Chapter 260: Shikon Jewel and the Time-Time Fruit
What... What kind of power is this?
Even after releasing his power, why did it vanish so suddenly?
Yuan Yi watched the stunned Whitebeard and said, "It's not just power that can disappear, but also... your family."
Kozuki Toki had already walked to Yuan Yi's side. Yuan Yi continued softly, "Toki Amatsuki's Devil Fruit possesses divine power, which you mortals cannot hope to possess."
"She is destined to become a god, and staying on your ship is a waste of her time."
"Damn it! Let Toki go!" Kozuki Oden roared in fury, but it felt like a mountain was pressing down, immobilising him.
Yuan Yi said no more and vanished in the next instant.
Toki Amatsuki disappeared along with him.
The next moment, they reappeared on a small island.
"Makia's Domination power and the Erase Card are truly useful."
Though Yuan Yi had mastered his powers for some time, this was his first real battle with others.
Unconsciously, his power had become this formidable.
It wasn't just essential strength; he also had various abilities from different characters.
Teleportation, Domination, Erasure—these three combined abilities made him invincible in this world.
He looked at Toki Amatsuki beside him and decided to release his control over her.
Toki, whose eyes had lost their focus, gradually regained her senses. She had been aware of everything that happened, but her body couldn't react.
She immediately took a step back and shouted, "Who are you?! Let me go!"
Her heart was filled with fear, and she was ready to use her Time-Time Fruit to jump into the future again.
"I told you, the Time-Time Fruit you consumed grants you divine power."
Yuan Yi said softly, "Such power should not be wasted on the Kozuki family."
"You also want to travel to the future?" Toki seemed to grasp onto hope and quickly said, "I can help you!"
"No, the future alone is insignificant." Yuan Yi replied calmly, "Past, present, future—they are all aspects of time."
"You want to change the past?" Toki's face changed, and she said quickly, "That's impossible. The Time-Time Fruit can only travel to the future!"
"That's why you are still far from being a god." Yuan Yi extended his hand toward Toki. "Try using its power."
Upon closer inspection, a faint light appeared on his outstretched hand, revealing a crystal-like fragment.
A Shikon Jewel shard...
"This is..."
If someone from the previous world had been here, had beeny would have recognised have recognizedn this world, no one knew what it was.
Toki was confused but could feel the power within the shard.
The Shikon Jewel shard also had time travel capabilities, and Yuan Yi planned to test it on Toki Amatsuki of this world.
Since the name "Shikon Jewel shard" had already been used in the previous world, it would be called here...
"A shard of time."
Yuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and integrated the shard into Toki's body.
"A shard of time?" The new term eased Toki's panic a bit. She felt a gentle power entering her body.
The Shikon Jewel was able to send people centuries back in time, though Yuan Yi had yet to fully unlock this ability before.
PerhaIt may haveed a catalyst?
So.Yuan Yi thought of the Time-Time Fruit. He chose this world to experiment, as it wasn't his primary concern.
It seemed similar, though.
Yes, the Shikon Jewel shard enhanced Toki's power.
It may need more.
Yuan Yi speculated that one shard wasn't enough.
"A shard of time...?" Toki was still processing the new term when she suddenly became dazed again.
No, not just dazed. Her eyes slowly regained clarity but lost the previous hostility toward Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi used his Dominating power to create a second personality in her mind, temporarily making her obedient.
He said temporarily because he couldn't stay in this world. Once he returned to his original world, the control would weaken.
For now, he could sense the diminishing control over his subjects in the previous world, though it wasn't critical yet.
But if he returned, Toki would gradually break free from his control in this world.
So, it was temporary. He would set things in motion here but might revisit later.
His senses were already blurred for his accurate avatars in another world, let alone control by his powers.
"The more of my power they hold, the stronger the control."
The Shikon Jewel shard in Toki served this purpose.
"Master."
Toki spoke softly.
Yuan Yi nodded. "In my absence, seek out the 'shards of time.'"
The demon dragon in this world left another Shikon Jewel shard. Yuan Yi tasked Toki with finding it.
She needed a goal, after all...
"I will find as many shards of time as I can," Toki replied, now considering herself Yuan Yi's subordinate.
"Good, use the Time-Time Fruit."
This initial visit should end. Next time, he needed to return with more demon cells and Shikon Jewel shards.
As he thought this, Toki activated the Time-Time Fruit, her hands glowing softly as she teleported Yuan Yi.
The Time-Time Fruit could only travel to the future, but Yuan Yi had already glimpsed the vibrant world and felt its pull. His hypothesis was correct.
Most wouldn't notice what Yuan Yi saw during the traversal. He felt the world's pull among the colourful visions and forcibly reversed the direction, especially with the Shikon Jewel shard aiding.
