A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

This report has already made it clear that from this moment on, he will forever be a woman.

Chili didn't dare to speak, standing silently in place, secretly glancing at Tony's chest. She felt a pang of jealousy; this size was bigger than hers. Are men this big after they become women?

“Sir.” Jarvis’s voice suddenly rang out in the living room.

"Jarvis, what did you find?" Tony asked coldly, her pretty face showing a hint of anger.

"The New York Police Department has located Colonel Rhodes. He was knocked unconscious, stuffed into a closet, bound, and his facial features were completely sealed."

"Those stupid New York cops took them three whole days to find you!" Toni scoffed. The moment her body mutated, she immediately sent someone to find Rhodes.

Unfortunately, by then, Rhodes had already disappeared and could not be found no matter how hard they searched.

"Jarvis, did you find any clues in the surveillance video?"

“We’ve found Mr. Jarvis,” Jarvis said. As soon as he finished speaking, a holographic projection appeared on the coffee table in the living room, displaying screenshots from surveillance videos.

"Sir, after analyzing all the surveillance videos frame by frame and comparing them with Colonel Rhodes's physical data, we found the following suspicious points."

"First, the skin color is different. There is a difference in skin color between the imposter Colonel Rhodes' face and arms. His arms are darker and his face is lighter. I guess this person is black, just like Colonel Rhodes."

Looking at the comparison of the two video screenshots, Toni slowly nodded, agreeing with Jarvis's analysis.

"Secondly, his eyes are in an abnormal position. There is also a color difference in the iris between his left and right eyes, with the left eye being lighter."

Looking at her, at the screenshots of her two eyes, Tony frowned. This was indeed too strange. Normal people's irises are all the same color. Even if you want to fake it, you have to fake both eyes at the same time. Why would there be a difference?

Was it a deliberate attempt to reveal clues and lure me in?

"Sir, the reason for the inconsistent iris colors is most likely that one of the other person's eyes has been injured."

“I conducted a behavioral mimicry analysis on the murderer and found that his behavior when using his eyes was 83.4% identical to that of a one-eyed person.”

"One-eyed?"

Tony's pretty face changed slightly. The only one-eyed person he had ever met was the one who called himself the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

“Yes, sir,” Jarvis said. “According to the data comparison, Nick Fury’s similarity is as high as 87%, however…”

"Based on probability analysis, I believe it is very likely that someone deliberately showed these to us."

"Impossible!" Tony immediately scoffed.

"Jarvis, don't you have any information in your database about their collaboration with Obadiah?"

"gentlemen……"

“No need to say anything more,” Toni said decisively. “Now that Obadiah is dead, if they want to take Stark completely, then I can’t live. If I die, then Stark is completely finished. That’s why they didn’t kill me.”

"But in order to get Stark out of my hands, I can't live either; I have to hide properly... That must be it, damn Nick Fury! Damn S.H.I.E.L.D."

"I will definitely kill you all!"

Tony suddenly understood everything, as if struck by a thunderbolt, and her expression changed drastically.

"Uh... sir, your analysis makes a lot of sense, but according to probability analysis..."

“Jarvis, data analysis can be wrong too,” Tony said seriously. “Machines may be more capable than humans, but they can’t be smarter than humans!”

“Uh… okay, sir.”

"Toni, what do we do now?" Pepper asked quickly.

Although I don't know what's going on, it seems like our situation has become dangerous again?

"Get me some clothes ready. I'm going to hold a press conference. I want to return to the position of head of Stark Industries as a woman." Tony clenched her fist, her bright eyes filled with determination.

Little Chili's eyes immediately lit up with admiration, and she looked as dashing and heroic as a towering, upright man.

“Okay, Toni, I’ll get right on it… Can I take your measurements?” Pepper said.

"It's hard to buy clothes if you don't know your size."

"Uh, well... okay."

Little Chili pulled her to her bedroom and took out a measuring tape to help her measure.

"My God, yours is a 36D..."

"Uh... I can feel it, but what does it mean?"

"Huh? Aren't you a lecherous old man? You don't even know this?"

"Why would I need to remember this?" Toni asked innocently. "I just need to remember the feel and ask around. There's no need to understand what it means."

Little Chili: "..."

What an amazing old lecher.

"So, what exactly do these two numbers and one letter mean?" Toni continued to press.

"...The numbers represent the area covered, and the letters represent the peak height."

"Oh, I see! I've learned something new!"

……

On the other side, on the west coast of Long Island, surging seawater kept crashing against the shore, splashing high waves.

Facing the Atlantic Ocean, the cliffs here are steep and towering, more than ten meters above the sea. It is extremely precipitous.

However, nestled on this cliff is a white luxury villa, its area no smaller than Toni's villa in Marbury.

“Here you go. From today onwards, you are the owner of this place.” Harry placed all the identification documents and keys on the coffee table in the living room and smiled at Cao Gui.

"Thanks, Harry," Cao Gui chuckled, picking up the keys and putting them in his pocket.

"To be honest, I don't understand why you came all the way to Long Island to buy a villa. It's so far from New Jersey," Harry complained. He knew Cao Gui and Gwen's address.

"Well..." Cao Gui glanced at the unfathomable sea outside and smiled slightly:

"I love the sea, and I want to have a close encounter with it."

Chapter 211 Cultivating Domineering Aura

Nighttime at a seaside villa on Long Island.

"System, exchange for the domineering cultivation method!"

[Host has spent 3 merit points to exchange for a domineering cultivation method. Please confirm the exchange.]

"Huh? So cheap? It's not even as good as the Navy's Sixth Generation. Is your system malfunctioning?"

Looking at the prompt on the system panel, Cao Gui could hardly believe it. Only 50,000? That's too cheap!

Please confirm your redemption.

"confirm!"

Cao Gui immediately clicked "confirm." He roughly understood that Haki seemed to be a very advanced thing, but looking at the new world, there were as many people as dogs who could use Armament Haki, and people who could use Observation Haki were everywhere. It was just that Conqueror's Haki was really rare.

Moreover, Cao Gui didn't directly exchange for the domineering aura itself, but rather for its cultivation method. To use it, he still had to work hard himself.

As Cao Gui clicked "confirm," a flood of information rushed into his mind, and the familiar feeling of his brain crashing returned.

After a while, Cao Gui slowly came back to his senses, rubbing his temples with a pained expression. Just as he had expected, domineering aura was not something you could learn just by wanting to.

In a word, it's difficult!

It's not that it's hard to possess domineering aura, but rather that it's difficult to increase the intensity of that aura.

According to the delightful explanation in my mind, domineering is an innate human ability, just like sight and hearing, something we are born with.

Say it again if it's important, it's something you're born with!

However, the difference is that most people don't know about this, so let alone using it in battle, even sensing Haki is a difficult thing.

Just like if the appendix didn't hurt, or if textbooks didn't mention it, we wouldn't know that such an organ exists.

The method for cultivating domineering aura is actually very simple: sense the domineering aura, then hone your willpower until you can truly use it.

The stronger your willpower, the stronger your domineering aura!

The domineering cultivation method he exchanged for was actually a method of torturing himself and making himself feel more pain.

Seeing this, Cao Gui's lips twitched. He suddenly felt a little sorry for his 30,000 merit points. He had just been smug about spending only 30,000 merit points, but he never expected that he would be the clown.

"Damn it, at this rate, how long will it take me to develop domineering aura?" Cao Gui rubbed his temples and said in pain.

He probably understands what domineering aura is now.

If this were the world of One Piece, then Haki would be a unique form of combat energy, like chakra in Naruto or spiritual pressure in Bleach.

However, if we expand the One Piece world to the entire parallel universe, then Haki can probably be understood as mental power.

Armament Haki is a form of mental enhancement and shield, Observation Haki is a form of mental scanning, and Conqueror's Haki is truly powerful—it's a mental shock!

Therefore, domineering aura is not a panacea; it must be combined with physical skills, swordsmanship, and other abilities. Otherwise, even with domineering aura, one will still lose against someone without it.

For example, Boa Hancock's two sisters, and the group of female warriors on Amazon Lily—they are all imposing, but how many of them could defeat Luffy before the Marineford War?

In other words, the presence or absence of domineering aura is unrelated to the user's physical strength; rather, the strength of domineering aura is related to the user's physical condition.

Of course, this is Cao Gui's understanding, and there may be some errors, but the general direction should be correct.

So, the biggest problem now is how to quickly unleash the domineering aura. Cao Gui scratched his head, the key point is not how to unleash the domineering aura, but how quickly.

Cao Gui didn't have that much time to project his willpower into domineering aura.

"Looks like... he's cheating by spending money on in-game purchases," Cao Gui sighed helplessly.

Money is such a useful thing; you work so hard to earn it, but it doesn't last long at all when you need it.

"System, exchange character cards... Let me see..." Cao Gui scrolled through the system panel, finally stopping at a small crew cut and sunglasses.

"Virgo!"

"System, redeem character card: Vergo!"

[Host has spent 30 merit points to exchange for the character card: [Vergo (A fool who uses full-body Armament Haki)], please confirm the exchange.]

"...Confirmed and equipped." Cao Gui's face twitched slightly. What kind of evaluation was this?

[Host equipped with character card: [Vergo (A fool who uses full-body Armament Haki)], valid for ten minutes.]
