When the Return-Return Fruit's power hits the Wang Shi.
Wang Shi quickly transformed into a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
"Would it be so standard 12 years ago?"
Wang Shi felt the energy of the Return-Return Fruit's power. It only happens once every 12 years—what's the reason behind that?
Is it a cycle of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals?
"Your abilities were set 12 years behind from the very beginning?"
Young Wang Shi asked with a serious expression. After all, he had been turned into a little kid and an old man by Bonney many times before, so he was very familiar with this kind of age change.
"Actually, no. The limit of the Return-Return Fruit's power isn't 12 years; it's just that I've only developed it to this extent so far."
"When I first obtained this Devil Fruit power, I could only go back about two and a half years."
"It took me 12 years to reach this point, thanks to my development efforts."
Ain slowly began to explain.
"Tsk, this talent is a bit lacking."
"The Devil Fruit User, who is only 9 years old, can freely control a person's age from one to ninety."
"The power of the Ripe-Ripe Fruit can easily make a child grow up permanently by 20 years..."
"Also, can you freely control the regression from two and a half to twelve years, or is it that once the development reaches this level, the regression is limited to twelve years?"
Wang Shi glanced at Ain calmly; the evaluation of this Return-Return Fruit ability seemed to need further assessment.
"The power of the Age-Age Fruit? The power of the Ripe-Ripe Fruit?"
Ain's eyes widened; this must be Devil Fruit ability of the same type as hers.
Is everyone else better than me?
"Actually, I can control time freely. If I can just rewind 12 years at a time, I won't need to rewind so many times to shrink or make the enemy disappear."
"If you could develop something that goes back 24 or 36 years... that would be somewhat interesting."
Wang Shi activated his Toki Toki no Mi ability to draw parallels to and imitate the Return-Return Fruit ability, attempting to develop his own way of reversing time.
If we cannot reverse time, then we can reverse the time of objects, which will not cause a backlash of causality in time and space.
"If I hadn't focused all my energy on physical techniques and Haki instead of not wanting to disappoint Teacher Zephyr, I could have developed even more advanced techniques."
Sensing Wang Shi's disregard, Ain immediately began to argue.
In fact, Ain's physical skills and Haki talent were not high, but in order to make Zephyr happy, she spent more time training in physical skills and Haki.
As a result, the Return-Return Fruit's power was left behind.
In short, while her physical skills and Haki are currently inferior to Shuzo's, and her Return-Return Fruit ability is rather weak, her overall combat strength is still stronger than Shuzo's.
"Your talent doesn't lie in physical skills; you should focus on developing your abilities in the future."
"Working hard in areas you're not good at can indeed make up for a lack of talent, but it will also waste more of your time."
"It would be better to improve our strengths first, and then work on our weaknesses later."
"After all, not everyone is an all-around genius who can excel in everything."
After experiencing the power of the Rewind -Return-Return Fruit, Wang Shi unleashed his Haki and easily dispelled Ain's rewind ability.
This was even easier than unlocking Bonney's Timeless Ability.
It seems Bonney's talent is much higher than Ain's.
Bonney truly lives up to her title as the youngest Supernovas.
"..."
Ain remained silent, focusing on physical skills and Haki to avoid disappointing Professor Zephyr.
"Fine, if you and Zephyr can't hold on any longer, remember to come find me."
Wang Shi could tell what the girl was thinking just by looking at Ain's expression.
It seems that Zephyr and his disciples, Ain, have actually become a burden to each other.
Expectations and the desire to live up to their expectations, the tension between revenge and guilt weighed heavily on their hearts.
Ain and the others didn't want to disappoint the old and missing-armed Zephyr blamed himself for not being able to defeat the enemy and save everyone.
He compensated his guilt over the fallen recruits by placing it all on these two disciples.
Wang Shi told Tashigi to take Ain out for a walk to clear her head, and to leave in a couple of days.
After all, we need to make amends to Tashigi tonight, and then have someone bring the funding for the Pirate Guerrilla to Jaya, so that Ain and Zephyr's secretly cultivated loyal followers can take over these Seastone Warships and weapons.
After the two women left, Wang Shi had Laffitte bring Foxy over.
"Don't kill me! I surrender! I give you the flag, you give me the pirate ship! I'll join you!"
Foxy was nearly paralyzed with fear; the Daimyo of the Emperor of Exile was truly legendary.
The decapitation of the Emperor of Exile Wang Shi the pierced mummies of the Duke of Impalement Aramaki are new and terrifying legends of this sea.
He didn't want to be beheaded for no reason and turn into a dried-up corpse!
"Quiet!"
Wang Shi spoke coldly, and with just one look, Foxy stopped abruptly, like a duck being choked.
With a single glance from the Seven-Star Dragon Emperor, Foxy's eyes glowed red.
"Activate your abilities," Wang Shi ordered directly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
'Slow Slow Beam!'
Once quiet, Foxy made a specific hand gesture and emitted waves of pink light towards Wang Shi.
As the light waves touched his body, Wang Shi felt as if the whole world had stopped.
Even my thinking has slowed down.
"This power..."
"So charming..."
Wang Shi was captivated by this power of time, a power Wang Shi craved and fascinated even more than the abilities of the Age-Age Fruit and the Return-Return Fruit.
Thirty seconds later, the Slow-Slow Fruit's power faded, and Wang Shi recovered on his own.
"This is more in line with the power of time manipulation..."
Wang Shi licked his lips and immediately had Foxy activate his ability again.
He was once again drawn into the power of the Slow-Slow Fruit.
As Wang Shi's bodyguard, Spaden watched as he endured the power of these Devil Fruit one after another, his mind filled with a host of questions.
Yixiao, Capone Bege, Laffitte were all equally puzzled.
That's all.
Wang Shi was constantly immersed in Foxy's Slow-Slow Fruit ability.
Until Foxy was exhausted from constantly using his abilities.
Then it was Ain's turn to take over.
Wang Shi didn't finish his 'research' on the power of time until evening.
Daddy Masterson and his daughter didn't even have time to meet with the Wang Shi.
That night, Wang Shi and the others did not return to Sky Island, but instead spent the night on Jaya.
Wang Shi spent a tender night with Tashigi after months of separation.
The next day.
Through Tashigi's introduction, Wang Shi met Daddy Masterson and his daughter.
"A talent that grants faster speed and attack speed the more excited one becomes?"
After getting to know her better, Wang Shi felt that the girl had good talent and allowed the father and daughter bounty hunters to join them.
They were allowed to travel to the New World under the identity of the Goa Empire.
At their request and driven by their dreams, Wang Shi sent them to the Silver Island in the New World to become squad leaders of the Silver Fortress, granting them the right to act freely.
Wang Shi also gave them a task.
Aren't they looking for Yasopp?
Then let them keep an eye on the Red Hair Pirates and report their location information at any time.
Let the father and daughter stick to Yasopp; believe that the Red Hair Pirates won't kill Daddy Masterson Mastason, an old acquaintance from the East Blue, or Daddy Masterson La, for no reason.
Wang Shi's casual attitude greatly disappointed Daddy Masterson La; it seemed she still hadn't caught Wang Shi's eye.
Another dream has been added to her young heart.
Besides helping her father challenge Yasopp again, she also needs to grow up, become beautiful and strong, and become a famous bounty hunter until she attracts the attention of the Wang Shi.
Daddy Masterson La watched Wang Shi's retreating figure, she thought to herself, "You'll regret ignoring this beautiful girl today, you blind, lecherous emperor!"
