Chapter 7: The Devil Fruit that Zhao Feng Desires.

After a month, Zhao Feng finally arrived at the Grand Line.

The journey was not entirely smooth as Zhao Feng chose to fly with Whity over the Calm Belt where there are no winds, and they got lost several times during this month.

Finally, he managed to cross the Sea Desert, as he chose to call the Calm Belt. It was a hellish place if you entered it without preparations.

In the Grand Line, Zhao Feng quickly made a name for himself.

This time, due to some unexpected factors, he had to become a pirate instead of a bounty hunter.

His first reward was 270 Million Belly after he destroyed a navy fleet headed by a Vice-Admiral!

This incident shook the first part of the Grand Line, known as Paradise, and caused tremendous instability in the Navy's headquarters.

...

1522, from the sea calendar, the Great Era of Pirates.

The first navy fortress known as Marineford, where the greatest force against pirates in this world lies.

Here, every year, thousands of soldiers are trained to sacrifice their lives in order to protect the weak.

Similarly, some thieves and villains also disguise themselves as justice. Anyway, in any world there are righteous and wicked.

...

..

Boom!

"How is Gion doing, Mark?" Sengoku's voice echoed in the navy hospital, he was the fleet admiral.

"She's getting better, sir. She has second-degree burns and a broken right arm, but she will be fine after a month of treatment," the navy doctor, named Mark, described the condition of the vice admiral Moumousagi, who was considered a substitute for the admiral because of her strong swordship skills.

Unfortunately, in her last raid against pirates, she collided with a flaming steel plate and nearly lost her life in a battle that caused the destruction of her fleet.

In that battle, the navy lost five warships that aimed to eliminate a pirates island led by a sub-admiral.

In paradise, this level of power was certainly sufficient for the mission to succeed.

But who would have thought that when the five warships began to bombard the island, a tall man emerged from a sea of flames and destroyed everything on the horizon, like a deadly beast.

With angry eyes full of malice, he caused a massacre among the navy soldiers and officers, and vice admiral Momousagi barely managed to stand up to him and protect the retreat of her soldiers.

Beside Gion's bed, sat the Great Staff Officer, Tsuru, who was her older sister.

Without even looking at her, Sengoku knew she was very angry.

"Tsuru-chan... Borsalino has already gone after the culprit, he won't be able to escape even if he had wings." Sengoku spoke in a deep voice.

In this turbulent time, Sengoku was already accustomed to losing his subordinates in battles against pirates, but this time he had to lose a sub-admiral in this weak part of the Grand Line. As a wise fleet admiral, this was a disgrace for him.

"I'm not angry, Sengoku... Everything is expected from pirates. When Gion chose to carry the sword, she knew that she would face death someday. I just think it's too early for her to face such a monster. Sigh... she was unlucky," said Tsuru sadly as she looked at Gion's beautiful white face, which had suffered minor burns.

"From the information we have about him, it turns out he's a famous bounty hunter in the South Blue, the flaming metal fist, Patrick... Who would have expected this person to enter the Grand Line and have such power? We underestimated him," Sengoku said as he looked at the document in his hand with a picture of Zhao Feng as Patrick.

"It turns out he has the Flame Fruit. Since the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas D. Ace, ate the Logia Flame Fruit, it's safe to assume that this Patrick guy ate the Flame Fruit of "Paramecia" or some kind of mythical Zoan," he continued.

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway, since Kizaru is after him, he'll definitely be thrown into Impel Down..." As soon as he said that, Sengoku tore up the wanted poster of Zhao Feng. It's clear that he's very confident in Kizaru.

After all, he was an Admiral of the Navy, their strongest force.

...

At the same time, in a desert island, Zhao Feng was wearing a cloak with a hood and sitting in a bar in the city of Rainbase, in Alabasta.

This city is known for being the capital of luxury and gambling, even though the entire kingdom has been suffering from drought and poverty for years, this city still represents a gem on this island.

As if it didn't exist in the same kingdom as the rest of the cities.

"Damn the Marines, because of them Whity died..." Zhao Feng thought sadly, the magnificent falcon who lived with him for years died in random shelling by the Marines.

Zhao Feng didn't go on a rampage and kill hundreds of Marines for no reason, at that moment he wanted only one thing, to destroy their entire fleet and vent his anger.

After burying the White Falcon and killing all the pirates on the island who the marine attacked the island because of them, Zhao Feng took a random pirate ship and set sail on the rough sea.

Alabasta was the closest island indicated by the log pose, so he stopped here temporarily... after all, he knew that the Marines were after him because of what he did against them a few days ago.

"Maybe they'll send an admiral... getting a Logia fruit from an admiral is also not a bad idea."

As an 8-rank Martial Master, Zhao Feng was not afraid of anyone.

Yes, in the previous battle against the Marines, Zhao Feng had already broken through to the next stage of the Martial Master in the Consolidated Realm.

The power that was raging in his body at the moment was enough to pierce the sky.

...

..

"I wonder what the recently appeared criminal is doing in my base?"

Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind Zhao Feng.

He turned around to see a tall man with a wide chest, broad shoulders, and a long-stitched scar at the bridge of his nose that stretched across his face. The man's left hand was replaced with a large hook made from a tough gold alloy.

Standing beside him was a tall, beautiful woman in formal attire and a cowboy hat.

"And who are you?" Although he already knew they were Crocodile and Robin, Zhao Feng wasn't really interested in their small scheme. He had come here by chance.

Wait... isn't this woman Nico Robin? One of the best waifus for him in his previous life as Frenky? Why was he acting as if he didn't care?

Finally, Zhao Feng began to realize that his personality had been greatly influenced by the personality of his previous body's owner.

Suddenly, a sandstorm appeared and swept everything in the bar, attacking directly towards Zhao Feng without warning.
