Not yet! I feel like something's missing!
Ain's initially cheerful face fell instantly upon seeing Vic, and she looked somewhat dejected. She had eaten Devil Fruit when she was very young, and Vic often told her how to develop this ability!
But more than a decade has passed, and she has spent a lot of time in the illusion. She has grown up and matured, but her Devil Fruit ability remains stuck and cannot Awakening!
She could only focus more on training in Haki, and now she has made some progress in the field of Haki, but her Devil Fruit ability is... well, let's just say it's not that great!
"I see!"
"You should go back first. I'll think about how to help you!"
Vic decided to help Ain resolve this mental burden before he could delve into the Law of Space, but he didn't have any good ideas at the moment, so he could only send Ain away and think about it alone!
After returning to his residence, Vic sent away all his companions who came to see him, finally having time to think quietly. Afterward, he even entered a dream world!
Vic activated time acceleration within the illusion, multitasking to maintain the illusion's operation while simultaneously contemplating the path to Awakening the Return-Return Fruit!
Vic recalled his initial assessment of Ain's Devil Fruit was called the Return-Return Fruit, Vic had never considered it as a one-way output.
Just like Rebecca's Float-Float Fruit, since it can increase or decrease gravity to float and sink from the beginning, why can't it increase gravity to a level greater than the gravity of this planet? Can't the Float-Float Fruit be transformed into Press-Press Fruit?
Later, after learning the secrets of the God Realm, he realized that his assumption was correct. As long as he dug deeper, he could trace back to the source and reach the end of the Laws, and then comprehend the entire Laws!
Therefore, Vic now needs to trace the Return-Return Fruit of the Rewind Fruit to see what Laws it belongs to. Once this is understood, Awakening it will be much simpler!
Tracing the origins of the Return-Return Fruit isn't actually that difficult. First, consider Bonney's Age-Age Fruit ability, since the Age-Age Fruit is considered a superior version of the Return-Return Fruit, which has the ability to age or shrink people!
Vic also heard from Kuma that Bonney can now corrode metal quickly, such as corroding door locks to sneak out and eat. What is this? This is actually the power of time. The origin of the Age-Age Fruit and the Return-Return Fruit is the Laws of Time!
"No wonder it's so difficult. It turns out it's a branch of the Laws of Time, ultimately pointing to the Laws of Time. It's no wonder that Awakening it is so difficult!"
How old is Ain? Has she truly felt the subtle, pervasive passage of time? Has she truly witnessed the vicissitudes of life?
How can one have a deep understanding and insight if they haven't experienced it firsthand? It's no wonder she can't Awakening; perhaps I haven't cared for her enough!
When a person thinks quietly, they can quickly sort things out. If the route, method, and steps are correct, then the correct result will not be far away. Vic figured out the problem in a short time!
This is what it means to see things from a higher perspective—quick and clear. If Vic weren't God Realm powerhouse, if he didn't even know about the existence of Laws and was still stuck in the confines of Devil Fruit abilities, who knows how long it would have taken him to understand these things!
When Vic's consciousness left the illusion, less than an hour had passed in the outside world. Vic then used his telepathic ability to call Ain over. Ain didn't expect Vic to have an answer so quickly and excitedly ran over!
Without a word, Vic pulled Ain into the illusion. Wasn't it just to witness the passage of time and the changing of the world?
In his previous life, Vic had watched countless videos of the rapid passage of time, as well as videos of changes in Earth's landscape. He had even seen the rapid changes in the universe over billions of years. To weave such a story into a fantasy world was far simpler than making a movie or creating special effects!
And so Ain witnessed a breathtaking, epic transformation—the historical evolution of the relationships between humanity and nature, humanity and the nation, humanity and society, humanity and animals, animals and nature, and humanity and humanity!
Thousands of years of change, countless lives and deaths, the rise and fall of dynasties, the erosion and Assimilation of cultures— Ain was utterly shocked and completely stunned!
After leaving the illusion, Ain Awakening her ability to regress in less than a month. She had been stuck there for many years, but now that she understood her ability better, taking it a step further was not so difficult!
Unlike Haki, which requires gradual accumulation, Haki Fruit abilities can be developed very quickly if your thinking is correct and your ideas align with the essence of the Devil Fruit ability. You might even Awakening it in a year!
Just like the teleportation ability that Vic recently acquired, even though he doesn't have the same talent for being close to the Laws as Nami, his development direction is directly aimed at the Law of Space, so his speed is naturally not slow. Vic only took a few months to Awakening his teleportation ability. The higher you stand, the farther you can see!
" Fisher Tiger! How's Shirahoshi doing? Is the communication with the Sea Kings going smoothly?"
Vic couldn't stay secluded and study the Laws forever; he still had to show himself occasionally. After Ain's Devil Fruit power Awakening, he went out to attend a celebration banquet, during which he asked Fisher Tiger about the mermaid princess Shirahoshi's situation.
It has been almost three years since Shirahoshi first communicated with the Sea Kings. This period of time is not long, but it is not short either. Even if you were to learn a new language, this would be enough time!
" Princess Shirahoshi! Ever since she learned that you needed her ability to communicate with the Sea Kings, she has been trying to find that feeling she had when she first communicated with Sea Kings!"
At first, it was intermittent, but now she has completely mastered the ability to communicate with Sea Kings. However, she is somewhat troubled because the Sea Kings always address her as "Queen!"
Fisher Tiger has already returned to his true form. Not only has his own strength increased, making him unafraid of retaliation from the World Government, but the Thunder God Pirates are also too strong. They can protect not only him but also Fish-Man Island, so he has nothing left to hide now!
"It seems Neptune is hiding something from you! But you can't blame him, this is too important. He hasn't even told his own daughter. If this gets out, Shirahoshi will be in a very dangerous situation!"
Have you heard of the Three Ancient Weapons? Uranus, Poseidon, and Pluton. Poseidon, the king of all Sea Kings, can command Sea Kings to do anything, even risk their lives without hesitation.
The king of the Sea Kings descends to earth every four hundred years in the form of a mermaid, and Shirahoshi is the current Poseidon —Poseidon!
Neptune already knew about this; it's clearly documented by the royal family, so you don't need to worry about Shirahoshi, as long as she can communicate well with the Sea Kings!
Fish-Man and mermaids play a significant role in the sea, but Sea Kings play an even greater role. Their enormous size makes them excellent choices for both transporting supplies and as weapons of war, far superior to warships!
" Poseidon! Shirahoshi is actually the Poseidon! No wonder all the Sea Kings listen to her!"
Fisher Tiger had certainly heard of the Ancient Weapon, but he never imagined that Poseidon would have such a close connection with their Fish-Man Island. He finally understood why Vic valued Princess Shirahoshi so much!
