Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

"Boya Hancock."

Kalifa smiled, winked at Chika, and then left, leaving the office to Chika and Hancock.

As soon as Kalifa left, Hancock immediately reverted to her girlish self, lowering her head, crossing her arms, and involuntarily moving closer to Chiga.

Qianhe knew exactly what she was thinking, so he led her to sit on the sofa and let her sit on his lap.

Hancock wriggled a few times in Chiga's arms, then quieted down, nestled gently against Chiga's chest like a docile kitten. No one would guess that she was the proud, peacock-like pirate empress.

Chiga reached out and tapped Hancock's forehead with her finger, and whispered,

"You can stay with Kalifa for the next few days. Her room is very close to me. Just come and find me if you need anything."

Hancock was initially reluctant to live with Kalifa, but her eyes lit up when she heard what came next, and she quickly nodded.

"I will follow Lord Qianhe's arrangements."

After a moment of tenderness, Chiga, remembering the war a few days later, gave him some instructions.

"When the battle begins, don't engage in direct conflict with Whitebeard and his crew. With your strength, you should be more than capable of dealing with a few division commanders."

Chiga said this because she was afraid that Hancock might fight too hard on the battlefield because of her, or even directly challenge the Four Emperors, which would be dangerous.

Hancock knew that Chiga cared about her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She said softly,

"I don't care about the Navy or the Four Emperors, I only listen to Lord Senga!"

Chiga was in a great mood because of Hancock's obedience. He lowered his head and gently kissed Hancock's luscious red lips, instantly turning Hancock into a steam princess again.

The temperature in the office seemed to be gradually rising when Kalifa suddenly pushed the door open and walked in again.

Upon seeing Kalifa, Hancock immediately straightened up from Chiga's embrace, her face cold and aloof.

If Kalifa hadn't noticed the two lingering blushes on her face, she would have been truly intimidated by her imposing presence.

Kalifa chuckled inwardly, but maintained a serious expression as she reported to Chiga.

"Boss, Marshal Zhan Guo wants you to go to the conference room for a meeting."

Chiga nodded, telling Hancock to stay there with Kalifa for a while, and then got up to attend the meeting.

Because of Chiga, Kalifa wasn't afraid of Hancock. She smiled at Hancock in a very friendly way, ignoring the aloof expression on Hancock's face, and sat down next to her.

Hancock frowned. In her eyes, there were only two kinds of people in the world: Chika and everyone else.

She disliked Kalifa's approach, but remembering what Chika had said before leaving, she held back.

Kalifa also learned about Hancock's personality through Chiga. As Chiga's favorite secretary, she naturally had to learn how to handle the relationships with the women around Chiga, so she began to have casual conversations with Hancock.

"Hancock, the boss really likes you. He even went out of his way to pick you up."

Kalifa's approach was very clever; she knew that if she wanted to communicate with Hancock, Chiga was an unavoidable topic.

Just as she had expected, upon hearing this, Hancock's lips curled into a smug smile, and she hummed twice.

Seeing the significant effect, Kalifa immediately launched a strong offensive.

"Hancock, the boss said you're known as the most beautiful woman in the world, and now it seems that the title is truly well-deserved!"

"Hancock, the boss said you are very understanding and easy to get along with!"

"Hancock, the boss said..."

The repeated "The boss said" made Hancock's smile grow even brighter, and her guard gradually lowered. She said softly,

Did Lord Chiga really say those things?

Kalifa smiled slightly, thinking to herself, "You've finally spoken. That makes things much easier!"

So, the two women began a long discussion about Chiga in the office...

In the headquarters conference room,

Sengoku sat at the head of the long table, with Tsuru sitting to his right and Sengoku to his left.

This seat previously belonged to Garp, but since the topic of this meeting was closely related to Chiga, Sengoku gave him the seat.

Karp didn't seem to care about any of that. He stood there with his arms crossed, looking serious, a stark contrast to his previous nonchalant attitude at the meeting. This was because the matter at hand was far too important!

The Navy going to war with the Four Emperors is a momentous event that could change history, and even he dares not ignore it.

The Warring States period surveyed the assembled crowd and said in a deep voice,

"Today's meeting is mainly to discuss specific matters concerning the war. This time, our enemy is all the Four Emperors' companies, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes!"

Everyone nodded solemnly, and Sengoku continued,

"Whitebeard's abilities will be troublesome. Kuzan, your abilities are crucial. You must be constantly aware of the tsunami he triggers!"

Aokiji responded, but his gaze unconsciously drifted to Chiga, thinking to himself that this guy's abilities were far more terrifying than his own, and whether he would even get a chance to make a move was another matter!

Sengoku looked at Akainu and said,

"Big has a monstrous physique, and it's difficult for ordinary attacks to break through his defenses. He's in your hands now. Your Magma-Magma Fruit is arguably the most destructive Logia-type fruit."

(That's exactly what the official information says.)

Akainu adjusted his hat and said in a very firm tone,

"give it to me!"

Akainu's professional skills were always what Sengoku trusted most, so he didn't say much, then looked at Kizaru.

“Kaido has the ability to fly, Borsalino, you are responsible for keeping Kaido occupied.”

Compared to Akainu, Sengoku's request for Kizaru sounded much simpler: he only wanted to restrain him, and he didn't really expect Kizaru to go up and fight Kaido to the death.

But this time, Sengoku misjudged Kizaru; he seemed particularly concerned and spoke up directly.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep an eye on him!"

Kizaru's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Sengoku. Not only him, but the other generals also looked at Kizaru strangely, wondering why this guy was acting so unusually today.

However, Kizaru's performance was ultimately good, and Sengoku gave Kizaru an approving look.

Kizaru shrugged, his face returning to that smug expression.

Chapter 252 Big Mom and Kaido

After Sengoku finished arranging the other three generals, his gaze finally fell on Chiga beside him.

Everyone else looked at Chiga as well. Everyone knew that Chiga was the real trump card in this war.

While the three admirals can certainly hold their own against the Four Emperors, defeating them is virtually impossible; they would need the help of Garp and Sengoku.

However, the Four Emperors' crews are not just four people; their subordinates are also a force to be reckoned with. In comparison, the Navy's vice admirals seem somewhat insignificant.

Therefore, Chiga, whose strength far surpassed that of the three generals, was the decisive force in this war.

Before Sengoku could speak, Chiga spoke up directly.

"Kuzan just needs to control the situation; I can handle Whitebeard and Shanks alone."

These words, coupled with the purple light flashing in Chiga's Rinnegan, meant that no one thought Chiga was being arrogant. They knew that Chiga's strength was absolutely worthy of his words.

Even Akainu had no objection to this. Chiga's record was obvious, not to mention that Shanks was Chiga's defeated opponent.

Next, let's see who is truly the strongest: the "world's strongest man" or the "strongest admiral in the navy."

Chiga's gaze swept over the three generals; he wanted to see who else wanted to be an actor in this Marineford War.

Chiga took a closer look at Kizaru and discovered that this admiral, who always took clocking in and out for work as his motto, actually looked eager to try.

Presumably, with his nephew not around, Kizaru's long-dormant sense of justice was rekindled.

Now that all four admirals representing the highest combat power of the navy have expressed their opinions, Sengoku showed a gratified smile and then made arrangements for the remaining officers of the Four Emperors' crews.

These officers were dealt with by the Seven Warlords and Issho. In Chiga's opinion, Issho alone was enough to handle an entire Yonko crew's officers, and with Yamato and the others, taking them down shouldn't be difficult.

Moreover, there was also Garp present, who was assigned by Sengoku to a position similar to "jungler" to save the day.

After explaining everything, Zhan Guo slammed his hand on the table, stared at everyone in the meeting room, and said in a deep voice,

"Gentlemen, this war is destined to be recorded in history. I firmly believe that our navy will be the final victor, and justice will prevail!"

Upon hearing the last four words, the naval officers were all jolted. They recalled the dreams they had held when they joined the navy as passionate young men, and immediately rose from their seats, unanimously saluting Sengoku.

"Justice will prevail!"

Akainu shouted the loudest; he even took off his hat and slammed it on the table, leaving Kizaru, who was standing next to him, completely stunned.

Fortunately, Akainu didn't get excited and transform into an elemental being this time. He was still wearing a new navy coat today because the previous one had been burned to shreds by Akainu during Issho's test.

Aokiji kept looking at Chiga. He hadn't forgotten what Chiga had said in Alabasta, and just thinking about it made him feel terrified.

After the meeting, Aokiji specifically sought out Chiga alone and said in a low voice,

"If the Four Emperors are completely defeated this time, what will you do next?"

Chiga understood what Aokiji meant; he wanted to know if he would take action against the World Government after defeating the Four Queens.

However, now is not the time to talk about this, because it depends on whether Im can hold back. If he doesn't take action, Chiga will naturally not directly turn against the World Government.

For Chiga, naturally, the longer the development period, the better.

So Chiga didn't answer Aokiji directly, but just smiled and said,

"What should I do? Of course, I'll continue being a navy officer. You're too tense."

After saying that, Chika patted Aokiji on the shoulder and turned to leave, leaving Aokiji completely bewildered.

Ghost Island

Kaido's territory welcomed a VIP guest today. She was voluptuous and wore a pink dress covered with red circular patterns.

She is one of the Four Emperors, known as Charlotte Linlin.

She came to Onigashima today to discuss with Kaido the matter of fighting the Navy, and she also brought most of the children with her.

Katakuri, the strongest member, did not come along; he had to stay behind on Whole Cake Island to prevent anyone from raiding their base.

The relationships between the Four Emperors also vary in terms of familiarity. Because of Roger, Whitebeard and Shanks are more familiar with each other.

Big Mom and Kaido's relationship stems from a small incident that happened on Rocks' ship years ago. In fact, Kaido's Devil Fruit was given to him by Big Mom, though it's unclear whether Kaido paid a price for it.
