Energies Doing Their Own Thing
"Narcissist!" Carina said mercilessly.
Haku didn't care about what the other person said, after all, Carina was just like Nami.
They all possess a strong tendency towards greed!
From the other person's perspective, money is indeed less important than one's looks!
Baccarat ignored the two who were joking around; her eyes darted around.
Without any hesitation, she nestled into Haku's arms and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Handsome guy, please don't let me get off this dangerous ship!"
Baccarat's bright orange hair brushed against Haku's nose, and her elegant evening gown!
Plus, she has such a hot figure!
Even Haku had to say it was very nice!
Carina scoffed, clearly disdainful of Baccarat's behavior, but her expression was more of a mix of helplessness and amusement.
"Baccarat, you never miss an opportunity to use your charm." She shook her head, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes. "However, Haku isn't so easily fooled. If he were that lecherous, he would have been smitten by all the beauties on our ship long ago."
Baccarat agreed with Carina's statement.
You see, she tried every trick in the book to seduce Haku when Haku first arrived at the Golden Ship. But he refused to let her into his room!
At that time, she almost doubted her own charm.
Haku was almost caught off guard by Baccarat's sudden display of affection, but he quickly regained his composure, a playful smile playing on his lips.
"Miss Baccarat, your charm is indeed irresistible, but at this juncture, let's address the immediate problem first."
Upon hearing this, Baccarat stopped lingering in Haku's arms.
After Baccarat left her body, Haku also began to suppress her burning desire.
If they dawdle any longer, this ship might really blow up!
"Sit upright in the frosty heavens, Hyōrinmaru!"
Haku's Zanpakuto immediately changed its form!
A large amount of cold air burst forth from the Zanpakuto, almost causing Baccarat and Carina were dressed rather lightly, to catch a cold!
Haku plunged the Hyōrinmaru into the hull!
Then, he remembered the name of a pretentious move used by a former Marine Admiral like himself.
Haku, in a very flamboyant manner, exclaimed, "Ice Age!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, even more chilling energy erupted.
Centered on Haku, the Golden Ship began to freeze and spread, and the ice continued to accumulate!
The entire ship seemed frozen in time; the surging waves and gales also stopped at this moment, with only the ice layer continuously thickening, enveloping everything around it.
The frigid air not only froze the seawater, but also covered the entire surface of the Golden Ship with a layer of crystal-clear ice, shimmering with a cold and captivating light.
Baccarat and Carina stared in disbelief at what they saw!
However, the biting cold air around them made them shiver.
As if sensing something, Baccarat moved closer to Haku, and found that the temperature around her was warmer.
She practically clung to Haku!
Carina was a bit reserved, but the coldness around her made her unconsciously move closer to Haku!
Haku put away the Hyōrinmaru in her hand!
He clapped his hands casually and said, "Alright, that guy's frozen. Let's go check him out!"
Haku strode forward.
And now, the only place that can be heated is by the sun high in the sky.
On this Golden Ship, only Haku's side was relatively warm, so Baccarat and Carina immediately followed Haku's lead.
Not long after, Haku arrived at a building!
However, the self-destruct device wasn't inside the building! It was hidden deep underground!
Because the entire ship was frozen by Haku, the elevators going down were unusable!
Haku herself could only resort to the simplest and most brutal method, which was to take out her Zanpakuto and slice it down layer by layer.
On the fifth or sixth underground floor, Haku finally stood before Mr. Muramasa.
He looked at the ice sculpture in front of him with a mocking smile and said, "I thought you could run so fast? In the end, you still froze unconscious!"
Haku, too lazy to waste words, broke the ice on Mr. Muramasa in front of Baccarat and Carina.
A broken piece of Hogyoku a type of ancient Chinese jade ornament) was embedded in his forehead, and Haku's aura and image underwent a dramatic change.
Soon, Haku's eyes turned a misty blue.
He slowly raised his palm and absorbed the Devil Fruit power from Muramasa.
Haku said with a hint of regret, "This is really troublesome. If my Index Finger's Chain of Plunder, I really wouldn't have bothered extracting your Devil Fruit ability!"
In fact, as Haku's power system increased again, using the Hogyoku had already caused Haku some discomfort.
It's a kind of power that wants to merge, but can't.
But each fusion brings a wave of discomfort!
Haku knew that perfectly integrating her own power wouldn't be so easy.
It's important to understand that his various abilities each have their own specific functions, and each type of energy operates independently.
To make them obediently merge perfectly, he would need to obtain a flawless Hogyoku!
It can only be said that this incomplete Hogyoku is incapable of driving its Master to evolve.
It's important to know that Haku possesses the power of Shinigami, the Quincy she recently acquired, the power of a Hollow, Fullbring, various Devil Fruit powers, and the previously untapped Solar Magic that only Divine Axe Rita!
Haku took a deep breath, feeling the complex and immense power within her, her heart filled with both anticipation and worry.
He knew that truly mastering these forces, enabling them to coexist Harmony and maximize their effectiveness, would be no easy task. But it was precisely this challenge that fueled his drive to keep moving forward.
Just then, a scream rang out!
This is Mr. Muramasa in Haku's hand, whose Devil Fruit power is being extracted.
Haku shrugged and said apologetically, "Sorry, extracting Devil Fruit powers is really painful! Just bear with it, it'll be over soon!"
Mr. Muramasa has a million curses in his heart!
But the intense Pain rendered him completely speechless.
Haku had no choice; perhaps it was because the Index Finger's Chain of Plunder possessed some kind of conceptual power.
The person whose Devil Fruit power is extracted will not feel any pain.
Of course, those who Devil Fruit Awakening are an exception! These people have already absorbed the Devil Fruits into their bodies, Haku can only extract them by killing them.
And the dead, of course, feel no pain!
