Uchiha Xin placed his palm on the top of her head.
The Eye of God shone with a purple-gold light.
The exclusive Dependent Mark begins to condense.
Tashigi's body trembled.
A purple-gold line appeared on her forehead and then disappeared into her skin.
A massive amount of Chakra surged into her body.
This power did not conflict with Haki.
After the Ten-Tails Chakra entered her meridians, it rapidly transformed her body, enhancing her physical strength, recovery ability, and mental perception.
Tashigi groaned and braced herself on the ground with her hands.
The paving stones on the training field cracked below her knees.
" Tashigi!"
Nami instinctively took a step forward.
Robin raised his hand to stop her.
Don't go over there.
"The power is still being poured in."
Tashigi gritted her teeth.
She could feel every part of her body changing.
The Observation Haki, which originally required concentration to use, began to spread outwards on its own.
She clearly captured every breath, every step, and even Nami's light tapping of the pillar in the training field.
Armament Haki was also surging.
A dark, Haki spread upwards from her arms, covering her shoulders, torso, and legs.
A moment later, her entire body was covered in Armament Haki.
The stone slab could not withstand the power emanating from her, and cracks spread outwards.
Perona stared wide-eyed.
"That Armament Haki..."
"Much stronger than Marine Vice Admiral, isn't he?"
Robin, too, could no longer remain calm.
She has met Crocodile and has also met many other powerful figures on the Grand Line.
The aura emanating from Tashigi at this moment has completely surpassed the level of the Shichibukai.
Nami took two steps back.
"Didn't she just manage to defeat Smoker?"
"How much time has passed?"
"Not even a minute!"
Uchiha Xin withdrew his hand.
The power infusion then ended.
Tashigi knelt on the spot, panting heavily.
A few breaths later, she slowly stood up.
She raised her right hand.
Armament Haki extended outwards from his palm, covering Shigure at a distance.
The scabbard made a soft clattering sound.
Shigure was drawn from its sheath on its own and fell into her hand.
A powerful, Haki flowed from the Black Blade.
Tashigi casually slashed forward.
The blade did not touch the ground.
The training ground was remotely cut open, creating a rift tens of meters long.
Nami stared at the crack, speechless for a long time.
Perona landed on the ground, forgetting even to open her parasol.
"That's way too much."
Uchiha Xin looked at Tashigi.
"Your Armament Haki is already close to Rayleigh's level."
" His Observation Haki is slightly weaker than his Armament Haki, but it's only slightly inferior to Katakuri's."
"With your current strength, Smoker is no longer qualified to be your opponent."
Tashigi gripped Shigure.
She could clearly feel that this power now completely belonged to her.
It's not out of control.
There was not a trace of superficiality.
With just a thought, she can unleash her full Haki.
She sheathed Shigure and knelt before Uchiha Xin once more.
"I will never forget everything that you have given me."
From this day forward, my sword will fight only for you.
Perona muttered to herself.
I told you there was a way.
Uchiha Xin glanced at her.
Perona immediately shut up.
For the next few days, the Divine Palace did not leave the vicinity of Alabasta.
Nami goes to the training ground every day.
She had witnessed Tashigi rise from an ordinary naval swordsman to become one of the top warriors on the high seas, and she could no longer contain herself.
That day, she blocked Uchiha Xin's door.
"Boss."
"I want to become a member of the family too."
Uchiha Xin glanced at her.
"You don't just want the ability to turn lead into gold, do you?"
That was before.
Nami immediately changed her tune.
"Now I think that ability is also very important."
"If someone tries to steal my gold in the future, I'll have to be able to protect it, right?"
She stepped forward and hugged Uchiha Xin's arm.
"If Tashigi can do it, why can't I?"
"I am the navigator of the Divine Palace."
"We can't be too much worse than her, can we?"
Uchiha Xin did not refuse.
The Eye of God activated, and the exclusive Dependent Mark entered Nami's body.
The Ten-Tails Chakra was then poured in.
Nami's body, senses, and Haki were all enhanced simultaneously.
After the power infusion ended, she looked down at her hands, still in a daze.
"Is that all?"
"I've become stronger now too?"
Perona floated to the side and said irritably:
"Otherwise what?"
"Does your master intend to hold a ceremony for you?"
Nami did not argue with her.
She rushed back to the gold room, ready to try and move the Pure Gold bed herself.
Another day has passed.
Vivi also found Uchiha Xin.
She wasn't as direct as Nami, but she had already made her decision.
"Now that I have followed you out of Alabasta, I cannot remain hidden in the Divine Palace forever."
I also want the power to protect myself.
Uchiha Xin also included her in his family.
After the Ten-Tails Chakra was fully infused, Vivi's strength also experienced a leap forward.
At this point, Uchiha Xin has five personal retinues in the One Piece world.
The five individuals were not only exceptionally good-looking, but they also possessed power far exceeding their original levels.
A mechanical system sound followed.
[Ding! Detected that the host has consecutively taken in five female personal attendants.]
[System Prompt: The purpose of the Companion function is to help the host establish cross-realm power.]
[Based on current usage results, the host seems to have developed it into a harem function.]
Uchiha Xin's face darkened.
"Shut up."
[Ding! This is just a reasonable reminder from the system.]
Say one more word and I'll block you.
The system immediately went silent.
In the following days, the Divine Palace was unusually quiet.
Robin organizes the materials from the Poneglyph.
Nami was responsible for confirming the flight path and weather.
Vivi gradually adapted to life in the Divine Palace.
Tashigi spends every day at the training ground familiarizing herself with her surging power.
Perona resumed her job as a maid, but her expression was never pleasant whenever she saw the three newcomers.
After a brief rest, Uchiha Xin decided not to stay any longer.
For the Eye of God to break through to the fifth stage, it needs to absorb more Poneglyph.
The nearest and most clearly located target is the Sky Island.
Before setting off, Uchiha Xin summoned the five people to the main hall.
"Next destination, Sky Island."
Nami held the sea chart and paused for two seconds.
" Sky Island?"
"Are you talking about the legendary island that floats in the sky?"
"Does such a place really exist?"
Vivi's face was also full of doubt.
"There are also rumors about Sky Island in Alabasta."
"But no one has ever been able to prove its existence."
"How could an island possibly float in the sky forever?"
Robin did not refute Uchiha Xin.
She closed the book.
"Since the adults say it exists, then it should be possible to find it."
However, reliable records about Sky Island are indeed scarce.
"I've looked up some information before, but I still can't confirm the entry point."
Perona, holding her parasol, did not participate in the argument.
She had witnessed far too many forces beyond reason, and no longer found a Sky Island particularly strange.
