Chapter 198: Fujitora is Here Too? Hidden Talents Among This Year's Recruits

"Help! I can't swim..."

"Captain! The captain fell into the sea; someone pull him up!"

"Mama, I want to go home..."

Out on the sea, a group of pirate underlings struggled desperately.

Chen Ye's recent punch had focused primarily on Jack, with the rest of the crew merely affected by the shockwave. Some weaker and unlucky underlings had perished, but the ones here were the fortunate survivors who had barely escaped with their lives.

Seeing several underlings diving to retrieve Jack, Chen Ye didn't interfere further. He stepped onto the air, using Moonwalk, and headed back toward the marine warship.

"Bang! Bang!"

He seemed to be walking through the air, creating crisp sounds as he quickly approached the warship.

In Chen Ye's view, at this moment, Moonwalk was even more useful to him than Armament Haki!

Armament Haki was powerful in the pirate world, but outside of it, it would be far less effective for Chen Ye. Increase defense? Boost attack power? Those were already his strengths.

Of course, even if Armament Haki only provided slight enhancements outside this world, Chen Ye would still continue training it. Having it was better than not. If he could reach Garp's level of mastery in Armament Haki, it would be incredibly powerful, providing a substantial boost.

In just a few breaths, Chen Ye landed steadily on the warship's deck.

Around him, the marines looked at him with awe. Garp laughed heartily, saying, "Well done, baldy!"

The return journey went smoothly.

Occasionally, they encountered pirate ships, but seeing Garp's warship, they would immediately flee. Brainless fighters like "Drought" Jack were rare.

On Garp's ship, Chen Ye also took the opportunity to ask Garp about certain matters. For instance, the identity of the person who killed Aokiji.

Garp's answer was that, at present, the marines only knew the attacker was a young woman named "Kawashima Nao." As for her exact age or origin, it remained unknown.

This person seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

When Garp said this, he gave Chen Ye an instinctive glance. After all, Chen Ye and Qin Muyin had also appeared out of nowhere.

Currently, a bounty had already been issued by Marine Headquarters for Kawashima Nao, with a staggering amount of 1.7 billion Berries!

This bounty even surpassed some of the emperor's lieutenants. Normally, such a high bounty wouldn't be issued for a newcomer. However, Kawashima Nao's actions had been too severe, causing considerable negative impact, which prompted Marine Headquarters to make an exception with this exorbitant bounty.

Chen Ye learned some additional details from Garp.

Apparently, several survivors had managed to escape from that division. Through these survivors, the marine high command learned what had happened.

Kawashima Nao had deliberately disguised herself to approach Admiral Aokiji, and when he was unguarded, she launched a sneak attack. It seemed she possessed a technique that could block Aokiji's Observation Haki, allowing her to succeed in her ambush.

In short, Kawashima Nao's methods were downright despicable—a true display of dishonor!

Hearing the name "Kawashima Nao," Chen Ye's brow furrowed. Just hearing it, he could tell she was Japanese!

He had originally thought this fellow master might be from his homeland. Turns out, she's Japanese!

By the time they returned to Marineford, it was noon.

In the recruits' cafeteria, Chen Ye spotted Qin Muyin.

Three months had passed, yet Qin Muyin hadn't changed a bit. She still refused to wear the marine uniform, claiming it was ugly!

Regarding the uniform, the marines were quite lenient—those who didn't want to wear it didn't have to. Of course, this privilege was reserved for the powerful!

In the eyes of the high command, Qin Muyin was a future admiral candidate. Would an ordinary soldier dare to be this bold?

"Chen Ye, it's been three months. Have you mastered Armament Haki?" Qin Muyin asked.

Chen Ye nodded with a smile. "I've more or less got the hang of it."

At the moment, the two of them were sitting together at a table, eating.

Chen Ye noticed that quite a few people around them were sneaking glances their way. To be precise, they were looking at Qin Muyin.

Their gazes weren't out of admiration but of awe and respect!

"Captain Qin, it seems like you've made quite a name for yourself over these past three months!" Chen Ye said with a smile.

Qin Muyin shrugged indifferently. "Isn't this all according to your plan?"

Indeed, it was Chen Ye's plan.

According to his vision, he would stay in the background to fully support Qin Muyin, while she quickly made a name for herself, catching the attention of the Marine high command. This would expedite her promotion to Vice Admiral, or even Admiral.

But now, it was no longer necessary.

The Grand Military Tournament was approaching. The tournament was likely a decision made long ago by the Marine high command, its purpose being to select the next Marine Admiral and fill other high-level vacancies.

"Chen Ye, what's your take on this Grand Military Tournament?" Qin Muyin asked.

Chen Ye had already heard about the tournament from Garp, who had encouraged him to participate and aim for the Admiral position. Garp had high hopes for him.

"What else is there to think?" Chen Ye replied with a smile. "My goal this time is to help you claim the top spot and become the new Marine Admiral!"

Hearing this, Qin Muyin seemed momentarily dazed.

It reminded her of the last national secret realm...

At that moment, a middle-aged man entered the recruits' cafeteria.

This man was exceptionally tall, nearly three meters in height. Such a towering figure immediately drew attention upon entering the room.

Furthermore, this middle-aged man appeared rather old, looking at least fifty, and he seemed to be blind. A large scar crossed his forehead and both eyelids, making him look somewhat intimidating.

However, his face exuded a calm and honest demeanor, with a righteous aura.

It was also noteworthy that, like Qin Muyin, he did not wear the Marine recruit uniform but instead donned a purple robe.

Because he was visually impaired, the man held a cane to guide him as he slowly made his way into the cafeteria.

Seeing him enter, the recruits in the cafeteria grew tense, and some even showed signs of fear.

Sitting across from Chen Ye, Qin Muyin suddenly spoke up. "Chen Ye, be careful with this man. He's strong!"

Chen Ye, of course, knew how powerful this old blind man was.

Because this man was none other than the post-war Marine Admiral, codenamed "Fujitora"!

Chen Ye had never expected to encounter Fujitora here.

It seemed that this recent Marine recruitment had indeed brought in quite a few formidable experts. If Fujitora was here, then what about Green Bull? Could he be here as well?

"Oh?" Chen Ye asked nonchalantly. "Captain Qin, have you crossed paths with him before?"

"No," Qin Muyin replied. "This man arrived about two months ago. Back then, some new recruits tried to bully him, only to be instantly pressed into the ground, heads barely poking out, by his Devil Fruit power… even a large area of the ground caved in.

"If I made a move, I could achieve that too, but not with his ease… I really don't know what his Devil Fruit power is."

Hearing this, Chen Ye's face remained calm.

He knew Fujitora's Devil Fruit was the Paramecia-type Zushi Zushi no Mi (Gravity Fruit)! This fruit granted him the ability to control gravity at will!

If Qin Muyin tried to match his oppressive power, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

In fact, Fujitora's gravity power had its limits and couldn't compare to telekinesis, which could control everything.

In terms of versatility, Chen Ye believed Qin Muyin's telekinesis had a considerable advantage.

Moreover, regarding overall strength, Chen Ye considered Qin Muyin superior to Fujitora.

After all, she was the number one expert in her homeland, a true seventh-tier powerhouse who could easily create tsunamis! She was certainly not weaker than Fujitora.

Chen Ye took one look at Fujitora and then looked away, keeping a neutral expression. He didn't want to reveal his identity as a transmigrator.

Fujitora wasn't here to cause trouble; he was simply here to eat.

Coincidentally, the path Fujitora was taking led him right by Chen Ye and Qin Muyin.

As he passed by them, Fujitora noticeably paused for a moment, then resumed his pace with his cane, continuing on his way.

Chen Ye understood. This old blind man's Observation Haki was very strong!

He had likely sensed something unusual about both him and Qin Muyin…
