Two years later, Zoro can effortlessly slice through the chains restraining Panz Fry before stepping in to face Vice Admiral Momonga, who had been locked in combat with Luffy.
Momonga was already sweating. His fight with Luffy hadn’t gone in his favor—sothing he never expected. Just two years ago, he had the upper hand against the Straw Hat boy, but now... Luffy’s strength was on a completely different level.
"Hey... it’s not good to get distracted, Vice Admiral!"
Zoro’s voice snapped him back to reality just as a sword slash ca his way. Momonga quickly drew his own sword and deflected the attack.
He knew this mission was slipping out of his grasp, but as a Marine, he couldn’t just retreat in disgrace. Taking a firm stance, he prepared to fight with everything he had—
—until sothing wet and sticky suddenly splattered onto his mohawk.
Feeling the strange substance on his head, Momonga instinctively wiped it with his fingers. The mont he touched it, a wave of nausea hit him.
Seabirds were common in battlefields at sea, often leaving their "marks" from above. Naturally, Momonga assud this was just another unfortunate case of bird droppings.
Across from him, Zoro noticed what had happened and sheathed Wado Ichimonji with a smirk.
"You should probably go wash that off. Looks pretty nasty."
Momonga: ...
"Ugh... blegh..."
Retching sounds echoed in the sky.
Hearing it, everyone instinctively looked up—only to see a man flying above them, dry heaving as if he had just experienced the worst turbulence of his life.
Ikki, realizing his vomit had landed on a familiar Marine, gave an awkward smile.
"Uh... Vice Admiral Momonga, my bad. My stomach’s just not feeling great..."
Ikki actually had a decent impression of Momonga, so he genuinely felt bad. But still... if anyone was to bla for this ss, it was definitely Momonosuke!
’Don’t worry, Vice Admiral! I’ll make sure to get revenge on Momonosuke for you!’ Ikki thought to himself.
Momonga: ...
He didn’t need to be told. By now, he had realized this wasn’t bird droppings—it was vomit.
Without a word, Momonga, who wasn’t a Devil Fruit user, dove straight into the sea to wash it off. If he weren’t still in the middle of a battle, his cleanliness-obsessed self would have taken a proper bath.
Still hovering above, Ikki finally noticed the Straw Hat Pirates. The Thousand Sunny, the familiar faces—it all confird what he feared.
"I really traveled two years into the future...?"
A sudden realization struck him—
"Did Ace and I disappear for two whole years?!"
Without wasting ti, Ikki flew straight to the Thousand Sunny.
His sudden landing on the deck made several Straw Hat mbers tense up.
"You guys don’t recognize , huh? So... what exactly happened?"
As Ikki tried to process the situation, a faint banging sound ca from his pocket. That’s when he rembered—he hadn’t released Ace and the others yet!
He had temporarily stored them inside a wooden box. Though it was breathable and no one risked suffocating, being cramd in a confined space for too long was far from pleasant.
Without delay, Ikki pulled out the wooden box and freed Ace and the others.
Ace appeared in front of everyone. Those who knew him were left in shock.
"You..." Usopp pointed at him, his eyes wide. "You... are you Ace?"
Ace looked at Usopp carefully, then grinned in surprise. "Huh? Usopp, your training paid off! You’ve got abs now!"
Usopp: ...
Ace then turned his attention to the rest of the crew, but soon realized sothing was off.
This wasn’t the Going rry—it was a completely different ship. And the Straw Hat Pirates looked older than he rembered.
More importantly, so familiar faces were missing.
Sabo, Vivi, and Bon Clay weren’t here... neither were the two ducks.
At the sa ti, there were also a few newcors. A skeleton... and a robot?
Realizing that sothing was wrong, Ace imdiately turned to Ikki, expecting an explanation.
Ikki simply shrugged helplessly. What could he say? This was all because of his own reckless choices.
Technically, Ikki could have returned to the original tiline. But when he saw Momonosuke, he couldn’t resist the urge to kill him—and that changed everything.
Thinking back, Ikki now realized that the two Momonosukes he had encountered back then were likely from two parallel worlds.
The one he strangled belonged to the tiline Ikki originally ca from—a world where a private Marine force existed, where Ikki was a partner of the Straw Hats and even served as their vice-captain.
anwhile, the Momonosuke who survived had likely traveled to the original tiline—the one that followed the events of the One Piece world without interference from Ikki.
From Ikki’s perspective, his attempt to strangle Momonosuke had probably disrupted the flow of fate, triggering so kind of "will of the world" to protect the tiline from completely collapsing.
As for the world Ikki originally existed in? Ever since he, a ti traveler, appeared, it had already diverged from the original story.
Now that he had pieced everything together, Ikki wasn’t panicked. If worst ca to worst, he could always just travel through ti again.
Before Ace could say anything, a sudden whooshing sound cut through the air. In an instant, a blur of motion slamd into him.
The next thing Ace knew, he was being tackled—by none other than Luffy.
"Ace... you... you’re alive... That’s great... that’s so great...!"
Luffy clung to Ace, sobbing uncontrollably.
Watching this, Ikki finally understood what it truly ant to cry into soone’s head—because Luffy was literally burying his face into Ace’s skull.
"Hey... Luffy! Calm down!"
Sanji, still skeptical about the whole situation, reached out to pull Luffy away. A dead man coming back to life? He wasn’t ready to believe it yet.
"Luffy, if you keep squeezing like this, I’m gonna suffocate!" Ace protested.
Although he didn’t fully understand the situation, one thing was clear—this was definitely Luffy. But he seed... older.
Hearing Ace’s complaint, Luffy imdiately jumped back.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Just as the brothers reunited, a third party arrived—
From the Marine warship, the NEO Marines made their entrance, led by none other than Zephyr.
Without hesitation, they launched an attack on Panz Fry, who had just regained his freedom and was about to embrace his daughter.
Several rounds of cannon fire struck the giant pirate chef. Even with his imnse size, Panz Fry was gravely injured.
"Ace! I’m gonna save the Volcanic Cuisine first—we’ll talk later!"
Though overjoyed to see Ace again, Luffy hadn’t forgotten his promise to Lili.
Without wasting another second, he charged forward, clashing directly with Shuzo.
anwhile, Zoro continued his battle against Momonga.
