Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

But anyone who knows the relationship between Kizaru and Zephyr knows that this guy is definitely trying to annoy Zephyr.

As expected, Zephyr's expression darkened upon receiving Kizaru's "concern." He glanced at Kizaru and said coldly,

"Borsalino, do you think I can't tell you're being sarcastic? You probably just want me to retire in the hospital, don't you?"

"Professor Zefa, what you said really hurt me. Everyone knows I respect you the most!"

"Heh, if you really respect me, shut your mouth now and go cool off somewhere else!"

"okay!"

Upon hearing the teacher's kind greeting, Kizaru immediately pulled out a pair of nail clippers from his pocket and went to a corner to trim his nails.

Zefa rolled his eyes; he was at his wits' end with this guy.

In fact, Zephyr and Kizaru's relationship isn't as bad as it seems; there's a bit of a love-hate dynamic between them.

At the end of the movie, when Kizaru hurled the Yasakani no Magatama, a flash could be clearly seen on his sunglasses. Perhaps Kizaru, who always seemed indifferent to everyone, also had tears in his eyes at that moment.

Was there a sense of bitterness and helplessness in that cry of "Goodbye, Professor Zephyr"?

After seeing Kizaru off, Zephyr looked at Chiga. Although he was hospitalized thanks to Chiga, there was no anger in his eyes when he looked at Chiga; instead, there was only admiration.

So when Zephyr saw Ain pouting and pinching Chihiro's waist, he immediately spoke up to help Chihiro out of the predicament.

"Ain, stop pinching him. This time, I'm the one who wants Qianhe to fight me. It has nothing to do with him."

What Zefa didn't know was that Ain hadn't used any force. She was just putting on a show because she was afraid Zefa would blame Chiga. Given her feelings for Chiga, how could she really bear to hurt Chiga?

As expected, Ain stopped what she was doing immediately after hearing Zefa's words, and even subtly rubbed Qianhe's waist.

However, how could her little tricks escape Zephyr's eyes?

Zefa smiled helplessly. He knew Ain's feelings for Chihiro, so he didn't say anything.

Chiga felt a little embarrassed. After defeating Zephyr with the Destruction Armament, he immediately wanted to sell the Stone Long Bi to Zephyr to help him recover.

Unexpectedly, Zephyr refused after learning of his intentions, and the reason for his refusal was quite bizarre.

Zephyr said he hadn't had such a satisfying fight in a long time. This little injury was nothing to a man, and it would be best if it left a scar!

That way, he can proudly point to the scar on his forehead and say to others, "This is the scar left by my favorite student, Uchiha Chika!"

To be honest, when Chiga heard Zephyr's reason, she really suspected that Zephyr had broken his head.

Moreover, Zephyr was already stubborn, and now that he had eaten the Ox-Demon Fruit, he was even more stubborn to the extreme. He was determined not to let Chiga treat him.

However, Zephyr later paid the price for this, because when Sengoku arrived and saw the condition on his forehead, he immediately called medical personnel carrying a stretcher for Zephyr.

In the end, Zefa, still cursing and swearing, was carried onto a stretcher by a group of medical staff and taken directly to the hospital, where he is now being "publicly executed" by the crowd.

The scar he was so worried about probably can't be saved even with the doctor's treatment. In fact, after the bandages are removed, the skin at the wound site may become smoother than before!

This proves the saying: "Those who do evil will not live long!"

Although Zephyr said he didn't care, Chiga still expressed his apologies again. He couldn't help it; he was a respectful and exemplary young man!

Chiga looked at Zephyr on the hospital bed and said,

“Professor Zephyr, no matter what, this is all my fault. You should rest here for a few days.”

"Hehe, I am very pleased with the strength you have shown, but I do not like what you said. I am completely convinced of my defeat. Even without those strange and unusual abilities, your domineering aura alone is already unparalleled in the world!"

After saying this, Kizaru, who was trimming his nails in the corner, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and mumbled something.

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Akainu and Aokiji glanced at Kizaru simultaneously, knowing that Kizaru would definitely be unhappy.

They looked away, glanced at each other again, and then nodded silently in acknowledgment, as if some of the previous unpleasantness had dissipated.

Sengoku was pleased to see the harmonious atmosphere in the ward and couldn't help but mention it.

"Alright, alright, this was just a misunderstanding. Why don't we all have dinner together here tonight? It'll be a way to celebrate Chiga's promotion to general!"

Before Sengoku could even finish speaking and his excitement had subsided, he noticed Zephyr staring intently at him. He stroked his beard and asked, somewhat puzzled,

"What's wrong, Zephyr? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zephyr sneered. He had no feelings towards Chiga, but he had a lot of feelings towards Sengoku.

In his opinion, if it weren't for Sengoku's meddling, would he be lying in the hospital like this now? And being sarcastic and malicious by Borsalino, and now you're coming out to play the good guy?

Think beautiful!

Thinking of this, Zephyr smiled and looked at Sengoku, saying...

"Sengoku, how about we have a battle after I get out of the hospital? I really need to learn from you how to develop my Devil Fruit abilities, what do you think?"

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered I have something to take care of. You guys eat first, don't worry about me!"

Chapter 149 Deep-Sea Prison

After visiting Zephyr, on the way back, Chiga suddenly turned to Kalifa and said,

"Kalifa, connect me to the Deepsea prison and tell them I need to go there."

"Okay, boss."

Kalifa immediately took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed Deep Sea Prison in front of Chiga.

Accompanied by a series of gurgling sounds from the Den Den Mushi, a somewhat arrogant voice rang out.

"Moshi Moshi, this is the Deepsea Prison. I am Deputy Warden Hannibal. What do you need me for?"

When Hannibal said the word "deputy," his voice noticeably lowered, as if he was reluctant to mention it.

"I am General Zilin's secretary. Is Director Magellan here?"

"What?! General Purple... General Purple Scale? Director Magellan is still in the restroom. You can tell me what's wrong first, and I'll go to the restroom to inform him right away!"

"Yes, General Zilin is going to your place soon, and he asked me to inform you in advance."

"Understood, I'll go to the restroom immediately to inform Chief Magellan!"

After the call ended, Kalifa looked at Chihiro and said,

"Boss, shall we set off now?"

"Yes, there's a gift I prepared for you there."

"Is it a Devil Fruit?"

"Kalifa, can you please not be so blunt?"

"Shouldn't I be able to speak frankly with my boss?"

"……Yes."

The entrance to the deep-sea prison.

All the prison guards and staff were stationed here, and a hint of anticipation and tension could be seen in their eyes.

Magellan stood between the two lines. It was supposed to be his time to go to the toilet, but thinking of the people who were about to arrive, he forced himself to hold it in.

Because the great general Zilin is coming today!

Although the deep-sea prison and the navy are two different systems, as the prison warden, he doesn't need to care so much about the navy admiral.

However, General Zilin is different. He is capable of defeating two emperors by himself. A powerhouse of this caliber is a true guest of honor wherever he goes.

Moreover, the fact that such a strongman came from the Navy made him even more awe-inspiring and worthy of worship. Many prison staff, including officers, regarded Chiga as their idol.

So when the news of Chiga's impending arrival reached the prison, the entire prison was immediately in an uproar.

Without Magellan giving any orders, they spontaneously came to welcome Chiga.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the open prison gates. Gradually, two figures appeared.

Some people couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes fixed on the two figures.

Finally, Chiga and Kalifa appeared before everyone.

In the crowd, Sadie, the prison warden in a pink leather jacket, cupped her flushed face in her hands and looked at Chiga, who was wearing a navy coat and had a handsome face, and shouted excitedly.

"Oh~ that's General Zilin, he's just as handsome as in the photo!"

Next to little Sadie was Domino, the deputy warden of the prison, who was wearing a brown military uniform. Seeing that little Sadie was getting a little too excited, she reached out and tugged at her sleeve.

Little Sadie turned around and looked at Domino.

Domino put a finger to his lips and gestured for Sadie to be quiet.

Little Sadie was naturally very dissatisfied. His idol was about to walk right up to him, and you were telling him to shut up?

But a higher rank can have an absolute advantage. Although she was dissatisfied, she could only obediently shut her mouth in the face of Domino, who was one rank higher than her. However, her inexplicably trembling body seemed to be making a silent protest.

Domino curled her lip, thinking to herself, "With your behavior, you shouldn't embarrass Deepsea Prison. Everyone wants to see General Purplescale, including her, but can't you at least be a little more elegant?"

After Little Sadie calmed down, Domino's eyes behind her sunglasses immediately turned to Chiga. If she were to take off her sunglasses now, one would see that Chiga's image was now the only one in Domino's eyes.

That's right, the deputy warden of the deep-sea prison is also a big fan of Chiga.

There are many reasons why she became infatuated with Chiga. First of all, Domino is a complete sucker for good looks. In the anime, she was captivated by Empress Hancock's appearance, and Chiga's face did indeed fit her aesthetic preferences.

But there is another very important point: none of the pirates who passed through Chiga's hands ever made it to Impel Down alive.

Domino, who had served as deputy warden for several years, was utterly disgusted by these pirates, especially those who were heinous and powerful. Despite committing such grave crimes, they were still brought in unharmed.

Look at how those people behaved in prison. They acted like they were just checking into a hotel, showing absolutely no respect for the staff. Verbal abuse was commonplace for them.

So when Domino learned about Chiga's deeds, she became enamored with him. In her eyes, Chiga was simply a perfect man.

In fact, Akainu and his hawkish gang also fit Domino's requirements, but unfortunately, they all failed because of their appearance.

Domino glanced at Kalifa beside Chihiro, then looked away, thinking to herself...

"This woman must be General Zilin's secretary, right? She looks pretty ordinary to me. I wish I could be her secretary..."

Chiga was unaware that the two most beautiful girls in the Deep Sea Impel Down had already begun to flirt with him. He was now standing in front of Magellan, extending his hand and smiling as he spoke.

"Director Magellan, nice to meet you. I am Admiral Shirin of the Marine Headquarters. You can call me Chika."

Chiga's approachable attitude immediately made those around her feel like they were basking in a spring breeze; this is the power of the idol filter.

In their eyes, even if Chika sneezes, he's still handsome.
