After taking a big gulp, Is threw the flask at Whitebeard, who didn't hesitate and drank it down in one gulp.
"gone!!"
Whitebeard pulled the naginata from the ground, spun it a few times, then hung it on his back before turning and walking away.
"When we meet again, a pot of wine won't be enough to settle things," Is advised.
"Gurgle, gurgle... The vast ocean, it's uncertain whether there will be a next time."
Whitebeard didn't linger long; he came suddenly and left just as suddenly, disappearing from Is's sight in no time.
"Pfft!"
Is spat out a mouthful of blood.
Have the side effects started?
Is quickly opened his attribute panel again.

"The advanced physical skills proficiency has increased to 70%, so it seems this battle will be advantageous for us," Is said with a wry smile.
Although Whitebeard's appearance disrupted his plans, his mindset remained unchanged; he still intended to use those two character cards here.
"Use a character card!"
"Ding, are you sure you want to use it?"
"Sure!"
"Ding, please select the number of sheets to use."
"all!"
Is didn't hesitate much and answered directly.
"Ding, character card successfully consumed."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Yoriichi Tsugikuni from Demon Slayer."
"Ding, character card successfully consumed."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the character Retsu Unohana from 'Bleach'."
Upon hearing this, Is was slightly taken aback: "Yoriichi Tsugikuni? Retsu Unohana???"
I missed an update yesterday, mainly because I had writer's block. I wrote a slightly ambiguous scene in chapter 57 and got banned from revising it five times, which caused a delay. I'm really sorry about that. I'll try my best to make up for it in the future.
Chapter 68
Yoriichi Tsugikuni is a very powerful figure; he is the strongest fighter in the Demon Slayer world.
The villainous boss in the series was once driven to the brink of despair by him, and even suffered a great deal of trauma. Even after Yoriichi Tsugikuni died, the villainous boss trembled with fear when he saw the Yoriichi Tsugikuni earring worn by the protagonist in the original series many years later.
It's easy to imagine just how powerful Yoriichi Tsugikuni is in his own world.
As for Retsu Unohana, she is no less impressive. In the original manga/anime series *Bleach*, her original name was Yachiru Unohana, and she was the first Shinigami to hold the title "Kenpachi." She was also the founder of the 11th Division and its core principles.
Before joining the Gotei 13, Retsu Unohana was known as the greatest villain in the history of Soul Society.
However, after becoming the captain, Retsu Unohana has a gentle and calm personality. She is always calm and composed, a talented woman with both beauty and brains, who can bring a sense of security to her subordinates.
Always able to make accurate judgments, this talented woman remained calm and composed even when the invasion of the traveler caused great chaos, and stood at the forefront to command.

At the same time, a white light particle suddenly appeared in front of Is, and this time the light particle was obviously much larger than the one summoned before.
Soon, the light particles split into two clusters and then merged together, slowly forming a human shape.
The next second, a woman appeared in Is's field of vision. She had a gentle and peaceful appearance, long black hair parted in the middle, and wore a white robe.
Because in the original work, she has a scar below her collarbone from a battle with Kenpachi Zaraki when he was young, she braids her hair and lets it hang down in front.
As soon as she appeared, another cluster of white light particles gradually took shape.
Following closely behind in Is's field of vision was a tall man with a high ponytail, long black hair tinged with red, wearing sun-shaped paper earrings, and a deep red flame mark on his left forehead.
The woman's name was Retsu Unohana, and the man's name was Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni touched the long sword hanging at his waist, his face filled with disbelief: "I never imagined that I would be resurrected in this way."
"Yes, it's really unbelievable," Retsu Unohana said with a slight smile, her eyes narrowed.
Undoubtedly, even the strongest would find it incredible to arrive in another world.
Their gazes fell simultaneously on Is, then they paused slightly, glancing around at the dilapidated surroundings.
"Is this... caused by summoning us?" Retsu Unohana spoke first, asking Is.
Is sat on a broken branch that had fallen to the side and was now only half intact, and slowly explained, "No, it's just that before I summoned you, there was a little problem. There was a troublesome guy... But now that guy is gone."
“It seems you should have summoned us in advance, so that we could lend you a hand,” Yoriichi Tsugikuni said softly.
"That's not necessarily true!!"
Is smiled, the reason for which only he knew.
Yes, even a difference of just one second can change the summoned character. If Is summoned the moment it was obtained, the summoned character might not be Yoriichi Tsugikuni or Retsu Unohana, but one of the other two.
However, whether he missed out on stronger characters or avoided useless ones, Is didn't care, because he believed that those he summoned, whether strong or weak, were all his partners.
"No matter what, it's good that Is is alright. Although we couldn't help this time, we will definitely do our best to help next time," Unohana Retsu said gently.
"makes sense."
Yoriichi Tsugikuni nodded in agreement, then continued, "From different worlds... just her and me?"
Is shook his head and explained, "Of course not. There are three others who arrived much earlier than you. You... are the fourth and fifth."
"Hahaha, that's exactly what I expected. Even if we're the first and the second, there will be a third and a fourth in the future. Am I right, Is?"
Is nodded slightly: "Yes."
As he spoke, Is stood up and dusted off his backside.
"Let's go, talk as we go."
"Where to?" Unohana Retsu asked.
"We'll meet up with the others in the capital, figure out a time, and then return to where we belong," Is explained.
····
"it is good!"
Holy Land Marie Gioia.
Inside the bright hall, the Five Elders were enjoying afternoon tea.
"Is there anything unusual coming back from Isna's side?" the bald old man asked first.
"You really think he's some kind of reincarnation of bad luck? Every time he goes out, he encounters danger. Maybe right now he's having a good time in another country," the old man with the knife scoffed.
Clearly, at this moment, the Five Elders were even more worried about his safety than Is himself.
The main reason is that among the Celestial Dragons, there has emerged a man who can lead the charge.
In the past, after they finished their official business, they would always do other unimportant things.
After they learned about Is, they would always spend some time getting together after finishing their official business, sometimes helping Is plan for the future.
Of course, the current challenge is to persuade Is to join the Celestial Dragons' power structure; otherwise, all their plans will just be empty promises.
"Let's have a good talk with that kid Is when he gets back," the long-haired old man said, changing the subject.
“Instead of telling Is first, I have a better way.”
As soon as the bald old man finished speaking, the eyes of the other four old men turned to him.
"A better way???"
“Tell me your thoughts. If it’s helpful, we’ll definitely agree to this approach.”
"Yes, there are ways to deal with difficult situations. As long as it's not about forcing him, I think we can use any of them."
“Of course it’s not about forcing him!” the bald old man said, starting to walk around as he continued, “Instead of trying to persuade Is first, we should talk to the people around him first.”
Upon hearing this, the other four elders suddenly realized what was going on.
"You mean Is? Those...bodyguards he found from the outside???"

Chapter 69
"correct!!!"
The bald old man nodded: "If we visit him too often, that kid Is will definitely get annoyed, and once he gets annoyed, he will obviously become more and more resistant to us."
"But what if we bribe Is's bodyguard to explain the uses of power to us and gradually erode Is's absolute power? Then this will work."
The other four elderly men did not react excessively upon hearing this.
“It sounds simple to you, but it’s difficult to actually do it. First of all, how can you be sure we can bribe his bodyguards?” one of the elders questioned.
Hahahaha...
The bald old man laughed loudly, then explained, "That's easy. Forget bribing him, we can even seize it! There's only one reason: we can give him what Is can't! Like... power!!"
Upon hearing this, the other four elderly men remained expressionless.
"What if... those bodyguards aren't interested in power?"
