--- Chapter 363 ---
A black portal appeared above an island, spewing some people off.
Unlike the previous time jumps, no one crashed and got their mouth filled with water or sand.
"Phew, we are finally here," said Kuina, who landed on her feet perfectly.
The swordswoman has a satisfied look on her face.
Rossweisse looked around and clenched her hand gently, "So, this is how time travel felt. The river of space and time is actually not as threatening as I thought."
"No, this is probably because of Yuhao-sama's interference."
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly at Rossweisse's conjecture. Even though he can time-travel and bring others with him because he has ample mastery in space-time laws, the one getting them to this timeline is Evo.
After all, Evo's space-time precision is better than Huo Yuhao's.
At least, the current Huo Yuhao wouldn't dare to bring anyone other than himself when time-traveling.
Rossweisse breathed in and added, "I get a gist of how to improve my Concept of Magic."
"Good for you." Huo Yuhao responded with a nod.
"What about others? Do you feel weird when landing on this timeline?"
Huang Qiu'er shook her head gently, "Negative, Master."
"Me too." Robin leaned on a tree, feeling the sea breeze on her skin.
"Me three!" Raikou raised her hand playfully.
Seeing their healthy look, Huo Yuhao glanced at the last lady and saw her closing her eyes.
"Toki?" He called her out.
"Ah, yeah!" Toki snapped from her daze.
"I'm fine, Yuhao-sama."
"Though my Martial Soul is gaining time essence from this time travel. I need to adjust my perception slightly."
"Is that so?" Huo Yuhao knew Toki's Martial Soul was unique. So, this time travel stuff is beneficial for her growth. He guessed Toki's cultivation base wouldn't increase from time travel. The Worldfall Monolith Time Clock could get more powerful, though.
Of course, a time-attributed Martial Soul could grow stronger only in this particular situation. Maybe Huo Yuhao should build different kinds of dungeons to support Martial Soul's growth.
With Advalon's ability to keep evolving, it shouldn't be too hard for Huo Yuhao to divide some areas and turn them into attribute-specific training grounds.
Huo Yuhao had this idea for a long time but was too lazy to make it happen because Advalon was already as good as it was.
Rossweisse seemed to see through Huo Yuhao's thought and added calmly, "Yuhao-sama, while making different places for different Spirit Masters is a good consideration, you shouldn't forget about comprehension."
"Not everyone could comprehend concepts and improve their cultivation base simultaneously."
"Even if we used Devil Fruits, the amount is limited..."
"You're not wrong." Huo Yuhao took Rossweisse's words seriously. But he also has his own trump cards, Tiny World's seeds, and other universes he had conquered.
Who said he couldn't grow his own Devil Fruits?
Yes, it was difficult, but not impossible.
Well, Huo Yuhao wouldn't do it for now.
'Evo, where are we?'
[You're currently on the Fifth Timeline: Sabaody Archipelago Arc!]
"Oh?" Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrow. His lips curled into a small smile.
"What's the matter, Yuhao-sama?" Robin felt Huo Yuhao's gaze toward her was a little playful.
Huo Yuhao raised his finger and pointed randomly at the sea, "Spread your divine sense in that direction."
"You will find your answer."
Robin looked in that 'particular' direction and gradually became dazed momentarily because she recognized that place.
A lone stone pillar that pierced the white clouds stood, surrounded by a lush forest. The forest has countless trees, thicker and taller than a small mountain.
Even though the surrounding area looked like they were in eternal winter, it gave off a sunny and warm look. This place is untouched by the outside world, having the essence of true serenity.
"Ara, that place is Tequila Wolf?" Raikou also recognized the place as she helped Huo Yuhao rescue Robin back then.
Robin's eyes widened, and she smiled in excitement, "Yes, it's Tequila Wolf."
"No, it has a different name now."
"It's called Pillar City... Hidden in the Lush Forest, Elwood."
"Elwood." Kuina's eyes lit up as her divine sense reached Elwood. "Such a big and amazing city."
"I wonder who made it."
"Pfft." Robin and Raikou couldn't help but chuckle.
"Why did you two laugh? Did I say something funny?" Kuina tilted her head in confusion. She believed they were teasing her.
Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "I was the one who made Elwood."
"What?!" Kuina and the other ladies were shocked.
Huo Yuhao coughed awkwardly, "At the time, I was saving Robin from the Marine's attack. I got a little excited and declared war against every hostile faction."
"I built this city out of impulse. Don't just look at the appearance. I have added several Primordial Runes to protect, so those with ill intentions and dark nature would never get in."
"Wow!" Rossweisse clapped her hand in amazement. She has never heard about such runes before.
Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly, "It was two years ago. Elwood has become a trading place for honest people. Even those who didn't like to get oppressed have banded together and lived in the city."
"It has another name besides the one Robin said. People called Elwood the City of Peace."
"Not even Celestial Dragons and Imu could dream of getting in."
"So, Master, you're accidentally sowing good karma by protecting people in this world." Huang Qiu'er said with a complicated look.
"Yeah." Huo Yuhao could only laugh at this situation.
"Anyway, should we visit Elwood or Sabaody Archipelago first?" Huo Yuhao asked Robin. "Or should we split up?"
Robin pondered briefly before saying, "I think we should split up, Yuhao-sama. It's been two years, so my crew should have been waiting for me."
"Those who don't want to follow me can go to Elwood."
"Okay, that would do." Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding.
"Who wants to go with Robin?"
"Me!" Raikou and Kuina raised their hands.
"You want to meet Zoro, aren't you?" Huo Yuhao gave Kuina a knowing look.
Kuina smiled and waved her sheathed katana, "I just want to see how much he improved."
"Don't bully him, okay? Qiu'er has been beating him to a pulp back then."
'Hmm, me?' Surprisingly enough, Huang Qiu'er didn't remember much about Zoro because he wasn't memorable to her. She casually bullied Zoro and tossed him aside for disturbing her time with Huo Yuhao.
Heck! Huang Qiu'er couldn't even remember Zoro's face.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's worry, Kuina stuck out her tongue and replied wickedly, "Hehe, don't worry. Zoro and I are friends, so I know when to hold back."
Huo Yuhao glanced at the other ladies, "So, Rossweisse, Qiu'er, and Toki will follow me to Elwood."
"Mm." Rossweisse and others nodded.
Raikou narrowed her eyes, "You don't come with us to the Sabaody Archipelago, Honey?"
Huo Yuhao replied calmly, "I will find you at the Sabaody Archipelago later. Right now, I'd like to see Elwood's progress first."
"Well, that's good enough." Robin didn't find Huo Yuhao's decision weird because Elwood might hold some surprising stuff. "Then, we are going, Yuhao-sama."
After saying that, Robin suddenly kissed Huo Yuhao's cheeks and winked at the ladies. Then, she flew to the horizon.
"Ah, that's unfair!" Raikou and Kuina shouted at the shameless flower lady, who had run away with a flushed face.
Raikou and Kuina took their sweet chances, kissing Huo Yuhao's cheeks on each side. After that, they chased after Robin.
[Title: Lucky Bastard is Activated]
'Hey, I'm lucky, but no bastard.' Huo Yuhao couldn't help but complain at the Title Notification. Even then, his heart felt warm due to the three ladies.
Of course, their acts caused Huang Qiu'er, Rossweisse, and Toki to frown slightly.
Not wanting to ruin their moods, Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said, "We can have a date at the Elwood. Don't mind them."
Hearing Huo Yuhao mention the promised date now, the ladies' eyes lit up like fireworks.
"Yes~!" They excitedly said.
