Chapter 208: Chapter 209: Restore History! Raindrops densely and closely tapped on the window lattice and eaves, producing an unceasing dripping sound. The harbor of Loguetown. A hazy human figure was faintly visible in the rain. "Smoker-senpai, so you’re here?" Tashigi panted heavily, stopping by his side. Smoker had vanished for an entire afternoon, and only now was she able to find him. This situation was happening for the first time. Tashigi asked in puzzlement, "Smoker-senpai, why didn’t you return to the Navy Headquarters?" Smoker’s eyes were fixed on the direction Jotaro had left, the cigar in his mouth long since extinguished, and he hadn’t even realized it. "I let a pirate escape." After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and corrected himself, "No, it was that he swaggered away right in front of my eyes." Tashigi was extremely surprised in her heart. Was there such a powerful pirate in the East Blue? She knew Smoker’s strength better than anyone, completely no less than that of some vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters, and even far surpassing them. After all, not only did he possess the powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, but he had also mastered Haki and the Navy’s Six Powers. "Was the opponent also a Devil Fruit user?" That pirate being able to surpass Smoker, Tashigi felt there was only this one possibility, that was, the opponent was also a Devil Fruit user, and his ability was stronger than the Smoke-Smoke Fruit’s ability. Smoker recalled the scene of fighting with Jotaro, still feeling lingering fear. If the opponent hadn’t shown mercy, he would already be dead. "That is definitely not a Devil Fruit ability." Smoker was certain, because he had tested with Seastone, yet it had not achieved the expected effect. Jotaro’s fighting power had not been affected in the slightest, in fact, because Smoker had used a broken stone against him, he even doubted Smoker’s intelligence. Humiliation. Smoker clenched his fist, "Contact Headquarters!" He had to report Jotaro’s information upward; otherwise, other marines provoking such a man would simply be going to their deaths. That ghost-like ability, even if killing someone right in front of the Navy, the Navy could not possibly have the slightest reaction. It was simply too dangerous. After issuing the order, Smoker added, "We will also prepare to head to the Grand Line immediately!" ——— Jotaro still did not know that his bounty had reached 100 million berries, and that he had already become a thorn in the side and a nail in the flesh to many pirates and bounty hunters. Even in the not-so-distant future, he would also be placed by the World Government among the most heinous criminals. At this moment, he was steadily sailing toward the Grand Line. The battle with Smoker had made him understand one thing, that Devil Fruits were extremely dangerous. Although these people did not possess Stands, the abilities they displayed were exactly the same in effect as Stand abilities. When he saw Smoker turn into smoke in an instant, Jotaro was secretly astonished. His physical attacks were completely ineffective. Even stopping time could not allow him to strike the opponent. In just an instant, Jotaro’s brain raced rapidly, thinking up dozens of methods to deal with Smoker, things like heating a kettle of water to force the liquid to evaporate, destroying his smoke form, or using strong winds to directly blow him apart. If these didn’t work, he still had more advanced methods such as static adsorption and ionization destruction. However, before he could specifically implement them, he discovered that attacks mixed with Haki could effectively limit Smoker’s smoke form. Of course, the premise was that his Haki was stronger than Smoker’s; otherwise, even if he could strike the opponent, he would be countered. This world definitely had Devil Fruits even more dangerous. Although he had not yet officially stepped into the Grand Line, Jotaro had already begun to be on guard against these enemies. "Jotaro-san, I’ve noticed you’ve recently seemed to be interested in history," Shinobu asked curiously while helping Jotaro tidy his desk. Before, Jotaro had spent a great deal of time researching the marine creatures of this world. In just the short period of time in the East Blue, he had already written dozens of papers on such topics. However, during this period, he had completely changed his usual habits, reducing the time spent researching marine creatures and putting more of his time into historical research. This time, he had also bought a large number of history books in Loguetown. Jotaro explained, "I have never brought this up before. This time, if we want to leave this world, we must restore the history of this world." Shinobu was slightly taken aback. "Restore history?" This task’s difficulty was not low at all. Jotaro nodded, "Much of this history has been tampered with by the World Government. Restoring one truth requires multi-faceted evidence, and moreover, within it there is also an empty hundred years with no record at all." "This period of history, I fear, can only be learned through the Poneglyphs scattered throughout the world." The empty hundred years and the Poneglyphs, these were all things learned from the mouth of Monkey D. Dragon. Aside from this, through his brief exchange with Monkey D. Dragon, Jotaro had also gained some understanding of this world’s economic base and superstructure. Precisely because of this, he had given the other side some constructive suggestions. Jotaro did not know that the person he had conversed with was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, yet from some details he had learned of his revolutionary fighter identity. This conversation between the two was more like a transaction. From each other, they had both obtained what they wanted. Jotaro had thought this was an equal transaction, but did not know that Dragon had written his ideas into a book, and moreover made his name appear within the World Government’s sight. This act was intentional by Dragon. For a talent like Jotaro, if he had already been in his own camp, Dragon would absolutely not have exposed his identity, and would even go to any length to protect him. However, unfortunately, Jotaro had no desire to join the Revolutionary Army. So he had no choice but to use this method to force Jotaro, as soon as possible, to the opposite side of the World Government. That way, he would have the chance to bring this talent under his banner. Writing in the name "Teacher" was also because he wanted to use the World Government’s power to quickly find this person. "Jotaro-san!" Nezuko lightly knocked on the door from outside. "Nami is looking for you." "What is it?" Jotaro asked, opening the door. "Seems to be something about the route, I don’t really understand." Nezuko pointed upward. "She’s waiting for you in the helm room." Jotaro thanked her, then went up the stairs to the upper floor. Shinobu walked out of the room, pulling Nezuko’s hand with a smile, "Let’s go cook." Nezuko obediently nodded, following behind Shinobu, her face red. She recalled the events of that night, her mind wandering. ’Could it be that Sister Shinobu and Jotaro-san were again in the room...’ She was a pure and simple girl, previously not knowing anything about those shameful things, but in the Tokyo Ghoul world, the social atmosphere was obviously much more open. Under such influence, she had also come to understand many things. Nezuko felt as if her head was about to burn. It was simply too embarrassing. ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
