Ark: The Ark and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit

Teach had already spotted the location of the Ark's "Ark Maxim," and the closer he got, the clearer his senses became.

Finally, the entire "Ark Maxim" of the Ark were revealed to them.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and a hissing sound could be clearly heard.

This behemoth, the Ark "Ark Maxim," was supposed to be a large spaceship in their minds, but they never expected it to be this big.

It truly lives up to its name as the Ark, a massive ship a kilometer long. And looking up from here, the height is estimated to be two hundred meters. Only when standing in front of such a ship can one truly appreciate their insignificance.

This ark looked similar to the ark Teach remembered, but it was dozens of times larger.

After all, Enel was going alone, with maybe a few subordinates at most. But judging from this ark, it seems that Birka intends to take all of Birka's people back to the moon, which is why the ark is so large.

The arks come in various sizes and can be scaled down proportionally to meet specific needs.

Noah's Ark was much larger, about half the size of Fish-Man Island, and could have brought all the Fish-Man Island's inhabitants to the surface. That was the significance of the ark. However, for some unknown reason, it failed and sank to the side of Fish-Man Island.

However, this is probably not the ark "Noah" mentioned by the Sky Island God. The real Noah should have been destroyed in the thousands of years of history. This should be the one that Joy Boy obtained the blueprints for Noah and built later.

After all, arks are not necessarily the same. Since the "Ark Maxim" have blueprints for construction, the "Noah" must have them too.

This suggests that there was likely an energy reactor on Noah's Ark. After all, given its massive size and the immense pressure of the deep sea, it would have been impossible for it to reach the surface from a depth of tens of thousands of meters without sufficient power.

This is true even if there is a coating layer.

However, this is just speculation. Aquaman, who has the ability to control Sea King, could certainly control Sea King to send Noah's Ark to the surface of the sea.

In this way, without the core technology, Noah's Ark on Fish-Man Island has little to do with Noah's Ark on Sky Island.

At the same time, Teach didn't dare to attack Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark, located near Fish-Man Island, was surrounded and guarded by countless colossal Sea King. These Giant Sea Kings in the deep sea were far more terrifying than other top-tier powerhouses in the world.

Teach dared not provoke them so easily.

This ark is undoubtedly a tremendous treasure and of great importance.

At this moment, on the Birka Birka, a figure was running around the town.

This person is Enel. His test was very simple: running. But running, though simple, is also the most challenging test.

There are no set standards for this running test.

"Go run, run around the whole town, keep running, let us see where your limits really are." Wallace left Enel with just these words and told him to go on his own.

The word "limit" is used very aptly. Running often reveals a person's limits, their willpower, and how long they can persevere. At the same time, it also tests a person's physical strength and stamina.

Many crew members on the ship were curious about Enel and were also watching him closely.

Running is also a skill, a science.

Enel has been running for a full hour now. His stamina is rapidly depleting, and his breathing is erratic. It's clear that he has never trained in this before.

This is also fundamental. Enel's foundation is somewhat weak. He usually trains and fights alone, and he is self-taught.

Enel was drenched in sweat, the sun beating down on him, his back hunched, panting heavily.

"Nelson, go and give him some pointers." Wallace could glean a lot from Enel's running patterns.

However, all the members watching Enel run could see that he wouldn't be able to keep going for long before Enel. His body would be the first to give way, and it wouldn't be a matter of willpower. This was not what they wanted to see, and it would defeat the purpose of the test.

"Hehe, then leave it to me." Nelson was also somewhat interested in this job. Anyway, he was bored, so he might as well give Enel some pointers.

Enel was running with great difficulty, feeling his body getting heavier and heavier, and his abdomen bearing too much pressure. He couldn't say it hurt, but he was in great discomfort.

He felt that every breath he took was incredibly difficult and labored. He had never imagined that running could be so tiring.

"You can't run like that!" A voice chuckled from the side. Enel's brain buzzed, and the voice became exceptionally clear at that moment.

He turned his head slightly and saw a somewhat blurry figure, after all, his head was spinning.

However, he bit his tongue slightly to clear his head in an instant, and when he saw Nelson's appearance, he recognized Nelson.

He had a good memory and remembered that Nelson was a member of the Night Pirates, but what was he doing here? That puzzled him.

Also, when did Nelson arrive? He didn't find a single trace of him.

Enel astutely noticed the problem, but he had no time to think about it further.

Enel, panting, didn't say anything and continued running forward; he was too exhausted to speak.

"Adjust your breathing and maintain a rhythm. Without a rhythm, you'll just be wasting your energy." Nelson's calm voice rang in Enel's ears.

He didn't tell Enel how to breathe. There's no fixed way; everyone has their own most suitable breathing rhythm, which Enel needs to find and explore for himself.

Nelson's guidance to Enel was merely to give Enel direction.

Enel was taken aback at first by Nelson's words, but then he realized that Nelson was giving him pointers.

He was clever; he began to adjust his breathing, and his erratic breathing began to become rhythmic. Needless to say, it really made him feel much more relaxed. Moreover, his breathing was constantly being adjusted, gradually becoming the most suitable and comfortable way for him to breathe.

"Straighten your back, don't hunch over, lift your head, and look straight ahead."

With Nelson's guidance, Enel's condition improved significantly. His ability to adjust so quickly and find the most suitable running rhythm for himself prompted Wallace and the others watching from a distance to nod in approval. This showed that Enel's aptitude was not lacking.

However, this is just the beginning. The real difficulties are yet to come. Without sufficient performance, he will not be able to gain the recognition of the members of the Night Pirates, even though he is the one Teach has his eye on.

It's important to know that there were quite a few people in the pirate crew who were jealous of Enel. Those who were personally invited by Teach, whether it was Lafitte or Slada, all received top-tier Devil Fruit, rare Ancient Species.

Although it wasn't said, they guessed that their captain had brought out these powerful Devil Fruit.

A powerful ability can often greatly increase a person's potential, which is why Devil Fruit are becoming increasingly rare and valuable in this era.

Devil Fruit, which used to be piled up everywhere, have become scarce, with ordinary Zoan Devil Fruit fetching prices of two to three hundred million at auctions.

Back in Birka's Divine Kingdom, a small Sky Island, "Put all these books away. We'll have someone study them later." Looking at the books in front of him, which resembled a library—nearly a thousand books in total, arranged on shelves—it was like a small library.

Teach found the dwelling place of the previous gods of Birka, and inside, he found these precious books that had been passed down for thousands of years.

I plan to have someone study the knowledge, history, and technology from the moon in detail when I have time.

Rediat was also very interested. He nodded, and a black shadow appeared beneath his feet, absorbing the bookshelves filled with books and sinking into the shadow.

In this way, the journey to the Divine Kingdom is over, and the Ark "Ark Maxim" must remain in the Divine Kingdom. Without power, the Ark "Ark Maxim" are useless.

Immediately afterwards, Teach went to search for Devil Fruit, specifically the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which is considered the strongest Devil Fruit.

Even if you don't eat it, you must keep it in your own hands. This near-perfect ability, if fully developed, can create a hegemon who is at least Admiral.

This is the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; it possesses the speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit, and its movement is even more agile.

Possessing attack power comparable to the Magma-Magma Fruit, lightning is an extremely terrifying force in any world.

Lightning tempers the body, continuously strengthening it.

Destruction contains life, and also a considerable restorative effect.

Electricity and heat, as well as electromagnetism, are both very powerful abilities.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is only known as the strongest Paramecia Devil Fruit in the World's Strongest, while the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is considered one of the strongest Devil Fruit.

This "one of" can be removed at any time.

Over the years, there have been several rankings of Devil Fruit. Recently, the World Economic News ranked the known Devil Fruit in the world, only listing the famous and powerful ones.

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ranks first, followed by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the Dark-Dark Fruit also ranks highly.

Needless to say, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, in Whitebeard's hands, possessed the power to destroy the world. Its immense destructive power cemented Whitebeard's reputation World's Strongest.

It's worth noting that the Rumble- Rumble-Rumble Fruit disappeared from the seas for hundreds of years, yet it still ranks high on various lists.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit would soon be in his hands. Although he hadn't seen it yet, Teach was convinced of it. Before setting off, he had specifically asked Baccarat to use her power.

While Baccarat's luck cannot Teach, she can increase her own luck and consume it to gain abilities similar to wish fulfillment. Although it's not 100% guaranteed, it does have a certain direction.

At the same time, Baccarat also used her luck to predict Teach's gains on this trip, and she had more than 90% good luck.

His heart was pounding wildly at that moment, a feeling that seemed to come out of nowhere, giving him a premonition that he would encounter something on this voyage.

His Mastered Observation Haki gave him unwavering confidence in his judgment.

He didn't tell anyone his true purpose for this trip; otherwise, how could he explain knowing that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit had disappeared hundreds of years ago, was in the place he was looking for?

He only mentioned sensing a ship on the White Sea before leaving.

Teach squinted, letting the sea breeze blow freely. Using gravity, his body flew through the air at full speed, and the Birka Island behind him grew smaller and smaller.

His heart was racing, his blood felt like it was about to boil, and Teach's premonition grew stronger.

Because the goal is very clear, I feel that the goal is getting closer and closer.

Far from Birka Island, the Cloud Beast in the White Sea grew increasingly enormous, their size comparable to the Sea King beneath the Blue Sea. However, they posed no threat to Teach, who didn't even bother with them.

Sensing Teach's presence, it emerged from the sea of clouds, but Teach was incredibly fast, flashing across the surface of the sea and cutting through the wind.

He flew at a height of only a little over a meter above the White Sea, practically skimming the surface.

Teach had anticipated these attacks from the Cloud Beast, and he skillfully dodged them, quickly leaving behind their helpless roars.

Finally, he arrived. A huge Towering Ship appeared a thousand meters away in the sea ahead of him.

This ship was enormous, with several layers stacked on top of each other, and hundreds of meters long from front to back. It was larger than any ship Nightfall had ever seen.

Such a giant ship represents superb shipbuilding technology, and the style of this Towering Ship is very rare on the sea, even more advanced.

The suddenly appearing Towering Ship was already very dilapidated, filled with a smell of decay, marked by the mottled traces of time, and covered with green moss.

The place was completely silent, like a ghost ship.

Teach couldn't wait to descend from the sky, landing on the deck of the Towering Ship dozens of meters high. He pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and quickly entered the cabin.

As expected, the interior space of the ship was enormous, capable of accommodating thousands of people, just like the cruise ships of my previous life.

You can also see many recreational facilities and tools.

The door opened, letting in light, and the sight of countless skeletons lying haphazardly on the ground made it impossible to find a place to stand.

The clothes and exquisite jewelry that had not yet turned to ash showed that these dead people were either rich or noble in life.

These bodies included those killed and those starved to death; some were even missing limbs and showed signs of being eaten.

From these observations, it can be seen that the Towering Ship encountered Sky-Rending Current during its voyage, resulting in impact cracks on its hull. However, due to the ship's good quality, it successfully reached the Sky Island.

Ultimately, the food shortage and despair led to a host of problems, including the distortion of human nature and the decline of morality.

Such a thing is to be expected, but in the end, none of them will survive; they will all die on this vast White Sea.

But Teach didn't bother with it. His Observation Haki had already located the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. A short while later, he found a blue fruit with Inazuma patterns on it in a hidden compartment.

Teach took the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in his hand, examining the Devil Fruit before him, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

A dark vortex appeared in his palm, and a steel box appeared in his hand, which he grasped. He had made many of these steel boxes to preserve the Devil Fruit.

Furthermore, he was not hiding in a vacuum region, but rather in a chaotic, Darkness Space possessing infinite crushing and compressing power and containing boundless dark power.

And they are distributed in various regions, places only he knows about.

Because he couldn't guarantee that no one could enter the Darkness Space while he was using his abilities, although the chances were slim.
