Chapter 161 People Who Travel Through Time
"Roger Pirates' favor, huh? It really is something extraordinary."
Whitebeard picked up his Wine Bowl, took a sip, and said with emotion.
"Now that the matter with Roger is settled, what is this thing you mentioned that concerns me, Lightning Brat?"
After placing the Wine Bowl on the ground, Whitebeard looked at Nicholas and said with a imposing Aura.
Unlike Roger, he was currently at the Peak of his life, his Body's Functions could be described as perfect, so he wanted to know what this other Thing Nicholas mentioned that was related to him was.
"Ah, about you, Newgate."
Nicholas touched his hair and said with a smile, "I also want to find someone from your Ship, but don't worry, I won't take her away, I just have some Things I want to ask her."
"Oh? You Kid are also setting your sights on my Family?"
As Nicholas spoke, Whitebeard's Aura began to gather and press towards Nicholas, but Nicholas seemed unaffected by Whitebeard's Aura, continuing to drink his Wine calmly.
"Who?"
Finally, Whitebeard spoke. Based on his understanding of Nicholas, if this person said it, then he would definitely try his best to accomplish it.
Although he wasn't afraid of Nicholas, his Crew members were probably no match for this guy except for Kozuki Oden who could barely resist. The others had no qualification to Resistance at all.
And facing Nicholas, who possessed Lightning Speed, even if he wanted to be on guard, it would be very difficult.
"The woman on your Ship named Toki, I have some Things I want to ask her."
Nicholas understood that Whitebeard was showing signs of compromise and directly stated his purpose.
"Kid, do you know what you're talking about?"
Whitebeard's Beard almost stood on end in anger. If it were someone else, Whitebeard wouldn't be so angry, but who was Nicholas talking about? That was his beloved little brother's Wife, and even the mother of his child. This couldn't help but make Whitebeard suspect Nicholas's motives were impure. After all, Toki's appearance was quite good.
"Of course I know, the person I'm looking for is her. By the way, Newgate, you don't even know her True Name until now, do you? Ah Toki? Hahahaha."
Thinking of Newgate and the others' Appellation for Amatsuki Toki, Nicholas couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, Lightning Kid, what do you mean by that?"
Hearing Nicholas's Words, Newgate couldn't help but ask.
"Want to know what I mean? Just call her over and you'll find out, won't you?"
Nicholas looked at Whitebeard's Eyes without fear.
"Whitey Jr., what do you want with Toki?"
After a moment, a slightly tipsy Kozuki Oden walked over with Amatsuki Toki. The Exchange Meeting with the Roger Pirates had clearly made him very happy. After all, he had heard many interesting Things about the Grand Line from the Roger Pirates, and had seen many Things he had never seen before.
"Not me, it's him."
Whitebeard said, pointing to Nicholas sitting there.
Following Whitebeard's finger, Kozuki Oden and Amatsuki Toki also curiously looked at Nicholas, wondering why this person who knew Roger and Whitebeard suddenly wanted to find Amatsuki Toki. Roger, Rayleigh, and the others were also sizing up the two of them. It could be said that Kozuki Oden was the key to their next Navigation.
And the woman beside him, judging by her attire, seemed to be from the same country as Kozuki Oden, and she was indeed quite good-looking. They were also quite curious about what Nicholas wanted with this woman. Could it be?
Seeming to have thought of something, Rayleigh, Roger, and Jabba exchanged glances and revealed gossipy expressions.
"May I ask what business you have with Ah Toki, sir?"
Kozuki Oden looked at Nicholas and asked in a deep voice.
"Amatsuki Toki."
As soon as Nicholas opened his mouth, Amatsuki Toki and Kozuki Oden's expressions changed drastically. Then Kozuki Oden directly shielded Amatsuki Toki behind him, his hands directly placed on Ama no Habakiri and Enma at his Waist, as if they would start a war if they disagreed.
"Who exactly are you?"
Kozuki Oden frowned and asked again.
"In History, the Kozuki Family of Wano Country is guarded by five Families, namely, Shimotsuki, Fūzuki, Amatsuki, and Kurozumi. Except for Kurozumi, the Heirs of the Kozuki Family in almost every generation will engage in Marriage Alliance with the four Families including Amatsuki. And according to my understanding, Wano Country has been closed off for many years. Shimotsuki, Fūzuki, and Amatsuki will not leave easily. As for the Amatsuki Family, they were already exterminated decades ago, and the Kurozumi Family is also about the same.
So I'm very curious, Miss Amatsuki Toki, where did you come from?"
"What are you talking about, sir? I don't understand what you mean?"
Amatsuki Toki looked at Nicholas, trying her best to make her expression look normal.
"Who are you?!"
Kozuki Oden asked again, but this time Enma and Ama no Habakiri in his hands had already been unsheathed.
As Kozuki Oden drew his Swords, the Atmosphere between the two sides became even more tense. Even the two sides who were originally holding the Exchange Meeting stopped their Actions and all looked towards the location of Whitebeard, Roger, Nicholas and others because of the Aura that suddenly erupted from this Island.
"Hey, Shanks, can I discuss something with you?"
Looking at the somewhat strange Atmosphere, Buggy whispered to Shanks beside him.
"Huh? Are you saying that if a fight breaks out later, we should find an Opportunity to kill that guy?"
Before Shanks could finish speaking, Buggy directly covered Shanks's mouth with his hand.
"Don't you know what it means to plan in secret, you Kid? In short, that guy gives me a very bad feeling, just like Bullet, and I even feel that guy will bring us huge trouble in the Future, so it's better to nip him in the bud."
Buggy said with a frown. Obviously, the guy on Whitebeard's Ship gave him a very bad feeling. This feeling was even worse than Bullet who had come to the Roger Pirates not long ago.
Of course, this was when Bullet had Things to deal with and was not on the Ship that Buggy dared to complain. Otherwise, with Bullet's Personality of not taking anyone seriously except Roger, Buggy wouldn't dare to say this even if he had ten guts.
"Hey, Buggy, are you crazy? Don't you know how protective Whitebeard is of his subordinates? If we kill that guy, it's likely to cause a full-scale war between the Whitebeard Pirates and us."
Shanks couldn't help but say. The reason he said it was a full-scale war was because Shanks knew that if he and Buggy really killed the Monster in Buggy's mouth, facing the furious Whitebeard, Captain Roger would definitely draw his Sword and go straight up to fight without saying a word.
When it comes to protecting their own, Captain Roger is not inferior to Whitebeard at all.
"Who I am is not important, I just want to know what happened back then, what is the World Government's Trump Card? And how did Joy Boy fail back then?"
Nicholas's Words confused everyone, but Amatsuki Toki's pupils suddenly shrank.
Although she didn't know the specifics of that battle back then, there was no doubt that they had suffered a terrible defeat. Even the reason why she used the Time Fruit to constantly travel to the Future was because the Diviner beside the Mermaid Princess, one of Joy Boy's Partners, had told her that Hope was in the Future.
But now Nicholas almost directly spoke out the Secret she had been hiding in her heart.
