The sea was calm, and the salty, damp breeze lightly brushed against their cheeks.
Roy sat cross-legged at the very front of the deck, thinking to himself, Something's not right. With my current physical strength and mental power, it shouldn't be difficult to awaken Armament Haki. From Witt's memories, his physique was far weaker than mine when he developed Armament Haki. Is there something I haven't considered? Unfortunately, there's still too little information on Armament Haki to make an accurate judgment.
"Captain, I've discovered that something is wrong!" King walked over with a somewhat grave expression, interrupting Roy's thoughts.
King's words drew everyone's attention. Roy turned around curiously and asked, "What is it?"
"We're probably being watched. Ever since we entered these waters, we haven't encountered a single ship. It's as if this entire sea region has already been cleared out."
Yonji said unconcernedly, "That's perfectly normal. When the Phantom Sword Pirates pass through an area, naturally no one would dare show themselves. Those cowards must have run far away before we even noticed them."
"That was what I thought at first as well. But just now, while training my Observation Haki, I seemed to vaguely sense hostile intent."
Upon hearing that, Xia was eager to give it a try. "Are there more enemies who don't know their place? Perfect. Let me test the complete form of the ability I developed on the island."
Xun puffed out her small chest. "And me! I've been working very hard on developing my ability lately too."
King held his forehead with one hand and sighed. "Don't you understand the seriousness of this? Anyone who knows how strong we are yet still has the nerve to ambush us definitely isn't an ordinary enemy. We need to treat this cautiously."
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Roy clapped
