Between Two Worlds: Nen and Haki

These were the ocular techniques possessed by the God's Eye.

The so-called Six Great Visions were: Insight Vision, X-ray Vision, Telescopic Vision, Future Vision, Mind Vision, and Universal Vision.

Insight Vision: Possessing extraordinary insight and perception.

X-ray Vision: Possessing visual clarity that can see through all things.

Telescopic Vision: Possessing an ultra-long visual range with a radius of 5,000 kilometers centered on oneself.

Future Vision: The ability to see scenes that will occur ten seconds into the future.

Mind Vision: The ability to read the thoughts and ideas of others, and even their memories.

Universal Vision: The ability to perceive the essence of all things in heaven and earth.

During the day...

Whether he was facing that assassin or watching the Zoldyck assassination arts demonstrated by Killua...

Zane seemingly hadn't opened his God's Eye, but in reality, he had already activated Insight Vision and X-ray Vision to observe them.

The extraordinary perception of the former not only allowed him to easily grasp the techniques of both individuals but also enabled him to copy them on the spot.

Indeed.

Among the Six Great Visions...

The perception of Insight Vision was in no way inferior to the Sharingan from another world.

It could see through an enemy's movements and allow for rapid understanding and learning.

This was why he had specifically asked Killua to demonstrate the Zoldyck assassination arts.

His purpose, of course, was not to tease Killua, but to learn.

The same was true for X-ray Vision.

As a whole, the God's Eye had a unique structure; when closed, it could effectively isolate the ocular power, preventing unnecessary consumption of physical and mental energy.

Relying on X-ray Vision to complement Insight Vision without actually opening his eye...

This seemingly redundant behavior was actually a method of application Zane had devised.

Activating X-ray Vision while his eye was closed would certainly weaken the ocular power, but it minimized the drain on his stamina and spirit to the greatest extent.

When facing ordinary opponents or situations, there was naturally no need to fully activate the God's Eye.

Well... this 'ordinary' category also included his fight with Hisoka.

Then there was Future Vision.

He had also used this ocular technique just moments ago when removing the needle from Killua.

That brief gaze before extracting the needle was actually him predicting the next ten seconds of the process.

Through this, he further confirmed that his actions would not cause any harm to Killua.

Zane was quite proud of his development of the God's Eye.

The third eye had once been a calamity that brought danger, but now, it was worthy of being called the eye of a god.

What did such a complete reversal prove?

It proved just how incredible he was, of course.

He couldn't wait to return to the One Piece world and let those people who were always staring at the Three-Eye Tribe feel exactly what the prestige of a Three-Eye truly felt like.

The night passed in silence.

Having rested well for the night, Zane had just gotten out of bed when his phone began to ring.

Picking up the phone and seeing the caller ID, Zane was a bit surprised.

"Hello? Teacher, is there something you need?"

After picking up the phone, Zane greeted her with a smile.

Indeed, the call was from Menchi.

"Zane, I need your help with something over here," Menchi said, getting straight to the point about why she was calling.

"Oh? What is it? Tell me the details," Zane said seriously.

Since Menchi was asking for help, given their relationship, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"It's like this..." Menchi quickly began her explanation.

As a Gourmet Hunter...

The help Menchi wanted was clearly related to cooking.

Simply put, Menchi had her eye on a certain ingredient, but the difficulty of capturing it was very high. She wasn't confident in doing it alone, so she thought of her prized disciple.

Zane, of course, agreed without the slightest hesitation.

After ending the call, he immediately headed to the airship terminal to travel to the location Menchi had provided.

One week later.

The coastline of the Azian Continent.

"Zane!!!"

Just as Zane stepped out of the airship terminal, a familiar voice echoed from nearby.

Looking toward the sound, he saw Menchi dressed in denim shorts and a midriff-baring short-sleeved top. She was waving enthusiastically, a bright smile on her face as she trotted toward him.

"Teacher!"

Zane waved back with a smile and stepped forward to meet her.

"Teacher, you've changed your hairstyle. I almost didn't recognize you," Zane teased after they met, noting the change in her appearance.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Menchi shook her head, causing her ponytail to swing back and forth.

"It looks great!" Zane nodded with a grin.

Compared to her previous eccentric starfish-like hairstyle, the current ponytail was simple, but to his eyes, it was much more pleasing to look at.

"Of course it does! With a face like mine, I can pull off any hairstyle," Menchi boasted, pointing to her own face.

And she wasn't lying.

Zane acknowledged her level of beauty.

Otherwise, with that original starfish hairstyle, a normal person really wouldn't have been able to pull it off.

They chatted back and forth.

Having been apart for quite some time, the two didn't feel any sense of estrangement.

Soon, under Menchi's lead, Zane climbed into a sports car she had rented.

With the roar of the engine, Menchi let out a boisterous cheer and sped off, carrying Zane away.

"Alright, you'll be staying with me in the suite for the next few days. It's the perfect time for me to explain the situation to you properly."

Inside a luxury hotel, Menchi took the lead and brought Zane into a high-floor suite.

She closed the door.

After a brief introduction, Menchi casually grabbed some wine from the cabinet and motioned for Zane to sit on the sofa.

She poured a glass for both herself and Zane.

Menchi raised her glass and took a bold, hearty gulp.

"What kind of ingredient did you set your sights on to go through all this trouble, Teacher?" Zane took a sip of his wine and asked.

Both asking for his help and needing a detailed explanation proved that the ingredient she was targeting was far from ordinary.

"Stop calling me 'Teacher' all the time; it makes me feel old," Menchi said, wrinkling her nose and speaking with a hint of coquettishness.

While respecting one's teacher was a good thing...

But she wasn't exactly an old lady.

As a beautiful woman in the prime of her life, hearing the word 'Teacher' was fun occasionally, but it got a bit tiring after a while.

"Fine, then I'll just call you Menchi!" Zane looked at her, amused.

It was just a name; he wasn't a rigid person, so he didn't care much.

"Mhm, that sounds much better," Menchi nodded with satisfaction.

Settling down, she began to study Zane closely.

Hmm...

He looked quite a bit stronger than when they had parted, and he seemed to have grown taller. There was also an inexplicable sense of majesty and authority in his brow.

"Wait? Why aren't you wearing your forehead protector? And what's that on your forehead? It doesn't look like a tattoo or a scar!"

As she observed him, Menchi suddenly realized that the forehead protector Zane usually wore—which almost seemed part of his head—was gone.

Upon seeing the golden dragon pattern on his exposed forehead, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Having dealt with Killua's reaction, Zane wasn't surprised by Menchi's curiosity.

"I didn't have enough strength before, so I had to use the protector to hide it," he said, pointing to his forehead with a smile.

While speaking, he slowly opened his third eye.

The vertical eye, shimmering with a golden luster, met Menchi's gaze. Her mouth hung slightly open in a silent gasp, her face filled with utter astonishment.
