--- Chapter 338 ---
Tiny World, Logue Town.
One Day before Gold D. Roger's execution.
On the sea nearby, a whirlpool suddenly appeared and spat some people in white coats out.
"Blee-! I got seawater in my mouth." Kuina stuck out her tongue, having a very curt expression. She was still hugging Huo Yuhao, but the same applies to the other ladies.
Huo Yuhao patted Kuina with divine power before saying gently, "Kuina, you should start learning to control your Divine Energy or Immortal Qi."
"So you won't get into this inconvenience again."
Kuina pouted, "I've just ascended recently. This whole divine thing is new to me."
"I will learn how to control my new power quickly."
Huo Yuhao smiled, "I'm glad you didn't lose your spark."
He looked around and asked Evo about this timeline's introduction, which made him raise his eyebrow because they were one day away from the beginning of a new era.
The Great Era of Pirates will start tomorrow.
"I..." Huo Yuhao was about to share the information but fumbled slightly because his body felt heavy.
He shook his head helplessly, "Before I tell you about this timeline, can you guys stop hugging me?"
Huo Yuhao is suffering from success. Well, it's not like he doesn't like it.
There is a time and place for being intimate.
Unfortunately, they hugged him even more.
"Eh, but I want more Huggies~!" Raikou complained adorably.
"Agree, a hug isn't a bad thing." Huang Qiu'er nodded with all seriousness.
"Hehe, I'm just following my heart," Robin added coyly.
Kuina stared at them in disbelief, "T-This..."
Huo Yuhao wryly stared at them and said, "Okay, stop teasing Kuina. You don't have to play things like this."
After saying this, the ladies finally left Huo Yuhao's body and floated in the air.
Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and explained, "Okay, hear me out. We are currently in the right timeline, one day before Gold D. Roger is getting executed."
"I didn't sense anything weird yet."
"However, we can expect the worst tomorrow."
"Why?" Huang Qiu'er tilted her in confusion.
Robin's eyes lit up, "Don't tell me the Great Era of Pirates will trigger a change in this timeline?"
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Most likely. If an event could change and impact the Tiny World, Roger's declaration about One Piece is one of them."
Raikou pondered briefly before speaking, "We should prevent that by stopping Roger, right?"
"No, that won't do." Huo Yuhao and Robin answered simultaneously.
Robin coughed, "Yuhao-sama, let me explain this."
"Raikou-san, sometimes you can do nothing about certain events and developments. I called it the Canon Event. For Tiny World, Roger's presence as the Pirate King and his declaration about One Piece is a canon event."
"Change that, and the future will get ruined, creating another branch of the unknown timeline. In fact, when my body got stolen, this was the very thing I was afraid of."
"I see..." Raikou's thought was too simple. She forgets that her past also consists of twisted timelines and paradoxes.
She was a servant, a Heroic Spirit, in a continuous battle called the Holy Grail War.
Robin lifted her finger, "The more dangerous impact of changing the timeline is causing a butterfly effect."
"For example, My young self is living in Ohara. I have two years after the Pirate King's execution before the World Government used Buster Call to destroy my island."
"But if Roger somehow survived, the Ohara Incident might change..."
"My homeland won't get destroyed, or It will fall even worse."
"We can't gamble on it."
"Isn't it a good thing if your homeland doesn't get destroyed?" Kuina couldn't help but ask.
Robin glanced at Huo Yuhao and replied, "As much as I wanted to save my homeland, its destruction built the complex person I am now."
"It's necessary for my development. It is my canon event."
"If I hadn't gone through that, I wouldn't have met Yuhao-sama."
"If I can't meet Yuhao-sama... Well, I can't imagine my fate after Tequila Wolf."
She looked at Kuina this time and continued, "Imagine if you didn't meet Yuhao-sama. It would be unfortunate, no?"
Kuina and the others shivered because they didn't want such a scenario to happen.
Meeting Yuhao was likely the best thing that had ever happened in their lives. He didn't just change their lives but also their destinies.
So, the panicked thought of a world without Huo Yuhao makes them feel uncomfortable and miserable.
Huo Yuhao comforted them with a pat, "Calm down. That wouldn't happen."
"Our fates are connected. Mere butterfly effects won't sever it."
"If not, I wouldn't meet Qiu'er, Raikou, and Robin every time we moved into a new timeline."
"Oh, I never thought of that before." Robin smiled in realization.
"Jeez, you're giving us a heart attack." Kuina couldn't help but complain to Robin.
"Well, my bad." Robin apologized to the ladies.
Huo Yuhao gazed at the cloudy sky and sensed the Tiny World with his Divine Sense, still finding nothing wrong with it.
He sighed, "Let's find a place to stay first."
"I'm also hungry after traveling through time."
"Okay!" 4x.
The four ladies agreed immediately.
They disguised themselves and went to Logue Town. Unfortunately, many hotels are full because of the impending event tomorrow. Some visitors literally have to camp outside.
On the good side, they still found a decent restaurant on the outer part of Logue Town.
Entering the restaurant, Huo Yuhao sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere. Several gazes are 'instantly' locked on him, and some aren't very friendly.
He's currently wearing a black demonic mask, which resembles the White Ogre Mask he wore in the past, so they shouldn't be able to see his face.
Kuina and others also wore their hoods, so their facial features were hard to see, even with Observation Haki.
Huo Yuhao ignored these gazes and walked to the counter, "I want fifty meals. If you have meat or fish, throw them in, and I'd like them to be medium rare or rare."
The waiter behind the counter stared at Huo Yuhao in amazement, "Is there anything else you want?"
Huo Yuhao tapped his finger on the counter, "Do you have wine?"
The waiter smiled, "We have wine."
"Give me three bottles of red and four bottles of white."
"That would be 40,000 Belly." The waiter counted the bills.
Huo Yuhao reached for his breast pocket and created 40,000 Belly with his material creations. It was a bit unethical, but he compensated the restaurant owner for its building safety for the next three days.
He placed down the Belly, and everyone raised their brows.
"Exactly, 40k Belly." The waiter mumbled, placing the money in the safe.
"The food will be ready and delivered to your table in fifteen minutes."
Huo Yuhao nodded and went to the table that the ladies had chosen. He sat and waited while observing the Tiny World with his Divine Sense.
However, the peace didn't last long.
A man with a bear belly and yellow teeth walked to Huo Yuhao, "Hey, you're not from around here, ain'tcha?"
"You don't have the aura of those people."
"Those people?" Huo Yuhao stared at him calmly.
The man laughed, "Bahaha, it seems my guess is correct. You're just a visitor who doesn't know about the incoming storm."
"And does it even matter to me?" Huo Yuhao responded nonchalantly.
"Even if that so-called incoming storm is the end of the world, nothing can stop me."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. How arrogant." The beer-bellied man shook his head.
"People like you always die the fastest."
"Is that so? Why don't you try?" Huo Yuhao's blue eyes gleamed inside the dark mask.
The beer-bellied man felt something horrible was about to happen when he gazed at those shining blue eyes. He trembled like a wet dog.
Huo Yuhao indifferently closed his eyes, "Scram."
The beer-bellied man ran away, leaving the whole room confused.
"Your food is ready." The waiter comes with a huge tray.
Huo Yuhao nodded and ate silently, unaware of two green eyes staring at him from afar.
For a second, that is. Huo Yuhao glanced in the particular direction lazily, and his lips curled up, "Well, that's interesting."
"It seems we aren't the only Time Traveler here."
