Chapter 96: Studying Akainu's Body and Creating Pupil Black Flame, An Eternal Flame

Chapter 96: Studying Akainu's Body and Creating Pupil Black Flame, An Eternal Flame

"I'm not feeling well recently; let's try another day," Akainu muttered, attempting to leave the research room. Sengoku stopped him with a stern look.

"Akainu, you lost the bet. I suggest you accompany Chiba into the lab," Sengoku said coldly.

Sakazuki was furious but had no choice. The eyes of everyone around him left him no room to escape. Reluctantly, he agreed, "Fine, I'll go through with your research."

Chiba, in his research lab, wasn't gentle with Sakazuki. He cut a significant piece of flesh and bone from him, and Sakazuki's screams echoed through the lab daily.

Chiba didn't offer any mercy or healing for Sakazuki. In fact, he hoped Sakazuki might not survive the ordeal, but he refrained from delivering a lethal blow, knowing it would force him out of the Marines.

Time flew by, and ten days passed quickly.

[You have conducted slice research on Sakazuki's body. With a deep understanding of the Lava-Lava Fruit and your past life experiences, you have created the eternal black flame of the pupil technique.]

[Pupil Art: The Eternal Black Flame: Focus true energy in the eyes to summon an unending black flame from hell, burning all within your gaze.]

A torrent of information surged into Chiba's mind. Mysterious power coursed through his body, settling in his right eye. Numerous small meridians opened, allowing true energy to flow continuously.

With each practice session, Chiba's right eye grew stronger, ultimately capable of summoning the terrifying, never-extinguishing black flame.

Chiba was thrilled. This black flame could consume even other flames, and water couldn't extinguish it. With this power, he could easily overpower Akainu in future confrontations.

He continued to study Sakazuki for five more days, but found no new insights. Meanwhile, Lucci remained at Marineford, primarily to thank Chiba and acquire more resources for practice.

Chiba had a good impression of Lucci, who brought valuable Devil Fruit information and rare herbs. Chiba reciprocated by providing Lucci with significant cultivation resources, made especially for him.

At the port, Lucci bid farewell to Chiba. "Without your medicine and elixirs, I wouldn't have become the CPO leader so swiftly."

Chiba replied, "Without your information, I wouldn't have gained so many Devil Fruit materials and resources."

"Our collaboration could deepen," Lucci suggested, whispering, "I suspect you've developed water-related techniques allowing Devil Fruit users to swim."

Chiba's eyes narrowed, sensing Lucci's intentions. He knew Lucci had a plan but didn't acknowledge it. "You jest, Lucci. Devil Fruit users can't swim."

Lucci laughed, "I see, but others might figure it out too. Be prepared, especially since Akainu might catch on."

"With the new era of piracy, Marine needs strong leadership. You or Akainu will be the next Marine Marshal."

Chiba understood Lucci's favor but didn't admit to anything. "Thanks for the warning, Lucci. I'll handle Akainu."

Lucci nodded, "I'm interested in your water technique. Next time, I'll bring something irresistible to trade."

Chiba smiled, "We'll see. Farewell, Lucci."

As Lucci left, Chiba considered sharing his Black Water technique if Lucci brought something valuable enough.

Despite preferring Sengoku to remain Marshal, the damage from Whitebeard's assault meant Sengoku had to step down. Chiba was nominated as Marine headquarters' candidate by Sengoku, Aokiji, Tsuru, Hina, and Peacock. Kizaru stayed neutral, unsure who would prevail between Chiba and Akainu.

In Akainu's office, he cursed his realization of Chiba's water technique. Chiba's collapse technique obscured who ate the Shock Fruitโ€”be it Chiba, Koby, Helmeppo, or someone else.

"This b*****d," Akainu grumbled, but saw opportunity with Sengoku stepping down. Determined to become Marine Marshal, he aimed to bring justice and peace, unlike Chiba.

The Commander-in-Chief backed Akainu, urging him to hone his skills. Akainu sought to awaken his Lava-Lava Fruit and enhance his Haki, confident he'd surpass Chiba.

Sakazuki ordered his men, "Prepare a warship to the volcano I found."

On a nearby island, Hancock, Hina, and Peacock relaxed in bikinis. Koby and Helmeppo sparred, while Apu played music. Chiba practiced the eternal black flame, channeling true energy through his right eye's meridians.

Chiba's right eye grew stronger, extending his vision and imbuing it with mystical power. As he focused, black flames appeared, burning the sea surface. The flames, even turning steam into blue flames, demonstrated their potency.

An unfortunate Sea King fled from the heat, but Chiba's gaze followed, the black flame consuming it underwater.

Hancock noticed and asked, "Chiba, what is that black flame?"

Chiba smiled, "It's hellfire, impervious to ordinary water."

Chiba knew only the true Black Water technique could extinguish the flame, a technique he shared only with a select few.

The phone rang, and Sengoku's voice came through.

"Chiba, the commander-in-chief announced the next marshal will be you or Akainu. Marines need strong leadership, so whoever wins commands."

Chiba sighed, "Troublesome. Maybe you should show your strength, Sengoku. I bet they'd re-elect you."

"Enough jokes. We've recommended you. Aokiji, Tsuru, Hina, Peacock, and I believe in you. Don't let us down."

"I'll do my best," Chiba assured.

"You must defeat Akainu and become marshal. Only you can lead Marines against pirates and bring peace."

"That's a heavy crown, but I'm confident against Akainu."

"Don't underestimate him. He trained in a volcano, awakening his Lava-Lava Fruit and enhancing his Haki. Are you sure?"

"Even so, I'm certain of victory."

"Great, I'll await your success," Sengoku chuckled, ending the call.

Tsuru Vice Admiral voiced concern, "Chiba's confidence worries me. Akainu's strength is formidable."

Sengoku chuckled, "I trust Chiba. He has what it takes."

After the call, Chiba took pills to enhance his Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, feeling a breakthrough. With spiritual particles evolving, his power surged anew.
