Chapter 695

Suddenly, the sea ahead of the ship bulged, and the current caused the ship to roll backward. Soon, a Sea King that looked like a frog appeared in front of the group. Its huge eyes moved slightly before finally fixing on Chen Fan's ship. The commotion also alerted the Sea King that had just devoured the pirate ships, and they all swam towards them.

Nami and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of fear on their faces. If Chen Fan were awake, things would be much easier, but Chen Fan was still unconscious, and it seemed that Lady Luck wasn't on their side.

Robin smiled, shook her head, and sighed, "Is this the end? Sailing the high seas is so dangerous; countless forced choices lead to death. Countless people have already perished on this Grand Line." But she was unwilling to accept it. She hadn't found any Poneglyph, hadn't uncovered the true history; she was unwilling to give up.

This enormous Sea King, resembling a frog, slowly opened its massive mouth, its tongue clenching together. Given the habits of frogs, one can imagine the consequences of that iron-whip-like tongue striking the ship's hull—it would surely pulverize the entire vessel and its inhabitants in an instant.

Suddenly, "Boom...!" The seawater on the ocean began to churn.

An even larger figure appeared, lunging directly at the frog-like Sea King from the side. At close range, Nami looked as if a small mountain swept past them, swallowing the frog-like Sea King whole before it sank into the sea.

The waves were rolling and surging, and the ship was rocking violently. Nami and the others screamed and grabbed the railing, managing not to fall into the sea.

"What's going on! What happened?!" They only saw a huge black shadow and couldn't make out what it was. It should be a Sea King, right? Did Sea King fight? Could it be...?

"Have no idea...!"

Just as they were saying this, the previously calm sea surface swelled up again, as if something was about to emerge. "Splash...!" Seawater cascaded down from the newly appeared Sea King, whose enormous figure seemed even larger than a small mountain.

But upon seeing the newly appeared monster, Vivi and Robin's expressions turned even more grim, while Nami and Tashigi exclaimed in delight, "Little One!!!"

The newly appeared Sea King was none other than Chen Fan's Sea King pet, Little One. Although its body had become enormous, its appearance had not changed much, and Nami and Tashigi recognized it at a glance.

(Chapter 194 Reencounter with Little One)

Robin pondered for a moment, then nodded. This was the only way now. If they had had a chance at the beginning, they could have made some preparations, but time was so tight that they had no opportunity at all and were constantly being chased.

Vivi and Tashigi thought about it and realized that this was the only way. If they were lucky, they might be able to leave the Calm Belt alive; if not, they would have to leave it to fate. In any case, they absolutely could not die at the hands of these despicable pirates. Even if they died, they would take them down with them.

"Hahaha...! My little beauties! We saw it! That man fainted. After that attack, he's probably almost dead. What are you all still guarding him for? Killing him would be worth a whopping 500 million Beli! Then we could all eat, drink, and have fun, getting whatever we wanted. Why bother with him? The most important thing in life is to live happily, don't you all agree?!"

"Yes!!!" a group of pirates shouted.

"Hahahaha!" All the pirates behind burst into laughter, some even pulling out their genitals and beginning to grope themselves.

Tashigi and the others hated these bastards so much they wanted to kill them. They drew their Shigure, seemingly ready to rush over and chop all the pirates down at any moment. "Pirates are all so despicable and shameless!"

Robin stopped Tashigi, saying, "Don't be impulsive! This is fine, that way they won't think things through and will follow us into the Calm Belt."

Tashigi snorted and sheathed her sword.

Suddenly, the ship entered an area with no currents and no wind—the very seas that enveloped the Grand Line, the Calm Belt.

"Six Petal Flower Bloom!"

Robin crossed his arms in front of his chest and spoke. Arms appeared on the outside of the boat, each holding an oar. He gently rowed, and the boat moved forward silently. Any excessive noise here could attract the attack of the Sea King.

The dozen or so pirate ships that followed suddenly entered the Calm Belt;

As soon as they entered, the pirates' expressions changed. Everyone knew the Daimyo of the Calm Belt, and they all fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

One of the somewhat dim-witted pirate crew members shouted, "Oh no! Captain! Our ship has entered the Calm Belt! This is the lair of the Sea King!"

"Bang...!" The captain slapped the pirate onto the deck. "Of course I know this is Calm Belt! Do you need to tell me? You're the captain, I'm the captain! Quick! Everyone lower the sails and row backward with all your might! These ruthless women, they want to take us all down with them! Full speed ahead, escape the calm..."

"Boom! Boom...!..."
