Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

"Chika, come quick and see if Charlize has been knocked senseless?"

Chiga appeared beside Gion in a flash, and gave Charlia a light tap on the head, causing her to cry out in pain and clutch her head.

Charlia looked at Chiga in disbelief and said,

"Why does it still hurt so much? Has my Devil Fruit power stopped working?"

"Fruit ability?"

Gion was taken aback for a moment. Chiga explained the situation to her, and after hearing that Charlia had already eaten the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, Gion couldn't help but touch Charlia's skin and utter the same sigh as Hancock.

"So smooth!"

Chiga patted Charlia's head again and commented,

"You're really slippery, so let's call you Little Slippery from now on."

Charlia immediately raised her small, white fist and shook it in protest.

"No! What do you mean by 'little rascal'? That's awful!"

Chiga chose to ignore it and looked at Gion, asking,

"Why are you back so early today?"

Gion responded,

"I heard you're back, and the female soldiers I've been leading have been clamoring to see you. So I took the opportunity to motivate them to train harder, and it's really worked. So I'm going to keep my promise. How about it? Want to come with me, my king?"

As she spoke, Gion took Chiga's arm, a charming smile appearing on her face.

It's not unreasonable to take this opportunity to show off, right?

Chapter 394 Reencounter with Conis

Dozens of female trainees were already waiting at the training ground.

I don't know if Gion considered appearance when selecting trainees, but almost none of the female trainees were ugly.

Moreover, despite training for so long, their skin showed no signs of tanning. They stood there looking dashing and pleasing to the eye.

Even among a group of beauties, Connie's looks are top-notch, and with her pair of pure white wings on her back, it's hard not to notice her.

At this moment, she looked very nervous, but her eyes also revealed a hint of anticipation.

After a short wait, Gion brought Chiga here.

Upon seeing Chiga, the female trainees immediately became excited. After all, most of them had joined the army because of Chiga, so how could they not be excited to see Chiga in person?

"Lord Chiga!"

The female trainees shouted in unison, but Connie hesitated for a moment, then murmured something under her breath.

"Brother Qianhe..."

Chiga's senses were incredibly sharp. He was taken aback when he heard "Brother Chiga," and then immediately spotted Connie in the crowd.

When Connie met Chiga's gaze, a hint of joy appeared on her face, but she quickly lowered her head when she saw Gion beside Chiga.

However, not only Chika, but even Gion noticed her little trick.

Gion gently nudged Chiga's waist with her arm and whispered,

"Do you know that female student with wings on her back?"

Chiga didn't mince words and nodded, saying...

"Yes, I know her. Her name is Connie, and she's from Sky Island."

Then, Chiga briefly recounted what had happened on the Sky Island to Gion. After listening, Gion looked at Chiga with a strange expression and said,

"You must have really captivated her, making her come all the way from so far away to join the navy!"

Qianhe smiled helplessly. He then remembered that as soon as he left, the Heavenly Dao Puppet went into "standby" mode, which meant that it had suddenly lost contact with Conis.

Under these circumstances, her decision to join the navy is quite telling.

"Oh, my luck with romance..."

Chiga sighed for a moment, then walked towards Conis in full view of everyone.

The students next to Connie became excited, all imagining that Chiga was walking towards them.

However, Chiga walked straight up to Conis, a warm smile on his face, and said,

"Long time no see, Connie."

Connie hadn't expected Chiga to approach her directly in front of so many people. Overwhelmed with joy mixed with a little bit of grievance, she stood there stunned.

Qianhe stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, saying,

"What's wrong? Are you angry because I suddenly disappeared for those two years?"

"No!"

Conis immediately woke up. Chiga had already done a great favor by eliminating Enel and leaving behind a puppet to guard the Sky Island. How could she possibly be angry about something like this?

She quickly explained.

"Brother Qianhe, I was just a little too excited, I..."

At this point, Connie paused for a moment, then mustered her courage and began to speak.

"I missed you so much!"

The other trainees were stunned. Good heavens, someone with connections was right next to me?

No one expected that this quiet and gentle sky island girl would have a relationship with the king, and judging from the situation, the relationship is quite close!

Then what kind of cadet are you here? With that kind of connection, you'd need to be at least a lieutenant commander to get into the navy!

Gion walked over and asked,

"Connie, why do you never mention that you know the King?"

Connie blushed and stammered,

"I'm afraid people won't believe me if I say it, and besides, Chiga-nii is already a king, I don't feel qualified..."

Qianhe interrupted her directly.

"What's this about being qualified or not? You can come see me anytime you want, you idiot."

The word "idiot" eased the distance between Connie and Chihiro considerably. She finally looked up into Chihiro's eyes and said softly,

"Thank you, Brother Qianhe!"

Chika smiled, leaned close to Connie's ear, and whispered something.

"Just come directly to my place after this is over."

Connie blushed even more, but she still nodded heavily, her big eyes full of anticipation.

Chiga was here to comfort the students, so he couldn't keep focusing on Connie all the time.

He appeared on the platform in a flash and casually took out three Devil Fruits.

These three fruits were spoils he obtained from the battle on Seagull Island. They are the Stone Fruit, the Ton-Press Fruit, and the Art-Art Fruit. While these three fruits may not be considered top-tier, they are certainly not weak among Paramecia-type fruits.

For most people, they might never see a Devil Fruit in their entire lives, let alone a powerful fruit that directly enhances their strength. As soon as the three Devil Fruits appeared, the students below had stars in their eyes.

With a flick of his wrist, three Devil Fruits floated in front of him, causing the female students below to scream in fright.

Gion sighed and rubbed her forehead. She began to doubt whether bringing Chiga here was the right or wrong decision. The power of a brainless fan was just too strong; she, the instructor, was practically invisible.

Chiga's gaze swept across the crowd, lingering on Connie for a few seconds before he spoke.

“These Devil Fruits are what I prepared for you. I’m giving them to your instructor, Gion, who will decide who gets them based on your performance.”

These words immediately caused an uproar among the students. Three fruits were given away with a flick of the wrist, which was an incredibly generous gesture that was unimaginable to them.

Chiga reached out and pressed down, and the entire venue instantly fell silent again. Gion was amazed by her ability to control the situation.

Chiga continued,

"Of course, if you don't want a Devil Fruit or are already a Devil Fruit user, you can also make a wish to me through Gion. As long as it's not too outrageous, I can grant it."

"hiss......"

The trainees gasped in shock. Who didn't know that Wang possessed all sorts of abilities? It was said that his abilities were so outrageous that he could bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.

This can be seen from the sudden appearance of Zephyr's family. His child himself said, "Chiga-nii is the benefactor of their whole family!" It's easy to understand what's going on if you think about it for a moment.

Everyone has lost loved ones, and for some, the allure of resurrecting a loved one is far greater than that of a Devil Fruit.

It's safe to say that every reward is incredibly tempting!

Chapter 395 Yamato VS Zephyr

On the way back, Gion kept talking in Chiga's ear,

"You're really generous this time. I think those trainees are going to have to fight tooth and nail!"

Chika shrugged and said,

"Isn't that even better? They'll all be your subordinates from now on. It's good to keep the benefits within the family!"

"That's true, but what are you going to do about Connie? I see she's... um!"

"What can I do? I told her to go to the palace after training and have a good talk then."

"No wonder, her face was so red. But Connie has always been very good, and I've never heard her mention her relationship with you."

"Of course, how could the people I choose be bad?"

"Hey~ Do you remember your apprentice Yamato? She's been coming to your house a lot these past few days, but she always manages to avoid you. Would you like to meet her?"

Chiga paused for a moment, the image of Yamato's silly grin flashing through her mind.

"Yamato...it's been quite a while since I've seen her. How is she doing?"

"That's great! Among all the newcomers, her talent is definitely the strongest. Even Teacher Zephyr is having a bit of a hard time against her now!"

Chiga nodded. Yamato is Kaido's child after all, so her talent goes without saying. With systematic training, it's not impossible for her to reach her father's level in the future.
