Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Chiga shrugged, neither confirming nor denying the matter.

He observed Aokiji's condition and found that he was fine. After all, he was a user of the Ice-Ice Fruit and would not suffer from frostbite. Chiga then gave up the idea of ​​inflicting the Ishigami on Aokiji.

Then, he opened the doorway and released Robin.

Robin, who emerged from the portal, didn't say anything, but her eyes conveyed to Chiga that she wanted to say the same thing as Aokiji.

Aokiji's reaction upon seeing Robin was quite intense. What was the point of his fight with Chiga if not to let Robin take the opportunity to escape? And yet, she herself brought her back!

Thinking about how he almost got killed, Aokiji was truly on the verge of tears.

He couldn't help but look at Chiga, somewhat uneasy about how Chiga would handle Robin.

Ignoring Aokiji's anxious look, Chiga crossed his arms and said to Robin,

"Kuzan finally gave you a chance to escape, and you came back on your own? Do you really think I won't catch you?"

Aokiji was momentarily embarrassed by Chiga's blunt words. He hadn't expected that Chiga had seen through his little scheme so early on.

However, he was puzzled as to how Chiga knew about his relationship with Robin.

Chika glanced at Aokiji and thought to herself, even if I haven't watched the anime, just from your reaction when you saw Robin in the office, anyone can tell that you care about Robin a lot, okay?

This time, Robin didn't avoid the question. She mustered her courage and met Chiga's Rinnegan gaze, but her trembling voice betrayed her inner nervousness.

"I want to know why you said that just now. Do you mean to...?"

Robin was referring to Chiga's undisguised disgust for the World Government earlier; she wanted to understand this man who was excessively young yet possessed absolute power.

She was a smart woman and knew that Aokiji was present, so she did not repeat what Chiga had said to avoid causing him unnecessary trouble.

After all, Chiga had just saved her life, and his actions in the office had won her favor; otherwise, she wouldn't have risked being arrested to get close to him.

However, her good intentions were clearly wasted, because Chiga no longer had any fear of the World Government. The only thing he could fear was the unknown "Otsutsuki" Im.

Im will only let Chiga go and will never interfere with him before he fully evolves, so what does he have to worry about?

Chiga said directly,

“That’s right, the World Government should not exist anymore, and I will destroy it with my own hands.”

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the most intense reaction came not from Robin, but from Aokiji; he felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

What did he just hear? The most powerful general, Zi Lin, actually threatened to destroy the World Government!?

He quickly thumped his head, fearing that he had been sleeping too much lately and was experiencing auditory hallucinations.

Robin was also stunned. Her big eyes stared unblinkingly at Chiga, all the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.

Chiga had anticipated their reactions. He shrugged and said nonchalantly,

"It's not the right time yet, but it will be soon."

Aokiji couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.

"Are you kidding me?! Chiga, are you crazy?!"

Chiga turned around and said in a calm tone,

“Kuzan, I always do what I say I will do. The World Government is corrupt, and I will end it all.”

Aokiji stared blankly into Chiga's eyes. In those eyes, he saw only an unwavering will. He knew that Chiga was not joking; he was serious.

Logically, the most correct thing for Admiral Aokiji to do after hearing such radical remarks would be to immediately arrest Chiga.

However, when faced with Chiga's Rinnegan, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He knew that in front of those eyes, his power as a Marine Admiral was practically a joke.

Chika looked at Aokiji, whose face was ashen, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

Aokiji looked up and met Chiga's gaze blankly. Robin, standing beside him, also kept her eyes glued to Chiga, both waiting for her to say something next.

Chiga began to speak.

“Kuzan, I don’t want to say much about the World Government. You don’t need to think that going against them is going against justice. They don’t represent justice. You can spread my words all you want, I won’t stop you.”

Aokiji's expression was complicated. He stared at Sengoku for a while, and finally lowered his head helplessly, letting out a heavy sigh.

Chapter 228 Bringing Robin into the Navy

After Chiga finished speaking, he didn't say anything more to Aokiji, because he knew Aokiji's character and knew he wouldn't betray him.

Moreover, Chiga is no longer afraid of the World Government. He did this to plant a seed in Aokiji's heart in advance, and it will naturally sprout when the time is right.

Chiga then looked at Robin, whose gaze was still somewhat dazed; she hadn't yet recovered from Chiga's words.

Qianhe waved his hand in front of her face, and after she calmed down a bit, he said...

"You shouldn't stay here any longer. What are your plans?"

Robin pursed his lips and asked tentatively,

"I wonder what General Zilin wants me to do?"

After confirming Chiga's attitude towards the World Government, Robin felt a strange sense of trust in him. After asking this question, she looked at Chiga with anticipation, wanting to see how he would arrange things for her.

Aokiji, who was still struggling with his decision, subconsciously looked up at Chiga, for this was equally important to him.

Under the expectant gazes of the two, Qianhe smiled and said,

"You can join the navy with me, it just depends on whether you dare to."

"......!?"

Upon hearing this, Aokiji was completely bewildered. He thought to himself, "No matter how much you hate the World Government, don't blatantly provoke them like this!"

Just as he was about to say something, Robin spoke up directly.

"Alright! I'll go with General Zilin!"

"......"

Aokiji felt his head buzzing; he couldn't understand these people's thought processes at all.

Seeing Robin's quick agreement, Chiga smiled and extended his hand to her.

"Welcome to the Navy, Robin, the Devil Child!"

Seeing Chiga's outstretched hand, Robin's face lit up with a bright smile, and she grasped Chiga's hand tightly without hesitation.

At that moment, she felt a sense of security she had never experienced before. Gazing into Chihiro's Rinnegan, she whispered...

"Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from now on!"

"Owner?"

Chiga was taken aback by Robin's address. Among the women he knew, some called him boss, sir, and others called him by his name, but none of them called him master.

Oh, Medici calls him master, but she's a little black cat!

The title "master" always made him feel strange, as if he had become some kind of villain with a wicked sense of humor.

Seeing Chihiro's reaction, Robin couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She explained,

"From now on, my life is in your hands. Whether I live or die is up to you. Calling you master gives me a little sense of security, in case you change your mind."

Robin's explanation was reasonable enough, but Chiga still emphasized the point about "changing one's mind."

"The word 'go back on your word' doesn't exist in the Uchiha dictionary, and a person who breaks their promise doesn't deserve to have these eyes."

As she spoke, a dazzling purple light shone from Chiga's Rinnegan, as if she were dissatisfied with Robin's doubts about her.

Under the gaze of the Rinnegan, Robin immediately lowered her head and sincerely apologized for her earlier words.

"I'm so sorry, Master, I was overthinking it!"

Chiga didn't make things difficult for Robin. He knew that Robin had had a hard time all these years. Everyone she knew was a treacherous person with ulterior motives towards her, and she had to wander around constantly being betrayed.

Chiga helped Robin up and said softly,

"Alright, you can call me whatever you like. From now on, you'll stay by my side. With me here, no one can hurt you."

Upon hearing Chiga's last words, Robin abruptly raised her head. The impact of those words on her was evident in the tears welling up in her eyes.

Chiga gently patted Robin on the shoulder and was about to turn and leave.

Suddenly, a pair of slender arms wrapped tightly around his waist from behind, and then he felt Robin's entire body pressed against his back.

"Thank you, Master!"

Looking at everything before him, Aokiji felt a sudden pang of sadness.

It wasn't that he was jealous; he had no romantic feelings for Robin. In fact, Robin was more like a daughter he had raised without any real affection for him.

The current situation is like a cabbage that has been raised to maturity being taken by... Chiga, which makes him a little awkward.

Fortunately, Chiga isn't one of those frivolous kids on Earth, otherwise Aokiji would probably have immediately transformed into Akainu and started executing absolute justice.

Chiga waited until Robin calmed down, then gently pulled away the arms that were wrapped around her waist, turned around and tidied the messy hair on Robin's forehead.

This series of actions made Aokiji's lips twitch violently twice. He shouted in his heart,

"You're really good at this! You've mastered this routine like the back of your hand!"

Chiga was completely unaware that he was being relentlessly criticized by Aokiji. He whispered a few words to Robin, and Robin smiled again at his words, albeit with a hint of shyness.

Looking at Robin, who had become like a timid wife in front of her, Chiga couldn't help but think that she was becoming more and more like the Sea King. She just wanted to help these unfortunate girls in the One Piece world!

Robin lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked,

"Master, what do you intend to do with Crocodile and his men?"

Robin's expression was extremely serious, as if she had already entered the role of Kalifa, reminding Chiga of her "official duties".

However, Chiga knew that Robin's cunning side had awakened. She was afraid that she would forget Crocodile, and she obviously wanted to trick him!

Chiga looked at the cunning Robin in front of her speechlessly, thinking to herself, Crocodile, you really have a good employee!

.......

Inside the Baroque Works, a group of executives had already gathered at the entrance, with Crocodile being the last to emerge from his office.

They were carrying all sorts of packages, clearly preparing to flee, but everyone looked soaking wet.

During the battle between Aokiji and Chiga, they were unfortunately frozen first by Aokiji's Hyoga Hell, and then by Chiga's Mahapadma.
