Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

A statue of Chika now stands in the square, the original Navy emblem has been replaced with a ping-pong paddle, which is the Uchiha clan crest, and Chika's former mansion has been rebuilt into a magnificent palace.

This move can be said to have taken the cult of personality surrounding Chiga to the extreme. It should be noted that within the Navy, Chiga's prestige is absolutely unprecedented and will certainly never be surpassed.

As for Chiga, the protagonist, he hasn't left his house for a long time since the battle of Mary Geoise.

His fans in the Navy were so enthusiastic that he felt like he couldn't handle them.

Every day, Chiga's diligent secretary Kalifa still goes to "work" in his place. However, Kalifa is not as busy as before because she now has her own secretary, Robin.

With Ain's help, she had a long time to spend with Chiho after finishing her official duties each day.

As for Charlia, she cried bitterly when she heard the news of Mary Geoise's destruction, until Chiga said something...

"Don't cry, this is your home from now on!"

Charlia immediately quieted down upon hearing this and naturally obtained the right to reside permanently in the palace.

Everyone in the Navy knows about Charlia's previous identity, but no one dislikes her. On the contrary, they all respect her greatly because her current identity is, in some ways, even more prestigious than before.

Because Chiga is about to become "King".

This "King" is neither the Pirate King nor the Marine King, but the King of the World. In layman's terms, it brings Im's previous status into the open.

Chiga had no idea he was going to become "King"; Kalifa told him the news when she returned from work.

Chiga was quite bewildered at the time. Although he had had this thought before, he no longer had such a strong desire for such empty fame after evolving into an Otsutsuki.

This was determined after discussions among the top leaders of the current world government. Sengoku and others said that this was what everyone wanted, and that the world needed a faith.

With Chika in charge, the new world government is truly a solid world government.

Chiga was inexplicably crowned king, and Sengoku and others even prepared a special coronation ceremony for him.

On the day of the coronation, a serious "ship blockade" occurred in the waters around Marineford, with ships of all sizes surrounding the city, all of whom had come to watch the coronation ceremony.

Despite the global live broadcast, the public's adoration for Chiga had reached a fever pitch, with everyone wanting to witness the coronation ceremony in person.

Previously, Marineford would not have allowed unauthorized vessels to approach freely, but today there is no such restriction. Only those who are allowed to enter Marineford are restricted; without permission, others can only watch from their own boats.

Besides kings from various countries, people connected to Chiga, such as Nami and Nojiko, are also able to enter Marineford.

Besides these, there was another special person who entered Marineford. When Garp saw him, he was almost scared to death because the person was his son, Monkey D. Dragon.

He also had a special identity: the leader of the revolutionary army.

Garp's expression upon seeing his son was quite complex, while Dragon spoke with a completely calm demeanor.

"Father, I'm here."

Garp nodded slowly and said in a deep voice,

"What are you doing here? Do you intend to disrupt this coronation ceremony?"

"How could that be? Would they be trying to make enemies of the whole world?"

Karp breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and continued to ask,

"So what are you doing here?"

Long looked up at the Chiga statue outside the window, his gaze filled with respect.

"Of course I'm here to celebrate our King's victory! Also, I want to return to the Navy!"

"Oh, that's good... What!?"

Garp was so surprised that snot bubbles came out of his nose. Dragon very considerately took a piece of paper out of his pocket and stuffed it into Garp's hand.

Garp didn't care about that now. He inhaled deeply, slammed his hands onto the dragon's shoulders, and roared.

"What did you say?! Say it again!!!"

Dragon helplessly wiped the spit that Garp had sprayed on his face and repeated, word by word,

"I said I came to celebrate..."

"Just say the next sentence!"

"...I want to return to the Navy."

Garp stared blankly at the dragon for a moment, then suddenly hugged it tightly and murmured,

"Just come back, just come back!"

Dragon fell silent after seeing Garp's reaction. He knew that leaving the Navy had been a huge blow to Garp. After witnessing the corruption of the World Government, Dragon felt he had to do something, so even though he knew leaving the Navy would hurt Garp, he had no choice but to do it.

But things are different now. The old World Government has been completely destroyed by Chiga, who has saved the world from "Imu". In addition, there are fewer and fewer pirates causing trouble at sea in recent years. Dragon feels that his Revolutionary Army has no reason to exist.

So Dragon led his Revolutionary Army back to the Navy, wanting to see what changes the world would undergo under Chiga's rule.

Chapter 293 The Return of the Dragon

Chiga was having breakfast with Gion and the others when a maid entered, bowed respectfully to Chiga, who was seated at the head of the table, and said...

"Lord Chiga, Vice Admiral Garp requests an audience."

Upon hearing the word "seeking an audience," Chiga couldn't hold back any longer. When did Garp become so humble?

In truth, Chiga doesn't fully grasp his own identity. His current status is several times more prestigious than that of a Celestial Dragon, and even the usually carefree Garp feels somewhat intimidated by him.

What's more, he brought the "world's most dangerous criminal" with him today.

Garp was naturally very pleased that Dragon wanted to return to the Navy, but he also knew that Dragon couldn't just return to the Navy whenever he wanted; such a thing had to be approved by Chiga.

So he brought Ryu to see Chiga, wanting to see what Chiga's attitude towards Ryu was.

To Garp's surprise, Chiga showed no surprise at all upon seeing the dragon, as if she had known about the dragon's arrival all along.

Chiga greeted Garp and then continued eating her breakfast.

Long bowed very respectfully to Qianhe, while glancing at Qianhe and the people around him out of the corner of his eye.

Chiga continued eating her breakfast by herself, while Hancock kept adding food to her plate, looking every bit the virtuous wife.

As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon was naturally familiar with Hancock, and he also recognized many of the other people at the table besides Hancock.

For example, Celestial Dragon Charlia, the Devil Child Robin, and Gion, who was just designated as a candidate for Admiral, are all already Major Generals, and the dragons have not been overlooked.

Chika put down her cutlery and looked at Ryu, saying,

"I already know you want to rejoin the Navy. To be honest, I admire your courage; you actually dared to come to the Navy with the reputation of being one of the world's most dangerous criminals..."

Chiga's tone carried a hint of danger, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, causing Ryu to feel tense.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Garp's forehead as he wondered if bringing the dragon today was a mistake.

Gion had just seen a barely perceptible smirk on Chiga's lips, and knew that his mischievous side had kicked in again, and he wanted to tease Garp.

She gently patted Chihiro's thigh under the table, then leaned close to Chihiro's ear and whispered something.

"Chiga, stop scaring Vice Admiral Garp, okay? He's getting on in years..."

Chiga smiled, pressed down on Gion's small hand hidden under the table, and said,

"For your courage alone, I agree to let you return to the Navy, but you'll have to start as a Navy lieutenant."

Long breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then nodded vigorously. Given his personality, he didn't care much about military rank; as long as he could return to the navy smoothly, that was all that mattered.

Garp was overjoyed and said he would give all the rare senbei he had "taken" from Sengoku to Chiga.

Chiga suggested that they forget about it and leave the senbei to Garp and Sengoku, those two best buddies, to enjoy themselves.

Long sighed helplessly, tugged at his unreliable father, bowed to Qianhe again, and said,

"Chiga...sir, we apologize for disturbing your meal. We will take our leave now."

It sounds a bit awkward for a dragon to say the word "master," but since Chiga saved the world, calling Chiga "master" isn't unacceptable to a dragon.

Qianhe raised her hand and called out to him, saying,

"Dragon, did you bring Sabo with you this time?"

Ryu was puzzled as to why Chiga would ask about Sabo, but Garp's expression changed upon hearing it. Of course he knew Sabo; in fact, he had even beaten him up.

Moreover, he remembered that Sabo was dead, and Luffy and Ace were depressed for a long time because of it.

Dragon didn't notice the change in Garp's expression; he respectfully replied to Chiga.

"Sabo? He's here. What does Lord Chiga want with him?"

"It's not me looking for him, it's a little guy who wants to see him. Vice Admiral Garp, why don't you take Ace to see Sabo? It's been a long time since they last met."

After saying that, Chiga lowered his head and continued eating, while Garp pulled the bewildered Dragon away.

Aside from the palace gates, Dragon looked at Garp with a puzzled expression and asked,

"Father, Ace is...?"

Dragon left Luffy when he was very young, so he was unaware of the two older brothers Luffy knew, and even less aware that Sabo, whom he saved, was one of them.

Garp sighed and told Dragon about Ace, Sabo, and Luffy, including Ace's background.

Upon hearing this, Long froze on the spot. He never expected things to be so coincidental; the child he had saved by chance turned out to be Luffy's sworn brother.

But what shocked him the most was that Chiga actually allowed the son of Pirate King Roger to join the Navy, which was even more outrageous than Robin, the devil's son, joining the Navy.

Thinking about it this way, it's not so hard to accept that I, the "world's most vicious criminal," have joined the Navy. I guess everyone else is already used to it.

Garp also learned about Sabo's experiences from the dragon. The father and son sighed and then discussed it and decided to split up.

Dragon will take Sabo, and Garp will take Ace. They will meet in Sengoku's office later.

Sensing what was happening outside, Chiga smiled. Charlia, who liked to watch Chiga after finishing her meal, couldn't help but ask when she saw him suddenly smile.

"Chika, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just laugh when I think about the scene of two idiots meeting."

"Two idiots?"

"Ah."

Qianhe smiled without saying a word, got up from the table, stretched, and greeted the women.

"Alright, there's a coronation ceremony today, let's all go and watch it."

Kalifa covered her mouth and chuckled, saying,
