Soul Synchronization with the Mera Mera no Mi?! A Pyro Vision?! Is Furina, the Hydro Archon, Switching to Become the Pyro Archon?!

After giving it some thought, Furina had to admit that Hinata was right. If Roman truly reincarnated into the world of Teyvat—Genshin Impact—

She would absolutely bring Roman to the Palais Mermonia, have him live there, and make Roman the companion of herself, Fontaine's God of Justice, the King of All Waters, All Peoples, All Laws.

They would live together day and night, engaging in Soul Resonance to rapidly increase their strength.

Of course, although Furina admitted it inwardly, she still retorted aloud, "Even if Roman reincarnated in Teyvat... I, Furina, absolutely would not..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Hinata raised both hands in a stopping gesture. "Fufu, did you forget? My Byakugan can see the emotions in your heart, so there's no need for you to deny it."

"Y-you-you... Damn it!!"

Furina felt embarrassed and angry inside, her face flushing red.

She began stamping her feet.

The crisp sound of her leather boots striking the floor echoed through Chaos Hall.

Just then, Nami raised her hand. "Um... what exactly is Soul Resonance? Why can it make someone's strength grow so quickly?"

Hinata turned her head and smiled faintly. "At such close range, the resonance between souls has already begun. You should be able to feel it now."

Feel what?

Just as Nami was about to ask, she heard Hinata say:

"Use that move you used earlier—Great Flame Ring: Flame Emperor."

?!

Though Nami was puzzled, she still raised her arm and clenched her fist!

Flames rose once more in the Void of Chaos Hall, illuminating the countless roiling currents of chaos outside the hall.

A massive fireball dozens of meters wide formed, like a small sun, flooding the entire hall with light.

What was this?

Nami stared blankly at the Great Flame Ring: Flame Emperor she had unleashed. At that moment, she had already realized that something was off about this move's power!

Whether it was its size and scale—

Or its heat, all of it had increased enormously!

Could this be Soul Resonance... Simply by staying together, her power increased automatically?!

With that thought, Nami clenched her fist.

In an instant, the enormous fireball, like a miniature sun, dispersed.

At the same time, Nami's arm turned a glossy black. That was Armament Haki!

Like the Devil Fruit—the Mera Mera no Mi—it was a power unique to the world of One Piece.

She had actually used it.

Nami looked at the hand wrapped in Haki, her heart filled with astonishment.

Everyone present who had watched the One Piece anime, Roman included, recognized the Haki Nami had used at a glance. Their hearts were also filled with surprise. None of them had expected that, besides the Mera Mera no Mi, Nami had also mastered Armament Haki.

This made everyone curious about what Nami had experienced in the world of One Piece.

Their curiosity quickly reached Nami's heart. After pausing slightly, she said:

"You all want to know about my past... Actually, it's pretty simple. I was hit by a Dayun Heavy Truck and reincarnated into the world of One Piece, in Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue. I was adopted by Belmere and named Nami.

"When I was very, very young, I knew that the world I was in was the Pirate World. I also realized that if I continued muddling through life, the Arlong Pirates would come to the East Blue and impose an extremely brutal rule over Cocoyasi Village. My adoptive mother, Belmere, would be killed by the Arlong Pirates!

"To prevent that terrible outcome, I began learning navigation from Belmere when I was very young. Perhaps because I had reincarnated as Nami, and had an exceptional talent for navigation, my progress advanced by leaps and bounds! I grew rapidly!

"After learning enough navigation skills, I set sail.

"My first stop was Shimotsuki Village, where Koushirou's dojo was located. I became his student there and learned the basics of swordsmanship. I met Kuina too, and we became best friends!"

"My second stop was Foosha Village, the village of Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece!

"I saw Garp ruthlessly beat Luffy with a fist coated in Armament Haki.

"I also confirmed there that the son of the Pirate King, Luffy's older brother Portgas D. Ace, had not yet set sail and had not yet obtained the Mera Mera no Mi!

"So, relying on my talent for navigation, I drew a sea chart from Foosha Village to the Grand Line, marking the many islands along the way. Then I set sail and began searching for clues about the Mera Mera no Mi.

"At the time, I believed that my reincarnation as Nami made me one of the main characters in the world of One Piece.

"Even if I wasn't the greatest protagonist, I should at least possess a certain amount of luck.

"A Devil Fruit with a degree of self-awareness probably wouldn't reject me.

"So I began searching. In the end, after going through many hardships, I succeeded!

"I found the Devil Fruit that Ace was originally supposed to obtain—the Mera Mera no Mi—and ate it!

"Then I rushed without stopping to Cocoyasi Village. When the Arlong Pirates attacked, I used the Mera Mera no Mi to blow apart the Arlong Pirates and save my adoptive mother, Belmere.

"After that, I stayed in Cocoyasi Village, recalling Garp's movements and techniques when he used Armament Haki to beat Luffy, while continuing to train in swordsmanship!

"Yet several months passed, and I still couldn't even get started with Haki. Likewise, my swordsmanship never reached the level of cutting steel, nor did I reach the realm of a master swordsman.

"But after coming to this Chaos Hall and coming into contact with all of you, things became different!"

"My development of the Devil Fruit—the Mera Mera no Mi—advanced by an entire level. My body became stronger as well, and I could directly use Armament Haki!"

By the end, Nami could not stop a smile from spreading across her face.

Hinata, Roman, and Furina all widened their eyes when they heard this. None of them had expected Nami's life after reincarnating into the world of One Piece to be so eventful.

She learned navigation from her adoptive mother.

She studied swordsmanship in Shimotsuki Village.

Then she went to Foosha Village, met Garp, and memorized Armament Haki!

Finally, she drew sea charts of the Grand Line's routes and relied on her innate sharp senses to find the Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi. Then she ate it and wiped out the Arlong Pirates—every step of that had been nothing short of brilliant!!

"You're amazing." Furina's heterochromatic eyes shone brightly as she gazed at Nami with envy. "Compared to you, I spent seventeen years in Fontaine, Teyvat, and achieved nothing at all. I can't even beat the Fontaine Seals... sob..."

Nami shook her head at that. "I know about the problem your world faced. Even if I had gone to Fontaine in your Teyvat, I still wouldn't have been able to change Fontaine's fated destruction!

"After all, that was a prophecy of the Heavenly Principles!

"And more importantly, I reincarnated as Nami. I was born with a sensitivity to weather and the ability to quickly learn navigation. It was those innate talents that allowed me to change everything!

"But you, Furina, are a pure human nurtured by Focalors. You don't even possess supernatural power. The only thing you're good at is acting, so naturally you had no way to change Fontaine's fate..."

Nami trailed off there, because she noticed that Furina actually had a Hydro Vision hanging from her person.

"Where did you get that thing?"

Furina said, "This? After I had Soul Resonance with Roman and Hinata last time, I returned to Teyvat and practiced the Chakra cultivation method. Then I obtained this Vision from the Ley Lines!"

"Then can you summo—"

Nami had only gotten halfway through her question when she saw three Hydro summons crawl out from beneath the table, whimpering as though they were saying that the giant fireball had vanished and the air around them was finally no longer scorching hot!

A trace of embarrassment flashed through Nami's eyes at the sight. She realized that she had just unleashed Great Flame Ring: Flame Emperor without warning, forcing the three little ones to hide under the table.

Just then, Roman spoke. "Fufu, now that Nami is here—and she ate the Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi—perhaps after you achieve Soul Resonance with her this time and return to Teyvat, you'll be able to obtain a Pyro Vision."

Furina snapped out of her envy at those words. After giving it some careful thought, her expression brightened.

"That really is possible."

Then Furina seemed to think of something else. She raised a hand and scratched her cheek with a finger. "As Fontaine's Hydro Archon, the God of Justice in the eyes of my people... wouldn't it be a little inappropriate for me to wear a Pyro Vision?"

"What's inappropriate about it? You're the Hydro Archon, the God of Justice... everything you do is justice!"

"That makes sense!!"
