Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

He can't be the only one with worries!

When Big Mom and Kaido found out, their reactions were exactly as Whitebeard had predicted.

Kaido's spiked club went limp, and Big Mom's cake suddenly lost its appeal.

Once they came to their senses, they surprisingly shared the same thought: to pretend that Rocks didn't exist and continue living their lives.

Old captain? Sorry, there's no ship in this new era that can carry you!

Compared to the other three Emperors, Shanks reacted much more strongly upon hearing the news.

After hearing the news from Whitebeard, Shanks returned to his ship and went alone to the bow, gazing at the sea in a daze.

His empty sleeve was blown backward by the sea breeze, making his back look exceptionally lonely.

Shanks was once on Roger's ship. Although he did not personally experience the battle at God Valley, he learned a lot about Rocks from Roger.

This guy is a lawless individual, an extreme member of the D clan.

In his view, as members of the same D clan, if Luffy's D represents Dream, then Rocks' D represents Desroy.

It seems that the existence of someone like Rocks is solely for the purpose of leading the world to destruction.

Besides Rocks, Blackbeard Teach also gave Shanks the same feeling, only he was already dead.

In a sense, Teach and Rhodes can be considered the same person.

This explains why Shanks always felt that Teach was not a simple person.

Shanks has pinned all his hopes on Luffy. Chiga was already a huge problem for him, and now Rocks has appeared...

This made him, who believed in fate, begin to have doubts for the first time.

Looking back on the "Great Pirate Era" started by Roger over the years, it seems that nothing has changed except for the countless tragedies it brought to ordinary people.

Shanks looked up at the sky expressionlessly and muttered to himself,

"Captain Roger, are we really doing the right thing?"

Chapter 200 Dragon

As news of Rocks' resurrection spread, undercurrents surged across the sea.

Although not many people know about Lox now, there are still many people from the old days who have a deep memory of him.

In a tavern in a gray area,

A drunken old pirate was standing on the table, holding a bottle of liquor and shouting about Rocks.

He bragged about Rocks at length, and from his words it was clear that he did know about Rocks, but he couldn't give a clear answer about Rocks' personality or what he actually looked like.

In short, Rocks was a very powerful person, even more powerful than the current Four Emperors!

At this moment, someone asked a question.

"How does he compare to Admiral Shirin?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The name "Purple Scale" has now become a taboo among pirates, to the point that people turn pale at the mere mention of it.

The old pirate was so frightened that he choked on his drink, his face turning blue and purple. The surrounding pirates burst into laughter. They had long been annoyed by the old man's pretentious act, and were naturally happy to see him make a fool of himself.

The old pirate, having recovered his composure, was enraged by the crowd's mockery. He shouted,

"What are you laughing at?! Aren't you afraid of Zi Lin?"

"..."

The tavern fell silent, because no pirate could say he wasn't afraid of Zi Lin, and even the old pirate himself slumped on the table.

They were already considered losers among pirates. In recent years, due to Chiga's appearance, some pirates who relied on raiding villages for survival have been walking on thin ice every day, and their work performance has been extremely poor. You can tell just by looking at the patches on their clothes.

In the corner, a mysterious figure cloaked and whose face was obscured downed his drink in one gulp. He slowly rose, tossed some peso onto the table, and prepared to leave.

However, his attire and movements stood out conspicuously among the silent pirates, drawing all their attention to him.

The mysterious man ignored the pirates' stares. He walked to the tavern door and suddenly stopped, seemingly talking to himself.

"If you're so afraid of Zi Lin, then don't be a pirate."

"Nani!?"

The mysterious man's words were like a boulder thrown into water, creating a splash.

The pirates stood up, some even pulling out guns and pointing them at the mysterious man whose back was turned to them.

"You arrogant bastard! Aren't you a pirate? Aren't you afraid of Zi Lin?"

Upon hearing this, the mysterious man slowly turned around to face the group of pirates in the tavern.

Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, briefly illuminating the dimly lit room and revealing the mysterious man's face beneath his hood to the pirates.

His face looked somewhat terrifying because he had no eyebrows and a string of red tattoos on the left side of his face. Combined with his fierce expression, he was practically a standard villain template.

If Chiga were here, he would recognize this person at a glance; he is Luffy's father, Monkey D. Dragon.

The pirates in the tavern were so frightened when they saw the dragon's face that they froze on the spot.

They weren't scared by the dragon's face. As pirates, they'd seen all sorts of strange people and were immune to appearances.

What terrified them so much was the aura emanating from the dragon—the aura of a powerful being.

Long pulled down his hood, completely revealing his face.

Looking at the rabble before him, a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips, and he retorted,

"Why should I be afraid of Zi Lin? I'm not a pirate!"

The pirates in the tavern all swallowed hard. Who else could be drinking in a place like this if not pirates? Could they be bounty hunters?

Suddenly, the old pirate, who had been ignored by the pirates for half a day, tremblingly extended a finger, pointed at Dragon, and said in disbelief,

"You...you are the commander of the revolutionary army, Dragon!"

It has to be said that although this guy likes to brag, he is actually quite knowledgeable and knows more than these pirates who have only recently entered the industry.

Upon learning of Dragon's identity from the old pirate, the group of pirates were so frightened that their legs went weak, because this person was defined by the World Government as the "world's most vicious criminal"!

Long glanced at the old pirate with some surprise, then shook his head, because he felt that the pirates in the tavern were beyond redemption.

He didn't want to waste any more time with these people, so he turned around and left the tavern. But when he got to the door, he suddenly stretched out an arm and waved, as if he was saying goodbye.

After completing this action, the dragon's figure completely disappeared.

The pirates in the tavern immediately collapsed to the ground, thankful that they had escaped with their lives.

But is this really the case?

A powerful storm suddenly appeared from the street and swept towards the tavern.

boom!

The tavern was destroyed in an instant, and the storm swept the tavern's ruins and the pirates' severed limbs into the sky.

On a rooftop, wisps of wind gathered together, forming a human shape, which then solidified into the form of a dragon.

Dragon glanced at the ruins of the tavern destroyed by the storm, his expression revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

He pulled out several pieces of torn newspaper from his pocket, all of which had Chiga's image on them.

After observing for a while, Long carefully collected the fragments, then turned his head to look in one direction, his gaze seemingly piercing through space to reach Marine Headquarters.

He murmured,

"Uchiha Chika, what kind of man are you really?"

Marine Headquarters, Marineford

It was raining, and the sky was gray. Chiga, dressed in a black suit, stood solemnly, while Zephyr stood silently in front of him, looking at two tombstones, one large and one small.

Today is the anniversary of the death of Zefa's family. Zefa's beloved wife and his three-year-old son are buried here.

A light drizzle fell on Zefa and Qianhe, wetting their clothes.

Chiga didn't use any of his abilities to block the rain, because he knew it was best to let Zephyr calm down for now.

Perhaps for Zefa, the raindrops hitting his body were his departed family members expressing their longing for him, which brought him some comfort.

It was impossible to tell whether the water on Zefa's face was from rain or tears. He placed some prepared items in front of the tombstones, gently wiped the two tombstones, nodded to Chiga, and then left in silence.

Infected by Zephyr's emotions, Chiga also felt bad, and he thought of his best friend Minato in the Naruto world.

He reached out and placed his hand on his Rinnegan, and at that moment, two lines of tears flowed from those eyes that were said to be able to control life and death.

Chiga bowed slightly to the two tombstones before turning and leaving.

He was going to find a fruit to make up for the regret in his heart.

Chapter 201 Brooke

The first half of the Grand Line, the Devil's Triangle,

This sea area is shrouded in darkness year-round, with mysterious shadows occasionally flashing by, and hundreds of ships disappear here every year.

From a ship that had been adrift here for an unknown amount of time, a song drifted out.

"Yo-ho-ho-ho~ Yo-ho-ho-ho~"

The singing was alright, but in this deserted place, it sounded very eerie and gave people the creeps.

Crack!

A burst of purple lightning suddenly appeared in the dim sky, then solidified into Chiga's figure.

Hearing the singing in his ears, Chika smiled and said,

"It's Binks' wine. I've found you, Brooke."

That's right, Chiga's purpose in this trip is to find Brook and obtain the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Feast of the Underworld Fruit) from him.

In Chiga's view, the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) is a top-tier fruit. Among abilities related to the soul, it is definitely one of the best, even surpassing Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit.

In the anime, it's clear that the Revive-Revive Fruit has a natural suppressive effect on Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit; it's obvious which is stronger.
