Although "Big Head" was essentially an extremely heavy boulder, it could float on its own, and Homies were not afraid of seawater. It could easily travel submerged alongside the ship and help salvage anyone who fell overboard when necessary.
And because its soul came from Mousse—this was the main factor; when intimidating lower life-forms, the quality of a soul mattered far more than its quantity—and the portion split off had been enormous, it was even more effective at frightening Sea Kings than the BIG Pirates' flagship, the Homie ship Queen Mama Chanter, which Charlotte Linlin had made by splitting off her own soul.
And so the problem was resolved. Perospero's former vessel had only been an ordinary armed merchant ship to begin with. After reclaiming the soul and factoring in depreciation, it was probably worth only two or three hundred million Berries. Abandoning it would not hurt too much~
Its speed was still somewhat slow, though. It had not become any faster just because it was no longer a Homie, but fortunately, it was not slow enough to delay anything important.
Even so, time was somewhat tight. It took the mother and her three sons a full six days by ship to reach the waters outside Marine Branch G1's harbor. By then, the prepared visual Den Den Mushi had already received the signal and begun broadcasting.
But even before the broadcast began, Mousse had his mother start "warming up" in preparation for unleashing King's Fist later. Even after a thorough warm-up, Charlotte Linlin needed at least two hours to throw the most powerful Eight Apples!
