Ye Chen said a few words to Hancock and casually tossed Pikachu to her. The moment Hancock received Pikachu, her eyes lit up—this cute yellow electric mouse immediately won her over.
Although Pikachu wouldn't add any combat strength for the upcoming trip to the Holy Land, its ability to control electricity could serve as a useful defense for Hancock.
After leaving the training ground, Ye Chen walked straight back to his room.
This time, he had only brought Ulquiorra out to stretch his legs and to introduce him to Esdeath and Osiris. After all, they were all part of his crew now.
Back in his room, Ye Chen lay on the bed, deep in thought.
Osiris, Esdeath, Ulquiorra—these three were at least at the level of Admirals.
Among them, Ulquiorra's strength was undoubtedly at the level of the Four Emperors, possibly even surpassing them. His power stood at the very pinnacle of this world.
Take Rapid Regeneration, for example—this overpowered ability was nearly unbreakable in this world.
Esdeath's ice manipulation was also masterful; most Admirals were no match for her.
And Osiris was even more mysterious—Ye Chen was probably the only one who truly knew his strength. In the past, Osiris rarely revealed his full power, so others only regarded him as a powerful beast at Admiral level.
It was likely that people mistook Osiris for an Admiral simply because he was Ye Chen's mount.
Could a god of a world really only be at the Admiral level?
With Ulquiorra, Esdeath, and Osiris, this trio of peak warriors made their upcoming battle at the Holy Land almost a sure thing.
But Ye Chen still felt uneasy.
The Holy Land was the core of the World Government.
Since the World Government had ruled for over 800 years, it must have some trump cards up its sleeve.
After much consideration, Ye Chen finally decided to add one more lifeform to his team.
More strength meant a better chance at victory.
After all, they were about to face the monstrous World Government.
But before exchanging for a new lifeform, Ye Chen decided to boost his own power first.
"System," Ye Chen thought silently.
"Yes," a cold, emotionless voice immediately sounded in Ye Chen's mind.
"How many Devil Fruits are required to unlock the Rinnegan and the Reincarnation Eyes?"
Rinnegan: The godly eye of creation and destruction.
Reincarnation Eyes: The godly eye of destruction and creation.
Both were the highest-level dojutsu in the Naruto world.
"20,000 energy points," the system replied flatly.
"That's 20 Devil Fruits," Ye Chen frowned. He only had 22 Devil Fruits left. Using them to exchange for these eyes meant no more fruits left to trade for lifeforms.
"To exchange or not to exchange?" Ye Chen hesitated. If he unlocked these two dojutsu, his strength would skyrocket. At least he wouldn't worry about facing the Four Emperors.
But if he didn't exchange, he wouldn't be satisfied either.
And if he used the fruits to exchange for lifeforms, who knew what kind of creature he might get?
This dilemma left Ye Chen torn.
"Host is advised to exchange for these two eyes," the system suddenly suggested in his mind.
Ye Chen paused, puzzled, and asked, "Why?"
"If you exchange for these two dojutsu, your strength will increase greatly. If you don't, you won't be able to withstand some powerful enemies. Random exchange depends on luck; you were fortunate to get Ulquiorra and Esdeath. But do you think your luck can last forever?"
Ye Chen fell silent. The system's analysis hit the nail on the head—it voiced exactly his fear.
He feared exchanging for weak lifeforms. Pikachu was fine—at least it could be cute and control electricity. But what if he got a powerless human?
Since the system was connected to all worlds, exchanging for a mere human wasn't impossible.
If that happened, Ye Chen might vomit blood—wasting effort only to get a worthless human.
After half an hour of deep thought, Ye Chen finally abandoned the idea of exchanging for lifeforms. Power should come from himself.
And it wasn't too late to exchange later—there were plenty of Devil Fruits in this world, so no rush.
"Then I'll exchange for the Rinnegan and the Reincarnation Eyes," Ye Chen whispered.
"Proceed?"
"Yes."
The voice fell. All the Devil Fruits in the chest vanished, leaving an empty box.
"Exchange successful."
Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a warm current flowing through his eyes, followed by a sharp pain that made him close his eyes tightly.
After ten minutes, the pain subsided. Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes.
Black, wave-like stripes were etched across his eyes, with a blue glow beneath his pupils.
Ye Chen was naturally handsome, and these strange blue pupils added to his charm—making him look both righteous and sinister.
Ye Chen stretched out his right hand and whispered, "Gravitational Pull."
Immediately, a strong suction force exploded from his palm, pulling the nearby katana swiftly toward him.
"Not bad," Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, feeling the power granted by his new dojutsu.
He turned and gazed out the window, his eyes seemingly piercing through space to the Holy Land on the other side.
"Celestial Dragons, hehe, accept this gift—the hypocrisy of your justice."
...
Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's Office.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat solemnly at his desk. On his right sofa sat Garp, Tsuru, and Zephyr—three warriors who represented the previous era.
On his left sofa sat Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji—three current Admirals of Marine Headquarters.
Together with Sengoku, these six made up the highest military power and leadership.
However, Zephyr and Kizaru looked pale and were heavily bandaged—evidently their wounds had not yet healed.
Sengoku glanced around gravely and said, "I called you here because you should be generally aware of Dragon Knight Ye Chen."
