Time Power!

Inside the 11th Division's warship, in the quiet medical room...

"The World?"

A confused look appeared on Lu Yun's face.

Then, she saw a soft glow surrounding Roya's body. It was like watching time move backward! His damaged insides and broken spine seemed to fix themselves in a flash. Even the wound he'd made himself was disappearing!

In less than a minute, Roya's body was perfect again, without a single mark. The beeping machines showed his life signs getting stronger and stronger.

It was unbelievable!

Lu Yun's jaw dropped open.

"Life Return? No, it's something else!"

She felt a thrill of excitement!

I knew there was something special about Senior Roya! This amazing healing isn't normal.

Could he be from some unknown, unique race?

"Huh? Senior Roya's body..."

As his wounds healed, Roya's body began to shrink. His muscles seemed to waste away.

Quickly, he became just skin and bones.

Then, Lu Yun understood.

Healing like this needs energy, that's why Senior Roya asked me to get food ready. What an incredible body!

There's so much we don't know. Maybe Senior Roya is as amazing as the legendary Lunarians!

"This is so interesting!"

Lu Yun was practically bouncing with excitement.

The records from Punk Hazard called the Lunarians the "God Tribe," the most special beings. Even Vegapunk called them "the strongest humans" and wanted to copy them.

Compared to the Lunarians, Senior Roya was different, but this wasn't normal healing. It was like controlling time, turning his body back to before he was hurt.

If it really is Time Power...

Lu Yun reached out and gently touched Roya's stomach. Then, she lifted her own shirt and touched her own belly, trying to feel if there was any difference.

"Hehe~ Hehehehehe~~"

Roya's eyes fluttered open. He saw Lu Yun touching his stomach with a weird, hungry grin.

She was drooling!

"Have you felt enough?"

"Huh? Senior, you woke up so fast?"

Lu Yun quickly wiped away her drool.

Roya sat up, feeling weak.

"Lu Yun, what just happened?"

"Huh? Senior, you don't know?"

"I know something happened, but I couldn't see it."

"Oh, I see."

Lu Yun explained everything, her eyes shining with a scientist's curiosity. She wanted to study Roya like a fascinating bug.

It was a little scary.

"Senior, it's very likely you have Time Power inside you! It might even be able to change the real world!"

"Change reality?"

Roya frowned.

He felt that The World wasn't just about slowing time. It was like a Devil Fruit that needed training.

Making copies of real places, even bringing back enemies I've fought, and healing my body - The World can do all of that.

If I could really affect reality and use it in battle, I'd be so much stronger!

Maybe I'm just not strong enough mentally yet?

Roya looked at Lu Yun.

He wasn't surprised she'd found out about his secret. As his helper, she was always with him, almost closer than a wife. It was hard to hide anything from her.

Besides, there were so many strange races in the world, even monsters like the Lunarians.

He was just a little different, that's all.

Compared to his goals, his secret was nothing. What was more important than taking down the Celestial Dragons?

I'm more interested in whether Lu Yun can help me make "The World" stronger.

"Lu Yun, are you sure?"

"If it happens again, I should be able to figure it out."

Lu Yun was excited to try. It all happened so fast before. She wasn't ready, and she was worried that stopping it would hurt Roya.

If it happens again, a simple test will be enough to know for sure.

"Alright, we'll have another chance soon."

Roya nodded, his eyes serious.

"The World" had already copied all of Vergo's power, especially the Demon Bamboo Strike. His body would probably be broken many times in the future.

"Lu Yun, I'm hungry."

"Ah, Senior, just a moment!"

Lu Yun finally remembered and rushed out of the medical room. All the members of the 11th Division were waiting in the hallway, looking worried.

With injuries that bad, will Colonel Roya be okay?

Seeing Lu Yun come out, they all hurried to ask, "Major Lu Yun, how is Colonel Roya?"

"He's safe!"

Lu Yun reassured them and ordered, "Get food ready, as much as you can!"

"Yes!"

Even though they didn't understand, they all ran to the kitchen. It was all they could do.

Soon, huge amounts of food were being brought to the medical room. It sounded like a monster was eating everything, like a bottomless pit.

"Hurry, bring more food!"

"Tell the cooks to hurry up!"

"He's been eating for half an hour! He's eaten days' worth of food!"

After eating for a long time, the feeding finally stopped.

The medical room became quiet again.

Lu Yun closed the door and said seriously, "Colonel Roya needs to rest for a while. Don't bother him."

"Understood!"

The Marines nodded strongly.

The Colonel was badly hurt, he needs his rest.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut.

Inside the medical room, Roya's body, which had been swollen from eating so much, was shrinking quickly. His thin muscles were becoming strong again.

Roya made a fist, his arm muscles hard as rocks. His body was full of power again, even stronger than before.

It was like being reborn!

"Lu Yun, from now on, I need that much food every day!"

"Senior, we don't have enough food on the warship!"

Lu Yun had to remind him that if Roya kept eating like this, they'd run out of food in three days.

"Get it from the G-5 Branch!"

Roya said without shame, "Also, contact those countries we helped before and have them send food over! They expect something for their help."

"Understood."

Since they gave help, it was fair to ask for something in return, especially if it was just food.

The next morning.

The G-5 Branch members came to the port to check on Roya. They were worried.

Lu Yun stopped them.

"Please don't worry, Colonel Roya is safe. He's resting and can't see anyone right now."

"Understood, understood."

The G-5 Marines sighed in relief.

They liked the 11th Division and were worried that Roya would die.

Commodore Overhead patted his chest. "If you need anything, just ask! We'll do our best!"

"Thank you."

Lu Yun thanked them with a smile. Even though the G-5 Marines were known as troublemakers, they were still Royal.

In the Base Chief's Office.

"He didn't die? He's tough."

Vergo's cold face didn't change when he heard the news. Yesterday's battle showed how dangerous Roya was.

He's good, better than some Rear Admirals. If he has time, he'll cause big problems for the Family.

That black-haired kid is going to be a big problem for the Family - I need to get rid of him soon.
