Poseidon's awakening

Back on Shirahoshi's side, as she struggled in despair, she suddenly heard Haku's voice.

"Is that you, Lady Haku!" Shirahoshi cried out as if she had grasped at a straw.

Hody Jones, who was about to Shirahoshi Noah, was grabbed and pulled towards Noah's Ark by an arm that kept extending outwards!

Haku glanced at Luffy's condition and then answered Shirahoshi's question, saying, "It's me!"

"Lady Haku! Please help me! I know you have a way!" Shirahoshi placed her hopes on Haku.

Unfortunately, Haku wasn't about to let such an opportunity slip by.

He began by saying, "From now on, I will not help you!"

"Why!" Upon hearing Haku's refusal, Shirahoshi's nascent hope plummeted once more into despair!

Haku added fuel to the fire, saying, "There's no reason why!"

He continued, "You probably don't have time to get Noah away now!"

A series of clicking sounds rang out, and it was clear that Noah, who had just been following behind Shirahoshi, was now experiencing the sensation of falling!

"What's going on!" Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Shirahoshi immediately flew to the side, attempting to take Noah away from the Fish-Man Island beneath them!

Unfortunately, even Haku said it was too late, and it really was too late!

Noah plummeted another great distance, a scene that appeared to others as if the end of the world was imminent.

Haku continued, "Listen, Vander Decken is dying! And that Target-Target Devil Fruit ability that he's attached to Noah could fail at any moment!"

"What!" Shirahoshi was completely stunned by this news.

She hadn't expected things to progress so quickly and uncontrollably. She had initially held onto a sliver of hope that Haku's power could stop Noah's destruction, but now even that last hope was shattered.

"Once Noah loses the power of the Mark-Mark Fruit, he will immediately lose control and plummet to the bottom of the sea. At that time, the entire Fish-Man Island will cease to exist." Haku's voice was cold and ruthless, as if she were pronouncing a death sentence on Shirahoshi.

Shirahoshi's heart sank to the bottom. Looking down at the approaching Fish-Man Island, her heart was filled with despair. She didn't want to see this ending, but she was powerless to change anything.

However, at that moment, Haku's voice rang in her ear. "Shirahoshi, do you want to save them?"

"Lady Haku, what else can we do?" Shirahoshi's voice trembled slightly.

Haku's voice was both enticing and encouraging. "Whether you can save them or not depends on you! From now on, close your eyes! Take a deep breath!"

Shirahoshi's eyes blurred for a moment, and then she immediately followed Haku's instructions and began to take deep breaths.

Haku spoke slowly again, "Listen carefully to the sounds of the sea! Remember, this the Sea belongs to you, and your power is boundless. You are not only the princess of Fish-Man Island!"

"He is the true guardian of this the Sea, the true Poseidon!!! Now, it's time to awaken the power within you."

Shirahoshi kept her eyes tightly closed, and Haku's calm and firm voice rang in her ears. She tried to calm herself down, took deep breaths, and felt everything around her.

At first, all she could hear was the loud crash of Noah's Ark falling, a sound that immediately made her anxious.

She almost broke free from Haku's grasp! Fortunately, Haku used her Observation Haki to sense the situation and quickly calmed Shirahoshi down!

Very quickly! Even though the distance was already far, guided by Haku's Observation Haki, Shirahoshi 'heard' the terrified screams of the Fish-Man Island in the distance. But gradually, these sounds disappeared, and her consciousness began to sink into the deep sea.

She felt the seawater gently lapping against her body, as warm and safe as a mother's embrace. She heard the sounds of various marine creatures: the playful sounds of fish, the breathing of corals, and the deep, powerful heartbeats of ancient Sea King.

A strong sense of resonance welled up in Shirahoshi's heart; she felt as if she had become one with the Sea.

Her consciousness began to expand, and she felt some kind of ability gradually Awakening within her. Her hands unconsciously clasped together in front of her, and before she knew it, she seemed to hear the Sea King conversing, even though they were very far away!

That's right! When Shirahoshi could truly 'hear' the conversations between the Sea King, her ability to communicate with all things truly Awakening!

"Shirahoshi, open your eyes!" Haku's voice rang out again.

Shirahoshi slowly opened her eyes, a resolute light shining within them. She raised her head, gazing at the Noah's Ark ship about to plunge into the sea. She took a deep breath and then called out loudly.

As her call rang out, the surrounding seawater began to boil. As if heeding the summons, the Sea King in the distance swam toward the Shirahoshi. They circled around the Shirahoshi, forming a huge whirlpool.

This scene stunned everyone on Fish-Man Island. They couldn't believe their eyes; the Sea King, who were rarely seen, were now obeying Shirahoshi's call and gathering around her.

Shirahoshi stood atop the Sea King, her voice filled with power and confidence. She called out again, each syllable surging like a tidal wave, echoing throughout the entire ocean.

The Sea King began to move, some extending their enormous tentacles, others biting at the chains that linked the Ark!

They steadily lifted the giant ship Noah, which was about to plunge into Fish-Man Island. With their combined efforts, Noah slowly rose and gradually moved away from Fish-Man Island.

The residents of Fish-Man Island cheered when they saw this. They knew that it was their princess, Shirahoshi, who had saved their home.

Inside the cabin! Haku dragged Vander Decken's body out from one of Noah's many doors!

After throwing Vander Decken's body into a corner, Haku held a Devil Fruit she had never seen before and kept tossing it upwards.

To be honest, when Vander Decken was being beaten to a pulp by Hody Jones, Haku had a feeling that Vander Decken wouldn't last much longer!

Sure enough, just as Shirahoshi was getting into her best form, Vander Decken died prematurely, as expected!

The sudden, deafening crash of the Ark nearly affected the Shirahoshi above.

Fortunately, Haku had anticipated this and used all her Spiritual Power to slow Noah's descent!

It's a pity that if the entire Noah hadn't been submerged in seawater, Haku's Devil Fruit power wouldn't have been attached to him like Vander Decken's!

Otherwise, Haku could easily take control of the entire Noah with the power of the Float-Float Fruit!
