Ch. 981Luo Fan's proposal!
Luo Fan and the Weird Bride discussed why they had to attack Yamato before he could turn his mature Space-Time Dao Fruit into an uncanny artifact. Luo Fan proposed exploiting the injury Yamato would suffer when the Willow Immortal Elder separated the Dao Fruit, leaving the Weird Bride surprised by his idea.
- The Weird Bride explained that Yamato was immune to rule-type abilities, making him a dangerous target, but they could not wait because he had contacted the Willow Immortal Elder to forge his Space-Time Dao Fruit into an uncanny artifact.
- Luo Fan introduced the Willow Immortal Elder as an immobile willow tree with a top-class forging ability who had once fused Innate Yang Steel into his Weird Gun.
- The Weird Bride said she considered a rule-type skill more useful than a rule-type uncanny artifact, so they needed to seize Yamato's Dao Fruit soon.
- Luo Fan reasoned that Yamato would likely have the Willow Immortal Elder brought to Eastern Japan Island and that separating the Dao Fruit from Yamato would injure or weaken him.
- The Weird Bride realized Luo Fan had a plan and asked if he intended to exploit Yamato's weakened state.
