The vast ocean stretched to the horizon, its surface shimmering in the sunlight. On this open sea, a warship was sailing.
Inside the uppermost compartment of the warship.
Uya was sitting in a recliner with his eyes closed, resting. Several months had passed since he arrived in this world. After defeating Whitebeard, the warship had sailed smoothly toward the Red Line and was now almost there.
During this period, Uya's strength has recovered to nearly 60%, and the recovery speed is getting faster and faster. It is estimated that when it recovers to 10%, the recovery speed will increase significantly.
Of course, compared to this world, even just six-tenths of his power would be enough to sweep everything away. Even those Ancient Weapons that are said to be able to destroy the world would probably be difficult to contend with Uya's power of less than one-tenth, after all, there is a gap of one realm between Uya and this world.
In addition, Uya's research on the power of time has entered a new stage.
Besides reversing time, Uya can now also accelerate time, making a localized period of time Setsuna, a year in the blink of an eye.
However, the acceleration of time had no effect on Uya himself, nor could it be used to help him recover his power. After all, his power surpassed the Six Paths and was the chaotic power capable of creating and destroying worlds. Even if it was not higher than the power of time, it was still equivalent to the power of time.
Since there is such a thing as time acceleration, there must also be time deceleration. Right now, Uya is idly researching time deceleration.
When time slows down to its absolute limit, it is essentially time standing still.
Uya was somewhat interested in the ability to stop time, but more importantly, after mastering all the abilities related to controlling the flow of time, she wanted to extend that to... changing the future and changing the past!
Uya initially pursued these two powers, but he wasn't sure if cultivating the power of time to its extreme would grant him the ability to change the future or even the past.
After all, in Uya's memories, changing the future should be the power of Yhwach, the Yhwach Quincy of the Shinigami world, while this world is just the One Piece world.
Finding a specific world in the vast void is too difficult, and Uya has no intention of looking for other worlds, especially since his power has not yet fully recovered.
Even if he fully recovers his power, Uya will return to the Hokage world first. Perhaps one day when he gets really bored, he will go to the Endless World to find some fun.
Of course, rather than searching for a world, Uya would rather create one.
Back in the Hokage world, Uya absorbed some of Princess Kaguya's abilities and combined them with his own power, thus creating his own space.
However, that space was too small to be called a world at all; it was at most slightly more refined and perfect than Princess Kaguya's six spaces.
Instead of wanting to go somewhere, why not create such a place?
Ordinary people would not have such thoughts, but as a god who is immortal and indestructible, Uya's thoughts are naturally different from those of ordinary people.
"Elements, space, time... establishing rules..."
With her Uya closed, Yu Ye's mind was filled with images that seemed to depict the world collapsing and being reborn, both awe-inspiring and magnificent.
Suddenly, Uya opened his eyes, casually picked up a Devil Fruit from the table beside him, and murmured, "The rules of this world are quite interesting; there are many things we can learn from them."
This Devil Fruit was something I acquired casually before, specifically for research purposes, but it has now lost its research value. Through it, Uya has gained a deeper understanding of the power of Devil Fruit.
Now, Uya can even simulate the power of something like Sugar's Hobby-Hobby Fruit or Perona's Hollow-Hollow Fruit.
With a flick of Uya wrist, Devil Fruit to wither abruptly, then quickly turn to dust, finally scattering and disappearing.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Commander Uya."
Ain, who had just entered, bowed respectfully to Uya and then walked up to Uya.
She was holding a document in her hand, and after handing it to Uya, Uya gave him an admiring look and said, "Commander Uya, this is your letter of appointment from the World Government..."
"Letter of Appointment?"
Uya glanced at the document, casually tossed it onto the table, and showed an expression of complete disinterest.
Seeing Uya's action, Ain immediately showed a speechless expression, rolled her eyes, and said, "Commander Uya, that's the World Government's letter of appointment as the Commander-in-Chief of the entire army!"
In the navy, the highest level of power is undoubtedly held by the three admirals and the fleet admiral, and the fleet admiral is usually a former admiral.
However, the Fleet Admiral is only in charge of the Navy. Above the Fleet Admiral is the position of the World Government's Commander-in-Chief.
The current Fleet Admiral is Kong the Steel Bone, also the former Fleet Admiral. Before the Great Pirate Era began, Kong was the Fleet Admiral, while Sengoku was the Admiral. Later, Sengoku succeeded as Fleet Admiral, and Kong was promoted to Fleet Admiral.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is superior to the Admiral of the Navy, and his status is second only to the Five Elders. He has command authority over almost all forces of the World Government.
The Five Elders originally wanted to give Uya a position equivalent to that of a Marine Admiral, but after Uya defeated the Four Emperors one after another and even cut off nearly half of the Grand Line with a single sword, demonstrating a power that humans could not match, the Five Elders unanimously decided to add the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Marines.
This position is not lower than that of the Commander-in-Chief of the All-Army, but rather equal in rank. The only difference is that the Commander-in-Chief of the All-Army can directly mobilize various forces of the World Government, while Uya, as the General of the All-Army, does not have such great power.
Equal status, diminished power.
This is also a tactic employed by the Five Elders, demonstrating sufficient respect and goodwill towards Uya Uya simultaneously limiting Uya power.
"Not interested."
Uya said indifferently that he didn't care about power or anything like that at all; even if the whole world were given to him, he wouldn't care.
Power is meaningless before a god whose power surpasses that of the world.
"..."
Ain was speechless at Uya's attitude. In her opinion, this was almost an unparalleled honor, but Uya was so indifferent to her.
Walking up behind Uya, Ain reached out her small hand and began massaging Uya's Uya while saying, "Um, Commander Uya, you only need to go to the Holy Land Mary Geoise to take over the position directly. It's not troublesome at all."
Although Ain's pursuit of power intensified after witnessing Uya's awe-inspiring strength, she was, after all, a Marine and a former apprentice of Admiral Zephyr. Faced with such honor and status, she couldn't be as indifferent as Uya.
Uya said lazily, "Going to the Holy Land? That's troublesome enough already."
Hearing Uya's words, Ain couldn't help but roll her eyes.
We're almost at the Red Line. The journey back to Marine Headquarters and to Holy Land Mary Geoise is almost the same, because Marine Headquarters and Mary Geoise are very close. Mary Geoise is above the Red Line, while Marine Headquarters is not far from Mary Geoise and the Sabaody Archipelago.
Uya clearly didn't care about his position as the Supreme Commander of the entire army.
However, upon further reflection, Ain felt an even greater admiration for Uya. Possessing such immense power yet disregarding status, such a person possessed an incredibly strong personal charisma.
In addition, Uya 'Uya demeanor and appearance were almost unmatched by anyone Ain had ever seen. However, the gap in their status was too great, so Ain did not have the idea of actively pursuing Uya. As long as she could follow Uya, Ain was already satisfied.
Just as Ain was absentmindedly massaging Uya's shoulders, while Uya continued studying the rules of time with his eyes closed, a sudden disturbance occurred in the sea outside the porthole! (To be continued.)
