Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Luffy's not here, so there's no one to take sides!

Two women with very different styles but equally beautiful suddenly started fighting, creating a chaotic scene.

Nika watched from the side, shaking her head and covering her face with her little paws.

"Why are these two women fighting again? Luffy has only been gone for less than five minutes, right?"

She couldn't help but complain.

However, upon closer reflection, similar scenarios seem to have occurred quite a few times over the past year, mostly with Hancock bullying Perona unilaterally, and then Perona fighting back.

She's almost used to it.

"As for Luffy, his experience this time has been quite rich. Going back to the past... I hope he won't turn history upside down."

However, knowing Luffy as she does, if he doesn't cause chaos, is he still Luffy?

Nika looked towards the space where the two had disappeared. Now that things had returned to calm, she could still feel a lingering echo of the chaotic spacetime.

Devil Fruits choose the most suitable master.

The navy officer who ate the Time-Time Fruit was also chosen because he was chosen.

I really don't know what kind of trouble this will cause.

......

Meanwhile, in a strange, dark passage.

A rope of light, formed from the residual power of time, tightly bound the two bodies together.

Because of the way the ropes were wrapped around them, the two were almost face to face.

Their bodies were tightly bound to the ground, in an extremely awkward and ambiguous position.

Luffy has returned to his normal form, wearing only a pair of tattered pants, his upper body is bare, and some small wounds on his body are healing rapidly.

These wounds were indeed caused by Gion in some ways; the Time Fruit is truly amazing.

He looked down at the unconscious woman pressed tightly against his chest.

"Hey, wake up already. Stop pretending to be asleep if you're not dead," Luffy said.

Gion's eyelashes trembled a few times before she reluctantly opened her eyes.

This guy has Observation Haki; nothing can fool him.

The condition of Gion looks much worse.

Her face was pale, and there were traces of blood on the corners of her mouth and the front of her clothes.

Luffy's punch earlier struck the surrounding space, and as a user of the Time-Time Fruit, he also suffered considerable damage.

The vice admiral's uniform was torn in several places, revealing his fair skin and graceful curves, but no one had time to appreciate it at the moment.

Luffy could sense that the white light ropes binding the two were slowly dissipating, but the passage itself seemed to still be operating, moving them toward some unknown coordinate.

"You're really carefree. The ropes around your body look like they're about to come undone, which means this situation is about to end," Luffy said.

If the destination is the sea, then Gion, as a Devil Fruit user, should just obediently go into the sea.

Gion glared angrily, about to move, but the sensation of their bodies pressed tightly together instantly sobered her up.

A blush appeared on her pale face.

That's why she doesn't want to wake up.

A navy officer standing so close to a pirate... what kind of behavior is that!

She glared fiercely at Luffy; if looks could kill, she would have already taken him down with her.

Gion's eyes were cold: "I have achieved my goal."

“You’re lying,” Luffy said.

"you,"

"What do you mean, 'you'?"

"I,"

"What do you mean, 'me'?"

Luffy pouted, "You woman are too reckless. I thought your abilities were more advanced, but this is only the initial awakening stage."

Gion turned her head away, avoiding Luffy's direct gaze and their lips that were almost touching.

Who knew Luffy's ability could actually shatter time!

As a user of the Time-Time Fruit, even though she is currently severely injured and weak, she can clearly sense her current state.

The two were enveloped by the remaining power of time, and their destination was definitely not the future she had envisioned.

It's the past!

But it's impossible to say.

"Well, it's good that we didn't go to the future."

Luffy suddenly chuckled, "Going back in time wouldn't be bad."

Maybe I'll see my grandfather Roger when he was young... and the great pirates of that era.

Gion suddenly turned around: "How do you know we've gone back to the past?!"

This is something only she, as someone with special abilities, would know.

"Guess?" Luffy tilted his head.

This is naturally thanks to Nika.

There was a mismatch between his communication and Nika's schedule.

However, he knew one thing: he could simply return to the point in time that Nika had mentioned.

"I,"

Gion was so angry at Luffy's irritating reply that her chest heaved, but she was helpless.

Because of overusing her Devil Fruit powers, she is now completely powerless and even struggling to break free from the dissipating time ropes, let alone teach this rubber bastard a lesson.

Moreover, the two of them were now tied together in this shameful position, and with each movement, their bodies inevitably rubbed against each other, making her both angry and anxious, yet unable to move. She could only turn her blushing face to the side again, trying to avoid seeing it.

"So this is the power of the Time-Time Fruit?"

Luffy looked around curiously, "Devil Fruits are really amazing."

It can send people back to the past or future in this way.

Devil Fruits truly are synonymous with miracles.

Gion remained silent.

Could the Navy of the past... have stopped Straw Hat Luffy?

Luffy doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Gion.

The navy and pirates are like sworn enemies; he was even chased and beaten up by his grandfather before.

However, he still wants to cooperate with Gion.

To return to the future, we would need the assistance of Gion, the user of the Time-Time Fruit.

Judging from her appearance,

"You're not willing to cooperate?" Luffy asked.

Gion coldly said, "If it were a few hundred years in the past, that would be even better, since you wouldn't live to see the future anyway."

"That's true,"

Luffy nodded. "But you seem to have forgotten one thing. I can take your Devil Fruit, then use its power, and then we can go back, right?"

One sentence left Gion stunned.

"Impossible!" she exclaimed.

The rope loosened slightly, and Luffy broke free, took the black sword from his waist, transformed it into a short sword, and held it against Gion's neck.

Luffy grinned, "Why is it impossible?"

One sentence left Gion stunned.

Yes, why is it impossible?

The man in front of us already possesses two Devil Fruits, which is unprecedented for us, so it doesn't seem impossible for him to have one more.

She was horrified to discover that the situation was completely out of her control.

If she didn't cooperate, the Time Fruit was taken away, and she was killed.

What's the point of all she did—cooperating and sending Luffy back to the original timeline?

Both ends are blocked!

When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one.

Only by living can we have a future.

So Gion compromised.

"I will cooperate." The aura emanating from Gion dissipated and could no longer be gathered.

She witnessed the gap between the two of them.

Luffy secretly breathed a sigh of relief and praised himself for his cleverness.

Lying without whistling is a huge step forward; I never expected Gion to believe something I said offhand.

He had no idea that his body could accommodate a third Devil Fruit!

"Do you know when we've returned to?" Luffy asked.

Gion was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, but it shouldn't be too long, because the passage is almost at its end."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding light suddenly accelerated its rotation, forming a huge vortex.

Gion was pulled into Luffy's arms, and as their bodies pressed together, she could even feel the outline of Luffy's abs, which made her cheeks burn.
