章 14: Chapter 14: The Kind Crane Vice Admiral, Akainu's Melancholy
Chiba, ever perceptive, quickly understood the meaning behind Sengoku's words. However, he felt it was unnecessary to exaggerate the facts. Overstating his achievements could easily become ammunition for his opponents.
He calmly explained the effects of the body-building energy liquid in detail. "Reporting to the Marshal, after two months, I have successfully completed my mission and developed the primary energy training liquid."
"The elementary body-training energy liquid can reduce the difficulty Marines face while practicing qi and body exercises by 50%. It also repairs the damage sustained during training, increases cell energy, and enhances training efficiency by three to four times..."
"Excellent." Before Chiba could finish, Sengoku slammed the table, applauding loudly. "Rear Admiral Chiba, the commander-in-chief's faith in you was not misplaced. In just two months, you've achieved such significant results."
Vice Admiral Tsuru, with a serious expression, turned to Chiba. "Rear Admiral Chiba, does your medicine truly repair damage, enhance cell energy, and increase training efficiency by three to four times? Are you not exaggerating?"
Chiba saluted respectfully. "Vice Admiral Tsuru, I assure you there is no exaggeration."
"If your liquid truly has such effects, I, this old woman, will fully support your promotion to Vice Admiral."
Akainu snorted. "Vice Admiral Tsuru, don't be so easily convinced. The Marines have the world's most advanced medical experts, and even they have not developed such a medicine. Do you think this kid could do it?"
Chiba shot a cold glare at Akainu. I may not be able to take this dog down now, but I'm in no rush. My strength grows daily. It won't be long before I can grind him into the ground.
Chiba then pulled out a bottle of green liquid from his coat and handed it to Vice Admiral Tsuru. "Senior Tsuru, this is the body-building foundation liquid. You may test its effects."
"Alright, let me try it," Tsuru said as she prepared to drink it. But Sengoku quickly intervened. "Wait, Vice Admiral Tsuru, since we're all here, why not share it among us so everyone can experience its effects?"
Tsuru smiled lightly and agreed. She divided the 500ml potion into 20 parts, giving each person 25ml.
Chiba warned, "Seniors, the dosage you've taken is quite small, so the effect will be significantly reduced."
"Hehe, that's alright. Even with a small amount, I can still deduce the potion's specific effects," Tsuru reassured him with a smile. Sengoku added, "Rear Admiral Chiba, you might not know, but Vice Admiral Tsuru is also quite skilled in medicine. Rest assured."
"It's all smoke and mirrors, an excuse for the potion's poor efficacy," one of Sakazuki's subordinates whispered to him.
Sakazuki responded telepathically, "No matter the outcome, we'll claim the potion isn't effective. The Garp family will not gain another Vice Admiral."
As the group drank the potion, they felt a warm sensation spreading through their bodies. The heat dissipated, flowing into their limbs. Each person assumed a stance from their Qi and Physical Exercises, allowing the energy to circulate through their organs, healing old injuries and revitalizing them.
Expressions of comfort and amazement spread across their faces. When the potion's effect faded, they opened their eyes, faces filled with shock and delight.
"Excellent potion, truly remarkable. I, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, fully support Rear Admiral Chiba's promotion to Vice Admiral."
Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel smiled at Chiba. "Vice Admiral Chiba, would you be willing to sell me a bottle? I'll pay 10 million Berries for one."
The ghost spider, another Vice Admiral, quickly interjected. "Flying Squirrel, you're too stingy. You expect to buy such a potion for just 10 million Berries? That's robbery."
"Rear Admiral Chiba, I'm willing to offer 20 million Berries per bottle. If you make more, can you sell it to me first?"
"Ghost Spider, why should you get it first? I can also pay 20 million Berries," Vice Admiral Volcano challenged, standing up.
The ghost spider scowled. "Volcano, are you looking for a fight?"
"Heh, you think I'm afraid of you?" Volcano shot back, his aura flaring up.
Just then, a strange energy rippled through the room, immobilizing the two Vice Admirals. They were suspended in the air like limp clothing, held in place.
"Quiet down, all of you. Show some decorum," Vice Admiral Tsuru said, having activated her Wash-Wash Fruit ability.
Hanging helplessly, the two Vice Admirals pleaded, "Senior Tsuru, we were wrong."
Only then did Tsuru deactivate her power, and the two Vice Admirals returned to their normal forms, standing aside quietly.
Chiba's heart skipped a beat. Vice Admiral Tsuru easily subdued two Vice Admirals. Her strength is far beyond what I imagined.
Tsuru's face softened with a gentle smile. "Little Chiba, your grandfather, Garp, and I fought side by side in many battles. I treated him many times when he was injured."
Garp, picking his nose, grumbled. These old comrades were once again playing the sentimental card, but since he had a good relationship with Sengoku and Tsuru, he chose to remain silent.
Chiba bowed respectfully. "I thank Vice Admiral Tsuru on behalf of my grandfather for all your care."
"Hehe, from now on, don't call me Vice Admiral Tsuru. Your grandfather and I are old friends. If you don't mind, just call me Grandma Tsuru."
Her eyes shone with warmth. Chiba knew she saw potential in him and wanted to build a connection. He was more than willing to foster good relations with such a powerful ally. In the complex and vast system of the Marines, it was better to have more friends than enemies.
Chiba immediately seized the opportunity, smiling warmly. "Grandma Tsuru."
"Hehe, good boy." Tsuru's smile grew even brighter.
Chiba continued, "Grandma Tsuru, I've noticed that your complexion could use some care. How about this—I'll personally prepare the finest energy liquid for you, using the best ingredients, to nourish and strengthen your body. You can't refuse this gesture of respect from the younger generation."
"Hehehe, such a thoughtful boy. I won't say no, then," Tsuru replied, her smile widening. She then turned to Garp. "Garp, you've truly raised a fine grandson."
"My stance is clear—anyone who tries to prevent my Chiba from becoming Vice Admiral is opposing me."
Hearing this, Akainu's face turned an angry shade of red, as if he had swallowed a bitter pill.
