Chapter 424: Time-type Devil Fruit

The country of Wano.

Empty and lifeless ruins.

In the middle of a thicket of weeds, mounds rose, in front of which several tombstones were crookedly nailed.

Kozuki Oden.

Kozuki Momonosuke.

Kin'emon the Fire Fox.

These tombstones, of course, represented the family of Kozuki Oden and his loyal vassals, known as the nine red pods!

"This is..."

"Kozuki Oden's grave..."

Robin whispered softly, looking at the tombstones standing in front of the mounds.

Although during his reign, Kurozumi Orochi tried to discredit Kozuki Oden by any means, but as an archaeologist, Robin could distinguish truth from mere political propaganda.

She was no stranger to the name Kozuki Oden.

On the one hand, she learned a lot of information about the Wano Country from Yeruashi, and on the other hand, she safely stored any available information about the Roger Pirates in her head.

Kozuki Oden was a friend of Golden Roger himself!

When he was one of Roger's Pirates, he had a great reward!

"He should be here."

Yeruashi took a step forward, ignoring Kozuki Oden's grave.

He went to the gravestone next to Oden.

There was an inscription on it: Kozuki Toki.

He looked at the ground behind the tombstone and said calmly, "Toki, Kozuki Oden's wife, came from a Void Century eight hundred years ago. She had a devil fruit ability called Toki Toki no Mi, which is a time-type ability that allows you to travel into the future."

"Ah?!"

Robin was very surprised, "Time travel? is this really possible?"

Since Toki's journey spanned eight hundred years, during all this time, Toki Toki no Mi never appeared in the expanses of this sea.

Therefore, there are no specific records about Toki Toki no Mi.

It belongs to the category of devil fruits, whose existence was only allowed in theory, but could not be confirmed.

"This is only the future, not the past."

Yeruashi shook his head, "It's not that easy to cheat time..."

At the same time, Yeruashi used some of the power of his eyes.

With a sky blue glow in the pupils, the floor of Toki's grave cracked.

A decomposed corpse could be seen in the depths of the open crack.

"Sir?!"

Robin was stunned.

He could not understand why Yeruashi had suddenly destroyed the tomb and retrieved the corpse that had been buried here years ago.

Yeruashi calmly examined Toki's body, "A few years ago, when Oden fell to Kaido and the Kozuki Family was destroyed, Toki used her Devil Fruit ability to send part of the Kozuki Family twenty years into the future..."

As Yeruashi spoke, a pale golden glow, shaped like an illusory clock, shone in the depths of his eyes.

One could vaguely see that the single hand of this clock pointed to the number four.

Yeruashi looked into the future.

Countless layered images appeared before his eyes.

It was like an infinitely expanding tree diagram.

Constant separation and expansion.

The farther away, the more paths reflecting the countless options for future changes.

Yeruashi noticed a strange silk thread that was located outside the expanding tree diagram.

This thread was not one of the infinite options for the future, but ran parallel to them, directly into the future.

"Is this the power of Toki Toki no Mi?"

Yeruashi whispered thoughtfully.

This thread of the finest silk represented people like Kozuki Momonosuke and Kin'emon, wrapped in the power of Toki Toki no Mi and separated from the timeline.

The Toki Toki no Mi ability does not allow you to go directly into the future, but only separates a person from the flow of time.

When the right time comes, the person will simply return to the timeline.

This can be called a journey through space and time.

Yeruashi immediately realized why Toki Toki no Mi allows you to travel only to the future, but not to the past.

Because Toki Toki no Mi simply separates a person from the current time and then returns it when the necessary period of time has passed.

This ability does not affect the time flow of the world in any way!

"I guess I was expecting too much..."

Yeruashi shook his head.

Simply separating himself from the flow of time wasn't such an outstanding ability.

Even he is capable of doing something like that.

This skill is equivalent to imprinting the time type.

It just needs to be sealed by setting the seal to automatically open after a certain period of time.

This devil fruit skill has no meaning for him.

This should also have no special effect on the illusory clock.

"But since we've come here..."

Yeruashi sighed and looked at Toki's body, plotting future events based on it.

He could see how the power of the devil fruit gradually separated from Toki's body, and was finally reborn somewhere in the vastness of the sea.

"I found it."

After a while, Yeruashi whispered, and his eyes focused again.

Toki Toki no Mi will be reborn in the expanses of the sea in about a year, and this will happen in.... North Blue?

This devil fruit is extremely difficult to find, because after finding and eating it, the newly minted owner will try to use his ability immediately.

Therefore, Toki Toki no Mi will disappear from the timeline immediately after finding a new user.

But for Yeruashi, this was not such a difficult task, because he is already aware that Toki Toki no Mi does not allow the user to actually move into the future, but only seals it.

Being the owner of an illusory watch, Yeruashi will be able to find this seal and remove the user from it.

Since this is not a true transfer to the future, then the person will have no hope of escaping as soon as Yeruashi finds it.

"We will go to North Blue in a year."

Yeruashi closed his eyes slightly, disabling the ability to foresee the future, then looked at Toki's body again and whispered, "I showed you disrespect, for the sake of pursuing Toki Toki no Mi..."

"You had the chance to avoid death, but you decided to stay at this moment and die to protect your loved ones. I will not interfere with your decision, but as payment for getting Toki Toki no Mi, I will take care of your daughter..."

After saying that, Yeruashi used some of the power of his eyes to return Toki's body to its place and bury the grave.

After that, Yeruashi turned around and took a leisurely step, at the same time starting to scan the entire Wano Country, with a sky blue glow in his pupils.

"Let's go, Robin."

"We're heading to Kozuki Hiyori..."

Momonosuke and Kin'emon were still separated from that moment, and Yeruashi was not interested in Momonosuke's premature return.

He even had the desire to strengthen the seal so that Momonosuke would be separated from the time of this world before... the end of time.

Wasn't it a blessing to remain a child until the end of time?

Momonosuke should be sincerely grateful that the compensation for receiving Toki Toki no Mi is transferred to his cute little sister Hiyori.
