Hinata's Declaration to Fall in Love and Get Married?!

Furina pressed a hand to her utterly unremarkable chest, lifted her slender swan-like neck, and said, "It's not just Hinata who knows. I, Furina—the Queen of Waters, Lands, People, and Laws—know as well."

Furina and Hinata Hyuga both knew intelligence about the Pirate World?!

Something was off!

Very off!

There was something wrong with these three!

And it was a huge problem!!

Wait... could it be that Roman, who looked exactly like me in my previous life, had told them all of this?!

As a flash of insight struck her mind, Nami fixed her gaze on Roman and asked:

"It was you? You told them all that information?"

"Me?"

Roman pointed at himself, thought for a moment, then said, "In a sense, I told them. But in another sense, you told them too."

"What kind of riddle is that? Damn it! Believe it or not, I'll blow you up on the spot with a Great Flame Ring: Flame Emperor!"

As Nami spoke, the flames and fireball she held high in her hand swelled ever larger and brighter.

The surrounding temperature rose with them, growing hotter and hotter.

Even the surrounding space—or more accurately, the air—began to distort.

"Let me explain."

Sweat seeped beneath Furina's airtight ceremonial dress, leaving it sticky against her skin. She spoke seriously, "Look into my eyes, Hinata's eyes, and Roman's eyes. Then you'll understand everything."

Look into their eyes?

Why was even Furina, the Fontaine Hydro Archon, speaking in riddles now?

What could she possibly see by looking into their eyes?

As Nami met the gazes of the three of them, she thought this... but her thoughts soon came to a halt. More precisely, a vast amount of foreign information flooded into her mind, leaving her whole body frozen:

Chaos Hall of Destiny!

At the beginning, Roman had been hit by a truck and split into ninety-nine pieces?!

His soul had split into ninety-nine fragments and fallen into different worlds!

They had respectively reincarnated as male Roman, Hinata Hyuga in the Naruto World, and Furina, the Hydro Archon of Teyvat?!

Nami stood where she was, taking several minutes to process the information.

A few minutes later, she finally understood that what Roman had said minutes earlier had not been a riddle at all:

The information about the One Piece world had indeed been provided by Roman, but she herself had also told Furina and Hinata Hyuga!

—Because all of their souls, as well as the information, originated from the original Roman!

Likewise, what Furina had just said had not been a riddle.

—Looking into their eyes... really could make her understand everything.

After thinking this through, Nami clenched her hand, and the enormous fireball in the Void—Great Flame Ring: Flame Emperor—rapidly scattered and vanished. With a thoughtful yet incredulous look, she said:

"You really are reincarnations of fragments of the original Roman's shattered soul?"

"Absolutely." Furina planted her hands on her hips and said:

"If that weren't the case, then I—the Fontaine Hydro Archon of Teyvat, the Queen of Waters, Lands, People, and Laws—and little Hinata here from the Naruto World couldn't possibly know about the Pirate World or the Devil Fruit, the Mera Mera no Mi."

"I understand."

Nami nodded, then focused her gaze on Roman. Her exquisite face showed both envy and deep frustration. "But why are you so lucky? You reincarnated as male Roman."

Roman was somewhat speechless. "You think that was lucky?"

Nami widened her eyes and questioned him, "Isn't that lucky?"

Roman said, "Look into my eyes and have a Soul Resonance with me. Then you'll understand what kind of life I lived over the past dozen or so years."

Nami did not hesitate to meet Roman's gaze. Then, through the vision of his soul, she saw Roman's past:

He had reincarnated into the Naruto World and become an orphan just three seconds after successfully reincarnating!

And because he had no talent for Chakra, even Root's orphanage refused to take him in... From a very young age, he had to fend for himself, weaving straw sandals, making palm-leaf grasshoppers, working as a small craftsman and peddler, sometimes hungry and sometimes fed...

After seeing it all, Nami could not help but sigh. "An orphan the moment you reincarnated... It's incredible that you managed to survive such a difficult life and make it to this day.

"I don't envy you anymore."

After saying that, Nami suddenly realized something and asked, "Wait, you reincarnated into the Naruto World, and Hinata Hyuga is from the Naruto World too. Are the two of you in the same world?"

"Yes."

Hinata nodded her little head and said with a faint smile, "The same world... But at first, neither Roman nor I realized that the other was a reincarnation of a fragment of the original Roman's soul!

"Until that afternoon, when I was walking down the street and saw his stall... Then Roman and I spoke, and our eyes met!

"In the end, we came to know and recognize each other!"

"Roman has already moved into the Hyuga Clan now. He gets the same treatment as I do."

"He enjoys the treatment of a Hyuga Main Family child?" A trace of surprise appeared on Nami's delicate face. "You brought a man home and gave him such preferential treatment. Didn't your father in this life, Hyuga Hiashi, have anything to say about it?

"After all, you're still so little!"

Hinata said, "At first, he was very dissatisfied. He even had people prepare to drive Roman out. But through Roman's and my joint efforts, my father, Hiashi, has gradually come to accept him. He didn't even react too fiercely when I said that I wanted to be with Roman after I grew up."

"Huh?" Nami said.

"Huh?" Furina said.

The two of them widened their eyes and stared at Hinata in disbelief. "You said you wanted to be with Roman after you grew up?"

"What else was I supposed to do? Find some other man? I simply couldn't accept that, okay? We reincarnated with our memories intact—we didn't go through reincarnation after drinking Meng Po Soup..."

Hinata grabbed Roman's hand and tightly interlocked her fingers with his as she said earnestly, "Compared to other stinky men, Roman is better. He's someone I can accept more easily. Besides, if I'm with Roman, we can use Soul Resonance to rapidly increase our strength."

Furina's small mouth fell slightly open. "Being together with another gender-swapped version of yourself... that's just too..."

Hinata said, "Fufu, if Roman had reincarnated in Fontaine, Teyvat, instead of the Naruto World, and you had been the first person to recognize him, I believe you would have made the same choice I did."

Furina grew flustered at those words. Blushing, she jumped down from Roman's lap, put her hands on her hips, and said to Hinata:

"I, the great Fontaine Hydro Archon... would... would never."

"Really?"

"Of course... I... wouldn't."

Furina's mouth remained stubborn, but she quickly realized that Roman was another version of herself—and that he could also use Soul Resonance with her to rapidly improve her strength.

If... Roman had truly reincarnated in Teyvat rather than the Naruto World, then there was indeed a very high chance that she, the Fontaine Hydro Archon, would have brought Roman to the Palais Mermonia!

They would have been together day and night.

They could eat delicious little cakes, perform plays together at the Opera Epiclese, play all kinds of fun and interesting games, and use the time they spent together to increase their strength through Soul Resonance.

That way, she could rapidly transform into a Fontaine Hydro Archon with true strength, changing the despairing prophecy and fate that, more than four hundred years later, Fontaine would be flooded by the Primordial Seawater and everyone would dissolve in the water!!
