One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 225: Double Good News!

After Chen Ye's figure completely disappeared into the portal, all time in the outside world was instantly cut off.

He rapidly traversed a bizarre and fantastical time tunnel in a freefall motion.

This tunnel is woven together by countless indescribable, dazzlingly colorful ribbons of light.

The surrounding scenery was rushing back and forth at a speed exceeding the speed of light, and the concepts of time and space were completely confused here, turning into the purest torrent of spacetime energy.

However, Chen Ye himself, who was in the center of this time tunnel, was completely unaffected, and not even a hem of his clothes fluttered.

This wasn't his first time traveling through a time tunnel; he had experience from previous trips.

Chen Ye was already used to it.

So he was too lazy to observe the energy torrents in the spacetime tunnel.

Randomly, Chen Ye's consciousness sank directly into his mind.

They communicated with the system and began to take stock of the final gains from the trip to God Valley.

After all, this is indeed a good opportunity.

"system."

Chen Ye's voice rang out in the consciousness space, without causing any ripples.

"Have you got the Dark-Dark Fruit you mentioned that can be upgraded sorted out?"

The cold, mechanical voice responded immediately, with an alarmingly high efficiency.

[Reporting to the host, please rest assured, using the dark energy emitted by Im from the God Valley battlefield as the core material, the Dark-Dark Fruit Erebus form upgrade and transformation is 100% complete!]

All relevant features have been deeply optimized and reconstructed according to your highest commands, and are currently in their best state, ready for your integration and use!

After the system finished speaking, a virtual panel unfolded in Chen Ye's consciousness.

It was a fruit that was completely black.

Inside the fruit, golden specks of light subtly shimmer.

It still looks like a Dark Fruit, but the spiral patterns on its surface are much deeper, drawing people's attention into them.

[Dark-Dark Fruit - Erebus Form]

【Core Feature 1: Can Create Human-Style Black Holes】: The precision of controlling the intensity of gravity range is greatly improved, and multiple gravitational singularities can be created.

【Core Feature 2: Dark Space】: Greatly expands space storage capacity, enhances stability, and allows for short-distance space jumps.

【Core Feature 3: Dark Devouring】: The ability to strip power from users is retained, and the new "Energy Devouring" feature can directly absorb and transform any attack from any creature.

【New Trait: Erebus Power】: Allows for a limited fusion of dark and light powers to create chaotic energy with the attribute of "annihilation".

The above are just the basic abilities of the new Dark-Dark Fruit. Please develop the remaining power yourself through actual combat!

well.

These two words popped into Chen Ye's mind.

Erebus.

The true god of darkness, the embodiment of darkness.

From this day forward, he will simultaneously wield both light and darkness, two supreme powers located at the two poles of the world's origin.

With this power, he is no longer simply either light or darkness.

He is chaos.

It is possible to wield two extreme powers simultaneously.

Now, we can happily increase the strength of Im in various timelines.

The "god" on the Void Throne.

His proud immortality and dark energy were completely annihilated by an unprecedented power.

The expression on their faces must have been priceless.

Chen Ye had already imagined the expressions of Im in various timelines.

An expectation brimming with morbid curiosity.

He then shifted his attention from the fruit and asked his second question.

"Very good. How is Shanks' mother, who was previously stored here, recovering?"

This was also an important piece in his acquisition of God Valley.

That woman's existence has an immeasurable impact on the future of the Red-Haired Pirates and on the course of the entire world.

The system delivered more good news.

[Please rest assured, host, the vital signs of Shanks' mother are stable, and her soul energy is gradually recovering under the nourishment of the Sun God energy you provided. She is expected to awaken from her severe slumber shortly after your return!]

The double dose of good news made Chen Ye even happier.

This trip to God Valley was worthwhile.

Not only did they defuse the future time bomb that was Rocks ahead of time, but they also turned him into their trump card.

Incidentally, the ultimate upgrade of the Dark-Dark Fruit was also completed.

This is a crucial subplot involving the rescue of Shanks' mother.

Killing three birds with one stone.

That was a perfect move.

After taking stock of his gains, Chen Ye prepared to return.

Ahead of the time tunnel, at the end of the endless bands of colorful light, a dazzling white exit suddenly appeared.

The light was pure and white.

It tore apart the entire scroll of time and space, carrying the spatial coordinates unique to his era.

The time for our return has come.

Chen Ye composed himself, his expression returning to calm, and took a step forward.

The distorted light and shadow around us instantly transformed from an abstract torrent of colors into reality.

however!

The expected feel of the solid, slightly salty deck of the Moby Dick did not come.

Something is wrong!

There was no Moby Dick deck beneath my feet.

There was no smell of sea breeze or rum.

Only the ground beneath our feet trembled violently and violently, like a sieve!

A violent tremor almost made him lose his balance!

Boom!

The whole world is groaning.

trembling.

A pungent smell of sulfur filled my nostrils, mixed with the smell of something burning.

He frowned.

A wave of heat hit us.

The air felt like it was about to catch fire.

Chen Ye's heart sank suddenly, and an extremely ominous premonition surged into his mind.

He suddenly opened his eyes!

The next second, what came into his view was a terrifying scene that looked like the end of the world!

The sky is not blue.

Thick volcanic ash permeated the sky.

A somber, dark red.

Not far away, a huge volcano covered in cracks was frantically spewing crimson lava and thick smoke into the sky!

The massive volcanic bomb was launched thousands of meters into the air, trailing a long fiery tail as it crashed down to the ground.

Each landing was accompanied by a deafening roar.

The ground trembled violently.

Crimson lava flowed down the mountain, destroying forests and buildings along its path.

Wherever they went, they left only scorched earth and death.

"Wow!"

Chen Ye was also stunned.

"What's going on?!"

He looked around, and all he saw was unfamiliar scenery.

An island that is experiencing a natural disaster.

This is not the Moby Dick at all!

It wasn't any familiar place in the new world either!

Did the time travel go wrong?

This thought was the first one to pop into his head.
