Chapter 461: I Just... Seemed to Have Fallen Asleep

Saint Saint Saiwen acted like a recorder, watching on-site as six experts besieged Imu, who was possessing Satan.

However, when the six experts each shouted out their ultimate moves, the name shouted by the old man Kaido made Saint Saint Saiwen unable to hold back his laughter.

It was because Rocks, holding his sword, unleashed a full-power strike: "Abyss Curse".

Garp's iron fist, like a meteor, twisted space into ripples wherever its fist wind passed: "Fist Bone Collision".

Luo Jie swung his blade, a red-black slash cutting through space like a galaxy pouring down: "God's Arrow".

Where Whitebeard's blade passed, the air vibrated with a sharp whistle: "Grass Cloud Cutter".

With the fire cloud Prometheus assisting, Charlotte Charlotte Lingling swung Napoleon to deliver a Haki-wrapped basic attack: "Nation of Might".

Only Kaido: Dragon's Breath...

The old man Kaido, who had just eaten the Azure Dragon Fruit, was indeed so green and cute that it was no wonder he was called "Cute-doro".

Saint Saint Saiwen captured this scene once again.

Then he quietly watched as Rocks was dominated by Imu's dark turn, and after Rocks became demonized, he attacked Whitebeard, Charlotte Charlotte Lingling, Kaido, and his wife.

He watched as Big Mom, at a critical moment, knocked Rocks' wife away from under Rocks' blade.

He watched young Shanks crawl into a treasure chest...

He watched the Golden Lion roll up countless treasure chests and flee, while the rest of the Rocks Pirates departed one by one.

He watched Garp and Luo Jie combine forces to crush Rocks, then collapse from exhaustion, and then Saint Garling arrived, recovered from his speed bump state.

He watched Shanks and Jia Ba rush back, one carrying Luo Jie and the other carrying Garp away, leaving only Rocks about to be finished off by Garling.

Even though these were real realities, for Saint Saint Saiwen, everything in this timeline should not have his existence.

Naturally, he could not interfere lightly.

Just as Saint Saint Saiwen was about to leave, he suddenly remembered a promise he had made to Blackbeard to pass a message to Rocks, and instantly teleported to Rocks' side.

At the same time, the entire timeline was instantly frozen.

Rocks lifted his eyelids, glancing at the motionless Garling and the mysterious Thunder Boy.

"Are you... a descendant of the Four Ancient Gods?"

Having dominated the seas for many years, Rocks considered himself second only to Imu, the king of the sewer rats between the flowers, yet he had never seen a method to pause time.

Could such a method be the Time-Time Fruit?

Hasn't the Time-Time Fruit been missing for many years?

Saint Saint Saiwen ignored Rocks' question, even though it involved the so-called Four Ancient Gods, and instead chose to keep his original promise.

"Help your son convey a message to you: The Davey family has left descendants."

"Titch?" Rocks was stunned for a few seconds, then a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Even Titch failed... I never thought... the Paramecia-type Time-Time Fruit could actually travel through time..."

Saint Saint Saiwen clasped his hands in a bow.

"Farewell."

Although he said that, Saint Saint Saiwen did not leave immediately; instead, he waited for Garling to finish off Rocks, confirming Rocks' death before departing.

Sea of God's Valley, O. Luo Jie Jackson.

After parting with Garp, Luo Jie's pirate crew, carrying the treasure chests of spoils obtained from God's Valley, became the biggest winners of the God's Valley Great War.

Vice-Captain Lei Li won the beauty, and Captain Luo Jie gained the successor Shanks.

On the deck, Luo Jie, who had been drinking heartily just a second ago, suddenly noticed a cross-shaped wound on his arm, then his eyes went black and he collapsed into sleep.

This scene terrified Lei Li and others, who hurriedly carried Luo Jie to his bed.

Luo Jie's body fell into deep sleep, but his consciousness entered a white, blank space; upon seeing the white-haired figure on the black Wang Zuo, Luo Jie immediately blurted out.

"Are you the King of the World mentioned by Rocks?"

"To be precise, I am the King of the World thirty years from now, and also Luo Jie's crew's chef eight years from now."

"Nani?!" Luo Jie's eyes widened.

"Thirty years from now... eight years from now?"

"You came from the future?"

Having said that, Luo Jie shook his head on his own.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible; how can a person return from the future to the past?"

Saint Saint Saiwen shrugged.

"Captain, it is very possible."

Not long ago, Saint Saint Saiwen used the Time-Time Fruit ability to freeze time, took a bit of blood from Captain Luo Jie's arm, and was preparing to directly activate the time machine to leave.

But for some reason, a strong sensation suddenly made him stay and drag Luo Jie into a dream.

Only at this moment did Saint Saint Saiwen finally understand: why Luo Jie's pirate crew originally went to East Blue's Hou Sha Town; perhaps it was his future self who told Luo Jie.

This address of "Captain" made Luo Jie instantly呆滞 and choose to believe what Saint Saint Saiwen said.

"Alright, this captain will temporarily believe you."

"You..." Luo Jie gestured for a long time: "Then why did you return from the future to this time, and why did you enter my dream?"

"To come and see you, and incidentally take something from you."

Hearing this, Luo Jie couldn't help but frown.

"In the future, I... died?"

"Yes." Saint Saint Saiwen nodded.

"That is why I took a bit of blood from your arm, preparing to revive you upon my return; of course, if you refuse to be revived, just pretend I never said it."

"Revive?" Luo Jie was even more confused.

Experiencing so many incredible things in one day gave Luo Jie an extremely absurd feeling.

First, Loxes turned demonic, then a man claiming to be Luo Jie's chef eight years in the future used uncanny means to carve a wound into his arm and spoke of reviving him in the future.

My head is itching terribly.

Though it seemed utterly absurd, Luo Jie faintly felt: perhaps these things were true.

"If I can live… this captain certainly hopes to live."

"Good." Saint Saint Saiwen rose to leave, then suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Captain, remember to pick me up in East Blue's Housa Town eight years from now."

Luo Jie nodded unconsciously, only to find the space abruptly shifting—before him, Lui Li, Jia Ba, and others stared at him with worried expressions.

"Luo Jie? How do you feel?"

Luo Jie grimaced: "I feel awful, Lui Li. I just… I just… seemed to fall asleep."

The events moments earlier vanished from Luo Jie's memory as if they had never happened, as if forcibly sealed by some power, waiting for some future condition to be met… for the memory to be unsealed.

Having done all this, Saint Saint Saiwen's figure dissolved.

……

Year 1533 of the Grand Line Calendar.

Red Line Continent, Sacred Sky City.

Returning to the present moment, Saint Saint Saiwen verified several times over that his journey to the past via the time machine had caused no impact.

"This thing is better used sparingly."

Even though his journey to the past yielded great gains—successfully gathering all conditions needed to revive Captain Luo Jie, acquiring the black histories of elder强者, and even learning of the Ancient Four Gods from Loxes—

Saint Saint Saiwen still had no intention of using the time machine again, for any action taken in the past timeline might affect the future.

The uncertainty was too great.

As for these so-called Ancient Four Gods…

What if they were gods? They still must bow to Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen.

If the Ancient Four Gods were powerful enough to be invincible, how could they have lost to Im?

The age of the Ancient Four Gods has long passed; this age is named the World King, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen.

Having gathered all conditions to revive Captain Luo Jie, Saint Saint Saiwen made no pause and immediately began arranging the resurrection ritual.
