Chapter 4995

Sakuragi Hanada: "Wait a moment... add the Bloodline Upgrade Card to the Bloodline. If these two are combined, doesn't that mean Yuan Ying will soon possess a bloodline rank surpassing Jiang Chen?"

Sakuragi Hanada realized something, and his expression changed drastically.

Wudao Dong Xiang: "Jiang Chen is crying!"

Kayaba Akihiko: "Jiang Chen: This guild is completely unreasonable! Fine, copying my bloodline ability is one thing—but even the copy is stronger than my original!"

Tu Shan Hong Hong: "Hong A: Isn't it only natural that the copy is stronger than the original?"

Monster Friend: "Young Lady Mikanshin expressed extreme frustration."

Jiang Chen: "..."

Jiang Chen: "I feel like you've all misunderstood something... you don't seriously think my bloodline rank is still at the level of just joining the guild, do you?"

Jiang Chen was both amused and exasperated.

Ze Tian Gang Ji: "..."

Tsuchiyama Juuro: "I've always thought your strength might have improved. But I assumed your bloodline rank remained the same."

Lin Jiu: "You're mistaken. As a zombie, Jiang Chen's strength derives largely from his own bloodline! So when his strength increases, his bloodline naturally rises with it."

L: "Wait, aren't I remembering correctly? Didn't Jiang Chen once obtain a Pangu Bloodline Card?"

Dr. Roman: "I remember that too... since none of you mentioned it, I almost thought I'd imagined it."

Ernest: "True."

Ye Hei: "So, who's next for the draw?"

Tsuchima Ume: "What's the rush? Let me first use my points to boost my own strength."

Nyaa: "By the way, I'm curious—if Haki can mimic the abilities of Devil Fruits, then, Tsuchima Ume, besides the Haki-derived ability resembling the Shake-Shake Fruit, do you also have Haki-derived abilities mimicking other Devil Fruits?"

Nyaa's eyes sparkled.

Tsuchima Ume: "I've also developed Ichi-no-Tachi."

Medusa Queen: "????"

Luo Feng: "... Ichi-no-Tachi? That's from Naruto, right? Oh, right—Naruto and One Piece worlds have merged, nmsl. (Never mind then.)"

Faceless Man Luo Ji: "Whoa! But isn't Ichi-no-Tachi a lightning-based power? I can understand you mimicking the Eight Gates, but lightning...?"

Tsuchima Ume: "Didn't I already say this inside the guild? My Haki has evolved to the point where it can mimic the elementization of the Lightning-Lightning Fruit!"

Tsuchima Ume spoke with complete confidence.

Liu Peiqiang: "Puh. (A mouthful of old blood sprayed out. jpg)"

Suzumiya Haruhi: "Sorry, you never said that before."

Suzumiya Haruhi spoke with utter sincerity.

You Suowei: "WTF? There's even this kind of trick?!"

Eri: "Awesome awesome! I accept that Haki can mimic physical Super Devil Fruits. But how the hell do you mimic elementization? Are you even pretending to follow science anymore?"

Bai Hu Zi: "Gurara la la, it's precisely because of science that Haki has reached this point."

Eri: "?"

Bai Hu Zi: "Mr. Stark should know this well... he previously studied the origin of Haki in our world! He eventually discovered that a body trained in Haki produces a special factor."

Bai Hu Zi: "This factor strengthens the body. And consuming a Devil Fruit also generates this same factor inside the body."

Bai Hu Zi: "Though the two factors differ slightly in nature, they are fundamentally identical! Therefore, when Haki is cultivated to the peak of Great Perfection, it reaches the micro-level of Haki. Once you can adjust the root of Haki at this micro-level, mastering other Devil Fruit abilities naturally follows!"

Sakata Ginchiyo: "..."

Hatsune Miku: "At this point, besides saying science is amazing, what else can I say?"

Ryūgū Rina: "Enough talk—I'm going to cultivate Haki right now. Goodbye, everyone."

Dr. Roman: "... I recall last time, you suddenly interrupted me during a guild chat saying you wanted to learn magic."

Dr. Roman: "I'd already quietly gathered magic materials, but after waiting for you half a day, you never came to pick them up."

Ryūgū Rina: "!!!!!!"

Ernest: "Sick."

Minami Kotori: "Mr. Roman, I was just joking, why are you so serious? You're making it so hard for me to back out! (Manually awkward. jpg)"
