Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

"Pikachu and Demon Slayer?"

Hokage He Nian shook off one of the pirates and looked at the pirate He Nian, asking, "Still a grunt?"

"That's right."

Aside from Hokage He Nian, the three people and their Pokémon answered in unison.

Naruto He Nian lay down silently. He Nian, who was alone, and He Nian, who was also a pirate, did not tolerate it. He stepped forward and poured the memories of Pikachu and the grunts of Demon Slayer into their minds.

First up is Pikachu, the yellow-skinned mouse. After being reborn through a major event, it arrived in the Pokémon world and became a wild Pikachu, as numerous as stray dogs on the roadside.

Fortunately, due to its poor stats, it did not become a Poké Ball resident.

He Nian was originally just the son of a small landowner, and should have lived a carefree life until he unfortunately encountered Muzan, whose family was destroyed and he was transformed into a demon.

Furthermore, because Muzan performed the transformation with mockery and ridicule, He Nian's strength after the transformation was not great; he could only be considered one of the lowest levels.

"Ugh, why is it always like this?!"

He Nian, the Hokage, screamed in agony as these memories were brutally forced into his mind.

Pikachu and Oni-Nen rushed forward and hugged Hokage He Nian's legs, shouting in unison, "Please carry us, big boss!"

Without a doubt, the one whose strength has increased the most and most obviously in the current Black Mist Space is Hokage He Nian.

With the arrival of Pikachu Nen, it is clearly foreseeable that he will awaken a powerful Lightning Release, possessing the Sage Body, the Bloodline Limit of Water Release, and the powerful Yang Release.

Furthermore, by combining the cultivation gains of He Nian the pirate and He Nian the one during this period, the Immortal Body can be enhanced once again.

Hokage He Nian was speechless and powerless to push away the person and Pokémon clinging to his leg.

Unexpectedly, at only eight years old, he became a key figure in the Black Mist Space.

After a period of playful banter, all five He Nian members completed the exchange of memories and powers, and their individual strengths improved.

However, how much of it will actually come to fruition depends on how well each world accepts different power systems.

"Wait, something's not right!"

While everyone was chatting, Hokage He Nian, who was focusing on examining the memories transmitted by He Nian, noticed something amiss. "Hey, what's wrong with your arrangement?"

From the vast amount of Taoist scriptures and cultivation knowledge transmitted by He Nian, the Hokage discovered the truth behind He Nian's laziness and lack of work.

It can be said that besides collecting useful Taoist scriptures for his counterparts in other worlds, all He Nian does is slack off.

He raised cats and dogs, fished, walked birds, and occasionally sneaked down the mountain to go to the internet cafe in town. He lived a very leisurely life.

Of course, He Nian has never forgotten his daily practice of circulating Qi.

However, due to the nature of the cultivation system in the One-Man World, refining Qi is something that cannot be rushed. Therefore, He Nian's progress during this period has been minimal, and the amount that can be shared is also very small.

This angered Hokage He Nian. "It's one thing to have the least amount of shared power, but how come you're the one living the most comfortable life among us?!"

"What do you know? Taoism emphasizes tranquility and non-action, going with the flow. My cultivation method is the most authentic. My master even praised my good mindset."

He Nian, completely unconcerned about the accusations leveled against him by Hokage He Nian, offered a boastful explanation.

After all, he has already escaped the vortex of his solitary world, so why bother getting involved in those ridiculous Eight Extraordinary Techniques? Wouldn't it be better to rely on his other self in other worlds to hone his life skills to the highest level?

So, He Nian made the choice to become a salted fish, following his heart.

"Relax, just let things take their course. Take it slow. Whether it's the Eight Extraordinary Techniques or other major sect techniques, they will all come in the future."

He Nian waved his hand and chuckled.

Naruto He Nian was speechless for a moment. "Take it slow?" He Nian thought. Once he got his hands on those things, maybe a powerful figure from another world could carry him to new heights.

"Forget it, there's no point in arguing with someone from a low-level martial arts world like you."

Hokage He Nian let out a long breath and turned to look at Pirate He Nian.

As for Pika Nian and Gui Nian, they very consciously mingled with He Nian.

One of them also belonged to the low-level martial arts world, while the other, due to the children's worldview and the lack of any life-threatening danger, consciously joined the ranks of those who sought to curry favor with powerful figures.

Hokage He Nian looked at Pirate He Nian and asked solemnly, "You said you discovered something new? What is it? You won't even mention the transmitted memories."

He Nian, the pirate, smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, it concerns the secrets between the power of space sharing and the rules of the world."

The moment the pirate He Nian uttered these words, it immediately attracted the attention of the three salted fish on the other side.

"First of all, we all know that the power shared through space cannot be fully manifested in our own worlds."

Initially, we could only obtain the portion common to several worlds. Although we could later transform the hidden portion through active cultivation, the transformation was ultimately incomplete.

Without keeping anyone in suspense, He Nian, the pirate, quickly recounted all his experiences and insights in the pirate world.

"To make the world believe...to make important people believe?" He Nian murmured to himself, silently pondering what the pirate He Nian had said.

"That's right, this 'belief' is like a world certification. Once the world acknowledges it, our full power can be unleashed," Pirate He Nian added.

"No wonder, after doing experiments with Orochimaru, the chances of my ideas and concepts succeeding have increased significantly."

Hokage He Nian recalled his time with Orochimaru and realized that there were indeed many points that matched what Pirate He Nian had said.

"This question needs to be verified, after all, we need to consider whether it is due to the special nature of the One Piece world."

After pondering for a while, He Nian also raised his own questions.

Pika Nian and Gui Nian also fell into deep thought, pondering the important figures in their respective worlds.

"That's true." Pirate He Nian nodded as well. After all, they currently have too little understanding of the Black Mist Space and the laws of their respective worlds, so it would be inappropriate to make a hasty decision.

They had not even fully figured out the summoning patterns of the Black Mist Space.

All they know is that in the current Black Mist Space, people from different worlds only connect when a newcomer appears. Even when they enter the Black Mist Space on ordinary days, they are alone in the space.

"Oh, right, I need you to look up some more information this time." Pirate He Nian's mind stirred as he recalled the rituals he performed in the pirate world and the collective wishes he collected from all living beings.

"If you're just looking up information, just say so," He Nian said confidently, patting his chest.

"Regarding incense and deities, I need you to help me collect some information. Of course, if you have any information on summoning spirits, you can also get it while you're at it."

The origins of Devil Fruits in the world of One Piece reminded He Nian of the special system of incense and shrines, which are also highly related to the wishes and desires of all living beings.

Although the mainstream cultivation system in the One-Man World is not based on incense offerings, the abundance of Taoist scriptures and classic texts in the One-Man World still provides many points of reference.

Furthermore, the "Spirit Binding and General Command" technique among the Eight Extraordinary Skills is also related to incense and deities.

In the manga, He Nian, a pirate, recalled that the "Spirit Binding and Commanding" technique had a strong restraining effect on spirits who were household spirits.

"Incense and deities? No problem. My master has a lot of books on this subject. I'll go back and look through them, write them down, and then pass them on to you."

However, summoning spirits and commanding generals is up to fate; you should be mentally prepared.
