Chapter 997: Many Calculations of Historical Revision

And the beginning of everything was the "Rubber Fruit" that housed Joey Boyi's consciousness.

A powerful devil fruit user's consciousness will remain after death, or in other words, it will influence the devil represented by the devil fruit.

It may even increase the upper limit of a Devil Fruit, but this is rare.

Devil fruits are products based on faith, or in other words, concrete reality.

It is not static.

Hades doesn't want some things to change, even though the situation in the sea has changed drastically from what he remembers.

Now Roger's son Ace is in the Holy Light Empire.

Will the future "Red Hair" Shanks come to Windmill Town with the destined Nika Fruit and meet Luffy?

The person that "Red Hair" Shanks was looking for at first was Ace, because he was the captain's son, that was for sure, but by chance, he met Garp's grandson.

By chance, Luffy ate the devil fruit.

Shanks avoided Garp's hometown as much as possible, and now it was impossible for him to go to the remote small country in the East China Sea.

Because Ace wasn't here.

Even if we want to find it, we will go to the South China Sea.

And Hades wants Luffy to eat the Nika Fruit.

This was something he was familiar with and would avoid unnecessary variables.

Similarly, Luffy's background means that he has great value, and one move will involve too many forces.

The Revolutionary Army, Vice Admiral Garp, the future Emperor of the Sea, and even Roger's Pirates.

What if he was the one being executed in the future Battle of Marineford? What kind of grand occasion would it be?

History needs to be corrected.

Ace is not important. What is important is the Nika Fruit, the right person, and the guide to becoming a pirate.

Hades already had an idea about this.

Just pay attention to the Nika Fruit, and "Red Hair" Shanks will go looking for the Nika Fruit.

As long as this devil fruit is brought to Windmill Town and the Red Hair Pirates are led to Windmill Town, after Ace is gone, the two people who were originally unrelated will be connected.

Hades would not care about what happened afterwards. He believed that things would develop smoothly as he expected.

As for why? Probably because he believes that history can be corrected, and he believes in the existence of fate.

Joey Boyi's will will be passed down.

The prophecy cannot be wrong.

It is certain that Joy Boyi will appear again, a being who has inherited Joy Boyi's will, or the Nika Fruit.

It just might succeed, or it might fail.

Karp's grandson, and the only suitable candidate.

Devil Fruits have their own consciousness, not to mention the Nika Fruit, a mythical beast species that has a long history of legends.

It is special. It has escaped from the hands of the World Government time and time again over the past eight hundred years and has never fallen into the hands of the World Government.

This is a magical thing.

After all, to the outside world, the Rubber Fruit is just one gram of an ordinary parahuman devil fruit. With the ability of the World Government, it is not a problem to collect it.

Even if it is the Kingdom of Chronos, you can find it if you look for it carefully and spend some time.

But now the Kingdom of Chronos doesn't need to go through so much trouble. Those ordinary devil fruits can be left to their own devices, and the very rare devil fruits can be found through the mermaid Shirley's prophecy.

Fruits like the Thunder Fruit and the Magnetic Fruit have endless potential.

Once fully developed, the top-level devil fruit with unrivaled power has fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Chronos.

So the prophecy is not without reason. The Nika Fruit carries the will of Joy Boyi, so he instinctively wants to escape from the control of the World Government and find the person who suits him best.

When the power user's strength, or influence reaches a certain level, it is not just the devil fruit that affects the user.

The ability users will also be affected by devil fruits.

Perhaps, at the beginning, the devil fruit only has very basic and ordinary abilities.

However, with the development of generations of people with special abilities, these devil fruits are constantly being updated.

Xirik has the most say on this point. His abilities have begun to evolve and transform into a more powerful existence.

The Dark Sun Cult has a huge influence in the North Sea and is developing at an unusually fast speed.

It has only been a dozen years since its establishment, and the churches now cover almost half of the entire North Sea.

Especially in the southern waters of the North Sea, there are no obstacles to development.

Without Ace and Sabo, Luffy will still be on the right path.

As long as the Nika Fruit exists, Shanks will continue to be Luffy's guide.

If all else fails, just give the Nika Fruit to Luffy.

There are many calculations involved.

The various superpowers had a deep control over the Revolutionary Army, and the birth of Dragon's son was not a news that was hidden from them.

Garp has returned to his hometown in the East China Sea, and he has a grandson.

As expected, he is the child of Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

This is already worthy of their attention.

Just like Doflamingo, the former Celestial Dragon who fell from Marijoa, people with special identities are worthy of attention even if they have not yet demonstrated any abilities.

Doflamingo's performance did not disappoint them.

In a short period of time, with the support of many parties, he became one of the dark kings of the North Sea underground world.

The business has begun to spread all over the world, and it is causing unrest in the sea with its indirect influence.

There is nothing wrong with this, and it is what the superpowers have been doing, but it has shown greater development potential.

So, the Son of Dorag also has some value, but he won’t do anything for now, so we’ll have to wait and see.

For Hades, his value lies mainly in his ability to start a war and prevent the navy from supporting the Red Earth Continent.

If the navy is too strong, you can add the Whitebeard Pirates.

This is not a difficult task.

Hades is making his plans, and Luffy is a very important chess piece. He wants to deal with the World Government within 20 years.

Once a war really breaks out, the first thing to do is to prevent the navy from intervening in the war.

In this era, the end of the Flying Pirates marked the death knell of the World Government.

The power of the Flying Pirates alone is far from enough, and they also need to bring in many forces from the New World.

The World Government has strong backup forces and it will only take some time to grow.

Hades and his men certainly knew this. In their plan, they needed to take advantage of the war between the Flying Pirates and the World Government to eliminate some of them.
