But then he thought about it. If treasures were that easy to find, would they still be called treasures?
Captain John raised his head and stared at Ares. "Ares, do you have any way to get through this group of sea tornadoes?!"
Under Ares's control, the ship had stopped moving for the moment, but this was clearly only a temporary measure.
The moving sea tornadoes rapidly approached the ship. The violent winds around them grew even fiercer. At their current speed, the sea tornadoes would appear before the ship in just a few minutes.
Ares's gaze sharpened. "I'll see if I can destroy the sea tornadoes."
"Dragon Flame!!!"
He opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth. The surrounding gale was sucked into his mouth, and a dazzling point of light suddenly appeared.
A surging, blazing shock wave erupted from Ares's mouth. It was an attack powerful enough to effortlessly melt away a mountain peak.
Scarlet flames pierced the sky.
In an instant, they tore a massive opening through the center of the enormous sea tornado, and the seawater was vaporized on the spot.
Seeing this,
the pirates on deck immediately cheered. But in the next second,
the whirling sea tornado drew seawater from the ocean and sent it surging into the heavens, once again forming a complete sea tornado that connected sea and sky.
Ochoku's face darkened. "Even an attack this powerful can't destroy the sea tornado?!"
"Ares, try aiming your attack at the vortex on the surface of the sea."
"Got it!" A second Dragon Flame condensed in Ares's mouth. He adjusted its direction and blasted it toward the point where the sea tornado met the surface of the ocean.
Boom!
The massive explosion sent seawater flying into the sky before it came pouring down like a torrential rainstorm.
