The First Bloodline Limit

"However, old man, there's still one thing you haven't agreed to." Leiyin said.

Garp took off his dog-head mask. "What is it?"

"You still haven't given me my thirteen million." Leiyin spoke seriously.

Garp's head grew larger and his teeth sharpened as he roared at Leiyin, "Hey! You're a Navy soldier now, so why are you still going on about money?!"

Leiyin said righteously, "Old man, remember this: when I defeated Krieg, I was still a pirate hunter, not a Navy soldier. Therefore, the Navy should rightfully pay me this money."

Leiyin's words made perfect sense, leaving Garp speechless.

"All right, all right. There's really no getting around you."

"Then I'll thank you in advance, old man."

Although Leiyin had lost, he had won Garp's great favor, making everyone feel that he had not lost in the slightest. After all, on this vast ocean, how many people could stand against [Iron Fist] Garp?

I have to become stronger. Leiyin secretly made up his mind.

Now that Leiyin had become a Navy soldier, Joseph and Johnny no longer had any reason to continue following him.

The next day, Leiyin gave his ship to the two of them. They were both deeply grateful. Standing on the deck, one on the left and one on the right, they still looked perfectly symmetrical. Both had curved blades hanging from their waists and were propping their chins up with their fists.

Joseph said, "Big brother, thank you for taking care of us all this time."

Johnny said, "Big brother, neither of us has ever admired anyone before. You're the first."

Joseph said, "The next time we meet, we hope we'll have become as strong as you, big brother."

Leiyin smiled at them. "Mm. When we meet again, I might already have become the Fleet Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. You two must become stronger!"

Johnny said, "We will!"

The two men covered their faces and began to sob through their tears. "Big brother, take good care of yourself. We're leaving."

Looking at the grief-stricken pair, Leiyin merely smiled. "Mm. Until we meet again. If I hear that you're in trouble, I'll definitely come to your aid."

After bidding farewell to the two men, Leiyin collected the thirteen-million-Beli bounty from Branch 153.

He activated the Naruto System again, and the system sent him an exciting message:

Your "Ninja Level" has reached Chunin (Intermediate). You may draw your first Bloodline Limit. The first draw costs 10 million Beli.

Confirm the draw now?

Leiyin clicked "Confirm" without hesitation.

Ten cards with the orange character "Ninja" written on their backs suddenly appeared before him. Leiyin chose the fifth card from the right. The card slowly turned over, and the exciting moment was about to arrive.

When the card flipped face-up, a line of tiny text suddenly appeared before his eyes:

Sharingan: A type of ocular technique and the Bloodline Limit of the Uchiha clan, descendants of Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths. It can continuously evolve.

After he finished reading, the card transformed into an orange radiance and flowed into Leiyin's body.

The system continued prompting him: Because a Bloodline Limit will rapidly increase the host's strength, the first Bloodline Limit draw costs 10 million Beli, the second costs 100 million Beli, the third costs 1 billion Beli, and so on.

The further he went, the more he would have to pay. This also meant that the host could possess more than one Bloodline Limit at the same time.

So I have the Sharingan now?

Everything felt like a dream.

Next, let's test it.

"Sharingan, activate!"

He found a mirror and looked into it. Sure enough, two tomoe were slowly turning in his eyes.

A two-tomoe Sharingan?

Even Leiyin was slightly shaken to his core.

Looking at the two tomoe rotating in his eyes in the mirror, he seemed to see his bright future already.

Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Kamui, and even Susanoo!

However...

Since he had only just obtained the Sharingan, he had probably not yet adapted to it. He could feel the chakra in his body rapidly draining away, so he temporarily withdrew its power, and his eyes returned to normal.

Things were not over yet.

After obtaining the Sharingan, he still had three million Beli on him. Adding the more than 1.8 million left over from before, he now had a total of over 4.8 million Beli.

Then he activated the Ninjutsu System again and chose to draw two C-rank ninjutsu.

The results were as follows:

Lion Dance (C-rank): A type of Martial Arts. First kick the enemy into the air, then deliver a heavy blow.

Wind Style - Great Breakthrough (C-rank): Blows wind from the mouth to scatter enemies. It has no great offensive power by itself.

After obtaining the Sharingan and these two C-rank ninjutsu, Leiyin's personal information was updated once again.

After reading through this "resume" of his, Leiyin nodded, fairly satisfied.

Since he had already agreed to join the Navy, Leiyin now waited for Garp's arrangements.

Actually, joining the Navy was not a bad thing, especially under Garp. Leiyin could enter Marineford directly and experience the scenery of the New World.

Putting everything else aside, judging by Leiyin's strength—which overwhelmed a headquarters lieutenant colonel—even the Navy soldiers at Branch 153 who had witnessed the battle felt that, once Leiyin joined the Navy, he would at least hold an officer's rank, even if he was not a major. As a result, Garp gave him a rank no one could have expected.

Private Third Class.

Inside the office of the colonel in charge of Branch 153.

Leiyin was extremely confused. "Old man, you're not joking, are you? No matter what, I shouldn't have been given a rank like this, right?"

Garp still wore his hearty smile. "Kid, you're still too young. If I took you straight back to Navy Headquarters and gave you a high rank, it would inevitably make people dissatisfied. Besides, you're still full of sharpness right now. I want to temper you a little."

Leiyin thought for a moment. "Wait. You mean I'm not only a Private Third Class now, but I can't even go to Navy Headquarters?"

Garp smiled. "That's right. I plan to station you in Rogue Town for a while to train you. You'll definitely return to Navy Headquarters in the future."

Although Garp usually seemed careless and utterly ridiculous, his thoughts were actually extremely meticulous. Leiyin's strength was not weak, and he would certainly continue growing in the future. If Garp rashly brought him back, even if Garp said nothing, wouldn't the others ask about this stranger of unknown origins? If he defected or something else happened in the future, it would have an extremely negative impact on the Navy.

Having him stay in Rogue Town for a while would first allow Leiyin to adapt to Navy life. Then, when Garp brought him to Navy Headquarters, he would have served in the Navy and have an unimpeachable background, allowing everyone to accept him wholeheartedly.
