One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 63 Time Traveler? An Irresistible Reason!

As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The phrase "As expected of the future world's greatest swordsman" instantly startled Marco, who was standing next to him!

The future...world's greatest swordsman?

The amount of information contained in this sentence is enormous!

Marco's eyelids twitched wildly, and a storm raged in his heart.

He knew Chen Ye was incredibly audacious, but he never expected him to dare to do something like this!

They directly discussed future events to the person's face!

What kind of spacetime paradox will this cause?!

However, what he didn't expect was Zoro's reaction.

When this future strongest swordsman heard this title, which would drive any swordsman crazy, his face showed no joy or excitement.

Zoro's expression narrowed even more.

That already extremely sharp edge now carried an even colder killing intent!

"Who exactly are you?"

Zoro's voice was even deeper than before, and he reinforced his defensive stance with the three swords on his body.

"Is it really meaningful to play these pointless tricks and empty promises?"

Clearly, these words had no effect on him.

In his view, this was nothing more than a clumsy trick used by the other party to shake his mind.

On the other hand, Luffy's reaction was much more direct.

He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed at Zoro with excitement, then looked at Chen Ye.

"Huh?! Zoro is going to be the world's greatest swordsman?!"

His tone was full of surprise and taken for granted.

"I knew it! Zoro is amazing!"

"..."

The vein on Zoro's forehead throbbed uncontrollably.

He turned and growled at his captain, "Idiot! Don't easily believe the enemy!"

Luffy scratched his head and gave a signature silly grin.

"But it sounds amazing!"

Watching the interaction between the capricious captain and the capricious first mate, Chen Ye's smile deepened.

He knew that explaining too much to these two "monsters" who acted on instinct was pointless.

To convince them, we must use the most direct and mind-blowing methods!

So, under Zoro's very wary gaze, Chenye took a step forward and spread his hands.

This gesture indicates that he harbors no hostility.

"Don't worry, you two, don't be nervous."

Chen Ye's smile carried a sense of all-knowing composure.

"We meant no harm."

"As for your question..."

His gaze slowly shifted from Zoro to Luffy's face.

"The answer is simple."

"Because we come from the past..."

Chen Ye paused for a moment, and then, word by word, clearly revealed the truth that was enough to overturn the entire world.

It can also be called!

"Time Traveler"

boom!

These five words were like a thunderbolt from the heavens, exploding in Luffy and Zoro's minds!

Time travel...?

The expressions on their faces froze instantly.

Marco covered his face and let out a desperate groan.

It’s over.

This guy actually said it!

This is completely out of control!

A deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

About three seconds passed.

"Hahaha!"

Luffy suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

"A time traveler? Hahaha! What an interesting name!"

He laughed as he curiously examined Chen Ye.

"Hey! You're kidding me!"

"Is that a new move you invented? It sounds amazing!"

Luffy!

Marco almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

What the hell is this new trick?!

How on earth is your brain working?!

Unlike Luffy's loud laughter, Zoro's reaction was extremely cold.

His hand, resting on the hilt of the knife, was so clenched that his fingers had turned white.

That soaring sword intent transformed into a tangible killing intent, firmly locking onto Chen Ye.

"A hallucination?"

Zoro's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"Or is this some kind of special Devil Fruit ability?"

In his view, "time travel" is simply a fantasy!

Rather than such an absurd claim, he preferred to believe that the two people in front of him had used some kind of ability he couldn't understand to create a realistic illusion, or that it was a hoax!

The purpose is to harm them, or rather, to harm Luffy!

Thinking of this, Zoro's eyes turned completely cold.

The three knives at his waist began to emit bloodthirsty hums uncontrollably!

The surrounding air seemed to be frozen by this murderous aura!

However, facing this killing intent that was enough to terrify even the top-level officers of the Four Emperors, Chen Ye seemed completely unaffected.

The smile on his face still held amusement.

He knew that Zoro was already intent on killing him.

But he doesn't care.

Because he holds an ace in his hand that no one can refuse!

"hehe."

Chen Ye chuckled and shook his head.

Whether you believe it or not is not important.

He suppressed his smile, and his eyes became more serious than ever before.

He ignored Zoro's almost drawn blade and Luffy's curious gaze.

His gaze, like a sharp arrow, pierced straight into the depths of Luffy's eyes!

"Straw Hat Boy, Monkey D. Luffy."

Chen Ye's voice became low and solemn.

"There is only one purpose for us to travel through time and space to get here."

His words instantly made the atmosphere at the scene heavy.

Luffy's smile also subconsciously faded.

He could sense that what the man in front of him was about to say was going to be very interesting!

Zoro's murderous intent faltered for a moment.

He also sensed the change in Chen Ye's aura.

That was no longer just playing around, but a kind of...

confidence!

Chen Ye looked at Luffy and, speaking slowly and deliberately, in a voice powerful enough to shake the soul, uttered a reason that Luffy could not refuse.

"We're here to invite your future self..."

"Help us..."

"Going back to the past..."

At this point, Chen Ye paused, giving everyone a moment to catch their breath.

Then, with all his might, he roared out that name etched deep within Luffy's soul!

"Rescue your brother..."

"Fire Fist, Ace!"

"BOOM—!!!"

The moment the word "Ace" was uttered from Chenye's mouth.

The whole world seemed to have been muted.

The wind has died down.

The rain stopped.

The dust drifting from the ruins seemed to freeze in mid-air.

At this moment, everything around seemed to lose its meaning.

Upon hearing this!

Zoro's murderous aura, which had been condensed to its peak, slowly crumbled in that instant!

The coldness and wariness on his face were replaced by a huge shock.

He turned his head sharply to look at his captain.

Luffy remained in the same slightly curious stance as before.

but.

All the expressions on his face vanished the moment he heard that name.

Smiles, curiosity, relaxation...

Everything vanished without a trace.

Instead, there was a deep-seated, deathly stillness.

His body began to tremble slightly, uncontrollably.

Those once clear and bright black eyes were instantly filled with endless pain, regret, and despair!

Two years ago, in Marineford.

That figure who shielded him from Akainu's fatal blow with his own body.

That face, with a satisfied smile, slowly faded away in his arms.

Those were his dying words, "Thank you... for loving me..."

Scene after scene, like the sharpest knife, relentlessly slashed at his heart again and again!

That was the pain of his entire life!

It is a scar in his heart that can never heal!

It was his greatest regret, the one that would wake him from a nightmare in the middle of the night!

"Ace..."

Luffy's lips moved silently.

Just uttering that name seemed to drain all his strength.

He seemed to have been ripped out of his soul, leaving only an empty shell standing there.

Dead silence.

A deathly silence so oppressive it was suffocating.

Chen Ye looked at him quietly without saying a word.

he knows.

He played that trump card correctly.
