Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

"We'll talk about you joining the army when you're older. Tell me first what Ah Long just said?"

Mentioning this, Nami's hatred intensified, and she immediately embellished the story of Colonel Rat to Chiga. Nojiko, standing beside her, nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes, knowing that with Chiga there, she wouldn't suffer any injustice.

Qianhe's expression also turned cold. He silently stood up, glanced in one direction, and then asked,

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle this. How is Grandma Lisa?"

Bellemere said weakly,

“Grandma Lisa is safe. As soon as I received the message from the Arlong Pirates, I contacted the villagers and hid her and some of the village’s elderly in a secret room.”

Nodding, Chiga breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Bellemere to express his gratitude.

Bellemere struggled to her feet, trying to stop Chiga, and said,

"No, you saved us all, what I did was nothing!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers who had been somewhat frightened stepped forward and spoke up.

"Yes, Chika, you are a hero to our entire village!"

"I'm sorry, we were also startled just now, and we haven't had a chance to express our gratitude to you yet!"

"Ah, thank goodness for you, Chika!"

Chiga stared silently at the group of simple villagers before him, his anger growing ever stronger. His body slowly floated up, he closed his eyes to sense his surroundings, and then shot off in a certain direction.

Below, Nami tugged at Bellemere's sleeve with some concern and asked,

"Bellmere, why did Chiga leave so soon? Where did he go?"

Bellemere stared in the direction where Chiga had disappeared, her voice filled with hatred.

"He went to purge the scum in the navy!"

Chapter 55 Colonel Mouse

East China Sea Naval Base No. 16

In the office, Colonel Mouse stared at a small box of treasure on the table with gleaming eyes, his saliva already soaking the documents on the table.

He pushed aside the soaking wet documents, clutched the chest full of treasure tightly to his chest, and carefully counted the gold and jewels inside, muttering incantations.

"Pirates are so generous! I couldn't accumulate this much treasure even if I worked in the Navy for several years!"

"Does it look good?"

A voice suddenly appeared in the office, startling Colonel Mouse so much that he trembled and dropped the box full of treasure he was carrying, scattering various items all over the floor.

Chika stood with her arms crossed at the office door, behind her a group of naval soldiers holding guns. However, the soldiers looked unwell, and their legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Just now, Chiga descended from the sky, and the surrounding marines immediately surrounded him. However, Chiga didn't move at all, but only slightly released a bit of Conqueror's Haki. The group of marines rolled their eyes and fell to the ground, and they haven't woken up yet.

The remaining naval soldiers dared not go forward. They knew they were no match for the man before them, but their military status still compelled them to follow Chiga all the way to Colonel Rat's office.

At this moment, Colonel Rat lay on the ground, frantically trying to gather the scattered treasures with his hands. But the more he tried, the more unruly the treasures became. Every time he tried to gather them with his arms, a few pieces of gold or something similar would always slip out from between the gaps.

The naval soldiers behind Chiga looked at their commander, who was lying on the ground looking utterly disheveled, and they all lowered their heads in shame. To be honest, they all knew more or less about the rat colonel's behavior, and every one of them looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts. But there was nothing they could do. Rank can crush a person. Who told him to be the highest-ranking officer here?

Seeing that using his arms was inefficient, Colonel Rat began to pick up the gold pieces on the ground one by one with his hands. As he picked them up, his hand touched a pair of shoes. He looked up somewhat blankly and met Chiga's lowered Rinnegan eyes.

As if he had seen something terrifying, Colonel Rat plopped down on the ground, staring blankly at Chika, and stammered, "..."

"You...who are you?"

Chiga looked at this scum of the navy with an expression of utter disdain, and said indifferently,

"Naval Headquarters Captain, Uchiha Chika."

"Are you a Marine?"

Upon hearing that the visitor was also from the Navy, Colonel Rat breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, since the visitor was from the Navy, there was no major problem. After all, they were colleagues, weren't they?

Thinking this, Colonel Mouse calmly stood up, patted his own backside, then placed his palms together in front of his chest, and approached with a fawning smile, asking,

"So it's Colonel Chiga from headquarters. May I ask what brings you here?"

It's worth mentioning here that even though the officers at the Navy Headquarters and those in these branch offices have the same rank, their status and strength are on completely different levels. Moreover, Chiga is still so young. If he doesn't realize Chiga's importance, then he's been wasting all these years.

You should know that he was able to get to the position of colonel in the naval division by being good at reading people and flattering them. Otherwise, with his lack of ability, he would only be able to slowly accumulate seniority and eventually become a lieutenant.

Moreover, in his view, no matter how high Qianhe's status was, he was still just a young man. A few flattering words from him would make him arrogant and perhaps even advance his own career.

However, he was met with a slap in the face from Chiga.

*Slap!* A loud slap echoed in the small office. Colonel Mouse spun around ten times before finally stopping. He then covered his face, which was swollen like a soccer ball, and looked at Qianhe in disbelief.

"What are you doing? I'm a Navy soldier!"

Hearing this guy actually dare to call himself a Marine, Chiga was so angry she laughed.

Chiga took out a serrated nose from the doorway, with fresh blood still clinging to it.

Chiga held the nose up and waved it in front of Colonel Rat.

Upon seeing the object in Chiga's hand, Colonel Rat's pupils constricted. He recognized it as A-Long's nose. At this point, even the shrewd Colonel understood Chiga's purpose in coming to him, and fell silent for a moment.

Chika pinched A-Long's nose in her hand and stared at him as she spoke.

"Navy? How disgusting it is to hear that word come out of your mouth. I ask you, when you accepted bribes from pirates, did you ever think about the fact that you were a navy officer?"

Upon hearing this, the marines behind Chiga widened their eyes. They knew that Captain Rat had a bad reputation, but reputation was one thing, accepting bribes, especially bribes from pirates, was a matter of principle. The impact of this on their sense of justice was unimaginable.

A naval soldier asked, his voice trembling.

"Colonel Mouse, is what Commander Chiga said true?"

Even now, this upright naval soldier still harbors a sliver of hope, and even when speaking, he still gives Captain Rat face, at least he doesn't call Chiga "Colonel".

Colonel Rat, no longer caring about anything else, shouted at the group of naval soldiers, his voice trembling with fear.

"Of course it's not true. I am the highest-ranking officer here. I now suspect that this person is not a navy officer at all. Arrest this guy immediately!"

Hearing their superior's order, the soldiers were in a dilemma. In fact, they were more inclined to support Chiga, since Colonel Rat's usual conduct was really too bad.

Chiga ignored the soldiers behind him; he no longer wanted to waste any more time with this scum of the navy.

In a flash, Chika appeared in front of Colonel Rat, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up like a chick.

Colonel Mouse was only a little over 1.8 meters tall, which already made him appear rather small next to the over 2-meter-tall Chiga. Now, being lifted into the air by Chiga, his legs could only kick wildly, and he kept yelling.

"Let me go! Let me go! Even if you're from headquarters, you have no right to punish me!"

"Oh? I have no right?"

Chiga looked disdainfully at the scoundrel in her hand, and with her other hand took out a Den Den Mushi from her pocket and dialed the number in front of everyone present.

"Grumpy"

A few seconds later, the Den Den Mushi was answered, and the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi stunned everyone present except Chiga.

"I am Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you must be Chiga. Your affair with Rayleigh has caused quite a stir. What brings you to me now?"

Chapter 56 Hell Path

Sengoku's voice came through the Den Den Mushi, and just as Chiga was about to speak, Garp's voice came through again.

"Chika, you're quite something! You actually managed to injure Rayleigh, the Dark King. As expected of the person I brought back, haha..."

The laughter stopped abruptly as Sengoku regained control of the Den Den Mushi. He glanced at Garp, his eyes filled with contempt.

Here's the person you brought back. I was the one with the discerning eye who gave you this opportunity, and now you want to pat yourself on the back? Where were you before? Go spend a couple more days looking after your grandson!

After expressing his disdain for Garp, Sengoku fell silent in front of the Den Den Mushi, waiting for Chiga's reply. In his opinion, Chiga was always calm and confident in her actions, so her sudden call must be for something very important.

However, Chiga's next words caused his expression to change drastically, and Garp behind him also turned serious.

"Marshal Sengoku, I am now very disappointed with the navy."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. If anyone else had said this to him, he would have immediately rebuked them. After all, how could a Marine say he was disappointed in the Navy? What were his intentions?

But it would be different if these words came from Chiga's mouth. Chiga is now being regarded by Sengoku as his successor, and even the Five Elders have high hopes for him. For someone like him to say that he is disappointed in the Navy is a truly terrifying thing.

This is not only a blow to the overall reputation and morale of the Navy, but the loss of Chika is also an immeasurable loss for the Navy at present!

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo asked eagerly,

"What's wrong? What happened? Qianhe, don't panic. Where are you right now?"

"I am in the 16th Naval Branch in the East China Sea."

"Donghai? Weren't you in Sabaody? How did you end up there?"

It takes several days to travel from Sabaody Archipelago to the East Blue by warship, and not much time has passed since I received news of Chiga's battle with Hades in Sabaody Archipelago. How did Chiga reappear in the East Blue?

Without explaining how she arrived in the East Blue, Chiga spoke in a cold tone.

"How I got here is not important. What is important is that I witnessed the filth within the Navy. This Rat Captain here actually accepted bribes from the Arlong Pirates and allowed them to attack my village!"

"What did you say!?"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku was furious, and golden light emanated from his body. Garp, standing beside him, clenched his fist, a faint black light appearing on it.

Struggling to suppress his emotions, Sengoku spoke in an extremely restrained tone.

"I understand. Where is that rat colonel now? I have something to ask him."

Before Chiga could speak, the rat colonel, whose neck Chiga was choking, immediately shouted into the Den Den Mushi as if he had found a savior.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! I'm here! Help me! This Uchiha Chika attacked me without any evidence. Is this how the Marines should act? I'm a Marine myself!"

Upon hearing Colonel Rat's words, Sengoku frowned. He had never doubted Chiga's words, but as the supreme commander of the Navy, he was even less able to make judgments based on personal feelings.

For example, when Akainu ordered the shelling of civilian ships, Sengoku was just as angry as Aokiji, but from the perspective of the Navy and the World Government, Akainu's actions were understandable.

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo couldn't help but sigh, feeling somewhat troubled.

Garp, standing beside him, ignored all that and slammed his hand on the table, smashing it into a pile of fragments. Sengoku stared blankly at the "ruins" before him, only snapping out of his daze after a while, before glaring angrily at Garp.

Garp was now truly enraged. He retrieved the Den Den Mushi from the fragments and shouted,

"Qianhe, don't worry about what this bastard says. You can do whatever you want with this scoundrel. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens! Damn it!"

Sengoku looked at the emotionally charged Garp with a complicated expression. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then held back. He tacitly approved of Garp's actions. However, it was impossible for Garp to take the blame if anything went wrong. This matter would be taken by him, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
