Chapter 997 Miranda is not a Devil Fruit User
Zoro is in the middle of the situation and doesn't know the whole picture, but the audience outside the screen have already started to use their imaginations to imagine how the whole thing will break the cycle of time.
Since Miranda is the future user of the To-To-To-Nomi Fruit, the huge dial that suddenly appeared in the sky might be the manifestation of the To-To-To-Nomi Fruit.
The upper limit of the power of the devil fruit is really hard to imagine. Miranda may not even know that she is a devil fruit user. It is really a strange thing that a devil fruit user is trapped by his own devil fruit.
Zoro and Miranda in the sky did not spend time getting to know each other again. The man readily agreed to the woman's request.
However, Zoro's poor sense of direction exceeded Miranda's limit of tolerance. Even though the two of them were walking side by side, the green-haired swordsman would change direction on his own initiative, and Miranda would correct him every time.
Normally, the woman only needed ten minutes to walk on this extremely familiar street, but with a man by her side, it took her nearly thirty minutes to leave the crowded area.
Princess Komani likes to rush around recklessly. Unfortunately, a few drops of mud splashed onto Miranda's skirt when the vehicle hit a puddle, and her unlucky attribute was triggered again.
"Come to my house and sit down. Let's work together to find a way to escape from here."
Miranda continued to invite Zoro to go upstairs to talk, and the green algae-haired swordsman followed behind. The man wanted to find an opportunity to test whether the woman was a devil fruit user.
Don't be fooled by a woman's weak appearance. Smart women will lie. The lustful cook was often fooled, and as a result, Sauron owed the little thief a lot of money.
Zoro has experienced women's little tricks and little tricks on Nami. Sometimes you can't trust women's tears. Nami is the best at fake crying to gain sympathy.
A man and a woman were in the same room. It was a good time for them to sit down and talk. Then, the familiar crow's call "quack" sounded again, and a crow successfully flew into the room through the gap in the window.
Miranda fell on Zoro's shoulder without fear. She looked at the bird with black feathers and a bit of bad luck. In the eyes of others, the arrival of the crow was not a good thing and often symbolized the arrival of bad luck.
"You are the crow summoned by Uchiha Shisui. If you are going to react..."
Zoro remembered the scene where Uchiha Shisui used summoning magic to summon a group of crows on the outskirts of the Hades Island. These black-haired beasts all looked similar, and the one on his shoulder was most likely one of them.
"Mr. Zoro, crows are ominous birds. They are not very smart."
The next moment, he was slapped in the face. The crow opened its beak and spoke in human language: "Zoro, you are really lucky. You only need one day to encounter the source of the incident."
The voice of Uchiha Shisui came from the crow's throat. Zoro didn't feel any surprise about this. Some devil fruit users could control animals that were close to them.
However, judging from the hand seals used by Uchiha Shisui, he should not be a user with special abilities, but rather the ninja that Kenpachi Zaraki once mentioned, a power system that disappeared in the long river of history.
Kenpachi Zaraki said that the reappearance of real ninjas in the world may not be a good thing. It is one of the signs of turbulent times, and the appearance of ninjas often represents chaos.
After Shisui and Zoro entered the Kingdom of Lulucia, they were separated by a mysterious force, which tried to cover up the incident by dispersing the team.
Shisui summoned a group of crows in an empty corner, and let thousands of crows fly to every corner of the Kingdom of Lulucia, letting these ninja beasts search for Zoro.
The entire meeting and conversation between Zoro and Kuina was seen by a crow. Each crow can synchronize its vision with Shisui and can also archive what it sees.
At one o'clock in the morning, when time went back, Shisui used the ability of his Sharingan to send the crow with memories into another space.
Even before it lost its memory, a program was added to the crow, so that when the time was up, the ninja beast would automatically leave the alien space, fly back to its master, and return the lost memory to Shisui in the form of an illusion.
Shisui, who had restored his memory, also restored Zoro's memory in the same way, using the Sharingan to exploit the loophole in the time reversal phenomenon.
There are so many outsiders in the Kingdom of Lulucia recently, perhaps only he can do this. Zoro is a little curious. Since Shisui is so powerful, why doesn't he solve this incident independently and find help from the Hades Island?
The two of them connected everything they knew together. This time it was Miranda's turn to be confused, "I'm not a devil fruit user, I'm just an ordinary person. If I really had the ability to go back in time, I wouldn't have such a hard life."
Miranda's clothes were obviously faded, and there were not even a few decent pieces of furniture in the house. Most of the valuable things left by her parents had to be sold due to livelihood difficulties.
Now Miranda can only borrow money to pay taxes. She is unlikely to be able to keep the house she lives in because she cannot even pay the interest. She has to work three jobs every day to supplement her family income.
Zoro would not believe the woman's one-sided story. Snow unsheathed the blade and pointed it directly at Miranda's neck. The woman looked at the gleaming knife coming at her, her body frozen in fear, and she closed her eyes waiting for the death sentence.
The extremely sharp sword stopped near Miranda's neck and cut off more than a dozen of the woman's hair. Zoro was very disappointed that he didn't expect the woman to be so timid and not to resist at all.
"It seems that she is really not a person with special abilities. I misunderstood you a little bit." Zoro put the knife back into the sheath. Miranda, who survived the disaster, broke out in a cold sweat.
The decadent woman sat on the ground, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes. She kept reminding herself in her heart that pirates should not be trusted so easily. If the knife was off by even a little bit, the blade would have cut into her neck.
"Zoro is really like you. You actually use such violent testing methods." Crow acted surprised, obviously not expecting Zoro to suddenly take action.
If Miranda is really not the user of the To-To-To-To fruit and she has never eaten any devil fruits, then we must start by investigating the things she has come into contact with.
Zoro and Crow, led by Miranda, searched the house very quickly because the woman was so poor that she had nothing.
Apart from a bed and a dressing mirror, there was not much clutter, and some rag dolls from childhood, but even Bailey couldn't find one.
If Zoro had been short of money, he would have wanted to help Miranda, a poor woman. She was so poor that she couldn't afford to eat, and there was not even any food at home.
Even her usual drinking water was replaced by rainwater. When she was occasionally too hungry, Miranda would use rainwater to fill her stomach.
"Don't you have anything related to clocks in your house?"
"I sold that valuable thing a long time ago. Now that you mention it, I remember that I seemed to have been to a church before and saw an oversized watch face."
Miranda was stimulated by the sword and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as she recalled the memory of a few months ago. Before the time went back, she went to the church's soup kitchen to get food.
There is a huge round clock face on the stone wall of the church, reminding people passing by that the day has passed.
