Awakening! Ginny's Glint-Glint Fruit Clairvoyance
Hachinosu.
When Lin Yuan and Ginny came out of the door, Kaido was sitting on the Training Ground eating meat. The moment he saw Ginny, he almost dropped the meat in his hand.
What happened to your eyes?
Ginny's eyes were shining. Not a metaphor, they really were shining—a pale purple light emanated from her pupils, like two tiny light bulbs.
"I ate a fruit." Ginny rubbed her eyes. "It'll be fine in a bit."
"Oh ho ho... what kind of fruit is that? Its eyes are glowing, what can it do? Stare people to death?"
"Pretty much." Ginny, too lazy to explain, turned and walked towards the Castle. "Lin Yuan, I'm going to the Intelligence Room to test my abilities. Don't let anyone disturb me."
What do you need?
"A nautical chart. The bigger the better."
Lin Yuan had Jin retrieve a complete map of the New World from the warehouse and spread it on the floor of the Intelligence Room. The map was three meters wide and two meters long, and it marked all the known islands, shipping routes, and ocean currents.
Ginny sat cross-legged in front of the nautical chart, took a deep breath, and held her fingers in a circle in front of her eyes.
"Clairvoyance."
Her field of vision expanded instantly.
It wasn't a gradual expansion, but rather like an explosion; everything within a 4,000-kilometer radius simultaneously flooded her mind. She saw Pirate Island to the north, Rocks' ship docked in the harbor, the figures on board blurry, but she could count the number of people. She saw Whole Cake Island to the east, Big Mom's Castle gleaming in the sunlight, cakes baking in the kitchen, and she could even "see" the oven's temperature. She saw Marine Headquarters to the west, warships coming and going, and Sengoku's office lights on as he reviewed documents.
There's too much information.
"Shrink," Ginny gritted her teeth, "Focus."
Her field of vision narrowed. She no longer looked at the panoramic view of four thousand kilometers, but locked onto a single direction—north, Pirate Island. She focused on Rocks' ship, penetrating layer by layer through the decks, walls, and ceiling.
She saw Rocks. He was sitting in the captain's cabin, a nautical chart in front of him, a pen in his hand. His lips were moving. Ginny didn't have mind-reading abilities—no, she did now. She focused her attention, Rocks' voice echoed in her mind.
"... Whitebeard is gone, Golden Lion is going solo, and Big Mom is expanding. This ship is about to fall apart. But before it does, I'm going to pull off one big heist."
Ginny's heart skipped a beat.
She looked away, panting heavily.
"What did you see?" Lin Yuan asked, standing at the doorway.
"Rocks. He said Whitebeard is gone, Golden Lion is going solo, and Big Mom is expanding. He said he's going to pull off something big."
"When?"
"He didn't say, but it'll be soon."
Lin Yuan remained silent for a moment.
"Continue. Let's check over there, especially the Big Mom."
Ginny made a circle with her fingers again.
Whole Cake Island. Big Mom's Castle. She pierced through layer by layer until she found Big Mom's room. Big Mom was eating—not just a piece of cake, but an entire table full of food. Several children stood beside her: Perospero, Katakuri, Smoothie... Ginny counted, seven.
The Big Mom's lips were moving.
"... That brat wants me to go to Hachinosu. Well... he's got some nerve. Fine, I'll see what he's got. If he tries anything funny, I'll turn his island into a cake."
Ginny swallowed hard and looked away.
What did she say?
She said... "If you try anything funny, I'll turn Hachinosu into a cake."
Lin Yuan's lips twitched.
"Anything else?"
She said she'd come next month, but didn't specify a date.
"That's enough. You should rest now. Does your eye hurt?"
Ginny blinked. The pale purple light slowly faded, and her pupils returned to their normal color. Her eyes felt a little sore, as if she had been staring at a computer screen all day.
"It's alright. It gets tiring if you use it too much."
"Then practice. Use a little each day, gradually increasing the amount."
Ginny nodded.
Lin Yuan turned to leave, Ginny called him back.
Lin Yuan.
"Um?"
"When I was looking at Rocks just now, I also saw someone else."
"Who?"
"An old man with white hair. Sitting in the room next to Rocks, wearing round-framed glasses and holding a cane." Ginny frowned. "His aura is strange. He doesn't seem alive."
Lin Yuan's fingers paused for a moment.
"Doesn't look like a living person?"
"Yes. His body temperature is very low, and his heartbeat is very slow, only a dozen beats per minute. But he's definitely alive," Ginny said. "I'm not entirely sure. It could be a Devil Fruit ability."
Lin Yuan remained silent for a long time.
"Remember what that person looks like. It'll be useful later."
"Good."
Ginny drew a circle on the map, marking the location of the old man on the Rocks ship.
The "eyes" of Hachinosu have begun to function.
For the next few days, Ginny hardly left the Intelligence Room.
She practiced her Glint-Glint Fruit powers every day, progressing from initially getting tired after a short time to being able to monitor continuously for three hours. Her field of vision shrank from four thousand kilometers to two thousand kilometers—not shrunken, but she learned to filter. She could perceive everything within two thousand kilometers, but only focused on the most important areas: Pirate Island, Whole Cake Island, Marine Headquarters, and Mary Geoise.
"Ginny, dinner's ready." Kuma stood at the door with a tray in his hand.
"Put it there."
Kuma placed the plate on the table but didn't leave. He stood behind Ginny, watching her make a circle with her fingers, his eyes shining.
What are you looking at?
"Look at Mary Geoise."
"What did you see?"
"The Five Elders are having a meeting. Five old men, sitting in a large room, with a large table in front of them. On the table is a document, the cover of which reads..." Ginny narrowed her eyes, focusing on the document, "'A Plan for Dealing with Lin Yuan, the Spatial Ability User'."
Kuma paused for a moment.
"What did you say?"
"I haven't finished watching yet. They just sat down. There was a bald old man talking, his voice was very low, I couldn't hear him." Ginny gritted her teeth and tried to push her eyes forward.
The screen was shaking. The faces of the Five Elders were blurry, and the words on the documents were illegible. Her eyes began to sting, and tears streamed down her face.
"No, that's too far. Two thousand kilometers is the limit; any further and it will be blurry."
She looked away and rubbed her eyes.
Kuma pushed the plate in front of her.
"Let's eat first."
Ginny looked down at her plate: rice, fish, vegetable soup, and an orange.
Where did the oranges come from?
"Jin brought it back from outside."
Ginny picked up an orange, peeled it, and popped a segment into her mouth. It was sweet and sour, very refreshing.
"Kuma."
"Um?"
"What do you think Lin Yuan is really planning to do?"
Kuma remained silent for a moment.
"Change the world."
How to change it?
"I don't know," Kuma said, "But he's doing it. He's better than those who just talk the talk."
Ginny smiled and continued eating her orange.
Evening.
Lin Yuan entered the Intelligence Room, where Ginny was asleep, slumped over a map. Her fingers were still in a circle, her eyes were closed, and her breathing was steady.
Several notes she had written were spread out on the table.
Lin Yuan picked up a card.
Mary Geoise Five Elders Meeting Minutes (Partial):
Discussion Topic: Lin Yuan (Spatial Ability User)
Option 1: Send more CP0 agents to assassinate (rejected, reason: unable to assassinate Spatial Ability Users )
Option 2: Increase the bounty (proposed to 2 billion, but rejected because it would make the World Government seem afraid of him).
Option 3: Observe first, wait for the right opportunity (Accepted by the Five Elders, who believe Lin Yuan is not the biggest threat at present; Rocks is).
Second image:
Pirate Island - Rocks' movements:
Whitebeard has become independent, his fleet has departed, and he has taken Marco and others with him.
• The Golden Lion and Rocks have a quarrel over territory division.
Big Mom has left Pirate Island and returned to Whole Cake Island.
• Rocks has recently been in frequent contact with a mysterious person (whose identity is unknown, body temperature is low, and heart rate is slow).
Third one:
"Whole Cake Island: The Movements of the Big Mom"
• A fleet preparing to head to Hachinosu
• Accompanying personnel: Perospero, Katakuri, Smoothie, Cracker (at least four executives)
Departure time: Morning seven days later
• Expected arrival: 3 days after departure
Lin Yuan put the note back on the table, turned around and walked out of the Intelligence Room.
"Ember."
Ash floated down from the watchtower.
"Exist."
"Guests will arrive in seven days. Prepare to welcome them."
"Clear."
Lin Yuan stood at the Castle gate, looking at the sea.
The Big Mom is coming to Hachinosu. Rocks is planning something big. The Five Elders are watching him.
Ginny's Glint-Glint Fruit allowed him to see the entire chessboard for the first time.
He is not a pawn.
But he's not a chess player either.
He's the one who's going to overturn the chessboard.
