Hard to See Again?! Bold Nami!!

The four's Soul Resonance lasted an entire day and night.

Then, the Chaos Hall began to tremble violently. Endless black mist surged inward, the lights flickered out, and the Table of Destiny stopped glowing.

All of this left Nami, visiting the Chaos Hall for the first time, with a look of shock and uncertainty. She patted the hand wrapped around her waist and said, "What's happening now?"

Roman watched the chaotic tide rolling in, already submerging his legs, and replied, "The resonance time is over. The Chaos Hall is about to be swallowed by the black mist... and we'll all return to our own worlds."

Nami's voice turned cold. "Then... will we ever meet again?"

Hinata: "Seven days."

Furina spoke up too. "Maybe seven years."

Nami paused, startled. "Seven days, seven years, and we might meet again... Wait, that means the Naruto World and the Teyvat World have different time flows."

"That's right." Roman nodded slightly. "Last time we reached the Chaos Hall, seven days passed in the Naruto World, while Furina waited seven years in Teyvat!

"As for your world, Nami, we don't know the time multiplier yet.

"But in short, as long as we keep living, we'll meet again and resonate once more."

Nami lowered her head, lost in thought.

Roman withdrew his hand from her slender waist. "See you next time, Nami. Fou."

Furina smiled and nodded. "Goodbye."

By now, Furina knew the Chaos Hall appeared every seven years, so her heart held no worry.

After all, she was the human side of the Fontaine Hydro Archon, blessed by her creator Focalors with a kind curse of immortality—she wouldn't age or die.

So for her, seven years wasn't long.

She just had to wait.

On the other side, Nami's mood was grim.

After all, the three worlds—Naruto, Genshin's Teyvat, and One Piece—all had different time flows.

What if the gap was huge?

For example, seven days in the Naruto World, seven years in Teyvat, and seventy years in the Pirate World?

Then she, Nami, might die of old age before the next entry into the Chaos Hall.

After all, neither the Mera Mera no Mi nor Armament Haki could stop aging.

Only the Ope Ope no Mi, capable of performing the eternal youth surgery, and some special Devil Fruits could extend life...

At that moment, Nami silently thought to herself:

Looks like after I go back this time, I really need to enter the Grand Line and find the Op-Op Fruit, along with other methods to prolong life!

Just then, Roman sensed Nami's heavy mood and couldn't help saying, "Don't worry. The time flow in the Pirate World probably won't differ that much from the Naruto and Teyvat Worlds!"

Nami shook her head. "Just like when I reincarnated as Nami, I used memories from before my transmigration to know the Arlong Pirates would invade early, and I prepared a lot to wipe them out!

"Now that I know the time flows differ between worlds, I have to treat this meeting as if it might be our last!

"So, I..."

She trailed off, turned around, and stared straight into Roman's eyes. Then she lunged forward.

This time, her target wasn't his cheek, but one of the five facial features—the part that eats food.

Thus, Roman tasted Nami's flavor.

It was a sweet taste, one that made the heart sink into indulgence.

Just then, Roman felt his hand being grabbed. He glanced down and saw Nami taking the initiative to place his hand on her big thunder:

"No Beli this time. You can do whatever you want... since this might be our last meeting, let's just..."

Roman froze, about to say something, but found his mouth blocked.

He was about to act...

But at that moment, the chaotic tide surged and swallowed them both, expelling them from the Chaos Hall.

At the same time, Furina, still not engulfed by the chaos, saw the two together and widened her Heterochromatic Eyes:

At the last moment, Nami actually made a move!

It should have been me first!

Whether it was holding hands or kissing the cheek... I was first at everything... but Roman's first kiss went to...

Meanwhile, Hinata, also untouched by the chaos, remained calm. The reason was simple: the one who truly took Roman's first wasn't the little thief cat Nami from the One Piece world, but her, Hinata Hyuga!!

And as their thoughts diverged, the chaotic tide swept everything away, pulling their figures out. The next moment, the entire hall was submerged in black mist, vanishing completely.

Teyvat World.

Fontaine, Palais Mermonia. A water-blue light flashed, and Furina's figure reappeared. As she naturally activated the Variant Chakra Cultivation Method, she connected with the Ley Lines!

In an instant, a fiery red eye-like item materialized before her—more precisely, a Pyro Vision.

Furina stared at the Fire Vision with her Heterochromatic Eyes, her expression a tangled mix of delight, indignation, and a trace of chagrin.

Just then, a barefoot girl in a pure white dress suddenly appeared in the mirror inside Furina's bedroom—none other than the true second-generation Hydro Archon of Fontaine, the strongest of the Oceanids: Focalors!

The moment she arrived and saw what Furina was holding, she froze on the spot:

A Vision!

Furina had obtained a second Vision—and a Fire-type one at that. What in the world was going on?!

"Furina, what exactly is that in your hand..."

"Mirror me, stay calm. I'll tell you everything... It went like this..."

Furina stepped up to the mirror, touched the reflection of the true, spotless Hydro Archon of justice—Focalors—clad in her divine regalia, and recounted everything that had happened in Chaos Hall.

Meanwhile, on the shores of Cocoyasi Village in the Pirate World, Nami's figure appeared. She first rubbed her wrist, still sore from the tight grip she'd held on the Great Thunderclap Temple earlier.

Then she clenched her fist, looked at the jet-black Armament Haki staining her arm, and understood that her trip to Chaos Hall had been no illusion.

If that was the case...

She had to prepare.

Test her ability to tread water. Test her current affinity with the sea. And then—evolve the Grand Line, seize the Op-Op Fruit...

Nami gazed at the endless ocean waves, listening to the rhythm of the tides rising and falling, and laid out a series of plans in her mind.
