Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

However, Akainu's actions were too radical, and Sengoku didn't really like his absolute sense of justice.

Speaking of pirates,

The Four Emperors of the New World are eyeing us covetously. Each of them has the power to destroy a country at will, not to mention the powerful pirates under their command.

"The navy needs more fresh blood right now, especially talented individuals!" Sengoku thought to himself and sighed again.

"Such talent is rare!"

Dong dong dong,

A knock sounded at the door, and a soldier from headquarters entered. After saluting, he took out a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and said solemnly,

"Reporting to the Marshal! Colonel Luo De from the 155th Squadron of the East China Sea Navy has sent a message saying that he has important information to report to headquarters!"

"East Blue? Could it be that the Brand Pirates started causing trouble a few days ago? Those damn sea trash!"

Sengoku's mood worsened. He nodded to dismiss the soldiers and then connected to Rhodes' Den Den Mushi.

"Moshi Moshi, this is Naval Headquarters. I am Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Colonel Rhodes, what important information do you have to report?"

Rhodes' Den Den Mushi immediately mimicked an excited expression and spoke,

"Marshal Sengoku, this is Rhodes. Our branch's recruitment office has received a new recruit with exceptional talent! His name is Uchiha Chika!"

"A highly talented recruit??" Sengoku was somewhat excited; hearing this news at this time was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

However, the thought of it being a naval branch in the East China Sea made him suspicious. After all, it was difficult for such a weak sea area to produce any exceptionally talented recruits. He thought it was probably because Rhodes had been in the East China Sea for too long and was getting too excited about a newcomer with a little bit of strength.

Thinking of this, the emotions that had just risen in Zhan Guo subsided.

"Okay, I understand. Can you describe exactly what this extremely strong talent is?"

"This Uchiha Chika has many abilities. First of all, he has a very strong physique, and he also seems to have the ability to control gravity and repulsion. He can fly, and he can easily lift the entire Marine branch building into the sky and then gently put it down!"

"Nani!?"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku was no longer calm. As the highest-ranking admiral of the Navy Headquarters and one of the top fighters in the world, Sengoku naturally knew his stuff.

Flight, control of gravity and repulsion—any one of these abilities is extremely powerful. Could it be a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit?

Furthermore, the fact that Uchiha Chiga could easily lift an entire Marine branch building into the sky demonstrates that he has mastered his abilities to a very high degree.

Could it be that a treasure has really been discovered? Zhan Guo was somewhat incredulous.

At this moment, Rod's voice rang out again.

"He single-handedly wiped out the Brand Pirates! The captain is a charred corpse, and the other pirates are turned into a black ball. He even claims to have the ability to control flames! And…!" Rod paused for a moment.

He's only sixteen!

"..."

silence,

"Marshal...Marshal Sengoku?" Seeing that there was no response for a while, Rhodes assumed that Marshal Sengoku thought he had exaggerated, and cautiously asked.

"I'm here!"

Sengoku snapped back to reality, then his face flushed, and he shouted into the Den Den Mushi,

"Colonel Rhodes, you've done a great job! Headquarters will immediately dispatch a warship to escort him. During this time, you must ensure he feels the sincerity of our navy!"

"Understood! Marshal of the Warring States!"

After disconnecting the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to arrange the warships to the East China Sea.

boom!

The door was pushed open roughly.

"Warring States Period! I want to go back to the East Sea to see my grandson!"

The one who entered was Garp, the legendary Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters. He picked his nose and rushed to Sengoku's desk, shouting at Sengoku in a boisterous manner.

Sengoku looked at his friend with a headache. This guy never did anything serious, and even Aokiji had followed suit and become bad. He liked to bother him and steal his senbei!

Just as he was about to scold this annoying fellow, Sengoku's eyes suddenly lit up.

He could take this opportunity to have Garp pick him up. Although Garp is usually unreliable, he has a good reputation. Wouldn't having him go better show the Navy's sincerity?

I was so wise!

A kind smile immediately appeared on Sengoku's face.

"Okay, I approve!"

"Oh dear, I haven't seen my grandson in so long, and this time you... um?!"

Garp was about to argue, and as usual, Garp would definitely refuse righteously and firmly, and then he would persuade him with a bit of gentle coaxing and threats, and Garp would give in.

Why did it go so smoothly this time?

Sengoku's unusual behavior caught Garp off guard, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Sengoku realized his behavior was somewhat unusual, coughed awkwardly twice, and then said seriously,

"I can grant you leave, but you have to pick someone up for me on the way. He's at the 155th Naval Branch in the East China Sea."

"Pick someone up? Who?"

"A new naval recruit, his name is Uchiha Chika!"

Chapter 11 Garp

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the office of Colonel Luo De at the 155th Naval Base in the East China Sea,

Chiga sat on the sofa, quietly reading a newspaper. Rhodes, on the other hand, remained in his seat, staring at a Den Den Mushi on the table, looking somewhat nervous.

Today is the day Vice Admiral Garp from the Navy Headquarters arrives at the branch.

I have great respect for this legendary Vice Admiral Rhodes, after all, the fact that he "once drove the Pirate King Roger to the brink of defeat" is truly impressive, and Garp's strength is indeed formidable.

However, Rhodes didn't know much about Garp's personality and was afraid that he might do something wrong and offend this great god who was about to arrive.

Chiga looked up and saw Rhodes with a constipated expression. He found it somewhat amusing. From the moment Rhodes called him to his office that morning until now, Rhodes had maintained this posture and expression, as if afraid of missing a Den Den Mushi call.

"You don't need to be so nervous. I know Lieutenant General Garp a bit. He's a very kind person. Just behave yourself."

Chiga closed the newspaper and said to Rod,

Rhodes' face immediately darkened. Good heavens, so this newcomer knows more about naval officers than I, a naval officer who has served for decades?

However, he dared not show any dissatisfaction, after all, the person in front of him was someone he could not afford to offend.

Seeing that Rhodes had no reaction, Chiga stood up listlessly, intending to go outside for some fresh air, when suddenly...

"Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu"

After a morning of silence, the Den Den Mushi finally responded. Rhodes, like a camel that had finally found water in the desert, grabbed the Den Den Mushi and excitedly shouted into it.

"Moshi Moshi! This is the 155th Naval Squadron, Captain Rhodes!"

"Yes, this is warship HQ3, about to land at your unit. Please come out to meet us."

"Yes!"

Luo De saluted, stood up, called to Qian He, and rushed towards the warship landing point. Qian He silently followed.

Upon arriving at the warship's landing point, rows of branch naval personnel were already standing neatly around it, craning their necks to look at the warship's hatch.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, several rows of headquarters naval personnel emerged first, quickly forming ranks, and then a burly figure wearing a dog-head mask appeared at the hatch.

The one wearing the dog-head mask was naturally Garp. He glanced at the formation below, swaggered off the ship, and, ignoring the stares of those around him, shouted,

Where is Colonel Rhodes here?

"Here I am! Lieutenant General Garp!"

Rhode jogged up to Garp, who sized him up, nodded, and then asked...

"Yes, is Uchiha Chika here? I've been delayed in my hometown for a while, so I won't stay long this time. Let's take him and head straight back to headquarters."

"I'm here." Before Rhodes could answer, Chiga responded from the crowd. Garp turned to look and saw a tall, slender boy with strange and eerie eyes standing in the Navy, looking quite like a crane among chickens.

"Is this the promising young talent that Sengoku entrusted to me? He looks really young." Garp thought to himself, then waved to Chiga.

"Alright, come on over, we should get on the ship and head back to Marine Headquarters."

Chiga nodded in greeting, and the surrounding Marines automatically made way for him. He stepped forward and came to Garp's side.

Looking closely at the boy before him again, especially his purple eyes, Garp sensed that Uchiha Chika was extraordinary.

"Interesting. I'll have to test this kid's strength properly when we get back to headquarters." Having made up his mind, Garp greeted the branch marines below and led Chiga back to the warship.

Standing at the bow of the Garp warship, Chiga waved to the branch navy and Rhodes below, thanking them for their care over the past few days.

The branch naval personnel, including Rhodes, were somewhat moved. It was extremely rare for such a prodigy to remember ordinary people like them when he was about to take flight.

"Go for it, Chiga! I look forward to hearing your name here again!" Rod shouted excitedly, and Chiga on the ship gave Rod a thumbs up.

Seeing Chika's behavior, Garp's opinion of him rose even higher. In Garp's view, this ability to get along well with others and know how to respect others is sometimes a more valuable quality than strength. Later in the anime, Garp took Koby as his apprentice, which was also due to this quality.

In a good mood, Garp waved his hand and ordered the ships to set sail. The warships then turned around and headed towards the Grand Line.

.

Chapter 12 The Crane and the Peach Rabbit

The first half of the Grand Line, Marineford

Garp, along with Chiga and a group of marines, disembarked from the warship.

Garp waved for the soldiers to disperse, then turned to Chiga and said...

"Come with me, I'll take you to see Sengoku. You're the person he specifically asked to see."

Chiga responded and followed Garp to the Marshal's office.

On the way, Qianhe was somewhat moved, not expecting his performance in the East China Sea Naval Branch to have such a great impact; the treatment he received was truly beyond his expectations.

Upon arriving at Sengoku's office, Garp didn't knock. He slammed the door open and shouted,
