Background
Zhou Qi was born into a large rural Zhou clan. His extended family had few university graduates but a strong tradition of military service; he himself would have been sent to enlist had he not entered high school. His mother, Sun Yanping, remained a key link between him and the wider family network. 9
He graduated from Jinmen University of Technology in 2014 and began writing novels that same year. His research for those stories led him into biology, later complementing his technical education and cross-world ventures. 256
Before gaining power and wealth, Zhou Qi developed a low-desire, minimalist lifestyle. His early drive to make money stemmed largely from having grown up poor; once financially secure, he became more interested in building institutions, supporting relatives, and pursuing cultivation than accumulating luxury goods. 93
Appearance
Immortal cultivation, synchronized physiques, and longevity steadily altered Zhou Qi's body. He eventually appeared to be a clean, exceptionally attractive seventeen- or eighteen-year-old despite his actual age and continued growth. 301 350
- His height increased from 1.69 m to 1.76 m after time in the One Piece world, then to 1.81 m through cultivation and 1.86 m after merging with the Archon Body 350.
- He has lustrous black hair, black eyes, unusually clear skin, and no visible pores, body odor, dandruff, or gray hair 352.
- His Immortal Power and Humanity's Principles Body refined his features without relying on the Love-Love Fruit's beauty effects 273.
- As Inazuma's acting Thunder God, he appeared in a purple robe embroidered with nine stars 260.
Personality
Zhou Qi approaches commerce and politics strategically. Rather than inflate Amoxicillin prices, he calculated that the World Government could reverse-engineer the medicine and chose a price that would make purchasing from him more economical than local production. 9 He applies the same pragmatism to management, restructuring inefficient departments, pursuing professional talent, and opposing exploitative 996-style work culture. 24 31 48
Family responsibility strongly influences his decisions. He sought capable relatives for management, funded opportunities for his village, and personally trained younger Zhou clan members so they could develop better futures. 9 80 86 He nevertheless insists that family members must work rather than exploit their surname. 80
Although initially cautious about exposing his powers, Zhou Qi can be overconfident in his own talent. His loss to Yan Xiaoyi forced him to acknowledge the difference between raw ability and real combat experience, making him more grounded and receptive to further learning. 109 190 His preferred organizational alignment is “neutral good”: protecting his own interests while maintaining a legal and moral bottom line. 41
Abilities & Skills
Time-Space Gate

- Can move people, containers, goods, and equipment between connected worlds 53.

Haki and Spiritual Senses
Zhou Qi possesses heightened perception derived from meditation, the Thunder-Thunder Fruit, and later Immortal Power.
- Observation Haki is continuously active and allows him to detect danger without consciously activating it 109.
- His Observation Haki can sense brainwaves and emotional states, allowing him to read intent when paired with micro-expressions 124.
- Conqueror's Haki manifests as a calming influence but is exhausting to maintain 191.
- Immortal Power later elevated his Observation Haki into a form of Divine Sense 229.
Immortal Law and Geo Path
Zhou Qi's immortal cultivation grants wide-ranging elemental, defensive, and sensory techniques.
- Earth Evasion lets him travel through soil, stone, metal, roots, water, fire, lava, and ice by pushing matter aside with Immortal Power 229.
- Rock Armor creates protective Qilin-scale armor, later styled after Zhao Zilong's Hao Long Liang Yin Armor 229.
- Mountain Moving manipulates earth, sand, mud, and stone, from catapult-scale attacks to moving mountains 229.
- Shrink Ground into Inches uses the earth beneath his feet for rapid movement over tens of meters per step 229.
- Treasure Sense detects underground gold, jewelry, agate, jade, and precious ores 229.
- Immovable Golden Body draws elemental energy to enhance defense and recovery; modifying its elemental input can also enhance flight, underwater movement, or heat resistance 229.

Story Role / Major Arcs
Pharmaceutical venture and early cultivation
Zhou Qi used Earth manufacturing to sell Amoxicillin in the One Piece world, deliberately setting prices low enough to keep the World Government dependent on his supply chain. He then recruited relatives and childhood friends to help build a pharmaceutical enterprise. 9
