Lan Luo returned home and thought about all the dangers of the day. If Shisui hadn't gone to inform the Hokage, Danzo might have been able to demand that Uchiha Fugaku hand over Lan Luo on the grounds of killing a Village comrade.
After calming down, he opened the scroll. By deciphering it, he understood the principle of the Phantom Shadow Clone. The clone constructed with Yin Release and Clone Jutsu was indeed very ingenious. As for Izanagi and Izanami, they were truly too overpowered. No matter how they were used, the cost was blindness. Simply put, once activated, they couldn't be voluntarily deactivated; all the ocular power of that eye had to be consumed. From the perspective of the Three Tomoe, it was indeed possible. Lan Luo remembered that Uchiha Madara could use Izanagi for several days, while Danzo could only use Izanagi for a few minutes.
If he could decipher Kurama Yakumo's kekkei genkai, plus Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, and Itachi's Tsukuyomi, he could forcibly pull people into a genjutsu world, modify their personal will, turn illusions into reality, and combine it with Izanagi. He could obtain Eight Thousand Spears, which absorbs others' Chakra for his own use. The most important thing was that Eight Thousand Spears, having absorbed the Chakra of the Senju Clan, meant he wouldn't have to worry about his eyes going blind.
Before he could fully recover, Lan Luo entered a mysterious hall. In the center was a long stone table, and the surrounding stone chairs, about twenty or so, extended into the mist. He only saw a large man, about 2.2 meters tall, sitting on one of the chairs. His muscles were like steel, and his abdomen had clearly defined abs. He bore a ninety percent resemblance to Lan Luo, which instantly made Hokage Lan Luo understand.
"Yo, little brother, you're here," Pirate Lan Luo actively stepped forward and shook hands with Hokage Lan Luo.
"Are there no other people?" Hokage Lan Luo went straight for a hug. He was too eager to improve. Without power in the Naruto World, he was at the mercy of others.
The moment the two embraced, different memories synchronized. Hokage Lan Luo's world felt a bit sour. Pirate Lan Luo was born into the chaotic West Blue, into the Xifusili family, which had some wealth. He awakened his memories relatively early.
At the age of six, he strongly urged his parents, saying that the West Blue was too chaotic and he wanted to settle in the East Blue, listing a series of reasons. Especially the line, "The West Blue is full of mafias; I don't want to be like that when I grow up," made his doting parents decide to move.
With memories of his past life, he moved to Shimotsuki Village and became a disciple of Shimotsuki Genzo. He also met the tiny Kuina and the green-haired boy.
He began Kendo training at a young age. There was no other way; in this era, to gain power, one had to train hard, either by joining pirates or the Marine. He remembered that this year was Sea Calendar 1509.
Shimotsuki Genzo was also very satisfied with this disciple. His strong physique, his Observation Haki that was about to awaken, and his resolute heart for learning Kendo truly made him a prodigy for a Great Swordsman.
Pirate Lan Luo's family lived next to the Shimotsuki Village Kendo dojo, which also made his parents very happy. In the same year, Pirate Lan Luo's parents' canned food production also began to get on track. After all, the small Sea Kings they caught were very large and difficult to preserve, and sea voyages also required replenishing fruits like oranges.
This led Pirate Lan Luo's family to frequently go to Orange Town to purchase goods, and through intermediaries, they learned about Nami's hometown, Cocoyasi Village.
In just one year, Pirate Lan Luo's Kendo progressed rapidly. With the fusion of memories from two lives, many key points were immediately understood by Lan Luo after Shimotsuki Genzo demonstrated them once, leaving the young Kuina and the green-haired boy dumbfounded.
In Sea Calendar 1510, Lan Luo saved Kuina, who was about to die under the Great Staircase, and met the person he most wanted to see since coming to Shimotsuki Village: Revolutionary Army Dragon.
This was a treasure trove. Not to mention the Marine Rokushiki, there must also be various Haki. He could also get Attack Cuisine. After all, he was still young and couldn't go out to sea, but many things were needed now, such as the Wapu Wapu no Mi, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire Form.
So, Pirate Lan Luo immediately handed Dragon a red book. As Dragon read the entire book, his gaze towards Lan Luo became quite peculiar.
This was a natural Revolutionary Army saint; he had to be brought into the Revolutionary Army. However, Lan Luo refused, as he still had family and many of his own things to do. So, they made a deal: using information about North Blue Chinjao's treasure and Sky Island's treasure, he hired Dragon to help retrieve three Devil Fruits, plus the Brain-Brain Fruit replicated by Dragon and Vegapunk, though Dragon said it was a failed fruit.
Pirate Lan Luo didn't care about this. It was also at this time that Dragon handed Lan Luo a handwritten copy of Attack Cuisine, Marine Rokushiki, and a detailed explanation of Haki. Through Dragon's Conqueror's Haki, Lan Luo awakened his initial Conqueror's Haki. In short, Lan Luo in the One Piece World had an incredibly lucky start.
On the night he obtained the Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire Form, Lan Luo returned home with Kuina. His parents looked at Lan Luo with a strange expression, thinking this little pig already knew how to go after the young cabbage.
This made Lan Luo, who was standing by, not know whether to laugh or cry. He went upstairs, retrieved the Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire Form, and a handwritten copy of Rokushiki. He handed them to Kuina and said, "This is a shortcut to becoming the World's Greatest Swordsman."
From then on, Kuina and Lan Luo often practiced Kendo and Rokushiki together. The green-haired boy also frequently came to challenge them, but Lan Luo would block him with a single sentence: "If you want to challenge me, you have to defeat Kuina first."
Thanks to the nutritional supplements from Attack Cuisine and his physique in the One Piece World, two years later, while dealing with Fishman pirates invading Cocoyasi Village, Lan Luo awakened the ability to hear the voice of all things. Two years after that, he smoothly advanced to the Swordsman realm.
Genzo watched all of this from a distance, smiling unconsciously. An 11-year-old Swordsman, truly an enviable talent. And he also knew that this boy had awakened Observation Haki and Haoshoku, and it probably wouldn't be long before he awakened Armament Haki.
In the same year, Lan Luo requested Genzo to teach him swordsmithing. Genzo did not object to this; after all, in Genzo's eyes, there was no more satisfying son-in-law than this. Passing on his family's swordsmithing tradition to Lan Luo was also a good idea, so he took Lan Luo to meet his father, Shimotsuki Kōzaburō.
After two more years of study, Lan Luo had a general understanding of swordsmithing and sword materials in the One Piece World. Many principles were interconnected. The most crucial part was the unique properties of swords, which were full of serendipity. This was the most difficult aspect of swordsmithing, such as the Tianyu that absorbs Haki, the sandai kitetsu that absorbs demonic energy, and the cursed holy sword. These were all full of randomness.
It was in this year that Pirate Lan Luo opened the shared space. Initially, there was no one, but today he finally met Hokage Lan Luo. Through sharing with Lan Luo, he clarified swordsmithing and, by summarizing Lan Luo's genjutsu, recalled the essence of swordsmithing.
At the same time, he awakened Armament Haki, and his Observation Haki's ability to hear the voice of all things, and his Haoshoku also advanced a stage, allowing him to control it freely.
Hokage Lan Luo also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. His left eye, "Amenominaka," primarily for analysis, could analyze anything. His right eye, "Takami Musubi no Kami," primarily for creation, could create anything through analysis. Materials could be created, ninjutsu could be learned through analysis. Could genes also be further advanced through analysis?
"I can go to Asuka Island and take that 'cursed holy sword' as a base, and see if the genjutsu I've summarized can recreate a Kyōka Suigetsu in the One Piece World," Hokage Lan Luo said happily. He couldn't help but be happy; the dark clouds that had been hanging over his head had finally dispersed. He just said one thing: "I don't eat beef."
"Calm down, calm down. I know you're very impulsive right now, but there are many powerful figures: Black Zetsu, the Six Paths Sage, Isshiki, the Ōtsutsuki on the moon, and future Ōtsutsuki who might arrive at who knows when," Pirate Lan Luo said.
