Two Mentor-Disciple Pairs; Captain Levi Meets Luffy

Mikasa Ackerman and Eren Gorr's surprise did not last long.

They were brought before Wang Yan.

"Finally! I finally saw him!"

Eren stared wide-eyed, intently observing the being he had been dreaming of.

The person before us is not merely an individual, but also the embodiment of his ideals.

Her hair was as black as silk, her eyes as black as jewels, and her snow-white trench coat seemed untouched by any dust. She always wore a gentle smile, but deep down she felt very cold.

Sense of distance.

No matter how approachable the other person was, Eren couldn't overcome the fear deep inside him.

He stood before Wang Yan, but his own soul was desperately trying to escape.

In the presence of a being whose Life level far surpasses one's own, prolonged interaction with such a being will only cause Eren's soul, consciousness, and values to gradually assimilate into that being.

As time goes by, Eren will eventually lose himself.

But this is exactly the ending he wanted!

Learn from Wang Yan, become Wang Yan, and surpass Wang Yan!

He is still very weak now, but he has lofty ambitions.

"Nice eyes."

Wang Yan saw through Eren Yeager's thoughts, and instead of commenting, he said with a half-smile, "To be valued by both Sasuke and Kishō Arima, you two must have some extraordinary qualities."

He tilted his head, rubbed his chin, and said in a Youyou voice, "I'll give you a trial mission."

"If you can complete this mission, you will be the last two official members of the Nine Color Team."

Kishō Arima, Kaneki Ken, Sasuke Uchiha Naruto Uzumaki, Orochimaru, Orochimaru, Zoro, Ace.

The "Nine Colors" of the Giant Hunting Squad has now gathered seven members.

The other Reincarnator were either too boring in personality, and there wouldn't be any interesting stories if they were forced together; or they had important missions to complete, and Wang Yan didn't intend to force them to do so.

Therefore, according to his original plan, the last two spots in the Nine Color Hunting Squad were indeed reserved for Eren and Mikasa.

Just as Sasuke said—this is fate's arrangement.

Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Eren was so excited he almost bit his tongue.

He stammered, "I... we definitely won't let you down!"

As for Mikasa Ackerman, at this moment she simply touched the scarf around her neck, still maintaining the demeanor of a taciturn girl, without any emotional fluctuation.

In her bleak life, the only bright spot was Eren was by her side.

As long as I'm by Eren's side, that's enough.

It is acceptable regardless of one's status.

"Don't make promises you can't keep."

Wang Yan looked at Eren with a mocking gaze. "I hope you won't give up halfway through."

Eren paused, taken aback.

The young man's passion surged and ebbed, never ceasing.

His face flushed red, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he shouted back, "I will not give up! Even if it means death, I absolutely will not!"

Wang Yan looked at him, smiled, and shook her head.

Many people believe that nothing matters except death.

In their philosophy, as long as one is alive, everything is possible.

In fact, human beings fear many things more than death.

Half an hour later.

Nine Color Team Barracks, Black Room.

Ace's eyes blazed with Kakkō, revealing his inner turmoil. "A month of training, and you're sending these two little guys out to hunt ten Abnormal Titan each on their own?"

This was the first task given by the Guide, and perhaps in a sense, the ones who were truly being tested were not Mikasa and Eren, but him and Zoro.

Ace didn't expect to gain anything from Wang Yan.

He simply wanted to complete the task assigned to him.

Back in the Pirate World, Wang Yan brought Ace back to life from the river of time. Although Ace couldn't change much due to his own limited abilities, he would always remember this kindness.

Zoro, standing beside him, raised an eyebrow and gave him a vicious grin. "Are you scared?"

Upon hearing this, Ace's lips curled up slightly, and he clenched his fists loosely.

The phantom of Hong Lian blooms.

The indoor temperature suddenly rose by tens of degrees Celsius.

Flammable items such as parchment scrolls, paper, and curtains suddenly burst into flames.

Even in such a harsh environment, Ace and Zoro remained calm and showed no discomfort whatsoever.

"You choose first."

Ace smiled like a gentleman, his words and Central City exuding the charm of a medieval nobleman.

The polite young man in front of him made Zoro feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Even though Ace, Sabo, and their captain Luffy are sworn brothers, both Ace and Sabo appear polite and mature, while Luffy, that rascal, always seems carefree and heartless.

"Eren Gorr".

Zoro chose his "disciple".

Upon receiving this answer, Ace chuckled.

Luffy's crew members are just like him in Luffy.

Stubborn and obstinate.

Mikasa's overall abilities are clearly better Eren's.

If this were a character development game, then Mikasa could be considered a "professional" of "purple legendary" quality, while Eren could at best be considered a "green excellent" character.

The difference in talent is like an insurmountable chasm.

"Then, see you in a month."

Zoro and Ace each took on apprentices and began targeted training.

The Survey Corps' base.

Captain Levi Ackerman stared expressionlessly at the goofy boy in front of him.

Straw Hat, suit, casual shoes, combat pants.

From her clothing and accessories to her words and actions, she exudes an air of naivety and carefreeness.

"Name."

Levi asked in a detached tone.

Upon hearing this, Luffy pinched his chin, looking completely bewildered.

The cleaning lady in front of me has short black hair and is wearing a mask...

Why ask him his name?

Luffy, neck stiff, replied blankly, "I'm here to join Levi Squad's Squad of the Survey Corps. I'm going to kill Giant!"

Upon hearing this, the captain's already pale skin appeared even paler.

He frowned, veins bulging on his forehead, and the dark circles under his eyes seemed to have deepened. "So, your name?"

"Monkey D. Luffy!"

"I will convey your request to Commander Erwin."

Levi vaguely sensed the powerful aura emanating from the other party and gave a reply without expression.

Hearing this, Luffy grinned and carelessly patted the other's shoulders. "Although you're short and weak, you're a pretty good person."

At 1.73 Luffy is indeed considered "tall" when facing Captain Levi, who is only 1.6 meters tall.

After enduring much hardship, the captain's inner composure, known as reason, had been stretched to its limit.

He turned his head to the side, looking at the hands on his shoulders with disdain.

If I remember correctly, the other person seemed to have picked their nose with their hand just now.

Levi, who suffers from severe mysophobia, finally snapped.

I'll kill you!

That being said, Levi just wanted to beat the other person up and vent his resentment.

His figure flashed, and in an instant, he appeared behind Luffy and kicked him...
