Chapter 70

⒈

Eat the Mera Mera no Mi.

0

Then you can destroy a warship with a single punch.

⒐

Eat the Hie Hie no Mi, and you can freeze the sea.

7

This kind of power is practically on par with that of an immortal.

8

It's simply too outrageous.

②

Enjoyed a delicious meal.

Ling

Yae Miko was in a good mood, humming a little tune as she went out for a walk.

Long

Her time outside was limited.

At most five days, then she had to return to the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Therefore, she must make the most of these few short days and have as much fun as possible.

Two days later, in the morning.

Keeping to their agreement.

Yae Miko returned once more to the洞天.

But the scene before her made her jaw drop.

There was Keqing sparring against a wooden post.

Which竟然 had sprouted a pair of arms and a pair of eyes.

And also held a sword in its hands.

The two continuously exchanged blows, sword qi exploding in midair, creating a fierce sensation as if fighting a real enemy.

"This... This... This isn't the Hana Hana no Mi!!!"

Yae Miko felt her worldview being shattered.

Originally, she had thought

Su Han's stories were nothing but fiction.

But this scene before her eyes

made her realize Devil Fruits truly existed.

Just then, a distant heatwave caught her attention.

"Sun Breathing · Solar Halo Dragon..."

"Too slow, Kaedehara Kazuha!"

A lightning dragon and a fire dragon crashed rapidly together, quickly dissipating.

Wait.

Sun Breathing?

Isn't that from the Demon Slayer world?

Then, Yae Miko confirmed her suspicion.

Su Han and Kaedehara Kazuha

were using breathing techniques to spar intensely!

And simultaneously, they were applying the power of Haoshoku.

The ferocity of their battle—if one didn't know they were master and servant—one would assume it was a life-or-death fight.

In the end, Su Han gained the upper hand thanks to his superior Kenbunshoku Haki.

He stopped the fight.

Kazuha lay on the ground, panting: ".¨ My Kenbunshoku Haki still falls short..."

Though in raw strength he was stronger,

Kenbunshoku was just too practical in combat.

Every one of his moves was seen through by the opponent.

Leaving him at a disadvantage.

Su Han nodded and said, "Just practice more. You did pretty well during the mission."

As the two were conversing,

Su Han noticed Yae Miko's arrival.

So he walked over and asked, "Here to discuss the novel? Let's go somewhere else..."

"Alright."

Five minutes later.

They arrived in a quiet room.

On the table sat two cups of fragrant tea.

Yae Miko got straight to the point: "The Black Blade Corps being discussed in the city—could it be they've cultivated Haoshoku?"

"Yes, you guessed correctly. Just now, I was sparring with Kaedehara Kazuha using Sun Breathing..."

Su Han admitted it directly.

The other party had signed a contract.

Naturally, there was nothing to hide.

But he didn't know how shocking this information was to Yae Miko.

After a long silence, the sly fox cautiously asked, "Can Armament Haki really resist elemental power?"

"You can try it..."

Before Su Han finished speaking,

a thunderclap rang out in the room.

Boom.

A fox made of lightning shot toward his face.

Su Han calmly extended his hand.

Effortlessly breaking through Yae Miko's technique.

Though it was only a test,

it proved the terrifying power of Haki.

"Hiss... just what else don't I know about you?"

Yae Miko looked at the man before her with unprecedented eyes.

She realized she might have uncovered Liyue's core secret.

Why the Geo Archon,

would value this man so highly, even granting him a status surpassing that of the Liyue Qixing.

It was probably not merely because of his abilities.

But because of something unimaginable to the world,

something beyond imagination.

Looking at the silent sly fox, Su Han smiled: "Actually, my ability is very simple—nothing as frightening as you imagine.

The reason I made you sign the contract

was simply because I feared you'd go around blabbing about dragons.

Now we're allies, and partners... Otherwise, do you think Keqing and the others would reveal their powers before others?"

"Then what exactly is your ability? Can you tell me now?"

"It's actually very simple—my ability has only one..."

After hearing Su Han's explanation.

Yae Miko showed a bitter smile.

She felt that not only had she sold out Ei, but she had even gotten herself involved.

Heaven knows how in this world.

There could be such a terrifying man.

"So from the very beginning, you've been scheming against me, haven't you..."

Yae Miko glared at him fiercely.

Nothing about leaving Liyue.

This guy clearly intended to swallow Inazuma whole.

Su Han spread his hands innocently and said, "You were the one seeking help, and besides... what's wrong with joining my side? Don't you want to resurrect your fallen comrade?"

"What did you say? Resurrect... do you mean we could bring back 【Zhen】..."

"The treasures across all worlds are countless. Right now, she still has a faint spark remaining. If we can find a resurrection artifact before that spark vanishes completely,"

"the previous Electro Archon could be revived..."

⑧

Su Han wasn't boasting.

5

He genuinely wanted to revive Raiden Ei.

⑥

However, the process would be extremely long.

⒈

Hurrying wouldn't help.

0

Yae Miko looked at Su Han and said, "If you can truly bring Zhen back to life, I'll marry you even without defeating Ying. I'm serious."

⒐

I'm serious."

7

She wanted Su Han to defeat Ying.

8

It was simply because she wanted that reclusive girl to break free from her delusions.

②

If Raiden Ei could return from death,

Ling

then naturally there'd be no need for such trouble.

Long

Su Han shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Success in the诸天 tasks depends on luck, and items in the商城 also depend on luck... All I can say is I'll do my best."

"I can only try my hardest."

"You must understand, right now in Liyue, many people await salvation..."

If the Dragon King.

Guoba.

These two beings must be saved.

Once restored, Liyue's combat strength would surely skyrocket.

But here's the problem—what could possibly restore them?

That's also an issue.

Yae Miko let out a deep sigh. Knowing revival was possible yet having to wait helplessly...

The feeling was truly unbearable.

Su Han comforted her, "Don't worry. Once the chat group upgrades shortly, I'll add you in. Then naturally, you'll see what item can resurrect the former Electro Archon."

"Hmm, I suppose that's all we can do."

Yae Miko nodded and recomposed herself.

Time passed second by second.

Soon, it reached eleven o'clock.

The诸天 task has been released!

Only this time, the task

was completely different.

And the difficulty had increased dramatically.

Inside the诸天 Task Group,

[Ding... Detected that group experience is nearly full. Advancement task triggered!]

[Hint]: Advancement tasks are extremely difficult. Please claim according to your own strength.

[Task]: During the Marineford War, protect Ace the Fire Fist from death and escort him safely out of Marineford.

[Difficulty]: ???

[Countdown]: One hour

[Note]: If Ace the Fire Fist dies, the task is considered failed. The advancement task will reappear after three tasks, and the task's experience will accumulate into the storage bar.

Qiong Ba⑨ Five⒍ Liu⒍④⒍ Four

[Special]: This task allows teaming up, maximum five members.

Ningguang: "This is actually a team task!!!"

Ganyu: "Ace the Fire Fist! Su Han, isn't he the one who ate the Mera Mera no Mi... I remember it's him, right?"

Keqing: "Marineford War? Is this about to kick off a full-scale war? Beidou's taking her ship, so she should be fine—System said five people."

Beidou's ship should count as her own personal item.

They had prior experience with naval combat missions.

Naturally, the group members knew how to exploit loopholes.

Kaedehara Kazuha: "Why doesn't the posted mission have a star rating?"

Beidou: "Maybe promotion missions don't display levels. What do you think, Su Han?"

Su Han: "This mission is way too difficult. I feel like even if you team up, you still can't win!"

Admittedly, everyone had mastered Haki.

But what was the Marineford War lineup?

The Three Admirals.

Iron Fist Garp.

[72] Plus one hundred thousand Marines—even with a five-person team, what could they possibly do?

Beidou's ship should count as our own equipment."

If the goal were merely to keep Ace alive,

Then there might be ways.

But the mission description also requires extracting Ace from Marineford.

That demand is just excessive!!!

Hu Tao: "Why say we can't win? Beidou just upgraded her ship, loaded it with all those cannons, and now add in several experts like us.

There's definitely no problem.

Su Han, don't underestimate us..."

Sucrose: "If things get really tough, I can prepare another batch of bombs... As long as coordination is good, it should work out."

Keqing: "Right! And I've also obtained the Hana Hana Fruit—I can use it proficiently now..."

Ningguang: "Su Han, is the mission really that difficult? I've never seen you this tense before."
