Twin Goddess

Five years later...

On the shore of the sea of clouds on Angel Island, a huge, dazzling sailing ship stood towering.

The ship was more than eight times the size of Luffy's Going Merry.

The entire hull blended fiery red, symbolizing flames, with pale blue, symbolizing thunder. Under the sunlight, it was dazzling and eye-catching.

A huge white skull was painted on the sail, with flames and thunder crossed behind it.

At the bow stood two golden angels, back to back, each with a pair of wings. Like twin goddesses, they pressed their hands together as if praying for something.

At that moment, three people stood on the deck.

Ye Mu, Enel, and Pagaya.

In six more days, it would be exactly ten years since Ye Mu had arrived in this world.

After ten years, Ye Mu had rapidly grown from the tiny child who had first arrived on Sky Island into a handsome young man nearly two and a half meters tall. He gave off a gentle air, had bright eyes, well-defined muscles, and a head of fiery red hair.

Enel was slightly shorter, but he was still over two meters tall. His hair was golden, his eyes carried endless contempt, and his entire body radiated an unruly, defiant air.

The two dressed in extremely similar styles. They wore loose balloon pants on their lower bodies, went barefoot, and had windbreakers draped over their upper bodies, barely concealing their impressive physiques.

The windbreakers had been specially tailored. After much consideration, Ye Mu had ultimately chosen the cloaks worn by the Akatsuki in Naruto, only shortening them and making them less concealing.

After all, they were pirates who yearned for freedom.

Although the Akatsuki cloaks had already been worn to death by transmigrators from previous generations, they really were cool.

Ye Mu had ordered many sets, enough for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

These would serve as the uniform of their pirate crew in the future.

Aside from that, Ye Mu did not interfere much with their other clothes and accessories.

After all, everyone had their own preferences. Ye Mu, for example, liked red-and-black combinations, while Enel preferred blue and yellow.

In addition, Ye Mu wore a long blade at his waist that gleamed with golden light, its patterns resembling a lion's mane. A huge ruby hung around his neck. Enel held a long, glittering golden staff in his hand, while blue earrings bearing three tomoe hung from his ears.

On the deck, Enel looked around like a child, unable to hold back his praise.

"It's beautiful!"

"Of course it's beautiful. I spent over eight years of effort creating it!"

The shipwright Pagaya was the one who spoke. He was now thirty years old. Unlike the young man he had been when they first met, he now had the appearance of a middle-aged man. His daughter, Conis, was five years old as well.

At that moment, he wore a simple, honest smile, but the light flashing in his eyes revealed his pride.

"For this ship, I combined the Dial technology of the entire Sky Island with the technology Ye Mu gave me."

"The main body of the hull and the keel were forged from a special alloy made of gold, iron, carbon, and the horny particles of pyrobroin. Its hardness and density far surpassed ordinary metals. There's no need to mention the ship's durability. However, that also makes the hull extremely heavy. Fortunately, I placed an entire layer of sea cloud at the very bottom of the ship to increase its buoyancy. Because of that, the bottom of the ship contains a huge amount of pyrobroin particles. The effect they emit, similar to Seastone, means the ship doesn't have to worry about attracting the attention of Sea Kings. Combined with the propulsion system at the front, it can even travel through the Calm Belt."

"For propulsion, I used a hybrid system combining Wind Dials, Flame Dials, and Impact Dials. By converting stored wind, flames, and lightning into kinetic energy, it can achieve high-speed travel and flight. At full power, it can reach a speed of 300 kilometers per hour on the sea and maintain it for an hour. In flight, it can reach 100 kilometers per hour at full power, but only for ten minutes. Once the energy is depleted, it needs half an hour to recharge and two hours to cool down."

"As for the inside, I followed your requirements. Aside from the storage room, two Sea Cloud Gravity Rooms, a workshop, and a kitchen, there are eleven rooms in total. Every room has a Tone Dial, Lamp Dial, Water Dial, and Visual Dial installed, ensuring both safety and entertainment."

"Finally, I installed five Wavers and three small boats inside the ship. I modified all their propulsion systems as well, giving them the same capabilities as this ship."

"Everything else consists of minor details. I've prepared an instruction manual. You can read it when you have time..."

Pagaya described all the technology installed on the ship like a proud collector showing off his treasures, leaving Ye Mu full of admiration.

The technology possessed by his ship now might not be unrivaled in the world of One Piece, but it was definitely among the very best.

With this ship, he could face the next stage of his journey through the Grand Line with far greater confidence and recklessness.

Pagaya really was a genius. Although he could not compare with a terrifying man like Vegapunk, he was unquestionably an extremely capable practical talent.

If Ye Mu had not been reluctant to disturb Pagaya's harmonious, happy family, he truly would have felt the urge to take him away.

Still, staying on Sky Island was not bad.

After all, Ye Mu had long since decided to turn Sky Island into his future logistics base.

"By the way, have you decided on the ship's name?"

Pagaya suddenly asked.

"Mm."

Ye Mu nodded. He had already had an idea for the ship's name.

"Twin Goddess."

Ye Mu had thought of this name back when the ship was being built. After all, every pirate ship in One Piece had its own unique characteristics, the most obvious being the emblem at its bow.

Naturally, Ye Mu would be no exception.

At first, he had planned to simply make a golden skull-shaped pirate flag and call it a day. However, Enel and Pagaya had firmly rejected the idea.

Both of them felt that such a tacky figurehead was unworthy of the ship.

Just when Ye Mu had no idea what to use, he saw Pagaya's daughter, Conis.

She was still young, but she looked like a little angel.

Ye Mu liked the little girl very much, and inspiration struck him.

On top of that, Ye Mu remembered a manga called Claymore that he had loved back on Earth.

And so, the ship's figurehead took on its current form.

Ye Mu, Enel, and Pagaya all loved the new design.

Ye Mu treated it as the last tiny memento of another world. Enel felt that its luxurious, sacred design suited his identity as a god, while Pagaya needed no explanation—it had been inspired by his daughter.

"That's a lovely name. So, who's going to write it down?"

"I will. This sort of thing should be done by the captain."

Ye Mu accepted the paint Pagaya handed him without hesitation, flew onto the ship, and boldly wrote down the name.

Then he raised his head and looked at the pirate ship that would belong to him from then on. An indescribable, strange feeling welled up inside him. Unable to stop himself, he bowed toward the ship and said,

"From now on, we'll be fighting together in the Grand Line and the New World. Please take care of me!"

Seeing Ye Mu make such a strange gesture, Enel laughed loudly.

"I'm telling you, Ye Mu, this ship can't understand what you're saying."

Pagaya, however, happily watched Ye Mu's passionate affection for his ship.

After all, he was the one who had built it.

By then, Ye Mu had already flown back to the deck. He took a deep breath, and his entire presence changed as he spoke.

"From now on, it's the era of our Sky Pirate Crew..."

"Grand Line, here we come..."
