The cabins of the warship
Uya Uya stood there quietly, countless images flashing through his eyes. He seemed to be in a strange state, where the flow of time around him was completely different from the flow of time outside.
It all happened in an instant; just as Uya emerged from that state, he heard Ain finish saying the words "Scrap Fruit."
In reality, Uya saw the passage of time in that state!
In a single instant, one can witness countless years!
The Look-Back Fruit, Devil Fruit with no real power, was transformed in Uya's hands into a powerful tool to shake the very fabric of time!
Ain had no idea what kind of ability Uya had acquired in that instant, nor could she see what Uya saw at that moment.
"Scrap Fruit?"
Emerging from that state, just in time to hear Ain's words, Uya couldn't help but chuckle, then shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think."
Without Look-Back Fruit, merely perceiving, observing, and studying it is like trying to catch the moon in a well—you can see it clearly but cannot touch it. However, when Uya truly consumes it, with its power, she will be able to truly scoop the moon from the well!
At this moment, the rules of time seemed incredibly clear to Uya, and strange threads could be seen in his eyes.
These threads are not spatial forms, but exist in the crevices of space in a strange way. After observing the Look-Back Fruit for a long time, Uya thoughtfully touched them with her fingers, actually trying to touch these threads.
In the end, although Uya touched it, she was unable to grasp it in her hand.
"Uh, isn't it a fruit that allows you to see things from past lives? You could have just given this kind of auxiliary fruit, specifically for gathering intelligence, to one of your subordinates."
Ain still looked regretful, clearly feeling extremely sorry that Uya had eaten the Look-Back Fruit, a fruit that was almost useless.
"If you can see it, you can touch it; if you can touch it, you can control it..."
Uya smiled slightly at Ain, and as he spoke, he casually picked up a teacup next to him, placed it in his hands, and gently rubbed them together.
Without a sound, Uya crushed the teacup into powder with his hands, and the powder drifted away.
In the next instant, Uya's eyes suddenly flashed, and he flicked his finger at the powder scattered on the ground.
Buzz!!
This finger strike seemed to hit something, causing the air to buzz and a strange ripple to spread out, Setsuna enveloping the powder on the ground.
Ain watched this scene with a strange expression, but the next moment she suddenly showed a look of shock, because she saw that the powder on the ground suddenly began to shrink strangely while twisting, and then turned into a perfectly intact teacup once again!
This scene was like a rewind of time!
If it were someone else, they might not be sure if it was a time-reversal ability, but as the user of the Return-Return Fruit, Ain, who has the ability to reverse time, is extremely familiar with this power. This is clearly time reversal!
"This... this is impossible... You clearly ate a Look-Back Fruit,' which only allows you to see the past, not to rewind time. Could the Devil Fruit encyclopedia be wrong?!"
A look of disbelief still lingered on Ain's little face.
With a Uya wave of his hand, Uya Uya sent the teacup on the ground flying back into his hand. With another squeeze, the teacup shattered again, only to spring back to life once more.
"What others can't do, I might be able to do. I'm different from everyone you've ever met, and no standards apply to me." Uya chuckled casually as he played with the shattered and then restored teacup.
Hearing Uya's words, Ain's shock subsided slightly. Thinking about all the incredible things Uya had accomplished, she revealed a thoughtful expression.
Uya kept fiddling with the cup, sometimes pondering, sometimes wondering, sometimes lost in thought, before finally revealing a look of sudden realization.
Because Uya didn't eat a Time Fruit, but rather a Look-Back Fruit that didn't inherently possess the ability to control time, Uya's control over time was achieved by forcibly reversing the timeline through her own power.
The advantage of this is that all power is in Uya's hands!
This means that Uya can control time not only in this world, but also in the Hokage world where the rules are different!
"Time reversal, time increment, time stand still... I can only use the power of time reversal, and even then, I cannot reverse excessively long periods of time."
"However, as my strength gradually recovers, the power I can control over time will become stronger, and I can also gradually master the other abilities."
These thoughts kept flashing through my mind, but eventually my thoughts slowly returned to calm.
Uya placed the cup, now restored to its original state, back on the table and casually asked Ain beside her, "How far are we from the next Four Emperors territory?"
We're almost there!
Ain nodded respectfully to Uya.
Upon hearing Ain's reply, Uya casually walked to the porthole, looked out at the sea, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Next up is... Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks!
The sea is vast and boundless, with magnificent waves stretching as far as the eye can see.
Under the close watch of countless forces, Uya's warship finally arrived at the territory of the third Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks.
Now, Uya's every move is under the spotlight, attracting the attention of countless people around the world. Major powers and even the World Government are almost all keeping an eye on Uya.
The warship sailed into the territory of the Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks without any hindrance. There were even people who came to guide it, as if they had received orders in advance.
Uya stood quietly on the deck of the warship, gazing into the distance.
At this moment, Uya's recovered strength had gradually reached one-third of its original level. If there were still people who could resist him before, now, there is truly no one in this world who can resist him anymore.
And then, his strength will recover at an increasingly faster rate until he is fully recovered.
The warships passed through the territory of Red-Haired Shanks, Four Emperors, without any hindrance, and soon arrived at the island at the very center of Red-Haired Shanks' territory. The third of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks, was on this island!
"How will this collision unfold...?"
Some people gazed at the warships anchored on the shore, their eyes filled with awe, muttering to themselves. (To be continued.) 8
