Chapter 259: Seizing Toki Amatsuki
After some consideration, Yuan Yi concluded it was possible.
His power in this world was immense—two ten-million-level characters and numerous powerful beings and objects. This world bore his mark deeply.
He decided to take a risk, though it seemed like little of a risk given his capabilities. Unlike when he first started, now he has ample resources, making any task more manageable.
A spark can ignite a prairie fire.
Under his control, Toki Amatsuki activated her Time-Time Fruit ability again, targeting the future one year ahead. Utilizing the Shikon Jewel fragment he left in that timeline to shorten the distance, he saw that light spot.
The moment Toki activated her ability, Yuan Yi saw colorful light bands, one of which had a glowing point.
The next moment, Yuan Yi appeared in Wano Country, another timeline.
"The air does get dirtier with industrialization," he noted.
Having been in Wano Country, he felt the difference. This Wano Country was not modernized but still an agricultural nation.
But he wasn't here for fresh air.
In a forest in Wano, he materialized Gremmy Thoumeaux's Brain.
"Gremmy Thoumeaux's Brain: From Bleach, it is the Quincy Gremmy Thoumeaux's actual body, possessing the Schrift 'V' for 'Visionary,' allowing him to turn his thoughts into reality. (Holding the Schrift while drawing increases the likelihood of drawing other Schrifts.)"
As he read the description, a brain in a jar appeared in his hands.
A brain in a jar, simple to describe.
Besides the 'V' Schrift, the Bleach world had many powerful Schrifts, like 'M' for 'Miracle' and the strongest 'A' for 'Almighty.' Of course, abilities followed the principle of getting what you pay for.
Though strengths could be slightly adjusted, they stayed within a range. He wondered if he could draw powerful Schrifts like 'Miracle.'
For now, having 'V' was more than enough. Its ability was too versatile.
However, since this was an item card, not a character card, he needed to create an appropriate character to use this brain.
"Well, that's not difficult for me," Yuan Yi mused, teleporting away from Wano.
To cross worlds, he needed the Time-Time Fruit's power, which in this world was still with Toki Amatsuki. Given the timeline, Toki should be with Kozuki Oden on Whitebeard's ship.
Though strong enough to overpower Whitebeard, there was no need for conflict. He located Whitebeard Pirates and teleported there.
...
The Whitebeard Pirates were sailing the sea. With Kozuki Oden's addition, their strength had grown significantly.
Many of Whitebeard's sons were still growing, but Oden's presence reduced Whitebeard's need to handle every fight personally.
Today, someone suddenly appeared on their ship.
Whitebeard was lounging in his chair, basking in the sun, when he instantly became alert.
His sons were scattered, either playing or keeping watch, oblivious to someone appearing right before Whitebeard.
"Who are you?!" Whitebeard tensed, standing up, his stern gaze on Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi, clad in a black robe with a hood concealing his face, calmly replied, "No need for alarm, I'm not here for you."
"Gurarara, no matter who you're here for, your actions are a declaration of war!" Whitebeard laughed, his immense power surging as he punched.
The Gura Gura no Mi's power exploded, making the sea seem enraged, the immense force targeting Yuan Yi.
To everyone's shock, Yuan Yi lifted a finger, and all disturbances ceased.
This scene astonished everyone, even Whitebeard, who couldn't fathom what had happened.
"Old man! What happened?!"
It wasn't until then that others noticed something was amiss, some watching the sea, some reading, and others discussing things. Now, they all turned toward Whitebeard.
They rushed over, but alarmed Whitebeard shouted, "Stay back!"
Yes, stay back!
This man was terrifying. What had he done? Why did Whitebeard's attack just vanish?
Was there anyone in the world who could do this?!
Whitebeard felt an unprecedented fear, never having encountered such a situation.
"Whitey-chan, what happened?"
Only now did Kozuki Oden and his wife, Toki Amatsuki, emerge from a cabin.
"Sharp reaction," Yuan Yi noted, seeing his target. He pointed, and Toki's eyes lost focus.
"Toki!"
Seeing his wife suddenly step forward, Oden noticed her odd behavior and tried to hold her, but his movements became stiff, allowing Toki to break free.
"You..."
Whitebeard, furious, said, "Are you trying to take my family?! No matter who you are, I'll kill you!"
Oden was Whitebeard's brother, making Toki his sister-in-law. Yuan Yi targeting Toki was intolerable.
Whitebeard unleashed his full power, his fist covered in Haki, the Gura Gura no Mi activated fully, capable of shattering an island.
"Don't make bold statements lightly; it only reveals your weakness," Yuan Yi said softly, and with a touch, Whitebeard's power vanished again.
