Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

He led Chihiro to an office, and when he opened the door, Ambus was astonished to find two women already sitting inside, and he had no idea who they were.

One of the women had short, curly blonde hair, an elegant appearance, wore a white hat, a pink dress and a white shawl, and high heels.

The other woman looked younger, with long blonde hair, a cool expression, glasses, a black blazer, a black tight-fitting mini skirt, black fishnet stockings, and black pointed high heels.

"

Who are you people? What are you doing here?

Ambushers had no interest in admiring the beautiful women; he adopted a wary stance, staring intently at the two women in front of him.

Chiga remained relatively calm. From their appearances, he had a general idea of ​​their identities: the one in the white hat was Stussy, P0, and the other was Kalifa, P9.

Seeing Ambst's posture, Stussy stood up, handed Ambst a document, and then covered his mouth with a soft laugh.

"Oh dear, Major General Ambusher, don't be so nervous. We mean no harm. Let me introduce ourselves. We are from the World Government. My name is Stussy, and this lady next to me is Kalifa."

A member of the World Government? Ambushes's pupils contracted as he looked at the documents in his hand. Another person he couldn't afford to offend. Just who was this Uchiha Chika? Why did all these gods he rarely saw suddenly appear as if they were free?

However, whoever it was, it was someone a major general like him couldn't afford to offend, so he could only silently endure it. Composing himself, Ambust respectfully returned the documents to Stussy and said,

"So it's Ms. Stussy. My apologies for not being here in person. May I ask what brings you here?"

Stussy returned to his seat, elegantly crossed his legs, picked up a cup of hot tea, gently blew on it, and took a sip. Mordis, watching this, quietly complained to Qianhe...

"Master, this old woman is such a show-off! I really want to give her a good swipe!"

Chiga comforted her, thinking to himself,

"Forget it, this woman is no ordinary person, and she's probably after me. Let's see what she's up to first."

Stusi, having taken a sip of tea, put down his cup, no longer looking at Ambus, but instead focusing his gaze on Chika behind him. Still smiling, he began to speak.

"I've come here to see our rising star of the Navy, Colonel Uchiha Chika."

It really was him. Fine, you big shots can have your fun, just don't drag me into this. As soon as Ambust realized he wasn't there to see her, he wisely turned and left the office, gently closing the door behind him.

As soon as Ambusher left, Chiga spoke up.

"May I ask what business Ms. Stussy has with me?"

Stussy smiled and shook his head, pointing a finger at Kalifa beside him.

"Although I also wanted to see this year's rising naval stars, I'm not the main character this time. My task is to bring her to you. Let me introduce her. Her name is Kalifa, and she will be your secretary during your time in Sabaody."

Upon being introduced, Kalifa immediately stood up and walked to Chiga, bowing deeply at a 90-degree angle. From Chiga's perspective, a deep chasm could be seen.

"Nice to meet you, Colonel Chiga. Please take care of me from now on."

Chiga didn't answer but looked at Stussy. Stussy knew this was a bit abrupt, after all, Chiga was only a colonel now, and having a secretary was rather ostentatious. However, she had already prepared an explanation.

"The government arranged for you to be Kalifa's secretary. She'll mainly be responsible for your daily life, including food, clothing, accommodation, and work-related matters. After all, you just came from training camp and don't have much experience yet. Sabaody is also a very special place. This is a kind gesture from the government."

Ha, that sounds nice, but they're really just here to spy on me, to see if I have the potential to be a loyal dog? But knowing that is one thing, I have no reason to refuse right now.

Thinking of this, Chika helped Kalifa, who was still bowing, to her feet, and extended his hand to her. Kalifa looked at him with some confusion. Chika smiled and said,

"I'll be relying on you to take care of me from now on, Secretary Kalifa."

Chapter 41, No. 16, the Lawless Zone

Seeing Chiga's behavior, Stussy couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, thinking that Chiga was quite sensible, and his evaluation of him rose a little higher.

With her main task completed, Stussy prepared to leave. Before departing, she handed Chiga a card, winked at her, and left a message saying that she should come find her whenever she wanted to relax in the entertainment district. Then she left.

After Stusi left, only Chiga and Kalifa remained in the office. Kalifa, as expected of an intelligence agent who had received special training since childhood, quickly got into the role of a secretary. She brought Chiga a cup of hot tea and then stood respectfully to the side to ask Chiga if he had any instructions.

Chiga was experiencing a secretary's services for the first time, which was quite novel. Although the secretary was actually a spy, she still received all the expected services.

After thinking it over, Chiga asked Kalifa to organize all the events, big and small, that were happening in the Sabaody Archipelago. He needed to get a general understanding of the current situation; he couldn't just stay here and wait to die for a year, could he?

After receiving the task, Kalifa quietly went down to organize the data. Before long, she carried in a stack of data that was half her height and placed it on Chiga's desk.

It has to be said that her efficiency is truly outstanding. Chiga thought to herself that if she weren't from the World Government, she would definitely have made her her real secretary.

Setting aside his random thoughts, Chiga looked down and examined the information Kalifa had compiled. He had also gained a lot of useful information from this material.

For example, areas 1-29 of the Sabaody Archipelago are mainly places where shady transactions occur, such as human trafficking and illegal zones. The Celestial Dragons also like to go there to buy slaves.

After looking at it for a while, Qianhe closed the documents in his hand, stood up, and said to Kalifa,

"Get ready, come with me to area 16."

Kalifa immediately notified a squad of marines to stand by, then fetched a white suit for Chiga to wear, and followed closely behind Chiga as they headed toward Area 16.

As soon as Chiga stepped into Area 16, she keenly sensed that she was being stared at by a number of menacing eyes. It seemed that there was a reason why this place was called a lawless zone; the Navy's identity had limited deterrent effect here.

Chiga strolled down the street as if taking a walk, and faint cries and screams could be heard, probably from slaves being sold or pirates who were double-crossing each other.

Chiga wouldn't meddle in the slave trade. Since it could exist under the noses of the World Government and the Navy for so long, it must be supported by someone behind it. Neither the Celestial Dragons nor other World Government officials would allow anyone to disrupt such a transaction.

For now, all Chiga can do is to be a good Marine. He can deal with the rest when he has more power and a higher status.

Meanwhile, inside a house on the side of the street, a group of pirates had been watching Chiga and his group for a long time.

In the center of the room sat a thin, short man, chugging a beer jug ​​almost as big as himself. A henchman stepped out through the window and respectfully addressed the short man.

"Captain Jerry, those navy men aren't doing anything; they're just standing there like they're taking a stroll."

The short man, Captain Jerry he mentioned, captain of the Blood Rat Pirates with a bounty of 120 million Berries, put down his beer, wiped his mouth, and said in an extremely high-pitched voice upon hearing his subordinate's report.

"Who's in charge? Ambusher?"

"I don't recognize him. He seems to be a stranger. He's with a woman behind him, and she's quite pretty!"

A beautiful woman? Upon hearing this, Jerry's alcohol-induced haze immediately cleared.

What does a beautiful woman mean here? She's practically a walking Pele! These past few years, the supply has been dwindling, and the quality has been terrible. Hearing about a beautiful woman, he immediately rushed to the window, pushed aside his henchmen, and started looking around.

Through the window, he immediately spotted Kalifa behind Chihiro. Kalifa's exquisite figure and cold, beautiful face instantly earned her the label of "top-tier." He then glanced at Chihiro in front of Kalifa and smiled disdainfully.

"So young and already a colonel, another spoiled brat trying to climb the ranks, huh? Too bad you had bad luck coming here of all places. I'll gladly accept your squad of marines' weapons and the woman behind you. You'd better watch out next time!"

After saying that, he ordered a group of henchmen to rush out of the house, block Qianhe and his group, and arrogantly pointed at Qianhe, saying...

"Kid, this isn't a place for a brat like you. If you know what's good for you, hand over the woman and weapons behind you, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me, Blood Rat Jerry, for being impolite!"

"Blood Rat Jerry?"

Chiga frowned, not expecting to encounter someone who would come to deliver themselves to him while on patrol. Kalifa pushed up her glasses and dutifully told Chiga about Jerry.

"Blood Rat Jerry, with a bounty of 120 million, possesses a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Rat-Rat Fruit, and is in the form of a giant rat. He enjoys robbing and torturing women and has been keen on the slave trade in recent years."

After listening with his arms crossed, Qianhe thought to himself that Jerry was indeed a complete scumbag. In that case, he wouldn't give him the chance to enter the Deep Sea Prison.

Thinking of this, Chihe lowered his hands, preparing to deal with the rat. Kalifa saw Chihe's actions and her gaze narrowed slightly.

Is it time to make a move? Chiga's abilities and strength were also a key target for her observation, but the result was going to disappoint her.

Chiga was indeed about to make a move, but he was stopped by Medici on his shoulder. Medici meowed.

"Master, please leave this mouse to me."

"Hmm? Are you confident? This guy's bounty isn't low."

"Don't worry, Master, I've got it covered. What can he do when he's just a mouse?"

Chiga thought about it and agreed. Since Medici was born, it had never made a move. This was a good opportunity to see its strength.

So, Kalifa, who was waiting in the back, didn't get to see Chiga make a move. Instead, she saw the black cat on his shoulder jump out and land in front of Jerry and the other pirates.

What's going on here? Not only Kalifa and the marines, but even the opposing pirate crew were completely baffled. What's the meaning of sending a pet out in this situation?

Jerry, however, was jolted awake. He didn't know why, but the moment he saw the black cat, the hairs on his body stood on end, and he felt an involuntary, deep-seated fear.

He shook his head, wondering what was wrong with him. It was just a pet cat; even if he was a Rat-Rat Fruit user, he shouldn't be so afraid of this thing.

Mordis, having landed on all fours, let out a loud meow, and a ball of black flame immediately enveloped her. The black flame that enveloped Mordis grew larger and larger, stopping only after it reached the size of a small house.

As the black flames dissipated, everyone present was shocked to see that the original pet cat had disappeared, and in its place appeared a black demon cat with black flames flickering on its body.

Medici licked her lips, her large eyes fixed on Jerry, and Qianhe heard her voice in his mind.

"Master, I'm starting!"

Chapter 42 Mordice's First Battle

Jerry's unease grew stronger, especially after Mordis adopted a fighting stance.

"Damn it, what's wrong with this cat?"

Needless to say, the surrounding pirate crew members were stunned into standing still, too afraid to move, by the chilling aura emanating from Medici.

If this continues, there's no point in fighting anymore; we might as well just surrender. Jerry didn't dare to be careless and activated his Devil Fruit ability, transforming into a half-beast. His entire body instantly swelled several times its original size, his originally thin body grew to the size of a normal person, and gray fur grew on his body. Most notably, his pair of front teeth became enormous, gleaming with a cold light.

However, seeing his posture only excited Mordis even more. She instantly rushed in front of Jerry, her claws wreathed in black flames, and swung them fiercely. The enormous cat claws were almost as big as Jerry's half-beast form. Jerry also hardened his beast-form claws and held them horizontally in front of his chest, trying to block the attack.

Sizzle! A teeth-grinding scraping sound rang out as Jerry was slapped away by Mordis, crashing through several houses before disappearing into a cloud of dust.

Kalifa, standing next to Chiga, pressed her finger to the center of her glasses, looking warily at Medici, who had just displayed such power. Judging from the strength and speed of her attack, this cat's combat strength had surpassed her own, who had received special agent training since childhood.

Where did Uchiha Chika get this kind of thing? In Kalifa's eyes, Chika's existence became increasingly mysterious.

Back to the battle,

An explosion rang out, and Jerry jumped out from a pile of rubble and bricks. He was in a terrible state. His shirt had already been stretched out of shape due to his beast form, leaving him with only pants. Now, his pants were almost ruined and could barely cover his buttocks.

The worst part was his chest, where several deep scratches lay across the wounds, but strangely, no blood flowed out; the wounds were sealed with a layer of solid ice.

These solid ice crystals weren't there to stop the bleeding. Only Jerry knew that a bone-chilling cold was constantly seeping into his body through the wound. He could feel his blood flow slowing down and his consciousness becoming somewhat blurred.

Slapping himself across the face, Jerry felt a little more awake. He looked seriously at Mordis, who was slowly licking her paws not far away. He knew that if this battle dragged on any longer, he would die here today. The young marine behind them hadn't even made a move yet.

If even a pet cat is this strong, how strong must its owner be? He dared not think any further. All he could do now was use his strongest move to end the battle quickly and then find a chance to escape.

Thinking of this, Jerry activated his Devil Fruit power even more frantically, his body swelled up even more, his eyes turned blood red, his nose protruded, his ears stretched out, and his front teeth rapidly became enormous. His entire posture changed to being on all fours.

This is the complete beast form of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit. At this moment, Jerry has completely transformed into a giant gray rat with huge front teeth.

With two sharp squeaks, his two large white front teeth were covered with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki. It was his strongest move, Blood Rat - Black Tooth.

Aiming at Medici's neck, he suddenly pushed off with his hind legs and shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. His speed was so fast that no one present could see his figure clearly, except for Qianhe.

Chiga looked at Jerry, who had completely turned into a big gray rat, and thought that the improvement in physical fitness after a Zoan-type fully transforms into a beast was still quite remarkable. At this speed, he had to focus his attention a little to see him clearly.
