Chapter 234 Red-haired Shanks's Question
"Welcome, Mr. Shanks."

The spacious and bright game house is very quiet, and the incense burner is burning with incense that can calm people's minds.

It seemed as if this was another world, and had nothing to do with the fighting and battles in the East China Sea.

Shanks stared blankly at the exquisitely shaped incense burner.
"A kind of incense that assists in the cultivation of inner strength, 200 reward points."

A gentle voice from behind the counter interrupted his wandering thoughts.

"Hello, respected Mr. Fang Yi."

Although Shanks looks nonchalant, he is actually very clear-headed. He knows that attitudes vary in different situations, and he understands every decision he makes.

So, even though he knew that it was the game merchants who disturbed the sea and changed fate, he still maintained his respect.

Fang Yi smiled politely and said straight to the point: "You're welcome. Players who come to the game house can choose the products they are interested in. What kind of products do you want?"

"Honestly, I don't know."

Shanks smiled, but it was a bitter smile.

He had a feeling that he couldn't hide his thoughts from the mysterious game dealer, so he just gave up.

Fang Yi asked knowingly: "The only Four Emperors who were evaluated by the Navy Headquarters as the most harmless and can be left alone, isn't freedom what he desires most?"

"Freedom... is such a luxury."

Shanks looked melancholy, as if he was recalling the time when he traveled with Captain Roger.

As far as I can remember, that period was probably the freest one, right?

Unfortunately, they will still be hunted by the navy and hated by the world government. They will see countless kingdoms being oppressed, civilians starving to death, and people being captured as slaves because they cannot pay the heavenly gold...

The whole world is not free, how can One Piece be free?

Therefore,
Shanks gave up on landing at Raftel, the destination that all pirates dream of.

Inheriting Captain Roger's last wish, willingly becoming a successor, waiting for the person who can free the world to appear.

After a moment of silence, Shanks asked, "I want this sea to return to the way it was before the reincarnation game appeared. Is that okay?"

If other players hear it,
Especially those players whose fate has been changed and their wishes fulfilled by the reincarnation game will definitely be shocked and angry.

But Fang Yi, who knew Shanks' inner thoughts, was not surprised at all.

"Back to square one?"

Fang Yi looked at Shanks and nodded, "Of course this wish can also be fulfilled, but you don't have the reward points for fulfilling the wish."

A diamond-shaped transparent crystal appeared on the counter.

[Philosopher's Stone (Devil's Heart)]: The Philosopher's Stone blessed by the [Healing Hero] has the power to restart the world. Sold for 500 million reward points.

"Actually, there really is such a thing?"

Shanks' eyes widened, he hadn't even been expecting a response from the game merchant just now, he just said it casually.

How is it possible to restart the world?

"Of course he exists. The Healing Hero used the Philosopher's Stone to change his fate, becoming the Stick Hero and starting a new life."

Fang Yi said regretfully: "However, this stone can only restart the world destined by fate, and because of my appearance, the pirate world has broken the destined fate, so the Philosopher's Stone alone cannot do it."

"Unless you can pay to erase all the reward points redeemed by all players."

In other words, you must first take out all the reward points consumed by the game abilities redeemed by all players, and then buy the Philosopher's Stone before you can activate it.

Reward points for all players to redeem for gaming abilities?
An astronomical figure.

Shanks doesn't need to consider it at all, because he absolutely can't do it with his ability, that would be tantamount to making an enemy of the whole world.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there any other way?"

It was originally a self-destructive inquiry, but he didn't expect that there really was a way to restart the world. He was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

"The next best thing is easy."

The Philosopher's Stone disappeared, and in its place, a new stack of special tickets appeared on the counter. [Pirate World Ticket (East Sea Chapter)], [Pirate World Ticket (Rocks Chapter)], [Pirate World Ticket (Blank 100 Years Chapter)]...

Fang Yi spread out the ticket and said, "As long as you are willing, the reward points of the entire Red Hair Pirates should be enough to buy a ticket to the other timelines of the Pirate World."

"timeline?"

The redhead couldn't understand this.

Fang Yi looked at him with a puzzled look, and gently stroked his palm across the counter. A river of time with countless stars appeared.

"Every world has a river of time running through it."

The view zooms in, and the river of time reflects the time when Shanks was young and still on the ship of Roger's pirate group.

Shanks looked serious and thought, "The ability to spy on and know history?"

No wonder the game merchant can clearly know all the forces in the pirate world and has such terrifying abilities.

"Everyone's destiny is moving slowly along this river of time."

As the words fell,

The river of time became turbulent, and countless pictures kept flapping.

Buggy accidentally eats a devil fruit and falls into the water, Captain Roger boards Raftel, Captain Roger is executed, I part ways with Buggy, I get to know Hawkeye, and I become the top of the Four Emperors...

Shanks held his breath, looking at the history that was becoming more and more familiar.

If the river of time continues to move forward, perhaps we can even glimpse the future?
Thinking of this,
Shanks was extremely shocked.

The ability demonstrated by the game merchants is not a fragmentary and unpredictable future like that of Fishman Island, but a real and detailed future.

Before he could speak,
Fang Yi extended his index finger and placed it somewhere in the river of time.
It happened to be the time when Buggy accidentally ate the Devil Fruit.

"Mr. Fang Yi, what do you want to do..."

Shanks couldn't understand the game merchants' actions.
Madam Shirley of Fishman Island has extremely powerful divination abilities and can predict the future, which will definitely come true without error.

But no matter how powerful it is, the River of Time is just a phantom.

Do you want to break the river of time and prevent yourself from knowing the future?

Shanks thought so.

But I saw that as the game merchant's index finger shook,
In the picture reflected by the River of Time, the calm sea surface suddenly became turbulent, causing the Golden Jackson to sway from side to side.

Buggy, who was supposed to hide the devil fruit in his mouth because of his greeting, failed to hold on to the fruit and was directly knocked into Shanks' mouth by the waves.

"Hiss...Is this a hallucination?"

Shanks didn't expect that the scene of the river of time could be changed.

But then there was some laughter and tears,
Although the scene can change, we have long since departed from that history; it is something that has already happened.

I remembered that Buggy originally wanted to sell the devil fruit for money, so he hid it secretly, but later he became a devil fruit user.

No wonder he hated me so much. It was because of my greeting that he accidentally ate the devil fruit.

Shanks still remembers it, it should be the [Split Into Pieces] ability, right?
suddenly,

His expression froze, because when he recalled it for the second time, the memory suddenly began to become blurry.

Then, as he recalled more, the memory in his mind turned into the state after being changed by the game merchant.

Did you eat the devil fruit yourself?
impossible!
Shanks had personally witnessed the power of his friend Buggy's fruit that tore him into pieces, so there was no way he could be wrong.

but……

He felt something was wrong with his body, and his head suddenly separated from his neck.

Falling on the counter.

The fruit is torn into pieces!
