Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

Standing in the crowd, Zhao Hai shrugged at Ade, looking helpless.

Zhao Hai was completely baffled as to why Ade had suddenly pulled him aside to say that something important was going on.

Everyone's in the same boat, and Zhao Hai also pays attention to the daily newspapers.

He simply couldn't understand what strange or unusual things this mysterious Ade could possibly be doing.

"Clap!"

When Zhao Hai asked, Ade clapped his hands loudly.

As Ade raised his hands, the members of the first team straightened their chests and their expressions became serious.

"Hehe... Did they drag me out so early in the morning for a military inspection?"

"But there are only a few people in total, why would they need to be checked?"

Watching the performance of the first team members, Zhao Hai seemed to realize something, and his interest waned.

However, Zhao Hai didn't want to dampen the team members' enthusiasm, so he maintained a solemn demeanor as he surveyed the surroundings.

But when Zhao Hai's gaze swept over Ade, he didn't give him the slightest friendly look.

A barrage of piercing gazes bombarded Ade, but to Zhao Hai's surprise, this usually invincible tactic against Ade was now completely ineffective.

Moreover, Ade responded to Zhao Hai's "bombardment" with a smile.

"What's going on?"

"Does Ade intend to rebel and replace me as the leader of the alliance?"

"But he doesn't have the ability!"

Looking at this bizarre scene before him, Zhao Hai's mind raced.

"Hahaha……"

Just as Zhao Hai was concentrating on his thoughts, a loud laugh suddenly rang out.

"Oh!"

Then, a buzzing sound was heard in the air, and a figure landed heavily beside Zhao Hai.

"Gary!"

Zhao Hai exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the person who had suddenly appeared before him.

However, seeing the smile on Ade's face, Zhao Hai quickly guessed what had happened and then glared at Ade fiercely.

Ade sensed the "fierce glint" in Zhao Hai's eyes and muttered to himself, "Looks like I can't get too cocky in front of the Alliance Leader!"

Upon seeing his friend arrive, Zhao Hai brought Gary to the office, with Ade following closely behind.

"Gary, what brings you here?"

Sitting down in the office recliner, Zhao Hai looked at Gary with a puzzled expression and asked.

Logically speaking, Gary should be practicing swordsmanship with Bogart at Marine Headquarters right now, so how could he possibly have time to come to his warship?

As for the location, Zhao Hai was certain without hesitation that it was Ade who leaked it.

"Let me help you!"

Gary gripped the longsword in his hand.

"help me?"

Zhao Hai looked puzzled.

"Didn't you establish the Freedom Alliance? I want to join you. My goal is to enable people on the world's continents to live in peace!"

Gary looked resolute, as if nothing could stop his decision.

Zhao Hai was not surprised that Gary had such thoughts, after all, he had lived a life of misery in the past.

But the fact that Ade managed to spread the news about their Freedom Alliance so quickly caught Zhao Hai completely off guard.

"Don't worry, Hai-ge, I only told your friends Gary and Coby!"

Sensing the change in Zhao Hai's expression, Ade immediately added.

Ade was also aware of Zhao Hai's earlier plan to form a hidden Free Alliance.

After all, the Freedom Alliance is not yet at a point where it can make its position public.

So Ade only told Gary and Coby, hoping to get help from them.

Zhao Hai was relieved to hear Ade's answer.

He then looked at Gary seriously and said, "We could very well become enemies with the Marine Headquarters and even the World Government. Don't you regret it?"

No regrets!

Gary answered in a strong and clear voice.

He used to think that the Navy Headquarters was the most righteous place.

But recently, I learned from Garp's occasional complaints that the Marine Headquarters is nothing more than a protector of the Celestial Dragons and other nobles.

"it is good!"

Seeing that Gary was not joking at all, Zhao Hai readily agreed.

In fact, Zhao Hai had already planned to win over Gary and Coby long ago.

After all, in the subsequent conflicts between the World Government and various forces, Zhao Hai was definitely on the opposite side.

With Gary joining the team, Zhao Hai appointed him as the captain of the second team.

However, since Gary only came with one person, he is still a lone commander.

Zhao Hai then hosted a three-day grand banquet to welcome Gary to the Freedom Alliance.

Currently, besides Zhao Hai, the Freedom Alliance already has two Devil Fruit users, making them a formidable pirate crew in the first half of the Grand Line.

In order to blend into the atmosphere of pirates roaming the seas, Zhao Hai and his crew transformed their naval warships into pirate ships, and everyone changed into ordinary clothes.

……

Three days later, at dawn.

The entire sea area was covered by layers of thick fog, and even at the highest point, one could only see a radius of about 100 meters.

Everyone was still immersed in the revelry of the previous night's banquet and showed no signs of waking up.

Not far away, a magnificent pirate ship was approaching Zhao Hai and his group.

Through the thick fog, a gentleman in a suit could be seen standing on the ship several kilometers away.

Looking at this man, the first impression he gives is that of a gentle and refined scholar.

However, the groups of burly men around him clearly regarded him as their leader, appearing obsequious and subservient.

It was as if this gentlemanly man was some kind of monstrous beast that devoured living beings; the scene looked rather incongruous.

"Captain, a pirate ship has been spotted ahead!"

Just as the gentleman was about to return to his cabin, a little pirate suddenly ran over and shouted loudly.

"Oh."

The gentleman adjusted his glasses slightly upon hearing this, then glanced at the man wearing a hat beside him: "Zango, go and make the trip!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After receiving the order, Zangao led a group of people in small boats and headed towards Zhao Hai and his men's warship.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hai and his crew on the warship were completely unaware of the enemy's approach.

As time went by, Zango and his group soon arrived at the bottom of the warship.

Looking at the magnificent warship before him, Zango felt a shiver run down his spine.

However, considering the gentlemanly man's methods behind him, Zango still gritted his teeth and touched him.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

In the blink of an eye, several figures appeared at the rear of the warship.

"Go and check on the situation."

Zango waved to the two little pirates beside him.

After receiving their orders, the two young pirates quickly made their way towards the front of the warship.

Zango, meanwhile, waited there with the rest of the group.

"First mate! You can come out now!"

However, just as Zang Gao was waiting for a while and the two did not return, and was preparing to lead his men to retreat, he heard the joyful shouts of the two from the front of the warship.

It's no wonder these two were so happy, because Zhao Hai and the others were all fast asleep on the ground.

The reason they haven't responded to Zango for so long is that they've seized this opportunity to kidnap Zhao Hai and the others.

"withdraw!"

However, Zango was not fooled by this "smokescreen" at all. Upon hearing his two men shout, he led the rest of his men and jumped off the ship.

"Pfft..."

Meanwhile, those on the deck who were eagerly awaiting the arrival of First Mate Zango were met with a series of "plop" sounds as they fell into the water.

"Uh?"

"Are our words really that unconvincing? Do you think we're the kind of people who would betray our comrades without hesitation?"

The two junior pirates, who had been gathering information, exchanged a bewildered glance.

Zhao Hai and the others were also awakened by these sounds, and were dumbfounded when they saw the scene in front of them.

They even forgot about the "imminent danger" situation right in front of them.

"What are you looking at? Don't you know our first mate went over there to call for someone?"

“That’s right! First mate Zango went to call people to take over the ship; he absolutely trusts us!”

The two young pirates looked embarrassed by the strange gazes from Zhao Hai and the others, but they still forced a show of "confidence" in their first mate.
