Some of the customers in the bar burst out laughing when they heard Senga say that it would rain in the next few days.
"Are you kidding me? It hardly ever rains in Foosha Village all year round. How can he be so sure it will rain?"
"Yeah, he thinks he can just make it rain whenever he wants? Who does he think he is?"
"Young people just love to talk big!"
Makino felt very uncomfortable listening to these people's discussions. In her opinion, Senga was young and promising but not arrogant, and he would personally take care of Luffy and Ace. It could be said that Senga had an extremely good impression on her.
So, the usually gentle Machina was unusually angry today, and she shouted at the people in the bar.
"He wasn't exaggerating! He's Marine Vice Admiral Uchiha Senga!"
After saying that, Makino turned and went into the back room, took out an umbrella and placed it next to the counter to show her trust in Senga.
The patrons in the bar exchanged bewildered glances. It was the first time they had ever seen Makino lose her temper, and from Makino's words, they learned the identity of the young man from earlier.
The youngest Vice Admiral in the Navy, Uchiha Senga, is rumored to be most terrifying for his bizarre and unpredictable abilities, capable of performing many incredible feats and turning the mundane into the miraculous.
Thinking of this, the guests who had just been mocking Senga finished their drinks in one gulp, and then went to the counter to pay their bills, some even expressing their apologies.
After returning home, they all unanimously gave their families the same piece of advice:
"It's going to rain these next few days, remember to bring an umbrella when you go out!"
After returning to the warship, Senga rested for a day. After resting, he took some time to explain to Garp the results of his teaching.
"Vice Admiral Garp, I've done my best to handle what you asked for. I can't change Luffy, but Ace probably won't be a pirate anymore."
"Really, Senga!? You've done a great job! I owe you a huge favor; this result has already exceeded my expectations!"
"Hehe, that's good."
"Senga, you've really done me a huge favor!"
Garp was excited on the other end of the Den Den Mushi. He knew his grandson's personality; once he made up his mind about something, it was almost impossible to get him to give it up.
Sending Senga to teach Luffy a lesson was a last resort; if it worked, great, but if not, it was to be expected.
Ace's situation was even more special; Garp never intended for Senga to educate him, and he didn't Ace at all in the first place.
But Garp never expected that Senga would actually persuade Ace; it was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise.
But if he knew that Ace had given up being a pirate and joined the Revolutionary Army, I wonder what he would think. Would he give Ace an Armament Haki slipper mark on his face?
After hanging up the phone, Senga called Ain and Kalifa and gave them an order.
"Notify the soldiers on duty on deck today to bring their raincoats."
Upon hearing Senga's words, Kalifa didn't ask why, and simply turned and left the office to inform her subordinates.
Ain asked curiously,
"Senga, when did you become a navigator? Is it because you're dissatisfied with the current navigator position after what happened last time? If so, I can learn. You have more important things to do."
Senga smiled, got up, and pulled Ain onto the deck.
Under Ain's questioning gaze, Senga formed several hand seals with one hand and whispered,
"Rain Tiger Justu"
As soon as Senga finished speaking, Ain noticed that the sky had suddenly darkened, and she looked up at the sky abruptly.
The once clear sky was now completely covered by dark clouds, and soon a fine drizzle began to fall.
With Senga's current Chakra reserves, the Rain Tiger Justu could cover almost the entire East Blue. Golden Lion's strength was unparalleled in the East Blue, Senga quickly located him after sensing him with his eyes closed for a while.
Ain reached out to catch the falling raindrops, recalling the time when she was seriously injured during the Weevil incident, when the sky suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy and it started to rain.
For this, his roommate Alice cursed a few times.
Thinking of this, Ain looked at Senga. Not long after the rain started, Senga appeared on the lifeboat and saved her from the brink of death. It seems that this is another of Senga's abilities. He is really reliable.
Having obtained the exact location of the Golden Lion, Senga opened his eyes, looked in one direction, and said...
"Found you, Shiki."
After saying that, Senga formed another hand seal, trying to dispel the Rain Tiger Justu.
Suddenly, Ain grasped the hand that Senga wasn't Hand Seals. Senga paused, stopped what he was doing, and turned to look at Ain with a puzzled expression.
Ain smiled and, holding Senga's hand, said...
"I like rain. Could you please not let this rain stop, Senga?"
Ain's voice was extremely gentle, which startled Senga. He felt that there was something wrong with the way Ain was looking at him. Was there something wrong with the rain he had brought?
However, since Ain likes it, let the rain continue. Just give the soldiers who have been on guard duty these past few days some extra money. Anyway, I just got a lot of treasure from that island.
When Ain saw that Senga had actually granted her somewhat willful request, she was even more moved and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and kiss Senga on the cheek.
After doing this, Ain felt a little shy. Before Senga could say anything, she turned around and ran to the other side of the deck to enjoy the rain view.
Senga remained where she was, touched the spot on her face where Ain had "attacked" her earlier, still not understanding what had happened. After thinking about it, she could only sigh and say, "Women are truly complex creatures!"
Above a stretch of sea in the East Blue, an island is hidden in dark clouds.
"Damn it, it was sunny just a moment ago, how did it suddenly start raining?"
Golden Lion Shiki looked at the pattering raindrops outside the window, took a swig of wine, and said with a disgruntled expression.
The henchman chimed in,
"Yes, Captain, the weather at sea is always so unpredictable!"
Upon hearing the henchman's words, the Golden Lion's expression suddenly turned cold. The wine in his cup floated into the air and transformed into the shape of a small lion's head, which faced the henchman who had just spoken.
What happened to the weather at sea just now?
"Changeable... unpredictable?"
Pfft! The henchman's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked down at his chest, where a fist-sized hole had appeared, through which he could see the scene behind him.
Spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, the henchman collapsed backward to the ground, terrifying the surrounding pirates who trembled in fear.
"Hmph! Do you even need to tell me that?"
Golden Lion stared indifferently at the corpses of the underlings on the ground, but his mind was filled with the battle with the Roger Pirates more than twenty years ago.
Just when victory was within reach, a sudden storm changed the course of the battle, resulting in the loss of most of his Flying Pirates and the permanent attachment of a ship's rudder to his head, thus limiting his strength.
Damn rain, damn weather, looks like I need to find a reliable navigator.
