Hard to Meet Again?! Bold Nami!!

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

Then, Chaos Hall began to shake violently. Endless black mist of chaos swept into the hall, the lights began to go out, and the Table of Destiny no longer glowed.

All of this made Nami, who was visiting Chaos Hall for the first time, look uncertain and alarmed. She patted the hand around her waist and asked, "What's happening now?"

Roman watched the waves of chaos sweep toward them, already submerging his legs. "The resonance period is over. Chaos Hall is about to be swallowed by the black mist... and we'll be returning to our respective worlds."

Nami's voice turned slightly cold. "Then... will we have another chance to meet?"

Hinata said, "Seven days."

Furina also spoke. "Perhaps seven years."

Nami froze slightly at that. "We might meet again after seven days, or seven years... Wait, that means time flows differently in the Naruto World and Teyvat."

"That's right." Roman nodded slightly. "Seven days passed in the Naruto World between this visit to Chaos Hall and the last one, while Furina waited seven years in Teyvat!

"As for how much faster or slower time moves in your world, Nami, we don't know.

"But in any case, as long as we stay alive, we'll definitely meet again and undergo Soul Resonance once more."

Nami lowered her head at his words, lost in thought.

At that moment, Roman withdrew the hand that had been around Nami's slender waist. "See you next time, Nami, Fuu."

Furina smiled and nodded. "See you."

By now, Furina knew that Chaos Hall would reappear after seven years, and the worry in her heart had completely vanished.

After all, she was the human side of the Fontaine Hydro Archon. Focalors, who had created her, had placed a well-intentioned curse of ageless immortality upon her... she would neither grow old nor die.

So, seven years was not a long time for her.

She only needed to wait.

On the other side, however, Nami was in a rather poor mood.

After all, time flowed differently in the Naruto World, Genshin Impact's Teyvat, and the Pirate World.

What if the difference in time flow was too great?

For example, seven days in the Naruto World, seven years in Genshin Impact's Teyvat, and seventy years in the Pirate World?

Then she, Nami, might die of old age before entering Chaos Hall again.

After all, neither the Mera Mera no Mi nor Armament Haki could stop aging from catching up to her.

Only the Ope Ope no Mi, which could perform the immortality operation, and certain special Devil Fruits could extend one's lifespan...

At that moment, Nami silently considered in her heart:

After I return this time, I really need to enter the Grand Line and search for the Ope Ope no Mi, as well as other methods of extending my lifespan!

Just then, Roman sensed Nami's heavy mood and could not help saying, "Don't worry. The difference between the Pirate World's time flow and that of the Naruto World and Teyvat shouldn't be that extreme!"

Nami shook her head. "Just as I reincarnated as Nami and, through memories from before I crossed over, learned in advance that Arlong would invade. I made all kinds of preparations beforehand and only then successfully wiped out the Arlong Pirates!

"Now that I know time flows differently in the various worlds, I must also prepare for this meeting to be our last!

"For that, I..."

Nami stopped halfway through her sentence, turned around, and looked straight into Roman's eyes before fiercely pressing herself against him.

This time, her target was not his cheek, but one of the features people used to eat.

Thus, Roman tasted Nami.

It was a sweet, fragrant taste that made him unable to resist becoming immersed in it.

Just then, Roman felt his hand being seized. His eyes shifted, and when he looked down, he saw Nami take his hand of her own accord and place it on her breasts.

"I won't charge you Beli this time. You can do whatever you want... since this might be the last time we meet, let's just..."

Roman froze at her words. Just as he was about to say something, he found his mouth blocked.

Roman was about to make a move...

However, at that very moment, the tide of chaos surged over them, swallowing the two of them and expelling them from Chaos Hall.

At the same time, Furina, who had not yet been swallowed by the chaos, saw the two together and widened her mismatched eyes.

At the final moment, Nami actually made a move first!

I was clearly first!

Whether it was holding hands or kissing his cheek... I was first in all of it... yet Roman's first real kiss was...

Hinata, who likewise had not yet been swept away by the chaos, looked far calmer. The reason was simple: the one who had truly taken Roman's first time was not Nami, the little thief cat from the One Piece world, but her, Hinata Hyuga!!

As the two entertained different thoughts, the tide of chaos swept over everything, carrying them away. The next moment, the entire hall was once more completely drowned in black mist and vanished without a trace.

Teyvat.

Within Fontaine's Palais Mermonia, Furina reappeared in a flash of water-blue light. As she naturally circulated the Variant Chakra Cultivation Method, she connected to the Ley Lines!

In an instant, a crimson eye-shaped item appeared before Furina. More accurately, it was a Pyro Vision.

Furina looked at the Pyro Vision with her mismatched eyes. There was delight in her gaze, as well as embarrassment, anger, and a trace of annoyance.

Just then, a barefoot girl in a pure white dress suddenly appeared in the mirror in Furina's bedroom. She was none other than Fontaine's true second-generation Hydro Archon, the strongest Oceanid—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 it was even a Pyro Vision. What exactly had happened?!

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

"Mirror Me, stay calm. I'll tell you everything... It happened like this..."

Furina walked to the mirror and touched Focalors within it—the true, pure and flawless Hydro Archon of justice, dressed in the Hydro Archon's divine attire—and told her everything that had happened in Chaos Hall.

Meanwhile, on the shore of Cocoyasi Village in the Pirate World... Nami appeared. First, she touched her breasts, which still faintly hurt from being tightly gripped earlier.

Then she clenched her fist and looked at the black Armament Haki coating her arm, understanding that entering Chaos Hall had not been a dream.

Since that was the case.

She had to make preparations!

Test her ability to tread water, test her current affinity with the sea, then enter the Grand Line and seize the Ope Ope no Mi...

Nami looked out at the boundless waves, listening to the sound of the tide rising and falling as she laid out a series of plans in her heart.
