Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

"This is called the Tenseigan. What? Did you like the previous Rinnegan?"

"No! They're all your eyes anyway, both are beautiful, but... these are a little more beautiful!"

Hancock nodded in agreement. In terms of appearance, the golden Tenseigan was indeed more beautiful than the Rinnegan, like two small suns.

If those businesses see this, they'll be busy again; I just don't know how they'll come up with the golden light effect.

Chapter 385 Gathering

News of Chiga's return quickly spread throughout Marineford.

Female soldiers' training ground

Gion Masashi watched the group of female soldiers training in front of him with a serious expression, and would occasionally reprimand them, making the female soldiers suffer.

Suddenly, Ai Yin jogged up to Gion in her high heels and whispered a few words in her ear.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the female soldiers, Gion's expression instantly brightened, and she excitedly asked,

"Chika is back!?"

Ayn nodded vigorously, her pretty face flushed, looking very cute.

However, in the eyes of these female soldiers, the two were never cute. Gion and Ein were known as "devilish" in Marineford.

Gion was so excited she almost shouted, but she forcibly suppressed her surging emotions. Trying to appear calm, she turned to the group of female soldiers and said...

"That's it for today's training. You're getting a half-day off!"

After saying that, Gion grabbed Ein's hand and disappeared in a flash.

The group of female soldiers were left looking at each other in bewilderment. One of them spoke up in confusion,

"What's wrong with Vice Admiral Momousagi today? I haven't seen her smile in ages!"

"Yeah, she even gave us half a day off! Oh my god, am I dreaming?!"

"Never mind that for now. Didn't you hear what Vice Admiral Momousagi said? She said Chiga is back!"

"Chiga? That name sounds familiar... Wait! That's the king's name!?"

Chiga's status in the pirate world is too high. Since he became king, his name has become a taboo subject, and few people dare to call him by his name directly. It is understandable that these female soldiers did not react at first.

Moreover, Chiga has been missing for more than two years. During this time, not only has his influence not diminished, but his image in people's minds has gradually become mythical. Many veteran naval officers are proud to have met Chiga and wish they could stick this on their foreheads.

These female soldiers had only been in the navy for less than six months. Because of their exceptional talent, they were selected by Gion for personal training.

Their knowledge of Chiga was still limited to legends, and now that they learned of Chiga's return, they were in an uproar.

"The King is back! Good heavens! This means we might finally get to see the King in person!"

"No wonder Vice Admiral Momousagi was acting so strangely. So she went to see the King. I'm so envious. If I could just say one word to the King, I'd run a hundred laps right now!"

Among the crowd, a blonde female soldier with a pair of pure white wings on her back kept her head down and appeared very quiet compared to the others.

Someone patted her on the shoulder and said,

"Connie! What are you daydreaming about? The King is back! Don't you want to see him?"

Connie said somewhat awkwardly,

"We would like to, but given our status, are we qualified to see the King?"

"Of course! Haven't you heard about Vice Admiral Momousagi's relationship with the King? Don't worry, there's definitely a chance!"

"Um....."

Connie nodded silently. Since Qianhe left, the Heavenly Dao Puppet he left behind had completely entered a dormant state.

This terrified Connie, who felt that Chiga was tired of her and had cut off contact with her.

Chika left a very deep impression on her. Even after the Heavenly Path Puppet went into hibernation, she still insisted on playing music in front of the Heavenly Path every day, hoping that he would awaken one day.

This process was truly agonizing for Connie, as her longing for Chiga grew stronger day by day, and she finally decided to go to Aokai to join the Navy.

When she joined the Navy, she didn't mention anything about Chiga, and of course, even if she did, it would be hard for anyone to believe her.

Connie was naturally very happy that Chiga had suddenly returned, but she was also a little apprehensive.

She looked up at the tall, golden statue of Chihiro and murmured.

"Brother Qianhe, do you still remember me?"

Inside the headquarters building,

Kalifa, with her ponytail, hung up the Den Den Mushi, pushed up her glasses, then ripped off her hair tie, letting down her cascading golden hair, and tossed aside the documents on the table as she walked out the door.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Robin leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

Robin had an undisguised smile on her face as she looked at Kalifa and said,

"You know it too?"

Kalifa nodded, a bright smile spreading across her face, and said,

"The boss is back, I need to see him!"

"Then, together?"

"go!"

When the two returned to the palace, they discovered they were the last two to arrive.

Charlia was clinging to Chiga and wouldn't get down, while Hancock smiled helplessly. Gion and Ein sat opposite Chiga, talking about something.

At this moment, Kalifa truly envied Charlia. She took a deep breath, but her voice still trembled slightly.

"boss....."

Chiga looked up at Kalifa and the other woman standing at the entrance of the main hall, a warm smile appearing on his face. His dazzling golden eyes made the two women feel a little dazed.

"You're back? Come on over."

As soon as she finished speaking, Robin remained somewhat reserved, but Kalifa could no longer hold back. She rushed to Chiga's side and sat down on his lap without hesitation.

This scene made Charlia and the others' eyelids twitch. In their impression, Kalifa was always known for her competence and was an absolute career woman.

Since Chiga left, Kalifa has devoted herself entirely to her work to pass the time.

She would never have acted so intimately in front of so many people when she was with Qianhe before, but now she doesn't care about that anymore, she'll just take it first!

Once she realized what was happening, Charllia immediately wanted to assert her dominance, but Kalifa's eyes suddenly flashed with a pink light, and Charllia's expression instantly froze.

She simply leaned against Chihiro's shoulder and didn't move. Chihiro shook Charlia and looked at Kalifa in surprise, asking...

"Kalifa, is this a Devil Fruit ability you developed?"

Kalifa rested her head on Chiga's chest, closed her eyes, and said...

"Yes, it's just a simple form of charm; it won't harm anyone."

"Alright, as expected of a nine-tailed fox, it makes sense for her to possess this ability, but this skill..."

"I've only used it on Charlia because she can be too noisy sometimes, and this helps her calm down."

Everyone else couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Everyone knew Charlia was a complete weakling, but she was also incredibly playful and often became the target of pranks. Every time she got pranked, she would yell...

"You're all bullying me, but you'll be sorry when Qianhe comes back!"

Chiga smiled slightly after hearing this. He habitually touched Charlia's ahoge (a strand of hair sticking up) and said,

"You know, I'll just get you a Devil Fruit to eat!"

Chapter 386 Black Emperor Rocks

The next day, Kalifa accompanied Chiga as they strolled around Marineford.

On the way, many navy personnel were initially taken aback when they saw Chiga, but then they were all incredibly excited. Fortunately, most of them were military personnel, so there was no situation of them frantically "chasing stars".

Chiga asked Kalifa about the current situation at sea.

On the high seas today, the Navy is undoubtedly the number one power, a force in its own right, with the remaining forces being the pirates, whose power has diminished considerably.

Chiga was quite surprised by this. In his opinion, with the Navy so strong, how many pirates would dare to cause trouble?

During the Marineford War, even the Four Emperors' crews were defeated by the Navy. Don't these people have any self-awareness?

Kalifa's explanation for this is,

"Boss, Blackbeard has reappeared less than a year after you left. He calls himself Rocks and is extremely powerful. We sent people to surround and kill him several times, but we failed to capture him. Instead, he used the opportunity to increase his prestige and attracted a large number of pirates to follow him."

Chiga frowned. He was absolutely certain that Blackbeard was dead and that he had even absorbed the Dark-Dark Fruit.

He pressed on,

"Blackbeard? You mean the Blackbeard who defected from the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Yes, he no longer uses that title; he now uses Black Emperor."

"Black Emperor... Heh."

Chiga's eyes shone even brighter as he narrowed them.

He never expected that after he left, one fish would slip through the net and cause trouble on his turf.

Chiga doesn't care whether this guy is called Teach or Rocks. If he can kill him once, he can kill him a second time. There's only one outcome for him: death.

Kalifa was arguably one of the people who knew Chiga best. From Chiga's actions and words, she gleaned the information that Rocks was already dead.

She then described the information she had gathered about Rocks to Chiga.

"Boss, this Rocks, like you, can possess the abilities of multiple Devil Fruits. According to intelligence analysis, this should be related to the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit he demonstrated!"

Chiga nodded. He knew about the Swallow-Swallow Fruit; it did indeed have this function. Wapol had once eaten a user of the Fungus-Fungus Fruit and actually used its power.

As expected of someone who has thoroughly studied the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, finding such a substitute fruit after losing the Dark-Dark Fruit is quite impressive.

Moreover, he must have gained quite a few good fruits afterward, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape from the navy's encirclement every time.

Kalifa said that Rocks had a teleportation ability, and the range of his teleportation was quite wide. Once, Kizaru searched the surrounding sea area but still couldn't find the missing Rocks.

In addition, Rocks has another confirmed ability: the Logia-type Swamp-Swamp Fruit. The power he wields with this fruit is astonishing, to the point that it can be described as a natural disaster.
