Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

"Then you'd better keep your word!"

……

Back at headquarters, Zephyr was immediately surrounded by the stretcher team who had been waiting for him. Zephyr felt a little embarrassed. He was, after all, a former admiral of the Navy. How could he put himself on a stretcher like this?

But it was a few nurses who came up to pull him, and he didn't dare to use force. So he was half-pushed and half-forced onto the stretcher. The several strong men waiting next to the stretcher suddenly stood up and ran away in a flash.

Zefa was dealt with, and the remaining stretcher bearers all turned their heads to stare at Qianhe. Qianhe pouted, took off into the air, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

After leaving, Chiga went to Sengoku's office. As soon as she entered, Sengoku asked her anxiously,

"How are things? Are Zefa and the students alright?"

"Zeff was injured, and about a third of the students were killed or wounded. The attacker was Edward Weevil, the second Whitebeard."

boom!

Sengoku stood up angrily and slammed his fist on the table, veins bulging on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said...

"Damn pirates!"

Chiga also fell silent. Although he had minimized casualties to the greatest extent possible through his intervention, it was still not perfect. This reminded him that because of his arrival, the timing of some events was no longer so accurate.

Sengoku pressed his hand on the table and took a few deep breaths. His anger finally subsided slightly. He sat back down in his chair and pushed a document on the table toward Chiga.

Chiga didn't go to answer it, but instead asked in confusion,

"This is?"

"Your appointment letter as vice admiral. No one can ignore your contribution this time. You can say that you saved the future of the navy. The graduation ceremony of the training camp will be held tomorrow, and I will confer medals on you then. Go and prepare."

Good heavens, Chiga was promoted to vice admiral in less than a day. In an era before the Marines went to Marineford and began recruiting worldwide, such a speed of promotion was unheard of.

Chapter 68 Under the Spotlight: Lieutenant General Chiga! (End of Volume One)

Marine Headquarters, Marineford

The central square was unusually lively today. All the officers of the headquarters were present, and the area was surrounded by a dense crowd. A video den Den Mushi (snail phone) was pointed at the central platform.

This year's graduation ceremony was arguably the most grand in recent years, because it produced a student like Chika whose combat power was completely different from that of ordinary students, and the number of remaining students in this year's cohort was not as large as in previous years due to the Whitebeard Jr. incident.

Therefore, in order to bring Chiga into the public eye and to encourage and comfort the remaining trainees, the Navy decided to broadcast this year's training camp graduation ceremony live worldwide.

Sengoku, draped in a cloak of justice, appeared atop the platform. He glanced at the crowd below, cleared his throat through the microphone, and said, "Quiet."

The crowd below immediately fell silent. Those who came here were all soldiers, and obedience to orders was ingrained in their bones.

After the situation was brought under control, Sengoku said a few words and then withdrew, handing over the task of awarding ranks to Zefa. After all, they were all his students, and this year's students had actually gone through life and death with Zefa, so it was most appropriate for him to award the ranks.

Subsequently, the trainees, led by Ai Yin, went up on stage to receive their ranks.

Bridge, Groves, and Binz were awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, while Ein, due to his outstanding performance in the battle against Weevil, was awarded the rank of colonel on Zephyr's recommendation.

Most of the other trainees were captains or majors. When the last trainee received his rank, everyone present looked puzzled.

What they were wondering about was Uchiha Chika. Everyone knew that the real protagonist of today's ceremony was Uchiha Chika. Look at his achievements: injuring Rayleigh and killing Weevil. These two achievements alone would not be an exaggeration to award him the rank of Major General.

Since Chiga had only served as a commodore for less than a day, many people were unaware that he was already a commodore. However, even if they did know, they wouldn't find it strange, as no one would treat Chiga as a naval cadet anymore.

At this moment, Chiga, the protagonist in everyone's hearts, was being groped by Gion backstage.

Chiga watched helplessly as Gion repeatedly straightened his clothes, and said...

"Okay, stop doing that, you're going to wear your clothes out."

Gion rolled her eyes at Chiga and forcefully patted Chiga's uniform.

"Do you know how many people are watching you today? Your image represents the image of the Navy, so you can't afford to be careless at all!"

"Alright, alright, I understand. I should go out now, or Marshal Sengoku will be worried sick."

After saying that, Chiga disappeared from the spot in a flash. Gion could only sigh helplessly. She wanted to straighten Chiga's collar again.

Whoosh! Chika suddenly appeared beside Zephyr, startling everyone present.

Zephyr, regaining his senses, lowered his voice.

"Where have you been? Don't you know how important today's ceremony is?!"

"Uh, I'm sorry, Professor Zephyr. I'll be more careful next time!"

Seeing that Chiga's attitude was sincere, Zephyr didn't say anything more and took a new Navy Justice Coat from the soldier next to him and put it on Chiga.

This Justice Coat is a special edition. Most lieutenant generals' Justice Coats have a dark red band around the cuffs and similar epaulettes. Only a few lieutenant generals or generals of higher rank wear specially made coats.

For example, Chiga's outfit features purple cuffs, the same purple color as his signature Rinnegan, and long, rectangular epaulets with gold tassels and a purple border.

Everyone who saw the coat through the video Den Den Mushi was shocked. As members of the Marine Headquarters, they could tell that this coat was special; it was only worn by officers of the rank of Vice Admiral or higher, and not just any ordinary Vice Admiral.

They already had a guess in their minds, but no one could believe it was true because it was just too outrageous!

However, what Zephyr said next completely stunned them.

"In view of Uchiha Chika's strength and achievements, the headquarters has decided to award him the rank of Lieutenant General!"

These words caused an uproar. Not only the audience below, but also the three admirals, including Akainu, who had come with them, were completely bewildered. They were unaware of this news.

At this point, it was the Warring States period that stepped forward again.

"Silence! Uchiha Chika's military rank has been approved by the World Government and is completely compliant!"

Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku said so, so everyone could only suppress their curiosity and applaud. In any case, it was a good thing that the Navy had a combat power like Chiga.

The naval high command quickly acquiesced to the matter, not for any other reason than that Chiga had saved Zephyr. It should be noted that almost all the vice admirals and admirals present had once been Zephyr's students, and no one wanted anything to happen to their teacher.

Therefore, even if some people don't know much about Chiga, they at least won't have any ill feelings towards her.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Chiga's promotion speed was indeed too fast, and he was worried that some people would feel uncomfortable. However, things went unexpectedly smoothly.

And so, with all the Marines of Headquarters as witnesses, Chiga turned around, wearing this specially made justice coat, and faced everyone present as a Vice Admiral of Headquarters. This scene was also simultaneously transmitted to all parts of the world via video Den Den Mushi.

At this moment, people around the world watching the live broadcast saw this Navy Vice Admiral named Uchiha Chiga for the first time on video.

On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard squinted as he looked at Chiga in the picture, and at this moment he truly took this new naval recruit seriously.

The other three Emperors had different opinions.

The older woman said, "What peculiar eyes! This navy brat must be from some strange race. I might even have a child with him!"

Shanks: "This is the Navy rookie who fought against Vice-Captain Rayleigh? His growth rate is truly astonishing."

Kaido smashed the video Den Den Mushi in front of him with a single blow, and said disdainfully,

"boring!"

Nojiko and Nami: "Chiga-nii is so handsome!"

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Charlize looked at Chiga in the image, her little feet fidgeting on the ground. Charlos, standing beside her, asked in confusion,

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Um, I'm fine, brother. This Marine named Uchiha Chika looks pretty good, right?"

"Huh? He's just a navy officer?"

Hearing Charlos's disdainful tone, Charlos felt uncomfortable and angrily stood up and stormed off, leaving a bewildered Charlos sitting there dumbfounded.

As the dust settled, Qianhe flew to a warship and examined it.

The warship looked larger than Tsuru's, and its sails, like Tsuru's, were printed with its own unique symbol. Tsuru's ship had her name printed on it, while Chiga's ship naturally had the Uchiha clan crest, which was a ping-pong paddle.

This is the personal warship that headquarters assigned to Chiga after he became a vice admiral. It is named the Six Paths of Reincarnation. There was no other way; calling it the Uchiha would be too much of a blatant disregard for its purpose.

After looking at it for a while, Chiga thought it was pretty good. This way, he wouldn't have to fly there himself for everything in the future.

More than a thousand soldiers were already lined up neatly at the boarding area on the shore. Ai Yin stood at the head of the line. When she saw Qian He arrive, all the soldiers let out a loud shout.

"Lieutenant General Chiga!"

Chapter 69 The Results of the Surgery Achieve Reality

One year later, on the deck of the Six Paths of Reincarnation,

Chiga, wearing black sunglasses, lay on a bench basking in the sun. Ever since he got his own warship, Chiga had grown to love this way of relaxing. No wonder Aokiji always liked to lie like this; it was indeed comfortable.

Wearing a small-sized Justice Coat, a dark blue short-sleeved shirt, denim shorts, black stockings, and black high heels, Ai Yin stood solemnly beside Qian He, looking every bit the dutiful little guard.

Her current situation with Chiga is somewhat similar to that of Smoker and Tashigi in the anime, but Ain doesn't have Tashigi's airheadedness; Ain's personality is more capable and efficient.

Qianhe opened her eyes and glanced at Ai Yin beside her. Seeing Ai Yin's serious expression, she couldn't help but smile slightly, then patted the empty seat next to her.

"You've worked hard, you should take a rest too."

Ayn shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but there were still many soldiers on guard duty on the deck, and she would definitely feel embarrassed to do so.

Chiga didn't force herself and closed her eyes to continue enjoying the sun.

Suddenly, the sound of high heels clicking could be heard, and Kalifa arrived at Chiga's side with a Den Den Mushi in her hand.

Kalifa glanced at Ain beside Chihiro, her expression unchanged, but she leaned down and whispered to Chihiro,

"Boss, Marshal Zhan Guo is looking for you."

"Ok?"

Chiga raised an eyebrow. Since he got his own warship, he had been going out to sea to carry out missions frequently. Usually, these were missions issued by headquarters, such as patrolling or eliminating pirate crews. This was the first time that Sengoku had come to him directly like this.

"Something big must have happened," Chiga nodded, taking the Den Den Mushi from Kalifa. As soon as the call connected, Sengoku's urgent voice rang out.

"Is that Chiga? Hurry back to headquarters, a major incident has occurred that requires your attention!"

"I am Chiga, what's wrong, Marshal Sengoku?"

"The Op-Op Fruit has appeared. This fruit is extremely important. We'll discuss the rest when you return!"

"Yes, I understand."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Chika stood up, and Kalifa immediately took Chika's Justice Coat hanging nearby and put it on him. Ain couldn't help but purse her lips when she saw this.

Chiga smiled at Kalifa, then his expression turned serious. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the warship to return to port immediately.

Naval Headquarters, High-Level Conference Room

None of the three admirals were present at today's meeting. All three had some matters to attend to at headquarters. However, in Chiga's opinion, Akainu was alright, Aokiji was probably out scaring little girls again, and Kizaru was likely slacking off.
