Wano Country, Oden Castle,
Senga and Kalifa suddenly appeared outside the ruins. Kalifa observed the surroundings and found that there were obvious signs of burning in many places, as well as tombstones. The tombstone in the middle was inscribed with "The Tomb of Kozuki Oden".
Upon seeing the name "Kozuki Oden," Kalifa paused, as she had heard of the name before, having been a former intelligence agent.
"Because this guy went to Laugh Tale with Roger, he's someone the World Government is closely monitoring, "Kalifa asked, looking at the tombstone.
"Boss, is this really the grave of Kozuki Oden?"
Senga smiled and replied.
"Genuine and authentic."
"Unbelievable! He was the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and went to Laugh Tale with Roger. How could someone like that die?"
"It's simple, he was so stupid he died."
"Ah?"
Senga didn't speak again, but simply told Kalifa to stand still outside the ruins. Then, a purple light flashed in his eyes. The next second, Shinra Tensei erupted, and the ruins and the tombstones were crushed into fragments by an invisible Repulsion Force, making the entire area look much more spacious.
That wasn't all. Senga's body also floated up, staring at the open space below. The black ripples in her right Rinnegan began to spread out in circles, and a vast power of Pupil Power was brewing within them.
Finally, the strange phenomena in the Rinnegan stopped, and Senga's gaze locked onto the empty space below. He used the Dojutsu of his right Rinnegan, the Year God Power.
A gray vortex covering the entire open space appeared and began to rotate clockwise. Suddenly, several beams of light appeared. Upon seeing this, Senga stopped outputting her Pupil Power, and the gray vortex, deprived of the support of her Pupil Power, quickly dissipated.
The beams of light quickly dissipated, revealing five people: four large and one small.
Looking at the five people who appeared below, Senga nodded. Just as he had thought.
The five people below are Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Kiku, Raizo, and Momonosuke, who were transported to the future by Kozuki Toki's Time-Time Fruit ability when Oden Castle was burned down.
Regarding Kozuki Toki's Time-Time Fruit ability, it is described as being able to teleport the Ability User or others to the future, but not to the past.
As a "Time-Time Fruit," yet unable to freely travel through time, it is clearly another fruit whose name has misled it.
Senga speculates that the so-called teleportation to the future is more like freezing the time in which the Ability User is located, and then releasing the ability when the time required by the Ability User is reached, allowing the Ability User and others to appear, thus achieving the effect of "traveling to the future".
Senga's right eye's Dojutsu, the Year God Power, is precisely what accelerates the flow of time in a certain space. Although the area around Oden Castle is a bit large, accelerating time by just over ten years is nothing for Senga with her current Pupil Power.
The actual results validated Senga's conjecture; the five people, including Momonosuke, who appeared below are the best example.
At this moment, Momonosuke and the others were looking around in bewilderment, because the environment here was so different from what they had imagined.
When they were taken away by Kozuki Toki, this place was burned down by the Beasts Pirates, but what kind of fire could burn this area so cleanly? How could it leave not a single trace?
However, after looking for a long time, they couldn't find anything familiar, only Kalifa standing alone in the distance.
Upon seeing Kalifa, Momonosuke and Kin'emon's lecherous tendencies resurfaced. The guard poked Momonosuke's head and said...
"Young Master, judging from that woman's attire, she should be from Wano Country. You are a child, go and ask her what year it is and what has happened in the past."
He hasn't yet pretended to be Momonosuke's son, so he addresses him as "Young Master."
The Lord of Peach agreed and immediately put on a pitiful expression as he approached Kalifa. Once he was in front of Kalifa, he even started to act coquettishly.
"Big sister, we were attacked by bandits outside, and we barely managed to escape back here. Could you tell us what time it is now?"
Kalifa frowned Momonosuke in front of her. As a former special agent, she could tell at a glance that the little guy's motives were impure.
As expected, seeing that Kalifa didn't react, Momonosuke immediately tried to reach out and pull at the hem of Kalifa's kimono, intending to continue to take advantage of his childishness.
However, Kalifa wouldn't tolerate his behavior. In her eyes, the only man in the world who could touch her was her boss; no one else, not even a child, was allowed!
She kicked Momonosuke directly in the face. Before Momonosuke could react, he was kicked back. Fortunately, Kin'emon was quick-witted and caught him. Raizo and the others nearby also rushed over.
Seeing Momonosuke's pained expression and the dark wooden clog marks on his face, Kin'emon and the others were instantly enraged. This was Oden's bloodline! How dare this woman do such a thing!?
Kin'emon was a person who deeply respected the concept of "male superiority over female," and he was even more furious to see Momonosuke being kicked like that by a woman.
He drew his katana, and flames inexplicably ignited on the blade. He was, after all, the leader of the Scabbard Nine. Although his strength was average, he was smart enough, at least smarter than that idiot Oden.
Kalifa's kick was incredibly fast; she was clearly no ordinary person. He had automatically assumed Kalifa was one of Kurozumi Orochi's subordinates, as he remembered that guy had a thing for beautiful women.
Thinking of this, he suddenly swung his knife, and a ball of flame flew towards Kalifa. Facing the incoming flame, Kalifa did not dodge, because she knew that since that guy dared to attack her, the boss would definitely not stand idly by.
Sure enough, a figure descended from the sky, scattering the flames with a wave of his hand; it was none other than Senga, who had been watching the show from above.
When Chiga saw Kalifa kick Momonosuke away, Senga burst out laughing. Kalifa really doesn't tolerate these little brats. He couldn't help but think of Hancock. If it had been her, Momonosuke would probably be in an even worse situation right now.
Senga originally wanted to continue observing the situation, but since Kin'emon dared to attack his little secretary, that guy was practically sentenced to death.
Kin'emon's heart tightened as he watched Senga suddenly descend from the sky. This man who had suddenly appeared was clearly in cahoots with that woman, and his strength was terrifying!
He's seen a lot in his life, so he has that kind of observational ability.
A puff of black smoke rose from Senga's hand. He stared at Kin'emon with the look of someone staring at a dead man, and said in an icy tone,
"I heard you can cut through flames, how about giving this a try?"
After saying that, a black flame spread from Senga's palm, transforming into a vast sea of black fire that rushed towards Kin'emon.
Kin'emon's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat. The eerie black flames gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, but with such a massive flame rushing towards him, he couldn't dodge it. He could only grit his teeth and use his "Foxfire Style" to try to cut the Black Flame in half.
However, this time, his blade froze into ice the instant it touched the Black Flame, and the next second it was shattered into fragments by the extremely low temperature. Kin'emon's pupils contracted, and he shouted.
"Oh no! Quickly..."
Before he could finish shouting, the black flames engulfed him. In just a few seconds, the Black Flame dissipated, and a human-shaped ice sculpture appeared where Kin'emon had just been.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the ice sculpture turned into a clump of sparkling ice shards and vanished into the air.
