Chapter 67 Parting Words!
Seeing Luffy and Zoro looking like they were about to rush out and fight at any moment, Chen Ye was extremely satisfied, but he deliberately put on a stern face.
"Okay, one last thing."
"Luffy, Zoro."
Chen Ye's smile faded, and his expression became more serious than ever before.
His gaze swept back and forth between Luffy and Zoro, with an unquestionable scrutiny.
"You two, don't be so confident."
"You just finished fighting that monster Kaido, you know how exhausted you are."
"I don't care how good you feel right now. Before I summon you, the only thing you need to do is rest by all means and get back to your peak condition!"
He paused, his eyes sharpening like knives.
"Because what you'll be facing then won't be just some Tom, Dick, or Harry."
"They are the Navy Headquarters' top fighting force, those three monster admirals who also stand at the pinnacle of the world!"
"And there's the wise strategist Sengoku, and the naval hero Garp!"
"It is the most powerful machine of violence in the entire world government!"
I hope you two understand!
"I went through all the trouble of crossing time and space to find you all, and I don't want my trump card to fail because of carelessness."
These words were both a reminder and a warning.
Chen Ye knew very well that although Luffy and Zoro were very strong in the future, they had just defeated Kaido, which was definitely a Pyrrhic victory.
The Marineford War was no child's play.
Any underestimation of the enemy could lead to total defeat!
However, Luffy's reaction to his solemn entrustment was completely unexpected.
There was no solemn nod, nor any serious assurance.
Luffy grinned, revealing his signature bright smile that seemed to dispel all gloom.
"Hehehehe!"
Don't worry!
"Leave the fighting to us!"
He then punched himself in the chest with a thud, and a flame of confidence almost burst forth from his clear eyes!
"At that time!"
"Just watch our performance, that's all!"
confidence!
Absolute confidence!
It's filled with Monkey D. Luffy-esque, irrational absolute confidence!
Zoro, on the other hand, is even simpler.
He just stood there coolly, holding three knives the whole time.
He didn't speak, but the sharp glint in his single eye and the battle-ready curve of his lips said it all.
Did something go wrong?
nonexistent.
They have been waiting for this day for far too long!
To make up for that regret that would haunt them for the rest of their lives, they were willing to give anything!
Admiral?
Warring States Period?
Anyone who dares to stand in their way to save Ace...
Then let's cut them all down!
Seeing the two people react in exactly the same way, Chen Ye was taken aback at first, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"good!"
He nodded heavily, and the last trace of worry in his heart completely vanished.
He's overthinking it.
For two men with such willpower, any reminder would be superfluous.
More than anyone else, they longed for that war to come!
"Marco, let's go."
Chen Ye didn't linger for a moment and turned to Marco, who was still in a daze.
"Huh? Oh... okay!"
Marco suddenly realized what was happening and quickly followed.
The words fell.
Chen Ye walked to a relatively empty area of ruins and raised his right hand again.
Om-!
The familiar golden light gathered in his palm once more, more dazzling and more solid than ever before.
As he waved his hand, the space in front of him rippled like water, and a stable and profound golden vortex appeared out of thin air.
The portal to time and space has opened once again!
"Luffy, Zoro."
Just before stepping into the portal, Chen Ye turned back and took one last look at them.
"Wait for me."
"The next time we meet, it will be on the battlefield!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he and Marco were completely swallowed up by the golden vortex and disappeared.
The portal to time and space slowly closed, eventually turning into specks of golden light and dissipating into the air.
Peace has returned to the summit of Ghost Island.
Only Luffy and Zoro remained, standing on the ruins, gazing in the direction where Chen Ye had disappeared, silent for a long time.
But the soaring fighting spirit emanating from them had already reached its peak!
. . . . . .
The world spun around.
The light and shadow are distorted.
When Marco regained consciousness and his feet touched solid ground, he heard the familiar sound of waves and the howling of the sea wind.
next second.
The familiar sea breeze, carrying a salty and warm scent, rushed towards me.
In my ears, there was the "whoosh" of waves crashing against the rocks and the clear calls of seabirds.
Chen Ye and Marco reappeared on the uninhabited island located on the edge of the calm zone.
They are back.
They returned to their own time and space from two years in the future.
Marco, who was standing next to him, finally recovered from the extreme shock.
He watched Chen Ye's retreating figure, his eyes filled with an extremely complex mix of emotions. There was awe, gratitude, and confusion, but above all, there was an unprecedented sense of...reassurance.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask countless questions, but not knowing where to begin.
Ultimately, all the questions boiled down to just one sentence.
"Chen Ye...we're now..."
He took a deep breath of the air belonging to this era, feeling the four radiant [Time-Space Imprints] within his body that could be activated at any time. An unprecedented sense of confidence and control arose spontaneously.
All the pieces are in place.
All the cards are already in our hands.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through endless distances, looking towards the distant horizon.
That direction is the core of our objective.
It's Marine Headquarters, Marineford!
A chilling yet intensely fanatical killing intent erupted from his body!
"Naval Headquarters..."
"World Government..."
Are you ready to receive the big gift I've prepared for you?
