After learning that Ace had successfully persuaded Rouge, he asked curiously in a low voice, "Didn't you ask about Roger?"
Ikki believed that once Ace learned the truth about Roger's surrender, there was no way he would remain this calm…
Hearing his question, Ace lowered his gaze and said, "My mother told me to wait twenty years…"
At this, Ikki glanced at Rouge and thought to himself, She's probably afraid that once Ace learns the truth, he'll storm Marine Headquarters to take back Roger's body!
Even though she hadn't spent much time with Ace, Rouge could see his character at a glance—he was definitely the type of person who would do something that reckless.
Once the incident on Baterilla Island was over, Ikki prepared to take Ace and the others through time once again.
This time, he had even prepared jelly beans that could instantly replenish physical strength, ensuring that he wouldn't be forced to stop due to exhaustion.
On the shore.
Ikki looked at Captain America, Kakashi, Ace, and Rouge before taking out the Smal; Light and shining it on them. In an instant, their figures shrank to the size of ants.
With everyone miniaturized, Ikki gripped the Rabbit Talisman and began to accelerate.
A familiar sensation of chaotic time and space surrounded them as Ikki's extreme speed shattered the limitations of time, propelling them into the time-space tunnel.
Not long after entering, Ikki felt exhaustion creeping in, but fortunately, he had come prepared. He popped a jelly bean into his mouth, instantly restoring his strength. Even though he had only brought one, it was enough to get him to the finish line.
As a pulling sensation began acting on him, Ikki realized they were nearing their destination.
He didn't resist the force, but just as he was about to exit the tunnel, several figures flashed past him.
"What the hell? Is there someone else traveling through time besides me?"
Muttering to himself, Ikki turned his gaze toward the figures. The moment he saw them, his expression froze.
Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Raizo, and Kiku—several of the time travelers from the original timeline—were right in front of him.
Seeing this, Ikki immediately understood. This must be the moment they traveled forward because of Kaido's attack.
The pulling force wasn't too strong yet, and Ikki suddenly found himself considering something—Should I just fly over and kill Momonosuke?
Moreover, looking at their current state, they were clearly different from himself.
The five of them were frozen in a grayish-white state, as if time had stopped for them. Unlike Ikki, who could still move and think freely.
"Hah! Since you've fallen into my hands, wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't kill you for Hiyori's sake?"
With that, Ikki flapped his wings and rushed toward Momonosuke's position.
But before he could lay a hand on him, something even more shocking happened—
Another group of figures suddenly appeared in the time-space tunnel.
And just like the first group, these newcomers were also Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Raizo, Kanjuro, and Kiku.
"What the fuck? There are two Momonosukes?"
But so what? There's no need to overthink this. Killing one Momonosuke is satisfying enough—killing two? That's double the happiness.
Without hesitation, Ikki grabbed both Momonosukes by the neck.
The moment his hands made contact, the two suddenly started moving.
"W-Where… where is this? Mother… Mother…"
"W-Where… where is this? Mother… Mother…"
Both Momonosukes cried out at the same time. Hearing their own voice coming from someone else, they froze and turned to look at each other in shock.
Before they could process what was happening, Ikki tightened his grip on the one to the right—CRACK! His neck snapped instantly.
The Momonosuke on the left screamed in terror.
"Mother…! Father…! Save… save me…!"
He had just fled from Wano's past, only to find himself in this strange place, watching his other self get brutally killed before his eyes. The sheer horror of it all made him wet his pants.
"As expected. All you can do is cry. Shouldn't you be begging for mercy right now?"
Ikki was just about to finish him off when a sudden, powerful force pulled at Momonosuke.
Damn it… This must be the moment he's about to arrive in the future. The timeline is forcing him through.
The distortion in time and space rendered Ikki completely immobile, preventing him from finishing the job. He had no choice but to let go as he, too, was forcibly dragged out of the time tunnel.
"Shit! Don't tell me I'm about to be thrown two years into the future?!"
Before he could do anything, his figure vanished from the time-space tunnel.
Two Years Later – The Pirate World
Ever since the war at Marineford, the sea had become more chaotic than ever.
Before his death, Whitebeard's final words—"The One Piece is real!"—shook the world, igniting a new wave of piracy. With the strongest man gone, even those who once feared entering the New World now dared to set sail, all aiming for the legendary treasure.
Meanwhile, the loss of Ace had left Luffy devastated. But thanks to the bonds of his crew and Jinbe's guidance, he managed to recover. Determined to become stronger, he trained under Silvers Rayleigh for two years before setting off again.
Now, with their long-awaited reunion, the Straw Hat Pirates had returned, making waves across the sea once more.
New World
A crack tore open in space, and Ikki's figure tumbled out.
The abrupt turbulence made his stomach churn violently.
The problem? He was still wearing a mask. The consequences of vomiting inside it… yeah, not pretty.
He hurriedly yanked off his mask to catch his breath—only to realize he was in free fall.
Below him was nothing but the vast, open sea.
"Damn it… why is it always 10,000 meters in the air?!"
Cursing his luck, Ikki flapped his wings furiously, stabilizing himself in midair. But the moment he steadied, his stomach finally gave in—BLARGH!
A thick, sticky substance spewed from his mouth.
Meanwhile…
Below, a fierce naval battle was raging.
On one side: the Straw Hat Pirates.
On the other: a Marine fleet led by Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel.
Their objective? Escorting the captured giant pirate chef, Panz Fry.
The Straw Hats, however, had intervened—at the request of Panz Fry's daughter, Lily.
Of course, Luffy had only agreed for one reason:
He wanted to taste the legendary Volcanic Cuisine.
