The green-haired woman looked around at the dark night with annoyance.
For a moment, she couldn't even confirm what year it was in this era.
She could only find a place to spend the night first, find some food to replenish her strength tomorrow, and after determining the year, decide whether or not to continue traveling through time.
After all, activating her ability also required physical strength.
Moreover, as the years grew closer to the era in the prophecy, the frequency of her appearances increased.
Originally, she could leap over a hundred years at once, but later it became 50 years, and even 20 years at a time... She was terrified of missing the era her clansmen had entrusted to her.
She carried a certain heavy responsibility on her shoulders.
This green-haired woman's name was Amatsuki Toki!
A Paramecia Type Time-Time Fruit user.
Her parents were members of the Amatsuki Family from the Hakumai District of Wano Country, and her grandfather was once the Daimyo of Hakumai.
The Amatsuki Family, along with the Kozuki Family, Shimotsuki Family, Fūgetsu Family, and Ugetsu Family, were all famous Moon Families of Wano Country.
They all originated from the moon people and Half-Moon People of the ancient era (the Second World).
However, Amatsuki Toki herself was born in the Outer Seas.
Over 850 years ago in the original timeline, during that century-long war.
Amatsuki Toki's parents and clansmen, carrying a certain lord's orders and a special Devil Fruit, left Wano Country to seek refuge and live in seclusion in the Outer Seas.
The Amatsuki Family bore certain prophecies from that lord, which were to be passed on to Wano Country eight hundred years later.

Looking at the narrow crescent moon in the sky.
Dressed in Wano Country attire with the family's famous blade, Tokieko, at her waist, Amatsuki Toki jumped onto a large tree in the dark, intending to make do for the night.
She had wanted to return to her homeland, Wano Country, since she was a child, but when she was young, the Great War had not yet ended.
Following instructions, she ate the Time-Time Fruit in her youth.
Because that lord seemed to have seen her future.
She was a crucial and special girl of destiny, an important link in the chain of fate and prophecy.
As the Great Kingdom's defeat became fully apparent, under the repeated exhortations of her clansmen, she was forced to take certain prophecies alone and activate the Time-Time Fruit's power, intending to travel to Wano Country eight hundred years in the future.
To spread the hope of victory.
Now, she desperately wanted to arrive accurately at the Wano Country of the future.
In that correct era, there would be the next Liberation Warrior who could bring laughter.
While thinking, Amatsuki Toki gradually fell into a light sleep on the tree.
The cool breeze brushed past her hair ornaments and clothes, stroked her fair long legs, and blew up a corner of her skirt... Her clothing was patterned with the crescent moon crest of her clan, and there were even several simple yet distinctive patterned patches on it.
These were patterned fabrics with era-specific characteristics that she had collected in each time period.
She wanted to collect a characteristic patterned patch from every era on her clothes.
This bore witness to the changes of the eras she had experienced.
It was similar to certain adventure customs in the Outer Seas of collecting postmarks.
If she had time tomorrow, she would still go and collect a piece of characteristic fabric to add to her clothes.
"I wonder if I've reached that era yet..."
"Can the Liberation Warrior really bring peace..."
"The Giant Elephant is an ally of Wano Country..."
In the darkness, Amatsuki Toki began to murmur in a daze during her light dream.
She dreamed of a blurry figure, a great man who rescued Wano Country... A slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Hope will exist, and a hero will appear...

At the New World G1 Branch.
With a heavy heart, Tsuru wrote an application for transfer from the G1 General Branch to be stationed at the most dangerous G14 Base.
The G14 Branch was located in the latter half of the mid-section of the New World, relatively close to Egghead Island and Beehive Island of the Sacred Ancient Moon Empire.
The G14 Branch was the Marine fortress guarded in the future by the combat-oriented Rock 'n' Roll Soul, the beautiful Vice Admiral Doll.
She hadn't expected that in this era, this Marine fortress would welcome another beautiful Vice Admiral.
However, in this era, being close to Egghead Island meant endless danger.
After all, that was the territory of the Great Demon Venerable Gu Yue Fang Huo.
Just those three samurai and powerhouses from the Moon Kingdom would be enough to give some Marine Vice Admirals a run for their money.
As Tsuru expected, her application was approved by Kong almost instantly, without any attempts to make her stay or words of instruction.
Now, like Admiral Kong, Sengoku, and Garp, they had completely ignored her and directly approved Tsuru's dangerous request.
Kong even transferred the base commander of G14 back to the G1 General Branch.
He appointed Tsuru, a Vice Admiral, as the base commander of the G14 Branch, fully responsible for defending against the Rocks Pirates and the Sacred Ancient Moon Empire.
The next morning.
Vice Admiral Tsuru led her subordinates to set out from the port.
She stood at the bow looking at G1 Fortress... Kong didn't come to see her off, nor did Sengoku or Garp... A flash of disappointment crossed her eyes, but she quickly became resolute!
'Don't worry! Garp! Sengoku! I will definitely find a way to make you recover!'
Tsuru's expression was incredibly solemn and firm. She suddenly whipped her white Justice cloak and turned to leave.
She gave the order to set out without hesitation.
From this moment on, she was not fighting for the Marines, let alone for the World Government.
She was fighting for her comrades...

On the way from Elbaf to Wano Country.
High in the sky, a massive Flying Fleet set out majestically.
This time, the Great Hammer Corps, the Giant Warrior Pirates, the Oulsto Royal Capital Guards, and some elite Giants who actively participated... a total of three to four hundred elite Giants were setting out for Wano Country.
This time, Fang Huo did not let these Giants enter his Lost World.
Golden Lion Shiki spent quite a bit of effort to make these Giant warships float.
"Jie-ha-ha-ha! This is what you call an army march!"
Golden Lion Shiki was full of pride and incredibly excited, as if this Giant army were his own subordinates.
Marineford only had a dozen or so Giant Vice Admirals, but that scale already looked very large.
As a result, this time, Elbaf had dispatched three to four hundred elite Giants; the momentum and scale were even more exaggerated.
There was a saying that circulated in the New World and Elbaf.
'Giants are fewer than a hundred; once they reach a hundred, they are invincible.'
This Giant army could easily flatten the vast majority of Affiliated Kingdoms.
In the last eight hundred years of Elbaf's seafaring history, only the number of the Great Hammer Corps had exceeded a hundred.
Even the various generations of the Giant Warrior Pirates only had dozens of people, never exceeding a hundred, and it was rare to even exceed fifty.
Usually, there were only a dozen or twenty-odd people.
The New Giant Warrior Pirates didn't even have ten people.
The number of guards in Oulsto Royal City did exceed a hundred, but they would never all go to sea together.
So two or three hundred years ago, when the Great Hammer Corps, with a number exceeding a hundred, burst onto the scene, it quickly drew the attention and targeting of the World Government.
In the end, the World Government even deployed some of its hidden foundations to forcibly freeze and destroy this massive Giant war corps.
Otherwise, the fame the Great Hammer Corps could have made would likely have been even more exaggerated than the Giant Warrior Pirates led by the Giant hero Yaruru.

"Wo-ha-ha-ha! Harald, with Elbaf and the Rocks Pirates cooperating, we will definitely be able to overturn the Celestial Dragons!"
Rocks laughed excitedly. Looking at these Giant troops who had brought almost all of Elbaf's fine weapons, he felt they could directly go and overturn Marineford.
Unfortunately, Harald had always emphasized that the righteous Marines were not their enemies.
Only the evil and corrupt Celestial Dragons were the enemies of the New World Alliance, and even the whole world.
