Chapter 226: Spacetime Marking Error?
"System! What the hell is going on?"
"Did you misjudge the time and space location?"
Where the hell did you post this to?!
Where is this place?
Why isn't he with Whitebeard or Marco?
You need to give me a reasonable explanation!
Chen Ye had just returned from a time travel spanning thirty-eight years, but instead of cheers from the crowd, he was met with a bucket of boiling lava.
He should have been enjoying the laughter and joy of the Whitebeard Pirates.
But the scene before him plunged him into a living hell.
The system's voice remained as flat as ever, a mechanical tone devoid of any emotion.
[Host, please rest assured, there is no error in the spacetime location.]
[Based on the spacetime markers you previously left, the final location has been determined. The targets, Edward Newgate and Marco, are currently located on the island beneath your feet.]
The system's response shocked Chen Ye.
"What?"
He was completely shocked when those two words left his mouth.
My brain just shut down.
He couldn't process this seemingly ordinary yet utterly absurd message.
Whitebeard and Marco...
On this island where the volcano is erupting?
"What are they doing here?"
Chen Ye's voice was somewhat dry, filled with unresolved frustration.
The Whitebeard Pirates.
That colossal creature that stands at the top of the ocean, whose mere stomp can shake the Grand Line.
Why would they appear on an island that is about to be destroyed by lava?
Judging from the scale of this natural disaster, it definitely didn't just happen.
Are they risking their lives against a volcano?
Suddenly! A strong sense of foreboding washed over me like ice water, chilling me to the bone.
Chen Ye's expression suddenly changed.
He was too lazy to say anything more.
The next second, the figure exploded on the spot.
"Bang!"
The air beneath their feet emitted a muffled thud, and an invisible force pressed a shallow crater into the ground.
Chen Ye shot into the sky like a cannonball, tearing through the hot wind mixed with sulfur and ash.
He stopped several hundred meters in the air.
This height was just right, allowing him to avoid the sweltering heat from the ground and clearly see the outline of the entire island.
There was no pause.
The Observation Haki swept out in an overwhelming manner, instantly forming an invisible net that covered the chaotic island below.
Once the view opened up, the apocalyptic scene on the island became even more glaring.
The sky was a dark red.
The massive volcano resembled a bleeding giant, continuously spewing lava into the sky.
Thick smoke formed a huge canopy, obscuring the sun and bathing the whole world in a oppressive, dim yellow light.
At the foot of that violently erupting volcano lies a sizable town and port.
Countless ant-like figures frantically ran through the ruins.
The cries and screams could reach Chen Ye's ears even from hundreds of meters away.
However, amidst the chaotic fleeing crowd, powerful and familiar auras were detected in Chen Ye's senses.
His gaze was instantly drawn to it.
Among the fleeing crowd, those familiar figures to Chen Ye were desperately trying to maintain the last vestiges of order.
They are evacuating these ordinary citizens!
Chen Ye's pupils suddenly contracted.
He recognized him!
They... are the members of the Whitebeard Pirates!
They were his good brothers whom he hadn't seen for a long time!
He saw "Float" Bista.
This usually elegant world-class swordsman was now covered in volcanic ash and looked rather disheveled.
The two famous swords in his hands, "Rose," were no longer pointed at the enemy, but instead transformed into two dazzling sword lights.
The sword light wove a tight, impenetrable net.
Huge chunks of volcanic rock, capable of crushing houses into shreds, fell from the sky and were sliced into countless pieces by his sword, scattering across the ground with a crackling sound.
Chenye shifted his gaze and saw the mobile fortress again, "Diamond" Jozu.
His iconic, massive body was firmly blocking a stream of lava rushing toward the edge of the town.
The crimson magma angrily pounded against his diamond-like arm, making strange hissing sounds and steaming up large plumes of white mist.
Joz gritted his teeth, his feet sinking into the ground, and with his proudest defense, he withstood a volcanic eruption, creating a path to survival for the hundreds of civilians behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a streak of blue flame pierced the dim sky.
It's Marco!
He transformed into a completely new phoenix form, swiftly traversing the chaotic battlefield.
The speed was extremely fast.
With each dive, it can precisely grab an islander trapped in a sea of fire or ruins with its claws, then quickly pull them up and send them to a relatively safe port.
That reborn golden flame became a ray of hope in this land of despair.
Chen Ye's gaze followed the direction Marco flew, finally landing at the very front of the port.
There, a mountain-like figure stood alone, facing the largest torrent of lava rushing down from the mountain, about to engulf the entire harbor.
He was carrying a huge naginata and was shirtless.
The Whitebeard Pirates logo, representing an era, stood out starkly against the backdrop of flames and volcanic ash.
It was Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!
He did not retreat an inch in the face of the scorching heat that threatened to destroy everything.
He planted the naginata in the ground beside him and raised his right fist.
"Buzz—!"
A white halo appeared on his fist.
Then, he casually unleashed a seemingly ordinary attack at the surging lava in front of him!
There was no earth-shattering noise.
There was only one muffled cracking sound.
The air in front of him shattered.
Huge, visible cracks spread through the atmosphere like a spider web.
This pure shockwave crossed space and slammed into the lava flow.
next moment!
The unstoppable torrent of lava seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, its front end abruptly halted, then it was violently shattered into pieces by the terrifying shockwave.
The crimson waves surged upstream, colliding with the lava flowing behind them, temporarily halting their advance.
Such is the power of a single punch!
Not a single member of the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew, from the captain to the commander, retreated.
They were all fighting against this devastating natural disaster to protect the civilians on the island.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ye's misplaced irritation vanished.
A sense of security washed over me.
The feeling of coming home.
very nice.
Although the way the return happened was a little unexpected, the result seems to be not bad.
He arrived just in time when he was needed most.
However, after feeling relieved, new problems arose.
As Chen Ye observed more closely, his brows furrowed once more.
He looked down at the outline of the islands, especially the unique mountain that resembled the Sphinx, and a familiar name surfaced from the depths of his memory.
He recognized the island; it was the new territory the Whitebeard Pirates had taken over after the Marineford War. No wonder the Whitebeard Pirates had come to their rescue.
The problem is that it was written very clearly in his memory, including in the most detailed naval archives.
The volcano on this island is a dormant volcano that has been dormant for over eight hundred years!
A volcano that has been dead for eight hundred years.
Why did it suddenly erupt?
Moreover, the eruption was so fierce, it was as if fire that had been accumulating for eight centuries was about to wipe the entire island off the sea in one go.
This is definitely not normal.
"A natural disaster?"
"No."
Chen Ye hovered in the air, his voice very soft.
"This is a man-made disaster."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
