Chapter 12

Su Xiao Xiao: "I already anticipated you'd react this way... How could a parent ever doubt their own child before the child truly betrays them? If you truly doubted, you wouldn't be Bai Hu Zi."

Lai Zuo Wo De Erzi Ba: "..."

Bai Hu Zi didn't know what to say.

"Ding! Su Xiao Xiao uploaded a large memory copy."

Su Xiao Xiao: "The cause and outcome of the whole affair are mostly in this copy! But @Lai Zuo Wo De Erzi Ba, you aren't the protagonist of this memory copy. You'll have to wait until later to see yourself. If you want to understand what I'm talking about, I suggest you start from the Battle of Marineford."

"Ding! The memory copy has been received by Lai Zuo Wo De Erzi Ba."

Bai Hu Zi received Su Han's memory copy immediately. He certainly trusted his son wouldn't harm him—but trusting his son was one thing; after Su Han provided evidence, clinging stubbornly to doubt was another.

He doted on his child, but that didn't mean his doting had no limits.

In the original story, he could allow his own son to harm him, but never allow his sons to harm each other. He even told Blackie during the Battle of Marineford: "You are the only one I can never forgive."

Su Han quickly noticed that, besides Bai Hu Zi accepting the memory copy immediately, the other four people also received it at lightning speed.

Turning his gaze away from the guild chat room and patting his stomach, Su Han realized it was already afternoon—he was very hungry.

Once one formally enters the realm of spiritual energy cultivation, even the lowest-grade spiritual energy user can go three days and nights without food or drink.

And even without eating or drinking, their physical condition remains at peak, causing no harm to the body.

But Su Han, with no cultivation base, could only envy it in thought.

To avoid dying young, he'd better stick to his three meals a day.

After eating, Su Han returned to the chat room and found Bai Hu Zi had already replied.

Lai Zuo Wo De Erzi Ba: "I sped through the Battle of Marineford... I mostly understand what happened now. I never expected something like this would occur, Tichi..."

Su Han fell silent. Betrayed by his own son. Killed by his own son.

Even the reason his son betrayed him—to become the new Four Emperors—was enough to justify destroying the Whitebeard Pirates, slaughtering the so-called brothers and sisters who had once been close to Blackie.

The information was too vast, too shocking.

Bai Hu Zi couldn't bear it for a moment.

Lai Zuo Wo De Erzi Ba: "But I only watched the Battle of Marineford—I still don't fully understand Tichi's betrayal. I need to learn more."

"Ding! Lai Zuo Wo De Erzi Ba sent you a private red packet."

Lai Zuo Wo De Erzi Ba: "No words can repay your great kindness. This is my experience in the Three Colors of Haki! I don't have anything valuable right now, but when I find a Logia Devil Fruit next time, I'll send you one."

Su Han's eyes lit up instantly. He had never asked Bai Hu Zi for anything or made any direct request, because he understood Bai Hu Zi's nature.

He knew Bai Hu Zi was a man who hated owing others.

Bai Hu Zi's actions now confirmed Su Han's earlier thoughts.

He didn't just send the Three Colors of Haki—he outright promised him a Logia Devil Fruit in the future. This was truly too generous.

Su Han accepted the red packet without hesitation.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully obtained Armament Haki (Bai Hu Zi version), Observation Haki (Bai Hu Zi version), and Conqueror's Haki (Bai Hu Zi version)."

Su Han's expression flickered slightly, then turned thoughtful.

Without hesitation, he fused the Three Colors of Haki. These Three Colors were merely Bai Hu Zi's insights and experiences—they didn't mean you could instantly manifest Bai Hu Zi's power by fusing them.

Or rather, if you wanted to manifest Bai Hu Zi's Armament, Observation, or Conqueror's Haki, you could just spend points to pay for it.

But no one needed to think twice—getting Haki to Bai Hu Zi's level would require an astronomical sum.

Closing his eyes, Su Han carefully sensed it. After a long while, he exhaled.

"Just as I imagined... Bai Hu Zi's Haki is terrifyingly strong."

Before his transmigration, Su Han had often seen debates over whether Whitebeard in One Piece truly possessed Haki.

After all, during the Battle of Marineford, Whitebeard's displayed power seemed inconsistent with his title as the world's strongest.

But now, having received Bai Hu Zi's Three Colors of Haki, Su Han was certain: Bai Hu Zi's Haki could truly be called unmatched under heaven.

Bai Hu Zi's strength was not merely his Gura Gura no Mi.

Or rather, the Gura Gura no Mi merely granted him the power to destroy the world—but even without it, even if he were no longer the man capable of destroying the world, he still deserved his title as one of the Four Emperors.
