Chapter 210: Killing Coby

"Of course not... who knows where that Straw Hat kid has run off to now?"

Uchiha Feiyu shook his head. Let Luffy help? Better forget about that!

Before the Straw Hat Pirates met Nami, their route was completely uncontrollable. That a certain future Pirate King could stay alive to meet his own Navigator can only be called a blessing of fate; a Nika Fruit user comes with their own great fortune.

Before arriving at the 153rd Marine Branch, Luffy set sail drifting in a barrel. After finding his first partner, the green-haired moss-head with no sense of direction here, the rubber boy would soon stage a bizarre adventure involving a strange bird and food.

Even if Nami is the best Navigator in the entire East Blue, trying to catch up with the Straw Hat Pirates, whose route is like sleepwalking, is an incredibly difficult task. At most, one can find a way to intercept the Straw Hat crew elsewhere first.

However, although it isn't difficult for the Straw Hat crew to beat up the Arlong Pirates, it isn't easy to make Nami believe in their strength. Therefore, the person Uchiha Feiyu is looking for is naturally not that Straw Hat kid.

"Forget it, I'll just tell you the answer directly! The person who defeated Marine Colonel Morgan is named Luffy, full name Monkey D Luffy. As for his identity, he is the son of the current Revolutionary Army leader and the world's most heinous criminal, Monkey D Dragon, and also the grandson of the current Marine Vice Admiral and Marine Hero, Monkey D Garp!"

"This identity... is so complicated... Why did the Marine Hero's son go off to become a revolutionary? And the grandson went off to become a pirate? I feel like I can't understand this family at all..."

Nami only thought about the identities of the grandfather and grandson for a moment before feeling a bit dizzy, and she couldn't help but complain out loud.

"Hmm... how should I put it? I think this is quite normal. After all, there are quite a lot of rebellious children these days."

The three Luffy brothers are each more rebellious than the last. Sabo, born a noble, went off to join the Revolutionary Army; Ace, the Pirate King's son, went off to acknowledge Whitebeard as his father. Luffy's actions are just continuing a consistent tradition.

Think about Sanji and Yamato; each one can be called a case of 'father is kind and son is filial,' where getting into a big fight with their own father is already a common occurrence.

Just like how being a teacher in the Naruto World is a high-risk profession, being a father in the One Piece World, while not exactly a high-risk profession (mainly because the sons, grandsons, and daughters often can't beat the fathers and grandfathers), has a greatly increased possibility of raising a rebellious child. There are very few cases in the entire One Piece World where the father-son relationship is harmonious—foster fathers excepted.

"Don't worry about those messy relationships for now. As far as I know, after being defeated by Luffy, the things that Marine Colonel did in the past have all been exposed, and the news has now reached Marine Headquarters."

"Marine Headquarters has already dispatched a transport ship to arrest this corrupt Marine Colonel, and the person leading it is none other than the Marine Hero Garp."

"As far as I know, the reason the East Blue can be the most peaceful sea in the Four Seas today is largely because this is the hometown of the Marine Hero Garp. Generally, any pirates who dare to jump around too happily in this sea are basically crushed by Garp, who often returns to his hometown to take a look."

"The remaining pirates are either lacking in strength or have to keep a low profile. If they can't do either, they have to hurry off to the Grand Line before Garp notices them."

Uchiha Feiyu explained a few things to Nami, and in reality, the pirates of the East Blue indeed all do exactly that.

Pirates like the Buggy Pirates or the Arlong Pirates either focus on digging for treasure and aren't very dangerous, or they simply collude with the Marines to cover up their own information. They might have some fame in the East Blue, but once they leave the East Blue, nobody knows them at all.

As for the most famous pirate in the East Blue, Krieg, known as the Admiral of the East Blue, the reason he was doing just fine as a local tyrant but suddenly changed his mind to go to the Grand Line to seek abuse is likely because of Garp's deterrent power.

"You mean to say, let us go find Vice Admiral Garp to solve the Arlong problem?"

Nami's eyes were bright and full of joy. The reputation of the Marine Hero Garp had spread across the entire ocean, and especially here in the East Blue, it was practically legendary.

No matter how highly Nami thought of the Arlong Pirates or that shark-man Arlong, she wouldn't think they had the strength to confront a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, let alone the strongest among the Headquarters Vice Admirals, the Marine Hero Garp.

Moreover, Garp's reputation in the East Blue is excellent. If nothing else, whenever this guy has nothing to do and returns to his hometown, he always sweeps through the pirates of the East Blue. All the residents of the East Blue know what kind of person this Marine Hero is.

Because of this, even Nami, who didn't have much trust in the Marines because of Colonel Rat, had absolute confidence in Garp.

"Now you believe me! With the strength and actions of the Arlong Pirates, as long as they are exposed in front of Garp, the result will definitely be eating prison food in Impel Down. If they are a bit unlucky, they'll probably be killed with a single punch."

Hearing Uchiha Feiyu's words, Nami nodded repeatedly. In reality, it was just that Garp was elusive, and as a Marine Hero, the route of his ship was not something a little thief cat like Nami could inquire about; otherwise, Nami would have run off to report them long ago.

"But... that Marine Hero holds a high position of power in the Marines, so he shouldn't be easy to approach, right..."

"Rest assured... Garp's whole family, except for his mutant son, is relatively easy to approach."

Uchiha Feiyu shook his head. If you ask who is the strongest among the Marine high-ups, everyone has their own opinion, and there is no definitive answer.

But if you ask who among the Marine high-ups is the most approachable and has the least airs, it is definitely Garp, without a doubt.

"Really? Don't let it end up where we can't even get in touch with that Marine Hero..."

"I've said it before, rest assured. When you actually see this Marine Hero one day, you will understand what I said... as long as your jaw doesn't drop to the floor when that time comes."

Speaking of this, a strange smile appeared on Uchiha Feiyu's face.

Compared to the Naruto World, the hierarchy and rules of the One Piece World are actually not that strict. Except for certain idiots, the Celestial Dragons, the overall atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

Even Akainu, who is famous for valuing rules, isn't exactly harsh on his subordinates, except on the battlefield.

Otherwise, after the Summit War ended, that guy Coby would have been thrown into Impel Down; how could he still become the second-generation Marine Hero?

And even among the Marines, where the hierarchy is very blurred, Garp is the kind of oddball who completely ignores rank. Honestly, that this guy didn't end up becoming a pirate but chose to be a Marine is truly because his relationship with Sengoku is solid enough.

Knowing the goal, Nami finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two found an inn in the town to stay in, waiting for Garp's arrival.

This waiting time could not be wasted. Nami had just eaten the Devil Fruit and was at the moment when her potential was exploding. Meanwhile, Uchiha Feiyu, after using the Yin Corpse Painted Skin Scripture to absorb Alvida's potential, had also greatly accelerated his cultivation speed, and he was similarly obsessed with training during this time.

After staying in this small town for about seven or eight days, Uchiha Feiyu had also inquired about all the intelligence.

Although there is no Genjutsu in this world, powerful mental strength can still achieve a certain level of Hypnosis. It has no effect in top-tier battles, but it is still very easy to extract intelligence from the mouths of ordinary Marines.

Through the Marines in the town, Uchiha Feiyu already knew Garp's itinerary. In about five or six days, that Marine Hero would be able to arrive at the 153rd Marine Branch.

At the same time, Uchiha Feiyu had also found out the location of another person—this was the real goal for Uchiha Feiyu having Nami bring him to the 153rd base.

Otherwise, with Uchiha Feiyu's strength, although the upper limit isn't high, if he cultivated for another two months, plus the techniques he knows, wiping out the Arlong Pirates really wouldn't be difficult. He wouldn't need to find outside help, and he could have gained more of Nami's gratitude.

Night slowly descended. Uchiha Feiyu walked out of the room and arrived at the Marine branch base silently.

The two Marines standing at the gate of the branch base saw Uchiha Feiyu arrive, but they acted as if they didn't see him at all. Clearly, he had already done some tricks beforehand.

"Although the Hypnosis ability in this world is greatly restricted, at least for a short time, there's no need to worry about ordinary Marine soldiers."

"Let me see, where exactly is the target I'm looking for?"

Walking past one building after another, Uchiha Feiyu finally saw a figure sweating on the Marine training ground.

That figure was short and chubby, looking like a winter melon, covered in sweat, with pink hair and a pair of glasses. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like a person with perseverance or potential.

Yet, it was this pink-haired, short, chubby, bespectacled man before him who, after only two years of training, possessed strength that could be called outstanding even among Marine Elite Vice Admirals, and he even succeeded to the title of the second-generation Marine Hero.

That's right, this guy is Coby, whose talent is "200 times the effort"!

Although Uchiha Feiyu couldn't understand what that abstract 200 times the effort was all about—could it be that an ordinary Marine trains for two hours a day, and Coby trains for 400 hours a day? An ordinary Marine carries 20 kilograms during training, and Coby carries four tons?

He couldn't squeeze out that much time in a day! Besides, carrying four tons when your physique isn't up to par isn't called training; it's called suicide, okay!

But no matter how abstract this guy's talent is, it is certain that this second-generation Marine Hero has infinite potential. In two years, he grew from a short, chubby winter melon with no strength into a master at the level of a Marine Elite Vice Admiral, and he didn't eat any Devil Fruit during this period—the speed of this guy's progress is even more exaggerated than those monsters born with an Undying Body and Iron Balloon!

Like Big Mom, at five years old, she could kill the hero of the Giant village in a berserk state, and she even displayed strength close to a one-hit kill. However, decades have passed, and her peak strength is actually not very satisfactory; at least among the Four Emperors, she can be called the weakest one.

Compared to her, the other Four Emperors were far inferior to her at the starting stage, but in terms of progress speed, they left Charlotte Linlin so far behind that she couldn't even see their exhaust. Especially Shanks, who was originally a small partner pecking at Buggy, but eventually was able to reach the realm of the Four Emperors. It can be said that his growth potential was maxed out.

"In terms of growth potential, even Shanks is far worse than Coby. If I can absorb this guy's potential, give me a year or two, and I will definitely be able to possess strength above the Four Emperors."

Looking at Coby, who was exercising, Uchiha Feiyu quickly reached a conclusion—mainly because he discovered that although Coby, this little fatty, had many errors in his training and theoretically the efficiency shouldn't be very high, in reality, the aura on his body was rising in an extremely subtle way.

Getting stronger just by training is a bit abnormal; let alone in reality, even in the One Piece World, those who can show improvement while training are either in a growth spurt or are absolute monsters of potential.

"Huh, who are you?"

Panting heavily, Coby finally felt his stamina was exhausted and stopped his training; it was at this moment that he saw Uchiha Feiyu standing on the perimeter of the training ground, looking at him with a strange gaze.

However, Coby did not really doubt Uchiha Feiyu's identity; he had only joined the Marine for about ten days and had not even recognized everyone in the base, so seeing a stranger did not immediately make him think of an intruder.

"Me? I'm here specifically to maintain the training equipment for this base; I recently noticed that the rate of damage to the training equipment has increased, so I came to take a look."

Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes and spoke; hearing this, Coby, who was not particularly clever to begin with, did not think much of it and hurriedly bowed to Uchiha Feiyu:

"Sorry, my training time has been a bit long recently, so the training equipment might have worn out faster..."

"It's fine—anyway, you won't need to train anymore from now on!"

Looking at Coby bowing to him, Uchiha Feiyu said with a half-smile, instantly reaching out to draw his blade; a flash of incredibly fast blade light streaked by, instantly severing Coby's head.

Coby's head fell to the ground, a trace of confusion appearing in his eyes; he opened his mouth, but could not say a single word.

His strength was already far above the current Coby's, and by taking advantage of Coby training until he was exhausted, then using deception to launch a sneak attack, it was naturally easy to succeed without causing the slightest commotion in this base.

Afterward, Uchiha Feiyu gently sheathed his blade, his face showing not a hint of guilt, and simply reached out his hand and pressed it onto Coby's body.

In an instant, Coby's body was directly absorbed clean by Uchiha Feiyu, and at the same time, the Yin Corpse Painted Skin Scripture was activated; the destiny and potential that Uchiha Feiyu had originally plundered from Alvida were immediately replaced by Coby's.
