Chapter 1482

Ti Qie Hui Li: "How come I never noticed before? Miss Xia Shizi is actually a fan of Master Yamamoto..."

Miss Xia Shizi: "I'm not exactly a fan of Master Yamamoto Genryusai! I just suddenly felt—such a supreme Shinigami dying so carelessly... it's truly unworthy."

"It gives me a toothache!"

Mengqi Lage: "Then what kind of death would count as not careless?"

Mengqi Lage: "Could it be something like Master Bai Hu dying in a glorious, thunderous battle at Marineford—sacrificing himself to save his son—and at the very brink of death, shouting that the One Piece is real, reigniting the pirate era to its peak?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "So... the Marines really are tragic! They're supposed to be the organization maintaining oceanic peace, yet they got scammed into oblivion."

"And their reputation isn't even good!"

Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Black Cat Clan: "This era! Belongs to Bai Hu!"

Tu Jian Mai: "Yes! This era is named Bai Hu!"

Master Bai Hu: "Gurara! This era isn't named Bai Hu—it's named Dora!"

Mengqi Lage: "No... Master Bai Hu is too generous... Without your help, I could never have overthrown the World Government!"

Wudao Dong Xiang: "After thinking it over... the Marines' greatest black mark is undoubtedly the Celestial Dragons."

An Zi Wu Gong: "But! Dora overthrew the World Government, yet due to existing ties with the Marines, the Marines remain... the Marines. This should count as a great blessing amid misfortune."

Su Xiao Xiao: "...... So! Who exactly are you discussing now? Shinigami and One Piece?"

Gazing at the guild chat, Su Han's lips twitched slightly.

You're still chatting? Are you planning to chat for three hours first, then think about whether to join this mission? If you don't get ready, I'm going alone.

Master Bai Hu: "I'm here now."

Lan Zhen: "I've been ready all along."

Qi Mu Nanxiong: "I'm ready too!"

Su Han read the guild members' messages, exhaled slowly, and nodded slightly.

Then he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique—shuā! —appearing in the dense forest outside the castle, closed his eyes, and tapped to activate the mission.

The next instant, a brilliant radiance erupted suddenly beside Su Han.

Bai Hu Gao Ang: A seven-meter-tall figure appeared abruptly, gripping a naginata, his battle aura soaring.

His white beard curved like a crescent moon, golden hair hung loosely, muscles bulged; though scarred, he radiated youthful vigor.

Lan Zhen wore the robe of the Fifth Division Captain, a gentle smile on his lips, hair styled as if gelled, spine straight, exuding an indescribable aura.

Like a sword just drawn from its sheath—sharpness fully exposed.

As for Qi Mu Nanxiong... well, he held a coffee jelly in one hand and a spoon in the other.

He scanned the entire group expressionlessly, saw he had appeared beside Su Han, and wasn't surprised.

Qi Mu Nanxiong nodded to Su Han, then turned to look at Bai Hu and Lan Zhen, and nodded again.

"It's been a long time since I joined a mission! This old body needs a good workout!"

Master Bai Hu's laughter shook the ground as he gripped his naginata.

"Old man? You're not old—you're getting younger by the day!"

A voice tinged with annoyance descended from the sky; Wugeng Liuli landed with Ophis in her arms, glaring at Master Bai Hu—clearly furious he called her old.

"What a strict daughter!"

Master Bai Hu smiled but fell silent, no longer mentioning his age.

Though strong-willed, having fought on battlefields his whole life, never retreating before even the strongest foes,

this toughness would soften before his own children.

Not from fear—but from his deep love for them.

......................"Is this the Infinite Dragon God?"

Qi Mu Nanxiong studied Ophis, thoughtful.

"From the outside, she shows no sign of anything unusual! Except... her exquisite appearance... she looks just like an ordinary girl! But if you sense her magical energy... you feel an endless, boundless surge of power."

"Remarkable!"

Lan Zhen did not withhold his praise.

Ophis said nothing, only gave them both a slightly vacant, innocent look.

"Now! We should depart."

Su Han's words trailed off as he slightly raised his brow, gazing toward the distant massive castle.

Lan Zhen and Master Bai Hu also froze, following Su Han's gaze to the castle.

Though Su Han's castle was lavish and splendid, both Master Bai Hu and Lan Zhen had seen the world—no one would be startled by a castle.

What they noticed was the twin girls stepping out from within.

"Master! If you intend to fight north of Kyoto, please take me with you!"

Ram lifted her skirt, bowed to Su Han, her voice soft yet resolute.

"...... You knew?"

Su Han's voice held no emotion.

"Master, don't forget—I'm your maid."

"So Jarvis naturally told me that news."

Ram smiled gently.
