Chapter 78: God Elephant's Prison-Suppressing Power Advances, Strength Soars to Four Emperors Level
"Rayleigh, come on, you're already a public enemy of the Marines."
"Not bad this time."
"Here, take these three Foundation Establishment Pills as my reward to you."
Chiba said, tossing the three pills to Rayleigh.
Rayleigh took the pills, glanced at Chiba with a hint of dissatisfaction, and said, "Do you really think I'm a greedy villain? I've given you my word, and I'll keep it. Don't worry, I'll do what I promised."
"Hehe, alright, Pluton is worthy of his name. In that case, you can hand those pills back," Chiba teased, only for Rayleigh to quickly stash them away and smile, "Once given, there's no taking back."
Chiba chuckled, "Old man, you're really a sly one."
With a more serious tone, Chiba continued, "Then, I'll leave the rest to you."
"Don't worry," Rayleigh replied, his smile fading as he asked, "What are your plans now?"
"Half a month ago, the Marines summoned Hancock to Marineford. I plan to return with her."
"Then I'll let Luffy know to see you off."
"Forget it, isn't he planning to save Ace? You should escort him to Impel Down."
"Let him cause a ruckus and get my people out."
"The Director of Impel Down isn't to be underestimated. Can Luffy handle it?"
"Aren't you there to help?"
"Me? Can my old bones withstand Magellan's poison?"
"Hehe, don't worry, I've already arranged things at Impel Down. You go stir things up, spar with Magellan, and leave the rest to Luffy. Someone will assist him."
"I really can't figure you out."
"Which side are you on?"
"I'm on my own side."
"I'm off, no need to see me out." Chiba waved and set sail with Hina, Hancock, and others toward Marineford.
On the boat, Chiba didn't waste time, focusing on his training.
Transitioning from the Giant Elephant Realm to the Spiritual Realm is a significant leap, requiring immense energy.
Only Marineford could provide that energy.
To expedite the journey, Chiba employed the Lightning Swimming Dragon Technique, reaching Marineford in less than half a day.
Upon arrival, Chiba headed straight to the marshal's office.
Outside the office, he heard Sengoku yelling, "Chiba, that brat, went to Impel Down to see Ace. What's he planning? A prison break?"
"Ace is Chiba's brother. Now that Ace is facing execution, what's wrong with Chiba visiting him?" Garp defended.
"Garp, do you think I want to execute Ace? It's an order from above. As a soldier, obeying orders is our duty. You're a Marine hero, admired worldwide. Your actions influence millions. Don't undermine justice and alienate people from the Marines," Sengoku warned Garp against acting on personal feelings to rescue Ace.
Knock, knock...
Chiba knocked on the door.
"Come in," Sengoku barked.
"Grandpa Sengoku, I'm back," Chiba greeted with a smile.
Sengoku paused, then erupted, "You little brat, you finally return! Do you know Whitebeard, Shanks, the Revolutionary Army, and World Government are all looking for you? If they catch you, do you realize the consequences?"
Sengoku's voice shook the office.
"Grandpa Sengoku, please calm down. I had to leave to find materials for my breakthrough," Chiba explained, smiling.
Sengoku, still furious, retorted, "What materials can't the Marines provide that you had to leave?"
"Hehe, Grandpa Sengoku, didn't you mention the Marines are short on funds? The materials I need are quite costly. I didn't want to burden you."
Sengoku's anger subsided slightly, appreciating Chiba's consideration. But Chiba's next words made him freeze.
"Since you've mentioned it, Grandpa Sengoku, I haven't gathered all the materials yet. Could you help with the remaining ones?" Chiba handed over a lengthy list of materials to Sengoku.
Sengoku glanced at it, his eyes widening. "Boy, these materials are worth at least 20 billion Berries."
"See, I'm only asking for the least valuable ones, and you're already hesitating, Grandpa Sengoku."
"Who said I can't handle it?" Sengoku huffed, determined to uphold his image. "20 billion Berries is manageable."
Having resolved to dip into the treasury, Sengoku said confidently, "Chiba, this is nothing for your Grandpa Sengoku. Let's get those materials now."
Chiba was surprised, "Grandpa Sengoku, don't you need time to gather them?"
"I have my ways," Sengoku declared, thinking, "Luckily, there's a surplus of precious materials this time."
Sengoku's smile widened at Chiba's surprise.
He led Chiba to the treasure house, filled with gold, jewels, and rare materials.
Chiba was awestruck by the wealth. "The Marines are really wealthy. I should have asked for more."
Chiba eagerly instructed his men to gather materials. Sengoku, watching the stockpile diminish, intervened, "Chiba, enough is enough. Your list is filled. Don't take advantage."
Chiba grinned, "Grandpa Sengoku, I didn't list everything. I'll collect the rest myself. But since you have so much here, I'll help myself."
"Move it all!" Chiba yelled, then turned to Sengoku, "I won't leave again, so I'm relying on you for materials."
"Oh, alright, as long as you stay," Sengoku replied, though his heart ached watching the materials disappear.
If Chiba stays, it's worth it.
"Hehe, Grandpa Sengoku, you look unwell. If you're worried about the materials, I'll stop. I can find them outside."
"Don't be ridiculous. Move as much as you can. I'll even get more help if needed."
"Thanks, Grandpa Sengoku, but I can manage," Chiba said, using his true energy to carry the heaviest materials.
Sengoku winced at the sight, knowing Chiba's haul was worth billions.
As Chiba left, Sengoku ordered, "Close the warehouse. No one enters without my command."
When Chiba returned, the warehouse was locked, guarded by Marines.
"Open up, I need more materials."
"Sorry, sir, orders from the marshal."
"Sengoku promised me. I've only moved once. I need to speak with him."
Chiba searched for Sengoku but couldn't find him, realizing he was avoiding him.
"Never mind, I got plenty," Chiba thought, understanding Sengoku's reluctance.
With the materials he had, Chiba began crafting a new elixir.
A day later...
[You have conducted in-depth research on your physical condition and the characteristics of various materials, creating the Fabulous Spirit Pill.]
[Fabulous Spirit Pill: Harnesses the fortunes of heaven and earth, infuses the mysteries of the sun and moon, providing immense energy to evolve body particles and transform true energy into spiritual power.]
The formula, requiring 390 materials, crystallized in Chiba's mind.
He began refining the elixir according to the formula.
Five days passed.
Above the Chiba Research Institute, spiritual energy gathered, forming a strong wind that lasted half a day.
When it dissipated, a rich medicinal fragrance permeated the air.
The staff at the institute felt invigorated just by the scent, their minds clear and bodies at ease.
"What is this elixir? Just smelling it feels so refreshing."
"I bet this elixir is extraordinary."
"If we tasted it, we'd be healthy for life."
"Perhaps Master Chiba has discovered the secret to longevity."
The researchers buzzed with excitement, spreading news of Chiba's new elixir.
In Chiba's lab, thirty-six pills gleamed like pearls, each imbued with potent power.
Chiba carefully stored thirty pills, taking one for himself and activating the god-elephant-suppressing power.
The pill dissolved, its power surpassing any Foundation Establishment Pill.
The energy coursed through him, interacting with the giant elephant particles, which began shrinking, transforming into spiritual particles.
These particles produced spiritual power, far surpassing the vitality of true energy, nurturing his body and stimulating further transformation.
In moments, 100,000 particles transformed.
In ten minutes, a million.
The process accelerated as spiritual power increased.
Three days later...
Chiba consumed his twenty-fifth pill as the last particles transformed.
His entire body now consisted of spiritual power, his physical energy multiplied and enriched with spirit, capable of absorbing ambient energy.
Chiba was like a black hole, constantly drawing in power.
Though slow, he accelerated the process with five more pills, stabilizing his realm after half a day.
He felt the surge of power within him, inexhaustible and continuous.
His Armament Haki, dormant for some time, broke through, becoming dense and solid, forming black belts tinged with pink.
A new sensation filled him.
Chiba harnessed this, transforming the black belts to pink, resembling floating Sakura petals.
He tested his power on a super-hard board, punching through its surface and destroying the table beneath.
"This is Armament Haki's Emission form, penetrating defenses for internal destruction. A formidable force."
With his enhanced body, Chiba's physical strength reached the quasi-Four Emperors level.
But his abilities exceeded this. With improved god-elephant power, his foundations were stronger, boosting all energies.
His Observation Haki could hear thoughts and predict movements.
His Conqueror's Haki advanced, allowing precise control and targeting.
With these powers, Chiba stood on par with Kaido, ready to dominate the seas.
Combined with his Black Water True Method, superior destructive magic, and demon immunity, his strength soared.
Chiba had transformed into a top-tier powerhouse in the pirate world.
He glanced at the clock; Ace's execution was tomorrow.
One day remained to master his power.
Tomorrow, the Summit War awaited, an unparalleled battle calling him.
