A new system quest!!!
Bite!
This was a long-awaited system notification sound; to be honest, without it, Haku would have practically forgotten the system existed.
Haku calmly opened the system panel after sitting down on a deckchair.

Haku thought to herself that the system panel hadn't changed much.
His gaze then fell on the Quest Menu, where a new task had been issued after a long period of inactivity.
To kill Golden Lion Shiki and steal the power of the Float-Float Fruit? That's really in line with the system's style!
Aokiji sat down next to Haku and casually asked, "Do you have any leads on how to find the Golden Lion?"
"I don't think you can stay in the East Blue and watch forever, right?"
At that moment, Aokiji spoke up, interrupting Haku's thoughts!
Haku smiled; he would never admit that he was using Luffy and his crew as bait, waiting for Golden Lion to come to him!
If I remember correctly, not long after Luffy and his crew dealt with Thriller Bark, Nami was kidnapped by Golden Lion because of her exceptional navigation skills and ability to sense the weather!
There's still quite a bit of time left, after Haku pilots the Ark to the G5 Base.
He then abandoned Ryujin Jakka, Muramasa, Hyōrinmaru, and all the other miscellaneous people on the ship.
He knew that if he were to engage the Golden Lion in the air, he would be unable to care for his men.
It would be better to act alone and leave these burdens to be cared for by one's own teacher.
Haku held the latest intelligence from the G5 Base system in her hand, which clearly stated that Luffy had disappeared from Gaya Island Devil Town!
A smile crept across Haku's face. He knew that Luffy and the others must have used the Upward Sea Current Straw Hat Pirates to successfully reach the Sky Island.
Looking at Haku's smile, Aokiji couldn't help but sigh softly, "Sometimes your smile is really hard to decipher."
Haku shrugged, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Sometimes, life just needs a bit of mystery and the unknown, doesn't it?"
"That's true." Aokiji nodded, his gaze returning to the distant horizon. "So, when do you plan to depart?"
Haku stood up and stretched. "Now that the task is clear, the sooner the better. I don't want to waste time here."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the cabin, preparing to begin his new journey. Aokiji watched his receding figure, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
He knew Haku wasn't the type to stay put, so he was curious to see how far the friction between Haku and the Golden Lion would go.
After all, Golden Lion and Pirate King Roger were strong figures from the same era!
Meanwhile, in Devil Town!
Blackbeard Teach burst out laughing when he saw Luffy's Bounty Poster!
"Hahaha, these marines are really useless! That Pirates kid with the Straw Hat only has a bounty of thirty million!"
Blackbeard was eating a fruit pie, but his eyes were constantly scanning Luffy's bounty list!
Although, due to Haku's influence, Luffy's bounty has remained at only 30 million Belly so far.
However, an incident occurred at the bar in Mock Town No-Resistance Incident!
This piqued Blackbeard's interest in Luffy, which sparked his desire to recruit Luffy into his ranks!
Blackbeard Teach's eyes gleamed with cunning and greed. The fruit pie in his hand seemed to have lost its flavor, and he casually tossed it aside. He stood up and began pacing unconsciously, pondering how to capture this Pirates named Luffy.
"Hahaha, this little brat is really interesting," Blackbeard muttered to himself. "Looks like I'll have to go and meet this Straw Hat Kid myself."
He walked to the window, gazing at the distant the Sea, his eyes gleaming with ambition and desire. He knew he had to seize this opportunity to bring Luffy under his wing.
Unfortunately, no matter what he planned, it was too late; by the time he caught up with them again at sea...
Luffy is already aboard the modified Going Merry, using the Upward Sea Current to fly towards Sky Island!
"What a pity, Captain! I never expected these people to be so bold as to use the Upward Sea Current to fly into the air!" Lafitte said with a smile to Teach.
"What a pity. I wonder if these people will be able to leave with their bodies intact. You know, over the years, those who have tried to find the legendary Sky Island have all come and gone without a trace," Doc Q said listlessly.
The sarcasm is quite obvious!
Blackbeard Teach laughed instead, "Zehahaha! Doc Q, you always like to say discouraging things. But this matter is indeed a bit tricky. That Straw Hat Kid actually dared to use the Upward Sea Current to fly to the Sky Island; that's not a decision that just anyone could make."
"I think this kid might actually be able to fly to the Sky Island!"
"Oh? From what the captain is saying, you also believe in the existence of the Sky Island, right?" Lafitte said with a smile.
"Hahaha! I don't just believe it, Sky Island really does exist!" Blackbeard said with certainty.
Lafitte narrowed his eyes slightly, because he had just seen a look of firm belief and expectation in Blackbeard's eyes!
Blackbeard Teach laughed again, his laughter filled with ambition and desire!
He said, "What a pity, let's go back to Devil's Town now!"
While Luffy and Blackbeard were passing each other, Haku and Aokiji also set foot on the Grand Line.
After traveling for some time, Haku casually placed Aokiji on an island.
Haku piloted the Ark, flying towards a certain direction on the Grand Line.
Of course, those who didn't know the truth might have thought Haku was going to do something on the Grand Line?
