One Piece: Who still has dreams?

Kureha has a vial of the original green potion she makes, kept in her refrigerator. The initial 30 vials given to Bonnie were replicated by Redio at a cost of about 1000 essences, just enough for Bonnie's monthly consumption.

Redio now has a much better supply of essence, but at Kureha's suggestion, he only made 90 copies of the potion and went to the South Sea to deliver them to Bonnie.

[Remaining Essence: 257030]

It was already early morning in the South China Sea. Bonnie was full of energy and had already gotten up. She was looking out the window, eagerly anticipating going out for a spring outing. When she saw Redio coming over, she excitedly rushed over and gave him a bear hug.

Redio played with Bonnie for a while, left 90 vials of the potion, and then returned to the Isle of Women.

……

[Day 10]

Women's Island, the jungle outside the city, the trial grounds.

"Who are you, Mother-in-law?"

Redio stared at the woman in front of him, who had long pink hair, a slender figure, and although she had shrunk to only 1.4 meters tall, she had a beautiful face and a rosy complexion...

He was a little incredulous. "Was that old woman with a face full of wrinkles yesterday you?"

Grandma nodded and said, "It was me. I wasn't in a good mood at the time."

Oh, so you were just in a bad mood. I thought you were just in a bad mood.

Ace, covered in bruises and with several bumps on his head, sat down and exclaimed, "She really did say what you said yesterday, and look what happened today. The ocean is truly unbelievable!"

"So all the women of Kuja are enchantresses, aren't they?" Redio thought to himself.

“My name is Gloriosa,” the miniature version of the former Boa Hancock smiled slightly at Redio, “This is my godson, Gol D’Ace.”

"I never admitted that!" Ace Fangs roared. "And don't you dare call me that!"

Sandasonia and Marigold exchanged glances, and finally asked, "Redio, where's my sister?"

"She helped me find someone, and they'll be here soon."

As Reddio spoke, he beckoned to Ace and grabbed his shoulder, saying, "Let me see how your training has gone these past ten days. Don't move, I have special pulse-taking techniques."

"Does taking a pulse involve pressing on the shoulder?" Ace asked, speechless.

30 seconds later, a system notification appeared in Redio's eyes.

【Name: Portgas D. Ace】

Overall Strength: ★★★

[Mastered: Conqueror's Haki (Beginner), Armament Haki (Initial Understanding), Observation Haki (Initial Understanding)...]

Have I officially mastered Conqueror's Haki?

Armament Haki and Observation Haki are only at a beginner level, but that's okay, they're enough. These two are different from Conqueror's Haki. Since I've already grasped the basics, as long as I'm willing to continue training, I'll naturally master them smoothly. There's no need to be bound to stay in Kuja.

Not long after, Hancock arrived with a Kuja female warrior who was dressed in a revealing outfit. It was none other than Rindou, the female pirate who had blasted Redio with a short cannon.

Redio asked Gentian, "Fourteen years ago, were you sure you were on this Isle of Women?"

"..." Rindan didn't understand why he asked this, but since Lady Snake had given the order, he could only answer, "14 years ago, I was only 14 years old and didn't have the strength to join the Kuja Pirates, so I was on this island."

"Alright. Here you go."

Redio took out a coin and flicked it to Gentian.

You have hired Gentian for approximately 1 hour.

Gentian caught the 100 Berries, somewhat confused, but then Redio pressed down on her shoulder, saying to the others, "I'll be right back," before the scene before her eyes abruptly changed.

……

Ace was already used to Redio disappearing into thin air like this.

Sandasonia and Mariegrad knew he had this ability, and they didn't think much of it.

Only Hancock... she guessed what was going on, her eyes showing shock. But before she could even pause for a few seconds, Gentian and Redio appeared out of thin air one after the other and returned.

"?"

Longdan, with a cigarette dangling from her lips and a question mark in her eyes, didn't really understand what had happened.

She seemed to be in a hallucination, returning to her childhood, but soon the man who was the Snake Princess appeared out of thin air in front of her, accompanied by the three Snake Princess sisters from her childhood...

Then the hallucination disappeared. What exactly happened?

"..."

As for Redio... he had a full head of white hair and was still in Gojo Satoru mode, standing in place, his azure eyes gazing into the distance, somewhat lost in thought.

“Reddio…” Hancock took his hand and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

"I am fine."

Redio patted the back of her hand, gazing at the green energy surrounding Hancock. The azure light in her eyes quickly faded, and her white hair returned to black. He comforted her, "It's just that my abilities surprised even myself, haha."

-----------------

[Back to a moment ago]

[14 years ago, slave ships]

Redio appeared out of nowhere, and after discovering that he was the only one on the ship, he opened the system interface, glanced at it, and smiled, realizing that his guess was indeed correct.

Since Hancock and the others were brought in in a form similar to being integrated into the past, what if we brought in someone who wasn't even on this ship at the present point in time?

If I'm not mistaken, the gentian I brought in has already merged into her 14-year-old self, who is far away in the Nine Serpents City on Women's Island...

Redio no longer hesitated, activating today's Five Wise Strategies Mode, breaking free of the ship's cage, and casually tearing off the chains binding the panicked Boa sisters.

Although it seemed unnecessary to go up to the deck and kill Somaz again, Redio still led the three sisters through the cabin and flew up, casually pointing at Somaz who turned around after hearing the commotion.

"Ah..." Somaz exclaimed as he was pulled into the sea by a powerful force, and then fell silent with a "plop".

"..." The three Hancock sisters stared blankly at him from his arms.

Redio hovered in the air and opened the system's personal interface.

[Hireed: Nami (approx. 8 days remaining), Portgas D. Ace (approx. 1 day remaining), Gentian (approx. 58 minutes remaining)]

Nami's and Ace's options are both grayed out, only Gentian's name is highlighted.

Redio selected her and then teleported.

Anyone hired by the system will also be granted teleportation access if they meet the "extremely long" distance requirement. Across such a vast ocean, and with a chasm created by a calm sea, it's definitely "extremely long."

The next moment, he brought the three Boa sisters, who were staring blankly at each other, into the Nine Serpents City.

Upon seeing them suddenly appear, 14-year-old Rindan, who was chewing on a toothpick, was startled and quickly asked Redio, "What did you do to me? Is this some kind of hallucination?"

[Task Completed]

[Mission Rewards: 165900 Essence; Artificial Su Nuo Finger x1; God Mode Trial Ticket x1]

[Remaining Essence: 422930]

[Returning...]

Get it!

Reddio was in a good mood. After seeing the system notification, he curiously opened the mission rewards section and couldn't help but examine it immediately...

Ok?

He was looking at the description of the new prop when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with his surroundings!

At this moment, he found himself floating in a vast, empty void, with nothing in sight. All he could see was a long, endless "river" stretching from left to right, radiating dazzling white light...

Chapter 67 The Truth About Time and Space

[Chapter Introduction Series: Executive Vice President Miss Quan, Sunday, Episode 17: "Surrounded"]

[Robin escaped with her mother and the young revolutionaries, leaving behind a trail of pursuers knocked down by the Flower-Flower Fruit, but then a large group of Marines surrounded them.]

*******************************************************

"..."

In this vast emptiness, Redio, with his white hair, floated silently, gazing at the only thing in his sight: the seemingly endless river of white light.

[Remaining time for Gojo Satoru Mode: 4 seconds]

He stared quietly at the system notification. Several more minutes seemed to have passed, but the countdown remained unchanged.

Is it because this strange place has no concept of the passage of time?

He muttered to himself silently.

Is it because of techniques with no limits?

Redio glanced at the magical energy surrounding him.

When he transformed into Gojo Satoru, he almost instinctively followed Gojo Satoru's experience, maintaining a limitless protective shield at all times... When the system sent me back, I happened to be using the limitless shield, so this is...

Is there a bug?

Redio flew through the void toward the "river" of white light "ahead".

Most of the river was hazy and indistinct, with no details visible. As Redio drifted along the river, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a clear "scene."
