"Video Through Anime: Inventory of the Top Ten Combat Ceilings"

Chapter 12: 12: Searching for the Reverse Age Fruit User



No need to guess—it was yet another trending video.

After a quick wash-up, Bei Feng leisurely turned on his computer and logged into the official Multiverse Projection website.

[Wow! Whitebeard truly deserves the title of the world's strongest man! So impressive! His attitude toward his family is so touching, it makes people cry!]

Rito Yuuki tipped a few anime coins under the video...

[One hand shakes the heavens! One hand quakes the earth! Mountains and seas move at his will! Is this the world's strongest man? Compared to him, even I would struggle to hold my ground!]

Zhang Buwei tipped an anime coin...

[That height and build, like a towering mountain, every move radiating dominance! Such strength, I, Might Guy, truly admire!]

Might Guy also tipped an anime coin...

[This is truly a one-man blockade, an unstoppable force! Deserves a tip!]

...

Comments filled with admiration and envy were endless. In Bei Feng's mind, Whitebeard was not only incredibly powerful but also a man of immense personal charisma.

It was a pity he sacrificed himself in the Marineford War, and Ace couldn't be saved in the end.

[That guy named Sakazuki (Red Dog) is absolutely disgusting. He keeps preaching about justice, yet all he does is resort to despicable methods.]

[I really want to kill him myself! Such hypocrisy! He'll do anything to achieve his goals—no morals at all!]

Many ordinary citizens from the One Piece world also saw Bei Feng's video.

For the majority who were unaware of the full story, the Marine Admirals' performance in the video was quite disappointing.

[And this guy is supposed to be a Marine Admiral? I can't even imagine what kind of corruption must exist within the Marines!]

[Why am I starting to side with the pirates? Whitebeard doesn't seem that bad at all.]

[You people enjoy the Marines' protection, yet you still slander them? Isn't that disgusting?!]

Among the flood of comments, Bei Feng noticed a message and a private chat from Marco.

After a brief look, his eyes lit up.

A Mythical Zoan-type Tyrannosaurus Fruit?

That was a great find!

Bei Feng himself wasn't particularly fond of Zoan-type Devil Fruits. After all, transforming into a completely different species felt a bit odd.

But from what Bei Feng knew, in this world full of supernatural beings, transformation-based abilities did exist.

They were rare and incredibly powerful.

"This Mythical Zoan T-Rex Fruit would be perfect for Wang Hai."

Wang Hai had always envied those with powerful transformation abilities. Not only could they protect their homeland, but they could also enhance their own strength.

Since they were close friends—and Bei Feng had promised him before—he figured this would be a fitting gift.

But how could he help Whitebeard save Ace?

Whitebeard was already in his seventies, much like Garp. Due to his age, his strength had severely declined.

A steep decline.

If Whitebeard were a few decades younger, the Marines at Marineford wouldn't have been able to stop the Whitebeard Pirates from rescuing Ace.

Getting younger...

The thought suddenly struck Bei Feng, and his eyes shone with excitement—he remembered someone!

A woman with long, wavy, ocean-blue hair and an X-shaped scar on her right leg—Ain.

Her Devil Fruit ability could make people younger!

Anything she touched would have its age reversed by twelve years. If she touched a person multiple times, they could regress to infancy or even disappear. This ability also applied to non-living objects, restoring them to their state twelve years prior.

Unfortunately, she was a Marine...

[I can provide you with a way to increase your combat power, but how you accomplish it is up to you.]

[Use your pirate intelligence network to find a Marine named Ain. She possesses the Reverse Age Fruit and should currently be wandering outside, whereabouts unknown.]

[If you manage to find her, have her touch Whitebeard two or three times while ensuring she remains conscious. Your old man's strength will be restored to its peak.]

[With that, the outcome of the Marineford War might change.]

As the Whitebeard Pirates sailed toward Marineford under the morning sun, Marco, overwhelmed with emotion, transformed into his phoenix form and flew between the ships of each division.

Once again, he gathered all the division commanders.

"The original video creator has given us a reliable lead. I think it's worth trying."

Marco's words sparked confusion among the other commanders.

"A lead?"

"Is it trustworthy?"

Marco then explained Ain's Devil Fruit ability to the other commanders.

Everyone was stunned.

A younger Whitebeard...

Whitebeard at his prime...

What kind of force would that be?

"This video creator is incredible. His intelligence-gathering abilities seem far superior to our entire pirate crew's network. I can't even imagine his background."

"Even the World Government couldn't do this. Many Devil Fruit abilities remain a mystery."

"The most terrifying thing is that he knows the future! He's probably even more powerful than the Celestial Dragons. This video is proof."

"Bah! Celestial Dragons? They don't deserve to be compared!"

The division commanders were so engrossed in discussing Bei Feng's identity and background that they almost forgot about Ain and Whitebeard's restoration.

Marco, however, deeply respected the video's creator. If the information was accurate, it would be an immense help.

"R-Report, Captain! We've found intel on Marine Ain!"

A pirate came stumbling from the deck, excitement plastered across his face as he rushed toward Marco.

"She exists, and according to the latest reports, she recently entered the New World with a group of Marine soldiers. Apparently, she's searching for an energy source left behind by Z."

The New World?

The Whitebeard Pirates were just about to leave the New World's waters. Marco asked excitedly.

"How recent is this intel?"

"Just yesterday! Heard it from Westport Town!"

Marco laughed heartily, his excitement soaring.

"Brothers! The Whitebeard Pirates are halting our journey. Drop anchor at the nearest shore!"

"Everyone, search for Marine Ain!"

"Remember!"

"Do not harm her! We must find her before Pops wakes up!"

Under Marco's command, the mighty fleet of the Whitebeard Pirates scattered like a swarm of bees, covering hundreds of kilometers around Westport Town.

...

Meanwhile, Bei Feng was counting the anime coins he had earned from this video. He now had over 2,300 anime coins, and the number kept rising over time.

Just as he was about to browse the exchange interface, a sudden, urgent knock on the door interrupted him.

It was Wang Hai.
