Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

He directly activated the power of the Hungry Ghost Path. The black mass struggled as if trying to escape, but it was clearly powerless against the powerful suction of the Hungry Ghost Path and was directly sucked into Chiga's body.

As the power entered his body, Chiga immediately felt a strange energy within him. This energy then rushed into Chiga's eyes, eventually forming a black tomoe on the lines of his right eye.

Senga sensed something was wrong with his eyes. He used Water Release to create a small water curtain in the air, and through the water curtain, he saw an extra tomoe in his right eye.

"Isn't this Sasuke's Rinnegan with tomoe? Although it only has one tomoe." Chiga was overjoyed. He never expected that his Rinnegan could evolve again by absorbing the power of the Devil Fruit, and so easily at that!

“Based on Sasuke’s eyes, one Rinnegan can hold six tomoe. So I have a pair of Rinnegan, which means I can hold twelve tomoe, that is, I can absorb twelve Devil Fruits!” Chiga was really happy this time because he found the way to evolve the Rinnegan, which meant that he was one step closer to the level of the Sage of Six Paths.

With a casual gesture, a door appeared in front of Qianhe.

Chiga looked at the spatial portal in front of him with satisfaction, thinking, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. If this is the case, I can do what Blackbeard did, and I can do it even better!"

Having gained a lot from this battle, Chiga stopped thinking about it and looked at Brand in his hand.

As his soul was extracted, Brand's eyes rolled back, and he lost his life; he was as dead as could be.

He casually tossed Brand's body aside like trash, and Brand followed in the footsteps of the henchmen before him.

*Thud!* Another brand-new human-shaped meat pie appeared on the ground. As for why it didn't turn into mincemeat, well, what's wrong with a pirate captain who returned from the Grand Line? Is it a problem for him to be a little tough?

From the moment Brand made his move to the moment he was turned into a human meat pie, it was only a matter of less than five minutes. Before the pirates on the ground could even react, their captain had already become what they saw before them.

silence

Slowly, some of the pirates began to speak in trembling voices.

"Run...run!"

"Devil! He is a devil!"

"Why can he also use the captain's abilities?"

"Why are you still worrying about all this? If you want to avenge him, then go ahead. I'm running away!"

The pirates completely collapsed and scattered, fleeing like a swarm of headless flies.

"Tsk tsk, how disgusting." Looking at the rabble below, Chiga felt it was really ruining her mood, and wondered what ability she should use to clean them up.

"Well, let's use this trick."

Chiga's eyes lit up as she thought of a move: hands clasped together, index fingers raised, Chiga took a light breath, and then slowly exhaled.

"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"

A burst of flame erupted from Chiga's lips, instantly transforming into a sea of ​​fire that engulfed the entire pirate crew, rushing towards the fleeing pirates and consuming them in a flash.

"Fire! Fire!"

"Help me, it's so hot!"

"Am I dreaming? Can you please wake me up?!"

"Please, sir, spare my life! From now on, I'll be your most loyal subordinate—no! Your most loyal dog! Please spare my life!!"

"It's over, it's over! I never thought that our Brand Pirates would escape the Grand Line only to be wiped out in the weakest of the East Blues! Hahahaha!"

Desperate pleas for mercy, agonizing screams, and maniacal laughter echoed intermittently from within the sea of ​​flames.

Chiga frowned, realizing she had been too lenient, so she increased the pressure, and then the air fell silent.

As the flames subsided, only piles of charred human-shaped figures remained on the ground.

"We need to take these with us; they're all meritorious deeds." Chiga felt it was necessary to clean up the scene.

He slightly clenched his hand, and the charred remains on the ground were gathered together and continuously compressed to form a black sphere. Qianhe thoughtfully separated Brand's corpse, which was still somewhat recognizable.

Satisfied with her masterpiece, Chiga opened her spatial portal and tossed her "trophies" inside.

He casually tore down the Brand Pirates' flag, and then set the pirate ship on fire as well.

"Now everything is ready. I wonder if this will attract the attention of headquarters," Chiga thought to herself.

"Never mind, I'll just go and see what happens." Qianhe made up her mind and left the island where she had rested for less than a day.

Chapter 9 Branch: We are not worthy

East China Sea,

Sakura Island

Naval Branch 155

The naval recruits at the recruitment office were yawning boredly. It wasn't the peak recruitment season yet, and besides, this was in the East China Sea, so there weren't many people applying to join the navy.

The table in front of him was tapped, and the disturbed naval soldier looked up impatiently. He was about to speak, but when he saw a pair of purple eyes with strange patterns, a sense of fear arose in his heart, and he swallowed the words he wanted to say.

The newcomer was none other than Uchiha Chika. Seeing that the Marines in front of him had not spoken, he took the initiative to ask...

"Hello, is this the Marine Recruiting Office? I'm here for an interview."

"Ah, yes, yes."

The navy officer, regaining his senses, wiped the cold sweat from his brow and quickly replied, then began asking Chiga for information.

"Name"

Uchiha Chika

"age"

"16 years old"

The naval soldier glanced at Uchiha Chiga in surprise, thinking to himself, "He's really young."

Reasons for joining the Navy

"It's probably out of interest."

"Uh, very honest!"

"Does it have any special abilities?"

"Hmm... It can fly, breathe fire, generate thunder, control gravity and repulsion, and open spatial portals... a lot, I guess."

Hearing this long list of abilities, the naval soldier looked at Uchiha Chiga with suspicion. If it were anyone else, he would have already turned pale, but unfortunately, the impact of Uchiha Chiga's eyes on him earlier was simply too great.

Seeing the expression on the navy soldier's face, Chiga knew that he probably thought she was talking nonsense, so she simply released a few ninjutsu, then used Universal Pull to suck the entire branch building into the sky, and then gently put it back in place.

"Now, can I join the Navy?" Chiga turned to look at the Navy soldier and found that the soldier was completely stunned, sticking out his tongue like a comical statue.

However, the naval base was already in complete chaos at this time.

"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"

"The other party is an ability user, a terrifying ability! Go out and check it out!"

"This is bad; we can't handle an enemy of this caliber."

"For justice! We cannot back down, let's rush out and see!"

A series of hurried footsteps sounded as all the navy personnel inside the base rushed to the base gate, nervously looking around, trying to find the invading enemy.

By this time, the naval officer in charge of recruitment had recovered from his shock. Seeing the commotion, he realized it was a misunderstanding caused by Chiga's ability. Suppressing his astonishment, he quickly stepped forward, stood at attention, saluted a burly naval officer, and explained...

"Reporting to Colonel Rhodes! There was no enemy attack. The commotion just now was caused by Uchiha Chika, who came to join the army!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the navy erupted in uproar.

"What? Caused by those who came to join the army?"

"Are new recruits these days really that scary?"

"That scared me to death! Thank goodness it wasn't pirates. I thought I was going to die for justice this time!"

Colonel Rhodes looked at Uchiha Chika, who was standing quietly in one place, his face twitching, and spoke.

"I understand, you may leave."

He then walked up to Uchiha Chika, composed himself, and asked...

"Hello, I am the highest-ranking officer here, Colonel Rhodes. You must be Uchiha Chika, here to enlist?"

Rhodes' tone was cautious, after all, Chiga's ability to "handle" the entire building with ease had really frightened him. He also knew that with the power he had just used, probably no one in the entire East Sea could withstand it.

“Yes, I am Uchiha Chika, and I’m here to join the Marines,” Chika replied with a smile.

Having received confirmation, and with Uchiha Chika's attitude seemingly quite good, Rhode's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased slightly, followed by ecstasy.

He knew he couldn't keep such a talented newcomer; he was born for the Grand Line, and his East Blue naval branch was unworthy of him!

But he could recommend him to the Navy Headquarters! The merit of recommending such a talent could even lead to a promotion of several ranks!

Looking at Uchiha Chika again, Rhodes's eyes were filled with fanaticism.

Feeling uncomfortable under Rhodes' gaze, Chika raised her hand, opened the doorway, and threw Brand's corpse, the pirate flag, and a huge black sphere onto the ground.

"What is this?" Rhode looked at Uchiha Chika with a puzzled expression.

"This black ball is the corpse of the Brand Pirates. The one that still looks somewhat human is the captain. We took care of him on the way here."

Rhodes gasped. He knew the Brand Pirates; they were a pirate crew that had returned from the Grand Line. Headquarters had just sent a warning a few days ago and was preparing to send more men, since the damage Brand's strength would cause in the East Blue would be enormous.

But now, Brand, who managed to escape from the Grand Line, has been turned into a humanoid charcoal in front of us, and the other soldiers are not even worthy of maintaining a human shape!

That's terrifying! Brand once again gained a new understanding of Uchiha Chiga's strength.

"Then you should go into the base first, and we can talk slowly. To be honest, someone with your strength shouldn't be able to stay here for too long."

When he spoke again, Rhodes' tone was now obsequious. He knew that if Uchiha Chika, with his strength, went to headquarters, he would definitely be able to enter the elite training camp there. After graduating from that training camp, he would become an officer of headquarters, with a rank that would only be higher than his! And it would be a height that he could never reach in his entire life. Therefore, he dared not be negligent in the slightest, whether in terms of strength or status.

Chiga smiled and nodded, then walked into the base first.

Looking at Chika's retreating figure and thinking about his youthful face, Rod couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Why is there such a big difference between people?

Chapter 10 The Impatient Warring States Period

Naval Headquarters, Marineland

In the marshal's office, Zhan Guo was looking at the military deployment map on the table with his brows furrowed.

Following Pirate King Roger's dying words, a large number of pirates began to flood into the Grand Line, and the Navy's military strength was already stretched thin.

Although the high-end combat force is guarded by three natural elemental admirals, these three are clearly problematic individuals. Kizaru, who clocks in and out and receives a monthly salary, spends most of his time doing nothing. Aokiji is lazy, and Akainu is relatively more efficient than the other two.
