Chapter 365 Hades' Breath, Waiting Only for the Right Moment!

【Time-bound Fruit】

[Analyzed]

[The Essence of Fruit, Wishes, and Time]

[Fruit Effect - Allows manipulation of time, enabling oneself and others to travel through timelines]

[LV3: All fruit effects have been acquired. You can manipulate the surrounding time, accelerating or slowing it down to a certain extent, but you cannot reverse time. The acceleration range is 1 to 30 times.]

[LV4: Deep Fruit Development, allowing brief glimpses into the future; the duration of this glimpse is uncontrollable.]

[LV5: Fruit Awakening - Time Travel. The ability to glimpse the future is enhanced, allowing for brief and controllable precognition of the future. This ability can be instinctively activated when facing imminent life-or-death danger to avoid it. It can teleport oneself or other beings to a future timeline, but the specific time and location of the journey cannot be controlled; it can only transport them to key points in the future world.] The control and perception of time are extremely strong, and even in environments where the external world cannot be observed or perceived, the passage of time can be clearly perceived.

"I can't believe such a thing happened..."

Looking at the information displayed in the Fruit Encyclopedia, Roy's expression showed clear surprise: "This fruit is actually here."

The Time Fruit—of course he knew about this fruit.

Even for Roy, who has seen and mastered countless Devil Fruits, this Devil Fruit is still very special.

It is not only one of the few time-related Devil Fruits in the entire One Piece world, but also the only known Devil Fruit that allows the user to travel through time completely with others.

Even for Roy, who now controls the bloodline factor source energy, this ability is still difficult for him to achieve. Although the bloodline factor source energy can be described as omnipotent, time travel requires the collection of corresponding "wishes" and "cognitions", which is an extremely difficult thing in itself.

"Is it because of Madam Shi's will?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Roy had an answer in his mind.

He knew that the previous owner of the Time-Time Fruit was none other than the wife of the previous shogun of Wano Country—that is, the wife of Kozuki Oden, Toki Amagi.

Lady Toki herself was a person from the blank century eight hundred years ago. After time travel, she came to the era of Kozuki Oden and formed a bond with him.

Based on the original work, it seems that the reason why Toki traveled through time was to ensure the opening of Wano Country and to ensure that Joy Boy's dream could be realized.

She is also one of Im's enemies.

As Kozuki Oden was cooked to death by Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi, Oden Castle, where Amagi Toki was located, was attacked by a hundred beasts.

At that time, after using his ability to send his son Momonosuke and his retainers away, Amatsuki Toki died in a sea of ​​fire, leaving behind the prophecy of "Nine Shadows Falling from the Sky".

Now it seems...

"That Lady Shi's development of the fruit is quite impressive—it allows people to travel through time, and the prophecy should have the effect of seeing the future." Her fruit should have awakened by now.

"Perhaps that's why, after her death, her will influenced the fruit... causing it to grow here."

Roy knew very well.

After the original user dies, the Devil Fruit should be reborn anywhere in the world through any object with the concept of a "fruit".

The possibility that it happened to grow up in Wano Country, and also happened to grow up inside Hades, is incredibly low.

But now that this has clearly happened, Roy can't help but have some guesses.

Perhaps it was the influence of Lady Shi's will before her death that caused this fruit to be born here.

"Pluto exists within the old Land of Peace, at the foot of Mount Fuji—to leave, it must carve through the mountain's interior and blast open the 'enclosure' surrounding the Land of Peace."

"In other words—its birth coincided with the opening of Wano Country."

"Perhaps even until his death, Amatsuki Toki will not be able to give up this obsession."

Even after she died, she still wanted to see the Pluton set sail and open the country of Wano.

Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but sigh.

Despite the failure of Toki Amatsuki and Oden Kozuki's plan to open Wano Country to the world.

But their awareness and sacrifice still carry their due weight.

Fortunately...

Their wish won't have to wait long.

Mao Tu took a deep look at the spot where the Devil Fruit had been.

He then stopped and quickly entered the interior of Hades through the passage.

Finally, what appeared before him was a huge machine.

It was a furnace of an unusually large size—its structure was ancient and mysterious, with countless pipes and gears connecting it to various parts of the ship's hull.

As someone who has seen the design of Hades, Rabbit knows... this is the source of Hades' power.

"When the flames in the furnace blaze fiercely, the most powerful warship capable of destroying everything will set sail."

That was the content inscribed on the design blueprints of Hades.

But at this moment, the flames in that furnace had been extinguished for countless years.

That's why it has been quietly moored here for so many years.

The flames that ignited this warship were clearly not ordinary flames.

"The Eternal Flame..."

Mao Tu knew this very well—only that mysterious, ancient flame, which could be described as having limitless energy, could restart this warship.

Coincidentally...

"I don't have the Eternal Flame, but..."

As she murmured softly, Mao Tu gently raised her hand.

A box that was clearly made of advanced technology appeared in his hand.

The box was labeled "Vegapunk-0".

"Click".

As the rabbit opened the box, the flame contained within, held by a circular energy confinement device, became clearly visible.

That was...

"I still have the Mother Flame."

While calmly muttering to himself, Mao Tu gently took out the ball of flame.

His arm reached forward, and the circular restraint device was precisely aligned with the center of the enormous furnace.

Then...

"Buzz!"

Rabbit then saw the mother flame being sucked into the furnace, where it floated, resembling a miniature sun.

Then...

"Boom!"

A deep, resonant hum instantly filled the entire cockpit and even penetrated the thick hull of the ship.

A faint glow appeared before Usagi's eyes—the entire interior of Pluto's warship, the glow emanating from countless ancient engravings seemed to illuminate the entire old Wano Country!

The Rabbit understood what that symbolized.

That was the first breath of Pluto, the god of the underworld, when he was awakened after sleeping for eight hundred years.

It has longed to reaffirm its existence and power to the world.

However, at this moment, Rabbit did not immediately choose to fully activate this ancient warship.

Only after confirming that "Pluto" was indeed usable did a sharp look appear in his eyes.

"Very good, then... the preparations are almost complete."

Feeling the deep, rhythmic pulse emanating from the ship beneath his feet, like the awakening of a sleeping beast's heart, the faint light flowed through the dim passage, illuminating his calm face.

He slowly raised his head and looked up, as if he could see through the cover of Fujiyama to the Flower Capital, Oni Island, and... this world.

"Now, all we have to do is wait."
