The Holy Land Mary Geoise, the World Government.
This is the core of the world's highest power, the World Government composed of more than two hundred countries, which is controlled by five old men of different heights, weights and builds sitting here.
They are the Five Elders.
" Uya's strength is estimated to be at the level of a Marine Admiral, perhaps even higher. His Devil Fruit ability is speculated to be some kind of space-time Devil Fruit, granting him the ability to Intangibility, making him impervious to attacks even with Armament Haki."
The portly Five Elders, sitting there with a piece of intelligence in his hand, pondered for a moment before looking at another Five Elders beside him and asking, "What do you think?"
" Sengoku did the right thing. Uya's strength is unknown, so keeping him calm is the best option, given that he possesses the strength of a Marine Admiral."
"However, space-type Devil Fruit are not without their weaknesses. Devil Fruit abilities are mutually reinforcing and restraining; there is always an ability that can counter them. Moreover, the so-called 'unsolvable' nature might just be due to a lack of understanding of the specific circumstances. There are no truly unsolvable Devil Fruit in this world."
"That's right. So what if he has the strength of a Marine Admiral? Even if he were a little stronger, he would still be within our control. If we discover that Uya has any ambitions, we can take immediate action."
The Five Elders spoke one after another, their tone calm and composed, showing no sign of apprehension at Uya's appearance.
After all, having sat in this position for decades, overlooking this vast ocean, they have witnessed countless powerful and formidable Devil Fruit abilities, yet no one has ever been able to overthrow the World Government or shake their power.
"However, when it comes to Devil Fruit with no solution, there might actually be some, like that one..."
"Hmm, you mean that one? That fruit only exists in legends, it has never appeared, and even we haven't found any trace of it. Paramecia... the Time Fruit!"
Marine Headquarters.
In Admiral Akainu's office, Akainu was sitting there pondering over a document when his adjutant entered, saluted him, and placed a new document in front of him.
Akainu glanced at it and immediately frowned.
What's going on?
"Reporting to your command, sir. This is Sengoku Sengoku's instruction, which has already been submitted to the World Government. It's not a request for your opinion, but a direct notification to you."
"Snort!"
Upon hearing this, Akainu's face darkened, and he let out a heavy snort, saying, "This guy, whose background is completely unknown, has suddenly become a Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, truly..."
The news that Uya and Hawk-Eye had fought to a draw was heard by almost all the top experts on this sea, Akainu was naturally aware of it as well, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, today, Akainu suddenly received news that Uya had become a Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, and a special one at that, so that even he was not qualified to give orders to Uya, which made him extremely dissatisfied.
In Akainu's view, the Navy represents Absolute Justice, and it's ridiculous that someone like Uya suddenly joined the Navy!
"Fine, but if this guy dares to do anything against justice, the Navy absolutely doesn't need such a cancer. I'll deal with him myself!"
Every admiral in the Marine Headquarters has a private office, as does the Fleet Admiral. However, very few vice admirals in the Marine Headquarters have private offices, and Uya is one of them.
The room was spotless and tidy, with wooden floors and tables and chairs. Uya was sitting there, surrounded by Armament Haki.
The Marine Headquarters naturally has methods for cultivating Haki, and they are extremely sophisticated. Uya had previously only imitated and cultivated his own Haki by analyzing Hawk-Eye's Armament Haki. Moreover, due to his physical condition, the Armament Haki he cultivated was extremely strong, making it difficult to control.
After obtaining the Marine Headquarters' methods for mastering Haki and conducting research, Uya gradually gained complete mastery of Armament Haki.
Although he cannot yet cover his entire body with Armament, he can already cover his fists or sword with Armament.
Uya's Armament Haki is almost ridiculously strong. If it were to cover his entire body, there would probably be very few people in the world who could break through his defenses.
Moreover, even if Uya's Armament is broken, it's impossible to harm Uya's body.
"A month has passed in the blink of an eye. My strength has only recovered a little bit, but if this continues, the recovery speed should get faster and faster."
Having dissipated his Armament Haki, Uya sensed the state within his body and pondered deeply.
If his original strength was less than a fraction of his peak, then now it's about a fraction and a half. Although he only recovered half a fraction in a month, even that fraction of strength is enough to crush a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral!
And when combined, it's not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Almost no one in this world can hurt Uya, which means that Uya's defense is beyond its limit, while his attack power is slowly recovering.
However, even after fully recovering, Uya is not in a hurry to leave this world, because Uya suddenly discovered something some time ago.
At Marine Headquarters, Uya naturally had access to the Devil Fruit encyclopedia. In her previous life, Uya had been quite curious about this stuff, so she specifically sought it out and looked through it.
As Uya was looking through the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, a question suddenly occurred to him.
This world... has Devil Fruit that can control time!
Even someone as powerful as Uya, whose realm is almost godlike, still cannot touch the realm of time. However, in this world, there are many Devil Fruit that can access the power of time.
For example, Return-Return Fruit, Slow-Slow Fruit, and so on.
Of course, these are just branches of the time system. The most original one is the Time Fruit, which only exists in legends and has never appeared in history!
The power of time is Uya also greatly desires. If Uya cultivates Haki merely because he finds it interesting, it doesn't significantly improve his strength.
Swordsmanship, on the other hand, can slightly enhance Uya's strength, allowing Uya to handle more situations, such as dealing with Momoshiki Otsutsuki, who absorbs energy and Chakra.
The power of time is definitely a forbidden area. Once Uya can truly master it, the improvement it will bring him will be far more than just a little bit!
This was something Uya suddenly thought of while looking through the Devil Fruit encyclopedia.
Originally, Yu Ye only came to this world to pass through and take a short rest, but the discovery that there was hope of gaining the power to control time in this world finally made Uya take it seriously!
Instead of personally venturing out to search the world, Uya relied on the Navy's intelligence network to gather information about all time-related Devil Fruit, whether they were possessed by Devil Fruit users or were not yet consumed.
The first one they found was Ain, the user of the Return-Return Fruit.
Ain is one of the students of former Marine Admiral Zephyr, who lived in the same era as Zephyr and Sengoku, and is also the teacher of the current three Marine Admirals: Kizaru, Aokiji, and Garp Akainu.
Zephyr has not yet completely lost faith in the Navy and is still training new recruits at the recruit camp, while Ain has just graduated from the recruit camp and is currently a Navy lieutenant commander.
"The user of the Return-Return Fruit, Ain..." (To be continued.)
