One Piece: From Ninja To Pirates

"A person?"

"Is that a person?!"

Looking at that enormous Giant, Nami was completely stunned.

Why would there be such a huge person in this world?

Was that even reasonable?!

"It really is a person..."

Meiser also looked at the incredibly huge Giant with some surprise and said, "But isn’t this a bit too big?

He’s even larger than that Little Oars I saw before.

Could this be a legendary monster?"

Meanwhile, Usopp shouted in terror, "That guy is the legendary Bald Sea Monster!"

"A sea monster..."

Looking at the appearance of the Bald Sea Monster, Perona showed a disgusted expression.

This was the legendary monster?

It wasn’t cute at all...

"Tch..."

"Huh?!"

Hearing Perona’s voice, Chopper immediately looked at her with a shocked expression and said, "Are you disgusted by him?"

"Correct." Perona said with disgust. "He’s not cute at all."

Chopper: —

Was this really the time to care about something like that?

Just then, the Bald Sea Monster, Watatsumi, raised his enormous fist and swung it downward.

"Not good, he’s going to attack!" Franky’s pupils contracted as he said, "Quick, Meiser!"

"No need..."

Having understood what the other party intended to do, Meiser showed a strange expression and said, "It seems he’s not trying to hit us."

Franky: ???

What did that mean?

What did he mean by "not trying to hit them"?

However, before he could voice his confusion, he saw Watatsumi’s fist slam onto the Lantern Fish’s head, directly raising a huge bump on it!

"Thump!"

"Huh?!"

Seeing this, Usopp and the others immediately showed surprised expressions and said, "So he was trying to hit it?!"

Could it be that this ugly-looking guy had come to rescue them?

"Hey, Kōrō!" Watatsumi said with an annoyed look at the Lantern Fish. "How many times have I told you not to eat ships randomly!"

If this ship got eaten by this guy again, Captain Vander Decken would definitely be furious!

The Lantern Fish, having been punched, looked at Watatsumi with a wronged expression but didn’t dare say anything more. It could only obediently nod, indicating it understood.

Watching the two enormous beings interact, Chopper gulped and said, "Are we saved?"

"Probably." Brook said. "After all, this guy doesn’t seem to intend to attack us."

As for why the other party was doing this, he had no idea.

"Never mind, let’s escape first!" Usopp said excitedly.

Staying here meant they might be attacked by these two monsters!

So... it was better to escape first!

"That’s right, then let’s..." Before Nami could finish her sentence, she noticed a strange shadow appearing behind Watatsumi.

This change immediately caught her attention.

"What is that shadow?!" Nami’s pupils contracted as she said, "Could it be another monster?"

"Monster?!"

Upon hearing Nami’s words, Usopp and Chopper’s faces immediately turned pale.

Two weren’t enough, and now there’s another one?

Meanwhile, Perona’s eyes lit up, her expression growing somewhat excited.

A monster?

That would be great!

"Probably not a monster," Meiser said, stroking his chin. "It looks like a tattered pirate ship."

"Pirate ship?"

The group was momentarily stunned. Why would a tattered pirate ship appear?

Could it have been destroyed by some sea monster?

"Right, a pirate ship," Meiser nodded. "It looks a bit like the one Brook was on back then."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Thousand Sunny fell into a deathly silence.

And at that very moment, an eerie, abnormal sound drifted over from the distance.

"The dead have neither mouths nor desires, in..."

"Huh?"

Hearing that strange, murmuring voice from afar, Brook’s head immediately sprouted a few question marks.

Was that guy talking about him?

"Something’s off," Franky said with a grave expression, staring at the approaching pirate ship. "Why is there a human voice coming from it?"

"Why do you assume it’s a human voice?" Nico Robin said.

Franky: —

Glancing at Nico Robin, who had said this with a straight face, Franky was instantly rendered speechless.

Was this really the time for such a comment?

Upon hearing Nico Robin’s words, Usopp’s face immediately turned pale.

"Could this be a ghost ship?!"

"Why is there a ghost ship underwater too?"

"Eek!!!"

Meiser: ???

Watching Brook scream along with the others, Meiser said somewhat helplessly, "Why are you screaming too?"

"Aren’t you from a ship like that yourself?"

"But this time, we’ve encountered a genuine ghost ship!" Brook pointed at the tattered pirate ship in the distance. "Look at that sail!"

"That’s a pirate ship that shouldn’t exist in this world!"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Brook’s words, a trace of confusion appeared in Franky’s eyes.

What did he mean by a pirate ship that shouldn’t exist in this world?

"Because this pirate ship is the one Vander Decken sailed hundreds of years ago!" Brook said with a grave tone. "For some unknown reason, this man suddenly went insane back then and killed all the crew members on board."

"Not only that, after killing everyone, he even spat at the gods..."

"Such a person, having offended the gods, is destined to endure endless torment, forever wandering the seas!"

"So... this is that ghost ship that has existed for hundreds of years!"

Listening to Brook’s explanation, Meiser stroked his chin and said, "Now that you mention it... he did say earlier that he was Vander Decken."

If he remembered correctly, that person had indeed mentioned that name earlier.

Hearing the two of them speak, Perona’s face immediately lit up with excitement.

"In that case... there must be cute ghosts on board!" Perona exclaimed excitedly.

If there really were such adorable creatures... she absolutely had to catch a few to keep as pets!!!

Hahahaha Nami:

Glancing at Perona, who was brimming with excitement, Nami fell into stunned silence.

Was it really appropriate to say something like that at a time like this?

They were all terrified!

Meanwhile, Merry and Chopper had latched onto Meiser’s legs, seemingly trying to find a sense of security in doing so.

"Meiser, we’re so scared!"

Seeing these two teary-eyed little ones, Meiser sighed helplessly. "Calm down. What if this is also a fake Ghost Ship?"

When they first encountered Brook, hadn’t they also thought they’d come across a Ghost Ship? And what was the result?

It was just a Pirate Ship that had lost its power source!

So he felt this ship might be something similar.

"A fake Ghost Ship?"

Chopper was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Meiser in confusion. "You mean... the one who spoke just now was a living person?"

Just like... when they first met Brook?

"That’s not impossible."

"But this is the deep sea!" Merry exclaimed. "How could there possibly be people in the deep sea?!"

How could humans survive in the ocean?

Not everyone had a Ninja by their side!

"Who said whoever’s on that ship has to be human?" Meiser retorted. "Have you forgotten where we’re headed?"

Their destination was Fish-Man Island, so wasn’t it perfectly normal to encounter Fish-men here?

"Where we’re headed..."

Nami thought carefully for a moment, then suddenly looked up. "You mean... those on the ship are Fish-men?"

As if imagining a certain scene, Nami’s expression turned somewhat grim.

"That’s a possibility," Meiser nodded.

"Oh, so it’s fake after all," Merry sighed in relief.

As long as it wasn’t a real Ghost Ship, everything was fine.

"That makes sense," Franky chuckled. "Wasn’t Brook’s ship the same back then? In the end, there was only him on board, no Ghosts at all!"

"So this ship might be a similar case."

"Exactly."

Nami nodded as well. "After all, Ghost Ships are just legends. They can’t possibly exist in reality."

"Ahahaha, you’re absolutely right!"

Once they confirmed that the ship wasn’t a Ghost Ship, the group immediately relaxed.

As long as it wasn’t a Ghost Ship, everything else was manageable!

Seeing her companions’ expressions return to normal, Nico Robin smiled and said, "Not necessarily."

"Have you forgotten the Kraken we encountered before?"

"If monsters that exist only in legends can appear, then... a Ghost Ship appearing wouldn’t be anything strange either."

Nami and the others:

Staring at Nico Robin, who was smiling at them, Nami and the others froze in horror.

"S-so... you mean..."

"That’s a real Ghost Ship?!"

"Eek!!!"

Screaming in fright at Nico Robin’s words, they clung to Meiser. "Meiser, you have to protect us!!!"

Meiser: ???

Why were more and more people clinging to him...

These useless guys.

"Don’t worry, I’m here," Meiser said helplessly.

He simply didn’t believe that thing was a Ghost Ship.

Hearing this, the others immediately relaxed a bit.

Meanwhile, Perona once again flashed an excited look in her eyes and said, "Ghosts..."

"Eek!!!"

Meiser:

That’s enough from you!

"Hey, Robin, is now really the time to scare them for fun?"

Franky looked at Nico Robin with a speechless expression. When would this dark-hearted older sister ever change her twisted sense of humor?

In response, Nico Robin just smiled and said nothing more.

Looking up at the approaching Pirate Ship, Meiser wiped the expression from his face and said, "Get ready for a fight."

"Huh?"

"Are we going to fight them?" Chopper shivered and said, "I’m so scared..."

"Meiser, are we really going to fight?"

Usopp gulped and said, "What if they don’t mean us any harm?"

Come to think of it, that Bald Sea Monster had just saved them earlier, so...

"It’s just about being prepared in advance," Meiser said.

No one knew whether the other side would attack them or not, so they had to be mentally prepared.

Seeing that Meiser had spoken, the others gradually calmed their emotions, turned to face the approaching Pirate Ship, and each prepared themselves for battle.

Watching as Chopper and the others, despite their fear, still assumed fighting stances, Meiser nodded in satisfaction.

That’s more like it.

Fear is one thing, but when it’s time to act, you absolutely cannot back down!

Otherwise... they’d be the ones to die!

Just then, Chopper said, "By the way... isn’t the temperature even higher now than before?"

"I’m in so much pain..."

With that, Chopper collapsed weakly onto the deck, sweat pouring uncontrollably from his body.

"The temperature really is higher than before," Usopp said with a frown. "This is clearly not right."

"Could it be because of those underwater volcanoes we passed earlier?" Merry raised her hand and said.

She felt this was a very strong possibility.

"That’s right, it’s because of those underwater volcanoes," Nami said with a grave expression. "If I’m not mistaken... the underwater volcanoes might be about to erupt!"

Hearing Nami’s words, everyone was immediately stunned.

Underwater volcano eruption?!

That problem was far more terrifying than the ’Ghost Ship’ they were currently facing!

"The underwater volcanoes are going to erupt?!" Meiser exclaimed in shock.

"Yes."

Nami said with a serious expression, "This rapid temperature change is the best proof!"

"What about Luffy and the others?!" Merry said anxiously.

If Luffy and the others were still in that volcanic area from earlier... wouldn’t they be doomed?!

"Don’t worry, my Clone is there," Meiser reassured her.

Even if they really were in that active volcanic zone, his Clone would be able to protect them.

As for that octopus...

Well, if he was lucky enough to encounter his Clone, he could survive too.

If he didn’t... he could only blame his own bad luck.

"That’s good..." Merry sighed in relief.

Although she didn’t know what method Meiser would use to protect Luffy and the others, as long as they could be saved, it was fine.

"Hurry, let’s get out of here first," Nami said. "At least we need to get away from the volc..."

Before Nami could finish speaking, a man’s roar came from the pirate ship high above.

"Watatsumi, sink them and seize the treasure!"

"Ooh!!!"

Upon receiving the command, Watatsumi nodded, then turned his gaze toward the Thousand Sunny.

"So this guy really is an enemy!" Usopp exclaimed in terror.

"What do we do, what do we do?!"

"Of course, we take him down!" Meiser said.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Meiser appeared at the bow of the Thousand Sunny.

He then prepared to use Ninjutsu to eliminate this arrogant, show-off sea monster who didn’t know his place.

But before he could act, he saw a massive shadow rush over from the side, landing a powerful punch right on Watatsumi’s face.

"Bam!!!"

The heavy fist sent Watatsumi spinning before he crashed hard onto the ground.

"Boom!!"

"Kraken?"

Seeing Kraken suddenly appear, Meiser’s head was instantly filled with question marks.

Why had this creature suddenly come here to protect them?

But before Meiser could say anything more, he spotted Luffy and the other two on Kraken’s body.

Meiser: !!!

So it was them!

"A monster from the North Pole, Kraken..." Vander Decken said with a grave expression as he stared at the suddenly appearing giant. "Why would this creature protect humans?"

Though he didn’t understand the reason, since this thing was protecting humans, it was an enemy!

With that thought, Vander Decken gave the order without hesitation: "Take him down, Watatsumi!"

"Ooh!!"

Shaken from the punch, Watatsumi regained his focus, then turned to face Kraken, his eyes turning fierce.

"Damn you, you piece of..."

"Roar!!"

Not giving him a chance to finish, Kraken swung his tentacles wildly, pummeling Watatsumi’s face until it was swollen.

"That hurts!"

Beaten up, Watatsumi couldn’t stop screaming, the sound sending shivers down everyone’s spine.

"That’s enough, Little Squid!"

"Roar..."

Upon hearing Luffy’s command, Kraken immediately stopped his attack, then broke out in a cold sweat—had his actions displeased his master?

But before he could react, Luffy said, "Well done, Little Squid!"

"Now take us back."

"Roar."

Hearing the praise, Kraken’s face immediately lit up with a human-like smile, then happily carried Luffy and the others back to the Thousand Sunny.

"It’s so great that you’re all alive!"

Seeing the three return to the ship, Merry and Chopper rushed over, both saying, "We were so worried about you!"

Luffy, catching Merry with a toothy grin, said, "Don’t worry, we’re fine."

"Where’s my Clone?" Meiser asked, puzzled.

Why hadn’t he seen his Wood Clone?

"Oh, he said there were outsiders here, so he dispersed on his own," Zoro replied. "Didn’t you receive his memories?"

He remembered Meiser saying that when a Clone disappears, its memories are transmitted back.

"Wood Clones don’t have that feature," Meiser shook his head.

Zoro: ???

Is it really that complicated?

"Where on earth have you all been?" Nami said, hands on her hips. "We had to search all over for you."

"It’s all because of this idiot," Sanji said, shooting an annoyed glance at Zoro. "If it weren’t for him, we’d have been back long ago."

"What do you mean?"

"Meiser’s Clone had already found Luffy and me," Sanji explained. "But because this guy Zoro got lost, Meiser took us to look for him. We only came back after finding him."

Everyone:

Hearing Sanji’s explanation, everyone immediately wore complicated expressions. Just like Zoro, huh.

They glanced at Zoro, who looked slightly embarrassed and had turned his head away, making their expressions even more complex.

This guy really is something else.

"Tch, just Number Seven."

Sanji: ???

"You bastard, I’ll kick you to death!!"

"Bring it on!!"

And so, the two of them started fighting again, banging and clattering.

"You two really have endless energy," Usopp muttered.

After just going through a life-and-death adventure, they still have this much spirit... Truly, they’re something else.

Meanwhile, Meiser watched the two with a smile, thinking to himself, ’Zoro really is a clever guy.

He actually knows how to use this method to dispel the awkwardness.

Sanji is smart too, knowing how to play along with Zoro at a time like this... Truly a pair of bickering lovebirds.’

"Hey, don’t relax just yet!

We’re still not out of danger!" Nami said. "Let’s get out of here first!"

With the Ghost Ship ahead and an active volcano behind... Staying here any longer is just asking for death!

"Huh?"

Seeing that Zoro and Sanji showed no signs of stopping, Nami’s face immediately twitched with anger.

But this time, before she could act, Perona stepped in.

"I’ll handle it!"

Perona summoned two Negative Spirits, which then passed effortlessly through Zoro and Sanji’s bodies.

"Bzzz"

"I... I’m just scum..."

"Getting lost as soon as I step outside... I’m such an idiot..."

"Hara hara hara"

Seeing the two taken down with just one move, Perona couldn’t help but laugh.

She’s pretty good, huh? The others, seeing this scene, couldn’t hold back their laughter either.

Zoro, having recovered, looked a little embarrassed. He then glared at Perona and said, "Hey, what are you doing?!"

Sanji, meanwhile, lay flat on the ground, not wanting to move at all.

"Is now really the time to fight, you two idiots!" Perona said irritably, looking at Zoro. "The underwater volcano is about to erupt!"

Although she really wanted to check out the Ghost Ship ahead, for the safety of everyone on this ship... It’s better to get away from here first!

"Volcano eruption?"

Zoro was taken aback. That’s happening now?

"Then let’s escape first," Sanji said, getting up. "We can talk about everything else after we get away."

As for what just happened with the Negative Spirits?

He even indicated that he was already used to being dealt with like that, so it didn’t matter.

"Then let Little Yula pull us away!" Luffy said, grinning with his teeth bared.

"Why give an octopus a name that sounds like squid..." Usopp muttered.

"Because I think it’s fun, hahahaha."

"Fun, you say..."

Listening to Luffy’s words, Usopp fell into deep thought.

It seemed... that was indeed something Luffy would do.

"Little Squid, lift up the Thousand Sunny and let’s go to Fish-Man Island together!" Luffy stood up and shouted.

"ROAR!!"

Upon receiving the command, Kraken roared and then placed the Thousand Sunny on its head, slowly walking into the distance.

"He won’t crush our pirate ship, will he?" Usopp said worriedly, looking at Kraken’s tentacles.

Such enormous tentacles... crushing their pirate ship would be as easy as child’s play!

"Don’t worry, he won’t," Luffy grinned and laughed.

Hearing Luffy’s trust in him, Kraken immediately showed a happy smile on its face, then became even more careful in controlling its strength, afraid of crushing the pirate ship.

"Damn Kraken," Vander Decken said through gritted teeth, glaring at Kraken. "To think it would become a human’s servant...

Doesn’t this creature know it belongs to the sea?!"

"Hey, Captain, should we chase after them?"

"Of course we’re chasing!" Vander Decken roared. "When has a pirate ship I’ve set my eyes on ever escaped?"

"Right!"

Hearing Vander Decken’s vigorous roar, the fish-men behind him immediately joined in with their own roars.

This was their captain!

"Watatsumi, get up, we’re going to catch them!" Vander Decken said.

"Understood!"

Upon receiving the order, Watatsumi stood up from the ground, clearly intending to pursue Kraken.

"What is that thing?"

Zoro, standing on the deck, looked puzzled at the colossal figure and said, "A seafloor giant?"

"So cool!"

Luffy’s eyes sparkled as he said, "This is the first time I’ve seen someone so big!"

This is just too awesome!

"We don’t know what that thing is either," Franky said. "It’s probably some kind of special deep-sea creature."

As for whether it’s a monster?

Sorry, he wouldn’t even think in that direction.

"And what about that broken-down pirate ship that made the noise earlier?" Sanji pointed at the pirate ship and asked.

"That’s a ghost ship!" Perona said. "There might be ghosts on it!!"

"Ghost ship?"

Hearing the words "ghost ship," Sanji was momentarily stunned. Do ghost ships really exist in this world?

Meanwhile, Luffy showed an extremely excited expression and said, "Ghost ship?"

"Awesome, let’s go catch some ghosts!"

Seeing Luffy’s reaction, Perona immediately moved closer to him and said, "Won’t it be dangerous?"

"After all, there’s an underwater volcano right behind us."

"It hasn’t erupted yet, right?" Luffy grinned and laughed. "So let’s go check it out."

Hearing Luffy say this, Perona clearly became tempted.

However, she didn’t say anything immediately. Instead, she first glanced at the volcano cluster behind them.

Seeing no unusual activity there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she showed an excited expression and said, "Then let’s go!"

"When the time comes, we’ll catch a few ghosts and raise them!"

"Alright!"

Watching these two people whose eyes were practically sparkling, Meiser was rendered utterly speechless.

You two really can play well together, huh...

"Idiots, why are you looking for ghosts at a time like this!" Nami said angrily. "The priority right now is to..."

Before Nami could finish her sentence, an enormous explosion sounded from behind, terrifyingly loud.

"BOOM!!!"

"Wh-what?!"

Glancing at the gradually brightening light behind them, Usopp swallowed and said, "Could it be that the underwater volcano is about to erupt?"

"That’s right..."

Nami said with a grim expression, "The underwater volcano is about to erupt..."

This terrifying shaking and reaction... it’s definitely the prelude to an underwater volcanic eruption!

"Then let’s get out of here quickly!" Franky said. "Otherwise, our pirate ship will be destroyed by the lava!"

At this distance, the lava would catch up to them in no time!

"But we want to catch ghosts..."

Looking at these two idiots still obsessing over ghosts, Nami immediately got angry and punched each of them.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

After giving them both big lumps on their heads, Nami opened her shark-like mouth and roared, "Is now the time to be thinking about ghosts?!"

"Escaping for our lives is what matters most!!!"

Can’t these two idiots tell what’s urgent and what’s not?!

"Oh..."

After being beaten, the two immediately behaved themselves.

Seeing their somewhat aggrieved expressions, Meiser couldn’t help but laugh.

Then, Meiser pointed at the ghost ship in the distance that was also frantically fleeing and said, "Those guys have already run away, so there’s still a chance we might meet them again."

"Really?!"

Hearing Meiser’s words, Luffy and Perona’s eyes immediately lit up.

If they could meet again... then they would definitely catch a few ghosts!

"Probably," Meiser said.

"Great!"

Looking at the two who had regained their energy, Meiser smiled, then turned his gaze back to the pirate ship in the distance, thinking to himself: ’It’s just... this might not be a ghost ship. If it really were a ghost ship, it wouldn’t care about an underwater volcanic eruption, since ghosts aren’t afraid of physical attacks!’

But Meiser didn’t say this out loud, leaving Luffy and Perona with a bit of hope.

"Luffy, hurry up and get Little Squid moving!" Nami said. "Tell him to take us out of here at top speed!"

"That’s not necessary."

Usopp glanced at Kraken’s expression and said, "He’s already running as fast as he can."

That terrified expression... it seems he’s also very afraid of the underwater volcano behind them.

"That’s great."

Nami sighed in relief.

It was even better if he was willing to flee on his own, as that would push him to his limits!!!

"Kraken..."

Walking to the side of the ship and looking at Kraken’s fleeing posture, Nico Robin said, "He runs so awkwardly."

It gave the impression of running in a messy, disorganized way—it really did look ugly.

"Indeed."

Perona, who had come to Nico Robin’s side and looked down, nodded in agreement.

This guy called Little Squid isn’t cute at all.

Usopp: ...

"Isn’t the focus a bit too strange?" Usopp complained.

Is how graceful the fleeing posture looks really that important?

What matters is escaping alive, damn it!!!

"What does an underwater volcano eruption even look like?" Luffy said curiously. "I really want to see it."

"Idiot, don’t say things like that!"

Chopper frantically covered Luffy’s mouth, saying, "What if..."

Before Chopper could finish, another terrifying explosion sounded from behind, followed by a massive surge of magma erupting from the volcano’s crater!

"BOOM!!!"

Chopper:

Watching the erupting magma, Chopper froze in terror.

Had he covered Luffy’s mouth too late...?

Was he going to get burned to death?!

Roast reindeer?

As if imagining the scene, Chopper immediately burst into tears.

"Now you’ve seen it," Meiser glared at Luffy. "Are you satisfied?"

In response, Luffy just grinned toothily without saying another word.

Meiser shook his head helplessly, then walked to the bow of the ship to look into the distance, hoping to spot a safe place.

Just then, Meiser noticed a massive trench far ahead.

Seeing this, he immediately said, "Nami, there’s a huge trench ahead. Is that the way to Fish-Man Island?"

Hearing Meiser, Nami quickly joined him at the bow and glanced at the Log Pose in her hand.

Then, she said, "That’s the direction!"

"Then I’ll lift Little Squid," Meiser said.

Although having this big guy carry the ship was fun, his speed was clearly no match for the magma chasing them... So, it was better to use his Water Release Technique to hurry along!

"But if you act now, you might expose yourself," Nami said anxiously.

As she spoke, she glanced at the massive Watatsumi running ahead.

Meiser also noticed those guys, a flicker of killing intent flashing in his eyes as he said, "Then..."

Before he could finish, he saw Watatsumi and the pirate ship get swept up by a sea current, vanishing from their sight in the blink of an eye.

Meiser: ???

What was that?

Just as he was about to strike, they got swept away by the current?

"Due to the temperature difference in the water, the sea current formed a whirlpool," Nami explained. "So those guys are probably far from here now."

"That’s even better!" Meiser said.

Without hesitation, Meiser clapped his hands together and shouted, "Water Release - Super Water Dragon Bullet Technique!!!"

"Hum"

The next moment, the sea began to tremble, and an enormous Water Dragon emerged!

"ROAR!!!"

The Water Dragon roared, then lifted Kraken and the ship, swiftly charging toward the distant trench!

"Roar?"

Looking at the Water Dragon holding him up, Kraken’s head visibly sprouted several question marks.

What was this thing?

"This is my ability," Meiser said from the bow. "So just relax."

"Roar"

Hearing Meiser’s explanation, Kraken nodded, then turned back to watch the terrifying scene with a hint of glee.

If not for this human, he wouldn’t have had the chance to enjoy such a view so leisurely.

Seeing this, Meiser laughed. "You... getting cocky now that we’re safe, huh?"

"Roar"

Hearing Meiser, Kraken grinned even wider.

After observing the situation for a moment, Nami let out a sigh of relief and said, "Whew... looks like everything’s fine now."

Meiser’s Water Release Technique moved at an incredible speed, so there was absolutely no problem shaking off the magma!

Then, Nami looked ahead at the trench and said, "We’ll go down from there, and then we can reach Fish-Man Island."

"Alright!" Meiser gave Nami a thumbs-up and said, "Leave it to me!!"
