Stussy said, "I almost forgot about Ain's original Devil Fruit power! Time magic and the Return-Return Fruit really are two abilities that pair perfectly together."
Gion said, "If those two abilities are combined, Ain's threat level will rise by a lot all at once."
Doll said, "If someone doesn't know about Ain's ability, they might very well get hit by time magic and the Return-Return Fruit one after another the moment they encounter her. Then a grown adult would turn into a child."
Kalifa said, "Even someone incredibly powerful would become weaker if they were made too young, right?"
Smoothie said, "Unless Ain used the Return-Return Fruit's power on an elderly person, in which case it might actually restore the opponent to a better state. But if she really faced someone like that, Ain could simply choose not to use the Return-Return Fruit."
Whitey Bay said, "This is the first time I've realized that a template Arton gives someone can match the recipient's original ability so well. Ain may have waited for a very long time, but the result she finally obtained is still excellent."
Hina said, "Ain must be extremely happy about being able to obtain Ultear Milkovich's template."
…
"Well then, you should be happy now, shouldn't you, my dear Miss Ain?"
Arton placed a hand on Ain's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Mm!"
Ain nodded firmly.
Of course she was happy to obtain a template that was so highly compatible with her Devil Fruit ability.
If the situation here weren't a little inappropriate, she would have immediately expressed her gratitude to Arton properly.
"Although it isn't convenient right now, I'll definitely have to thank Captain properly later."
"Speaking of which, if I can use one hundred percent of Ultear Milkovich's template, does that mean I'll gain some of Ultear Milkovich's style too?"
"If I turn into that kind of appearance, I should be able to bring Captain even more freshness, right?"
Just thinking of that possibility made Ain unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.
As long as she could make Arton pay a little more attention to her, then the chances of Arton using his diary to record her daily behavior would become even higher.
In that case, after she integrated Ultear Milkovich's template, she would also have more points to use for practicing Ultear Milkovich's abilities, right?
But very soon, Ain's brows furrowed slightly.
To turn into Ultear Milkovich's appearance, she would still need to be able to use one hundred percent of the template's power.
Ain looked at Ultear Milkovich's current appearance in front of her, unsure when she would be able to reach the point where she could activate the template at one hundred percent.
After all, even Nami and Carina, veteran crew members who had joined the pirate crew long ago, had taken a very long time before reaching the standard needed to activate their templates at one hundred percent.
Although intense stimulation could also quickly push someone into a state where they could activate one hundred percent of a template, Ain wasn't sure whether she could really happen to meet that kind of standard.
Arton had no idea what Ain was thinking right now. He raised his hand, placed it on her shoulder, and said, "The introduction to Ultear Milkovich still isn't over."
"Although Ultear's time magic generally has no effect on the human body…"
"If the target is in certain special states, it can still have some effect."
Chapter 685: Time Magic Unleashed at Full Power Is Terrifying
"Miss Ultear Milkovich's time magic can produce special effects under special circumstances?"
When Ain heard Arton's words, a curious look immediately appeared on her face.
Her big eyes fixed on Ultear Milkovich not far away. Then she noticed that both Gray, who was facing Ultear Milkovich, and the place where they stood had vanished.
In their place was a vast plaza.
Within the plaza, countless wizards were casting magic, and the opponents their magic was aimed at… were actually a group of dragons!
…
Smoothie said, "What's going on? Why are there so many dragons?"
Yamato said, "These dragons… could they have eaten Dragon-related Devil Fruits, just like that old bastard Kaido?"
Stussy said, "So strong! Even though I can't personally feel the power of those dragons at the scene, they definitely aren't weak."
Kalifa said, "What incredible pressure. Are Ultear Milkovich and those humans fighting these dragons?"
…
"Captain, what happened around Ultear Milkovich?"
After observing Ultear Milkovich and her surroundings for a while, Ain asked Arton in confusion.
"As you can see, Ultear Milkovich has been swept into a war. And not just any war—it's a war between humans and dragons."
Looking at the scene before him, Arton couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Although the scene in front of them was only an illusion, that extreme environment was being reflected right in front of them in a very real way.
Watching human wizards fall one after another didn't feel good for Arton either.
After all, many of the wizards in this scene were people he knew.
Even if those people were merely characters from another anime, the scene before his eyes wasn't an anime.
It was a real battle between humans and dragons.
When those wizards fell, they bled and shed tears. That kind of scene brought an enormous visual impact.
Since Arton felt that way, there was no need to even mention Ain, Nami, Raki, and the others.
"What exactly happened? Why did a war like this break out?"
"Can Ultear Milkovich and the others win? Those dragons all look so strong."
Ain gulped and asked worriedly.
She even felt that, even if these dragons fought against a Marine admiral, they still wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
"If you're really interested in why this battle happened, you can come ask me later. I'll slowly tell you about this war." Arton spoke. "But for now, let's focus on the time magic Ultear Milkovich is about to use."
Ain nodded and looked up toward Ultear Milkovich.
Ultear Milkovich walked through the streets with a pained expression on her face. The people she knew fell one after another, and their voices disappeared one by one from her mind.
Ain could clearly feel Ultear Milkovich's suffering. She didn't want the human wizards to die one by one like this either.
Suddenly, Ultear Milkovich seemed to be stimulated by something. She unleashed time magic at full power.
At that instant, the entire world seemed to be enveloped by the radiance of Ultear Milkovich's time magic.
