One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 216: Forging a Contract Across Time and Space!

Chen Ye's words seemed casual and nonchalant.

But it stirred up a huge storm in the hearts of Rocks and Roger.

That's not all?

The ability to travel through time and space is not all there is to it?

What else can he do?

They are men who stand at the pinnacle of this era.

I believe I have witnessed all the wonders and madness on the high seas.

But this young man in front of them, time and time again, trampled their proud understanding underfoot.

Crush.

Lox's body suddenly leaned forward.

The enormous shadow instantly engulfed Chen Ye.

The air around us seemed to grow heavier.

He stared intently at Chen Ye, the ambition in his eyes almost tangible, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"Oh?"

His voice was low and deep, squeezed out from the depths of his throat.

"Then what else can you do?"

He needs to know the answer.

You must know this.

Roger, standing nearby, reacted in a completely different way.

He didn't have the aggressive aura of Lockes, but his incredibly bright eyes burned with a flame called "adventure".

That was when adventurers discovered a new continent.

That was the explorer glimpsing the unknown.

Roger's breathing was a little rapid. He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and looked impatient.

"Tell me, bro! Stop keeping me in suspense! What other fun things are there?"

One is domineering.

A pure one.

Two pressures came from both sides at the same time.

This pressure is enough to make anyone in the world go weak in the knees.

Chen Ye remained calm.

He leaned back, creating some distance between himself and Lox, and then!

He smiled.

He paused deliberately, watching the two of them subconsciously hold their breath, whetting their appetites to the extreme.

"I can not only travel by myself."

His voice was steady, yet seductive.

"I can also summon you to my time and space."

"Go fight for me!"

The words fell.

The secret room fell silent once more.

The oppressive aura emanating from Lox disappeared.

Roger's excited smile froze.

call?

To his time and space?

Fighting side by side?

The impact of these words combined is far more shocking than "I come from the future".

Chen Ye didn't give them much time to process it.

He emphasized his words, each one like a branding iron, searing into their very souls.

"That is, the future!"

He paused, glanced at their already stunned faces, and added the last, and most crucial, condition.

"However, your consent is required."

A silence lasted for about ten seconds.

The crackling sound of the burning torches became the only sound in this space.

"puff……"

A soft sound.

It's Roger.

He first lowered his head, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, an uncontrollable burst of wild laughter exploded from his chest!

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Roger laughed so hard he almost cried.

He suddenly looked up, his face filled with extreme excitement and fervor, his eyes shining frighteningly.

"Travel to the future to fight?!"

He almost jumped up and slammed his fist into the treasure chest next to him, making the gold coins rattle loudly.

"That would be so much fun!"

It was purely an adventurer's instinct; he was the first to make the decision.

"Count me in! I agree!"

That "I agree" was shouted with absolute certainty.

It is filled with longing for an unknown journey.

Roger's reaction also ignited Rocks's anger.

The maritime tycoon recovered from his shock, his face also showing extreme interest.

His signature maniacal laughter followed, even more domineering and arrogant than Roger's.

"Thief! Hahahaha!"

Rocks leaned back in his chair, and the entire secret room vibrated with his laughter.

"Shall we go see the future?"

He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with a dangerous yet excited light.

"That's actually quite interesting!"

He wanted to see if the future world would be under his, Rocks', feet.

He also wanted to see who was stronger and weaker between the future powerhouse and him, Rocks.

He couldn't resist this temptation.

"I agree too!"

Two of the most outstanding men of their eras made a decision that could influence the future in just one minute.

There was no fear of the unknown in their eyes.

Only the yearning for a wider world.

Upon receiving affirmative answers from both of them, Chen Ye's smile deepened.

He no longer hesitated.

It invoked supreme authority that did not belong to this world.

"System, in my name, I hereby enter into a time-space contract with Rocks D. Giebeck and Gol D. Roger."

From Rocks and Roger's perspective, Chen Ye simply raised his right hand calmly.

The movements were very casual.

He opened his palms toward them.

But in Chenye's view, the palm of his hand presented a different scene.

There was only a spinning vortex formed by countless golden data streams.

At the center of the vortex, the laws of spacetime are distorted, analyzed, and reconstructed into two incredibly complex runes.

Each rune is profound and vast.

next second.

"Buzz".

Two runes shot out from Chen Ye's palm.

Silently.

But it tore apart everything in sight.

That speed surpassed light, surpassed thought.

Rocks and Roger didn't even have time to blink.

Two golden runes then precisely and instantly entered their brows.

"Hmm!"

The two of them groaned almost simultaneously.

A surge of heat exploded from between his eyebrows.

It burned all over my body in an instant.

In the deepest part of my soul, an invisible mark has been burned on me.

But this scalding heat came quickly and went away even faster.

It all happened in less than a second.

The feeling of having one's soul burned away vanished without a trace.

It was all just an illusion.

"What is it?"

Rocks instinctively reached out his rough fingers and vigorously touched his forehead.

Smooth and cold.

There was nothing there.

"Um?"

Roger did the same thing; he even leaned close to the torch to try and get a better look.

The result was the same.

Their faces were filled with surprise and confusion.

They were absolutely certain that what they had just witnessed was not a hallucination.

But that power, that mark, vanished into thin air, and could no longer be detected.

It has become completely integrated into their lives.

After doing all this, Chen Ye put his hand down.

【Ding! 】

[Contract partners detected: Rocks D. Giebeck, Gol D. Roger.]

The time-space imprint has been successfully created.

[Contractor privileges have been activated. The host can consume energy at any time to summon the contracted entity to the current timeline.]

The cold, robotic system notification sound rang clearly in Zai Chenye's mind.

It became.

He pondered for a moment.

The atmosphere in the secret room, because of the magical scene just now, became relaxed and lively again.

Roger was still curiously touching his forehead, while Lockes was looking at Chen Ye with great interest, wanting to see him through inside and out.

however.

Just then.

Chen Ye raised his head.

The relaxed and carefree expression on his face, and the playful look at the corner of his mouth, vanished completely in an instant.

Instead, there was an unprecedented seriousness.

A solemnity that can freeze the air.

His gaze bypassed the curious Roger and was fixed intently on Rocks.

Those eyes were unfathomable.

This sudden change instantly cooled the previously excited atmosphere.

The smile on Lockes' face froze.

Roger also stopped what he was doing.

The two were extremely sensitive to changes in the atmosphere.

Not right.

A strong sense of unease welled up from the bottom of my heart without warning.

Next came Chen Ye's voice.

Undeniable.

With a resolute air.

He spoke it out, word by word.

"Locus".

"Come with me."

"To the future."
