Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Sengoku felt a headache coming on when he thought of Hawkeye. This guy was different from the other Shichibukai; he was an extremely special existence.

Most of the other Seven Warlords of the Sea have families and their own territories.

Hawkeye, however, has always been alone, and being alone means having no ties, making him difficult to control.

His strength is also terrifying; in swordsmanship, he can even fight Shanks to a standstill.

Moreover, Hawkeye is one of the very few people who can forge the "Black Blade".

The term "black knife" doesn't simply mean that it's covered in Armament Haki; otherwise, it would be worthless.

According to Gyukimaru's words in the anime, a true "black sword" refers to a permanent black sword formed by infusing everything about oneself, such as power, aura, and Armament Haki, into the sword through years of battle.

Based on these factors, it's no exaggeration to say that Hawkeye is the most prestigious of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

As for Chiga, there's no doubt about his strength. Sengoku was absolutely certain that Chiga was already a true admiral-level fighter.

If these two were to fight here, how much would the repair costs be? Who would pay for it?

Thinking of this, Sengoku's face turned ashen, and he looked at Corazon and the flying squirrel, saying...

"Lieutenant General Zilin agreed?"

"Yes!"

Did he say where the battle would take place?

"Lieutenant General Zilin said he was going to the open space in front of the headquarters building!"

"What?! Isn't it nearby?"

"Yes!"

"Are they trying to tear this place down?! You two, go stop them!"

“Yes… eh?”

Upon hearing Sengoku's order, the flying squirrel and Corazon looked at each other, wondering if they had misheard.

Are you suggesting we send those two to stop those two? Does the Warring States Marshal have some misunderstanding about the strength of these two?

What's the difference between them running over to stop it and delivering vegetables? Is the Warring States Marshal confused or trying to lay off staff in a roundabout way?

Sengoku realized he had been too hasty and that he should handle the matter personally.

At that moment, Corazon suddenly said weakly,

"Marshal Sengoku, didn't you say you could always trust Lieutenant General Chiga?"

Sengoku, who had already gotten up to leave, paused for a moment upon hearing this, before remembering that it was a sentence he had emphasized to Corazon during the Ope Ope no Mi incident.

I didn't expect Corazon to actually remember it. He can still bring it up now. He truly deserves to be my little apple. He always keeps my words in mind.

Sengoku looked at Corazon with a pleased expression, but then the flying squirrel reminded him of something.

"Marshal of the Warring States, aren't you going to stop them?"

Zhan Guo was shocked. Yes, if they waited any longer, their house would be torn down!

Moreover, it was precisely because I had too much faith in Chiga's abilities that I decided to stop this battle at headquarters!

Thinking of this, Sengoku glared at Corazon, then abandoned the door, opened the window, and leaped out, disappearing from Corazon and the flying squirrel's sight.

Sengoku's move left Corazon and the flying squirrel stunned. After a long while, Corazon's throat bobbed, and he muttered to himself,

"As expected of the Warring States Marshal, he always manages to find the best solution in the shortest time!"

The flying squirrel nodded in agreement and replied,

"With his skills, Marshal Zhan Guo can serve for at least another twenty years!"

Chapter 111 The Cat Demon Fruit Awakens! The Extreme Cold Realm!

Marineford, in front of the Naval Headquarters building

Hawkeye and the other Shichibukai arrived at the address Chiga had given them, only to find Chiga already standing at the edge of Marineford's walls.

Chiga had her back to them, her gaze fixed on the inner bay outside the wall, which she estimated to be about three hundred meters in diameter.

If we need to use Susanoo later, this inner bay area will be sufficient.

The group looked around but found no suitable place to fight, which puzzled them.

Are they going to fight right in front of the Navy Headquarters? Does Zi Lin want this area to be renovated?

Hawkeye seemed indifferent. If Chiga didn't care about such things, then he was even less concerned. He only cared about the battle that was about to begin.

Hawkeye was ready for battle, and looked at Chihiro as he spoke.

"Shall we begin our battle now?"

Chiga turned around and said somewhat mysteriously,

"Of course, but I need to create a suitable environment for combat first."

"A suitable environment for combat? Shouldn't we fight here?"

"No, this is the Navy Headquarters. Are you going to pay for the repairs if anything gets damaged?"

"Forehead……"

A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Hawkeye's face. Paying for the Navy's repairs was out of the question; it sounded too absurd.

Chiga knew it was impossible to get this guy to pay, so she wanted to avoid damaging the headquarters environment.

After all, the current Marine Headquarters is like Chiga's home in the pirate world, and he certainly wouldn't allow it to be destroyed.

In any case, no one but myself will do!

Thinking of this, Chiga's body floated up, seemingly preparing to make a move. Hawkeye's hand also reached behind him, drawing the black sword Yoru, and the atmosphere in the arena became tense.

at this time,

"Stop it, all of you! Do you want to tear down Marine Headquarters?!"

Bang! A burly figure descended from the sky; it was Sengoku, who had just jumped out of the office window.

As soon as he landed, he quickly walked between Chihiro and Hawkeye, looked at Hawkeye with a serious expression, and said...

"This is not a suitable place for fighting. If you insist on fighting, then you are declaring war on the Navy!"

Hawkeye frowned and looked at Chiga.

Chiga did not disappoint Hawkeye; he said to Sengoku,

"Marshal Sengoku, you don't need to worry. The battle later will not destroy a single brick or tile of the headquarters."

"Hmm? What are you going to do?"

Qianhe smiled slightly, and black flames ignited in his hands. Strangely, the appearance of the black flames did not bring any heat, but instead emitted a bone-chilling cold.

Sengoku's pupils contracted as he saw the black flames on Chiga's hands. He recognized the flames; they were the special ability attached to the Nekomata Fruit.

He personally gave Chiga this Nekomatsuri Fruit, so of course he wouldn't forget it.

What is Chiga trying to do by suddenly using the fruit's power now?

Chiga didn't explain further, knowing that Sengoku would understand his meaning later.

Using the power of the Heavenly Dao, Chiga flew directly towards the inner bay, about to plunge into the sea.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea were startled by Chiga's actions.

They have already determined that Chiga is a Devil Fruit user, and it's common knowledge that all Devil Fruit users can't swim.

Chiga's behavior was tantamount to suicide in their eyes.

Hancock panicked and rushed to the edge, intending to jump down as well.

Fortunately, Sengoku grabbed her arm. He knew that Chiga was not afraid of seawater at all, so he was not worried about Chiga's safety.

Hancock, who had been pulled back, turned around and glared at Sengoku, angrily saying,

"What's wrong with you! Don't you know he's an ability user? Go save him!"

Sengoku was bewildered by Hancock's behavior, wondering what was going on with Boa Hancock? Didn't she always hate men? Why did she seem so worried about Chiga?

However, seeing how impatient Hancock was, Sengoku still explained it to her.

"Qianhe's situation is a bit special. He's not afraid of seawater. Please calm down."

"Are you kidding me? How could someone with superpowers not be afraid of seawater!?"

"You'll see for yourself as you read on."

Hancock was furious at Sengoku's calm demeanor. She looked down angrily and immediately spotted Chika standing steadily on the water.

Seeing that Chiga was alright, Hancock immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't interested in why Chika wasn't afraid of seawater; as long as Chika was alright, that was all that mattered to her—that's the Empress's love-struck mind.

At this moment, Chika, who was standing on the water, suddenly knelt down on one knee and pressed her hands, which were burning with black flames, onto the sea.

The tomoe in her right eye began to tremble, and Chika called out in her heart.

"Medice, have you had enough sleep?"

"Hehe, Master, you finally remembered me! I thought you had forgotten about me!"

A mature, elegant voice rang out; it was none other than the long-absent Nekomata Mordis.

As Chiga's Rinnegan's power continued to increase, she, within the Rinnegan, was nourished by the surging power.

However, because Chiga's pupil power increased too rapidly, she also fell into a deep sleep.

She only woke up after Chiga's right eye's pupil power stabilized.

However, she was a bit lazy after just waking up. Since Chiga didn't wake her, she obediently stayed in the Rinnegan, occasionally disciplining the dog that suddenly started breathing fire.

But Qianhe never called her, as if he had forgotten about her. This made Medis a little angry, and she decided to never talk to this fickle master again unless he begged her for help!

As a result, I broke down in my guard today just because of Chiga's call, which is really embarrassing for me.

"Medice, now I am about to unleash your full power. Be prepared."

"Master, you mean that awakened state, right? It's okay, I can do it anytime!"
