Chapter 155: One Week's Time! Olvia Arrives
Lotte had not expected Kaido to come probing.
Even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared.
After all, how could those cannon-fodder-level pirates possibly uncover his identity?
Even if they somehow managed to reach Wano Country by some method, those pirates would definitely not be able to bring back any information alive!
This was Lotte's current confidence.
From any angle.
If it weren't for fearing Imu's power, Lotte would have already gone to Marine Headquarters to try out a true Thousand Hands.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do that.
After all, he still had things to finish in this era.
Once everything was done, Lotte could take Toki to Marine Headquarters for a visit—at worst, cause chaos and then cross over.
Let Imu know that these ten years hadn't been wasted.
But it would be best to find a way to counter Imu.
That way, even if he couldn't overthrow the World Government in the end.
It would just be a matter of time.
This one week.
Lotte had finally stayed quiet in Wano for a few days.
He took the opportunity to claim his system reward, and this time the system's reward was honestly a bit unexpected.
It was a [Eternal Youth Surgery Exchange Voucher].
As long as he used it, he could instantly become ageless.
Though this ability didn't grant immortality, the powerful vitality from eternal youth gave Lotte much more confidence against Imu.
After all, he would no longer be limited by lifespan.
In a sense, he could almost be considered an ageless incarnation.
This was absolutely good news for Lotte, because what made Imu so troublesome was that time-reversal ability.
Logically, since he now had no time constraints.
Whether time reversal would still work on him was definitely an unknown question.
But now was not the time to test it.
If it couldn't be negated, he'd just have to cross over again.
So Lotte planned to wait until he gathered more information. After all, the existence of the Surgery Fruit meant there was definitely another immortal in the world.
Unless he obtained sufficient intelligence.
Lotte had no intention of charging straight into the World Government's holy land.
Now was not the time for a direct confrontation with Imu.
To be honest.
Lotte also suspected whether Imu himself was an immortal.
But with that time ability, even without the eternal youth surgery, he could logically pause his own time to stay eternally young.
So he still planned to follow Roger to the final island.
Perhaps there.
He would find the answer he had been waiting for!
While Lotte was pondering in his room.
The door was suddenly knocked.
"Knock knock knock—!"
"Captain, that weird samurai is here looking for you again."
Hearing Toki's voice from outside, Lotte couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Got it, coming right away."
Because of his interference.
Toki definitely wouldn't like the current Kozuki Oden.
In a way, it could be said he had strangled Momonosuke in the cradle.
This was actually good news for everyone.
Lotte thought with amusement in his heart.
He calmly walked out the door.
Noticing the figure charging straight toward him. Lotte's mouth twitched.
"I'm right here and not running away—does he have to rush like that?"
"Well, enthusiasm is a good thing."
On the deck nearby, Whitebeard was drinking from his sake jar and noticed the figure rushing toward them from the shore.
He burst into hearty laughter.
"Gurararara! Looks like quite the problem child!"
"Are you really going to recruit this kid into the crew? He doesn't look easy to handle at all. How confident are you, brat?"
Whitebeard glanced at Lotte who had just stepped out and grinned.
In his view, while Kozuki Oden's talent and strength were outstanding, this kind of brainless guy could cause a lot of trouble sometimes.
Lotte rolled his eyes at Newgate.
"Cut the crap. I naturally have my own ways."
"These ten years weren't wasted. Just relax."
Though Lotte had no experience teaching problem children, as the saying goes, even if he hadn't eaten pork, he'd seen pigs run. In his previous life, there were plenty of anime about problem kids.
With his Sharingan.
Handling this kind of thing wasn't difficult—suggestion worked exceptionally well on someone like Kozuki Oden.
Otherwise, Lotte wouldn't have agreed so easily.
At the very least, he needed to hang him off the ship's stern for three days and nights like in the original.
Whitebeard shrugged.
He was also curious about what Lotte would do.
As the charging figure gradually approached the ship, Lotte stepped off and landed calmly on the beach.
He looked at the approaching figure and asked.
"Injuries all healed?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
He suddenly noticed several figures behind Kozuki Oden.
"Lord Oden!!!"
Hearing the extremely familiar shouts from behind.
Kozuki Oden only sped up a few steps, rushing to stop in front of Lotte, panting and nodding vigorously.
"C-Captain! All healed!"
"Let's set sail right away! Get out of this boring place early!"
Kozuki Oden raised his head full of excitement.
But Lotte's mouth twitched as he looked at the figures following Kozuki Oden.
Without a doubt, they were the future Red Scabbard Nine.
Clearly, these samurai who had followed Kozuki Oden for so long wouldn't give up so easily.
Good grief!
Coming to sea and still bringing the whole family!
....
At the same time.
In a distant corner of Wano Country.
A small boat of unknown origin was sailing straight toward here.
It finally stopped above the massive waterfall.
A figure frowned slightly at the towering waterfall that reached the clouds, took a deep breath, and transformed into an albatross without hesitation.
Flapping its wings, it soared straight into the sky!
Olvia knew the person she was looking for was here!
Her ten years of waiting were definitely not in vain—she could finally meet the gentleman she had been separated from for so long!
Olvia's heart was resolute.
This time, no matter what, she had to succeed in pushing Lotte down!
If she let him slip away this time, who knows how long it would be until the next chance!
Olvia knew well the gentleman's charm—if someone took advantage of her absence during this time.
That would be the real trouble for her!
