Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

The documents on Sengoku's desk were scattered all over the floor by the gust of wind created when Chiga left, but he didn't have time to care about that. He immediately summoned Aokiji and ordered him to quickly lead a ship of soldiers to meet Zefu.

……

On a calm sea, a huge head suddenly emerged from the surface. A serpentine sea king, over a hundred meters long, burst out of the water, with a giant whale in its mouth.

With a forceful bite, the whale's carcass was torn in two and swallowed by the serpentine sea king.

The sea king, having had a hearty meal, smacked its lips a few times in a human-like manner, and was about to sink to the surface when suddenly, a black dot that was growing larger in the distant sky caught its attention.

It squinted its huge eyes, trying to see what it was. However, the tiny black dot suddenly expanded, and it finally realized that the black dot was a human. This was its last thought.

"Go away!"

puff!

Chiga smashed the sea king's head into a pile of minced meat, and for a moment, a shower of blood rained down on the sea.

This delay caused Chiga, who had been flying at high speed for some time, to stop. His face was now terribly gloomy.

This sea area is so vast that even with the Rinnegan's perception and Observation Haki, Chiga still couldn't find any trace of Zephyr's ship.

"Damn it, are Professor Zephyr and those students destined to suffer this calamity?"

He regretted not leaving a Flying Thunder God Technique for Zephyr. Was it Zephyr's strength that made him overlook it?

Chiga slammed his fist into the sea, sending hundreds of tons of seawater flying into the sky and turning into a rain shower.

Chiga shuddered as seawater dripped onto his face, and a technique he had overlooked suddenly came to mind: the Rain Tiger Free Technique.

The Rain Tiger Free Technique, in Naruto, is a technique where Pain uses chakra to create rain clouds, then infuses the rain with chakra, allowing him to perceive everything within range through the falling rain. It couldn't be more perfect for the present moment.

Chiga closed his eyes, interlocked his fingers, raised his middle and index fingers, and activated the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique.

As the technique was activated, the sky over the sea area within a radius of several hundred kilometers was clear one second, and the next second it was covered with dark clouds and dense rain poured down.

After calming down and sensing for a while, a small cluster of life energy appeared in one location, with one of the fluctuations already very weak.

Upon receiving the information, Qianhe immediately opened his eyes, activated his Heavenly Dao ability once again, and his figure instantly disappeared into the sky above the sea.

……

In another sea area, on a lifeboat,

A group of naval soldiers wearing blue and white striped vests were gathered together, among whom were many familiar faces, including Bridge, Groves, and Binz.

At this moment, they were all covered in blood, more or less, clearly having just experienced a fierce battle.

However, none of them cared about their own injuries; they just watched sadly as a blonde female marine hugged another navy blue-haired female marine and wept bitterly.

The two female marines are Ein and her roommate, whose name is Alice.

Ain, held in Alice's arms, was in bad shape. Her eyes were half-closed, and her long eyelashes trembled constantly due to the pain in her body. There was a terrible wound across her abdomen, from which blood was constantly gushing out.

"No, Ain, don't sleep! We'll be back at headquarters soon! Damn it, why is it suddenly raining!"

Alice kept shouting at Ain, her face wet with rain and tears. She desperately tried to stop the bleeding with one hand, but the wound was too big. No matter how hard Alice tried, blood kept seeping from between her fingers.

Some of the other trainees couldn't bear to watch any longer, and some even turned away and silently shed tears. It can be said that Ai Yin deserves a lot of credit for the fact that the remaining trainees have been able to hold on until now.

It was originally just a sea exercise, and it was led by former Admiral Zephyr. No one expected this to happen.

As they sailed to a certain sea area, they encountered Edward Weevil, the second Whitebeard, and SS Bakkin.

Upon seeing the ship full of new recruits, Weevil immediately took action under the orders of SS Bakkin, but was stopped by Zephyr.

However, Zephyr was getting old and his health was failing. He also had to protect the students behind him. He was careless and was injured by Weevil. It was Ain who used his Devil Fruit power to temporarily stop Zephyr's injury and even turned back Zephyr's age by 8 years (his abilities were developed more deeply).

It was Ain's actions that caught the attention of SS Bakkin, leading Weevil to risk taking a punch from Zephyr to eliminate this female Marine with special abilities.

It was under these circumstances that Ain was struck in the waist by Weevil, and immediately fell into a coma due to her serious injury. Because of her coma, Zephyr's abilities also became ineffective, and he was once again at a disadvantage in the battle with Weevil.

But Ain managed to wake up and forcefully activated her ability to help Zephyr go back eight years, and then she maintained her consciousness as the remaining Marines brought her here.

Upon hearing Alice's call, Ain opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, causing Alice to cry even harder.

Ayn reached out with trembling hands, touched a package placed beside her, picked it up, and handed it to Alice.

Alice, wiping away her tears, took the package and asked,

"What is this? When you left the warship, you made sure Bridge brought it to you. Is it something important?"

Seeing Alice accept the package, Ain breathed a sigh of relief and said weakly,

"This is the Devil Fruit I obtained during the assessment. Give it to Chiga when we get back; it was originally meant for him..."

"Why didn't you hand it to me yourself?"

As the sound rang out, a figure landed on the ship; it was Chiga who had rushed over.

With Chiga's arrival, the dark clouds that had filled the sky just moments before vanished in an instant, and sunlight shone through the clouds onto everyone's faces.

Chapter 63 Whitebeard II

"It's Uchiha Chika!"

"Boss Qianhe!"

Everyone on the ship was stunned when they saw Qianhe suddenly appear. After they came to their senses, the students and roommates who recognized Qianhe rushed over.

Seeing Qianhe at this moment was like seeing a savior for them, but Qianhe still waved his hand, pushed everyone aside, and came to Ai Yin's side.

Holding Ain's already cold hand, Qianhe spoke gently.

"Sorry, I am late."

Ai Yin forced a smile, her eyes filled with Qian He.

"It's not your fault, I'm just too weak, I'll never catch up with you."

Shaking his head, Chika carefully took Ain from Alice's arms and let her lean against him.

Ai Yin moved her head slightly, her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred. She took a few deep breaths, and with trembling hands, she raised her hand to stroke Qian He's face. With her last bit of strength, she managed to utter a sound, afraid that if she didn't say something soon, it would be too late.

"I think this is the end for me, Chika. Actually, I've always had feelings for you, I've always longed for you, I..."

"Stop talking. I understand what you mean. Now you just need to look me in the eye."

"Um……"

Even as she was about to lose consciousness, Ai-yin subconsciously obeyed Chi-ga's words and tried her best to open her eyes wide to look at Chi-ga.

The four tomoe in Chiga's right Rinnegan suddenly contracted and expanded, and Ishigami activated. Four tomoe briefly appeared in Ain's eyes, and she felt a cool aura instantly fill her body.

The others on the ship stared in disbelief at Ai Yin in Chiga's arms.

Before their very eyes, the horrific wound on Ain's lower abdomen was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her pale face was turning rosy. To them, this was nothing short of a miracle!

Ai Yin, who was directly involved, suddenly sat up from Qian He's arms and looked down at her lower abdomen in disbelief. Although the bloodstains were still there, the skin there was completely intact.

"Alright, if you have anything to say, wait until we get back to Marine Headquarters and you can tell me in person, understand?"

Ai Yin stared blankly at Qian He, then nodded subconsciously. Just as she was about to say something, a loud bang drew the attention of everyone on the ship.

Chika turned her head to look in the direction the sound came from, and Ai-in beside her said worriedly,

"It's Professor Zephyr. He's still fighting that pirate. That pirate is incredibly strong. I wonder how Professor Zephyr is doing."

Hearing this, Qianhe turned around, patted Ai Yin on the shoulder, and said with a smile,

"The battle that's about to start might spread here, so you should leave immediately."

Upon hearing Qianhe's words, before Ai Yin could speak, the others on the ship hurriedly spoke up.

"Chiga-sama, that pirate is really terrifying. Even Zephyr-sensei is having a hard time dealing with him. Let's hurry up and find reinforcements!"

"Yes, Chiga, you are Zephyr's favorite student. He wouldn't want you to face such danger!"

Since everyone else had said so, Ai Yin didn't say anything more, but looked at Qian He with a pleading look in her eyes.

Having witnessed Weevil's battle with Zephyr and having a certain understanding of Weevil's strength, she was the last person who wanted Chiga to face such an opponent.

However, Chiga certainly cannot do as they wish. Helping Zephyr overcome this calamity was his goal from the beginning, so how could he give up just because the enemy is strong?

For the Uchiha clan, who value emotions above all else, this is absolutely impossible.

Chika turned her back to everyone and raised a hand to signal them to stop talking.

His navy coat fluttered in the sea breeze, and the two large characters for "justice" stood out prominently.

"I am leaving."

Leaving behind just three simple words, Qianhe's figure shot straight into the sky, flying towards the direction from which the sound had come.

the other side,

Another loud bang shook the sea, splitting it open and creating a deep crack. Two figures fell from the sky and landed on the deck of a badly damaged warship.

Zefa, panting heavily, stared solemnly at the seemingly tireless "monster" before him, his mind preoccupied with the group of Ain who had just escaped under his cover.

Across from Zephyr, Whitebeard Jr., Edward Weevil, shouted with a dazed expression.

"Mom, this guy is really strong, he's going to be tough to deal with!"

On a small boat beside the warship, a short man wearing a leopard-print coat...

Weevil's attack was also deflected by the laser beam, striking the railing beside him and creating a huge crack on the already damaged side of the warship.

Below, SS Bakin narrowed her eyes, thinking,

"Laser? Could it be Kizaru? We need to find a way to retreat."

Although Weevil is strong, she is absolutely no match for the combined strength of Zephyr and Kizaru. She is well aware of the capabilities of her idiot son.

Chapter 64 Asura Fruit - Dharma of Heaven and Earth

Shortly after the laser appeared, a whooshing sound rang out, and Chiga appeared above the deck.

"Chiga!? What are you doing here!?"

Zephyr felt no joy at the sight of Chiga; instead, he was terrified.

I'm already badly injured from risking my life to save some students. In my current state, can I still save Qianhe?

In his view, although Chiga had injured Rayleigh, it was clearly an exaggeration of the battle, and it was only an injury.
