Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

No one could see what that hand was doing. The Hungry Ghost Path ability was activated, and the power of the Devil Fruit was absorbed into its body.

As the new power entered his body, Chiho's pupil power immediately surged, and the intense fluctuations made him instinctively cover his right eye.

With a crack, the ice that had bound Rayleigh shattered, and with a flip, Rayleigh landed not far in front of Chiga, looking at him with a somewhat solemn expression. His intuition told him that during the short time he had been frozen, some dangerous change had occurred in Chiga.

"Ha...haha, hahahahahahaha!"

Chiga, who was covering her eyes, burst into wild laughter. Rayleigh, who was not aware of what was going on, felt a chill run down his spine and unconsciously tightened his grip on his sword.

After laughing for a while, Chika slowly lowered the hand covering his right eye. In that right Rinnegan, another black tomoe had appeared, and a cold voice emanated from his mouth.

"The real show is just beginning, Hades, Rayleigh."

Chapter 48 Super Shinra Tensei and the Heavenly Obstruction Star

Seeing Chiga's strange behavior, Rayleigh didn't dare to make any rash moves, after all, Chiga's endless moves had left an indelible impression on him.

Meanwhile, Chiga was making the most of the time to digest the power of the Gravity Fruit she had just acquired.

Chiga discovered that the most significant effect of absorbing the Gravity Fruit this time was the surge in eye power, especially the power of the Heavenly Path.

Based on his current abilities, he was confident that if he were to unleash a Universal Pull or Shinra Tensei on an opponent of Kake's caliber, even if Kake used Armament Haki to protect his internal organs, he would be severely injured immediately.

Furthermore… Chiga looked up at the sky and could sense that the power of the Rinnegan could now penetrate the atmosphere and reach the universe. This meant that he could now use a skill with extraordinary destructive power.

Without keeping Rayleigh waiting for long, Chiga raised his hand and activated Universal Pull once again. This time, the power of Universal Pull was so great that even Rayleigh was finding it difficult to withstand.

Rayleigh slammed his sword into the ground, using the resistance of the soil to prevent himself from being pulled in by the Universal Heaven. However, the giant trees and rocks behind him did not have this ability and all of them rapidly converged in the direction of the gravity.

During this process, Rayleigh's back was constantly struck and shattered by various hard objects, forcing him to cover his back with a layer of Armament Haki.

He's getting old, and he can't withstand that kind of attack for long on his own.

Countless fragments of giant trees and rocks gathered in front of Chiga's palm, eventually compressing and condensing into a huge sphere. Chiga's eyes widened suddenly, and Shinra Tensei erupted. The giant sphere was instantly launched and smashed hard towards Rayleigh.

Seeing this, Rayleigh dared not be careless. He pulled his sword from the ground, swung it horizontally, and collided with the giant sphere that was flying towards him.

Rayleigh thought that his strike could easily cleave a sphere made of rotten wood and rubble, but was that really the case?

The sword energy left a deep sword mark after hitting the sphere, but the sphere was not split in two and continued to fly rapidly towards Rayleigh.

Damn, was such an extremely dense object created through powerful compression?

The reason was that he had figured it out, but the giant sphere was about to make close contact with him.

Rayleigh's face darkened, and a surge of energy flowed from his arm holding the sword into his hilt. The sword, now enveloped in energy, began to flash with red and black lightning, emanating an extremely terrifying aura.

"Pluto - Void Breaker!"

A slash, crackling with black lightning and amplified several times in power, was unleashed and collided with Chiga's attack once more. This time, the sphere was shattered the instant it made contact with the slash.

After shattering the sphere, the slash continued its momentum, heading straight for Chiga.

"This power... it's Conqueror's Haki, isn't it? I, Uchiha Chika, acknowledge you. Among all the enemies I've encountered, I'd call you... alright!"

Chiga originally wanted to say the strongest, but then she thought that there was still a long road ahead, and saying it now would lose its meaning later.

"Heh, putting everything else aside, you're really stubborn. If you can handle it, then take this hit and show me!"

Rayleigh believed that even if Chiga had increased his strength through some means, he still couldn't withstand Rayleigh's attack, which was imbued with Conqueror's Haki.

He had even turned his gaze to Kalifa in the distance, wondering whether he should also deal with that woman.

At this time, Rayleigh still had the ferocity he had during his pirate days. After being provoked by Chiga several times, he had already decided to kill her.

Kalifa felt a chill run down her spine. She could sense Rayleigh's murderous intent. When Rayleigh's gaze locked onto her, she felt as if her heart was about to stop beating.

However, she had a strange confidence in Chiga that she would be fine today, and she didn't know where this confidence in Chiga came from.

But whenever Chiga's eyes appeared in her mind, she felt a strong sense of security.

Forcibly dragging her stiff body, Kalifa retreated several hundred meters again. She knew that the only thing she could do now was not to be a burden to Chiga.

If Rayleigh wanted to stop him, he could at least hold him off for a little while, giving Chiga some time, even if it was just a few seconds.

As long as Chiga lives, there is hope for a change in the situation; if Chiga fails, then she will not be able to escape death on her own.

Looking at Chiga's side, seeing the incoming slash, Chiga stretched out his arms in a straight line, and terrifying eye power brewed in his eyes.

Finally, just as the slash was about to hit Chiga, an extremely strong repulsive force erupted from Chiga's body.

"Super Shinra Tenzheng!"

In an instant, time seemed to stand still. The terrifying repulsive force, like a tidal wave, swallowed up everything within a radius of several kilometers, leaving nothing but barren land in its wake.

After a long while, the attack stopped, a pile of rubble suddenly exploded, and Rayleigh jumped out from it.

As soon as he appeared, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Even though he used Armament Haki to protect his body immediately, the Super Shinra Tensei had still caused him considerable internal injuries.

However, he had no time to care about his injuries. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to kill Chiga.

If this talented young navy officer were allowed to grow, he would become a monster far more terrifying than the current three admirals.

Conqueror's Haki surged wildly toward the sword in Rayleigh's hand. The sword emitted a low hum, its blade trembled incessantly, and denser black lightning covered its surface. Rayleigh made up his mind, determined to cut Chiga down with a single blow.

However, this time Chiga wouldn't give him another chance to build up his strength. He looked up at the sky, then used several teleportations to find Kalifa, who was covered in dust and dirt, a kilometer away, and pulled her into his arms.

This time, Kalifa naturally leaned against Chiga's chest, feeling her burning heartbeat, and whispered,

"Did you win?"

Chika smiled and shook her head, saying,

"You overestimate me. I am no match for him now, but I will kill him with my own hands sooner or later. A dead Hades is more valuable than a living Hades."

"I believe you, but will he really just let us leave like this?"

Chiga turned and glanced behind her, saying meaningfully,

“He will. I’ve saved him one, no, two very important gifts.”

Kalifa tilted her head slightly, looking a little confused, but she obediently rested her head on Chiga's shoulder again and remained silent.

Chiga glanced at the ground beneath her feet, activated Yomotsu Hirasaka, and a black hole appeared. Chiga, holding Kalifa, plunged into it.

Meanwhile, Rayleigh wanted to launch an attack as soon as he saw Chiga preparing to leave. The power of this attack was already sufficient. However, just as he was about to make a move, his Observation Haki sent out an extremely dangerous signal.

He looked up abruptly, and the sight that met his eyes left him frozen in place.

Above the sky, a giant meteorite with a diameter of two hundred meters has broken through the clouds and is hurtling towards the ground.

This catastrophic phenomenon was witnessed not only by Rayleigh, but also by people in other areas several miles away.

"Look, what is that?"

"My God, it's a meteorite!"

"How could there be a meteorite here? That's terrifying!"

Compared to ordinary people, some powerful individuals hidden in various regions felt that things were not so simple. Meteorites never appeared in Sabaody Archipelago, so the occurrence of this phenomenon itself was strange.

Sure enough, what happened next confirmed their suspicions.

Just as the meteorite was about to hit the ground, a terrifying slash appeared, instantly splitting the meteorite in two. The one who made the slash was Rayleigh, and that slash was originally intended for Chiga.

Rayleigh unleashed another slash imbued with Conqueror's Haki, and the aging Rayleigh's breathing became somewhat rapid, yet he still dared not relax, for the warning from his Observation Haki had not yet ceased.

Sure enough, a booming sound rang out, and a meteorite twice the size of the previous one appeared, falling towards the same location.

With a wry smile, Rayleigh had no choice but to straighten up and use Conqueror's Haki Entanglement again. This time, because the meteorite was larger, he had to unleash it twice in a row.

As the two strikes were unleashed, the second meteorite shattered and fell to the ground with a deafening roar.

Rayleigh, supporting himself on his sword with one hand, plopped down on the ground, looked up at the spot where Chiga had disappeared, and muttered to himself.

"Captain Roger, it seems I've left the next generation an incredible naval monster!"

Chapter 49 Stone Comparison and Sale

Sabaody Archipelago, Area 16, Naval Base

With a whoosh, a black hole suddenly appeared in Chiga's office, and a man and a woman walked out of it; it was Chiga and Kalifa.

Emerging from the black hole, Chika stumbled, startling Kalifa beside her. Kalifa quickly steadied Chika and asked with concern, "..."

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Chiga's face was a little pale, but she still smiled and said,

"It's nothing, I'm just a bit exhausted. I just need to rest for a bit. And with your concern as my secretary, I'm already feeling much better."

Kalifa gently patted Chika and said reproachfully,

"You're in such a state and you still have the mind to joke around? Go and get some rest."

After saying that, she helped Qianhe to a seat, turned around and poured Qianhe a cup of hot tea. She gently blew on it a few times, and when she felt that the temperature of the tea had dropped slightly, she carefully brought the tea to Qianhe's lips, indicating that Qianhe should drink some hot tea.

Chiga obediently took a few sips, and seeing this, Kalifa couldn't help but feel a surge of tenderness. She went behind the chair and started massaging Chiga, wanting to help Chiga relax her muscles.

Enjoying the massage from Kalifa's delicate hands with her eyes closed, Chika suddenly spoke after a while.

"Alright, you still have work to do, right? News of my battle with Rayleigh will spread soon, and it wouldn't be good for you if your work was slow."

Her hands paused slightly, and Kalifa slowly spoke.

"I should take care of you first. You saved my life this time, didn't you?"

Chika held Kalifa's hand, turned her head and said earnestly to Kalifa,

“I’m fine now. Go do your job. Besides, letting the government know my current strength might not be a bad thing for me.”

"But……"

"obedient."

"All right……"

Kalifa stopped insisting and prepared to go about her work. As she reached the door, she glanced back at Chiga, who gave her a reassuring smile. She quickly turned away, closed the door, and left.

After Kalifa left, Chiga closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the three tomoe in his right Rinnegan suddenly enlarged and then shrank back to their original size.

Qianhe's pale face instantly turned rosy, and he became energetic, showing no signs of his previous weakness.

The reason for this effect is the pupil technique in Chiga's right eye during her Mangekyou Sharingan period, called Ishigami Hiei.
