Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Sengoku was in a great mood and even asked Chiga why she chose that code name.

Chiga responded with a smile.

“My eyes are purple. In my hometown, the Qilin is an auspicious beast that can bring good luck to those around it. I like it very much, so I’ll call myself Purple Qilin.”

Chiga's hometown here refers to Earth, and he doesn't know if Kirin exists in the One Piece world.

After hearing Chiga's words, everyone present subconsciously nodded. It sounded really good. They thought they could also share in the good fortune and maybe one day have an epiphany and become generals themselves.

Gion walked up to Chiga, gently stroked the stray hairs on Chiga's forehead, and said with a smile.

"Then congratulations in advance on becoming a general, General Zilin!"

Chapter 103 The Seven Warlords of the Sea Summoned Ahead of Schedule

After Gion, the others also came forward to congratulate her. Even Akainu nodded to Chiga, and Chiga naturally responded with a smile.

To be honest, there aren't many people in the Navy that Chiga dislikes. If I had to pick one, Coby would be one.

That guy wasn't inherently bad; in fact, he was quite kind, but he was too kind, bordering on saintly. His performance in the Marineford War was really subpar.

That's war! You could have just stood there watching, but what was with that shout at the end? Did the naval officers and soldiers who died in that war become clowns?

It can only be said that Coby is really not suited to be a marine, especially on such a war-torn sea. He might be a decent local commander in peacetime.

Sengoku watched with satisfaction as everyone interacted with Senga. He saw a bright future for the Navy. As long as the Navy could truly unite as one, its combat power would not be afraid of a disorganized group of pirates.

You should know that the navy is the strongest armed force on this sea!

It seems that Chiga becoming an admiral candidate is a done deal, and the World Government has already agreed.

Sengoku frowned as he thought of the World Government. He couldn't understand why the Five Elders thought so highly of Chiga.

It seems that the Five Elders' behavior started when Chiga was in Sabaody. What exactly did Chiga do there?

Furthermore, the Five Elders suggested that Chiga should visit Mary Geoise to meet them after this matter is settled, which is a mixed blessing.

Seeing this, the crane beside him asked in a low voice,

"What's wrong, Sengoku? Is there some kind of obstacle from the World Government?"

"No, they are quite supportive of this. What I'm worried about is... never mind, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Since Sengoku had already said so, Tsuru didn't press the matter further. She turned to look at Chiga, her eyes filled with admiration. This young man had truly brought her one miracle after another.

Thinking back to that incident with the Ope Ope no Mi, Onigumo was really badly beaten.

Tsuru couldn't help but glance at Onigumo, a strange look on her face. Onigumo immediately felt uneasy, wondering what she had done to make Lieutenant General Tsuru look at her like that.

Sengoku then gathered his thoughts and spoke again after everyone had returned to their seats.

"The matter of Chiga being designated as an admiral candidate has been settled. There is one more thing. Doflamingo somehow became the King of Dressrosa and also reached an agreement with the World Government to become a Shichibukai. The candidates for the Shichibukai have now been gathered, and we will convene them at headquarters for a meeting in the next few days."

After Sengoku finished speaking, a look of disgust flashed in the eyes of everyone present. Akainu made no attempt to hide it, letting out a cold snort as billowing black smoke rose from his body.

It's safe to say that very few people in the Navy like the Seven Warlords system. Pirates are pirates, so what's the point of talking about legality? And now they're being summoned to a meeting at headquarters? This is utterly ridiculous!

Chiga seemed thoughtful. So the Seven Warlords of the Sea are all here? It seems that Doflamingo was quite anxious after being taught a lesson by him, afraid that he would be defeated the next time they met?

Sengoku also disliked the Seven Warlords system, but there was nothing he could do; it was a system insisted upon by the World Government, and as the Fleet Admiral, he couldn't refute it.

Moreover, the existence of the Seven Warlords of the Sea does indeed help relieve some of the pressure on the Navy.

Those who become Shichibukai are no pushovers, especially Hawkeye, who always acts alone and is exceptionally strong and difficult to control. This time, we've summoned all seven of them to Marine Headquarters, and their security must be top-notch.

Thinking of this, Sengoku's gaze fell on Chiga again. Chiga noticed Sengoku's gaze and understood his meaning; he was about to step in again.

Fine, let these guys know how terrifying the future admiral of the navy is in advance.

Before Sengoku could speak, Chiga spoke up first.

“These people have terrible tempers. They might cause trouble once they come to headquarters. I’ll go and deal with them. I’ll make them behave.”

As he spoke, a chilling purple lightning flashed in Qianhe's eyes, sending a shiver down the spines of the others.

Akainu, however, wore an expression of appreciation. This was the attitude one should have towards pirates! This was what a qualified Marine should do!

The Warring States period was even more gratified. Look, this is the person I've chosen. He's such a worry-free person!

The meeting had proceeded to this point, and everything that needed to be said had been said. Sengoku gave a summary, and finally, amidst Garp's yawn, announced the meeting was adjourned.

Everyone got up and left. It's worth mentioning that as Akainu passed Chiga, he specifically whispered something...

"You are very good!"

Chiga responded in a way that suited Akainu's tastes.

"For justice."

Upon hearing these four words, Akainu's body trembled. He gave Chiga a deep look before turning and leaving.

After Gion and the others left, she took Chiga's arm and, amidst Chiga's helpless glances at Sengoku, dragged him to a big meal.

In a bar in the windmill village,

Makino held up a newspaper and read Chiga's story to Ace and Luffy, who were sitting in front of her. Ace listened attentively, while Luffy was busy eating a piece of grilled meat, seemingly oblivious to whether he was listening to Makino.

After reading it, Makino excitedly patted her chest and said,

"As expected of Mr. Chiga, he said he was going to capture an old guy the other day, and it turned out to be that Golden Lion, the legendary great pirate! Even Mr. Garp mentioned him!"

Upon hearing this, Ace felt a sense of admiration for Chiga, wondering when he could also eliminate enemies of this caliber with ease, just like Chiga.

It seems I need to train more and set sail as soon as possible to find Luffy's father, whom Chiga mentioned. I think my strength will be greatly improved from him.

Luffy continued munching on his grilled meat, mumbling indistinctly.

"Mmm, delicious. Chika? That sounds familiar. Is it that round-eyed guy?"

An underground exchange,

Doflamingo stared at the newspaper in his hand with a gloomy face. After finishing reading, he crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it aside.

Monet, noticing Doflamingo's odd expression, stepped forward and asked softly,

"What's wrong, young master? What grudge do you have against this Marine named Chiga?"

Doflamingo remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"He's the one who killed the family's former executives, and even Vergo died at his hands!"

Monet's expression changed. She knew about that incident. After returning from Seagull Island, Doflamingo was eager to accumulate strength and even reached some kind of tacit understanding with the government through some unknown means, thus becoming a Shichibukai.

The source of all this was actually this unusually young-looking Marine in the newspaper. This Uchiha Chika could be said to be the biggest enemy of the entire clan.

However, his strength was indeed too terrifying, even the legendary pirate Shiki died in such a sorry state at his hands.

Thinking of Chiga's strength, Monet's heart sank.

Doflamingo, however, turned his gaze to a little girl beside Monet. She was his biggest trump card; it was through this little girl's abilities that he had so easily taken control of Dressrosa.

If only she could use her ability on that Chiga just once...

Doflamingo couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.

“Fu Fu Fu Fu Fu…”

Chapter 104 Doflamingo is up to his old tricks again

A few days after Chiga was appointed as an admiral candidate, Kalifa, Ain, and others led the fleet back to Marine Headquarters.

Kalifa and Ain went straight to Chiga's office upon arriving at Marine Headquarters, having already learned that Chiga had returned earlier than them.

When they arrived at Chiga's office, they found that the furnishings had been removed, as if the office were unused.

The two women were completely confused. After confirming several times that they hadn't gone to the wrong place, they encountered a soldier who was cleaning.

It was through him that I learned that Chiga had been appointed as a candidate for general and had moved to a new office, not far from Sengoku's office.

Upon hearing the news, the two women were initially happy for Chiga's achievement, but then fell silent. Needless to say, Chiga had deliberately concealed this from them, wanting them to come back and face a setback.

Knowing Qianhe's intentions, Ai Yin pouted and said sullenly,

"Chiga is getting more and more cunning!"

Kalifa pushed up her glasses but said nothing; she was already used to her boss's quirky sense of humor.

Led by a soldier, the two women found Chiga's new office. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Chiga smiling at them.

Ignoring Qianhe, the two women curiously looked around the new office.

The new office is definitely larger in area than the old one, and the interior furnishings are more exquisite. The most eye-catching thing is the large calligraphy hanging on the wall behind Chiga's chair.

"Defending the Justice of Peace"

This was specially made at Chiga's request. How can someone who's about to become a general not have his own clear sense of justice?

However, this "peace" can sometimes be transformed into "nuclear peace".

After touring the office, Kalifa gracefully walked to Chiga's desk and said with a smile,

Congratulations, boss!

Ai Yin also congratulated Qian He, and Qian He responded with a smile.

"I'm just a candidate for general. Let's celebrate properly when I actually become a general."

Kalifa and Ain glanced at Chiga speechlessly. "Just a candidate for general? If you weren't so young, you'd probably be promoted to general right away, wouldn't you?"

Moreover, in the current Navy, there is only one Admiral candidate, Chiga. I don't need to say more about how prestigious that is.

But it must be said that looking at Qianhe's excessively young face, both women couldn't help but sigh. This is truly a chosen one of heaven!

After finishing the match, Qianhe Faner stood up, stretched, and said somewhat lazily,

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea will all be at headquarters for their first meeting in the next few days. You two will come with me to take a look. Some of these people look rather strange, so just think of it as visiting a zoo."

Ain wasn't particularly interested in their appearances, but rather in the pirates' strength, so she spoke up.

"I've heard that these pirates are incredibly strong, especially that Hawkeye, who's known as the world's greatest swordsman."

Carly Law shook her head, glanced at Chihiro,

"No matter how strong he is, he won't be a match for the boss. That Hawkeye likes to challenge strong people. Although the boss doesn't like using swords, he might still come after him. Hopefully, he won't cause too much trouble."
