Qian He sat in the spectator seat bored, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep. He no longer had to participate in the next game.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that he was eliminated, but the assessment rules were changed. Since Qian He's strength is really not at the same level as others, the top management decided to separate him out and no longer participate in the competition.

The unlucky guy Kulis who met Qian He in the first game can also participate again.

The assessment of Qian He was changed from sparring with students to a lieutenant general sent by the headquarters to assess him. Before this, the headquarters had asked Qian He's opinion. After all, this is definitely unfair to Qian He.

However, the headquarters decided that no matter how Qian He performed in the battle with the lieutenant general, a devil fruit would definitely be given.

Qian He had no objection to this arrangement. This would save trouble and avoid the embarrassment of eliminating acquaintances.

Today is the third day of the competition. The four finalists in the four groups of ABCD are Ain, Smoker, Binz and Glefus.

In the end, Glefus was eliminated, and Smoker, Binz, and Ain ranked first, second, and third respectively.

Smoker did not choose a devil fruit or a large sword. He put forward his own request, which was to have a ten-handed weapon embedded with seastone.

The Navy Headquarters also agreed. After all, Smoker is also a natural ability user, and he is the first place in this competition, although Chiga did not participate in the final competition.

Binz chose a large sword with a green handle, named Midori Ra.

What is puzzling is that Ain, as a user with an ability, actually chose a devil fruit, and because she was the third place, she could only choose an unknown fruit that was not in the illustrated manual.

Ain silently returned to the spectator seat holding a devil fruit, and her roommate next to her immediately asked the reason.

Ain pursed her lips and recalled a conversation she had with Chiga before the assessment.

"What kind of reward would you like for this assessment? Anyway, I can't think of anyone else who can take first place except you."

"Devil Fruit, this has a special meaning to me."

"Special meaning?"

"Haha, keep it a secret. I can only say that it has been very helpful in improving my strength."

"Do you want to eat?"

"Don't eat it. If you eat it, you will become a landlubber.!"

"……Who are you talking about?"

"Uh uh, Soray"

"Don't tell me, this is your secret, but I know it"

"What do you know?"

"Hehe, secret"

"……"

Putting away her thoughts, Aiyin turned around and said to her roommate with a smile,

"Because there is really nothing left. Maybe the devil fruit can be exchanged for money in the future."

The roommate thought about it and felt that it was right. He did not dwell on this issue anymore and continued,

"Well, you are still a little money-grubber. Let's watch the game. The next one is the highlight, the duel between Uchiha Chiga and the vice admiral of the headquarters. Tsk, tsk, this has never happened before. This Uchiha Chiga is really a monster. He is not at the same level as us at all."

Hearing her roommate say Chiga is a monster, Aiyin gave her a reproachful look. The roommate then remembered that this person was almost a little fangirl of Uchiha Chiga. She was caught red-handed. With an awkward smile, she hurriedly said,

"Oh, oh, watch the game, it's about to start!"

Ain was not really angry. He put away the devil fruit in his hand and quietly waited for the next game in his seat.

At this time, the venue had been cleaned and repaired. Jiaji, wearing a coat of justice, appeared on the stage. Today he did not wear the black suit inside, but instead wore the brown casual clothes that he felt most comfortable.

Jiaji took the microphone, cleared his throat, and announced to the people around him,

"The next battle will be between Uchiha Chiga and the vice admiral of the headquarters. Considering that Uchiha Chiga's strength is somewhat inferior to other students, this arrangement has been made and his consent has been obtained."

Everyone in the field has already known this news, so there is no special reaction. Seeing that the scene is calm, Kaji continued,

"Regardless of the outcome of this competition, Qianhe will be rewarded with a devil fruit, and if he wins, then……"

At this point, Kaji deliberately kept the audience in suspense, wanting to whet their appetite, but the audience didn't buy it at all. After a while, a lot of banana peels and egg shells appeared next to Kaji. Wiping the cold sweat from his head, Kaji didn't delay any longer and hurriedly said,

"If student Chiga wins, he will at least get the rank of brigadier general when he graduates!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd went wild. Before, even the first place in the elite training camp could only get the rank of colonel at most, and there was a difficult gap between colonel and brigadier general. You have to know that brigadier general has already stepped half a foot into the top of the Navy Headquarters. This Uchiha Chiga is only 17 years old this year, a 17-year-old brigadier general?

But on second thought, the premise is to beat the vice admiral, which is even more outrageous. The winner of the Navy Headquarters has actually entered the camp of the top of the Navy Headquarters. Although his performance in the anime is a bit disappointing, he still has the strength.

Maybe it's just a big pie drawn by the top leaders of the headquarters as a gimmick, and the people present thought so.

Not only the audience, but also many high-ranking naval officers on the podium thought so, except Zefa and Sengoku.

Hearing the news, He looked at Sengoku in surprise and asked,

"Zhan Guo, what's the point of doing this? Just to add a gimmick?"

The other senior naval officers also looked at Garp. This was the question they wanted to ask.

Zhan Guo shook his head, staring at the audience, and said,

"I got confirmation from Zephyr that Uchiha Chiga currently has at least the combat power of a lieutenant general."

"What?!"

Zhan Guo's words were like a bombshell, which stunned everyone. Everyone looked at Zefa again, and Zefa nodded seriously.

This growth rate is really amazing. With Zefa's character, he would not joke about such things. So the 17-year-old Chihe now has the combat power of a lieutenant general of the headquarters?

Gion, who was sitting next to He, put his legs together, folded his hands on his thighs, and stared at Chihe in the spectator seats with a pair of peach blossom eyes, with a subtle expression. Chihe in the stands seemed to have a feeling, looked up at the position of the high platform, and fixed his eyes on Gion who was looking at him.

Chihe smiled slightly and made a few mouth shapes to Gion, which made Gion's face blush. With her strength, she could see it clearly and understood what Chihe meant.

"Don't forget the promise, Sister Gion."

Gion certainly wouldn't forget it, she remembered it more clearly than anyone else, and she also used lip language to express her meaning to Qianhe,

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but are you a little too proud of yourself? Are you so confident that you can defeat that lieutenant general?"

Qian He did not make any extra explanations, but just said three words again with his lips.

"Believe me."

After receiving Qianhe's reply, Gion no longer communicated with him. She had already got the answer she wanted most.

Although she didn't know how strong Qianhe was, she always felt safe from him. It was this feeling that made her lost in it. She whispered,

"You really have to do it, Chika."
