"Special Item: Conqueror's Haki (Scroll)!"
"Conqueror's Haki: The rarest and most powerful of the three types of Haki.
Only those with the spirit of a king are born with this potential.
With Conqueror's Haki, one can overwhelm and intimidate enemies without lifting a finger.
Weaker foes may collapse simply from the pressure."
Hearing the system prompt, Fenric's eyes lit up.
Conqueror's Haki!
Among all abilities in the One Piece world, this was undoubtedly one of the rarest and most sought-after powers.
It was comparable—even rivaling—the might of a top-tier Logia Devil Fruit.
Unlike Logia fruits that immediately transform the user into a formidable force upon consumption, Conqueror's Haki was weak at first, able to subdue only ordinary people. But its potential was limitless. Its ceiling? Sky high.
A perfect example was the Red-Haired Shanks—one of the Four Emperors.
When he unleashed his Conqueror Haki, even opponents at his level could be suppressed.
Fenric was more than satisfied with this Golden Treasure Chest reward.
Very satisfied!
Based on online guides, the rewards for the third level of the One Piece large-scale dungeon weren't supposed to be this generous. Truly valuable Devil Fruits could only be acquired in the second phase—deep within the multi-floor Tower of Samsara.
Without hesitation, Fenric tore open the scroll.
"Notice: You have learned Conqueror's Haki. Proficiency: 500."
BOOM!!
Something in Fenric changed instantly.
His aura, already confident and powerful, took a leap to something even more formidable.
Before, people who met him for the first time would see him as charismatic and strong.
Now? He radiated an oppressive, kingly presence. He stood silently, yet resembled a lion at rest—quiet, but exuding an overwhelming force.
The aura of a king!
Fortunately, Fenric could suppress his Conqueror Haki to a manageable level. Otherwise, just walking down the main street would draw far too much attention.
Next, he attempted to upgrade his newly acquired Conqueror's Haki.
To his surprise, a casual upgrade required 3,000 Samsara points—twice as much as for Armament Haki.
To push it to Proficient would cost a staggering 30,000 points.
Insane.

Overall Evaluation: B
Fenric reviewed his updated stats. His overall evaluation remained at B, which meant he still had a ways to go before reaching A-rank.
Still, he was pleased.
Among Samsara players of his level, he stood at the top—far above the rest.
As he exited the Personal Warehouse, a message came in from Aurora Morwyn.
His eyes brightened.
She was still alive!
Fenric vividly recalled their parting—Aurora had also entered the Tower of Samsara, intending to clear a dungeon.
If she was messaging him now, it meant she'd survived her run!
Excited, he immediately initiated a video call.
"Shura!!"
Aurora picked up almost instantly—as if she'd been waiting.
"Finally done hiding in your warehouse, huh? Got quite the haul this time? Your name's all over the Samsara Space!"
"Oh?" Fenric was surprised. "It was just a Super God rating. It's not even my first."
"This time's different," she said. "Lots of people saw your performance firsthand during the dungeon run. Word's spread fast. Your fame has skyrocketed—there are even some 'cheaters' calling you their idol."
Fenric chuckled.
Let them talk.
He knew no one could replicate what he did anyway.
"Shura, I honestly didn't expect you to actually assassinate a Celestial Dragon and make it out alive!" Aurora exclaimed.
Smart as ever, she didn't ask whether Fenric had a teleportation item or ability.
It was clearly a secret, and if Fenric didn't bring it up himself, she wouldn't pry.
"Just luck, really," Fenric replied humbly. "But congratulations to you as well! You cleared 28 floors—that's incredible!"
Aurora smiled softly. "Shura, I should be the one thanking you."
"Me? I didn't help you at all."
"Oh, but you did. Your actions in the One Piece dungeon altered the original timeline. Because of your influence, the Marine Fleet Admiral was replaced mid-arc. I should've died—but thanks to that shift, I survived. The system judged my mission complete."
Fenric blinked.
Was that really possible?
"Shura, if you're free, let's meet up. I'd rather explain everything in person. Come to Box 3637 at the teahouse. My treat."
"Sounds good."
Fenric agreed readily—he was curious to hear what exactly had happened to her during the dungeon.
Entertainment City – Teahouse – Box 3637
Aurora Morwyn began by recounting her experience.
When she mentioned that Whitebeard and Kaido had joined forces to assault Marine Headquarters, Fenric looked completely stunned.
The Four Emperors attacking the Marines together?
This wasn't just a "Marineford War." This was complete chaos!
"You're saying the Marine Fleet Admiral changed because of my actions? It wasn't Sengoku anymore?"
Aurora Morwyn nodded. "Right."
"Then who was it?"
"Akainu."
She continued, "And not just that. Admiral Aokiji vanished, replaced by a fearsome new figure nicknamed 'Green Bull.'"
Fenric asked quickly, "So who were the Admirals under Akainu's leadership?"
"Me, Fujitora, Green Bull, and Kizaru."
Fenric felt dizzy for a moment.
The entire storyline had been derailed.
Aurora added seriously, "I just found out that you didn't just affect my dungeon. Other Samsara players who entered the second stage of the One Piece world also reported strange developments."
"All of this because you assassinated a Celestial Dragon inside Marine Headquarters. It forced Sengoku to resign—and everything else spiraled from there."
