It wasn't just a feeling of being healed.
Erza's weak body, which had fallen seriously ill due to the passing of four relatives, was rapidly recovering.
This comfortable sensation made Erza reluctant to pull away from Fang Huo's warm hands for a moment.
The two of them held the Devil Fruit like that, gazing into each other's eyes.
At this moment, pink hearts seemed to be floating around, and the atmosphere became romantic.
Fang Huo, with his top-tier divine looks, also used a deep gaze of [World's Most Devoted].
This was simply impossible for a green young girl like Erza to resist.
Her face grew more and more flushed, and her eyes became increasingly shy.
A rosy blush, like a young girl tipsy from wine, appeared on her cheeks.
"So cute~"
Touched by this pure sense of girlishness, Fang Huo couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Erza's small cheek.
"Sir... please... please behave yourself..."
Like a startled kitten, Erza snapped back to her senses and hurriedly took two steps back, even stuttering a little as she spoke.
She had completely lost the composure and grace of the Vortex Shrine Maiden of the past.
At this moment, she was just a green young girl in the springtime of love.
"My name is Fang Huo, Gu Yue Fang Huo."
"A Great Love Immortal Venerable who is searching for love in this world."
Nine Soul Fires swirled around Fang Huo. Among them, the pale blue Gekko soul activated its ability, and a holy full moon divine disk appeared behind him, making him look even more like a descending deity.
"Great Love Immortal Venerable?"
Erza was a bit dazed and cute at this moment; she didn't know what an Immortal Venerable meant.
Was it a deity like the God of Whirlpool?
"My name is Vortex Elusa, and I am a Shrine Maiden of the Whirlpool Shrine."
Erza quickly reacted. Since this god-like noble young master had already introduced himself, she also hurriedly introduced herself.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?"
Looking at this charming and shy young girl, Fang Huo threw a direct pitch.
Just as Cavill, who played Superman, said, isn't picking up girls a very simple thing?
As long as you speak up boldly, those girls will agree to a date as soon as you ask.
This is the playstyle of a Visual Monster.
Some Visual Monsters even think they have great skills and even want to teach others how to pick up girls.
"Eek~"
Erza was directly stunned in place by Fang Huo's words.
Facing the confession of a god-like, handsome noble young master, this was clearly beyond her understanding.
Her mind was completely blank, not knowing how to deal with it or how to respond.
"Have you ever heard a saying? What heaven arranges is the greatest."
"Our meeting is the arrangement of destiny!"
Fang Huo smiled slightly. Of course, he was the chief director responsible for arranging destiny.
"Eh~"
Erza's mind was still blank, but her face grew even more bashful as she thought of some strange plots from storybooks.
"Your illness hasn't fully healed yet. I can't bear to let a beautiful girl continue to suffer from the torment of disease."
This Visual Monster, Fang Huo, continued his attack. He stepped forward and once again held Erza's hands, which were cradling the Devil Fruit. His hands emitted a pure white, holy light.
Erza once again felt that comfortable, warm sensation.
"Is an Immortal Venerable a type of deity?"
Erza felt her body getting better, and she seemed to be becoming a bit obsessed with this warm feeling.
After her grandmother passed away, her heart yearned for family, for a family member she could rely on.
"An Immortal Venerable is more powerful than the gods you imagine."
Fang Huo smiled faintly. The deity in this Vortex Shrine Maiden's eyes was probably her ancestor, the God of Whirlpool.
Even the world nobles like the Celestial Dragons, who called themselves descendants of gods, could be killed at will in Fang Huo's eyes.
This God of Whirlpool, worshipped by the islanders of God Valley, was most likely a Paramecia Type whirlpool fruit user.
In the legends and intelligence Fang Huo had gathered, this God of Whirlpool was named Osial.
Hundreds of years ago, he protected the island of God Valley and repelled the attacks of island-swallowing giant Sea Kings.
He possessed powerful strength, the ability to create deep-sea whirlpools, and an unmatched aura, repelling the invasions of Sea Kings and pirates for God Valley time and again.
When this God of Whirlpool was at his strongest, he even created permanent deep-sea whirlpools in the Outer Seas of God Valley, preventing giant Sea Kings over five hundred meters in size from approaching God Valley.
These deep-sea whirlpools also frightened some pirates, leaving behind some terrifying legends, making them afraid to approach this dangerous whirlpool sea area.
This made the remote God Valley even safer.
This was also one of the important reasons why the Davy Clan moved to God Valley.
Because it was remote enough and safe enough.
Fang Huo also finally knew why Rocks could easily pass through the whirlpool area outside the Marineford-Impel Down-Enies Lobby Triangle Current to rob the tenryuubito tribute battleship.
It turned out that this guy had trained in the deep-sea whirlpools in the Outer Seas of God Valley and didn't care about those dangerous whirlpools in the Triangle Current at all.
Fang Huo guessed that this God of Whirlpool possessed Conqueror's Haki and had even awakened his ability at his strongest, and perhaps even took a step further after awakening.
After all, he could actually leave a series of permanent deep-sea whirlpools in the Outer Seas of God Valley to defend against giant Sea Kings.
This belonged to completely changing the environment.
The strength of the ability was truly terrifying.
Osial, who was revered as the God of Whirlpool by the islanders of God Valley, had descendants who remained in God Valley, established the Whirlpool Shrine, and took Vortex as their surname.
Even the name God Valley originated from the God of Whirlpool.
In this world, the protective deeds of some heroes can truly be remembered by islanders for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Like Shimotsuki Ryuma, who cut down a two-winged giant dragon and was known as the Dragon-Slaying Great Swordsman, and was also revered as a hero by Wano Country and worshipped for hundreds of years.
Even his sword, the black blade shusui, was revered as a national treasure of Wano Country.
Noland held a traditional live sacrifice for Shandora and killed a brutal giant sea serpent, which was remembered by the Shandia Tribe for four hundred years.
Noland taught the Tontatta Tribe many planting techniques and was almost revered as a god by them as well.
Even the impression of Noland's chestnut hairstyle was branded into the racial genes.
Just as the cloned Seraphim S-Snake still deeply loves Straw Hat Luffy.
Even Vegapunk cannot explain this genetic memory.
This is perhaps the same as ordinary people's instinctive fear of venomous snakes; ancestors branded the fear into the genetic instinct.
Fang Huo also guessed that this God of Whirlpool, who possessed powerful Conqueror's Haki and had also awakened his whirlpool ability...
...must have been stronger at his peak than the first King Figarland, one of the Twenty Kings.
This was why the bloodline intensity of the God of Whirlpool's descendant, Vortex Elusa, was a notch stronger than that of the Figarland Family's descendant, Saint Garling.
Whether it was the red hair color or the potential for Haoshoku, both came from Erza's bloodline.
If Figarland Garling Saint could produce geniuses like Shamrock and Shanks just by finding some beautiful women...
...then Saint Garling wouldn't have had to dispatch the God's Knights multiple times to snatch Shanks back.
He could have mass-produced geniuses by sowing seeds himself.
Unfortunately, he couldn't!
His decision to keep the child but get rid of the mother was definitely a huge mistake.
He thought it was his own genes that were powerful, unaware that his Shrine Maiden wife's bloodline intensity was even higher than his.
