The true identity of this terrifying king who suddenly appeared in the North Sea, could he be from the holy land of Mary Geoise... No, if you think about it carefully, Pangu City is even a possibility!

The bandits were wiped out and he gained the support of the people. He committed heinous crimes but nothing happened. This shocked all the officials in Beihai. From then on, Li Zhong achieved real power in Beihai.

It is precisely with this foundation that the task entrusted by Li Zhong to Vinsmoke Judge has the possibility of being carried out.

After explaining everything to Vinsmoke Judge, Li Zhong set sail on the Black Sail Wind Chime, his first warship since coming to this world, intending to head to Upside Down Mountain and head for the Grand Line.

But he was stopped by Lieutenant General He.

She brought the latest instructions from the World Government, which stated that Li Zhong did not need to take the Grand Line.

They will send a special boat to pick you up.

Li Zhong had been in the North Sea for a few months, and he had almost turned the North Sea into his own territory, out of the control of the World Government! How could they let Li Zhong wander around the Grand Line on his own?

God knows what the Grand Line will look like after he makes a full circle!

The World Government likes Li Zhong's ability to kill pirates very much. It is much better than those useless navy officers who fight pirates every year but only get more and more pirates.

But if possible, they really don't want Li Zhong to take any further action, because the cost to the world government is too high!

The terrifying popular prestige that Li Zhong has gained alone makes the world government feel worried!

It would be fine if Li Zhong was just an ordinary navy officer. The World Government has plenty of ways to kill him when he is dead, and could let him die "accidentally" if necessary.

So they didn't take it too seriously at first, and were even happy about the appearance of Li Zhong. But things were different after the appearance of Parasitic String. Li Zhong had the ability to overturn the table with the World Government!

At least the World Government now believes that Li Zhong has this ability.

So we must be cautious, cautious, and cautious again regarding the matter of Li Zhong!

We can't give him any chance to increase his chips even a little bit!

Chapter 321 Li Zhong Meets the General

"If we don't take the Upside Down Mountain to enter the Grand Line, then where should we go?"

"We don't have to take the land route and walk from the Red Earth Continent to the Holy Land of Mary Joa, do we?" Li Zhong asked with a frown.

"I told you that a ship would come to pick you up... That's the navy's latest technology. Some seastone is attached to the bottom of the ship, and it's powered by mechanical power, so it can cross the doldrums." Vice Admiral Tsuru explained.

As mentioned before, the structure of this world is very strange.

The Red Earth Continent is the only continuous continent in the world. The Red Earth Continent and the Grand Route are like two intertwined rings, cutting the world into four petals in a cross shape. These four petals are the four seas.

According to the geographical structure, the people of the Four Seas should be able to enter the Grand Route directly, but in reality, the only way for the people of the Four Seas to enter the Grand Route is through the Upside-Down Mountain.

The reason lies in the strips on both sides of the Grand Line, which sandwich the entire Grand Line. There is no wind or current in this sea area, and the entire sea surface is absolutely calm. Most pirate ships are sailing ships powered by wind. Once a sailing ship enters here, it will lose power and be trapped, unable to move.

This dangerous sea area that is almost impossible for pirates to navigate is the Calm Belt.

Moreover, there are a large number of super-giant sea kings living in the doldrums, which increases its danger.

...By the way, the Navy’s largest prison, Impel Down, is on the edge of the Calm Belt!

Seastone is known as the essence of the sea. Inlaying processed seastone on the bottom of a ship in a specific way can make the ship exude the scent of the sea, thereby shielding the senses of giant sea kings and allowing the ship to safely pass through the doldrums.

In order to prevent Li Zhong from causing any trouble on the road this time, the Five Elders decided to take the Calm Belt route and bring Li Zhong to Marijoa.

And they also took out double insurance for this voyage!

Originally, the World Government had some trust in Vice Admiral Tsuru, but after the White Town incident that happened around Vice Admiral Tsuru, Li Zhong, the World Government's trust in Vice Admiral Tsuru was greatly reduced.

This time, Vice Admiral He went to see Li Zhong not only to tell him about the World Government's arrangements, but also to say goodbye to Li Zhong.

The World Government issues a directive to end all of Hak's efforts to get Lee Jong to come to her faction.

He had no aversion to this. After spending some time together, she understood very clearly that Li Zhong was not someone she could control.

Letting him come to his faction would only result in disaster.

Their temple is too small to accommodate Li Zhong's "big Buddha"!

Of course, Vice Admiral Tsuru’s giving up doesn’t mean the Navy has given up.

In the eyes of the navy, even without mentioning Li Zhong’s combat power, his ability to search the world on a large scale is too important for the navy!

When hunting pirates on the sea, the biggest problem the navy faces is not that they can't beat them, but that they can't find them.

There are very few pirates like Big Mom and Whitebeard who make the navy think twice before taking action.

This ocean is too big. Even if the public reports seeing pirates, by the time the navy sends forces over, the pirates will have already run away. The ocean is so vast that it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find them again.

But with Li Zhong, it’s different. After clearing out ordinary pirates on a large scale, they can concentrate their strength to deal with those ‘sea emperors’!

As long as the World Government continues to behave inhumanely and the world's resources are still limited, it will be difficult to eliminate pirates.

But at least they have hope of ending the Great Pirate Era!

Therefore, the Navy will never give up on Li Zhong unless the situation absolutely does not allow it!

What's more, although Li Zhong is far away in Beihai and has never been to the Naval Headquarters, a large number of Li Zhong's fans have appeared in the Naval Headquarters and he has won the favor of many high-ranking naval officials!

There are mainly three types of fans and supporters.

The first one, needless to say, is from Beihai.

Li Zhong made their hometown clear and bright, and accomplished the feat of 'No Thieves in the North Sea', which naturally earned his favor from them.

Second, there is the hawkish group of the navy, led by the new admiral, Akainu Sakaski.

Being a sailor is not an easy job. It is a profession that requires you to fight with pirates frequently!

Even if you are an admiral, you might die young because of fighting pirates.

If it is just for fame, fortune and status, as long as your identity is clean enough, being an agent for the World Government is actually a better way out. However, there are still many geniuses joining the Navy, and one of the important reasons is.

In this era of rampant pirates, too many people have been harmed by pirates!

Parents, brothers, sisters... those broken corpses often wander in their dreams. Some hatred can only be washed away with blood!

In the eyes of this group of people, no matter what your reason for going to sea is, as long as you are a pirate, you deserve to die!

Li Zhong was killing a lot in the North Sea, and the heads of the pirates who were sent for bounty alone were counted in tons.

I don't know how many of the minions who had no bounty were killed.

It can be said without exaggeration that the number of pirates killed by Li Zhong in these few months is more than many naval generals have seen in their entire lives!

In the eyes of these hawkish navy officers, Li Zhong is simply the chosen person sent by God to them to carry out the changes of the times!

As for the third category, they are those people in the navy who have experienced all kinds of frustrating things. Although they work for the World Government, they dislike the World Government.

Although the World Government has been suppressing the flow of relevant information, those who are well-informed have still learned some fragments about the White Town.

Of course, they only knew some fragmented intelligence, such as the fact that the World Government was going to do nothing in the North Sea again, and as a result, two CP0s and a group of government officials were sacrificed on the spot.

Instead of punishing the instigator, the World Government issued a notice praising Li Zhong for his contribution in eliminating pirates in the North Sea.

Although they didn't know how Li Zhong did it, he made the World Government suffer a heavy price when they did evil. Everyone saw it and remembered it in their hearts.

A grand celebration was impossible, and these angry sailors could only secretly open a few more bottles of champagne after get off work.

In fact, they had also heard rumors about Li Zhong in Beihai, but they did not believe them. Beihai was far away from the holy land of Mary Joa, so the intelligence they obtained was limited.

But the Navy Headquarters and the Holy Land of Marijoa are very close.

The fact that the castle where one of the Five Elder Stars, Saint Satan, lived was destroyed by Saint Satan himself in anger was also known to well-informed people...after all, the noise was too loud and difficult to cover up.

If Li Zhong was from a holy land, there would be no need for the Five Elders to be so excited.

There is no need...

In order to prevent any accidents on the way to pick up Li Zhong and bring him to the holy land of Marijoa, a navy 'admiral' was specially dispatched to guard against them!

……

In the North Sea, on Li Zhong's black sail Wind Chime, the World Government's designated 'escort' personnel extended their friendly hands.

"Hello, I'm Zefa." A sturdy middle-aged man with short purple hair smiled friendly.

Li Zhong held his hand.

"Hello, I am Li Zhong, a captain of the Beihai Navy."

Chapter 322 A true hero makes friends through fisting!

Nowadays, Li Zhong’s identity as a navy is his least important identity, but when he first met Admiral Zefa, he was willing to call himself a navy. What he wanted to express was naturally self-evident.

Hearing Li Zhong's self-introduction, the curve of Zefa's mouth changed from friendly to cordial.

"It's a bit low and not worthy of your contribution to world peace." Zefa said with a smile.

"Old Edward said that the next step would be to go back and get promoted," Li Zhong continued.

Old Edward was the first navy officer Li Zhong met when he came to this world. He was also his guide on the road to the navy. In the early days of Li Zhong's career, Old Edward was really busy and helped a lot.

After discussing with old Edward, Li Zhong felt that there was no need to rush into his promotion.

"Go back and get promoted again... That's true." Zefa nodded.

Although they are both naval officers, the officers at Sihai and the officers at the headquarters are of two completely different levels.

Not to mention the power of the first level, just based on strength, the brigadier general of Sihai may not be able to defeat even the stronger captain of the headquarters!

Therefore, the Navy Headquarters has never looked down upon Sihai's officers. In their eyes, they are just Sihai's own entertainment.

Even if Li Zhong achieved the rank of lieutenant general in the North Sea, he was still looked down upon by the Navy Headquarters. Of course, they would not have any opinion on Li Zhong himself. Li Zhong captured Doflamingo and cleaned up the North Sea. Both in terms of strength and achievements, he could gain respect from everyone, but his military rank... haha.

It would be better to go to the headquarters, consolidate the achievements made in the North Sea, and get promoted directly in the headquarters.

With what Li Zhong has done so far, his position as a lieutenant general in the headquarters is basically stable.

The importance of Li Zhong to the Navy has been stated before. In addition to the mission arranged by the World Government to "keep an eye on Li Zhong and prevent him from causing trouble", Zefa's visit this time also represents the Navy to win over Li Zhong. They know that Li Zhong wants to develop in the direction of science.

But being a scientist and being a sailor are not conflicting things.

Just like Vegapunk, he works for the World Government while also having a laboratory in the Navy.

We can refer to the old story of Vegapunk, and when Li Zhong doesn't have any experiments on hand, an admiral will come and invite Li Zhong to go on a tour of the Grand Line or the four seas, search the world, and clean up the pirates.

Li Zhong also did not want to give up his relationship with the Navy. After all, the Navy was one of the most powerful armed organizations in the world with great power. Establishing good relations with the Navy would make many of his plans go smoothly.

As both parties were interested in making friends, Li Zhong and Zefa had a very pleasant conversation.

The two talked about many things.

There were matters concerning official business, such as how to deal with Li Zhong's Black Sail Wind Chime.

Li Zhong said he did not want to abandon his old car.

This is actually simple. There is no wind in the calm belt, and sailboats like the Black Sail Wind Chime cannot move at all. But doesn’t the warship that Zefa brought have a power device? He just needs to let Zefa’s ship pull his own ship.

As for the problem that the bottom of the Black Sail Wind Chime was not inlaid with processed seastone, which could be sensed by the giant sea kings...

Just sense it if you can. Li Zhong’s current strength is not enough to defeat the three admirals, the marshal, and the pirate emperor, but it is still easy to deal with giant sea kings.

Once the Shattered Dream Killing Prison was activated, the parasitic strings would directly pierce into the brain of the giant sea king and churn it around, without even any bloody smell emanating to attract other giant sea kings.

There are also personal matters. For example, after the navy obtained Li Zhong's "New Six Styles" practice method, they encountered various difficulties and problems in practice. Zefa, who was in charge of this aspect in the navy, summarized these problems.

As for those things that he couldn't handle, he asked them bluntly when facing the real person.

In interpersonal communication, the most important thing is give and take.

It is necessary for both parties to continuously provide value to each other, so that such a relationship can last long.

Whether it is emotional or interest-based, there must be interaction.

If you cannot gain favor from the other party at the moment, it is better to give your own favor to the other party first.

When the other person needs you, the opportunity to deepen the relationship will come, and there will be no deliberate traces left.

Today, Zefa asked Li Zhong questions about the new six styles, which was equivalent to owing Li Zhong a favor.

When Li Zhong gets into trouble in the future, Zefa, or the navy, can help Li Zhong in the name of "repaying a favor."

They can help a little more, so that instead of them owing Li Zhong, Li Zhong owes them.

Pull and tug, with just the right amount of tension and relaxation.

Generally, a pretty good relationship can be established.

If it cannot be established, there are generally two situations.

One is that this person is heartless and not worthy of close friendship.

One is that the gap between your and the other party’s level is too big and you can’t reach them.
