A few months later...

A small boat sailed across a certain sea in the East Blue. Ian lounged leisurely on a soft chaise, basking in the sunlight.

Beside him, Tashigi sat, preparing fruits and pastries for him. She seemed different from before; although her appearance hadn't changed, her aura and charm had increased significantly.

Ian had shared his soul's power with her, but during the process, he encountered a rule-like obstruction that prevented Tashigi's soul from transforming from an ordinary person into a Hollow, after all, she was still alive.

Fortunately, it still strengthened her soul power. For someone possessing the Clear-Clear Fruit, the enhancement of her soul also improved her abilities in multiple ways. Now, even a Marine Admiral would have to devote significant attention to defend against her powers.

Moreover, the strengthening of her soul power directly enhanced her Clear-Clear Fruit abilities. With her soul becoming stronger, Tashigi could better utilize the fruit's powers. Besides her Devil Fruit abilities, her Observation and Busoshoku Haki had also noticeably improved.

Her physical strength and other attributes had all been enhanced. After all, Ian's powers inherently included High-Speed Regeneration and Hierro. Though she didn't permanently possess these abilities, she had become much stronger than before.

Now, even among Vice Admirals, she stood at the top. She could contend with the likes of Marco the Phoenix and Bartholomew Kuma. Even when facing a Marine Admiral, she could handle herself with ease and retreat safely if needed.

This level of strength was comparable to figures like Doflamingo of the Seven Warlords, Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates, and King of the Beasts Pirates.

For this world, it was a massive shock. Creating a powerhouse like Doflamingo with ease, This News would cause tremendous upheaval across the seas.

But Ian didn't care much. He believed that no one would target him, except perhaps the World Government, those rulers blinded by greed.

"Ian, are you really okay?" Tashigi asked, a question she posed almost every few days. She showed no joy over her enhanced strength but looked at Ian with deep concern. After all, even someone as strong as him had shown a rare change in expression when sharing his soul.

"I'm fine. I've already recovered," Ian smiled at her, indicating that he was okay. Excessive soul consumption wasn't a concern for him, thanks to his ability to absorb souls and replenish his spiritual power. To enhance Tashigi's strength, he had sacrificed 2% of his fusion rate, not fatigue, but a bit of heartache. So they embarked on a leisurely journey.

From the New World to the East Blue, they spent several months, even Luffy had been at sea for quite a while by now.

Guilt filled Tashigi's face. She felt that if she hadn't been so weak, Ian wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths. She was acutely aware of the improvements in her own strength.

Seeing her worried gaze, Ian said, "Even if it did affect me, it's worth it for you. After all, you've become a pirate with me!"

"Let me rest for a bit."

Just as he was about to close his eyes... He felt as if his vision had detached from his body, seeing things he couldn't see before. Tashigi noticed something and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Without a sound or any visible change, Ian's gaze became sharp. Staring at the distant sea, he suddenly said, "In a moment, three small fish will jump out of the water."
