From above, a Bai line raced across the blue sea like a blade cutting through a sheet of blue paper.
"What the hell is that Ghost thing?"
At the Port, the captain who had been about to order the guns fired stood frozen, his mouth twitching.
The Marine officer running toward them also stared speechlessly at the red shrimp hurtling across the water.
And at Loa surfing behind it.
"Yahoo!"
Standing on a surfboard he had made himself, Loa gripped Ocean Shrimp's two astonishingly long antennae and played in the waves.
He had never even dared imagine doing this before!
Back when Loa was a standard-issue office-worker shut-in, his physical fitness needed little explanation.
In a word: feeble!
In two words: total weakling!
Surfing had existed only in his imagination. He had rarely even gone to the beach.
The reason was simple. He was a shut-in without a muscular body to show off, so going to Sandy Beach was embarrassing! And because of his baby face, beach staff had warned him more than once to be careful and stay out of deep water.
Your little buddy is five-foot-seven, you jerks!
But everything had changed when he came to the One Piece World.
The tremendous boost from Dragon Body had made him more agile than a superhero.
Now he could do more than simply keep his balance on a surfboard. He could even pull off tricks.
Like a seventy-degree spinning windmill.
Loa was having the time of his life. Ocean Shrimp, his first means of transportation, was not.
After all...
What kind of master spent all day yanking on your antennae?
That hurt, you know!
He spun and leaped! He even closed his eyes!
Don't I get any dignity?
But no matter how aggrieved Ocean Shrimp felt, it could do nothing
