Time Travel, But Not Entirely

Fish-Man Island in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Thump----!

With a sound like falling into water, ripples suddenly appeared somewhere in mid-air, and then Lin Yan fell out from there.

Upside down!

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were bungee jumping here...

Without a doubt.

Even with Lin Yan's current physical condition, falling straight into the sea like that would have been quite a shock for her.

"System, come out here! I promise I won't kill you!"

Fortunately, the constant sound of wind around her helped Lin Yan regain her senses sooner.

I saw myself freefalling towards the sea.

Without thinking, Lin Yan started cursing.

Seeing the sea getting closer and closer, Lin Yan didn't have time to think and quickly activated the power of her Rumble-Rumble Fruit, turning her entire body into an element.

The next second, Lin Yan fell directly into the water.

Fortunately, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit I obtained from the system had no side effects.

Otherwise, Lin Yan might have become the first Devil Fruit User to drown due to an accident.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Because she was immune to physical impact due to her elemental transformation, Lin Yan quickly surfaced from the seawater, her face showing extreme displeasure.

"System! Explain this to me!"

"..."

However, whether it was because they didn't intend to pay attention to Lin Yan, the system remained silent.

It seemed as if he disdained to answer Lin Yan's question.

Lin Yan felt embarrassed for a moment, and then took a look at her surroundings.

Oh, ocean! You are all water...

Before me stretched an endless sea, and in the distance lay the majestic Red Line.

Mary Geoise, the center of power for World Government, is located at the summit of this continent.

The Fish-Man Island that Lin Yan planned to visit was estimated to be a thousand meters below the surface of the sea.

Although the landing was a complete disaster.

Fortunately, the position was correct.

Having confirmed her location, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon...

Lin Yan then noticed the abnormality on her body.

"What is this thing?"

Just as she was about to use the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to escape the seawater, Lin Yan subconsciously glanced at her hands, and then suddenly froze.

What's that dark, unsightly thing?

That's right.

At this moment, Lin Yan was covered in a strange, jet-black substance, which looked like a black cloak.

Not only did they completely conceal their faces, but they even covered their hands and feet.

It was extremely well-covered.

If you didn't know better, you'd think he was the mastermind behind some dark organization.

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

Unable to tear it off, Lin Yan couldn't help but ask.

"System, what is this?"

"An anomaly has been detected in the host's current point in time. The host is now granted the status [Faceless Appearance]."

"The Faceless Appearance?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan slowly typed out a question mark.

Then, perhaps because the system was too lazy to explain, a whole bunch of explanatory text suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yan.

To put it simply...

Lin Yan is not someone who should exist in this time period, so in order to prevent the collapse of spacetime, this special state called the Faceless Appearance came into being.

Her appearance will be concealed, and no one will be able to see Lin Yan's face clearly during this period.

The ability will be concealed. Even if Lin Yan uses the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and Sharingan abilities here, the person's memory of that part will become blurred after Lin Yan leaves.

For example.

For example, if Lin Yan opened a lock, when the witness recalls the incident, they will only remember that Lin Yan opened the lock, but they won't be able to remember whether she opened it with a key or by breaking it.

It's incredibly convenient.

This means Lin Yan can use her abilities without restraint and without worrying about creating any bugs.

Of course, there are problems as well.

"System, if I change history, will anything change when I go back?"

Lin Yan asked somewhat seriously.

This concern is still valid.

Lin Yan didn't want her return to cause any butterfly effect, leading to strange consequences.

"Apart from the parties involved, the rest of the world itself will be responsible for making corrections."

The system explained it very directly.

In other words, even though Lin Yan changed some things and reversed some people's fates here.

After we finish this trip and return home...

Aside from the fact that Lin Yan changed things, the butterfly effect that Lin Yan was worried about will be automatically corrected by the world itself.

Suppose Lin Yan killed Akainu here.

Therefore, Akainu's position as Three Admirals of the Navy will be replaced by others, while Kizaru and Aokiji will remain unchanged.

The world will automatically minimize change.

This is already a significant change.

The impact of some minor incidents is almost negligible.

"I see, then I'm relieved."

Lin Yan nodded with great satisfaction.

He certainly wouldn't kill Akainu here for no reason.

After all, it's not like we can't win if we go back.

With just a little attention to the consequences, I can act completely recklessly here.

I just want to cause trouble!

Leave the rest to the world!

Thinking about this, the resentment she had been holding back from being tricked at an altitude of several thousand meters dissipated considerably, and Lin Yan felt much better.

Just as Lin Yan was about to activate her ability to leave the sea, a shout suddenly came from not far away.

"Brother Fisher Tiger! Look! There's someone who's fallen into the water over there!"

"It's a human!"

Lin Yan was taken aback, then looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Not far away, a pirate ship was heading this way.

However, when Lin Yan saw the ship, her expression changed to one of surprise.

"Fisher Tiger?"

It's like someone bringing you a pillow when you're about to fall asleep.

It's important to know that this Fish-Men played a crucial role in the plan to infiltrate and rob Mary Geoise!

Moreover, putting all that aside, Lin Yan did have some respect for Fisher Tiger himself.

But why is he here?

If Lin Yan remembered correctly...

Fisher Tiger must have been a slave in Mary Geoise for a while, and only after witnessing the darkness of the Celestial Dragons did he decide to rebel and climb up the Red Line with his bare hands.

At that time, he should have looked full of hatred and bitterness...

Even the iconic sun mark on Fisher Tiger's body was specially designed to conceal the Celestial Dragon's Hoof.

But this person now?

Looking at the crimson Fish-Men standing at the bow of the ship, I observed the expression on his face and noticed the absence of his signature sun mark.

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly involuntarily.

A very bad premonition suddenly arose in my heart.

Damn it... what year is it now?!
