Chapter 205: Chapter 205: The Fifth Gear Nika Form Joins the Battle!!
Chapter 205: The Fifth Gear Nika Form Joins the Battle!!
The next day, a major news story shook the entire world!
The Marine Headquarters announced that in six days, they would publicly execute Fire Fist Ace.
Fire Fist Ace was a well-known pirate. Most people on the Grand Line had heard his name and knew which faction he belonged to.
Normally, publicly executing a pirate—even a prominent one—wouldn't be considered earth-shattering.
But!
If this pirate also happens to be a key member of an emperor-level pirate crew, then it becomes a big deal.
Even a fool could understand: the Marine Headquarters' action was essentially a declaration of war against the Whitebeard Pirates!
And we're talking about the Whitebeard Pirates here!
In terms of power on the seas, the Whitebeard Pirates are not far behind the Marine Headquarters. They are one of the crews closest to the Pirate King's legacy.
Their captain, Whitebeard himself, is even hailed as the strongest man in the world!
No one could have anticipated this: that the Marine Headquarters would choose this moment to act.
As for whether Whitebeard would respond?
It's almost a certainty!
The Marines are about to publicly execute one of their high-ranking members. If the Whitebeard Pirates avoid confrontation, their reputation will take a massive hit!
Afterward, they'd struggle to hold their heads high anywhere on the Grand Line.
Additionally, if they back down now, it will signal to other pirates that the Whitebeard Pirates are easy targets.
This could trigger a series of serious consequences, potentially even the loss of their territories.
Most importantly, the Whitebeard Pirates' internal culture revolves around the concept of "family."
Every member calls Whitebeard "Pops," and they see each other as family.
Now, with one of their "sons" about to be publicly executed, how could they stand idly by?
Almost everyone who received the news believed that the Whitebeard Pirates would certainly act.
A colossal battle, destined to be recorded in history, was about to begin!
Six days passed in the blink of an eye.
Morning.
Chen Ye, for once, didn't sleep in.
He got up early, washed, exercised for a bit to obtain today's stats, and then donned his formal Vice Admiral uniform, preparing to head to the plaza.
Today was the pivotal day when Fire Fist Ace was to be executed.
Chen Ye, who knew the storyline well, was fully aware that Whitebeard would come.
When it came to the Whitebeard Pirates, Chen Ye wasn't particularly worried.
The only thing that made him uneasy was the presence of another transmigrator.
He had a feeling—
For such a momentous event, that individual would undoubtedly show up.
Name: Chen Ye
Constitution: 7000
Mental Power: 1026
Strength: 7000
Agility: 7000
Talent: Saitama Physique
Available Potential Points: 0
These were Chen Ye's current stats.
Having arrived in the world of One Piece, Chen Ye and Qin Muyin had spent exactly one year and eight days—373 days, to be precise.
Every day, his individual stats increased by 10 points, resulting in a total increase of 3730 points per stat.
As of today, his stats had reached a clean 7000 points!
With such overwhelming attributes, honestly speaking—
Even if Whitebeard were at his peak, Chen Ye was confident he could crush him!
Although Whitebeard is reputed to be the strongest man in the world and possesses the destructive power to "destroy the world," such claims are largely exaggerated.
For Whitebeard to actually destroy the world, he'd have to use his Tremor-Tremor Fruit powers to create earthquakes continuously, day and night, for years on end to have any hope of achieving that.
And obviously, that's impossible.
No one has that kind of stamina.
Even perpetual motion machines break down after a few years of continuous operation.
Based on the anime's portrayal, Whitebeard's peak battle was his clash with Pirate King Roger, where their Conqueror's Haki clashed head-to-head.
It was undeniably impressive, but it was still far from "world-destroying" levels.
On the way to the plaza, Chen Ye ran into Qin Muyin.
This wasn't a coincidence.
Qin Muyin had been waiting there specifically for him.
Seeing Chen Ye approach, Qin Muyin walked up to him and fell into step beside him.
"Chen Ye, how should we handle this battle?"
Chen Ye thought for a moment before replying, "Just do your best. Leave the rest to me."
Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Oh, right. If I give you a signal, make sure to coordinate with me and take down Kawashima Nao!"
Qin Muyin froze for a moment. "You think that anomaly will show up too? She doesn't seem to be part of the Whitebeard Pirates."
"She will definitely come," Chen Ye said with firm conviction. "I can feel it…"
Hearing this, Qin Muyin could only nod. She wasn't someone who acted recklessly just to show off her strength. In this secret realm, Chen Ye was undoubtedly the main force.
Elsewhere, on a small, uninhabited island near Marineford, the subject of Chen Ye and Qin Muyin's discussion, Kawashima Nao, stood watching the direction of Marine Headquarters.
Her eyes gleamed coldly as she stared across the sea.
After a moment, she suddenly spoke.
"System assistant, how many storyline points would I earn if I helped the Whitebeard Pirates win the Summit War, or even destroyed the Marines entirely?"
It seemed like she was speaking to the air, but a voice echoed in her mind, responding:
"Impossible to calculate. However, the reward would certainly be significant—enough for you to purchase a third and fourth Devil Fruit ability slot or directly acquire Conqueror's Haki."
"Oh?"
A smile spread across Kawashima Nao's face.
"Then I have to give it a try!"
Her lips were thin, but her mouth was wide. When she smiled, her entire mouth stretched unnervingly, making her expression somewhat frightening.
Kawashima Nao had a special super system that required her to alter the storyline of the One Piece world to earn points.
The greater the deviation she caused in the original plot, the more storyline points she earned as a reward.
She hadn't interfered with Ace's pursuit of Blackbeard before now because she had been waiting for this moment!
"System assistant, how many storyline points do I currently have left?"
The system's voice promptly responded in her mind, "You currently have 1,024 points remaining."
Kawashima Nao continued, "If I recall correctly, a one-time use time-travel device costs 1,000 points, right?"
"That's correct," the system replied. "However, I recommend purchasing the permanent time-travel device for just 10,000 points."
"I'll buy that after I finish this plan!"
Kawashima Nao instructed, "Purchase a one-time use time-travel device for now and set the timeline to two years into the future—when Luffy defeats Emperor Kaido with his Fifth Gear Nika Form."
"I believe that if Luffy were given a chance to go back, he would certainly fix his regrets, save his brother Ace, and kill Akainu!"
At this, Kawashima Nao flashed that unsettling smile again.
A moment later, the system responded.
"The purchase is complete, and the timeline is set. Would you like to activate it now?"
"Yes! Activate it immediately!"
In the next instant, a time-space portal appeared before Kawashima Nao.
Looking through the portal, she could see the other side.
There, just after defeating Kaido, Monkey D. Luffy and his crew were feasting on meat, replenishing their energy.
Without hesitation, Kawashima Nao stepped through the portal…
