Lumine had a bit of time before raiding the Tenshukaku along with the Resistance, she decided to take a walk around the island to calm her nerves, while she walked she heard beats from a nearby cave, curiosity got to her and went inside.
"I am pleased to see that you have recovered, Nika. However, your Haki has caused significant injuries to the people of Liyue and the rest of Teyvat."
Zhongli said as he and Nika are walking towards the Harbor.
"Hahahaha! Sorry about that! you know how that form is."
"Yes, I asked for help from Cloud Retainer and the rest of the Adepti, in case of you rampaging for a fight."
"Come on, Morax. I'm not you."
"I would rather you not bring that up, and please call me Zhongli, I am no longer the Geo Archon."
"Then please call me, Luffy!"
"Very well, Luffy. Are you planning on going to Watatsumi Island first or Narukami?"
"Hmmm... I haven't decided... but probably Narukami since I wish to see what has happened to it and if anything had change."
"I see... Well then, I'll be leaving here as I have to return to work, and Thousand Sunny is on the docks."
"Got it! Thanks Morax! I'll try to visit from time to time!"
"Then I shall await your return."
Luffy waved goodbye as he continued his way to the docks, he met a few individuals. Chongyun, Keqing, Hu Tao, Yelan and Ningguang. he greeted them and went on his way, however Ningguang and Yelan were curious of the unfamiliar man that arrived on Liyue so they followed him. They saw him board the ship that Rex Lapis brought and guarded for hundreds of years.

"Excuse me! You are not allowed to board that ship!"
Ningguang announced as Luffy turned around.
"Why?"
"Because that ship is brought here by Rex Lapis. It is a national treasure!"
"National Treasure? I mean, Franky did a great job maintaining this as I can see it is still in it's prime... but a pirate ship being a national treasure? Morax, just probably didn't want to take care of this so he threw the responsibility to you humans... Anyways, Thanks for maintaining it!"
Luffy said as he board the ship. Ningguang enraged stomped her way to the ship as Yelan followed suit but Ganyu arrived and stopped her.
"Lady Ningguang! May I ask you to leave the Ship alone?"
Ganyu asked politely.
"But, someone is in there!"
"Yes, Rex Lapis kept this Ship so that the owner of the ship can use it again when he returned, and as you can see, he has."
"You meant to say to me, I wasted Millions of Mora to keep this ship maintained just so some guy in a straw hat can take it!?"
"Yes..."
With Luffy
Luffy looked around the ship remembering the journey he and his crew took to the end of the world.
"Man, I miss those days..."
He reached the helm of Sunny and touched it.
"Let's see where the sea will take us after Inazuma..."
He pulled the rope that held the sails as he smiles.
"Let's! Set sail!"
The sails fell as Sunny began moving. Zhongli and Xianyun are looking at Sunny as it began to sail.
"It seems that he had already began his journey."
Xianyun said as Zhongli nods.
"Indeed, Nika is not the one to stay in a place for too long."
"Why didn't you told him about traveler?"
"He and the traveler will meet in Inazuma, I see no reason to tell him."
"I see, very well if you think there is no need One will not question it. One must leave now, I have some things to buy."
Xianyun said as she left leaving Zhongli alone as he looked at the horizon.
"With your awakening, Celestia will not be happy, but, I need not to worry as you had face all they could send and won in the end."
