Side Story 21: Empress of The Galaxy and Seas
At their now green and blue planets. The Hamn empire was already having an enormous advantage. That is, tons of resources and people.
"Ein, I foresaw the future... A lot of people will come." Taldeer blushed and saw some embarrassing things, but she also had visions that other Eldar craftworlds would be arriving pretty soon. And with their operatives sneaking off billions of humans away from hive worlds and other planets of the Imperium. They would have trouble if they didn't continue increasing their lands.
"Oh, then you should talk to Keqing here." Ein gave Yuheng the responsibility about infrastructures and maximizing the space of their planets.
"Taldeer-san, do not worry. Eula is already being escorted by regiments and they are taking rogue planets for terraforming." Keqing nodded in satisfaction.
Taldeer was about to ask when it would be completed, but they saw a multitude of planets that would be integrated into their star system for the budding empire.
"See? No need to worry, we have everything under control." Keqing puffed up her chest in pride and excused herself, as she would need to do some work again.
"Amazing, this empire is shaping up to be the most influential and strong one yet." Taldeer was excited to see her race rise up to power once more. Just like in the past. And now that they know their mistakes, they will grow from it as well.
"Umu, now that we have sufficient resources as well. It's time to create an army and strong arm others to the empire. I call it saving them from their suffering." Ein nodded sagely and Taldeer raised a brow.
"By making them submit? Because they won't believe what's happening here?" Taldeer thought that it was so simple. And that won't work for them, but with the Hamn empire's quickly growing population and seemingly infinite resources, that'd be a walk in the park.
They then saw multiple craftworlds arriving via the webway. Basically gates in another dimension that act like portal waypoints.
Ningguang stood with the other Eldar higher ups and the newly arrived ones have seen the amazing planets of the star system.
"Welcome, you must be the eldar from the craftworld of Biel-tan and Dolthe?" Ningguang greeted them and they were about to ask who was in charge. But everyone saw Taldeer and the others stand behind Ningguang. She also had perfect control on her body thanks to Ein. So Ningguang didn't act nor look like the human monkeighs.
"Ahh, yes. We extend our greetings to you, empress of Hamn." Eldrad, the hero of craftworld Biel-tan guided them to their star system with the other farseers' help. Especially because they can access their psychic powers without fear with Ein's blessing.
"Enough pleasantries, Taldeer. Please tell them the general overview of our nation. And just find Hu Tao for the Eldar that wants to get eternal rest." Ningguang excused herself and started her work or they'll pile up.
"Let us go, you must have received our message correct? The dark prince Slaanesh has no power over our souls here. Ein-sama gave us freedom." Taldeer smiled widely and the excited space elves willingly followed her.

Ein was currently taking an enthusiastic walk inside the warp. The verse's version of hell. And he was going into a certain chaos god's realm.
"Hmmm, this place is pretty rancid." Ein waved his hand in front of his nose as he saw a garden of putridness, decay, rot.
He is inside Nurgle's garden, as he wanted an anchor for the Eldar to be more loyal and turn them into zealots. Not that he needed to, but it would be easier for Ningguang as the space elves were a proud race that look at humans as monkeys.
"Oh, damn. So she's been getting fucked over like that for thousands of years here." Ein saw an elf woman that was in a cage. Being infected by horrifying diseases as she tried healing herself in an eternal loop.
"Who goes to my realm?" Nurgle noticed Ein and he stopped mixing his cauldron of diseases. "Me? I'm just an ordinary guy that has a dream." Ein shrugged and Nurgle knew that the man that arrived wasn't normal. (pic)
"Hmmm, how about I give my kids some fun." Ein called for his daughter with HIMEKO, Musubi. inspired from Ho-Musubi from Japan's god of fire.
"Hey dad, woah! What the hell is this place? It's so stinky!" Musubi immediately frowned and had a burning desire to raze everything to the ground. No pun intended.
"Musubi, how about you clean up things in here?" Ein patted her head and the red head girl was excited to burn everything.
"You got it, dad! Vasavi Shakti!" She took out a sword spear and Ein took away the elf god away from the realm.
"No! Stop!" Nurgle shouted out with his guttural voice. But Musubi was already finished in her preparations and pointed her weapon at the ground.
Nurgle had to escape the vicinity quickly and it was a wise decision. As he ran with his fat ass as quick as possible. His garden was bathed with light and an explosion rocked the warp. Creating shockwaves that made the immaterium tremble.
And when the light died down, Musubi sighed in satisfaction at her work. Leaving only sterile, molten ground at her wake. Blazing fires razing everything to the ground.
"Hmmm, I guess this is a job well done. Dad would probably give some ice cream for this, o-ooh. Especially that wasabi flavored one!" Musubi contacted Ein and she received a tub of green ice cream for her troubles.

"You're not a human, are you?" Isha, the eldar goddess of fertility, harvest, life, healing, and growth asked incredulously.
"Yup, but that doesn't matter. You've got work to do, you're my employee now." Ein chuckled and the goddess can't refute his words. As he painstakingly got her out of her prison. The least she could do is work.
He has found another person to give responsibility again, making him quite happy with this little excursion.
The two arrived at the main world in Hamn and he kicked down the door where executives were currently having a meeting.
"Yo! I have come bearing great gifts!" Ein gave a cheeky smile and Ningguang face palmed. She really admired Ein, but he does stupid things regularly.
"Tadah! Doesn't she look familiar?" Ein stepped aside and showed the eldar their last goddess that has survived their fall 10 millennia ago.
"G-goddess Isha!?" The older Eldar that witnessed the fall of their empire immediately kneeled and everyone soon followed. With tears in their eyes as their goddess gave a wry smile. Not expecting that she would appear in the material realm once again.
"And... How. Do you space elves would like. To have her farm?" Ein asked with sarcastic excitement. Making the eldar uncomfortable.
They stared at him with their mouths agape. "Ugh, okay then, let me explain. I thought you guys are old and wise by now." He clicked his tongue.
Ein then took out a hologram and showed them a comprehensive chart on how much resources they would need. Namely food and supplies with their quickly growing population.
"As you do not know, the production of agricultural worlds will sharply decrease when my help ceases, not everything should come to you anyways. So she, will help with food and no one would get hungry." Ein finished his presentation and they got nervous, thinking that he will leave them on their own.
"Don't be too nervous. I'll build you guys up to be the strongest empire first before I leave you on your own. And everybody that is loyal to the place won't have problems against Slaanesh or the warp. Isha here would also cultivate kids, she is the goddess of fertility after all. So you guys would have greater numbers. You'll be the elites of the empire." Ein explained more thoroughly and they nodded in agreement.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" A blonde human asked a question and she was a psyker. She also wore the uniform of someone unexpected, the inquisition. (pic)
"Lady, didn't Bob tell you that asking for names without introducing yourself is rude?" Ein raised a brow and was interested on how she got here in the first place.
The woman was confused, but she introduced herself nonetheless. "I am Lilith Abfequarn. I was actually in stasis at one of the craft worlds after I helped them close up a certain webway gate against daemons." Lilith did a short introduction. (pic)
"I see, you must be part of the inquisition then? Bob doesn't ring any bells? He's like 10 foot tall, have long black hair and sits on a golden toilet?" Ein described the emperor of mankind and Lilith was offended.
"Yeah, that's his name. Stupid guy, that one. But don't worry, he's just a victim of inconsistent writing." Ein shrugged and Lilith calmed herself down. Seeing the numerous alpha level psykers in the vicinity that could fold her like an aluminum can before she can say for the emperor.
"Anyways, Ningguang. I found you guys a pretty good helper, don't praise me though. No need for thanks." Ein gave a smug smile and went to the military exercises so he could check if they can fight.
Ningguang sighed heavily and looked at the two new additions in their ranks. "So, miss Lilith and Isha. Care to tell me what you know and what you can do?" Ningguang crossed her legs and smirked at them. As she could get tons of information from them, especially with Lilith. Because inquisitors are one of the highest officers in the Imperium of man.

Ein saw many humans, especially the skinny ones that have been having a hard time in hive worlds. Because of the lawless conditions there, they were malnourished and could keep over anytime.
They were all immediately repaired by their medical technology so they would lose all diseases and at least give them a decent body for training.
Those who do not know anything were relegated to the military and right now they are having basic PT. And after that, they will soak in the pools which regenerate them instantly both body and mind.
Then they do it all over again until they mutate and turn into self made superhumans. "Hmmm, maybe I should give them some Soulium power armor? Let's do it like how the forerunners did it. Master chief's Mjolnir would be for civilians. And basic soldier armor could at least survive space and nuclear warheads. Then the elites can basically run at anything and even resist atomic stripping." Ein nodded with satisfaction.
"Oh, I forgot. Mobius, Leila, and Ana created stims that turned normal people into supersoldiers. Oooh, I really want my soldiers to be all like deadshot and deathstroke." Ein imagined his army and almost had an orgasm.
"Heya Jean, Eula. How's the soldiers coming?" Ein went up to Jean and Eula who were training the basic soldiers. While Yelan, Rosaria, and Shenhe train the super elites who can do anything.
"It's going well. Too well in fact, are you training them to go to war? These people were so skinny and didn't know anything when they arrived here. Now, they can probably compete against any army in all the nations in our world..." Jean shivered and looked at the zealous people. They had that look in their eyes, people who do not have anything. And they want to prove the world they can do something.
"That's why we recruited from hive worlds. Look at them, they're very eager. We give them comfort, a safe and beautiful place. They become grateful immediately, they want to do anything to be useful. And we weed out those who are useless. Just make them farmers or something." Ein shrugged and smiled at their great progress.
"Ein, can I... You know? Have some of the soldiers for the Lawrence clan? They've changed, but we are still missing manpower." Eula shyly asked and thought it was unreasonable.
"Hmm, you may. Probably get a couple few hundred of them who wants to go to another place. Hold an audition and tournament, get the very best. People here are a dime a dozen." Ein patted her head and Eula smiled widely, but she quickly controllled herself and bowed.
"Thanks, I'll make the Lawrence clan great again." Eula balled her fist and would make Mondstadt great.
"Hah, I know you won't do anything weird with them Eula. But still, be careful. I can see them being ridiculous supersoldiers in Teyvat." Jean sighed and could only accept.
Ein then thought he could leave them alone for now and when he returns, they'll conquer a few planets to show the Imperium who's boss.

At the blue sea. One captain Beidou was currently sailing in a certain sea called the new world. She took in some air and sighed in satisfaction at the smell of journey. Feeling the dangerous sea that her instincts could feel.
"Hahaha! I can already feel it! I will be the queen of the seas! My blood is boiling!" Beidou cheered and started a party with her crew. It was particularly dangerous in this place, but with their destroyer. And Beidou's amazing talent in sailing, they didn't have to worry much unless it's a really mind boggling disaster.
They then saw a huge shadow under the water. It was approximately 3 kilometers long. "C-captain... I don't think I'm high, but isn't something following us from underneath?" Kazuha gulped a mouthful of saliva as he saw the shadow.
Beidou squinted her eyes and immediately went to action. "All hands on deck! Go launch our torpedos so we can see that little whippersnapper!" Beidou gave orders as she knew that a sea king would be a huge problem.
The trained crew immediately went to their stations and used their sonars to locate it accurately. Not that they needed to, as it was huge as hell.
They then fired torpedos at the sea king and it hit its head, creating a concussive blast underwater. The sea king never experienced something like it before and was stunned. As explosions are really effective underwater. Displacing its squishy brain inside of its skull.
"Aye captain! We see the bloody beast! It's the largest thing we've ever attempted to hunt before!" The crew laughed and had full trust in her.
"Kazuha! Give me a boost!" Beidou jumped up and Kazuha immediately used his vision so Beidou could go to the beast's head for a finishing blow.
The crew manned the machine guns that used HE rounds to irritate and agitate it more. Beidou then roared and swung her great sword at the head of the large beast.
"Take this! You'll be our dinner! You oversized sea snake!" Beidou smashed it on the center of its head and released lightning inside its brain. Frying it from the inside as the beast fell down slowly. Causing massive waves to get released.
"Whew, that was a good workout. This place is really awesome! We only set sail and there's already things like this attacking us!" Beidou stood atop the beast's head and waved at her crew, they then took out harpoons. Intending to cut up their catch on an island.
Beidou looked at the map and saw that they were near a place called warland Elbaf. A huge nation inhabited by giants. And her eyes immediately shone. "I know where we're going to go next! We'll have giants as crew members! Oh boy!" Beidou was like a child in a sugar rush.
The crew then started to party again as Ein gave them a dispenser of all kinds of booze. And in time, their ship would be called the paradise due to the abundance of the best alcohols and food in the world.
__
Ein arrived at the multiverse of madness and looked for Beidou. He transported them to the new world as Beidou could be comparable to rear admirals in strength without her vision. And that was before she was blessed by his natural passives due to her feelings and loyalty.
"Umu, the elemental nations is fine for now." He then whistled and an reddish orange portal opened up in the sky. A green dragon with antler-like horns appeared. (pic)
"Ein-sama! You have returned! Well, with your powers. It was only a couple of days at most for me. But I have missed you dearly already!" The dragon transformed and looked like a cosplaying maid. (pic)
She was envious of Rita and was determined to be the very best maid. But of course, that was impossible.
"Tohru, how are you? I've missed you too, I wanted to ride you to a certain location. You'd like that wouldn't you?" He patted her head and the dragon purred.
She was a dragon that could cause the cataclysm. But they respected strength. So she could only follow him, though she was happy that he could show her the finer things in life. Things that a dragon like her does not know.
"Yes! Ein-sama!" She immediately transformed to her dragon form and they travelled through the new world with blinding speed. Bella then sneezed and felt a foreboding. As she felt that her noble duty as Ein's steed was under attack.
The two of them quickly arrived at Elbaf and they waited for Beidou to come. They then saw the destroyer on the horizon.
"Eiiiin! This world is the best!" Beidou leaped from her ship and hugged him tightly. She then pointed at the sea king that was behind their ship.
"Look, we hunted down some meat! I bet it would taste great!" Beidou gave a grin and drooled at the thought that he would give them great food.
Tohru squinted her eyes at Beidou and she gritted her teeth. 'Tch, another woman of master. So enviable! I mean, inappropriate... I want to destroy a country right now.' Tohru had dangerous thoughts as her eyes turned to slits and her teeth turned into small daggers.
"Ahh, I'll introduce you Beidou. This is my maid, Tohru, well she is more like my mount for now. As she is in training." Ein introduced them both and they looked at each other with squinted eyes. Beidou saw Tohru's beautiful face and large milkers.
"Hello, Beidou-san... I am Tohru, Ein-sama's loyal maid." Tohru's eyebrows twitched and she could not accept that Beidou was weaker than her, but she could gain the affection of Ein.
"Hoh? I am captain Beidou, nice to meet you Tohru. I am one of Ein's lovers~" Beidou hit her where it hurt and Tohru was leaking intense bloodlust. Kazuha that was nearby was about to ask Beidou about their catch, but he got caught up in Tohru's killing intent. Making him piss his pants. As the dragon could raze Teyvat to the ground. And fighting beings like Ei was a normal Monday morning for her.
Beidou didn't back down and her will went steadfast. Black lightning appearing as a manifestation of it as she unlocked her haki of an emperor. As her will to improve to the level of Ein was an ambition far higher than anyone in the One Piece world. She desired ascension to basically godhood.
"Tch, you pass. It pains me to admit, but you are worthy of my master." Tohru huffed and could respect her will. As nobody normal could withstand her immense aura.
The ground even cracked and the clouds parted from their small clash of wills. "Heh, you think I am shallow? I will conquer this world and be the emperor of the seas!" Beidou gave a smug smile and clinged to Ein. Pestering him to cook the sea king immediately.
"Hah, okay okay. We'll have a barbecue party! Who's with me!?" Ein shouted out and the crew immediately started cheering.
Ein took out two massive swords and disappeared. He quickly dismantled the sea king perfectly and the literal tons of meat looked to be shining like rubies.
Beidou gulped as Ein took out a big cauldron, dipping them in special marinating liquid so they would become little atomic bombs of flavor.
He snapped his fingers and the meat stewed in the liquid for exactly 24 hours, a perfect amount of time for it to seep and not overpower the natural flavors.
Tohru then cast magic and a huge pit for barbecue appeared. Ein wore a towel on his forehead like a Japanese master and started cooking them.
"Step right up, get your sea king meat today! It's a special occasion you know?" Ein gave the meat to Tohru and she plated them up with inhuman speed.
Mountains of meat and alcohol quickly arrived. The crew cried when they tasted the food, as it was a special ingredient and Ein prepared it.
"Ahhh, I can die in happiness." One of the crew members said as he saw his whole life flash between his eyes. Completely satisfied with his life. He then felt the meat nourish his body, giving him strength like no other.
"Ohhhh!? Ein, does this give us a boost? I can feel my muscles soar with energy!" Beidou was holding a bone in mysterious meat that only appears in anime. They gorged themselves and it was metabolized immediately with his help so they could get stronger.
"Umu, the creatures in this world has plenty of magic or different kinds of energies. And Ein-sama is helping you eat all of it so you would gain its strength 100% You are lucky that he is helping you so much." Tohru huffed and was proud of her master.
"Ahhh, this is life. Eating delicious meat, drinking the best alcohol." Beidou relaxed as she continued voraciously eating.
Tohru then sensed someone peak at them. She immediately turned around and saw a huge child hiding behind some stones. Drooling at the smell of the godly barbecue.
"Ein-sama, there is a child over there. And she must be a giant or something? Anyways, do you want me to bring her here?" Tohru knew that her master had a soft spot for children. As he saw them suffer in the honkai war.
"Umu, we still have tons of food to go by. Bring the kid here." Ein nodded and he just continued making more as he had an idea on who the kid was.
"Hey, kid. What are you looking at over there, come here! We've got tons of food for everybody!" Tohru called out with a tone she couldn't refuse.
The kid came out behind her hiding place and was really shy. "R-really? I can? But I eat a lot..." A huge ass fat kid with pink fluffy hair appeared. (pic)
"Ugh, stop being shy kid. Just come over here already or I'll carry you here! You hear me?" Tohru declared and the kid's eyes shone. She then quickly arrived and Beidou was amazed, along with her crew.
"Oh my goodness, a real giant!? Hey kid! Want to go with us? You look like you're alone huh?" Beidou frowned as she remembered her days when she was a kid and had to fend for herself.
"Ahhh, my parents left me here. They told me they would come back... But a few days already went past." The kid cried and her tears were like a shower.
"Enough crying kid, go and get some grub." Ein patted her on the back and the kid nodded, being presented with massive skewers of meat and vegetables.
"Ugh, I don't like veggies..." The kid was about to lose herself and started eating, but she saw the vegetables that were yucky.
"Eat your vegetables kid, you won't regret it. It's pretty tasty you know?" Ein chided her and the kid nodded reluctantly.
She then started eating and she went silent immediately. Eating the food slowly, not really what everyone was expecting as they heard her stomach growl earlier.
"Uuuuuh. This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life... I have been enlightened." The fat kid had a revelation and her eyes have been opened. The best food was to be enjoyed slowly. Her instincts to devour everything got destroyed and she just realized that to enjoy this experience, she must eat it slowly and thankfully.
"Heh, that's the magic of Ein-san's food kid!" One of the crew members shouted out and they partied again.
"Say, what's your name? Do you want to go with that older sister over there? They have tons of food you know? You'll never get hungry." Ein asked her and she swallowed her food.
"I'm Charlotte Linlin. Thank you for this nii-san, I haven't eaten for multiple days already. But even though I'm not full yet. I feel that I am satisfied already." Linlin continued eating and she felt her soul getting nourished by the food.
"Umu, my master is just that amazing!" Tohru puffed her chest out and smiled in pride.
"I am Beidou, Linlin. This nii-san over here is Ein. So, what happened to you?" Beidou investigated and she told her story.
"I often lost control of myself and rampaged whenever I went hungry or ate delicious things. I couldn't remember what happened and would just see destruction. My mom and dad shipped me here to Elbaf and told me they would return..." Linlin cried again and soothed herself with the meat.
"I see... Then how about you come with us? We've been looking for people in our crew, we'll explore the world and eat delicious things! What do you say? Linlin?" Beidou enticed the gluttonous Linlin and she was hooked.
"R-really? You won't abandon me when you guys can't feed me anymore? I might rampage you know?" The girl was down in the dumps and Beidou laughed.
"Heh, we've got food for days kid! Look at my ship! It's really special, and it contains supplies you can't even imagine! I can feed hundreds of you easily!" Beidou puffed up her chest. But Tohru snorted, sensing that the storage in it came from Ein.
"O-okay! I'll go with you guys!" Linlin had stars in her eyes and thought of all the delicious things they would find.
"Hahaha, that's the spirit! You'll be a fine member of my crew!" Beidou raised her mug and the crew cheered for their new and unique member. Even though she was a kid.
"Ohhh! Let's welcome Linlin over here!" Beidou patted her back and Linlin got embarrassed.
Linlin then cried again as she got taken in as a family member in an unexpected crew.
Ein thought they couldn't sail in the grand line with a kid with them. As Beidou and the crew would kill tons of people that would try to get them after all.
"Hey Beidou, you'd need tons of time to explore every inch of the sea anyways. How about you start with somewhere a bit peaceful?" Ein suggested and Beidou thought for a moment.
"Yeah... Sea kings and natural disasters aren't the true dangers here. It's the pirates and the world government. I've read about them already and they are the real threat to us. Okay, we'll travel and discover everything in the four blues first. Then we will go to the grand line when Linlin turns at least 10 years old." Beidou nodded in agreement with his suggestion.
"I'll train every one in your crew as well. It's something called the 6 powers, hehe~ When you guys learn this. You'll be unstoppable!" Ein took out training suits so they could be burdened with gravity like Sushang.
"You too, Linlin. And whenever you complete training, I'll give you a reward and cook something really nice for you." Ein smiled at Linlin and she got determined. As everyone in the crew would do it.
"Tohru, you'll be training them in observation haki. Shoot things at their way while they're blind, then slowly ramp it up until they don't have any senses. Until they see the future." Ein smiled and the crew got chills. Even Beidou thought it would be a hard training session.
"With armament haki. You'll learn it naturally when you improve your body. The 6 powers will also help expedite this. You guys will be an armada with just one ship. Every single one of you must be able to take down entire crews." Ein pointed at them and so he declared.
"Sir yes sir! We won't let you down, sir!" The crew saluted and thought that they can't let their captain do everything on her own.
"And we start now! Wear your suits and run around for an hour! When you get tired, return here and eat some meat so you'll get stronger! Chop chop!" Ein squinted his eyes at all of them and they started to run. Having a bad feeling that something bad will happen to them if they don't start training.
Ein hunted down sea kings and sent his kids for 10 thousand year old vegetables in cultivator worlds to feed the crew. They were in his hellish camp and they thought that his training was heaven and hell.
The crew cultivated their physical body to the limit. Linlin and Beidou had the most improvement, with the fat kid now slimming down, but she soldiered on for the delicious things he would give her everytime.
And Beidou was getting ridiculously strong. All of them were, they were being powerleveled to insane degrees. Their muscles got torn, their bones creaked, their skin cracked. Then they would get healed and the mortal body they possesed can now resist even 30 mm shells.
While Linlin's durability was much much stronger. Her skin can't be damaged by normal weapons and she sparred with Beidou. Their blows creating shockwaves like bombs went off.
Kazuha got a major upgrade and because of his Anemo vision, he was able to walk in the air first. Making him embarrassed with the crew's praise.
Linlin got iron body first and Beidou got finger guns first. After a few weeks, Ein was satisfied with their progress. They can now use the 6 powers. And they all have basic mastery of their haki.
Beidou then got the idea that she could use her emperor's haki in her attacks. Because Ein said they could use their armament haki to strengthen their weapons.
She had trouble with it for now, but she was already ahead of everyone who had the haki. Only a matter of time before she appeared as the empress of the sea.
Their brutal training was now being tested and Beidou fought with Linlin, as she was the only one that could.
"Haaa! Rokuogan!" Beidou gave a punch that used all of the six powers for one blow. Releasing a shockwave that is really effective against fleshy opponents.
Meanwhile, Linlin cultivated her armament haki and with her immense strength, her purple fist because of it clashed against Beidou's.
Their attacks cancelled each other out and they immediately stopped the fight. As Linlin was just a little kid and Beidou can't really spar against her for real.
"Whew! Captain, you're really strong! I knew you were holding back, you're so cool!" Linlin admired Beidou and she laughed.
"You should see what that scary girl over there could do. I know she's insanely strong." Beidou pointed at Tohru and Linlin was confused.
"Huh? Tohru nee-chan? She's so sweet though?" Linlin started getting closer with Tohru as the dragon gave her food and Linlin thought she was really kind.
"Want to see what they can do? Ein, Tohru-san. Can you guys show us what the very best here could offer?" Beidou was curious as well on what the top looked like in the world.
"Hmmm, okay. But we need to go to an uninhabited island." Ein teleported them all in a large island with a clearing.
"Yosh, you guys don't go outside that line okay? We're going to be clashing. Come on Tohru, this will be training for you as well." Ein hyped Tohru up and the dragon did a guts pose.
"Hai, Ein-sama! I will be mimicking the strength of the top here." Tohru grew her claws and her slitted eyes turned sharp as the aura around her changed. The ground cracked and the whole island experienced an earthquake.
The crew went pale and they did not expect that the mostly mild mannered Tohru hid that much power on her soft looking body.
"Captain, she's really scary." Linlin hid behind Beidou and was terrified of her overbearing aura.
"Here I come then Tohru!" Ein and Tohru clashed at the middle and their fists looked like they were touching, but a force was preventing them from doing so.
Black lightning rained down from the heavens and the clouds got parted. The island was split in the middle and the two combatants were fighting weirdly. Like they couldn't commit with their blows as they saw their future movements.
Tohru broke the deadlock and flew up high in the sky. She charged a breath attack and a beam of fire got released from her mouth.
It cut through the island like butter and the sea parted as far as the eye can see. An explosion then followed and the crew can only watch on in horror as they thought of what would happen if Tohru attacked Liyue.
"Useless!" Ein stopped the laser with his palm and it got cancelled. He used whitebeard's fruit and coated his hands with an earthquake.
He clapped in front of him and the air shattered. Shockwaves flipped the island upside down as the crew held on with their lives.
Tohru kicked the air and an air blade kilometers long sliced up the incoming shockwave. Her hands then vibrated violently with haki. Because of her immense physical strength, it was invisible.
Ein and Tohru crashed onto each other. Trading blows as the island started sinking to the depths. They floated in midair and Tohru used her tail suddenly. Coating it with conqueror's and armament haki while using the rokuogan.
Like a nuke exploded, Ein blocked the blow with his arms and he was sent flying like a comet down to the deep sea.
Tohru prepared for retaliation, but she was too late. As Ein appeared behind her and gave an axe kick at her shoulder. The sea behind Tohru got sliced from the air pressure and the crew even saw the bottom of the abyss.
The two then stopped their little spar and dusted themselves off. "Hehe, we combined multiple disciplines, like haki and physical strength. Also some powers unique to this world. But that should be their ultimate strength if they mastered their powers." Ein nodded in satisfaction at the amazed crew.
As they would likely train harder to achieve the apex. "Wow, Ein-nii, Tohru nee-chan are so cool and strong!" Linlin was a kid after all. And anime as fuck fights would inspire her.
"You guys went woosh and bam! I want to do that!" Linlin got excited and thought that she would like to be the strongest as well. So she could protect her crew and captain.
"Hehe~ Is that so? Then train like there's no tomorrow Linlin. There's tons of time, how about I show you what your apex would be?" Ein looked at Tohru and her hand became draconic.
She disappeared from everyone's sight and Ein just stood there while Tohru gave his midsection a blow that made islands a couple kilometers away from them sink.
"That Linlin, would be how durable you are if you continue training! And you could also give that kind of blow if you master your haki." Ein smiled and patted her head.
"R-really!? Then I'll train! I'll become strong!" Linlin burned with determination and Beidou thought that she can't be left behind by Linlin.
"Hahaha! Now let's go to the four blues and train like there's no tomorrow! While we explore of course." Beidou cheered and everyone started preparing to sail.
Ein transported them at the middle of the 4 blues and Beidou would be responsible where they wanted to go.
"Heh, how can we be known if we don't do things? We'll get rid of pirates and scumbags that ails the masses!" Beidou had received news of pirated and the like that terrorized the lands. So she would use them as her stepping stone to become known and be the empress of the seas.
"Ohhh! Let's go captain, I'm itching to beat up those bastards!" The crew's blood boiled and they would fight them.
"Haha, do whatever you want. But remember that Linlin is right there, teach her well. I'll come by from time to time okay?" Ein kissed Beidou and patted Linlin's head.
He saw Tohru pout and how could he forget, he also patted her head and gave her a hug. She was satisfied with that and Ein returned to Ningguang's empire to see their progress.
"Yosh! Let's go to a town and look for bastards to beat up!" Beidou ordered as they started to sail. Starting their legendary crew that would be peerless in the seas.

Somewhere in Teyvat, at the base of the abyss order. One Lumine was writhing on the ground as she saw her subordinates look at her with pity in their eyes.
"Hey, L-Lumine-sama... Sorry for your loss." One of the abyss mages bowed and immediately ran away. Thinking that she must be embarrassed beyond measure.
"Ughhhh. Stupid, stupid! Of course Dr. Ein would do something like this... He's Dr. Ein. He can do anything, why did I challenge him." Lumine sighed and remembered once again what Teyvat saw.
Now she can't even meet her subordinates with them looking at her with embarrassment or pity. She could only face ruin guards or golems now.
Meanwhile Aether was still trying to find Lumine. But he had a feeling that he would see her again pretty soon, or Ein would give her another punishment that's unforgettable.
