Chapter 121: Time Reversal?! Terrifying Ability
The next day.
As the dark clouds gradually parted and bright sunlight poured down.
Lotte left the Roger Pirates alongside Whitebeard. Though Roger had tried to persuade them to stay, he understood that neither was the type to be easily kept.
He could only let them go.
"Newgate, where are you planning to head next?"
"If you want to build a new pirate crew, first you need enough crew members and an excellent ship."
"An ordinary pirate ship wouldn't suit your status."
Lotte glanced at Whitebeard beside him, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth as he spoke.
In the more than ten years between God Valley and Roger's era, even someone who had read the original story like Lotte only knew fragments.
So even he couldn't continue playing prophet.
Newgate grinned.
"I plan to head back to my hometown first. It's been a long time since I last went back. As for crew and ships—I'll take it slow."
"The seas ahead will undoubtedly be a chaotic era."
After Rocks fell at God Valley.
The remaining top figures were mostly the original cadres from the ship.
For example, Charlotte Linlin and Golden Lion Shiki—both would surely make their mark in the era to come, no matter how you looked at it.
Though Newgate had no great ambition, he also didn't plan to fall behind.
"Then let's part ways here."
"I also have something I want to do."
Lotte said with a light laugh.
"Alright then. I was originally going to invite you to my hometown for a drink."
"But since you have things to do, let's leave it for next time. With your strength, it won't be long before we meet again."
Newgate sounded a bit regretful but still nodded.
Lotte's strength was undoubtedly among the very top even in the New World.
So Newgate naturally wasn't worried about his safety.
With Whitebeard's farewell.
Lotte finally had some time alone again. He sat quietly on the deck, gazing at the endless coastline in the distance.
He opened his attribute panel once more.
[Name: Lotte] [Age: 19] [Bloodline Ability: Hashirama Cells (Mastery 75%)] [Skills: Wood Release (Current Power Limit S+), Three Types of Haki (Advanced 50%), Flame Dance Dual Sword Style (Advanced 60%), Sun Breathing Technique (Mastery 80%), Voice of All Things (Mastered), Three Tomoe Sharingan (Mastered)] [Inventory: Flame King / Shodai Kitetsu (Supreme Grade Swords), Eternal Youth Pill ×3, Time-Time Fruit (10 years)] [Combat Power: 40000-55000] [Overall Evaluation: The Three Tomoe Sharingan has evolved to offer much greater utility—whether for genjutsu or hypnosis, it's extremely effective. Normal-state strength has finally reached Vice Admiral level; with full burst, there's a slight chance to defeat an Admiral.] [Special Remark: He's here.]
After scanning the special remark, Lotte slowly opened his eyes.
His strength had increased by a full 5,000 compared to not long ago—an absolutely massive jump. As long as he continued to develop steadily.
Surpassing the Yonko wouldn't take much longer.
It was just a pity the plan had been disrupted for now.
Lotte stood on the ship, narrowing his eyes as he spoke calmly.
"Since you've come, it's about time you showed yourself."
"Imu."
As his words fell.
In the originally vast, boundless sky, a black-robed figure appeared at some point—without Lotte ever sensing their presence.
He didn't know when they had arrived.
And on the other party's body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible for Lotte to clearly see the black-robed figure's face. He hadn't even noticed their arrival.
Imu stood silently in midair.
Merely existing there made the surrounding air feel heavier.
Even the seagulls flying nearby began to regress visibly in midair—turning into chicks before plummeting into the sea.
Yet toward this seemingly magical domain.
Imu simply stood in place and spoke calmly.
"You actually know this name. It seems you're not entirely ignorant."
"Did you learn it from the D. side?"
"But no matter which it is—you will die here today."
The voice alone made it impossible to tell male from female.
The moment Lotte heard this, he only narrowed his eyes toward Imu.
"You can guess for yourself."
"I'm quite curious—what exactly gives you, the one behind the Five Elders,
The power to rule the entire world."
With that.
Lotte didn't hesitate. He instantly brought his hands together.
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!"
As his words fell, at a visible speed.
Towering giant trees burst out of the water, instantly surging up and enveloping the entire space.
With his increased mastery of Hashirama Cells, Lotte could now perfectly execute Advent of a World of Trees even on the open sea.
The only cost was a bit more stamina.
Lotte didn't believe Imu ruled the world relying solely on physical techniques. While pure physical prowess could indeed make one among the strongest.
Ruling the entire world
Was a completely different matter.
The human body was still too fragile—even a genius like Garp had limits to his physical techniques.
Since Imu had come looking for him now.
Lotte also planned to fully display his strength and probe out whatever power Imu was hiding. That was the most important thing for his future plans!
The black-robed figure swept a glance around.
Seeming to completely disregard the towering giant trees.
"So this is your ability? I don't sense any Devil Fruit factor in it—it seems it's not power gained from a fruit."
"Quite an interesting guy. I've never seen a bloodline like yours."
"But this is as far as it goes."
Hearing this mockery, Lotte's expression remained unchanged. Without hesitation, he controlled the erupting towering trees, turning them into a sky-blotting giant hand.
It slammed down toward Imu.
A massive wooden palm capable of crushing an island in an instant came crashing down—and on that palm was also coiled Armament Haki.
Carrying crushing force.
Just the pressure it exuded whipped up terrifying waves across the surrounding sea.
Lotte's eyes showed a hint of seriousness.
This was undoubtedly his current full power. Even a Marine Headquarters Admiral couldn't withstand this move unscathed.
Even Rocks would have to take it seriously!
