Chapter 471 - 473

The headquarters of the Sea Patrol.

Hiding under the black curtain, Teach was finally able to get what he had been craving for all these years — the power of Belous, Gura Gura no Mi!

Teach came out from behind the black curtain, accompanied by the intense gazes of many sentries, and with a loud laugh, he lifted the curtain, revealing the lifeless body of Belous.

"Ze-ha-ha-ha."

"It's time to renew the feud, watchmen!"

Blackbeard spread his hands to the sides and laughed loudly, looking at the numerous patrollers around.

The watchers looked at Teach warily and uncomprehendingly.

"Nothing seems to have changed at all..."

"What did Blackbeard do to Whitebeard's body?!"

A lot of thoughts flashed through the heads of high-ranking patrollers.

Just at this moment, Garp's massive fist, which was looking gloomily at the Blackbeard Pirates, was enveloped by the will of the armament.

The Hero of the Watch abruptly pushed off from the ground, rushing straight to Blackbeard.

"Come on!"

With a grin, Teach clenched and raised his fist, standing in exactly the same position as Belous in the past, and then sharply struck forward, towards Garp's fist.

Crack!!!

A loud sound of breaking glass rolled across the battlefield.

Accompanied by the shocked and disbelieving looks of many people, Blackbeard's fist smashed the air like the surface of a mirror and released the force of an earthquake, firmly blocking the strike of the Hero of the Watch!

Numerous lookouts screamed in horror, bȧrėly keeping their balance on the shuddering island.

"What a joke..."

"This is the power of Belous...how is this possible?!"

Everyone present looked at Teach in disbelief and shock.

Even the rage in the eyes of the Pirates of Belous 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 amazement.

Marco ground his teeth: "Of course, a normal person can't eat two devil fruits, but the structure of Teach's body is different from normal..."

Somewhere in the middle of the battlefield, on a pile of ruins, a Doflamingo was sitting, looking at Black Beard in the distance with a grin: "Fu-fu-fu, it's getting more and more fun, but the ability to eat two devil fruits is actually not that amazing..."

Doflamingo was not shocked at all by what had happened, remembering from the three devil fruits eaten by Yeruashi like an appetizer, without any visible side effects at all.

Blackbeard slowly raised his hands in front of him, accompanied by the gazes of countless people.

The right fist was wrapped in a white halo, and the left palm was wrapped 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 cry echoed throughout the Marine Patrol headquarters.

These words were heard not only here, but also on many islands around the world, to which the image from the headquarters was still broadcast.

Numerous civilians felt a strong tremor in their hearts when they heard Blackbeard's words.

The combination of the power of Yami Yami no Mi and Gura Gura no Mi in one body.

But.

When the battlefield was silent for a while, suddenly there was the sound of wooden sandals slowly stepping on the ice.

It was unclear why, but in this huge and chaotic battlefield, the soft sound of footsteps clearly reached the ears of every one of the people present.

Blackbeard froze and squinted, looking in the direction from which the sound of footsteps came.

Garp, Sengoku, and the others abruptly turned their heads, staring intently in the same direction.

Phoenix Marco, Diamond Joz and Doflamingo were looking in the same direction, along with the rest of the Pirates of Belous, members of the Revolutionary Army and numerous patrollers who were chasing them.

Video den den mushi also turned in the direction from which the sound of footsteps came, and brought the image closer, giving the maximum close-up.

Soon, a relaxed figure with silver-white hair, wearing a simple white raincoat and wooden sandals appeared in that direction, in the middle of the white fog that had risen above the frozen sea.

As his silhouette became more and more clear, the vast battlefield gradually fell into silence.

At the same time, in the middle of the sea, not far from the headquarters of the Sea Patrol, on the front deck of a large pirate ship, a red-haired Shanks froze in amazement.

After a short pause, he turned his head and loudly exclaimed, " Turn the ship around, everything is canceled."

Lucky Roo took a bite of meat and asked in surprise: "Captain, have you decided not to go to the patrol headquarters?"

"There's no need for that anymore."

Shanks said calmly, returning to his cabin.

The ship of the Red-Haired Pirates turned around in the sea near the headquarters of the Sea Patrol and quickly sailed into the distance, gradually disappearing behind the horizon, as if it had never appeared here at all.

At the same time.

The headquarters of the Sea Patrol.

Yeruashi leisurely walked on the ice and climbed up to the island, accompanied by the views of many people.

"It's the same...Traveler!!"

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Apu, who was watching the broadcast intently: "Hey, hey...why did he show up at the headquarters of the Marine Patrol at such a moment?!"

"The closest to God..."

Eustace Kid clenched his fists.

"The most dangerous man in the world..."

The Mad Monk Urog whispered softly.

"It's him..."

Quina took a deep breath, looking at the figure of Yeruashi in the distance.

At this moment, not only the supernovae who were watching the broadcast on some island, but also Quina, Zoro, Aokiji, Momousagi and the others who were at the headquarters of the Marine Patrol were asking the same question.

"The traveler..."

Admiral of the Sengoku Fleet clenched his fists tightly, looking extremely tense at the slowly walking Yeruashi.

Being not only an Admiral of the Fleet, but also a person who had twice fought with a Traveler, 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 the abilities of the devil fruit, we can conclude that he has at least five abilities of the devil fruit!

Perhaps Tich has an incredibly unique and rare body structure, but Yeruashi...just not a person!!

Yeruashi strolled unhurriedly across the battlefield, glancing briefly at the numerous corpses and the stopped Pirates of Belous.

After a while, he stopped and said calmly: "I have come to stop this war!"

His calm and low voice rang through the vast battlefield, clearly sounding in the ears of everyone present.

This voice, which seemed to have some kind of hypnotic power, instantly weakened the combat intent of many sentinels.

The hostile and bloody atmosphere that reigned on the battlefield immediately noticeably weakened.

«...»

Sengoku whispered, looking intently at Yeruashi,"Stop the war?"

Yeruashi briefly scanned the battlefield, glancing at Luffy, Nami, Sabo, Marco, Kuina, Aokiji, Momousagi and the others, then calmly said: "The continuation of this senseless war will only lead to an increase in casualties on both sides. Let the war end with the death of Belous, that's enough."

Vice Admiral Onigumo exclaimed indignantly, " What kind of joke is this?! The escape of the Fire Fist and the Pirates of Belous will be an indelible disgrace for..."

"We agree."

Sengoku turned to Yeruashi, abruptly interrupting Onigumo's words, and turned his head, looking gloomily at the Blackbeard Pirates: "But even if the Sea Patrol is ready to abandon the war, there will still be people who are eager to continue it..."

Yeruashi nodded gently and looked at the Blackbeard Pirates.

Blackbeard, who had been staring intently at Yeruashi all this time, felt a strong tremor in his heart at this moment, but quickly regained calm, feeling the mighty power of Gura Gura and Yami Yami no Mi in his body.

"Although that time, many years ago, you really managed to instill fear in my heart, but I am no longer afraid of you, Traveler! After all, now I am the strongest..."

Phew!

Blackbeard's voice stopped abruptly.

The entire headquarters of the Marine Patrol was plunged into absolute silence.

Everyone present opened their eyes wide, looking in the direction of Yeruashi, with their heads empty.

A white glow flashed on the palm of Yeruashi's left hand and silently swept forward.

This pillar of white light had already swallowed up all the Blackbeard Pirates and swept through the huge fortress of the Sea Patrol headquarters, disappearing somewhere in the middle of the sea.

In the places where this column of white light swept by, absolutely everything instantly disappeared! Without any trace or sound!!

The Blackbeard Pirates were gone.

Almost half of the huge fortress had disappeared.

In the middle of the sea, behind the fortress, a very neat and smooth abyss appeared, extending to the bottom of the ocean.

It was — Senpo Jinton: A Pillar of Atomic Fission!

"That's it."

"Now this war has come to an end."

Yeruashi slowly lowered his hand and looked around with a slight smile, as if he had just done something completely insignificant.

After these words, a black spatial passage appeared in front of Yeruashi, and he calmly stepped forward, disappearing into it, accompanied by the shocked looks of countless people.

The entire headquarters of the Marine Patrol was plunged into absolute silence.

In the empty minds of people, only one very short and simple thought was spinning — what kind of power is this?!

...

The 22nd year since the beginning of the Era of Pirates.

The headquarters of the Sea Patrol entered into a war with the Pirates of Belous, where Edward Newgate, one of the three legends of the last era, was defeated by Belous.

The history textbooks wrote not only about the fall of Belous, but also about the Black Beard Marshal D. Teach, who captured his ability of the devil's fruit.

In the textbooks, this event was described as follows:

Blackbeard, who had just acquired the ability of the devil fruit of Belous, tried to provoke the Traveler, but was immediately erased by a force similar to a divine one.

Perhaps it is not quite correct to call the Traveler's power 'similar to divine', probably it was really a true divine power, and the Traveler himself was a god traveling on earth.

From that day on, no one else dared to call Yeruashi a Traveler, let alone pronounce his name.

He was simply called 'this creature'.

...

A few years later.

Races were held on the wide streets of Gran Tesoro, the largest entertainment city in the world, located on a giant ship.

Numerous people who had placed bets on this race shouted excitedly and actively waved their hands.

At the very top, in the luxurious VIP hall, the Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi was sitting, watching the race below with interest.

A dwarf was lying on Shirahoshi's ċhėst.

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 quite normal growth.

The person who not only dared to bring Shirahoshi to such a noisy place, but also to place her in the most luxurious hall, 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 the moment, and said,"Number 777 should win, shouldn't it?"

"I didn't guess right."

Yeruashi shook his head: "Number 333 will win."

Soon, after Yeruashi's words, the car number 777 crashed into an obstacle and flew off the highway, and the car number 333, chasing him, came out on top.

Shirahoshi covered her mouth with her hand in surprise, " Ah...Mr. Yeruashi is right as always."

Yeruashi sat down 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 out for a walk with Yeruashi, but she did not want to tire him, and she herself was already feeling tired.

"Then let's go back."

Yeruashi nodded.

Guild Tesoro, who was standing nearby, bowed politely to Yeruashi: "Perhaps you need an escort?"

"No."

Yeruashi casually waved his hand 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 Gran Tesoro.

Although a significant part of the original plot has been greatly changed, but the gold will shine brightly regardless of the circumstances.

Guild Tesoro still managed to become the 'Golden Emperor', exerting a huge influence on the world economy, but in the face of Yeruashi, he did not dare to show the slightest rudeness or arrogance, because this person...a god completely superior to any mortal!

Yeruashi, who had sent Shirahoshi to his residence in the Country of Vano, was leisurely walking on the grass, looking at the night sky, strewn with bright stars.

"What a beautiful view..."

He smiled and whispered.

The grass under his feet and the white cloak on his back gently fluttered 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 the Country of Vano, seeing that Robin, Hancock and the others were motionless in place.

All of them could not maintain thinking while under the influence of the illusory clock, although 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 years old, with long white hair and large scarlet eyes.

Although this girl also froze in place, like Robin, Hancock and the others, but her gaze did not seem frozen, which indicated an active consciousness.

The girl was looking at Yeruashi.

Although she didn't have the ability to speak, but 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, you were separated from the time stream by the illusory clock along 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 abilities 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 ȧssumed in the past, this golden river is a time line, which marks the time that flows in one world, and the time that is born in a new world, after the destruction of the old one.

Phew!!

Yeruashi's body rushed towards the golden river.

This time, compared to the previous completely uncontrolled jump, Yeruashi could partially control the jump range.

He was able to do this thanks to the sixth ability of the illusory clock, discovered in the world of Van Pease-time jump.

As expected, the sixth ability of the illusory clock was ȧssociated with the fifth and fourth.

The fourth ability is understanding the future, the fifth is understanding the past, and the sixth is moving into the past and the future.

But Yeruashi still couldn't fully control his movement in the river of time, let alone return back to the worlds of Naruto and Van Pease, at the moment when they were abandoned.

"But I'm already much closer to true time control..."

Yeruashi whispered and disappeared into the golden river, with many splashes flying in different directions.
