Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

Following Espagu's brilliant secretary, they arrived at Carrera Company and paid the remaining fees for the ship's modification.

After Zhao Hai had the Carrera Company sail the ship to the town's port, he and Ade returned to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Zhao Hai had everyone buy resources and supplies and then enjoy a delicious lunch.

Then he led everyone toward the warships docked at the town's port.

The City of Water looks spectacular, with layers of buildings rising from the sea. From a distance, it doesn't look like an island, but rather like a magnificent mechanical structure.

The port is also not to be underestimated. As a shipbuilding center, the city of water has countless berths.

Upon arriving at the port, Zhao Hai and his group quickly reached the location designated by Carrera Company.

Having already made arrangements with Carrera, Espagu's brilliant secretary was standing not far from a warship, waving to Zhao Hai and the others.

"Is this the one?"

"Nothing has changed?"

The other members beside Zhao Hai looked at the scene and found it completely unchanged except for the mast being covered, and they were also very puzzled.

Moreover, they had heard that Zhao Hai had spent a lot of money to modify the ship, and now, looking at the warship that was exactly the same as before, their faces were filled with deep disappointment.

"Hmph! A bunch of cowardly leopards!"

Seeing that Carrera's modified ships were being looked down upon, Espagu's brilliant secretary snorted angrily.

After briefly explaining some methods of using the modified warship to Zhao Hai's navigator, he left.

Upon hearing Esbag's brilliant secretary describe the various functions of the modified warship, the navigator on Zhao Hai's ship gleamed with intense excitement.

Then Zhao Hai and the others boarded the modified naval warship, and the navigator immediately ran to the bridge as soon as he got on board.

However, Zhao Hai stopped her, because he had something important to announce.

Moreover, the ship's modification project was specifically undertaken for Zhao Hai's future plans.

……

Inside the Carrera company's office in Espagu.

A cute little girl stormed in.

"Is everything done?"

The middle-aged man in the chair stopped what he was doing.

"The instructions for using the modified ship have already been given to the navigator." The little girl handed a document to the middle-aged man.

"Hmm!" The middle-aged man glanced at the document in his hand and nodded.

"President, why would they convert naval warships into vessels that can be interchanged between naval warships and pirate ships?"

The little girl seemed to have made a great decision before she finally voiced the doubts that had been lingering in her heart for so long.

This was a fundamental question that shouldn't have been asked, but the little girl was just too curious.

The middle-aged man waved his hand at the little girl's question and sat down.

However, the moment he sat down, the corner of his mouth twitched.

It's obvious that modifying naval warships like this isn't for any good purpose.

Why would Espagu tell such a thing to the little girl?

Even if the other party is a super-intelligent genius!

……

Meanwhile, at the port of Water City, on Zhao Hai's warship.

Zhao Hai gathered everyone on the deck of the warship.

Seeing Zhao Hai's unusually serious expression, everyone was surprised and had a strange feeling.

"Cough cough..."

However, Zhao Hai looked magnanimous, coughed twice, and looked around at everyone: "I'm sure you all have some doubts about why we broke away from the Marine Headquarters to go it alone (because we were squeezed out by the World Government)?"

Seeing the questioning looks from everyone, Zhao Hai nodded in satisfaction: "Because we are geniuses of our time, the Marine Headquarters can no longer meet our development needs (pure nonsense), so..."

Zhao Hai paused slightly, gestured to Ade with his eyes, and then saw Ade walk to the pre-arranged position.

Zhao Hai raised his voice: "Therefore, we are preparing to establish a new organization—the Freedom Alliance!"

As Zhao Hai finished speaking, Ade pulled on the red cloth that had been covering the mast, and it was pulled open.

And on it were three large characters written: Freedom Alliance!

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Departure

At the same time, the words "Freedom Alliance" are surrounded by two dragons, which look majestic.

It possesses the power to devour the heavens and the earth.

The entire flag seemed to exude an unparalleled power that stirred the soul.

Upon seeing this, everyone felt a surge of excitement, and their faces flushed.

His breathing was rapid, as if some grand ambition was stirring within him.

Seeing everyone's performance, Zhao Hai nodded with satisfaction.

Then he raised his hand:

"We can't unleash our true potential in the small pool of the Naval Headquarters; only the endless ocean is the direction for our conquest!"

"We are willing to follow Brother Hai in his conquests!" the crowd exclaimed excitedly in unison.

"Shh!"

Zhao Hai lightly touched the ground with his feet and leaped into the air.

The sea breeze was biting, making the navy cloak behind Zhao Hai flutter loudly.

Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, he pointed slightly forward with his right hand and whispered.

"call!"

Ade, who was standing to the side, received another instruction from Zhao Hai and pulled the rope in his hand again.

The flag bearing the words "Freedom Alliance" was flipped over.

Then a terrifying pirate image of a sharp sword and a skull appeared.

"Pirate flag?"

"No way!"

"Is Brother Hai planning to have us fight pirates?"

"..."

When Zhao Hai displayed the pirate flag, the enthusiasm of the group for embarking on a great undertaking waned.

After all, there are many pirates in this world, but most of them are just plunderers.

How could the navy, which originally believed in "justice," possibly accept this?

Zhao Hai was not surprised at all by noticing the change in the expressions on everyone's faces.

He pointed to the white clouds on the sea horizon:

"You don't need to worry that I'll ask you to become some kind of wicked pirates. That's just a way to confuse people."

"Our pursuit is to be as free as the white clouds in the sky!"

Zhao Hai paused slightly before continuing:

"Our goal is not only to set ourselves free, but also to make every part of the world free!"

"This is the purpose behind the founding of our Freedom Alliance!"

After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he stood quietly in mid-air, watching everyone's reactions, and did not continue speaking.

He was waiting for everyone's reaction; he was watching to see their final decision.

"Hey!"

Everyone was quite frightened when they heard Zhao Hai's words.

The world is now controlled by nobles led by the Celestial Dragons, who enslave other races.

Now Zhao Hai actually wants to make the whole world free!

Wouldn't that be making an enemy of the entire world's class aristocracy?

Isn't it about being at odds with all forms of privilege?

Despite claiming to uphold absolute justice, the Navy, under the suppression of the World Government, has become nothing more than a tool to maintain the privileges of the nobility.

After 800 years of turmoil, both the common people and the Navy Headquarters dared not speak out against the nobles' wanton behavior.

Looking at the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Zhao Hai said softly:

"I know what difficulties lie ahead on this path, so I won't force you!"

Zhao Hai then pointed to the port of the Water City nearby:

"Anyone who doesn't want to join the Freedom Alliance can go back to Marine Headquarters now!"

"I'll participate!"

The moment Zhao Hai finished speaking, Ade raised his hand and shouted loudly.

"Ah."

Seeing Ade's actions, Zhao Hai nodded: "Very good, Ade, from now on you will be the captain of the Freedom Alliance's first team!"

"Thank you so much, Brother Hai!"

Ade looked excited, but quickly corrected himself, "No! It should be the Alliance Leader!"

In fact, Adriano's quick decision was not due to a momentary impulse.

Rather, it was his belief in Zhao Hai's potential that led him to say that back in the Navy Headquarters, Ade was certain Zhao Hai could become a Navy Headquarters Admiral.
