"So the country has already been opened!"
After a long time, Amatsuki Toki collected her mood, gathered information, and pieced together the changes in Wano Country.
But the more she understood, the more doubts she had.
"Does Pluton have the ability to transform? Why did Mom and Dad never mention it?"
Her parents were witnesses to the war of the Great Kingdom and never mentioned that Pluton could transform into a giant.
And that ruler named Loki, domineering and ruthless in his actions, wiping out the resistance army at the slightest disagreement, yet the laws he implemented favored the people.
"To be able to do this, Loki should be an inheritor of the Will of D, right?"
A trace of hope flashed in Amatsuki Toki's eyes.
In the legends she heard since childhood, only inheritors of the Will of D would care about the common people and resist tyranny, just like Joy Boy who once led people all over the world to resist the Great Kingdom.
After much deliberation, Amatsuki Toki finally made up her mind. Instead of guessing aimlessly like this, it would be better to personally meet this ruler who changed the fate of Wano Country, clarify all doubts in person, and understand why she couldn't reach the future.
.....
Flower Capital.
Behind the former Shogun's residence.
"Good stuff, pity there's too little."
Loki sat cross-legged on the ground, examining the red cube in his hand.
Under Loki's gaze, the red cube constantly twisted and deformed, sometimes turning into a thin sheet, sometimes gathering into a sphere, extraordinarily agile.
It was the Poneglyph endowed with a soul by Loki.
After Loki's testing, this thing was indeed full of black technology. Fire, freezing, thunder, and even the previously invincible Conqueror's Haki Infusion attacks couldn't destroy it.
The only drawback was that it was too small.
Completely insufficient to cover Loki's whole body.
"Linlin, here."
Loki handed it to Charlotte Linlin beside him.
It wasn't suitable for him, but it was enough to make a suit of armor for Linlin.
Charlotte Linlin shook her head and didn't take it: "Loki, although this is relatively little, it's enough to defend some key parts. And I am a Mythical Zoan user; you need it more than I do."
"No, you forgot. I have sufficient soul power now. My recovery power is stronger than you imagine."
Loki shook his head.
He now has a soul reserve of millions of years. Unless his soul head is shattered in one blow, recovering from fatal injuries like heart damage is a piece of cake.
"Your safety is more important next. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Loki placed the activated Poneglyph on Charlotte Linlin.
Conspiring with Rocks, this battle will completely ignite the New World.
The intensity of the battle will be the strongest since the establishment of the World Government.
Loki can even accept losing the war.
But he cannot accept Linlin dying in this battle.
Although Linlin's vampire ability was buggy before, it wasn't invincible. If besieged and without a chance to suck blood, she could die.
Not everyone is qualified to activate the group buff of Nika God's sit-ups.
Now with the Poneglyph armor protecting her body, at worst, Linlin can suck blood while taking damage from others.
That is truly standing in an invincible position.
Buzz~
The Poneglyph expanded and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a ferocious and magnificent battle armor, wrapping Charlotte Linlin's whole body firmly inside.
The lines of the battle armor were sharp, covered with complex patterns, reflecting a cold metallic luster. There were sharp protrusions on the shoulders, a hard heart-protecting mirror on the chest, and the skirt turned into a sharp war skirt, balancing defense without affecting movement.
With the armor on, Charlotte Linlin added a touch of valiant charm.
My safety is more important... Charlotte Linlin's mind echoed this sentence. Looking up at Loki, her smile blossoming like a flower, her gaze burning: "Is this an engagement gift?"
"No problem understanding it that way."
Loki nodded slightly, a playful smile appearing on his face, explaining: "If you feel it affects your movement, you can press the dial on the belt, and the armor will disassemble. To use it, just shout 'Scarlet Armor Combine'."
"Then I accept it."
Charlotte Linlin nodded happily.
Thump....
At this moment, Shark's heavy footsteps approached, followed by a loud report: "Your Majesty Loki, there is a woman named Amatsuki Toki, claiming to be the Time-Time Fruit user, coming from eight hundred years ago. She has important intelligence and requests an audience with you."
"Amatsuki Toki? Didn't this woman appear only after Kozuki Oden became an adult? My influence?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Loki's vertical pupils, his thoughts flowing rapidly.
He remembered that in the original timeline, Amatsuki Toki should have appeared in Wano Country after Kozuki Oden became an adult, met Kozuki Oden, married him, and gave birth to Kozuki Momonosuke and Kozuki Hiyori.
But now, Kozuki Oden is only eleven years old, yet Amatsuki Toki appeared early?
"Did my arrival change the trajectory of time and space?"
Loki muttered in his heart, a trace of doubt rising.
His appearance actually affected Amatsuki Toki's time travel, allowing this time traveler from eight hundred years ago to arrive here early.
However, doubts aside, Loki felt more interest.
Amatsuki Toki, Time-Time Fruit user, from the Void Century.
Perhaps, from her mouth, he could get some unexpected information.
A moment later.
Amatsuki Toki passed through the carved beams and painted rafters, the antique palace, and came to the rear. Seeing Loki occupying the entire area clearly, her breathing stagnated slightly.
Especially the moment she met Loki's vertical pupils, a sense of threat close to death rose instantly from the deepest part of her heart, sweeping through her whole body.
That feeling was like a tiny fish inadvertently encountering a Sea King in the deep sea. It was the most primal and instinctive fear of a creature, irresistible and unconcealable.
Amatsuki Toki's body trembled uncontrollably. She subconsciously took a step back, fine cold sweat seeping from her forehead. She gripped the katana at her waist tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force, daring not to breathe loudly, her eyes full of awe and fear.
"Don't be afraid; I don't eat people."
Loki yawned, his gaze moving away from Amatsuki Toki: "Tell me, what exactly happened eight hundred years ago? Causing you to run to the current Wano Country. Were you persecuted by the World Government of that time?"
"Huh?"
Amatsuki Toki's nervousness dissipated a lot: "Yes, Your Majesty Loki. The Amatsuki family followed the Kozuki clan more than eight hundred years ago to fight against the Great Kingdom with Lord Joy Boy. At that time, Wano Country was already considered open, exchanging goods with the outside world."
"But the good times didn't last long. The coalition betrayed Joy Boy and established the World Government, becoming an existence that oppressed the people just like the Great Kingdom. Everything related to Lord Joy Boy was liquidated. Our exiled Amatsuki clan was also listed as targets for pursuit, fleeing everywhere. With no way out, I could only use my ability to flee from that era."
Loki: "Why did you come to this time point eight hundred years later? Eight hundred years is such a long time; any time point in between should be enough for you to escape danger."
Amatsuki Toki was somewhat disappointed: "In the prophecy, the time when Wano Country opens its borders is eight hundred years later. I wanted to go to that era. But now, although my ability exists, I can no longer go to the future."
Unable to go to the intended future? Loki became interested: "Why?"
Amatsuki Toki stated her guess: "Probably because Wano Country has disappeared. After your arrival, the future I wanted to go to has disappeared."
Loki was slightly stunned. I'm not someone who loves drinking beast milk; can I cut off time and space for you?
Wait.
Could it be that the time travel of the Time-Time Fruit requires a beacon as an anchor?
Like Devil Fruits formed by the power of belief ("I think, therefore it is").
Time travel based on "I think"?
Amatsuki Toki is trapped by her own cognition?
