"User of the Return-Return Fruit, Ain..."

Ian glanced at the tall girl before him, her long legs straight and slender, her beauty no less than Tashigi's. In an instant, he identified her.

The power of time was something Ian deeply desired.

If Haki was something he found interesting to grow, offering little enhancement to his strength, and swordsmanship only slightly improved his abilities, then the power of time was absolutely a forbidden domain. If he could grasp it, his strength would increase exponentially!

Ain was one of former Admiral Zephyr's students. Zephyr was a contemporary of Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Hero Garp, and the teacher of the current three Admirals: Kizaru, Aokiji, and Akainu.

"Yes!"

Ain nodded and met Ian's gaze, and she was momentarily stunned.

She was astonished!

Ian appearance was utterly flawless, as if he had stepped out of a fairy tale. He exuded an incomparable, noble, and aloof aura.

His dark green eyes seemed ordinary, yet they held a profound depth like a starry sky. Just one glance left her momentarily lost, this was someone she couldn't see through.

Ain was certain that in the entire Marine Headquarters, or among all the Marines she had ever met, none could compare to Ian in appearance or temperament.

After standing in a daze for a moment, Ain suddenly snapped back to reality. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Ian again.

Ian nodded to her, and Ain was once again stunned. She had never expected that the young man before her, who looked about her age, was the Black-Winged Devil who had set the world ablaze!

Ian looked no older than twenty, similar to her age, yet he already possessed the immense strength to defeat the Four Emperors!

"Vice Admiral Ian! I Apologize for my earlier rudeness!" Ain finally reacted, hastily saluting Ian.

She quickly suppressed her inner turmoil, her expression returning to calm. However, the waves surging in her heart couldn't be quelled in a short time.

Looking at Ain standing before him, Ian's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "There's no need for that title. I'm no longer a Marine. Your ability is the Return-Return Fruit, right? Still unable to help Zephyr-sensei in any way?"

Whether it was this beautiful Marine or the Ninja-like Binz, who possessed the Grow-Grow Fruit, their Devil Fruits should have some benefits for the human body. Growth and maturity should be similar, one reverses time, the other accelerates it.

Yet Zephyr was still covered in injuries. Whitebeard didn't care about his own injuries; he had long since seen through life and death.

But for Zephyr, who had even considered using the deadly weapon Dyna Stones to destroy the world after defecting from the Marines, he clearly had no such concerns.

Ain respectfully replied, "Yes."

She was somewhat surprised that Ian knew about her abilities, but quickly realized it was normal for him to be informed.

"My ability allows me to reverse the time of anything I touch by twelve years, whether it's an object or a living being. Multiple touches can erase it completely!"

As she spoke, Ain activated her ability. A pink flame suddenly appeared on her delicate hand, instantly enveloping a nearby rock. After a few flickers, the surface of the rock became incredibly rough!
