The Sea Is Full of Water

The waves crashed against the sails, and all that met the eye was an endless expanse of water!

A day had passed since the merchant ship left Goat Island. Early in the morning, Chaos left his cabin and came up to the deck. Taking a deep breath of the sea breeze, he couldn't help but recall a poem.

"Ah! The sea is all water."

On the vast, uncharted sea, the merchant ship was like a tiny boat.

In a day, they hadn't encountered any pirate ships or other vessels, which dampened Chaos's initial desire to witness pirates.

This was different from watching anime.

After blowing in the sea breeze on the deck for a while, Chaos found it difficult to cultivate, so he returned to his humble abode.

There were some forms of entertainment on the merchant ship, such as gambling!

Chaos wasn't interested in these. It was worth mentioning that he could sense a lot of gold, indicating the merchant ship was quite wealthy.

Back in his cramped living space, Chaos began doing push-ups and other exercises. Perhaps it was a habit, but Chaos felt restless if he didn't train for a day.

This habit was very well-developed.

After training until noon, Chaos picked out a gold piece the size of a rice grain and exchanged it for some food in the kitchen.

Then he returned to his abode to lie down and prepare for a nap!

He would continue training after waking up.

But it was during this nap that trouble struck!

Drowsily, Chaos felt as if he were in a cradle, with someone whispering in his ear, much like when he was lulled to sleep as a child.

For some reason, he suddenly flew out of the cradle and hit the ground, feeling a jolt of panic. Opening his eyes, he found the entire merchant ship shaking violently.

He could vaguely hear the sounds of cannon fire and shouts of battle from outside.

Peeking out of the basin-sized window, he saw a huge pirate ship next to them, flying a skull flag. He could see many pirates with blood on their blades, fierce and menacing, wielding firearms or swords.

"Fire!"

"Don't let them escape."

"Such a large merchant ship must have abundant supplies and money."

"Whoosh."

Cannonballs were fired from the pirate ship, and the merchant ship retaliated.

The two sides exchanged a fiery greeting right from the start.

"What a big surprise!"

Chaos's expression changed as a cannonball flew towards him, but he wasn't flustered!

He knew, with a glance, that he would be fine even if hit by cannon fire.

But he still had to dodge!

He quickly opened the door and closed it, his movements fluid and seamless.

"Rumble~"

A blast of fire and immense force struck from behind him. Chaos braced the cabin door with one hand, watching the panicked people in the corridor, his calm demeanor seeming out of place.

"Run!"

"Pirates are here."

"Will we be okay?"

"This merchant ship has many guards!"

"Damn it, my cargo!"

"That's all my property."

"Help!"

The myriad aspects of life unfolded. Chaos decided to head to the deck to take a look.

Passing by some rooms, they were all blown apart by cannonballs and burning. He could see the turbulent sea just outside, and many unfortunate souls were blown to pieces, their internal organs and severed limbs splattered on the walls. The blood dripped, carrying the smell of gore and burning, which made Chaos frown slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

It was the first time he had seen such gruesome human remains up close.

His tolerance was quite good; he didn't feel nauseous or vomit.

Arriving at the first floor of the cabin, many guards were rushing back and forth in the corridor, armed with either firearms or long swords. Even some guests were among them, all looking tough.

Now that everyone's lives were at stake, anyone involved in the underworld would carry a weapon, which would provide a sense of security.

There were also some people who were so terrified they could only run around screaming. Among them, one scene made Chaos slightly taken aback.

It was a large woman, at least 300 pounds, wearing a chef's uniform, presumably the cook. She was now running outside with a three-foot-long boning knife, her face fierce. She was like a human tank.

Anyone who didn't know would think she was going to slaughter a pig.

It was quite impactful!

"Don't come out and cause trouble, all of you get back inside."

"Don't block the way, we'll protect your safety."

"On the honor of my guards, everyone stay put!"

The entire corridor was hot, with two or three guards in armor shouting loudly at everyone.

Unfortunately, panic had spread, and many had lost their composure.

Outside, the once calm sea had become completely turbulent. Pirate ships and merchant ships were very close, and some fierce pirates and guards were already fighting on the two ships.

Both the pirate ship and the merchant ship were shaking violently. Seawater churned by explosions washed onto the deck, turning it blood red.

Many pirates and guards lay on the deck, groaning or already dead.

Severed limbs and shocking wounds, just looking at them was enough to make one sick.

Unpredictable bullets flew everywhere, and the cabin walls were riddled with holes.

"Haha! Kill these damn guards."

"Brothers, find some women, it's been too long."

"We finally found a merchant ship, we can't let it escape."

"We are the Poison Fang Pirates. If you stop resisting, we might spare your lives."

"Our captain is Poison Fang, with a bounty of 8.7 million Berries. He roams the Grand Line, and even the Marines give him face."

"Open fire~"

"Help me, I've been shot."

"Die!"

Chaos emerged from the cabin and looked at the chaotic deck. Pirates were laughing wildly, while others were screaming and wailing. The scene was as bloody as a battlefield, where death could come at any moment.

"Whoosh"

A bullet grazed past, creating a hole in the wall.

Chaos's eyelids twitched, and his heartbeat quickened slightly.

The merchant ship couldn't sink; he still needed to use it to get to Water Seven or Sabaody Archipelago.

Directly ahead, a guard wielding a long saber was fighting a pirate. Perhaps due to his smaller size, he was clearly no match for the pirate.

In just a moment, his arm was severed, and he lay on the ground screaming.

Chaos's fingers moved slightly. A piece of his Golden Inner Armor split off, quickly transforming into a nail. With a whistling sound, like a tiny bolt of lightning, it pierced through the pirate's back of the head.

Without any resistance, the pirate dropped his saber with a bang onto the ground. Blood and brain matter mixed on his forehead, his body twitched a few times, and he quickly stopped breathing.

Chaos felt nothing significant from easily killing a pirate.

It seemed no different from crushing a chicken.

The guard, who thought he was going to die, stared blankly with a pale face, clutching his severed arm. He scrambled away, finding cover and hiding, drenched in sweat.

Death, everyone feared it.

Chaos stood at the cabin door, four golden nails appearing in his hand again. Under Chaos's covert control, he reaped lives like the god of death.

This was equivalent to sniping, faster than bullets, and impossible to dodge.

Especially in such chaos.

Wherever the five golden nails went, pirates fell like wheat being harvested. Some strong pirates sensed the danger and instinctively rolled or grabbed shields, thinking they could evade.

But the key was that these golden nails could curve under Chaos's control. With screams, many realized something was wrong.

"Damn it, there's a strong person on this ship."

"Defend!"

"Notify the captain."

Leaving a trail of corpses, the remaining pirates and guards pulled back, slowly forming a defensive line and staring intently at all the guards. However, both sides continued to snipe.

The atmosphere became tense. The deck, soaked in blood, was strewn with minced flesh and internal organs, a gruesome and bloody sight!!
