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

Tian Yueshi held up a finger and said seriously, "Moreover, the location where it appears is completely random. It could be right next to us, or it could be hundreds of meters away. We must enter the wormhole within those ten seconds to complete a time jump."

Luffy narrowed his eyes. "What if we don't get in within the time limit? What will happen then?"

"No problem,"

With an innocent look on his face, Tenzuki said, "I can use this ability again in a year. After a year, we can try it again."

Luffy's expression turned strange.

When he looked at Tianyue, or rather, he looked at another consciousness that might be listening within this body.

"Gion, are you planning to use this ability to send me back to some other era?" Luffy asked with a hint of amusement.

What a plan!

If a time wormhole appeared, Gion would go in herself and leave Luffy behind.

It seems he can only live for another eight hundred years.

Tengetsu exclaimed, a blank expression on his face.

A soft hum echoed in her mind; it was Gion.

You were right.

Amatsuki touched her cheek with her finger.

It seems that it's difficult for Lord Luffy and Lord Gion to reconcile.

This isn't about grudges, but purely a matter of stance.

According to the memories that Tenzuki shared with Gion, at least for now, Gion still appreciates Lord Luffy.

But while we may admire them, Gion is a Marine, and Luffy is a pirate.

This conflict of identities is like an insurmountable chasm between the two.

"Could this be the legendary tragic love story of two people forced to separate because of their opposing stances?"

"hour!"

The image of Gion's furious shout echoed in my mind.

Tenzuki chuckled, then quickly covered her mouth when she saw Luffy looking over.

.....

Traveling through a time wormhole is not a smooth process.

In reality, the process was quite bumpy.

Each time I enter a new wormhole, I feel like I've been thrown into a washing machine; the world spins around me, and my senses of time and space become blurred.

The only thing we can be sure of is each other.

She didn't know how much time had passed when Tianyue Shi woke up; she didn't even remember when she had fallen asleep.

In the turbulent flow of time, consciousness becomes blurred, and sleep becomes intermittent.

Sometimes, in the blink of an eye, you might have completed several jumps, or it might have only been a few seconds.

When she woke up, the first thing she saw was Luffy.

He sat cross-legged beside her, his eyes closed, his bare upper body rising and falling slightly with his breath, the muscle lines appearing exceptionally clear under the passage of time.

Tengetsu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Time has been teleported many times already.

Because the location of each teleportation is different, sometimes on the ground, but most of the time they fall into forests, deserts, snow-capped mountains, and once they even landed directly on the roof of a town.

Sometimes, however, they can be transported to the sea surface, which is the most terrifying part.

Tian Yueshi remembered clearly that during the third teleportation, they fell directly into the middle of the vast ocean.

All around was an endless expanse of blue, with not a single piece of land in sight.

Devil Fruit users experience a sense of powerlessness when their bodies come into contact with seawater. Even before touching it, Toki's entire body stiffened upon seeing the seawater.

The next second, a rubber arm suddenly stretched out and wrapped tightly around her waist.

Lord Luffy can actually ride the waves!

"Hurry up!"

Luffy pulled him by the arm, and Tenzuki fell into his arms.

That was a real princess carry.

The man's chest was broad and warm, and his arms were strong and powerful, steadily supporting her back and the back of her legs.

Tenzuki's thin kimono clung to her body, outlining her youthful yet beautiful curves.

She instinctively wrapped her arms around Luffy's neck and buried her face in his chest.

Thump, thump.

Thinking back to how it felt, Tengetsu blushed.

She could never forget that broad-mindedness.

"It will be eight hundred years from now soon."

Tian Yue muttered softly, then secretly glanced at the man beside her who was resting with his eyes closed.

It's Lord Luffy.

Are you resting?

Tian Yue patted his chest, and a hint of tears welled up in his eyes as he thought about how he felt back then.

She recalled those fragments from her Gion memories. Was the Luffy she had met really the same person as the powerful Fifth Emperor from her Gion memories?

During breaks in his journey, he would tell her about his crewmates on the ship.

In her opinion, Luffy is not only strong, but also mature, handsome, and has a great personality.

The most direct proof is that even the Gion Navy, which is an opposing faction, admires Luffy.

In the memories shared by Amaterasu, Gion admitted to herself more than once that if she weren't a naval officer, she might have admired this man.

For a sheltered young lady, this kind of man is a deadly weapon.

Thinking of this, Tianyue Shi revealed a girlish demeanor.

She moved her body carefully, like a cat stealing fish, and quietly leaned against Luffy's chest.

It's very warm.

Very sturdy.

I could hear a steady heartbeat.

Tianyue closed her eyes contentedly, a sweet smile unconsciously curving her lips.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Luffy suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

"what!"

Amatsuki was startled; her speed was actually faster than Luffy's.

Control of the body has shifted.

Yes, that's right. Now that Amaterasu Toki has figured out how to take turns appearing with Gion, Amaterasu Toki is clearly in a more dominant position.

Gion appeared.

As a result, Gion now reaches out and leans against Luffy's chest.

Gion: "..."

Luffy: "..."

An eerie silence fell over the time wormhole.

Gion remained stiffly in that position, her hand still resting on Luffy's chest.

She could feel the warm skin beneath her palms and the firm chest muscles.

"What kind of expression is that on your face?!" Gion suddenly jumped up in a fit of rage and drew her sword.

She noticed the "I understand" look on Luffy's face!

"I see."

"What do you know!"

Gion wished he could drag Amagi Toki out of the depths of his consciousness and whip his corpse.

As a result, the woman acted like a coward, hiding in a corner of her mind and pretending to be dead, and she couldn't do anything about it.

“I didn’t do it, it was all that idiot Shi’s fault,” Gion tried to explain.

"Okay, okay, I know it was an accident, right?"

"Yes! It was an accident!" Gion gritted his teeth.

"Then we can continue our journey."

Luffy pointed ahead.

Following the direction he pointed, Gion saw a bright white light appear at the end of the time wormhole.

Luffy saw a light ahead. Having made so many time jumps, he was naturally quite familiar with what it was.

"Oh, we're out, we're out! We're almost back in the future."

Luffy stood up excitedly, stretched out his arms, and wrapped his rubber arms around Gion's waist like ropes.

“Wait, I can walk by myself!” Gion protested.

But Luffy had already skillfully tucked her under his arm, just like he had done dozens of times before.

"I am not Tenzuki Toki!" Gion struggled in embarrassment.

It was completely useless.
