Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

Then Zhao Hai saw an attack that looked like a bird arrive in an instant.

Sensing the immense power contained within the attack, Zhao Hai did not attempt a direct confrontation.

With a flick of his wrists, he unleashed the Flying Swallow Transformation, narrowly avoiding Lucci's attack.

But Lucci's attacks went far beyond that. When one move failed, he activated his Devil Fruit—the Cat-Cat Fruit in Leopard form.

"Wow! This leopard-man's speed and attack power have increased by so much!"

"Damn it! How the hell am I supposed to fight this?"

Watching Lu Qi's constantly flashing figure and the marble slab behind him shattered into pieces, Zhao Hai felt a chill run down his spine.

"La la la!"

Chapter Ninety-Six Freedom Alliance

"Six Styles: Moon Step!"

Seeing that Zhao Hai's retreat was blocked by his fierce attack, Lu Qi took a step forward.

The powerful force of the foot striking the air generates an extremely strong hang time.

He walked through the air as if in space, but despite his walking posture, Lu Qi was extremely fast, and in an instant he was right in front of Zhao Hai.

"Fingergun 'Spot'!"

Lu Qi's movements did not falter at all as he approached Zhao Hai's side.

With a flick of its leopard claws, countless finger spears shot straight at Zhao Hai.

"Hai-ge!"

A barrage of attacks rained down on Zhao Hai, while Ade, standing to the side, watched in astonishment.

"How can we play if we don't reveal our hand?"

Seeing that Lu Qi seemed to become a completely different person when he got serious, with unparalleled speed and power in his attacks, Zhao Hai felt that he couldn't withstand it.

Given the huge difference in their levels, Zhao Hai had no choice but to reveal his trump card.

"You forced me to do this!"

Zhao Hai pointed at the countless leopard claws flying at him, completely unconcerned.

He secretly communicated with his mind about the privilege "Invincible for three minutes - Admiral privilege", ready to deliver a fatal blow to Lucci at any time.

"Have you given up?"

Seeing that Zhao Hai was no longer "resisting", Lu Qi was surprised.

However, his movements did not stop at all; his moves were fierce and aimed directly at Zhao Hai.

"Ha ha……"

With his eyes fixed on Lu Qi, who was about to strike, Zhao Hai's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

His face wore a smile that seemed to come from a demon from hell.

However, Lucci, who was focused on his attack and killing moves, did not notice the curve of Zhao Hai's lips.

Otherwise, one's entire mind would be startled and shaken.

"Fire Fist!!"

But the situation changed drastically the next moment. Just as Zhao Hai was about to unleash his trump card, a giant fist of fire shot straight at Lu Qi, who was attacking Zhao Hai.

"Humph!"

Xiangqian's mind had been focused on Zhao Hai, and now he was suddenly attacked from behind, hitting his junior directly, and letting out a heavy groan.

"Wow--"

Feeling the violent churning of his internal organs, Lucci couldn't suppress the sweetness in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"That was close!"

With Lucci's attack thwarted, Zhao Hai also severed his previous communication with the King System.

At the same time, his figure flashed continuously, dodging Lucci's finger gun and leaping to the side.

puff!puff!puff!

However, Lu Qi's finger gun was too fast and too dense, and it pierced through the golden light sphere that Zhao Hai had raised, tearing a large chunk of flesh from his chest.

"Damn it! That really hurts!"

Feeling the pain in his body, Zhao Hai cursed fiercely.

At the same time, Zhao Hai was extremely relieved, because if Ace's Fire Fist had come a second later, Zhao Hai would have already activated his last trump card.

"Brother Hai!"

Seeing Zhao Hai injured, Ade, who had been shocked, also came to Zhao Hai's side and ran over to help him up.

"Need not!"

Zhao Hai waved his hand.

Then, enduring the pain, he walked towards Lu Qi, who was not far away.

Although Lucci was severely injured by Ace's attack, he still had the strength to fight.

Seeing Zhao Hai approaching, Lu Qi ignored him and instead focused on the man bathed in flames walking from a distance.

"Ace! Are you really going to go against me?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lucci's eyes burned with fury, but he hesitated.

Putting aside the fact that Ace's fighting strength was formidable and he himself might not be able to defeat him, Ace was also a subordinate of Whitebeard, the world's strongest man.

From any perspective, Lucci would never want to antagonize Ace.

However, we should still fight for what we should fight for, and we should not lose the aura that a strong person should have.

"You are not worthy to be my opponent. If you are not convinced, come and fight!"

Ace waved his fiery fists, his tone dismissive.

"you……"

Lucci was furious at Ace's arrogance.

However, considering the current situation, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Hmph! You'll regret going against me, Lucci."

call!

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Lucci swayed and left the alley.

"Why did you make a move?" Zhao Hai asked Ace.

At the same time, I was secretly thinking: Even if Luffy introduced me, I'm still wearing a mask right now.

Given Ace's carefree personality, it's impossible that he would recognize me, someone he's never met before, in just a few glances!

"Hehe, for no reason!"

Ace laughed a few times, then left alone.

Is this cause and effect?

Watching Ace's departing figure, Zhao Hai pondered to himself, "You help me now, and I'll save your life later!"

Hearing Zhao Hai's mutterings, Ade asked curiously, "What cause and effect?"

"It's nothing, let's go back to the hotel!"

Seeing Ace's figure disappear into the alley ahead, Zhao Hai withdrew his gaze and began walking towards the restaurant.

Back at the hotel, Ade called a doctor to bandage Zhao Hai's wound.

Because the naval warships were handed over to Espagu for refitting, Zhao Hai stayed at the hotel alone.

So he booked the entire hotel for a week, and Zhao Hai didn't encounter anyone causing trouble in Water City during that week.

And Ace just comes to the restaurant that Zhao Hai has booked every day to eat and drink for free.

Previously, other members of Haige's fan club had tried to drive Ace away, but fortunately, Ade discovered this in time and stopped them.

Then Ade recounted how Ace had beaten up Lucci, which made everyone feel a sense of lingering fear.

However, Zhao Hai was pondering why Ace was still not leaving Water Seven.

"Just to freeload?"

"impossible!"

"Is there any news about Blackbeard Teach here?"

"But I haven't heard of it!"

"..."

Zhao Hai quickly rejected all of these ideas.

Unable to figure it out, Zhao Hai stopped thinking about it and began to wander around Water City.

Since the mission was to travel thousands of miles, Zhao Hai fully played the role of a traveler.

He led Ade and his group on various travel experiences.

Money talks!

Meanwhile, Ade and the others, who had been at Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, were also very curious about the new and exciting things they saw outside.

……

Time flies when you're having fun, and before I knew it, I'd been in Water Seven for over a week.

As the system announced the next "travel" destination.

Espagu's brilliant secretary also brought good news that the warship's refit was complete.

Because it was only a modification of some important parts, and Zhao Hai even paid extra to expedite the work.

That's why the warship's refit was completed in just over a week.
