Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: Domineering Haki

October 1518, after the Death of the giant, Roger seemed deeply moved. He told Zhou Ning that he recalled someone once invited him to rule the world together, but he felt that if a pirate couldn't freely do what he wanted, what was the point of being a pirate? This giant must have had the same idea. Life is certainly important, but to some, spirit, loyalty, and freedom are of greater value.

Zhou Ning fell silent after hearing this. If Zhou Ning were in the giant's shoes, would Zhou Ning have done the same? Originally, Zhou Ning definitely wouldn't have, but now... Zhou Ning wasn't sure.

Late October 1518, the next few days seemed calm, but soon after, Zhou Ning discovered that the giant who escaped that day, along with 36 members of the Long-Armed Pirate Crew, had all been captured. By order of a Celestial Dragon named Charloss, these 37 people were all hanged in the square of Sabaody Archipelago, the reason being that they infringed upon the private property of a Celestial Dragon. Looking at the shadowy figures hanging in the square, Zhou Ning felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

February 1519, Zhou Ning was finally promoted to Marineford Rear Admiral, continuing to guard Sabaody Archipelago.

March - October 1519, after years of training, Zhou Ning's Armament Haki finally advanced further. According to Roger, although he didn't remember exactly how strong it was, it wouldn't be weak. This simpleton. Zhou Ning acquired the skill: Armament Haki (Intermediate).

December 3, 1519, the Celestial Dragon Charloss once again came to Sabaody Archipelago. But when he arrived at Area 1, because a small boy walked in front of him, he believed this human boy had defiled his path, and immediately shot the boy to Death with a gun. Afterward, he also shot the boy's parents who were crying over the corpse. Zhou Ning was too far away and could only witness all of this happen. Zhou Ning felt this completely violated Zhou Ning's bottom line of values.

December 4, 1519, perhaps sensing Zhou Ning's mood, Zhou Ning's former superior and now friend, Strawberry, told Zhou Ning that Celestial Dragons are World Nobles, descendants of the creators, and enjoy all privileges. Even shooting civilians is within the law. This is an unavoidable matter.

December 6, 1519, "Mad Monk" Urouge, captain of the On Air Pirates, landed on Sabaody Archipelago and had a battle with Killer the Massacre Soldier in Area 40. Zhou Ning personally handled this matter. As a result, both of them were thoroughly defeated by Zhou Ning alone, and could only flee in disarray under the cover of their companions. Through these battles, Zhou Ning initially judged that Zhou Ning's strength should now have reached or even exceeded Vice Admiral level. Roger told Zhou Ning that thanks to Zhou Ning's help, his soul had recovered a lot, and he now had the ability to temporarily help Zhou Ning fight through Zhou Ning's body. At this moment, Zhou Ning couldn't help but tear up; the Old Grandpa was finally useful!

December 12, 1519. Late that night, Zhou Ning, who had prepared for an entire week, quietly walked out of the Marine base. Zhou Ning infiltrated the Celestial Dragon's temporary residence and brought out Charloss. Zhou Ning didn't give him any chance to beg for mercy, shooting him to Death on the roadside with the flintlock pistol in Zhou Ning's arms, and then throwing him into the sea, just like that little boy that day. Sir, times have changed! After doing all this, Zhou Ning felt relieved, Zhou Ning's thoughts cleared. Zhou Ning's Old Grandpa Roger very solemnly told Zhou Ning that he had just seen astonishing spirit in Zhou Ning, just like he once possessed. Zhou Ning acquired the skill: Conqueror's Haki (Intermediate).

December 12, 1519, Zhou Ning rushed overnight to the Sabaody Archipelago dock and found the ship Zhou Ning had prepared in advance. As Zhou Ning boarded the ship and set sail, Zhou Ning's colleagues also arrived at the dock, holding flintlock pistols and lining the way to send him off. Facing his enthusiastic former colleagues, Zhou Ning also friendly released Conqueror's Haki. Instantly, Zhou Ning's colleagues fell down in swathes like mown wheat. Zhou Ning's old superior, Strawberry, arrived late. Although he was far away, Zhou Ning could still see his complex gaze.

December 13, 1519, the next morning Kizaru intercepted Zhou Ning at sea. After all, Sabaody Archipelago is near Marineford. Roger temporarily took over Zhou Ning's body. With Roger's help, Kizaru was beaten a few times and fled in disarray. After the final move, God Avoidance, the entire sea surface was split in two by the surging sword light. Perhaps due to the weakness after using his power, Roger fell into a deep sleep. Although Zhou Ning did not personally participate in the battle, Zhou Ning gained many insights into swordsmanship. Zhou Ning acquired the skill: Swordsmanship (Intermediate).

December 14, 1519, the Death of the Celestial Dragon caused a sensation across the four seas. Everyone was shocked by Zhou Ning's audacity. Besides the World Destroyer Shiki who had killed a Celestial Dragon 28 years ago, Zhou Ning was the first person to dare to do such a thing. And Shiki was imprisoned in Impel Down for that crime, still frozen on the sixth level to this day. But that afternoon, when the news of Kizaru's defeat spread across the four seas via news birds, it caused a very eerie silence. Such a Supernova with Admiral-level combat power, unexpectedly stood against the Marines again because of a Celestial Dragon. The last one like this was Garp's son, Dragon.

December 17, 1519, Zhou Ning saw Zhou Ning's bounty: 1 billion Berries, and Admirals Aokiji and Akainu were personally responsible for pursuing Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning was also the first person in history to have such a high initial bounty and treatment.

December 19, 1519, Zhou Ning arrived at Jaya Island. This was the escape route Zhou Ning found for himself, to go to Skypiea via Jaya Island's special weather phenomenon, the Knock Up Stream. That was a good hiding place, and Eneru was also a good helper.

December 20, 1519, the next Knock Up Stream was in two days, but just then, Akainu and Aokiji found Zhou Ning. Although Roger woke up in time, he still couldn't contend with the combined efforts of Aokiji and Akainu.

Zhou Ning died.

Simulation ended.

Summary: A short but extraordinary life. Zhou Ning dared to draw a sword against privilege and dared to help the weak. This is something most transmigrators find very difficult to do. In the final battle, Zhou Ning almost defeated Akainu and Aokiji, and Akainu was even severely wounded and died as a result. Although Zhou Ning's actions this time were somewhat reckless and perhaps not entirely worth it, Zhou Ning still showed the entire sea Zhou Ning's spirit.

Rating: B, World Exploration: 49.5%. Since the exploration rate is greater than 40%, Zhou Ning received a reward of 6 Transmigration Coins. Zhou Ning slightly changed the historical process of "across the four seas" and received a reward of 6 Transmigration Coins. Please keep up the good work!

Simulation ended, please make a choice as soon as possible, Host.

One, randomly acquire three skills and specialties obtained during Zhou Ning's transmigration process.

Two, randomly draw three items obtained during Zhou Ning's transmigration process.

Zhou Ning:... Zhou Ning did want to be reckless, but wasn't this a bit too reckless? Even daring to kill a Celestial Dragon, truly worthy of me!

To be honest, it felt quite good. Zhou Ning would dare to do it again next time!

As for the options, choosing two would grant a Devil Fruit. But choosing one would most likely grant Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki, which would be much more beneficial than two.

Zhou Ning chose the first option without hesitation.

Zhou Ning chose Option One.

Zhou Ning acquired the general skill: Evasion.

Zhou Ning acquired the skill: Conqueror's Haki (Intermediate).

Zhou Ning acquired the skill: Observation Haki (Elementary).
