Chapter 202: The New Marine Admiral: Qin Muyin!

Qin Muyin's performance was seen by everyone with their own eyes.

It was at this moment that they realized just how powerful this woman truly was. The high-ranking officers of the Marine Headquarters all turned their astonished gazes to Qin Muyin, who hovered in mid-air.

But what shocked them even more was Bald Chen Ye. That punch, which shattered the falling meteorite, sent chills down even their spines.

"Newcomers these days are truly terrifying!" This exclamation came from Kizaru. Akainu's sharp gaze fixed on Chen Ye, his stern face betraying a hint of surprise.

The old blind man's summoning of that meteorite was already earth-shattering, and even Akainu's signature technique, Great Eruption, might not have been able to fend it off. Yet this bald newcomer possessed such an overwhelming power.

"Garp!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku suddenly asked, "Is this bald brat your new disciple?"

Garp immediately denied it. "I don't have the qualifications to be his teacher. All I did was plant the seed of Armament Haki in him."

"Even so, that's still a form of guidance," Sengoku said bluntly. "You could just officially take him on as your disciple!"

Having known each other for decades, Garp instantly understood his old friend's intention. Sengoku wanted to solidify the teacher-student bond between Garp and Chen Ye to ensure the bald man was firmly tied to the Marines' cause.

Garp, however, was not thick-skinned enough to agree so readily and awkwardly replied, "I doubt he's interested in becoming anyone's disciple..."

Before Garp could finish, Sengoku sighed, "Garp, if such a powerful individual accidentally became a pirate, it would spell disaster for the entire Marine force!"

Garp: "..."

At that moment, he finally understood why Sengoku was the Fleet Admiral.

When Chen Ye returned to the original arena, the old blind man was nowhere to be seen. Apparently, the latter had the good sense to concede defeat voluntarily.

Thus, Chen Ye was declared the victor. However, due to the severe damage to the arena, which had turned into a massive pit, it could no longer be used.

The location had to be changed. Aramaki, the "Green Bull," took the initiative to step into the arena. He casually picked an opponent and secured an easy victory.

The other matches also concluded quickly. With that, the first round came to an end.

The second round commenced immediately. This time, Qin Muyin was the first to step forward.

She chose Aramaki as her opponent. True to his title as the future Green Bull Admiral, Aramaki made an intimidating entrance onto the arena.

As soon as he stepped up, he transformed into a massive tree giant over 20 meters tall, cutting a terrifying figure. The Marine soldiers watching from the sidelines exclaimed in amazement.

Only the seasoned experts or those who had seen the world remained unfazed, as they were accustomed to the existence of giants in the pirate world.

Aramaki made the first move. His fingers instantly transformed into several branches, reaching toward Qin Muyin to ensnare her.

Of course, Qin Muyin wasn't foolish enough to stand still. She immediately flew into the air, effortlessly evading Aramaki's attack.

The next moment, the massive tree giant that Aramaki had become opened its mouth, spitting out a barrage of seeds like countless bullets aimed at Qin Muyin.

However, such an attack wasn't even enough to shake Qin Muyin's psychic shield. After blocking Aramaki's assault, Qin Muyin retaliated.

Her first move was earth-shattering.

"Buzz!" The entire arena trembled violently.

Aramaki immediately felt an overwhelmingly powerful and formless force grip him, lifting him upward. Not daring to waste a second, he transformed his legs into roots, desperately burrowing into the arena, seemingly attempting to anchor himself to the ground.

But he underestimated Qin Muyin's psychic power.

"Rumble—" The ground quaked, and the entire plaza shook.

Countless onlookers gasped in shock. In the next instant, the arena split open, rocks and dirt upheaving.

The giant tree form of Aramaki was forcibly uprooted by Qin Muyin's psychic power and lifted into the air. With Aramaki airborne, the arena was completely reduced to rubble.

At this point, the outcome of the match was clear. If Qin Muyin wished, she could have easily thrown Aramaki into the sea—or even killed him outright.

When Qin Muyin makes a move, it's nothing short of earth-shattering.

Everyone was left speechless in shock.

Only Chen Ye wore a smile.

In Chen Ye's eyes, Qin Muyin's position as an admiral was already secured.

On the viewing platform, Kizaru and Akainu both looked at Qin Muyin with serious expressions.

Both of them were Logia-type Devil Fruit users. To them, although Bald Chen Ye's punches were powerful, their advanced Observation Haki and elemental transformation abilities made them confident they could evade his attacks with ease.

What troubled them more was Qin Muyin's ability.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku suddenly asked, "Garp, I remember this newcomer, Qin Muyin, is associated with that bald brat, right?"

Garp replied honestly, "Seems like it. According to that young squirrel, the two appeared together and are quite close, at least as companions."

Sengoku responded, "Then you have even more reason to take the bald brat as your disciple!"

Garp looked utterly speechless.

As if taking on a top-tier powerhouse as a disciple was an easy task.

He couldn't even be bothered to respond to Sengoku.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today was a day of celebration for the Marine Headquarters.

The inauguration ceremony for the new admiral was scheduled to take place today.

The entire Marine Headquarters was adorned with decorations, bustling with festivities.

When it came to Qin Muyin becoming the new admiral, there were hardly any objections among the marines.

Three days ago, during the competition, Qin Muyin had proven her strength, showing everyone that she was fully deserving of the admiral position.

While some believed Bald Chen Ye was stronger, his decision to concede at the last moment signaled his withdrawal from the race for the admiral post.

Qin Muyin's appointment as the new admiral was well-deserved.

Initially, there were differing opinions among the Marine high command. Some felt Qin Muyin was too young and might act impulsively, whereas the older Fujitora's age seemed more suitable.

It was Chen Ye who publicly voiced his full support for Qin Muyin becoming an admiral.

Instantly, Qin Muyin's appointment received unanimous approval.

No one dared to offend two top-tier powerhouses simultaneously!

Moreover, Qin Muyin's victory had been witnessed by all, which was crucial.

Even without Chen Ye's support, the Marine high command wouldn't have dared to manipulate the outcome.

If they had, even Fujitora himself might not have agreed.

Some even suggested creating more admiral positions, but such a proposal was impossible to approve.

Raising an admiral was incredibly costly.

Not only did it require funds, but a fleet had to be assembled for them, creating a host of logistical challenges.

After all, an admiral, as the face of the Marine Headquarters, couldn't be expected to travel alone. That would be far too undignified.

With the Marine Headquarters' limited annual budget, they could only afford three admirals, which had been the case for decades.

If anyone proposed adding more admiral positions, the World Government would reject it outright.

At today's ceremony, in addition to Qin Muyin's promotion to admiral, three new vice admirals were also inaugurated.

The new vice admirals were Bald Chen Ye, Fujitora, and Sunglasses Aramaki.

According to Marine tradition, each high-ranking officer must adopt an animal as their code name.

For example, Sakazuki was "Akainu" (Red Dog), and Borsalino was "Kizaru" (Yellow Monkey). However, since it was an informal rule, it wasn't mandatory. Some, like the old Garp, didn't have a code name—or you could say "Iron Fist" was his code name.

Qin Muyin chose "Blue Eagle" as her code name.

This was because her late father loved eagles, so she decided to honor him by adopting "Eagle" as part of her name.

From now on, she would be known as Admiral Blue Eagle.

Well, the name sounded rather unpleasant.

However, an even worse code name had to be Chen Ye's.

Since Chen Ye was too lazy to come up with one, he directly chose "Honey Badger" as his code name.

Honey Badgers, also known as flat-headed brothers, were known for their fearless approach to enemies.

To Chen Ye, the Honey Badger's attitude of "fear nothing, fight anyone" resonated deeply.

Even when faced with a lion, a Honey Badger would fearlessly attack. Such courage was admirable.

From now on, he would be known as Vice Admiral Honey Badger.

Moreover, he proactively applied to become Qin Muyin's deputy.

As for Fujitora and Aramaki, they retained their original names, "Fujitora" (Wisteria Tiger) and "Green Bull," respectively.
