Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Zephyr signaled to Chiga that she could stop, and then began to talk about the last type of Haki: Conqueror's Haki.

"The last type is Conqueror's Haki. I can't teach you this. This type of Haki is different from the other two; it's a special kind of Haki that only specific individuals with the qualities of a king can possess."

Speaking of Conqueror's Haki, Zephyr felt a little regretful. He hadn't awakened it yet, and it seemed he would never awaken it in this lifetime.

Chiga felt that Zephyr's lack of Conqueror's Haki might be related to his "non-killing" justice. "Non-killing" was too merciful and far removed from "conqueror's" power.

As for whether he would awaken Conqueror's Haki in the future, Chiga wasn't too concerned. First of all, he didn't believe he could be stunned by Conqueror's Haki. If he really was stunned, he would rather find a way to pack up and go back to the East Blue to plant orange trees.

Even though Conqueror's Haki can be used to enhance attacks by binding the user, and it was once considered the best solution in the game, his own Rinnegan was a bug that was outside the game's meta.

His Rinnegan is not yet fully developed, but he already has many powerful attack methods. He is not lacking in the so-called Conqueror's Haki. When his Rinnegan is fully evolved, and he eventually enters the Six Paths Mode, he can use a Truth-Seeking Ball to deal with all kinds of fancy tricks.

After demonstrating the two types of domineering auras, Zefa taught Qianhe the specific training methods, instructing him not to rush things and injure his body before picking up his coat and leaving gracefully.

"Zeff, the back of your coat is so dirty!" Chiga shouted at Zephyr, who had already walked some distance away.

Zefa stumbled, glared at Qianhe, dusted off his clothes, and vanished instantly.

"Hahaha! You're clearly overweight, yet you try to act tough! You think you can bully me just because I don't have a coat to flaunt?"

Chiga was in high spirits and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After laughing, Chika recalled Zephyr's guidance and favoritism over the past few months, and felt moved. He looked in the direction Zephyr had left, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Don't worry, Professor Zephyr, there are some things I won't let appear in this world again."

Chapter 24 Armament Haki Enhancement and Hegemony

Recalling the domineering cultivation techniques taught by Zephyr, Chiga tried to guide this so-called latent power within her body.

Having studied at Ryuchi-dong for two and a half years, Chiga is extremely adept at sensing the power of herself and nature.

Slowly, a layer of black covered Chiga's hands and wrists.

Looking at his jet-black hands, Chiga clearly felt an increase in power. In his current state, even without entering Sage Mode, he could unleash the power of Sage Mode.

But Chiga wasn't satisfied. There were still some things he hadn't tried, namely chakra and natural energy!

"What would happen if I entered Sage Mode and used Sage Chakra, which combines natural energy and chakra, to enhance Armament Haki?"

Thinking of this, Chiga activated Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode, and purple eyeshadow appeared at the corner of his eyes.

Chiga tried to inject the Sage Chakra within her body into her hands, which were covered in Armament Haki. However, as the Sage Chakra was injected, Chiga felt a sharp pain in her hands, as if they were about to split open.

Large beads of sweat rolled down Chiga's face. Chiga was about to give up and stopped channeling Sage Chakra.

Chiga felt that she was being too hasty. After all, everything should be done step by step, and strengthening her hands was still too much for someone who was just starting out with Armament Haki.

After a short while, when the pain subsided slightly, Chiga continued to inject Sage Chakra, this time only into his right hand, which he usually used.

Although the injection process is still somewhat painful, because it is only done with one hand, he can perform it more precisely and effectively.

Slowly, the jet-black Armament Haki covering his right hand began to converge towards the center of the back of his hand. Chiga's Rinnegan shone brightly with purple light, and he let out a low shout.

"Armament Haki, Sublimation!"

The next moment, Chiga's entire right hand was filled with Armament Haki, which finally turned into a black circular pattern, like a black sun.

Looking at the circular pattern on the back of her hand, Chiga murmured to herself,

"The sublimated Armament Haki is stored here. It is another heart that provides me with power, so I call it the Overlord Heart."

With a thought, five thick black lines radiated from the circular pattern on the back of his hand toward the tips of Chiga's five fingers.

The five thick black lines were like five black blood vessels, continuously channeling a destructive force into Chiga's entire right hand.

"drink!"

Chiga clenched his fist and punched the air. The moment he threw the punch, the circular pattern on the back of his hand seemed to contract and expand suddenly, as if a heart was beating, and the five thick black lines also bulged.

A fist-shaped shockwave appeared and blasted towards a small hill in the distance.

boom! !

With a loud bang, the hill, which was tens of meters high, was instantly leveled, and rocks flew everywhere.

Chiga was quite satisfied with the power of her attack, but looking at the noticeably smaller Haki on her arm, she still felt there was something missing, thinking to herself,

"It's just that the consumption of Haki is a bit too severe. With the Armament Haki I just mastered, I can't use it as a basic attack yet."

After thinking about the attack pattern of this punch again, Chiga thought of Kaguya's Eighty Gods Vacuum Strike.

Although there is still a difference in power, Chiga still shamelessly named this move "God's Sky Strike," which is a youthful version of the Eighty God's Sky Strike.

Of course, it will be upgraded to the flagship version sooner or later!

With the initial success of Armament Haki sublimation, Chiga also deactivated Sage Mode, and the pattern on his hand disappeared.

The moment things returned to normal, a wave of exhaustion washed over him. Chika shook his head, used the power of the Heavenly Path to float up, and then slowly flew towards his dormitory.

……

"Chiga-sama, you're back!"

Chiga opened the dormitory door, looked at Bridge, whose face was covered in bruises, and asked in confusion,

"Bridge, what happened to your face? Did some older students hit you?"

"Haha, I was just joking around with Greifuss and accidentally bumped into the table. Oh well, what can I do? I'm just unlucky!"

Groves, cigar in hand, walked over, put his arm around Bridge, and grinned as he whispered in Bridge's ear...

"You were so careless! How about a cigar? It'll help ease the pain!"

Bridge gave a smile that looked more like a grimace and quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, I don't like smoking cigars, and I won't smoke them anymore."

"No, come on, let me light it for you, don't be shy! We're like family!"

"No, no, Fosge, I really can't!"

"Huh? You're not giving me face? Light it up!"

"Okay, okay, have one then!"

What are you doing sticking your head out like that?

"Weren't you going to light it for me?"

"I'm telling you to light it for me!"

……

These two clowns! Qianhe shook his head helplessly, walked to his bedside, and found that the blankets and everything else had already been folded.

Wow, what a thoughtful roommate! If this were on Earth, Qianhe would definitely be awarded the title of "good son".

Chiga sat down comfortably on the bed, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 25 The Upcoming Year-End Assessment

"Chiga-kun, this is the bento I prepared for you!"

On her way from the dormitory to the training ground, Chiga was "ambushed".

Smiling, he took the lunchbox from a female student. As soon as Qianhe accepted it, the female student covered her face and ran away before Qianhe could say anything.

After the female student left, Qianhe opened the doorway and put the bento box in her hand inside. Looking at the various bento boxes and gifts that took up a large space, Qianhe rubbed her temples, trying to figure out how much Bridge and the other two could still eat.

Just as I was about to close the door, another female student carrying a lunchbox walked towards me.

This time, it was an acquaintance who came – Ai Yin, whom Chiga had met on the playground.

Ai Yin glanced at the doorway that Qian He hadn't closed yet, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. She placed the bento box behind her and teased Qian He, "..."

"You're quite popular, Chiga-kun. Looks like I'm late?"

When Chiga saw it was Ai Yin, his smile vanished, and he put on a "wronged" expression as he looked at her.

"I didn't want to either. Ever since I fought with Smoker, I feel like I've become a celebrity."

After saying that, he reached out his hand to Ayn ​​again.

Ai Yin looked at him strangely, wondering what he was up to now.

"The bento box you made looks good. I haven't eaten yet, so why don't you give it to me?"

Chihiro noticed Ayn's previous expressions and actions. He admired this strong-willed girl and naturally didn't want to upset her.

Ayn was clearly at a loss.

"Hey, but you still have so many bento boxes..."

“I don’t know any of those people, so I don’t dare to eat them. I feel safe eating yours.”

Seeing that Ai Yin was still standing there in a daze, Qian He snatched the bento box from her hand and ran off in a flash, a voice echoing in the distance.

"Bring it to you!"

Watching Qianhe's figure leave until it disappeared from sight, Ai Yin smiled, like a blooming magnolia flower.

……

After today's training session ended, Zefa did not immediately announce the disbandment, but instead left all the trainees behind to announce a message.

"Your first year of training is about to end. Next month we will have the year-end assessment. This year-end assessment will be a practical assessment. The top three students will receive rewards such as Devil Fruits and Great Swords."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the students.

Everyone is mentally prepared for the year-end assessment, so it's not surprising. The key is the reward: the top three can actually get Devil Fruits or Great Grade Swords.

What are Devil Fruits? It can be said that eating a Devil Fruit is the fastest way in the world to increase a person's strength. Moreover, eating a powerful Devil Fruit can even allow an ordinary soldier to rise to the top in one step!

There are also great swords, which are a more tempting reward than a Devil Fruit for students specializing in swordsmanship. Which swordsman doesn't dream of owning a great sword as his weapon?

Everyone looked eager, secretly vowing to get second or third place. As for first place? Wasn't that reserved for Uchiha Chika? Everyone took it for granted that first place already belonged to Chika, including Zephyr.

Zephyr had anticipated the reactions of the crowd. There were rewards in previous years, but none this outrageous. Even for the Navy, treasures like Devil Fruits and Great Grade Swords were not commonplace.

After thinking it over, I can only think of one possibility: that Sengoku is trying to find a way to reward Uchiha Chika.

Over the past few months, Chiga's repeated amazing performances have made the old man Sengoku restless. Coupled with the relationship between Gion and Tsuru, Sengoku has completely regarded Chiga as the next great general.
