Chapter 449: The Future

Somewhere in the East Blue, five large Navy ships were sailing.

On one of the ships, in a spacious cabin, Garp sat at a table with a newspaper in his hand.

He picked up the cookies from the table and raised his hand, putting them in his mouth.

Before long.

Garp put down the newspaper and looked at the Rear Admiral who was in the office, "You still haven't been able to contact Aokiji?!"

The events related to the Golden Lion were too noisy and chaotic to continue to turn a blind eye, but to solve Shiki's problem, it was necessary to send an Admiral or the Navy Hero.

As Garp was about to return to East Blue to train his grandson Luffy, he willingly took on this task.

"Vice Admiral Garp, we are unable to communicate with Vice Admiral Aokiji, apparently his den den mushi has been destroyed..."

The Rear Admiral immediately reported, "But his den den mushi signal is sending a continuous signal from one location, we are now sailing directly there."

"Eh... Then swim all the way there at maximum speed!"

Garp stuck his little finger up his nostril, "I want to get home as soon as possible to see my grandson."

"Yes."

The Rear Admiral accepted the order and immediately left the office.

After a while, the ship's speed began to gradually increase until it reached its limit.

Garp rested his chin on his hand, looking at the endless sea outside the porthole, "Shiki, since you belong to a bygone era, why go against the flow of time and return to the stage?"

"My intuition tells me that you're in for a terrible and pitiful end, Shiki..."

As Garp was looking at the endless sea and muttering something to himself, den den mushi sounded on his desk.

Garp immediately snapped out of his reverie and reached out his hand towards the table, turning towards den den mushi.

"Mosi-mosi, Garp is on the line."

"We finally managed to establish a connection, Mr. Garp... This is Vice Admiral Aokiji, I'm currently with the 117th branch of the Navy."

"Everything went well, didn't it? Apparently, you managed to fix the location of the Flying Pirates. I'm swimming towards the den den mushi signal at full speed."

Garp took a cup of tea from the table, noticeably relaxed after contacting Aokiji.

The Navy Hero didn't care much about Aokiji, because with his current strength, he shouldn't get into a dangerous situation, even in the event of a direct collision with Shiki.

Although according to Garp's assessment, Aokiji probably won't be able to defeat Shiki, but there shouldn't be any problem with retreat.

Just contacting Aokiji at that time meant that Garp would be able to solve the Golden Lion's problem in the shortest possible time and finally see his grandson.

"Ara-ra-ra... there were some unforeseen circumstances..."

Aokiji's voice came from the other side, "All of the Flying Pirates, with the exception of Shiki himself, have been detained and temporarily placed in the branch..."

Garp asked in surprise, setting the teacup down a few inches from his mouth, "...What happened to Shiki?"

Aokiji took a deep breath on the other side, "The Golden Lion was killed... by the Traveler..."

Pfff!!!

Garp spat out the tea he had just drunk.

He immediately put down his cup and exclaimed anxiously, "Why did this troublesome fellow show up in East Blue?"

"Well... The traveler told me that he just left on a trip... so there shouldn't be any trouble if we didn't cause it ourselves..."

Aokiji replied to Garp, "We simply won't provoke the traveler, just like the World Government..."

"You're fine."

Garp smiled, wiping tea from his chin, "World Government, no.... The Heavenly Dragons felt the pain and are now trembling at the mere mention of this guy's name, but he really is... a true monster."

Aokiji's voice sounded from the other side, "So, now..."

Garp waved his hand, "Take care of the Flying Pirates... my ships will come to you on Branch 117, and I'll see my grandson in the meantime."

"Yes."

Aokiji replied and disconnected den den mushi.

"..."

Garp put down the den den mushi and looked at the ceiling, feeling neither joy nor sadness at the Golden Lion's death, then threw the tea out the porthole and poured himself a new one.

He was already thinking of retiring and no longer cared about what happened at sea.

Let the new generation do all this.

...

Somewhere in the expanses of the East Blue, Ohara was floating.

Robin and Yeruashi were sunbathing on the spacious deck.

Robin, dressed in a rather revealing bathing suit, was lying on a bamboo chair.

She was reading a book with her chin resting on both hands.

From time to time, rose petals appeared in front of Robin, turning the pages of the book.

"The weather on the four seas is beginning to seem too calm, after getting used to the conditions on the Grand Line."

Robin read the book quietly for a while, then put it down and looked at Yeruashi, who was lying next to him, with a smile.

Grand Line weather is surprisingly different from the weather of the four seas, especially in the New World, where good weather is usually less common than terrible storms, hail or tsunamis.

At that moment, Robin felt that Yeruashi's choice was perfect.

The trip to one of the four seas was fine.

"Yes..."

Yeruashi, who lay relaxed on a pillow filled with cold water, lazily replied and looked up at the clear blue sky.

Robin tilted her head slightly at Yeruashi's lazy reply, "What are you thinking about, sir?"

"Oh, the sun."

"The sun?"

Robin turned her head uncomprehendingly, looking up at the clear sky.

After a while, she looked away from the bright sun, unable to look at it for long.

Yeruashi continued to stare at the sun thoughtfully.

The sun is much larger than this planet.

The difference in mass between the planet and the sun should reach an exaggerated degree.

If it knocks a hundred One Piece and Naruto worlds into the sun at once, it's unlikely to have a significant impact.

Yeruashi was thinking about how exactly to overcome this gap between the level of destruction of a large planet and a star.

The power of Naruto's world alone is not enough for something like this, even if he increases his strength several times, cultivating the fruits of chakra in this world for a thousand years.

As for jumping between worlds with the help of an illusory clock, he still couldn't understand it.

Until now, it is not even possible to fully understand its principle, let alone control.

The jump from Naruto's world to the world where he became the owner of a superior force can be called pleasant and relaxing, but there is no guarantee that the same thing will happen the next time.

Therefore, Yeruashi was in no hurry to leave this world.

He intends to spend some time in this world to try to raise the power for another segment, as well as collect the time-type devil fruits and try to open the sixth skill of the illusory clock.

If the sixth ability really turns out to be a time jump, this will radically change the situation.

Although such an ability will not have a significant impact on pure power, it will allow you to go beyond its rules.

"By the way... the illusionary clock jump between worlds, it shouldn't be a space jump..."

Yeruashi whispered thoughtfully.
