"If you embarrass yourself later, I'll hold you accountable!"

Chiga, who had "escaped" from Gion, appeared among the crowd waiting for the test to begin.

A short while later, the tester arrived at the testing site. He briefly explained some precautions and then announced the start of the test, calling on those whose names were called to come forward for the test.

The first student to take the test was a little nervous and only scored 280 points in Dao power. Fortunately, he had a second chance. The second time, he adjusted his mindset and scored 318 points, passing the test smoothly.

The test went very well right from the start, which gave the other trainees a boost of confidence, and more and more people passed.

One man and one woman caught Chiga's attention.

The man's name is Binz, and the woman's name is Ein. Both of them are quite good, achieving scores of 410 and 520 respectively. Compared to most people who barely reach the passing grade, these scores are already excellent.

However, this level of strength was not enough for Chiga to remember their names. What truly piqued his interest was that their names reminded him of a One Piece movie: Z.

This theatrical version mainly tells the story of Zephyr's crazy actions after leaving the Navy, with Binz and Ein following him.

Furthermore, these two were also the last batch of trainees trained by Zeff, indicating that the initial event that led to Zeff's disillusionment with the Navy—Whitebeard Jr.'s massacre of the ship—would occur during this batch of trainees' sea training.

Chiga was naturally not afraid of this Whitebeard Jr. He was confident that once he finished his training, stopping this from happening would be a piece of cake. However, it was always good to be mentally prepared in advance.

Gradually, everyone around her participated in the test, and Chiga became the last one.

The tester glanced at Chiga, who was standing alone in the testing area. As everyone knows, the first and last people to present are usually the ones who attract the audience's attention the most, and they are also more likely to be nervous.

However, seeing that Chiga was calm and showed no signs of nervousness, the tester nodded to himself, thinking to himself that he was indeed the person that the Warring States Marshal had instructed him to observe closely.

Arranging for Uchiha Chiga to appear last was Sengoku's idea. With the Navy currently facing a shortage of manpower, a promising talent like Chiga was someone they wanted to develop quickly. Therefore, they wanted him to attract more attention and accumulate greater fame, which would be beneficial for future appointments and avoid meaningless formalities. It must be said that the current special circumstances have made Sengoku somewhat impatient.

"Uchiha Chika!" the tester loudly read out the last name on the list in his hand.

"To!"

Chapter 15: Sage Mode Shocks Everyone

With another teleportation technique, Chiga arrived in front of the testing device.

This move stunned everyone at the testing site. Qianhe's speed alone made him the center of attention, and the testers stared in astonishment.

"That speed? Is that Shave?? Where did he learn that?" The tester was surprised because Chiga's teleportation technique was so similar to Shave from the Six Styles of the Navy.

"May I begin?" Ignoring the reactions around her, Chiga asked the tester.

"Ah, alright, let's begin, Uchiha Chika."

Upon receiving the signal that it was time to begin, Chiga closed his eyes. To put it simply, the power level was linked to the strength of the physical body, and to maximize the strength of the physical body, Chiga prepared to use the Sage Mode he had learned in Naruto.

Chiga's Sage Mode comes from Ryuchi Cave. During his time outside Konoha, he stayed with Orochimaru and, following Orochimaru's guidance, went to Ryuchi Cave to learn the Sage Mode there. He even made a breakthrough based on the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode and began to evolve in the direction of a dragon.

In Sage Mode, Chiga's physical body and sensory abilities are greatly enhanced, and the power of his ninjutsu and even the Rinnegan's eye techniques increases several times over.

When Chika opened her eyes again, a light purple eyeshadow appeared on her face, making her purple Rinnegan appear even more profound. Her entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change, as if she had become one with her surroundings.

Natural energy surged wildly towards Qianhe's right hand. Qianhe assumed a posture of gathering power and chanted in a low voice,

"Immortal Technique: Dragon Fist"

There was no grand gesture; it was just an ordinary punch that struck the testing device.

"Boom!" A deafening sound followed, and the entire area was filled with sand and gravel. The testing equipment flew out from a cloud of smoke.

With a bang, the testing instrument fell to the ground. The tester rushed forward to check and found that the instrument, made of sea stone, was now covered with dense cracks. Fortunately, the display screen was still intact thanks to Chiga's distraction.

After glancing at the numbers on the screen, the tester froze on the spot. After a long while, he stammered out the numbers on the screen.

"7...7200! Uchiha Chika's score is 7200!"

The rest of the words were practically shouted out, and the entire testing area erupted in cheers!

"7200?? What kind of number is that? Even some high-ranking military officers can't reach that number!?"

"Is the testing equipment broken? How could that be?"

"Damn it! Didn't you see how badly the testing equipment was damaged? It's made of Seastone!"

The students who remained on the field were having a heated discussion about Chiga's performance.

Whoosh! Gion, who was outside, heard such a loud commotion inside and thought that something had happened, so she used her razor to rush into the scene.

She found the somewhat dazed tester and asked what had happened.

Upon seeing that it was Lieutenant General Gion, the test officer quickly recounted what had just happened. Gion, upon hearing this, looked incredulously at Chiga, who was still standing in the center of the arena.

At this moment, Chiga had already exited Sage Mode. Seeing Gion enter, he walked over and said to her with a smile,

"Gion-nee, I have done well. My results should be pretty good."

You call this "not bad"? Stop calling it Versailles, Gion thought to herself, cursing wildly.

I have a new understanding of this newly recognized younger brother of Chiga: he's an old Versailles man.

Gion gave Chiga a deep look. She knew that with Chiga's performance this time, many people at headquarters would be restless.

Sure enough, Chiga's results quickly reached the ears of the higher-ups.

Sengoku was in his office having a love-hate relationship with his old buddy Garp when he received a message from the training camp. Upon receiving the message, he was stunned in his seat, not even noticing the "boo of love" that had hit him.

Garp looked at his old friend with confusion, not understanding why Sengoku had suddenly become demented.

Sengoku suddenly turned his head to look at Garp, startling Garp so much that he jumped up from the sofa. Just as Garp thought Sengoku was going to retaliate for the booger he'd given him, Sengoku slowly spoke.

"Uchiha Chika scored 7200 in the power test."

"What?!" Even the usually carefree Garp couldn't keep up with this result.

Garp, his playful demeanor gone, looked at Sengoku seriously and said, "Sengoku, you've really found a monster for the Navy this time!"

Sengoku nodded in agreement, wondering how Zephyr would react to the news.

Chapter 16 Agreement

In the head instructor's office, Zephyr also learned about Uchiha Chiga's results. He saw the numbers displayed on the documents on the table, then looked up at the soldier who brought the documents with a puzzled expression, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

The soldier swallowed hard, reiterating that he was serious.

Zefa then reluctantly accepted the news.

"I understand, you can go back now." With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the soldier and rubbed his temples, recalling the information on the document.

The information about the 16-year-old Uchiha Chika, a new naval recruit, who had not eaten a Devil Fruit and had a power level of 7200, left Zephyr somewhat bewildered.

This is the recruit with supposedly good talent that Sengoku told me about? You call that good talent? This guy's a monster!?

Zephyr felt that Sengoku was just trying to play a prank on him. Since his wife and children were killed by pirates, the quality of new recruits in recent years had been mediocre. Zephyr had been considering retiring from the Navy for good. When Sengoku found out, he naturally tried his best to dissuade him. In addition, Zephyr knew that the Navy had indeed been struggling in recent years, so he temporarily put aside the idea.

"That guy has such a twisted sense of humor!" Zefa cursed Sengoku in his mind.

To be honest, Sengoku was wronged. In all honesty, he just wanted Zephyr to know about this person so that he could properly teach Chiga in the training camp and not waste his talent. He was afraid that if he spoke too confidently, it would seem like he was using connections, so he spoke more tactfully. Who knew that Chiga would be so abnormal!?

"I never expected that such a talented newcomer would emerge after Saraski and the other two graduated. It seems that there is still hope for the future of the Navy."

Looking at Chika's photo on the document, Zephyr made up his mind to focus on teaching Uchiha Chika in the training camp. He must not waste his talent, especially his personality, and he must not produce a second Borsalino!

With that in mind, Zephyr got up and headed straight to the training camp, ready to take a good look at this monstrous newcomer named Uchiha Chika.

At this time, Chiga had already entered the elite training camp of the main campus with the highest entrance score, unaware that she had been targeted by a purple-haired old man.

He is currently being talked about by a group of new recruits on the street.

"Look, that's Uchiha Chika, that monster with a power level of 7200!"

"Such peculiar eyes, are they from some strange race?"

"So handsome..."

"Stop being a fangirl. Look at the beautiful woman next to him and then look at yourself. Do you think he'd even be interested in you?"

"roll!"

Various comments reached Chiga's ears, and Chiga shook his head helplessly. Whether in the world of Naruto or One Piece, the atmosphere-setters and fangirls are always everywhere.

"What's wrong? You're being admired and adored by so many people, and you still have this expression. You must be feeling pretty smug, you arrogant and brooding guy."

It was Gion who spoke. She followed Chiga in, ostensibly to escort Chiga to her final destination, but definitely not to prevent some lewd young girls from stealing Chiga away. Well, definitely not.

"Alright, stop teasing me. It's all your fault for making me the center of attention. Now I can't even keep a low profile."

"Gold will always shine, talent cannot be hidden, so stop complaining."

As they talked, the two arrived at the training camp dormitory, where Gion stopped.

"That's all for now, I have to go too. It'll be a while before we see each other, so don't miss me too much, little brother Chika~"

"Alright, alright, it's not like you've disappeared. Let's have a good meal when I come out."

Suddenly, Gion's expression changed, and she said fiercely,

"Have you forgotten something?"

"Huh?" Chiga was puzzled.

"Where did you pinch during the test?"

"Uh..." Chiga was a little embarrassed. She had acted impulsively and had indeed overstepped her bounds.

Seeing Chika standing there awkwardly, looking like a silly goose, Gion covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

"Alright, look how scared you are. I'm not going to do anything to you."

After saying that, he actually reached out and pinched Qianhe's face.

Chiga was caught off guard and Gion succeeded in taking advantage of her. She quickly dodged to the side, which made Gion laugh again.

"You're such a child. I thought you wouldn't care about something like this." Gion stopped laughing, composed herself, and straightened Chiga's clothes, just as she had during the test. This time, Chiga didn't say anything; he knew Gion wanted to face the upcoming separation with a cheerful attitude.

"If you graduate from the training camp and become a brigadier general, I'll grant you one request, okay?" Gion suddenly said.

Chiga looked at Gion quietly, everything unspoken.

"Haha, that's almost impossible, isn't it, Chiga?" As if talking to herself, Gion also stopped adjusting Chiga's clothes.

Chiga stepped forward and hugged Gion, whispering in her ear.

"That's it? Not challenging at all."
