After arriving in the world of Pirate King, although most of his abilities remained functional, some special abilities involving the soul became completely unusable.
For example, the Reaper Death Seal cannot be used in the Pirate King Ninjutsu. Similarly, the Impure World Reincarnation and the Outer Path: Rinne Rebirth are also unusable.
Uya had specifically tried this beforehand.
Now that Uya has mastered the ability to reverse time, he wants to try it out and see if this ability can be replicated by the Outer Path: Rinne Rebirth.
Buzz!!!
As Uya pointed out, the void trembled slightly, and ripples appeared, instantly spreading outwards.
Then, in everyone's eyes, the area of the graveyard suddenly underwent a shocking and strange change.
At the edge of the grave, the weeds that had been growing there suddenly began to shrink back, as if growing in reverse, and all of them retreated into the soil.
"This is..."
Koshiro watched this scene, a look of astonishment flashing across his eyes. He had been wondering what Uya wanted to do with his daughter's grave.
It seems that Uya used the ability to reverse time!
Using the time-reversal ability on Kuina's grave, coupled with Uya's earlier statement about conducting an experiment, caused an instant look of disbelief to appear in Koshiro's eyes.
Could it be that... Uya's so-called experiment was actually...?
Upon thinking of this, Koshiro could no longer maintain his calm expression, and a look of extreme tension finally appeared on his face.
He didn't know why Uya had chosen Kuina, nor did he know if Uya could succeed. That's why he was so nervous, and even a faint glimmer of hope lingered within that nervousness.
On this vast ocean, all sorts of Devil Fruit abilities emerge, including many time-related ones, such as Ain's Return-Return Fruit, which allows her to turn back time.
However, Ain's Devil Fruit cannot resurrect the dead; otherwise, she would have been captured by the World Government long ago and used as a tool to grant immortality to all the Celestial Dragons.
The resurrection of the dead is absolutely impossible in this world.
but...
The one wielding this ability now is Uya!
The resurrection of the dead is a forbidden realm, but Uya is also a deity standing in this forbidden realm. Life and death are irresistible to mortals, but for Uya, who is like a god, perhaps they can truly be reversed!
The void was distorted, and ripples spread continuously.
The images within the ripples were constantly changing in reverse, like a video playing backwards. Soon, as the tombstone suddenly disappeared, the grave began to return to its unbuilt state.
Standing beside Uya, Ain watched this scene with a tremor in her heart. She had never expected that the experiment Uya had casually mentioned was actually an attempt to reverse life and death.
In fact, she could do everything up to this point; she could instantly turn a grave back to its unfinished state, but she couldn't rewrite life and death.
The ability to reverse life and death is absolutely forbidden territory for the gods.
Even Ain couldn't help but watch with extreme nervousness. Although she had already placed Uya's identity in the position of a god in her heart, she was still very nervous and uncertain about this matter.
Buzz!!
Soon, a flash of light appeared, and the tomb had completely vanished.
At that moment, Uya's eyes suddenly flashed, and he abruptly pointed at the scene in the ripples again.
"Certainly!"
Time reversal is an ability that Uya has already mastered, but resurrecting the dead does not actually belong to the ability of time reversal; it should belong to the ultimate power of time, changing the past.
To change a past that should have ended.
Uya has always wanted to master the abilities to change the future and the past, and he is now trying to break the limitations of the time rules to do so.
At this moment, Uya was not only using his time-manipulation abilities to fight against the rules of time, but also seemed to be fighting against the entire world.
boom!!
Suddenly, a powerful aura surged from Uya's body, pressing down in all directions and causing cracks to appear on the earth in Setsuna.
Under this terrifying pressure, even Ain and Koshiro couldn't help but retreat, unable to withstand the immense pressure.
"Is this... the power of God?"
Koshiro watched Uya's retreating figure, a look of shock appeared in his eyes. With just a slight sense, he could feel the power emanating from Uya, which was like a vast starry sky and whose boundaries were impossible to fathom!
Under such power, even he could only feel his own insignificance, as if he were an ant facing a god.
The aura that Uya displayed was earth-shattering, as if it would cause the world to collapse.
At this moment, Uya had already recovered to his peak strength. His power was enough to shatter this world. If he hadn't been forcibly controlling it, the surrounding space would probably have collapsed long ago.
Crack an egg, but mixing the yolk and white together without breaking the shell is an extremely difficult task.
Uya is doing just that.
His power could easily destroy this world, but to break down and rewrite the rules of time without causing damage to the world would be extremely difficult.
"Broken!"
The scene in Uya's eyes was different from anyone else's. In Uya's eyes, the world seemed to have become a strange plane, and this plane was composed of countless lines.
The most complex line, which touches all the other lines, is the line representing the rules of time. At this moment, Uya let out a low shout, and his power directly suppressed all the other rules, then suddenly collapsed.
Silently.
A small section of this line suddenly twisted under Uya's power.
"Still hasn't broken? But this should be enough..."
Seeing that only a small section of the line was distorted, a glint flashed in Uya's eyes, and then he suddenly waved his hand.
Buzz!!
This time, the frozen image suddenly underwent a strange change.
In that scene, a short-haired girl with her eyes closed suddenly floated into the air, her whole body enveloped by a strange power, bathed in golden light, and drifted upwards.
After hovering in mid-air, Uya's gaze became very solemn. Suddenly, he grabbed at the void and pulled backward.
Sizzle!!
It was as if a rift had been torn open between the space and time of the past and the present, and the figure of the short-haired girl, Kuina, directly crossed the boundary of time and came from the past to the present.
If the goal is simply to restore Kuina's body, then of course it doesn't need to be so complicated. It would be as simple as casting a time reversal ability on the grave, something even Ain could do.
However, to resurrect her, the past must be changed, the past that represents her death, or rather, not only her body must be resurrected, but her soul must also be brought back from the past.
This process was somewhat troublesome even for Uya.
But it was eventually completed.
"If we could use the Impure World Reincarnation or the Outer Path: Rinne Rebirth in this world, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble..."
Uya stood amidst the chaotic ripples of time and space, letting the terrifying power of those time ripples and spatial distortions assault him, yet his body remained completely unaffected.
"This is the power to change the past; it is indeed a near-forbidden ability. In a sense, if one could fully master it, it would be even more powerful than my Power of Tremors and swordsmanship."
Looking at the girl with her eyes tightly closed, who had been forcibly brought back from the past to the present, Uya murmured to himself.
What he just did was change the past.
However, he did it by forcibly suppressing all other rules of this world with absolute power, and then forcibly destroying and distorting time.
If he had truly mastered the power to change the past, he could easily do it with just a thought, without needing to go through all this trouble.
Buzz!!
The void ripples continued to spread outwards, as if to throw the surrounding area into chaos and thus affect the entire world.
At that moment, Uya suddenly waved his sleeve, and the chaotic power of time and space that permeated the surroundings was instantly swept away, and the unstable time and space were also instantly suppressed.
Moreover, with a light wave of Uya's sleeve, the shattered earth in all directions began to heal rapidly.
Finally, except for the fact that Kuina's grave had completely disappeared, everything around her returned to its original state.
"Gu... Kuina..."
Koshiro gazed at the face that had flashed through his memory countless times, suspended in mid-air, his eyes welled up with tears, and his voice trembled slightly.
Kuina, who appeared to be only about ten years old, was suspended in mid-air. She remained silent and motionless, and did not respond to Koshiro's voice.
Seeing that Kuina showed no reaction and no signs of life, Koshiro's expression darkened slightly.
So even Uya couldn't reverse life and death?
Not only Koshiro, but even Ain couldn't help but look at Uya with a hint of disbelief, and couldn't help but ask, "Did they fail?"
If Uya could do it, she wouldn't be particularly surprised. On the contrary, if Uya couldn't do it, she would find it hard to believe, since in her heart, Uya was an almost omnipotent god.
Uya stood there, looking at Kuina floating in the air, without turning around, and simply spoke.
"No, it worked."
"It's just one last step away."
