Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

boom!

A circular wave formed by repulsive force erupted from the depths of the sea, instantly displacing the seawater around Chiga's body. Those sea kings that couldn't escape in time were directly transformed into huge chunks of flesh under the impact of this repulsive force.

Deeper beneath Chiga lies Fishman Island, enclosed by a semi-circular bubble membrane shield.

King Neptune, Jinbe, and a group of Fishman Island residents who came to welcome Chika were eagerly waiting in the streets.

Neptune had been waiting here for a long time. In order to welcome Chiga, he even sent some marine creatures to roam outside Fishman Island so that they could get the news of Chiga's arrival as soon as possible.

But there's still no movement, which is making him anxious. He couldn't help but look at Jinbe and say...

"Jinbe, will that General Shirin come again?"

Jinbe was also uncertain, after all, Chiga's status was too prominent, and even if he changed his mind at the last minute, there was nothing he could do.

Faced with Neptune's question, Jinbe opened his mouth somewhat awkwardly, as if he wanted to say something.

Suddenly, a terrifying wave swept across the island, whipping up a violent gale that knocked many mermaids and fishmen to the ground.

Even Jinbe stretched out a thick arm to shield his eyes, while he was filled with doubt. How could such a strong wind suddenly blow in Fishman Island, a place that is usually windless?

Fortunately, the strong wind did not last long. After it dissipated, everyone got up from the ground, and Jinbe slowly lowered the arm that had been blocking his eyes.

But once they calmed down a bit, they realized something was wrong, because they actually felt a warmth, and this warmth came from the sunlight!

Chapter 174 Arrival at Fishman Island

Just like the people on Fishman Island, all the marines on the Rokudo Rinne stared wide-eyed at the endless semi-circular crater that had suddenly appeared where Chiga had disappeared.

Even Kalifa, who was familiar with Chiga's abilities, was so astonished by this miraculous sight that her glasses slipped off her face.

Under Chiga's Super Shinra Tensei, the surrounding seawater was pushed aside by the repulsive force, and it slid towards the depths of the circular pit, causing the warship to slide down to the seabed as well.

At the center of the bottom of the pit, the Fishman Island, which was originally surrounded by bubbles 10,000 meters below the sea, was now exposed to the sunlight.

After doing all this, Chiga's body transformed into a bolt of lightning and returned to the deck of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the next second.

Ignoring the stunned gazes of the crowd, Qianhe had anticipated their reaction. He stretched out a hand and made a grasping motion in the air, causing the entire warship to float up and arrive above Fishman Island.

Releasing his grip, the warship began to slowly descend towards Fishman Island.

Fishman Island,

King Neptune and Jinbe stared blankly at the warship descending towards Fishman Island, their heads tilted back.

Many foreign ships have come to Fishman Island, but this is the first time they have seen one appear like this.

Especially for Jinbe, Chiga's actions once again refreshed his understanding of Chiga's strength, and his awe of Chiga reached its peak.

Everyone watched as the warship gently landed like a balloon. After the warship landed, the seawater above Fishman Island seemed to receive some kind of signal and slowly closed up.

A large number of naval officers and soldiers disembarked from the warship and lined up neatly on the street, forming a pedestrian walkway.

Not a single soldier glanced at the mermaids or fish-men, a sight rarely seen by ordinary people. Instead, they all stared intently at the exit of the warship, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

Driven by this atmosphere, the people of Fishman Island dared not even breathe loudly, and could only subconsciously follow the soldiers and look in the same direction.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, a tall figure draped in the coat of justice appeared—it was Chiga.

Kalifa and Ain followed closely behind him. As soon as they disembarked, the two women saw King Neptune, who appeared enormous in the crowd.

Chiga searched through the crowd and, as he expected, the mermaid princess Shirahoshi was not among the welcoming party.

According to the anime's storyline, she is currently hiding inside the Hard Shell Tower from the attacks of Vander Decken, the user of the Target-Target Fruit.

Upon seeing Chika, Neptune and the others recognized him as their target: Admiral Shirin!

Before Neptune could react, Jinbe, the blue chubby guy, beat him to the punch and stood in front of Chiga, saying excitedly,

"General Zilin! Thank you so much for visiting Fishman Island. We have been waiting for you here for quite some time!"

Jinbe was extremely respectful, believing that Chiga's arrival would bring immeasurable benefits to Fishman Island.

Chiga smiled at Jinbe and said,

"Jinbe, isn't this a bit too much of a show of force?"

"It's not a big deal at all; they're all really looking forward to your arrival!"

Chiga didn't speak. His gaze swept over the welcoming mermaids and fish-people. Under the Rinnegan's gaze, many people unconsciously lowered their heads.

However, some stubborn fishmen craned their necks and stared directly at Chiga's Rinnegan, their eyes filled with undisguised disgust, but even more so with fear.

These fishmen were clearly a gang, and Chiga recognized the leader—Hody Jones, the captain of the new Fishman Pirates that appeared later in the anime. He looked much younger than in the anime.

Standing next to him were the fish-man minions from the anime, but Chiga wasn't interested in their strength at all, so he didn't even bother to remember their names.

Noticing the gazes of the fishmen, Qianhe snorted disdainfully, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Hody Jones and the fishmen minions beside him.

boom!

The fishmen suddenly knelt down, the ground beneath their feet cracking, and blood gushing from their legs filled the fissures.

Fishmen are indeed much stronger than ordinary people, and the amount of bleeding they bleed is quite frightening.

However, this was not the end. The pressure continued to intensify, and Hody Jones and the others were now pressed tightly against the ground in a "T" shape, looking as disheveled as could be.

The onlookers, unaware of what was going on, quickly kept their distance from the fishmen. Hody Jones and his gang were usually fierce and menacing, and were not popular with most of the fishman island's residents. For a moment, no one went forward to check on the situation.

Jinbe and Neptune knew that it was Hody and the others' attitude that had displeased Chiga, so they quickly apologized to Chiga, without making any attempt to excuse Hody and the others.

Chiga was not an unreasonable person; he taught Hody and his radical followers a lesson precisely because he disliked them.

Furthermore, the fact that they dared to look at him with such reckless eyes made Chiga reluctant to start a major conflict here, had it not been for the sincere attitude of Neptune and the majority of the merfolk.

In another location, these people would have been crushed into pieces like fish cakes by Qianhe's oppressive aura long ago.

Even though Chiga spared their lives, these guys are now lying unconscious on the ground, and can only rely on others to scoop them up and send them back to Fishman Street.

Speaking of Fishman Street, that's a place Chiga is focusing on dealing with this time, because most of the voices against humanity come from there.

If Hody behaves himself when he returns, that's fine. But if he tries to incite a fishman rebellion, that's exactly what Chiga wants, and he can wipe out all these radicals in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Chiga waved to Neptune and Jinbe to show that he was not angry, and then turned his attention to the three princes following behind Neptune.

They are Shark Star, Emperor Star, and Overturned Star.

These three brothers, despite being Shirahoshi's older brothers, look completely different from her. Chiga speculates that they might have taken after their father, Neptune, while Shirahoshi resembled her mother, Queen Otohime.

The three princes were still young, and they couldn't help but feel nervous under Chiga's scrutiny. They wondered if they had done something to displease this distinguished guest.

However, they never expected that this incredibly distinguished guest in their hearts would only complain that their art style was different from that of their sister, Shirahoshi.

Gathering her scattered thoughts, Chiga remembered the main reason she had come: the ancient weapon Poseidon.

He looked at King Neptune and asked,

"Besides these three princes, I heard that His Majesty Neptune has a little princess. Why isn't she here?"

Chapter 175 First Encounter with Shirahoshi

Upon hearing Chiga's question, King Neptune's expression changed. He thought Chiga was unhappy that he hadn't brought Shirahoshi along.

Imagining the consequences of displeasing Chiga, Neptune felt a surge of fear.

If he was still not very familiar with Chiga's power before, after witnessing the scene of the ocean splitting and warships descending from the sky, he no longer dared to doubt Chiga's strength in the slightest.

He was genuinely afraid that if Chiga got angry, she would cause Fishman Island to disappear from the world completely. At that point, all the beautiful wishes of peaceful coexistence with humans would be meaningless. What use are wishes if people are gone?

Neptune quickly explained,

"General Zilin is referring to Shirahoshi, right? She's been locked onto by Vander Duncan IX's Target-Target Fruit ability. As soon as she leaves the Hard Shell Tower, she's attacked by all sorts of flying weapons. It's definitely not my intention to prevent her from seeing you!"

Looking at the nervous Neptune, Chiga knew he was overthinking it and couldn't help but wonder if she was really that scary.

Most people he encountered treated him with extreme caution, as if he were some kind of ferocious beast.

He considers himself a champion of justice, a Marine Admiral, for goodness' sake!

Shaking his head, Qianhe feigned surprise and asked,

"Didn't you try to find this guy named Vander Duncan?"

At this point, Neptune gave a bitter smile and said,

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh. The Target-Target Fruit's ability is too bizarre. Anyone he touches will be permanently locked onto by Vander Duncan. He can hide anywhere and launch an attack. We simply can't find him."

"Really? Heh, that's quite a terrifying ability."

Chiga sighed with feigned seriousness, and then said,

“Then take me to where Princess Shirahoshi lives. Maybe I have a way to deal with this guy named Vander Duncan.”

"Nani!?"

Neptune's eyes widened in disbelief; he hadn't expected that General Zilin would go out of his way to rid his daughter of this trouble that had plagued them for years.

Jinbe, standing to the side, was deeply moved. He now truly felt that being able to speak with Chiga at the Marine Headquarters meeting was the wisest decision he had ever made.

Chiga gave a polite smile, then turned to Kalifa and said,

"Kalifa, you go to Dragon Palace with Ain to rest for a while. I'll go and help them deal with this trouble."

Carly was pleased and immediately turned around to lead a group of marines to Ryugu Castle as Chiga had instructed.

Chiga followed Neptune and Jinbe to the Hard Shell Tower used to protect Shirahoshi.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the Hard Shell Tower, what comes into view is an axe and sword embedded in the entire gate.

The three stood at the entrance for a while. Neptune was about to speak, pointing at the weapons, when suddenly another whooshing sound came, and a sharp axe flew over, spinning.

However, this axe was destined never to reach the door.

With just a casual glance, Chiga caused the axe to explode into a pile of dust in the air.

Seeing this, Neptune swallowed the words he wanted to say, once again marveling at Chiga's formidable abilities.

He learned from Jinbe that this General Zilin possessed more than one Devil Fruit ability, but that wasn't even the most terrifying thing about him.

What's even more terrifying than his powerful Devil Fruit abilities is his Rinnegan. It's said that a deep purple giant resides within those Rinnegan, and a single blow from that giant is enough to shatter mountains and seas.

Chiga glanced in the direction the axe had come from, but did nothing more. Neptune quickly stepped forward to explain.

“General Zilin, the attack just now was launched by Vander Duncan, and his target was not you.”
