Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

"Yamato, it was my oversight not to tell you when I left last time. Actually, I went to another world."

"another world?"

Yamato paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke with a look of horror on her face.

"Could it be that Master... has died all this time!?"

boom!

Chiga couldn't hold back any longer and flicked Daito's forehead. Before she could be gentle for long, she said in an annoyed tone,

"Who said I'm dead? The other world I'm referring to is another dimension. Do you understand what a dimension is?!"

Yamato nodded, seemingly understanding, and asked,

"When can I go with my master to see another world?"

Chiga snapped his fingers, and a black dimensional portal appeared out of thin air beside him.

"It's ready anytime now. I'll take you out for some fun in a while. Are you satisfied now?"

"satisfy!"

Yamato's bad mood comes and goes quickly, which is similar to Charlia's. Of course, in terms of intelligence, the two can be considered a pair of brilliant minds.

She ran up behind Chihiro, hugged him tightly around the waist from behind, pressed her face against his back, and whispered...

"Master is the best, you know? If you hadn't come back soon, I was thinking of going back to my hometown..."

"You mean Ghost Island? I've already been there. Your father is having a great time being king there. If you go back, you'll become a princess, no, a prince."

Yamato curled his lip and said disdainfully,

"I'm a girl, why would I want to be a prince? Besides, I don't want to be a princess. Even my father, who used to say he hated kings and such, is now the one who's become one himself. Men are indeed fickle!"

"Um!?"

Chiga was taken aback by Yamato's last words. He hadn't expected such words to come out of Yamato's mouth, and he couldn't help but ask,

"Who taught you that last sentence?"

Yamato proudly raised his face and said,

"It's Charlia! She said this is the essence she summarized after reading many books!"

Is Charlia even able to concentrate on reading? What kind of books is she reading?!

Chiga sighed and rubbed his forehead, saying...

"Don't listen to her nonsense anymore. In some ways, her IQ might not even be as high as yours!"

"Master, what do you mean by that! Are you saying we're both stupid?"

"Or else?"

"...I admit I'm a little bit smarter! But I'll definitely become smarter in the future! Master, just you wait and see!"

Zefa listened to the two of them talking back and forth, smiling without saying a word.

Chapter 397 Luffy goes to sea

That evening, Chiga's palace was bustling with activity, especially with the addition of Connie and Yamato.

Connie was a little shy when she first arrived, but under the influence of Yamato, who was very outgoing, she gradually opened up and even played her best harp for everyone after dinner.

Gion was quite surprised, because as the instructor, she had never heard Connie play the harp before. She pointed at Chiga's waist beside her and teased,

"I'm really lucky to have you this time. I didn't even know Connie could do this."

Chiga said with a smile,

"When I first met her, she was playing this. Her musical talent is definitely not low."

"Then are you still willing to let her participate in training?"

"It depends on her."

"Hmm, but I think we should let her stay. This palace is quite big, isn't it?"

Gion Chika winked and made a funny face.

Chiga reached out and playfully touched her nose, and just then, Connie stopped playing.

Everyone immediately started clapping, with Yamato clapping the most enthusiastically, making Connie a little embarrassed.

Connie slowly walked up to Chihiro, bowed slightly, and began to speak.

"Brother Qianhe, it's getting late, I should go back..."

Gion secretly patted Chiga on the lower back, but Chiga responded very straightforwardly.

"Yes, then you can go back now!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Connie's eyes, but she was already very happy tonight. You know, apart from Kalifa and the others, not just anyone can enter Chiga's palace.

She nodded, then prepared to leave.

Yamato suddenly shouted,

"Then let me see you off. Your performance tonight was absolutely fantastic! I really enjoyed it!"

She had drunk quite a bit today, her face was flushed, and now that the alcohol was taking effect, she was leaning against Kalifa, waving her arms idly.

Kalifa affectionately pinched Yamato's cheek and said softly,

"You should just give up, you've already drunk yourself into a stupor."

After speaking, she looked up at Qian He, but before she could speak, Qian He waved his hand and said,

"Alright, how could I let Connie go back alone? Let me take care of taking her!"

Upon hearing this, Connie's eyes widened in surprise. The surprise was so sudden that she was momentarily stunned.

It wasn't until Chiga came over and patted her that she came to her senses a little better, and then she followed Chiga away like a robot.

This time, Chiga didn't teleport with Conis directly, but instead chose to walk slowly with her to the dormitory entrance.

It was the time when the trainees were washing up, and when they saw Qianhe and Connie outside the window, they were stunned and dropped their toothbrushes and other items on the ground.

After a brief silence, a loud scream erupted from the dormitory building. Connie was so embarrassed that she buried her head in her chest.

Chika remained calm. He was joking; he'd seen it all, even blown up a planet. What was this little thing?

He smiled at Connie and said,

"Alright, I'll stop here. You can't come any further."

Connie, however, said something that seemed to come out of nowhere.

"Actually, if Chiga-nii wants to go in, those people definitely won't stop you!"

After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh, and Qianhe seized the opportunity to tease her.

"Oh? You don't know how either?"

Connie paused for a moment, then looked up at Qianhe with a serious expression and said,

"will not!"

"Oh why?"

"Because Chiga-nii is the king who saved the world, this world originally belonged to you!"

"Um, this sounds a bit like the Celestial Dragons' stuff."

"No way! How can those people compare to Qianhe-ge? They're all bad people!"

Connie clenched her small fist, and fearing Qianhe wouldn't believe her, she added, "..."

"It's not just me, everyone thinks so, even Secretary Kalifa often says these things publicly in the newspapers!"

"Kalifa... Heh, as expected of her!"

After sending Connie back to her dormitory, Chiga returned to her palace and found Kalifa, telling her about it.

Kalifa shrugged and said nonchalantly,

"Boss, don't you think this is more conducive to world stability? After all, most people now have a unified belief."

"Hmm, you did a great job with this; you're very good at using public opinion!"

"As long as the boss is satisfied~"

......

East China Sea, Windmill Village

This was the day Luffy set sail, but only Dadan and Makino came to see him off; none of the other villagers showed up.

Because they can't understand why Luffy is still so determined to go to sea and become a pirate in this day and age.

In recent years, Luffy's father, Dragon, has often come back to visit him, but he has never been able to change Luffy.

Left with no other choice, Dragon could only decide to let it go. After all, he, as a father, hadn't spent many days properly with his son, and he felt he had no right to interfere with Luffy's thoughts.

Makino sighed all the way to the shore as she saw Luffy off; she really didn't want to see him become a pirate.

Luffy didn't care whether anyone came to see him off or not. No one knew what he had been through, but compared to a few years ago, he seemed a little more composed now.

Reaching the small boat on the shore, Luffy turned and smiled at Makino and Dadan, saying,

"Sister Makino, Dadan, let's leave it here."

Dadan stepped forward and patted Luffy on the shoulder; all she could do was wish him a safe journey.

Makino, on the other hand, was making a final effort, earnestly persuading him...

"Luffy, this isn't the Great Pirate Era anymore. You should think about it carefully. Wouldn't it be better to join the Marines?"

Luffy shook his head, looked up at the sea, and said resolutely,

"No! Becoming the Pirate King has always been my dream, and I will never give up! Also, I must rescue Shanks!"

"But Shanks was captured by Mr. Chiga, how could you possibly be his match!"

"Sister Makino, please stop talking. I've made up my mind, and I'm not so easily defeated now!"
