Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Using the visions conjured in one's mind as its bones, the shared power of the black mist space as its flesh and blood, and the special innate domineering aura awakened by oneself as its spirit, it condenses into a phantom power source similar to a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

Ultimately, based on the theoretical foundation of the Lambo Sphere and He Nian's accumulated experience in the unity of body and soul during this period, this "Golden Dragon Sky Patrol Technique" was created.

As He Nian's divine skill reached its peak, his spiritual will and Conqueror's Haki condensed into a golden dragon that soared into the sky.

All the animals and humans on Drum Island sensed a powerful, unseen pressure.

Wild animals that were closer to He Nian's residence were so frightened that they fell to the ground and adopted a posture of submission, just like those in their respective groups.

Chopper and Kureha, who were closest to He Nian, were naturally not spared either.

However, the two of them were neither ordinary people nor animals; they were simply awakened by He Nian's sudden burst of energy and lost their chance to sleep in.

After all, He Nian himself was controlling the range of the Conqueror's Haki burst, so the only animals actually affected by this aura were the wild animals around his residence.

Chopper was startled awake, but after glancing at the sky, he lay back down. Kureha, however, immediately got up and saw He Nian being bathed in a ray of golden sunlight in the snow.

"That's... amazing..."

Kureha muttered to herself, her resolve wavering slightly as she reconsidered her earlier decision.

However, in an instant, she dismissed the thought that had just begun to rise in her mind.

Meanwhile, He Nian, who was in a state of high physical and mental coordination, once again felt the fluctuations of the rules of the One Piece world.

He turned his head following his senses and saw Kureha looking at him through the window.

After a moment's thought, he guessed what had happened.

Previously, as his own strength improved and Chopper and Kureha gained more recognition of him, he could vaguely sense that the rules of the pirate world were slowly yielding to him.

As a result, he has been quite lucky in some things lately.

For example, he easily found Chopper after landing on Drum Island, and even though he continued to cause trouble on Drum Island, Wapol never bothered him.

But now, his strength has improved again, and by a great margin. He has even successfully manifested a power that does not belong to this world.

As a result, the rules of the pirate world seemed to have changed.

He Nian could sense that after he manifested a portion of the power of the Black Mist Space, the pirate world had already developed a slight hostility towards him.

This means that his journey from here on out will not be very smooth.

"Then let's give it a try."

After He Nian deduced this, he felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was eager to try.

He said he would overthrow the world, and he was going to overthrow the world!

Thinking of this, he turned around and greeted Kureha, and then, taking advantage of his good physical and mental state, he continued to practice the "Golden Dragon Sky Patrol Technique".

After completing a full set of body-tempering exercises, He Nian felt refreshed and invigorated. Even though he hadn't slept all night and hadn't practiced "Canghai Yingtian," his mental strength had significantly increased.

If his spiritual strength previously leaned more towards a quiet, all-encompassing sense of the vast ocean...

The spiritual power now possesses an unparalleled pressure forged from thunder and flames, as well as an arrogant and domineering aura that looks down on everything.

Powerful, more powerful than ever before.

He Nian could accurately sense that the power shared by Pikachu and Agumon had been completely integrated into his current power system, resulting in a further enhancement of both his physique and spirit.

Even his innate domineering aura is now faintly filled with a violent sense of power, like thunder and flames.

He had a gut feeling that he could now fully utilize his innate domineering aura to unleash his abilities in fire and lightning.

However, this power has not yet been fully recognized by the pirate world, so he needs an object to be "certified".

Or rather, an "outer shell" that has already been recognized by the One Piece world.

With a thought, He Nian remembered the talisman that had already shown some extraordinary qualities when he provided free medical treatment to the people of Cigu Island.

Then the next targets are obvious: thunder talismans and fire talismans.

How could a dignified demon-slaying Taoist not possess powerful exorcism talismans?

The morning's disturbances quickly subsided, and Drum Island returned to its usual state. Even Chopper and Kureha's attitude towards He Nian remained unchanged.

After the three of them had eaten together, He Nian was about to practice "The Vast Sea Reflects the Sky" to complete his daily routine.

Just then, a slightly unusual power of will drifted in from outside the window of his residence.

He Nian frowned slightly.

From this meager wish, he sensed intense fear and a strong desire for help.

Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out his right hand and grasped the power of the wish in his hand. At the same time, he focused his mind and quickly figured out the reason for this special power of the wish.

He knew the owner of the wish very well; it was the middle-aged man whose son had broken his leg, whom he had helped a few days earlier.

The reason is simple: Wapol personally led his personal guard to capture the poor hunter family, intending to force them to reveal He Nian's whereabouts.

"They arrived really quickly..."

He Nian looked up at the sky and murmured a sigh.

He immediately stood up, his entire body transforming into a blur as he sped toward the source of the willpower.

The wind howled, and the snow fell heavily.

The violent whooshing sound whipped up a large amount of snow, leaving a long trail that resembled a roaring dragon soaring towards the village.

At that moment, Vapol was in the village, smugly scolding the villagers for their excessive greed and their desire for medical resources that did not belong to them, which led to their disastrous consequences.

Suddenly, Wapol felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had been locked onto by a terrifying beast.

"Damn it! Stop playing tricks on me, come out here!!"

Wapol shouted suddenly, though his tone was very forceful, his face was already covered in cold sweat.

The surrounding guards were all completely bewildered.

They looked at Wapol with puzzled expressions, weapons in hand, awaiting his orders before making any response.

Even the hunter family of three, who had been taken hostage, now showed a hint of confusion and bewilderment on their faces, which had been filled with shock.

Drum King, what's wrong?

He noticed the questioning looks from the guards around him, especially the bewildered expressions on the faces of the family of three who were being held hostage.

Wapol suddenly realized that not only his intelligence, but also his status as king was looked down upon by these commoners.

Instantly, an even more intense rage surged from the depths of his heart.

"Damn it! As hostages, we should stay put and not look around!"

Wapol roared at the hunter family of three, revealing his gaping maw, and made as if he wanted to swallow them all in one gulp.

His anger subsided only after he saw the hunter's family crying out in terror.

"And you all, without my orders, you are not allowed to look around. Stay at your posts!"

After berating all the guards around him, Wapol felt much better, and only then did he have the mind to recall the sudden feeling of fear that had suddenly appeared earlier.

"What exactly is it...?"

"Yo!"

At that moment, a loud shout interrupted Vapol's hard-won concentration.

Wapol looked furiously toward the source of the sound and saw a strangely dressed, tall young man.

"I heard you want to challenge this humble Taoist priest to a duel?"

He Nian raised an eyebrow, stood on the roof of a house, and looked down at Wapol provocatively.
