Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

In a flash, Chiga appeared beside Hancock. Hancock remained motionless, seemingly resigned to Chiga's fate.

Chiga glanced at Hancock and said in a low voice,

"You've made enough of a scene, now behave yourself. You don't want your secrets to be revealed, do you..."

"What!?"

Hancock turned sharply to look at Chiga, her face filled with terror.

This is a secret she would never want anyone to know, so how did this person find out?

Looking at Chika's mysterious Rinnegan, she seemed to understand something, and said in a trembling voice,

"It's your eyes, it must be the power of your eyes. Just how many other abilities do you have?"

Chiga was taken aback. Did Hancock think he could see through things? How come he didn't know that the Rinnegan could see through things?

But whatever she thinks, Hancock's strength is still quite good among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Moreover, she possesses Conqueror's Haki and has considerable potential; she could be recruited once the Seven Warlords of the Sea are abolished.

Getting her to obey is actually quite simple: as long as you dare to go against the Celestial Dragons, then everyone can be good friends.

Chiga looked into Hancock's eyes and said,

"Give up the resistance, and I'll tell you something you'll definitely be interested in."

Hancock stood there helplessly, unresponsive. How could she possibly resist this man?

Whether it's her strength or the secrets behind her, she's completely under Chiga's control.

A purple light flashed in Chiga's Rinnegan, and Hancock's gaze froze. Chiga's voice echoed in her mind.

"Behave yourself. I will take action against the Celestial Dragons."

These words exploded in Hancock's mind like a thunderbolt. What did she just hear? This terrifying Marine was going to attack the Celestial Dragons? Weren't the Marines on their side?

Hancock, regaining her senses, stared at Chiga in disbelief. Today, this man had truly given her a series of shocks.

Chiga didn't speak to Hancock again. He smiled mysteriously, and a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki mixed with purplish-black lightning erupted from his body.

Everyone present was considered a powerful figure on the high seas, but under this overwhelming aura, their bodies suddenly felt heavy, and they all let out a muffled groan.

Kalifa Ein and Corazon looked at the others, who seemed to have been hit by a hammer, with confusion, wondering why they had suddenly fallen ill together.

This was, of course, because Chiga's Conqueror's Haki avoided the three of them; otherwise, the three of them would have already fainted in their chairs.

Hancock was closest to Chiga and was the most affected. At this moment, a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she understood what Chiga meant.

Yes, how could someone with such overwhelming Haki submit to anyone? Chiga was telling himself that his ambitions extended far beyond the Navy.

Thinking of Chiga's strength and his age, Hancock's face flushed slightly.

"If it's him, maybe he really can do it?!"

Chapter 108 Jinbe's Gratitude

Having said all that needed to be said, Chiga walked towards her seat, brushing past Hancock.

Hancock turned around and stared blankly at the "Justice" on Chiga's back for a moment, then silently followed Chiga up, looking much more obedient.

Moria, struggling to his feet from the ruins, looked at the two with a tearful expression, thinking, "That's it?!"

I only said one sentence, and before I even finished speaking, I was beaten up like this. Boa Hancock even attacked, but I was just scolded a few times and that was it?

Why such differential treatment? Is it because I'm ugly?

Moria looked down at his already overweight figure. Well, maybe that was true.

Moria glanced at Chiga warily, then hung his head and returned to his seat without a word.

Having witnessed Moria and Hancock suffer defeats one after another, the remaining Shichibukai also became completely obedient. There was no other way; might makes right.

As Chiga returned to her seat, Kalifa immediately and considerately began massaging her shoulders. Her pressure was just right, and under her massage, Chiga contentedly closed her eyes.

Ai Yin looked at the people below with a wary expression. In her opinion, none of these people were easy to deal with. Qian He was enjoying himself right now, and she didn't want them to disturb him.

It must be said that Chiga's secretary and Konoe are very dedicated and responsible.

Hancock felt a little awkward looking at the two girls sitting next to Chiga. She glanced at them and then lowered her head to stare at the table, as if trying to avoid seeing them altogether.

Chiga then looked at Hancock and said,

"I disliked your behavior just now. As punishment, the number of pirate crews you need to eliminate this month will be doubled."

Hancock shuddered. She felt nothing for the punishment, but hearing the words "I don't like it" made her feel uneasy.

However, she nodded silently, indicating that she accepted the punishment Chiga had given her.

Moria nodded in agreement. In his opinion, this punishment was worse than letting him get another beating, since he was a real fat otaku.

Chiga looked around and, seeing that no one else was speaking, waved his hand and said...

"Alright, is there anything else you want to say? If not, you can head back now. The headquarters is short on ingredients lately, so we won't be able to entertain you any further."

After Chiga finished speaking, Kalifa took out an orange from somewhere, peeled it, picked up a segment, and put it to Chiga's mouth.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the foreheads of both the flying squirrel and Corazon. Lieutenant General Purplescale's reason was truly brilliant; it was practically an open declaration that he disliked this group.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea were used to Chiga's attitude, and they remained expressionless when they heard what Chiga said.

Crocodile, Moria, Doflamingo, and Kuma slowly got up, intending to leave.

If they stayed here any longer, they were really afraid that Zi Lin would suddenly turn on them and leave them all here. Wouldn't that mean they would have been sent to their deaths?

Hancock remained seated, seemingly oblivious to Chiga's words.

Hawkeye lowered his arms from his chest and looked at Chiga, opening his mouth as if to say something, but Jinbe suddenly spoke up.

"Lieutenant General Zilin, I have something I'd like to discuss with you!"

Hawkeye paused, temporarily abandoning his intention to speak.

Chika looked at the serious-looking blue robot cat and said calmly,

"You mean that fishman Arlong? He's dead for good. What, you want to demand an explanation for him?"

After he finished speaking, a terrifying aura enveloped Jinbe, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead. He quickly waved his hands and said...

"No, you've misunderstood. Ah Long deserved what he got. You've already shown mercy by sparing his life!"

"Hmm, you're quite sensible. So, what do you want to say?"

The terrifying aura surrounding Jinbe dissipated, and Jinbe immediately felt a lightness in his body.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a respectful expression,

"I'd like to ask what your attitude is towards the fish-men and mermaids?"

Ask yourself about your attitude towards these two races? Chiga thought for a moment and said,

"The merfolk are alright, but it seems that your merfolk don't have a very good attitude towards humans. You should know that, right?"

"That's true, but that's because in recent years, more and more people have been kidnapping and robbing on Fishman Island, so some fishmen have developed hatred for humans. But there are still many fishmen who want to live peacefully with humans."

"Then you should ask Roger how this so-called Great Pirate Era began. Also, isn't Fishman Island under Whitebeard's protection now? What do you mean by asking the Navy for their opinion?"

Jinbe lowered his head, feeling uneasy. Fishman Island was under Whitebeard's protection because King Neptune and Whitebeard had a good relationship.

Whitebeard was indeed very reliable, but in the end, he was still a pirate.

What the Fish-Men and Merfolk truly need is the recognition of an official authority like the Navy, which is something Queen Otohime was willing to risk her life for.

She wanted the residents of Fishman Island to be able to live on land and live peacefully with humans.

How wonderful it would be if the inhabitants of Fishman Island could truly put aside their prejudices with humans. Jinbe longs for such a scene.

Upon arriving at headquarters and witnessing Chiga's strength and potential, he was acutely aware that Chiga was destined to become the commander of the Navy, and how such a person would treat Fishman Island was of paramount importance.

Even the future of Fishman Island rests entirely on Chiga's decision.

Thinking of this, Jinbe, under pressure, carefully said...

"I am truly ashamed to say that Fish-Man Island's capabilities are limited, and we can only rely on the protection of external forces. However, please believe that the residents of Fish-Man Island still hope to gain the recognition of the World Government and be able to go to the mainland to live with humans!"

"Alright, I understand what you mean. I know a bit about Fishman Island, and I will go there myself in the future. Remember, I will treat all people in my Navy Command area equally, but if I see any people I dislike, don't blame me for being too ruthless."

Upon hearing Chiga's words, Jinbe was overjoyed. Although Chiga did not express a particularly friendly attitude towards Fishman Island, he said that he would personally visit Fishman Island in the future!

Jinbe had heard of Chiga's deeds. Chiga was someone who couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing and would directly eliminate those who committed heinous crimes.

But unlike Akainu, he treats ordinary people very well and tries to avoid attacking them. He is a person with a strong sense of principles.

Most of the residents of Fishman Island are kind-hearted fish. If Vice Admiral Zilin could go there, he would not feel any ill will towards him, and it would greatly deter those scoundrels who do evil on Fishman Island.

He also knew that the "people he hated" that Chiga mentioned were not only those scumbags, but also some fishmen like Arlong who were extremely hostile to humans. However, compared to Chiga's attitude, none of that mattered.

Even if Chiga dealt with all those fish-men with extreme personalities, Jinbe wouldn't say anything.

If Queen Otohime's dream could truly come true, what do these things matter?

It could be said that Chiga's words, which didn't even qualify as a promise, were Jinbe's biggest takeaway from his trip to Marine Headquarters.

Jinbe could no longer contain his excitement. He abruptly stood up from his chair and bowed deeply to Chiga with his massive frame.

"I am truly grateful! Lieutenant General Zilin!"

Chapter 109 Hancock's Self-Strategy

Chiga looked at Jinbe, who was filled with gratitude, and sighed inwardly.

This is the feeling that comes with power and status. People in high positions of power can easily change many people's lives with just a few simple words.

I'll go see Fishman Island myself, but I'll probably wait until I'm an Admiral. I still want to see the Ancient Weapons, which are highly praised in One Piece.

If the trip to Fishman Island left a good impression, then I'll do them a favor—it's just about letting fishmen and mermaids live on land.

This is such a small matter, there's no need to call it a Sea King Island; Chiga could do it all by himself.

With his current eye power, let alone making Fishman Island float to the surface of the sea, even connecting it to the mainland would be a piece of cake for Chiga.

At that point, all that will remain to be resolved is the conflict between the fish-man islanders and humans. As for the slave trade, once I've destroyed Mary Geoise, such conflicts will simply be resolved with a few prohibitions.

He waved his hand, signaling Jinbe that he didn't need to stand there any longer. This blue fat guy was a decent, honest man; otherwise, he wouldn't be known as the Knight of the Sea, so there was no need to make things difficult for him.
