Just like when Zoro first met Peach Rabbit, he could tell that he was a very powerful swordsman.
When Wood appeared in front of Xiaoju, as a swordsman, he also felt a sharp feeling on his back!
Although they haven't fought yet, the feeling Wood gives Xiao Ju now is that of danger, extremely dangerous. Just by feeling the opponent's aura, Xiao Ju knows that she is far from the opponent's opponent.
Even Xiaoju now believes that the injuries on Zoro and Luffy were caused by Wood.
"No, this big brother is not a bad guy, he saved Xiaoyu from the bad guys.
And if it wasn't for him, Luffy and the others would have been hacked to death by a very powerful female swordsman."
Looking at Wood in front of her, Xiaoju carefully protected Ahe and Xiaoyu behind her with a vigilant expression, and her right hand had already grasped the handle of the long knife at her waist.
Fortunately, before he took action, Xiaoyu, who was being protected behind him, saw Wood and quickly stuck his head out to explain the misunderstanding.
"That's the thing. I'm an old acquaintance with the two guys lying inside, so I'm not your enemy.
And if I really want to take action, even if you are Kozuki Oden's retainer, you probably won't be able to stop me."
After hearing what Wood said, Xiaoju...that is, Kiku no Cheng's vigilance, which had been slightly relaxed, suddenly became alert.
Because from the beginning to the end, it seems that he has never revealed his identity, right?
Not to mention Wood, even Luffy and Zoro now thought he was the waitress at Ahe Tea House, but Wood, whom he had never met before, now directly revealed his identity.
You must know that even people who know him may not be able to recognize him at a glance when they see him now.
If you want to ask why, it's because Xiaoju is not from this era. He came here from the past twenty years ago.
It sounds quite outrageous, but it is actually the case.
After Kozuki Oden died at the hands of Kaido and Kutan Orochi, when Kozuki Oden's wife Kozuki Toki saw the letter left by Kozuki Oden, she knew that the person who could defeat Kaido would be 20 years later.
Appear.
In order to preserve the vitality of the Kozuki clan, when Tengetsu ate the "Time Fruit", he used the fruit's ability to kill the young master Momonosuke, as well as the Kinmen Guards, Kanjuro, and Raizo among the "Nine Red Scabbards"
, as well as Kikunochori and other five people, were sent to the present 20 years later.
When he read this chapter, Wood also felt that the world of pirates was getting more and more outrageous. Forget about Luo's Devil Fruit that had the ability to resemble "space", now there are even Devil Fruits that can travel through time.
Of course, it is different from the setting of the cultivation system where time is respected and space is king. Even though the "time fruit" looks very awesome, it has limited improvement in overall combat power. In other words, the sky and moon time of using it are limited.
, the level is really too low.
In short, this seemingly very awesome fruit does not seem to be too eye-catching in the original plot, and it can only send people or things to the future, but cannot go back to the past.
Wood is actually quite interested in the ability of the "Time Fruit", and it should even be said that it was one of the fruit abilities that he wanted to obtain most.
Although the "Time Fruit" can only travel to the future and cannot go back to the past, what does it matter? As long as the time traveled can be decided by oneself, this is one of the most awesome fruits.
Facts have proved that people in the pirate world are still not big enough, so those relationships that could have been quite awesome are turned into useless ones.
Tengetsu used this fruit either to travel from 830 years ago to 20 years ago and marry Kozuki Oden, or to send Momonosuke and the others to take refuge 20 years in the future. In Wood's opinion, it was simply a waste of natural resources.
People in the world of pirates are not very imaginative, but after watching a large number of anime, he knows how high the development value of this "time fruit" is.
Just like Wood is fighting other people, he can completely use the power of the "Time Fruit" to send himself to the future a few seconds later. Isn't this a proper "teleport" skill, and it is still unpredictable.
Judging actions.
Another example is that Wood sends the weapon that falls out of his hand directly to the future a few seconds later. This is almost like a weapon with "causality"!
To put it bluntly, Tianyue Shi doesn't have such a big brain, and he should have normal thinking and logic.
Since we have the ability to send Momonosuke and the others to the future, why not send them to a more distant future?
No matter how awesome Kaido is as a creature, he will have a lifespan limit. If Momonosuke and the others are sent fifty years later, or even a hundred years later, no matter how strong Kaido is, he will have already become a cup of loess.
?
On the one hand, he said that he had to travel through time and space to avoid Kaido's pursuit and revive the family, but on the other hand, he sent Momonosuke and the others to die in front of Kaido who had grown up 20 years later. Wood said that he really couldn't understand.
Is it just because Kozuki Oden said that in 20 years, someone who can defeat Kaido will appear? Such nonsense?
Or, in order to avenge Kozuki Oden, Kaido must be defeated by them?
All in all, there were too many things worth complaining about in the Wano chapter, and they were quite outrageous, so Wood didn't read too much at the time. Because he skipped through it, he only knew the general plot.
Wood was already in this world 20 years ago. Unfortunately, even if he had an idea about the "Time Fruit" at that time, he couldn't do anything at all.
Because at that time he was just a fisherman, let alone playing the difficult Wano dungeon. Even if he went out to sea and encountered a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million, he would probably attack him on the spot.
"Kikunochei, right? Not only do I know that you are Kozuki Oden's retainer, but I also know that you were sent to me by Tengetsu Toki twenty years ago.
But as for how I know, I can only say that I have my own special source of information, and I can't explain much to you.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The purpose of my coming here this time is similar to yours, and Kaido is also one of my goals, so you don't need to be so wary of me.
And the two guys lying inside, if their injuries are not treated, they will not die, but they will probably not have a chance to participate in the subsequent battle."
Xiaoju, who was guarding the door, was still guessing about Wood's identity. However, in the next second, Wood's figure had disappeared in front of him at a speed that he could not understand at all.
When he regained consciousness again, Wood had already appeared behind him, and slowly walked towards Luffy and Zoro who were lying on the bed.
Xiao Ju originally wanted to do something, but Ah He who was standing by had already reached out and held his shoulder, signaling him not to act impulsively.
"I think you should also be quite clear that we have no ability to stop him at all."
Ahe is actually Jinmenwei's childhood sweetheart. When Jinmenwei was sent to the present by Tian Yue from twenty years ago, for Jinmenwei, it may only be a blink of an eye.
But for Ahe, the other party has been waiting for him for twenty years, from the original young girl to the current mature woman.
However, even so, Ahe was still willing to wait for the Kinmen Guards, and even used the teahouse to help Kikino Cheng conceal his identity.
"But Sister Ahe, he not only knows my identity, but also knows the secret that we are people in the past. He may also be one of the insiders back then. If you don't figure it out..."
"Wow, big brother, you are so powerful. Is this also the power of a Devil Fruit? What Devil Fruit are you eating?"
Kikuchi Cheng and Ahe were still discussing and guessing about Wood's identity, but the exclamation of Xiaoyu on the other side attracted their attention.
And when Kikunocheng and Ahe looked over because of Xiaoyu's exclamation, they were also stunned on the spot.
Because they discovered that at this moment, Wood was holding a knife in one hand, and a burst of fluorescent green light emitted from the other hand.
Under the shroud of this burst of bright green light, Kikunouchi and Ahe were surprised to find that the extremely serious injuries on Luffy and Zoro were actually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even Xiaoyu, who was just standing aside, whose face was originally pinched by pliers, was now shrouded in green light and gradually returned to its original fair and pink appearance.
"This is not the power of the Devil Fruit, but the magic that can heal others."
Hearing Wood's words as if he were lying to a child, Kikuchi Cheng and Ahe could not help but roll their eyes for a while.
In this country of Wano, if you say that this ability is not a devil fruit, but a ninjutsu, some people may still believe it, but if you say magic...
"Well, Xiaoyu may not understand what kind of power magic is, but you can understand that it is a special ninjutsu."
"Ninjutsu! Can Xiaoyu also learn such ninjutsu? After all, Xiaoyu's dream is to become a coquettish female ninja."
Ahe and Kiku no Cheng:(′?Д?)
Someone who knows how to coax children shouldn't be so bad...
Under Wood's healing magic, even in the pirate world view, it would have taken at least ten days and a half for Luffy and Zoro to recover from their injuries, but now they fully recovered in just a few minutes.
"Thank you very much, Wood, I was saved by you again this time."
After waking up, Luffy first expressed his gratitude to Wood, and then quickly fell into silence again.
This is very different from the previous Luffy who had an out-of-character personality. No matter how much he was abused, the previous Luffy would always yell to become stronger and beat the opponent away.
However, this time Luffy obviously lost his previous fighting spirit and fell into an extremely depressed state.
Wood couldn't understand why this was the case. After all, the Straw Hats in the past almost always progressed smoothly.
Even if you encounter a more difficult enemy, you can still successfully take revenge after regrouping and becoming stronger.
However, since the beginning of Cake Island, Luffy has encountered Big Mom, Kaido, and Momotu three bosses one after another, and each time he was brutally tortured, which led to him being beaten to autism.
In the original plot, there was a card 2 that upgraded him and gave him a sense of accomplishment. However, because of the previous Cake Island battle, he didn't even get the experience pack from card 2.
And unlike the enemies he had encountered before, whether it was Kaido, Big Mom or Momo Usagi, these people gave Luffy a huge sense of powerlessness.
No matter how strong his previous enemies were, Luffy could at least feel the difference and work hard to become stronger.
But when facing the above bosses, Luffy now feels that he has no hope of winning.
"Hey, hey, you know, I went out of my way to save you, but I wanted to find your cooperation.
If you have this kind of mentality, it’s not worth my while to go all the way to Wano to find you, and it’s not worth me forming an alliance with you.”
The originally stubborn and passionate idiot was now beaten to the point of being autistic. This was something Wood did not expect.
But Wood naturally wouldn't let Luffy continue to be so decadent, otherwise as he said, there would be no need for him to go out of his way to gain the halo of the protagonist.
"Are you looking for an alliance with us? An alliance like Terra Nan? But with your strength, Wood, even if you challenge Kaido in a one-on-one fight, your chances of winning should be pretty good, right?"
Luffy hadn't spoken yet, but Zoro, who had also recovered, couldn't help but ask curiously.
Zoro admitted that Hyakushou Kaido was very powerful, but as far as he knew, Wood was also a monster that was almost the same as him, or even stronger.
If you want to deal with Kaido, there is no need for Wood to cooperate with them. Even if he works alone, he can still win.
"I think you all know quite well that now I have become the most wanted pirate by the World Government.
For some reasons, I have to defeat Kaido and Big Mom, and I am the only one who came to Wano Country this time, so I want to cooperate with you.
Anyway, your goal is to defeat Kaido and save Wano, so you shouldn’t mind fighting a Big Mom, right?
If you agree to cooperate, I can not only restore your companions who were turned into children by Ain, but also make you stronger."
After hearing what Wood said, Zoro immediately looked at Luffy beside him. After all, although Luffy was his brother on the ship, important decisions like this were usually made by him as the captain.
"Wood, can you make us stronger?"
Luffy obviously didn't take Wood's alliance to heart at all, but what Wood said could make him stronger now, but Luffy's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Well, at least in our opinion, you still have a lot of room for improvement.
And as an ally, I naturally hope that my allies can be more reliable, so this is part of the reward, and it is also for myself, right?
How about, are you going to accept my proposal? Or reject it, Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy?"
Looking at Wood's outstretched hand, Luffy reached out and took it without even a trace of hesitation.
Not to mention that Wood promised to change Nami, Usopp and the others back to their original forms, and was also willing to give him and Zoro special training.
Even if Wood doesn't give them any conditions, just because Wood has helped them so many times, Luffy will agree to Wood without hesitation.
He was always a loyal person, and he had long regarded Wood as a friend. What's more, not only did Wood give more this time, but their goals were already the same, so what reason did he have to refuse?
