasure of the starry sky. Given your complete inability to protect it, it's best to forget about it. Improving your strength is the right path!"

He hadn't expected a reply, but received one nonetheless. Zhao Hai was initially delighted, saying, "Xiao Jin, you weren't asleep? Why haven't you replied all day..."

However, the joy on his face had not yet fully blossomed, and the words of his barely suppressed excitement had not yet been uttered.

Zhao Hai's expression suddenly changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly. He said, "Wait... Xiao Jin, what did you just say? I need to have the ability to completely protect the King's Sword in order to obtain it, doesn't that mean I need to reach the strength of one of the Four Emperors of the Sea?"

"stupid!"

"Self-preservation is self-preservation, and strength is strength!"

"..."

"When exactly was that?"

"do not know!"

"Uh--"

Finally, Zhao Hai slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep with a feeling of helplessness and a touch of sadness.

……

……

The next day, the sky was just beginning to reveal a few rays of dawn.

The thin fog had not completely dissipated, and one could only vaguely see what lay ahead.

At this moment, Zhao Hai was still in bed dreaming of dominating the pirate world: in his dream, he had become an unparalleled powerhouse who surpassed the Four Emperors of the Pirates, punching the beasts—Kaido, kicking the Marine Admiral, and slapping the descendant of the Celestial Dragon.

Sudden……

"boom……"

"Boom... Boom..."

"..."

A series of loud explosions reverberated throughout the entire naval base, causing it to tremble violently.

"Hahaha...! Helmeppo, where have you locked Zoro up? Release him right now! I want him to be my partner!"

Then, an incredibly arrogant and haughty voice, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, reached the ears of everyone in the entire naval base.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Hai was absolutely certain that the person who made it was the one he was waiting for—Straw Hat Luffy.

"Wow! That voice is fucking awesome!"

"As expected of a man destined to awaken Conqueror's Haki, a power unmatched by any other in the world, the intimidation effect he possesses is truly remarkable!"

Zhao Hai reached out and rubbed his ears, which were still making a continuous "roaring" sound, and couldn't help but marvel at the power of Conqueror's Haki.

"Now that Straw Hat Luffy is here, let's get moving!"

After catching his breath and shaking his still-sleepy head, Zhao Hai got up and immediately headed towards the execution ground where Zoro was.

……

Naval base center, Colonel Monca's office.

"Oh shit!"

"Who dares to cause trouble in the naval base under my command, the Axe-Hand—Monka? Find out right now!"

Colonel Monca angrily exhaled the cigarette he was smoking and loudly ordered the naval guards outside the door.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"..."

"Tap...tap..."

"tread……"

A squad of naval personnel outside the door immediately obeyed, answered loudly, and sped outside.

"Has the reputation of this axe-wielder been forgotten for too long?"

"How dare two or three clowns come to our door? It seems it's time for my beloved axe to drink the blood of the living."

Colonel Monca looked at the chaotic naval base outside, stuck out his tongue and licked the sharp axe blade in his right hand, his eyes bloodshot, like a bloodthirsty beast.

"Report...report..."

"Report..."

Colonel Monca had just sat down when he heard a naval junior officer running in, panting heavily.

The young naval officer was visibly trembling, his eyes wide with fear. He stood trembling outside the door, not daring to look directly at Colonel Monca, his eyes fixed on the ground.

"What's all the fuss about? With me, the colonel, here, do you think we'd be afraid of the enemy breaching this naval base?"

Colonel Monca reprimanded the cowardly naval officer with great displeasure.

"It was...it was the...colon's...stone...statue that was...destroyed...by...a...boy...wearing a straw hat."

Sensing Colonel Monca's rage, the naval officer trembled uncontrollably and stammered in response.

"What!!"

Colonel Monca initially didn't care much, but after listening carefully and reflecting on it, he suddenly realized that his statue had been destroyed. Instantly, his anger flared up, and he jumped up from his desk and chair.

His eyes were bloodthirsty as he stared at the trembling sailor standing to the side, and he kept getting closer to him.
