The next evening, Chiga and Kalifa appeared before a luxurious mansion.
Tonight, Chiga was wearing his favorite black robe with the Uchiha clan crest printed on it, instead of his Marine uniform. This way, if he really had to run away after causing trouble, it would be more convenient.
Kalifa's attire was still primarily black. At this moment, she nervously gripped Chiga's hand.
Chiga released her hand, patted her back, and gave her a reassuring smile. Then, he turned and walked into the mansion, with Kalifa hastily following him.
Two men in black stood at the entrance of the mansion. Upon seeing Chiga and Kalifa, they immediately extended their arms, blocking their path.
"Who are you? This is the residence of Saint Nerona, not a place for commoners. Get out!"
Chiga said nothing and continued walking inside, ignoring them.
"You're asking for death, you…"
Thud. The two men in black suddenly rolled their eyes in unison and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Kalifa secretly sighed. It seemed her boss was already prepared to turn hostile.
"Who goes there!?"
It had to be said that, as a Celestial Dragon's mansion, the security level was quite strict.
The two men in black at the entrance had fallen silently, yet the moment Chiga stepped inside, countless other men in black appeared around Chiga and Kalifa, glaring at them with ill intent.
Chiga had already lost patience with these loyal black-suited dogs. His eyes narrowed, and an overbearing aura erupted. All the men in black present followed the fate of the two at the entrance, leaving only one thin man in black standing there, bewildered.
Kalifa, behind Chiga, looked at the men in black lying on the ground and couldn't help but recall how she herself had lost consciousness from a similar attack by the Dark King.
"It's this again—the technique that Dark King Rayleigh called Conqueror's Haki. I didn't expect the boss to have mastered it so skillfully already."
Chiga looked at the remaining thin man in black and said indifferently,
"Go notify Nerona. Uchiha Chiga has arrived."
The thin man in black said nothing, turned his head, and went to notify his master.
A moment later, the thin man in black returned. This time, his face was covered in blood, as if he had been severely beaten. Seeing Chiga, he hastily said,
"Saint Nerona wants to see you. I'll lead the way."
As he spoke, Chiga noticed that the man's front teeth were missing. It seemed Nerona had done it to him. She really was as arrogant and tyrannical as the rumors said, treating people as less than human.
Nodding, Chiga followed the thin man in black, preparing to meet the so-called Nerona.
Entering a large hall deeper inside, there was a wide red carpet stretching to the far end of the hall. Led by the man in black, Chiga and Kalifa walked to the end of the red carpet, where there was a high platform.
Chiga slightly raised his head and saw Nerona sitting at the top of the platform. Beside her were two even more muscular men in black and a panting pug.
The woman was wearing the Celestial Dragon's signature astronaut suit. Her orange hair was exaggeratedly styled into a topknot, and she wore tinted sunglasses. Below the glasses, a transparent purple silk scarf was wrapped around her face, giving her a somewhat attractive appearance.
At this moment, Nerona lowered her eyelids, looking down at Chiga and the others with the gaze one would give to ants.
Upon seeing Nerona, a trace of fear appeared on the thin man in black's face in front of Chiga. Nevertheless, he stepped forward, respectfully preparing to report,
"Saint Nerona, I have brought Uchiha—"
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out. The thin man in black clutched his chest, looking incredulously at Nerona above. He opened his mouth to say something but spat out a large mouthful of blood, finally collapsing to the ground unwillingly.
Nerona held a smoking golden flintlock pistol in her hand. She glanced at the fallen man in black and said disdainfully,
"Useless trash."
After speaking, she didn't look at the fallen man again. Nerona turned to Chiga and said in a cold tone,
"Are you Uchiha Chiga? Do you know that you injured my people a few days ago? Do you think that just because you have the support of the Five Elders, you can forget your place, huh?"
Chiga scoffed and replied,
"I merely disciplined two dogs. Is there a problem?"
Hearing Chiga dare to retort to her like this, Nerona angrily raised her pistol again, aiming it at Chiga, intending to kill this disrespectful Marine.
However, Chiga no longer wanted to waste words with this woman. The moment Nerona aimed her gun at him, he had already appeared beside her, grabbing her arm.
Nerona was startled. The two men in black on either side of her had their pupils constrict, terrified by Chiga. In their eyes, Chiga's actions were a crime punishable by extermination of nine generations.
Recovering their senses, the two men in black dared not hesitate. They immediately used Busoshoku Haki, one on each side, attacking Chiga.
Chiga didn't even bother to look at their attacks. Although these two were clearly more than a level stronger than the other men in black, they were still no match for the current Chiga.
Chiga's body remained still. Repulsion erupted, and the two men in black were repelled before their fists could even touch Chiga. They slammed hard into the walls on either side of the great hall, then slid down like two broken rags, leaving two crimson bloodstains on the walls.
The fate of the two men in black completely panicked Nerona. Having been pampered and adored since childhood, she had never experienced such a scene. For a moment, she stood frozen, unable to speak.
Chiga's hand, gripping her arm, slid down and grabbed the golden flintlock pistol in her hand, snatching it from Nerona.
With the gun taken away, Nerona's last bit of confidence vanished. Her face finally showed a terrified expression. This was probably the first time she had felt fear in her life.
Chiga applied slight pressure with the hand holding the gun, and the valuable golden flintlock pistol instantly turned into a pile of fragments in his palm.
He held his hand above Nerona and released the fragments. They fell like snowflakes onto her transparent bubble headpiece, coating it with a layer of gold dust, sparkling quite beautifully.
Nerona rigidly turned her head to look at Chiga, feigning composure as she said,
"You lowly commoner, do you know who I am? Aren't you afraid that a Marine Admiral will kill you and everyone connected to you?"
Without responding, Chiga directly slapped her headpiece.
The bubble headpiece cracked before a second passed under Chiga's slap, and then Chiga's hand made intimate contact with Nerona's face.
Smack! The sound of the slap echoed repeatedly in the empty hall. Nerona was directly knocked to the ground, rolling down the stairs from the high platform, all the way to Kalifa's feet. Kalifa hastily dodged as if avoiding a plague.
Chiga had not used much force in that blow. Nerona's strong reaction was simply due to her extremely poor physique.
However, her consciousness was still clear. Nerona, lying on the ground, struggled to get up after a moment, one hand covering her swollen cheek, looking fearfully at Chiga on the high platform.
Chiga looked down at Nerona, who no longer had her arrogant demeanor, and sneered,
"Now, tell me, who are you?"
