Seaquake

Once the bubbles began to peel away, seawater rushed in at an incredible speed.

Especially since Baroba's pirate ship was enormous, not much smaller than a Marine warship. From afar, it looked like a small mountain, and seawater poured into it from above with the exaggerated force of a tsunami.

The pirate grunts around them had no time to react before they were swept into the water.

It had to be said that the coatings of both the Sabaody Archipelago and Fish-Man Island were absurdly effective at keeping out seawater. Combined with the bubbles' miraculous elasticity, even outstretched arms and legs seemed to be covered in a diving suit, protected by the coating.
