Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

However, this is also good. Talented people should be valued, and we should do our best to help them grow. Doing these things after they have grown up is just adding icing on the cake.

Zephyr is undoubtedly a traditional and upright naval officer, but this does not mean that Zephyr is pedantic. After experiencing the murder of his wife and children, Zephyr's views have gradually changed.

It's worth noting that when Chiga joined the Navy, he squeezed all the pirates of the Brand Pirates into a black ball, which completely contradicted his principle of not killing.

In the past, he would definitely have had some prejudice against Chiga, but now, he has no emotional fluctuations at all and even silently supports Chiga's actions in his heart. He also teaches Chiga everything he knows.

Zephyr believes that Chiga will definitely become a Marine Admiral or even higher in the future. He has already stepped down from his post and is watching Chiga grow. He has a long-lost sense of accomplishment. Now, Zephyr regards Chiga as a source of hope.

Chiga was also very excited at this moment. He didn't need the Great Grade Sword for the time being, but the Devil Fruit would greatly enhance his abilities.

Since absorbing the Door-Door Fruit, Chiga hasn't encountered any new abilities to absorb. This Devil Fruit as a reward is likely to be quite good, enough to unlock the second tomoe of the Rinnegan.

With each tomoe activated, the power of the Rinnegan would increase. Chiga had a premonition that when he had three tomoe, his Rinnegan would be able to unlock exclusive skills like Madara's Limbo or Sasuke's Amenotejikara.

He was ambushed by Orochimaru, which caused him to overdraw his eye power as soon as he opened his Rinnegan. It has always been Chiga's regret that he was unable to develop his own unique skills. He must get the Devil Fruit this time!

Chapter 26 A Visit to Gion, the Pretty Boy Chika?

In the following days, Qianhe helped his roommates train, and in the afternoons he would go to the wasteland behind the mountain to hone his domineering aura.

After unleashing twelve Divine Sky Strikes in one go, Chiga lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily.

The Divine Sky Strike is currently Chiga's strongest single-target physical attack. With less than a week until the assessment, he has already reached the point where he can unleash twelve strikes.

"That's enough. No one in this year's class can withstand a punch like that. Besides, the Divine Sky Strike is delivered with Haki, so even a Logia-type user couldn't withstand it."

Lying on the ground, Qianhe thought about his current training results and felt that he was more than capable of handling this assessment. So he got up, dusted himself off, and prepared to return to the dormitory early.

I had just gotten up when I saw Bridge rushing towards me, shouting as she ran.

"Boss Qianhe, a beautiful female military officer is looking for you!"

Chiga was taken aback and asked,

"A beautiful female military officer?"

"Yes, she said her name is Gion!"

Well, it turns out it was Gion, whom he hadn't seen for almost a year. Chiga thought that Gion-nee would only come to see him when he graduated.

However, since they were already there, Chiga couldn't keep them waiting.

He grabbed Bridge, and before Bridge could even react, he found himself airborne, letting out a scream.

"Chiga-sama! You'd better hurry up, I haven't mastered Moonwalk yet!!"

……

After landing smoothly and leaving the exhausted Bridge aside, Chiga immediately spotted Gion standing at the dormitory gate.

Gion also saw Chiga descending from the sky. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but she put on a slightly angry expression and hurried towards Chiga in her high heels.

Standing in front of Chiga, Gion pinched Chiga's ear, brought her face close to Chiga's ear, and said in feigned anger,

"Chika, you're such a busy person! I've been waiting for you here for ages, you know?"

Ignoring the ear that Gion had in her hands, Chiga spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Gion-nee, I rushed here as fast as I could when I received the news that you were coming to see me. You've wronged me."

Gion glanced at Bridge, who was sprawled on the ground with her eyes rolling back, and finally couldn't keep up the act any longer. She composed herself, released Chiga's ear, looked intently at Chiga's face, and whispered...

"Long time no see, little brother Chika."

Chika smiled slightly and opened her arms.

"Long time no see, Gion-nee."

However, when Gion saw Chiga's actions, she remembered the hug she had with him when they parted last time. Her face turned red, she glared at Chiga, and stood there with her arms crossed, not moving.

Chiga stood there in that pose, looking somewhat comical. She quickly lowered her arms, raised her hand to touch her nose, and tried to cover up her slight embarrassment.

Gion tapped Chiga's forehead with her finger and said with a smile,

"Wasn't that hug last time enough? Don't forget what I told you. Once you graduate and achieve your goals, I'll grant you one request."

Chiga said that she had not forgotten and was constantly striving for it.

Seeing Chiga's determined expression, Gion covered her mouth and chuckled, then pinched Chiga's cheek before getting down to business.

"Sister He said you're going to have your year-end performance review. The top three will get pretty good rewards. How about it, are you confident?"

Chiga shrugged indifferently.

"We are determined to win."

Seeing how pretentious he was, Gion pinched his cheeks harder.

"Wow, you're quite confident. I'll be there to watch this live too, so I hope I don't make a fool of myself."

Chiga's expression remained unchanged as she continued,

"I've already decided what reward I want: a Devil Fruit."

"Devil Fruit? What do you need this for? Do you even need it for your weird abilities? You won't be able to swim if you eat this."

Gion felt that Chiga was really not suited to eating Devil Fruits and emphasized the disadvantages of Devil Fruits to him.

"Don't worry, Gion-nee, I know what I'm doing. Besides, I don't want a Devil Fruit to eat. My eyes still have some defects, and the power of a Devil Fruit can not only repair them, but also allow them to evolve again."

Hearing this, Gion looked incredulous. She thought Chiga's eyes were already abnormal enough, with all sorts of new abilities, not to mention the ability to fly, which made many people envious. But now, according to Chiga, those eyes have a defect and can even evolve.

After examining Chiga's Rinnegan, Gion noticed an extra tomoe in Chiga's right eye.

"Is the pattern in your right eye related to the evolution you mentioned? Is it caused by a Devil Fruit?"

Chiga nodded. He didn't mind this, and besides, Gion was someone close to him, so there was nothing wrong with telling her.

Gion digested the information she had received. After all, the idea of ​​using the power of a Devil Fruit to evolve one's eyes was rather unbelievable, and it didn't mean that Chiga could possess the power of more than one Devil Fruit.

Of course, the fact that Chiga was able to tell her this news showed that he truly trusted her, and Gion was overjoyed about that.

"Stop thinking about unnecessary things," Gion said, looking at Chiga.

"So you really need a Devil Fruit, right?"

"Yes, and the Devil Fruit's power can't be too weak."

Chiga never believed that there were no bad Devil Fruits, only bad Devil Fruit users. If a Devil Fruit is bad, then it is bad. Can a regular Zoan type compare to a Mythical Zoan type?

For example, the String-String Fruit looks very powerful in Doflamingo's hands, but that's because the person is strong. You see, if an ordinary person ate the String-String Fruit, they would probably only be able to work on a sewing machine.

If Doflamingo had eaten a slightly more powerful Devil Fruit, even one of his subordinates like the Snow-Snow Fruit, he wouldn't have been eliminated so quickly and ended up as a newspaper reader in prison.

Gion nodded slightly. She hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit because she primarily focused on swordsmanship and felt there wasn't a suitable one for her. However, since Chiga needed it, she naturally wanted to help him.

"Okay, I understand. Sister Tsuru has a few, all of which are recorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. You can pick a few yourself after you graduate."

"?"

Chiga was genuinely stunned. Pick a few? Listen to what a human being says! So Gion is a little rich woman? What am I then? A gigolo? I never thought I'd be a gigolo one day!

But, it's so fragrant!

Chapter 27 Roommate

Gion went back.

She hadn't even greeted Tsuru when she returned this time; she rushed to find Chiga as soon as she got off the ship. Of course, she couldn't possibly tell Chiga about this.

When Chiga returned to her dorm and opened the door, she saw three pairs of eyes staring straight at her.

"You're back, Boss Chiga!"

"Who was that beautiful female officer just now? Can you tell us, brothers?"

"Yes, yes, it's truly eye-opening! Those female soldiers are no match for them!"

"..."

Chiga casually explained Gion's identity, and the three beasts started making a ruckus again.

"What? A vice admiral? My god, he looks so young!"

"Wow, Boss Qianhe actually knows such a beautiful female military officer, as expected of you!"

"Brother Qianhe, what's your relationship with her? Should we call her 'sister-in-law' next time we see her?"

"Brother Qianhe, have a cigar. A friend of mine wants to know if your wife has any sisters or anything like that?"

Chiga stared speechlessly at the obsequious Groves, then suddenly thought of something amusing. He nodded seriously and said,

"Yeah, she really does have an older sister, who is not only a prostitute, but also single!"

"What?!" Groves's mouth was practically watering. He turned around and pulled out a large box of cigars from under the bed, making Bridge's eyes widen in disbelief.

Greifs handed a large box of cigars to Chiga, rubbed his hands together, and leaned closer to her, asking,

"Um... Brother Chiga, I was thinking, uh, no, my friend has been single for many years and he's eager to find a soulmate. Do you think you could introduce him to someone? Don't worry! If this works out, I'll definitely give you a whole box of rare cigars!"

Chika patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly,

"Don't worry! I've got your back!"

"Chiga-sama!" Gleforth was so moved by Chiga that he almost wanted to acknowledge him as his father on the spot.

Bridge, seeing this, also came over.

“Greeves, actually I also have a younger sister, you see…”

"Get lost! Go look in the mirror first!" Groves looked at Bridge's short stature and hands the size of a washbasin with disgust.

"Pah! What kind of taste is that?" Bridge was taken aback, jumped onto his bed with his hands in his pockets, and remained silent. There was nothing he could do; he couldn't win!

Binz didn't seem to care much; he was currently wriggling his body in front of a potted cactus, creating a rather cringe-worthy scene.

The cactus in the pot swelled as he twisted it, and its thorns became increasingly sharp. This was Binz's Abundant Fruit ability, which allowed him to manipulate nearby plants and accelerate their growth.

However, this ability seems to be activated by twisting the body, and the faster the twist, the stronger the ability. Chiga doesn't know if every user of the Lush Fruit has to activate it in this way, but Chiga thought with a wicked sense of humor that if a socially awkward person ate the Lush Fruit, they probably wouldn't activate the ability even if they were beaten to death in front of everyone.

Binz was sweating profusely from twisting, so he stopped and sat down to rest.

Chiga walked to his side and asked,
