The headquarters of the Navy.
Hidden under the black curtain, Teach was finally able to obtain what he had longed for all these years: the power of Whitebeard, the Gura Gura no Mi!
Teach stepped out from behind the black curtain, accompanied by the intense stares of many Marines, and with a laugh, lifted the curtain, revealing Whitebeard's lifeless body.
"Ze-ha-ha-ha-ha."
"Time to renew the feud, marines!"
Blackbeard clenched his hands at his sides and laughed loudly, looking around at the numerous marines surrounding him.
They watched them looked at Teach warily and uncomprehendingly.
"Nothing seems to have changed at all..."
"What did Blackbeard do to Whitebeard's body?!"
Many thoughts went through the heads of the senior Marines.
Just at this moment, Garp's huge fist, which was staring grimly at Blackbeard's Pirates, was enveloped by the will of the weaponry.
The Marine Hero abruptly rose from the ground and ran straight at Blackbeard.
"Let's go!"
With a grin, Teach clenched and raised his fist, standing in exactly the same position as Blackbeard in the past, and then slammed sharply towards Garp's fist.
Crack!!!
A loud sound of shattering glass rolled across the battlefield.
Accompanied by the surprised and disbelieving gazes of many people, Blackbeard's fist crushed the air like the surface of a mirror and released the force of an earthquake, firmly blocking the Navy Hero's blow!
The entire Marine headquarters shook violently again, and many deep cracks spread out in all directions from the site of the collision between Teach and Garp.
Numerous Marines screamed in horror, barely keeping their balance on the shuddering island.
"What a joke..."
"This is the power of Whitebeard.... How is this possible?!"
Everyone present looked at Teach in disbelief and shock.
Even the anger in the eyes of the Whitebeard Pirates was replaced by shock when Blackbeard used the power of Gura Gura no Mi.
"Blackbeard, that bastard..."
"But how... how can a person eat two devil fruits at once?!"
Someone said in astonishment.
Marco gritted his teeth: "Of course, a normal person can't eat two devil fruits, but Teach's body structure is different from normal..."
Somewhere in the middle of the battlefield, on a pile of ruins, a Doflamingo was sitting, looking at Blackbeard in the distance with a smile, "Fu-fu-fu, it's getting funnier and funnier, but the ability to eat two devil fruits is actually not that amazing..."
Doflamingo was not at all surprised by what had happened, remembering the three devil fruits consumed by Yeruashi as a snack, with no visible side effects at all.
Blackbeard slowly raised his hands in front of him, accompanied by the stares of countless people.
The right fist was wrapped in a white halo and the left palm was shrouded in darkness, like a black flame.
"The power of darkness that can negate all other abilities, and the power of an earthquake that can crush everything."
"The combination of these abilities is invincible! From now on, I am.... the strongest in the world!"
Blackbeard's loud shout echoed throughout the Navy headquarters.
These words were not only heard here, but also on many islands around the world, to which the image was still being transmitted from the headquarters.
Numerous civilians felt a strong shudder when they heard Blackbeard's words.
The combination of the power of Yami Yami no Mi and Gura Gura no Mi in one body.
Can anyone stop Blackbeard, who has such terrifying and irresistible power?
But.
When the battlefield was silent for a moment, suddenly there was the sound of wooden sandals slowly treading on the ice.
It was unclear why, but on this huge and chaotic battlefield, the soft sound of footsteps clearly reached the ears of every single person present.
Blackbeard froze and narrowed his eyes, looking in the direction where the sound of footsteps came from.
Garp, Sengoku and the others turned their heads sharply, staring in the same direction.
Phoenix Marco, Diamond Jozu and Doflamingo were looking in the same direction, along with the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, members of the Revolutionary Army and numerous marines chasing them.
Video den den mushi also turned in the direction where the sound of footsteps came from and zoomed in, giving the maximum close-up.
Soon, a relaxed figure with silvery white hair, wearing a simple white raincoat and wooden sandals appeared in that direction, amidst the white mist that had risen above the icy sea.
As his silhouette became clearer and clearer, the vast battlefield gradually fell silent.
Doflamingo, Marco, Mihawk and the others reacted in the same way, simply freezing in place for a while.
At the same time, in the middle of the sea, not far from the Navy headquarters, on the front deck of a large pirate ship, Shanks froze in amazement.
After a brief pause, he turned his head and exclaimed aloud, "Turn the ship around, all is canceled."
Lucky Roux took a bite of meat and asked in surprise, "Captain, have you decided not to go to Navy headquarters?"
"There's no need for that anymore."
Shanks said calmly, returning to his cabin.
The Redheaded Pirates' ship turned around in the sea near the navy headquarters and quickly sailed off into the distance, gradually disappearing behind the horizon, as if it had never appeared here.
At the same time.
The headquarters of the Marine Patrol.
Yeruashi walked calmly on the ice and climbed up to the island, accompanied by the gaze of many people.
Everyone present immediately recognized him, and even the countless people who were watching the broadcast from the headquarters froze in astonishment.
"It's the... Traveler!"
Cold sweat broke out on Apu's forehead, who was watching the broadcast intently, "Hey, hey.... Why did he show up at Navy headquarters at a time like this?"
"The Closest Man to God..."
Eustace Kid clenched his fists.
"The most dangerous man in the world..."
Mad Monk Urouge whispered softly.
"It's him..."
Kuina took a deep breath, staring into the distance at Yeruashi's figure.
At this moment, not only the supernovas who were watching the broadcast on some island, but also Kuina, Zoro, Aokiji, Momousagi and the others who were at the Navy headquarters were asking the same question.
What is he doing here?!
"The traveler..."
The Sengoku Fleet Admiral clenched his fists tightly, looking extremely tense at Yeruashi who was walking slowly.
Being not only a Fleet Admiral, but also a person who had fought the Traveler twice, Sengoku realized like no one else how terrible this man was!
From his point of view, even Blackbeard, who had obtained two incredibly strong devil fruits, was much less scary than Yeruashi.
If we identify all the special abilities demonstrated by Yeruashi up to this point as devil fruit abilities, we can conclude that he has at least five devil fruit abilities!
Maybe Teach has an incredibly unique and rare body structure, but Yeruashi... is simply not a person!
Yeruashi leisurely walked around the battlefield, briefly glancing at the numerous corpses and the detained Whitebeard Pirates.
After a while, he stopped and calmly said, "I have come... to stop this war!"
His calm, low voice echoed across the vast battlefield, ringing clearly in the ears of all present.
This voice, which seemed to have some kind of hypnotic power, instantly weakened the combat intent of many Marines.
The hostile and bloody atmosphere that reigned on the battlefield was immediately noticeably weakened.
"..."
Sengoku whispered, glaring at Yeruashi, "Stop the war?"
Yeruashi scanned the battlefield briefly, looking at Luffy, Nami, Sabo, Marco, Kuina, Aokiji, Momousagi and the others, then calmly said, "Continuing this senseless war will only lead to increased casualties on both sides. Let the war end with the death of Whitebeard, that is enough."
Vice Admiral Onigumo exclaimed indignantly, "What kind of a joke is this?! The escape of Fire Fist and the Whitebeard Pirates will be an indelible disgrace to..."
"We agree."
Sengoku turned to Yeruashi, abruptly interrupting Onigumo's words, and turned his head, looking sadly at Blackbeard's Pirates, "But even if the Navy is ready to abandon the war, there will still be people eager to continue it.... "
Yeruashi nodded softly and looked at Blackbeard's Pirates.
Blackbeard, who had been staring at Yeruashi all this time, felt a strong chill at this moment, but quickly regained his calm, feeling the powerful power of Gura Gura and Yami Yami no Mi in his body.
"Although that time, many years ago, you really succeeded in instilling fear in me, but I am no longer afraid of you, Traveler! After all, I'm the strongest now..."
Whoosh!
Blackbeard's voice stopped abruptly.
The entire Navy headquarters was plunged into absolute silence.
Everyone present opened their eyes like saucers, looking in Yeruashi's direction, empty-headed.
A white glow shone from the palm of Yeruashi's left hand and advanced silently.
This pillar of white light had already swallowed all of Blackbeard's Pirates and swept through the huge fortress of the Navy headquarters, disappearing somewhere in the middle of the sea.
In the places where this pillar of white light passed, absolutely everything disappeared instantly!!! without a trace or sound!!!!
Blackbeard's Pirates were gone.
Almost half of the huge fortress had disappeared.
In the middle of the sea, behind the fortress, a very clean and smooth abyss appeared, stretching all the way to the bottom of the ocean.
It was - Senpo Jinton: Detachment of the Primeval World: Pillar!
"So."
"That's the end of the war."
Yeruashi slowly lowered his hand and looked around with a faint smile, as if he had just done something completely insignificant.
After these words, a black space passage appeared in front of Yeruashi, and he calmly took a step forward, disappearing into it, accompanied by the surprised looks of countless people.
The entire Navy headquarters was plunged into absolute silence.
In the empty minds of the people, only a very short and simple thought revolved: what kind of power is this?
...
The 22nd year since the beginning of the Pirate Era.
The Navy headquarters went to war with the Banbablanca Pirates, where Edward Newgate, one of the three legends of the last era, was defeated.
History textbooks wrote not only about the fall of Banbablanca, but also about Blackbeard, Marshal D. Teach, who got his ability from the Devil's Fruit.
In the textbooks, this event is described as follows:
Blackbeard, who had just acquired the Devil Fruit ability from Whitebeard, tried to provoke the Traveler, but was immediately obliterated by a divine-like force.
Perhaps it is not quite correct to call the Traveler's power 'divine-like', it was probably really a true divine power, and the Traveler himself was a god who traveled the earth.
From that day on, no one else dared to call Yeruashi a Traveler, let alone utter his name.
He was simply called 'that creature.
...
A few years later.
Races were held in the wide streets of Gran Tesoro, the world's largest entertainment city, located on a giant ship.
Numerous people who had bet on this race shouted excitedly and actively waved their hands.
At the top, in the luxurious VIP lounge, the Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi sat, watching the race below with interest.
A dwarf lay on Shirahoshi's chest.
Speaking of a dwarf, this is true only in the case of comparison with a huge Shirahoshi, but in fact, it was a person with a fairly normal growth.
The person who not only dared to take Shirahoshi to such a noisy place, but also to place her in the most luxurious salon, of course, was Yeruashi.
"Which car will win? what do you think, Shirahoshi?"
Yeruashi looked at Shirahoshi's big head above him and smiled.
Shirahoshi blinked her big eyes several times, looking at the car driving ahead at that moment, and said, "Number 777 should win, shouldn't it?"
"You didn't get it right."
Yeruashi shook his head, "Number 333 will win."
Shortly after Yeruashi's words, car number 777 hit an obstacle and flew off the road, and car number 333, which was chasing it, came out the winner.
Shirahoshi covered her mouth with her hand in surprise, "Ah... Yeruashi-san is right as usual."
Yeruashi sat up and stretched his body in a relaxed manner, "Do you want to play something else?"
Shirahoshi thought about it and sighed wearily, looking at Yeruashi, "Maybe it's better to rest? I'm already tired..."
Although it was very rare for Shirahoshi to go for a walk with Yeruashi, she didn't want to tire him out and she herself already felt tired.
"Then let's go back."
Yeruashi nodded.
Guild Tesoro, who was standing nearby, bowed politely to Yeruashi, "Maybe you need an escort?"
"No."
Yeruashi waved his hand casually and placed his palm on Shirahoshi's body, after which he instantly disappeared along with her, activating Hiraishin.
Tesoro breathed a sigh of relief after Yeruashi and Shirahoshi left Great Treasure.
Although a significant part of the original plot has changed a lot, the gold will shine regardless of the circumstances.
Guild Tesoro still managed to become the 'Golden Emperor', exerting great influence on the world economy, but in front of Yeruashi, he did not dare to show the slightest rudeness or arrogance, because this person.... Is a god completely superior to any mortal!
Yeruashi, who had sent Shirahoshi to her residence in Wano Country, was walking quietly on the grass, looking up at the night sky, strewn with bright stars.
"What a beautiful sight..."
He smiled and whispered.
The grass under his feet and the white cloak on his back fluttered gently in the calm wind, along with silver-white hair that looked like thousands of tiny silver snakes.
After an unknown period of time.
The wind suddenly disappeared.
It did not gradually fade away, but simply disappeared, as if the pause key had been pressed.
Yeruashi briefly scanned Wano Country and saw that Robin, Hancock and the others were motionless in place.
All of them could no longer think while under the influence of the illusory clock, even though they had absorbed its energy countless times over the years.
Yeruashi looked around once more and turned to the right.
There stood a girl of thirteen or fourteen, with long white hair and large scarlet eyes.
Although this girl was also frozen in place, like Robin, Hancock and the others, her gaze did not seem frozen, indicating an active consciousness.
The girl was looking at Yeruashi.
Although she did not have the ability to speak, Yeruashi only had to look into her eyes to recognize her words.
She was addressing him.
[Father...]
Yeruashi smiled as he looked at the girl, "As I thought, the illusory clock separated you from the flow of time together with me, because you possess a pure part of my power."
As he spoke, Yeruashi slowly raised his hand in front of him and opened his palm.
The girl turned into a white glow and disappeared into his palm, after which a golden glow enveloped Yeruashi.
Silence.
The surrounding world disappeared, replaced by a golden river.
During the first jump, Yeruashi did not understand what this golden river was, but after mastering the fourth and fifth skills of the illusory clock, allowing him to look into both the past and the future, he saw something completely different in this golden river.
As he had assumed in the past, this golden river is a timeline, marking time flowing in one world and time being born in a new world, after the destruction of the old one.
Whoosh!!!
Yeruashi's body rushed into the golden river.
This time, compared to the previous completely uncontrolled jump, Yeruashi was able to partially control the jumping range.
He was able to do this thanks to the illusory clock's sixth ability, discovered in the world of One Piece: time jumping.
As expected, the sixth ability of the illusory clock was associated with the fifth and fourth.
The fourth ability is to see the future, the fifth is to see the past, and the sixth is to move into the past and future.
But Yeruashi still couldn't fully control his movement in the river of time, let alone return to the worlds of Naruto and One Piece, the moment he left them.
"But I'm already much closer to true control of time..."
Yeruashi whispered and disappeared into the golden river, with many splashes flying in different directions.
