Chapter 69: Clairvoyance Magic
When Kazuma Yumesaki had communicated with Serie earlier, she mentioned that she had recently heard news about Frieren and the Hero party conquering the Demon King.
Serie had also asked Yumesaki if the story of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End was a tale about the Hero's struggle against the Demon King.
Yumesaki had denied it.
On the surface, it seemed that Hero Himmel shouldn't have passed away yet.
However, one must never look at things merely at face value.
It was important to remember that the concept of time for an Elf and the concept of time for a human were two entirely different things. To a human, "not long ago" might mean a few days or a few months.
But to an incredibly long-lived Elf, one month ago was "not long ago," one year ago was "not long ago," ten years ago was "not long ago," and even a century ago might still be considered "not long ago."
Therefore, trying to confirm whether Himmel was dead or alive based solely on the phrase "not long ago" was a reckless endeavor.
Of course, Yumesaki had an expert at granting wishes on his side: Orochimaru. Even if Himmel truly had passed away, he could use Summoning: Impure World Resurrection to pull the man back from the afterlife.
But doing so would likely result in him being hunted down by Frieren.
The risks far outweighed the rewards.
Wait a minute, Yumesaki thought. Since we have the Impure World Resurrection, why bother reviving Himmel?
Wouldn't it be better to resurrect a top-tier swordsman from the world of One Piece?
For instance, Zoro's ancestor, the legendary dragon-slaying swordsman of Wano Country—Shimotsuki Ryuma.
That man's strength was guaranteed to be no less than Dracule Mihawk's; he might even be stronger. If he were brought back through Summoning: Impure World Resurrection, he would be a formidable combat force.
Yumesaki rubbed his chin and spoke up. "If you're looking for a swordsman who is your equal, it's not like one doesn't exist. What do you think about the legendary Dragon-Slaying Samurai from Wano Country, Shimotsuki Ryuma?"
Dracule Mihawk wore an expression as if he were being toyed with. He knew of the Dragon-Slaying Samurai, but the problem was that the man had been dead for hundreds of years.
Reading Mihawk's thoughts, Yumesaki said with a smile, "Don't be in such a rush. Shimotsuki Ryuma is indeed dead, but that doesn't mean there isn't a way for him to cross blades with you."
Mihawk scoffed. "Are you saying you can actually bring him back to life?"
"It's not impossible," Yumesaki replied.
Mihawk: "???"
Listen to what you're actually saying, Mihawk thought. Reviving someone who has been dead for centuries?
Even a Devil Fruit user wouldn't be able to pull off a feat like that.
Yumesaki smiled and said, "Just come with me, and you'll see."
He raised his hand and activated the power of the Door-Door Fruit: Air Door. The space behind the door wasn't just anywhere; it led to the port city of Nanohana in the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Mihawk's pupils constricted sharply, and he gave Yumesaki a deep, searching look.
A few minutes ago, he was still in the East Blue.
A few minutes later, he was already back in the Grand Line.
This level of speed was completely nonsensical.
"You're an ability user too?" Mihawk admitted he was starting to feel a sense of curiosity toward Yumesaki. An ability like this was simply too practical.
Yumesaki nodded. "You could say I'm a user of the Door-Door Fruit ability."
"The Door-Door Fruit?" Mihawk noted. "I've heard of that fruit, but as I recall, it's only meant for short-distance movement. Could it be that you've reached Awakening?"
If the other party was an ability user who had reached Awakening, it might actually be possible to perform long-distance teleportation through the Door-Door Fruit.
"You could say that."
The Door-Door Fruit Yumesaki had consumed had been absorbed by the Golden Gate. Consequently, Yumesaki could utilize the fruit's powers through the Golden Gate itself. The issue of Awakening was irrelevant.
Or rather, once the Golden Gate swallowed the Door-Door Fruit, Yumesaki gained access to its full potential.
Long-distance travel was no trouble at all for him.
"Why have we come here?" Mihawk asked. "If you can really revive that Dragon-Slaying Samurai, shouldn't we be heading to Wano Country?"
Yumesaki shook his head. "Shimotsuki Ryuma isn't in Wano. His corpse was stolen by Gecko Moria and is currently located in the Florian Triangle. So, we need to board a ship and head to the Florian Triangle to find him."
"If that's the case, why come to Alabasta first?"
"Because I've never been to the Florian Triangle before."
Yumesaki answered honestly, "The Door-Door Fruit can help me arrive instantly at a place I've already visited or a place I can see. But it can't help me go somewhere I can't see or a place I've never set foot in."
"Therefore, we stop at Alabasta first, then take a ship toward the Florian Triangle."
Mihawk suddenly understood. "I see. And where is this ship?"
Yumesaki turned and glanced at Hashirama.
Hashirama nodded and clapped his hands together. "Wood Release: Shipbuilding Technique!"
In an instant, a luxurious three-story sailing ship sprouted directly out of the ground.
Mihawk: "I've seen many things in my time, but I have truly never seen anything like this."
For a ship of that size to grow out of the earth was incredibly rare.
No, it could be called outright absurd.
Once the group boarded the vessel, Yumesaki cast a speed-enhancing magic over the ship.
This magic wasn't just for self-acceleration; it could also be applied to inanimate objects.
With the help of this spell, a wooden sailing ship was able to travel as fast as a modern yacht.
This was the true meaning of "cutting through the waves."
As the ship sped toward the Florian Triangle, Yumesaki took a moment to visit the world of Naruto to meet with Serie, requesting a specific magic from her.
Clairvoyance Magic.
As established, Yumesaki could use the Door-Door Fruit to reach any place he could see.
If he mastered Clairvoyance, he could use the Door-Door Fruit to arrive at any corner of the One Piece world.
Originally, Yumesaki intended to ask for a Grimoire of Clairvoyance from Serie to study the magic on his own.
However, once Serie heard that Yumesaki wanted the spell, she directly transferred the knowledge to him.
This made Yumesaki feel quite awkward.
After all, Serie had already given him three spells previously.
Asking for another one made Yumesaki feel as though he was being overly greedy.
Serie, however, held a different view. "With your understanding of magic, if you wanted to learn Clairvoyance on your own, it would take at least a year or even longer."
"But for me, it only takes a week—maybe even less—to relearn such a spell."
"Which do you think is more efficient?"
"So don't feel bad. Any magic you take a liking to, you can just ask me for it directly."
"Of course, if you truly feel guilty, you can simply introduce me to more worlds."
Both the world of One Piece and the world of Naruto possessed many things that piqued Serie's interest.
Therefore, in Serie's eyes, a few spells were nowhere near enough to repay the favor Yumesaki had done for her.
As long as Yumesaki was willing to show her more worlds, she wouldn't mind giving him as much magic as he wanted.
