Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Hearing his wife mention Chihiro, a look of pride appeared on Zephyr's face. He turned to look at the towering ice wall again and said loudly,

"Chika is exactly eighteen years old this year. He is the youngest admiral in the navy, codenamed Shirin!"

Eighteen years old!?

Lisette was at a loss for words.

Her husband, Zephyr, became a naval admiral at the age of thirty-eight, which is not considered old at all. She felt that Zephyr was definitely "young and promising".

But this young man, Chiga, actually became a Marine Admiral at the age of eighteen! That's simply unbelievable!

Lisette did not question the value of the current Navy Admiral; she was simply amazed by Chiga's extraordinary talent.

Upon learning that Chiga had become a Marine Admiral, Justice's eyes immediately lit up with admiration, and he excitedly shouted...

"Brother Qianhe is so amazing!"

When Zefa heard his son praise Chiga, he felt even happier than if he had been praised himself, and he couldn't help but smile.

Zefa smiled, revealing wrinkles on his face—marks of time, symbolizing the pain he had endured over the years.

When Lisette saw the wrinkles on Zephyr's face, a pang of heartache crossed her eyes.

She reached out and gently stroked the wrinkles on Zefa's face, her voice choked with emotion.

"Honey, you must have had a tough time these past few years..."

She knew that compared to her son sleeping in the underworld, Zepha, who was left alone in the mortal world, must be suffering from the torment of losing her family every moment.

This is a kind of pain that is more terrifying than death.

Justice raised his head, staring blankly at Zephyr's aged face, and murmured,

"dad……"

The cries of his wife and children brought tears to Zefa's eyes again. He raised his hand and wiped them away forcefully, trying his best to force a smile as he said,

"All of that is in the past. Thanks to Chika, you all came back to my side. I feel incredibly happy now!"

Chapter 220 Heading to Alabasta

When Zephyr appeared before Sengoku and the others with his family, their reaction was even more exaggerated than Kizaru's.

Garp stared wide-eyed, bent over, and two snot streamed from his nostrils, making Justice and Ristie laugh.

They were in an uproar, especially after they learned that Chiga was behind the resurrection of the Zephyr family.

He looked at Qianhe in amazement, but as the chief strategist, she must have thought of more things than others.

She knew perfectly well how terrifying Chiga's ability was, but she also knew that it would attract the covetous eyes of the World Government.

She looked at Qianhe and said.

"Chiga, only a few people here should know about this, right?"

Chiga nodded. He understood what Tsuru meant, but he wasn't afraid of any world government.

With his current strength, he is confident that he can sweep through the entire Mary Geoise, except for Im.

And since he was a precious resource in Im's eyes, he would never allow anyone else to interfere with him.

However, Chiga thanked Tsuru for her kindness and told her not to worry.

Seeing Qianhe's confident expression, He stopped talking. She knew Qianhe's strength; among the current powerful figures on the sea, no one dared to face Qianhe alone.

Just then, Justice ran up to Chiga, excitedly clasped his two little hands together, and said to Chiga in an incredibly childish voice,

"Brother Chiga, Dad said you've become a Marine Admiral! You're so amazing!"

Chiga and Tsuru, who had been somewhat serious, were amused by the adorable child's voice. Chiga squatted down, patted Justice's little head, and said with a smile,

"What's your name?"

"My name is Justice!"

"Uh, Ultraman?"

"Brother Chiga, what is Ultraman?"

"They are... never mind that. You think the Admirals are amazing, so what makes them so amazing?"

"They're all very strong! Just like Dad!"

Justice's words caused Kizaru, who was not far away, to unconsciously tug at his collar, a hint of smugness appearing on his face.

For some reason, Kizaru didn't feel anything when others praised his strength, but hearing it from Zephyr's son, Justice, made him feel incredibly sweet, like he was filled with honey!

He's even started treating Justice as his nephew without permission. If Zephyr finds out, he'll definitely challenge him to a duel, because this messes up the family hierarchy!

Chiga smiled knowingly at Justice's words, then looked into Justice's eyes and said earnestly,

"A naval admiral must not only have strength, but also his own sense of justice; it is a belief!"

"belief?"

Justice was still young and didn't quite understand the concept of faith. He turned to his father, Zephyr, for help.

Zephyr remained silent, wanting to see what Chiga would say.

Unexpectedly, Chiga then turned the topic to Zephyr, saying,

"You should ask your father. He's a man who lives his whole life with his beliefs, and that's really admirable!"

Upon hearing this, Justice immediately ran back to Zephyr's side, pestering him to explain what belief was.

Zephyr glanced helplessly at Chiga, then picked up Justice and began his lesson.

Despite his somewhat helpless expression, everyone knew that Zefa was actually enjoying himself.

As Sengoku and the others watched Zefa begin to ramble on to his son, a few tears welled up in the corners of their eyes.

They knew that in the past, this was a scene that Zefa had often fantasized about, but it was just a fantasy.

Fortunately, Chiga made this fantasy a reality. They didn't say it, but they were very grateful to Chiga.

Sengoku and Garp both owed great debts to Chiga, and they can be considered Chiga's staunch supporters in the Navy.

As for Tsuru, because of Gion, she loves Chiga even more and thinks of Chiga's needs in everything she does.

It's no wonder that some of the Five Elders couldn't stand Chiga.

From this perspective, all three of the older generation of the Navy's top leaders are Chiga's people. If it weren't for Im's strict control over the Five Elders, they would have already taken action to deal with them.

If things continue like this, the Navy will become an armed force that belongs only to Chiga!

Lisette watched Zefa and her son interact for a while with a smile, then she walked gracefully to Chiga and bowed to him.

This action startled Qianhe, and he immediately tried to help her up.

Although Lisette looked a bit young, she was still his teacher's wife, and he couldn't accept such a bow.

However, Lisette insisted on doing so. She didn't understand anything about seniority; she only knew that Chika was a great benefactor to her entire family!

Chiga waited helplessly for Lisette to straighten up before speaking.

"Madam, you don't need to do this."

Hearing Chihiro call her "teacher's wife," Lisette blushed slightly and hurriedly waved her hands, saying...

"Just call me Lisette, I can't accept the title of 'teacher's wife'."

Zephyr also walked over at this moment, carrying Justice. He patted Chiga on the shoulder, and everything was understood without words.

Chiga didn't want to continue like this. He preferred normal interactions and didn't want everyone to look at him like he was a great benefactor.

Moreover, he's quite eager to spar with Aokiji about his "ice" abilities, but it seems Aokiji isn't at Marine Headquarters right now.

Chiga looked at Sengoku and asked,

"Where is General Aokiji, the Marshal of the Warring States Period? I need to speak with him."

"Kuzan? He went to Alabasta. There are rumors that Crocodile recently formed an organization that's a bit dishonest, and Kuzan volunteered to investigate it."

Speaking of this, Sengoku was also a little puzzled. Why was Kuzan, who always took it easy, so enthusiastic this time?

Even if Crocodile is a Shichibukai, he doesn't deserve to be investigated by a Marine Admiral like you.

Upon hearing this news, Chiga thought of many things. The organization Crocodile founded must be Baroque Works, and since he is the president, it means that Robin has become the vice president.

Otherwise, Aokiji wouldn't have gone to Alabasta so eagerly.

Crocodile was quite provoked by Chiga at headquarters last time. Just like Doflamingo was eager to become a Shichibukai, he was also eager to obtain information about the Ancient Weapon "Pluton". Therefore, he made some big moves as soon as the club was established, which attracted the attention of the Navy.

However, the information that Crocodile had gone to great lengths to obtain was worthless to Chiga, because he already knew what this so-called information was: that "Pluton" was buried in Wano Country.

Although the information about "Pluton" was not of much value, Chiga still wanted to go to Alabasta and see Robin, who was touted by the World Government as the "Child of the Devil".

Chapter 221 Cobra and Vivi

Grand Line, Alabasta Kingdom

It hasn't rained here for almost half a year, and the dry air makes your mouth feel parched with just one breath.

The public was unaware that this was because Crocodile had used "Dancing Powder." Crocodile used this time to cultivate a "national hero" persona, subtly shifting the blame for the lack of rain onto King Cobra.

The unsuspecting populace initially did not believe it, because Cobra was a benevolent king who loved his people. However, as the weather grew drier and Crocodile repeatedly saved the "country" from thugs, public sentiment gradually began to change.

Some restless forces within the country have begun to stir.

This is tragic. As someone on Earth aptly put it...

A good person who has done good deeds all their life is considered to have committed a heinous crime if they do one bad thing in the end, and all their previous good deeds are negated.

But if a bad person does bad things all their life, and then does only one good thing in the end, they will be praised by everyone. All the bad things they did before become a backdrop to their personal charm.

It would be perfect to use it on Cobra and Crocodile.

Crocodile's identity is that of a Shichibukai, which is basically a pirate. When he first arrived in Alabasta, the people were afraid of and disgusted by him.

But after he killed the mob for the first time, he became a "hero" in the eyes of many.

Cobra, who loved his people like his own children, became known as a "tyrant" by many.

On this day, inside the palace,
