Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

However, she has been quite kind to me. Whether it was her promotion in Sabaody Archipelago or this Devil Fruit, it's clear that she genuinely wants to befriend me.

Thinking of this, Qianhe's expression softened slightly. He took the box and said,

"Thank you, I'll accept this fruit."

"Hey, you're welcome. It was prepared for you anyway..."

Seeing that Chiga accepted the Devil Fruit and thanked her, Charllia cheered again.

Today, she not only received praise from Chiga for the first time, but also heard him say thank you. Does this mean that Chiga's attitude towards her has improved?

Chiga took the box and opened it directly. Inside was a black cantaloupe, the most distinctive feature of which was the stem at the top that looked like a pair of cow horns.

Charlia suddenly leaned closer, eager to show off her knowledge and explain the Devil Fruit to Chiga, as if she had put in a lot of effort.

"I've already checked the Pokédex for you. It's a Mythical Zoan-type fruit, the Ox-Ox Fruit - Ox Demon King Mode!"

Ox-Ox Fruit...

Chiga felt that this prefix was unnecessary; she could just say it was the Bull Demon King form.

He didn't intend to eat the fruit, but he could give it to someone close to him. Chiga already had the best candidate in mind: his teacher, Zephyr.

Actually, the most suitable fruit for Zephyr would be the Red Earl's Vampire Fruit, but it's obviously unrealistic to specifically look for that fruit.

He's not like Blackbeard, who spent twenty years waiting for a Dark-Dark Fruit.

Since this Bull Demon King Fruit is a Mythical Zoan type, it certainly won't be too bad.

If Zephyr obtains this fruit, his strength will definitely increase significantly, at least enough to restore his Admiral-level strength.

In that case, Professor Zefa's desire to retire will have to be put on hold for now.

But Zefa is not even seventy yet, why is he thinking about retirement? Roll him up, teacher! You can keep this re-employment gift!

Looking at the Ox-Demon Fruit in his hand, Chiga's face revealed a wicked smile.

Charlia was very close and thought Chiga's smile was really beautiful and had a strong attraction for her.

With her eyes darting around, Charlia grew bolder as Chiga's attitude towards her improved. She tiptoed and quietly brought her face closer to Chiga.

Chiga noticed her movement, his expression darkened, and he said,

"What do you want to do?"

Charlia's expression froze, and she remained motionless, her face still extended.

Chiga looked at Charlia in this state and found it amusing. He knew exactly what this girl was thinking.

After thinking for a moment, Qianhe suddenly bent down and tapped her forehead.

Charlia was struck dumb, her face turning bright red, and steam rose from her head, making her look rather cute.

Shaking his head, Qianhe stored the Bull Demon King Fruit into his spatial storage and said,

"I'd like to give this fruit to my teacher, Zephyr. Do you mind?"

"..."

"What does it mean to not speak? Is that not allowed?"

"..."

No matter what Chiga said, Charlia didn't react at all, so Chiga had to reach out and tap her on the head.

Charlia then snapped out of her daze and hurriedly waved her hands, saying...

"It's already yours, you can do whatever you want with it!"

After saying that, she blushed and looked at Qianhe, then fell silent.

Chiga smiled at her again. This girl was becoming more and more likable. If the Celestial Dragons were really going to be wiped out, he would definitely protect her.

After chatting with her for a while, Chiga went to rest in the room that Charlia had arranged for him.

Upon entering the room, one is greeted by an extravagantly large bed covered with luxurious-looking bedding.

But the most eye-catching thing was a doll that seemed out of place with its surroundings.

This doll is the same as Chiga's; its shape is extremely abstract, and its most distinctive feature is its spiky hair. That's right, it's modeled after Charlia.

Sitting on the bed, Qianhe picked up the doll, looked at it speechlessly, and commented,

"It's ugly! Didn't I tell you not to keep this hairstyle anymore?!"

The next day, Charlia obediently took Chiga to meet the Five Elders. They had already delayed for a day, and any further delay would provoke the Five Elders' anger.

On the way, Chiga looked around at the surroundings. He had to admit that the place where these Celestial Dragons lived was really luxurious. He could also see many people cleaning there, and the whole environment looked spotless.

Unfortunately, most of the people living there are Celestial Dragons, who look disgusting, which is a real waste of this place.

But it doesn't matter anyway, since this place will eventually turn into a pile of gravel anyway, and Chiga doesn't have the habit of living in a second-hand house.

Chapter 117 Meeting with the Five Elders

After passing through a marble-paved path, Charlia led Chiga to the room where the Five Elders often met to discuss matters.

This time, the people at the entrance were no longer all dressed in black.

Standing at the entrance were two people dressed in white robes and wearing strange masks, one with a red mask and the other with a black mask.

Chiga stared blankly at the two people at the door, thinking that this must be CP0, which is directly under the World Government.

Judging from the masks on these two people, the one with the red mask appeared later in the anime and was named Gismonda.

The person in the black mask never appeared; Chiga's gaze was fixed on the guy wearing the black mask.

The Rinnegan, as the eye that controls life and death, is extremely sensitive to the aura of death.

With just one glance, Chiga confirmed that the person was not a living person, but rather something similar to a puppet.

Charlize frowned. Who were these two guys? She'd never seen them before.

Moreover, she has already brought people with her, so why won't these two move aside?

The two masked figures stood there silently, as if waiting for something, until an aged voice came from inside the room.

"Let Uchiha Chika in."

Upon hearing the instructions from inside the room, the two masked figures stepped aside, clearing the doorway.

Charlia glared at the two masked men and was about to step into the house when Gismonda blocked her way with his hand, speaking in a very respectful tone.

"Lady Charlia, the master inside only called Uchiha Chika, so please wait here."

Charlia was a little indignant and was about to say something when Chika suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said...

"Alright, thank you for showing me the way. You can go back now. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten what I promised you. If there's a chance in the future, I'll take you to visit Chambord."

Hearing Chiga's words, Charlia's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly,

"Really??"

"Of course, I keep my word."

"Okay, I'll head back now."

Charlia knew that her identity wasn't very useful here, and since she had already received Chiga's promise, she might as well quit while she was ahead.

Charlia took one last, reluctant look at Chiga before turning and leaving.

After she left, Qianhe didn't look at the two masked people again and went straight into the room.

As soon as Qianhe entered the room, five pairs of eyes turned to him.

Chiga remained expressionless, standing there calmly looking at the five old men sitting on the sofa in front of him.

These five old guys are all quite cunning. Although I don't know how they compare to Danzo, their aura of authority is definitely much stronger than Danzo's.

After all, Danzo is the supreme leader of the World Government; in the end, he's not even a village chief.

His highlight was his brief stint as the 5.5th Hokage of Konoha, before being killed by Sasuke, where he accomplished the feat of sealing a bridge before his death.

Moreover, if you didn't know the identities of the Five Elders, they would just look like five stern-faced old men, but what about Danzo?

It's obviously not a good thing.

The Five Elders also looked at Chiga, who was visiting for the first time, and their gazes lingered on Chiga's Rinnegan for a moment.

Then, the Five Elders, still dressed in a white kimono and carrying a sword, was the first to speak.

"Uchiha Chika, nice to meet you. Your eyes do indeed look as special as the rumors say. I've heard that they are unique to your clan?"

Chiga raised an eyebrow. Was he steer the conversation to his Rinnegan right off the bat? This guy's got a hidden agenda.

However, even if these old guys really set their sights on his Rinnegan, Chiga wouldn't be worried in the slightest.

With his current strength, unless Mary Geoise contains combat power far exceeding that of the Four Emperors, he could completely destroy Mary Geoise and escape unscathed.

With a smile, Chiga replied.

"Yes, have you ever seen anyone else with eyes like these?"

The youngest of the Five Elders, a blond man, paled; Chiga's tone was far from polite.

He opened his mouth to reprimand, but the Five Elders, who were wearing black flat caps, glanced at him and shook their heads slightly.

The words the blond Five Elders wanted to say were swallowed back, and he could only sit there staring blankly.

The Five Elders in white kimonos were much more composed; they weren't annoyed, and instead asked...

"Perhaps we've met before?"

These words immediately created a tense atmosphere in the room.

Chiga squinted at the Five Elders in white kimonos, a purple light flashing in her Rinnegan.

However, the Five Elders in white kimonos suddenly chuckled a few times, shook the katana they were holding, and said,

"Just kidding, didn't you say that you're the only one left in the Uchiha clan?"

"Hehe, I just thought there were other people of our kind living in this world."

"Oh? If that were true, what would you do?"

"If he really is, then he should be my last member of the clan. I will definitely have tea with him and catch up with him."
