Upon arriving at the conference hall, Chiga sat directly at the head of the conference table, crossing his legs and waiting for the Seven Warlords of the Sea to take their seats.
Kalifa and Ain stood on either side of him. Chiga didn't like this arrangement today; having the Seven Warlords sit while they stood made him a little uncomfortable.
So Chiga simply had the two of them sit with him on a chair. Anyway, the chair at the head of the table was very spacious, more than enough for three people.
Kalifa and Ain were a little embarrassed, but under Chiga's insistence, they reluctantly sat down on either side of him.
When the Shichibukai who came in later saw Chiga, their lips twitched involuntarily a few times. Doflamingo, on the other hand, thought it was normal; he usually liked to sit like that.
The flying squirrel simply ignored it; what general doesn't have some hobbies?
After everyone was seated, Qianhe tapped the table lightly with his fingers. The people below sat there and waited obediently. They felt it was better not to make a scene since Qianhe didn't speak.
After a long silence, Chiga's deep voice rang out.
"From the day you joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you should have understood your responsibilities. You can't just get the status of a legitimate pirate for nothing, right?"
The Seven Warlords of the Sea all nodded silently, but their faces still betrayed their disapproval.
They certainly knew what Chiga was saying, but knowing it and doing it were two different things.
Even when they were actually asked to contribute during the Marineford War, they all put on a terrible show and didn't give it their all.
Chiga glanced around at the group and understood their thoughts. Joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea was just a formality for them; they would continue to act as usual.
Aside from a few honest guys like Jinbe and Mihawk, some people have gone even further, plotting to seize control of a country.
Chiga is definitely planning to abolish the Seven Warlords system, but that will have to wait for a certain opportunity. Until then, it will have to remain in place.
However, Chiga wouldn't allow these people to live so comfortably any longer. He wanted to teach them a lesson and show them that if they took a bribe, they had to do something for them.
Thinking of this, Qianhe spoke up.
“Starting this month, each of you must hunt down at least four pirate crews per month, and one of them must be a pirate captain with a bounty of no less than 80 million Berries. If you fail to do so, you will be removed from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.”
Don't underestimate the current 80 million Berries. This isn't the era of inflated bounties that will come later, when bounties can easily reach hundreds of millions.
It's worth noting that Crocodile only had a bounty of 81 million Berries before joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which is certainly an underestimation of his strength.
But this also shows that pirates with over 80 million Berries weren't exactly a dime a dozen at this time.
Upon hearing Chiga's request, the other Shichibukai frowned. They hadn't been required to make this request when they joined the Shichibukai.
Moreover, eliminating a few pirate crews is relatively easy, but doing so would further intensify their conflict with other pirates.
Their ties with the Navy will become increasingly deep, and once they lose their status as Shichibukai, they will immediately become the target of everyone's hatred.
But with Doflamingo's foresight, no one dared to speak first, and the atmosphere became tense.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down the flying squirrel's forehead. This was a request that the Sengoku Marshal hadn't mentioned before. Chiga was practically setting this powder keg on fire!
Chiga remained seated as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't been the one making the request.
Seeing that the Seven Warlords of the Sea below hadn't reacted for a long time, Chiga grew impatient and said coldly,
"Alright, I've finished speaking. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
This time, Moria couldn't hold back any longer. He usually stayed in his gloomy lair researching zombies, a place rarely visited, and he didn't like going out, so he spoke up.
"Hehehe, Lieutenant General Zilin, this seems to contradict the previous agreement, we..."
hum!
A terrifying gravitational force pulled Moria directly from the chair toward Chiga. As he flew to the center of the table, he was repelled by a repulsive force, and his entire body crashed into the wall.
The whole process happened extremely fast. Apart from Hawkeye, the other Shichibukai hadn't even reacted before Moria had already disappeared from his seat.
Doflamingo's face turned ashen; no one present knew this move better than him.
He was defeated by this move on Haiyan Island without any resistance, and seeing it again still makes him feel a dull pain in his body.
Doflamingo has many sources of information, and he already knows that the ability is the power of Chiga's eyes.
He couldn't help but look at Chiga's Rinnegan, but Chiga noticed.
Chiga gave him only a cold glance, and Doflamingo was struck dumb. He quickly lowered his head and dared not make any further moves. He was truly terrified of Chiga.
At that moment, Moria crawled out from under the bricks. He looked at Chiga in fear, unable to understand what kind of power it was that he couldn't resist at all.
Chika flashed and stood in front of Moria in the next second, coldly looking down at the disheveled Moria.
"Do you have any other comments?"
Moriah shuddered in fright and shook his large head violently to indicate that he had no objections.
Moria quieted down, but Hancock couldn't take it anymore.
From the moment she arrived at headquarters until now, she has felt constantly threatened by Chiga.
Even if Chiga's strength is indeed terrifying, how could she, who is always proud and arrogant, accept being threatened to this extent by a man?
Hancock suddenly stood up and angrily rebuked,
"Am I here just to listen to you make such unreasonable demands?!"
In response to Hancock's question, Chiga replied without turning her head.
"Ah, what else?"
"Damn it! Fragrant feet!"
Chiga's attitude made Hancock unable to bear it any longer. She leaped into the air and kicked Chiga, who had his back to her.
*Snap!* Chiga grabbed Hancock's ankle.
Hancock's expression changed, and she said in disbelief,
"You, how could you..."
"Why didn't my hand turn to stone, right?"
Chiga slowly turned her head and looked at Hancock indifferently.
Hancock's position was somewhat awkward at this moment. Because her ankle was being held by Chiga, she could only maintain a high leg position facing Chiga, and some of her views were completely visible to Chiga.
However, since she was wearing a long cheongsam today, only Qianhe could be seen.
Seeing Chiga looking at her, Hancock blushed and called out urgently,
"Let me go!"
Chiga didn't want to stay stuck there with her like this, and the way Kalifa and Ein behind him were looking at him was starting to get weird.
Chiga released her grip, and Hancock immediately withdrew her long legs, quickly retreating to a safe distance, looking at Chiga with embarrassment and annoyance.
Meeting Hancock's gaze, Chiga remained calm and composed, her lips moving slightly but no sound escaping her lips.
Seeing Chiga's actions, Hancock's face turned even redder; she understood what Chiga meant.
"You're still wearing it."
Chapter 107 Hancock, you didn't want this either...
Hancock was thoroughly enraged by Chiga's behavior. She put her hands in front of her chest, making a heart shape and pointing them at Chiga.
"Sweet and refreshing!"
Heart-shaped ripples spread out from her hand, passing through Chiga in concentric circles.
Hancock looked smugly at Chika, who had been hit by Sweet Sweet Breeze. In her opinion, Chika was definitely not the kind of person who was without lust, given that she had just said those kinds of things.
Anyone attracted by her beauty will be petrified; she is very confident in the power of her Sweet-Sweet Fruit.
However, despite the sweet breeze blowing on Chiga for quite some time, there was still no change in her appearance.
Hancock stared at Chiga in disbelief, defiantly increasing the intensity of her power output, causing the number of pink heart-shaped ripples to rise continuously.
No matter how hard she tried, in the end she could only make Chiho look a little more pink.
Having stopped using her abilities, even the most confident Hancock now had to accept the fact that her powers had absolutely no effect on Chiga.
The previous Fragrant Kick could even petrify non-living things, but it had no effect on Chiga, so other attacks need to be tried as well.
The onlookers behind them were also full of doubt, especially Kalifa and Ain.
The two of them already knew about Hancock's Devil Fruit ability, so they knew how lethal that ability would be to men when it was applied to Hancock.
It's impossible for Chiga to have absolutely no feelings for Hancock; they were both absolutely certain of that.
Hancock's looks and figure are top-notch, and they don't believe that Chiga has no feelings for her at all.
But why does Hancock's power fail on Chiga?
Hawkeye's expression was serious as he noticed the black lines on Chihiro's neck and the back of his hand.
Although it differs somewhat from the form of Armament Haki, given his equally high level of Armament Haki, he could naturally determine that it was also Armament Haki. That state should be similar to Chiga's Devil Fruit ability, having been cultivated to a higher level.
Thinking of this, Hawkeye's heart sank. Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, Devil Fruit ability, and the swordsmanship he hadn't shown yet—did this man have no weaknesses?
Seeing that Hancock was standing there motionless, Chiga spoke up.
"have you had enough?"
Hearing Chihiro's voice, Hancock trembled. She knew she was no match for the man before her, but she still asked, unwilling to give up.
"I admit that your strength is indeed far superior to mine, but can you tell me why you were able to block the power of the Love Love Fruit?"
Chiga tugged at his collar, revealing two black lines running vertically down his throat.
"Don't you know that when Armament Haki reaches a certain level, it can make you immune to attacks from certain special Devil Fruits?"
Hancock's pupils contracted. She knew that Armament Haki could make one immune to Devil Fruit abilities, but since she obtained the Love-Love Fruit, she had never encountered anyone with Armament Haki strong enough to be immune to her abilities.
She had almost forgotten about this saying, and of course, even if she thought of it, she wouldn't care. After all, she could be said to be one of the people most compatible with the Love Love Fruit's ability. How strong would Armament Haki be to be immune to her ability?
But what happened today was a huge blow to her. It turns out that there really are people in this world with such strong Armament Haki. What's most terrifying is that Armament Haki is only a part of their strength.
Hancock stared blankly at Chiga. Why, why would someone with such power be a Marine?
With such people around, the World Government's position will become increasingly unshakeable, and the Celestial Dragons will become increasingly unscrupulous.
Am I destined to live in the shadow of the Celestial Dragons for the rest of my life?!
Hancock's mood was at its lowest point at this moment; she stood there silently, her face ashen.
Seeing Hancock in this state, Chiga temporarily abandoned his plan to attack her, but some punishment still needed to be given.
