Chapter 104

Hawkins played with the cards, his voice low and menacing. "Now that we've discovered it, no matter how fast it is, it can't compare to the Captain."

Gin Cultivation his Haki when he coldly remarked, "Van-Oka made it sound so mysterious. I'm going to see what this ship is all about later."

"This time, your fate was already sealed. After all, the Captain is truly too strong."

Van-Oka gazed at the horizon and saw the black ship he had seen many years ago, speaking calmly.

Inside the Training Room.

"They're here! We finally found them!"

Honey Queen's beautiful eyes lit up, and her stunningly fair face was filled with surprise and joy. She was so happy.

Belo Betty took a drag of her cigarette and said calmly as always, "Finally, we can reveal the truth. We'll take a good look at it later."

Carina nodded, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and said with a sweet and lovely smile, "Everyone's so curious, they're all itching to know, hehe~~"

"I've been very curious about this ever since you mentioned it before."

Carmen looked at them, a charming smile spreading across her exquisitely beautiful face, and said with a grin, "I didn't expect to encounter this so soon after arriving here."

"Looks like I can bring good luck to everyone too."

Makino smoothed her deep green hair, blinked her big eyes, and smiled gently, "All of this is thanks to Sister Baccarat."

"Without her, I wouldn't have encountered such interesting things."

Kaya nodded her little head emphatically, her delicate eyebrows curving into a sweet and innocent smile, and said, "Yes, going out to sea is so much fun, much better than staying at home!"

"Before, I stayed at home and just read books every day. It was so boring."

"Now I can not only see the sparkling blue sea, but also hear the cries of Seagull, and so much more! I really love it!"

At this moment, Chris stopped his Cultivation, remaining calm, and uttered two words, "Let's go."

After spending so many days together, Nojiko had come to know Chris's character and wasn't so afraid of him anymore.

Nojiko knew very well that Chris just didn't like to talk and seemed a bit cold. But he was a nice person, always willing to answer questions, and not difficult to talk to.

"Chris, did you use your Observation Haki to sense them?"

Nojiko looked at Chris, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked curiously, "What's the situation with that ship?"

The women followed Chris in silence, all looking at him with expectant expressions on their pretty faces.

"No."

Chris was always a man of few words, never uttering a word of nonsense, and simply said these two words.

Carmen shrugged and smiled slightly, saying, "It doesn't matter. Since we've found it, it's not going to escape anyway."

Mei Di arched her eyebrows, smoothed her light blonde hair, and said gracefully, "As long as Chris steps in, there's nothing he can't handle. At least, that's what I believe."

"Lord Chris is really strong! He's the most powerful person I've ever met!"

Kaya looked at the man's back in front of her, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration and respect.

Makino smiled and nodded, saying, "Such a young person, yet so powerful; this is indeed the first time I've seen such strength."

On deck.

Van Augur habitually tapped his shoulder with his gun, his face expressionless. "That ship has spotted us and is starting to accelerate, trying to escape."

"Don't worry, even if it runs to the ends of the earth, it won't escape the Captain's pursuit."

Lafitte twirled his cane and said politely, "The Captain said that no one in the world can match his speed."

"Even Admiral Borsalino's Flash cannot match the Captain's speed."

"After all, spatial travel has absolutely no concept of distance."

Kuro glanced at Van Oka, adjusted his glasses, and said rationally, "Your observation skills are far superior to the Lookout's."

"So far, the Lookout have not detected anything unusual."

Burgess burst into laughter and shouted, "How can you compare? He's a sharpshooter. If his eyesight wasn't good, wouldn't that be a joke?"

Just then, footsteps approached, and Chris and the others walked over.

Just then, an alarm sounded from the Lookout.

"Report..."

"That Mysterious Ship is speeding up; it must have spotted us! That ship..."

Burgess, the most outspoken of them all, looked up at the Lookout, roared, and began to curse.

"Can't you see the Captain is coming? What's with all the reporting? Can't you be a little more noticeable?"

An apologetic voice came from the Lookout, stammering, "Yes, yes, Captain Burgess, you're right..."

Honey Queen rolled her eyes at Burgess and retorted irritably, "Stop scaring people like that, okay? Look how terrified the Lookout is."

"The key is that he has a loud voice; he's the loudest voice on the ship."

Belo Betty took a drag of her cigarette and spoke softly.

Suddenly, with a whoosh, Chris vanished from the spot without saying a word.

Carina shrugged, somewhat speechless, and said, "Our Captain is too opinionated. He never explains anything and just leaves whenever he wants."

Perona soared through the air, grinning, "Doesn't this look cool? It makes you seem so mysterious."

"It's like he always wears black clothes; he's domineering and mysterious."

Makino smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards, and said, "`This is a common trait among all strong individuals; they are all extraordinary."

Nami looked at the horizon ahead and said with a pure smile, "Yes, that's why the Navy gave him the nickname 'Black- Chris'!"

Above the sea level in front.

Chris looked down at the Mysterious Ship; it was indeed empty and unmanned.

The ship was entirely black, with a bow that resembled a whale's head, revealing many sharp teeth.

The whole ship looked so eerie and mysterious.

It truly lives up to its title Mysterious Ship!!

Where are you going?

"Could you give me a ride, you whale who ate the Ship-Ship Fruit?"

Chris suddenly appeared on the deck, crossed his arms, looked down slightly at the ship, and calmly said something.

Shock.

I was utterly shocked.

There was never anyone on that ship.

This is truly the first time.

The whale was startled and, without saying a word, rolled violently, causing the ship to rock violently, trying to throw the person off.

Suddenly, towering waves surged on the sea, white spray spreading far and wide.

This demonstrates just how powerful this ship is.

Van Augur, watching from afar, saw this scene. His usually serious face showed a rare look of surprise as he exclaimed incredulously, "It really is the Mysterious Ship!"

"It rolled over with tremendous force, like an enraged beast."

Burgess looked ahead, but it was too far away to see anything. He quickly turned to Van Oka and asked a question.

"So, how's that ship?"

Luo, carrying the Demonic Sword Kikoku, said coldly, "Without Telescope, we can't see what's ahead at all. What a pity."

Lafitte twirled his cane and said in a gentlemanly manner, "The process isn't important; what we care about is the result."

The women remained silent, watching Van Auger, waiting for his answer.

There was no way around it; they really hated this man.

I don't want to talk to him at all; I'd rather stay quiet...

(Hey everyone, the picture above is of Carmen. She's a minor character, but she's still an anime character, so you should know her. I won't go into too much detail here; you can Google it if you don't understand. Finally, the Mysterious Ship has been revealed! Nobody guessed it right, everyone was just a little bit off (￣￣).)

Chapter 104

"The Captain is already on that ship."

Van Augur tapped his shoulder with his gun as usual, and said expressionlessly, "But that ship seems to be alive, resisting the Captain."

"It shook violently, like a large fish thrashing about, trying to throw the Captain off."

Upon hearing his words, everyone looked ahead. Although the distance had narrowed, they still couldn't see the situation clearly.

It was only vaguely visible; a black shadow could be seen, nothing else.

"Damn it, I'm going to get a Telescope someday, damn it!"

Burgess, with his quick temper, got so angry that he started cursing loudly.

Kuro adjusted his glasses, a glint of intelligence in his eyes, and analyzed, "It seems to be alive; it must have eaten Devil Fruit."

Lafitte held his cane upright in front of him, smiled gently, and said, "No need to guess anymore, you'll know the answer soon enough."

On the Whale Ship.

As the strange ship churned and thrashed about, Chris stood still, as if rooted to the deck.

Let them bombard me relentlessly, I will remain unmoved!!

"Submit to me!"

Chris's eyes sharpened, and he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, sending ripples outwards.

With a loud bang, the hull of the ship was cracked, leaving numerous marks.

The whale stopped rolling and remained motionless.

Cold sweat dripped from its enormous head, revealing a look of terror.

It seems like something terrifying has happened!!

Suddenly, the ship began to rock violently, as if nodding in submission.

Chris wasn't surprised by this outcome. He stood quietly with his arms still crossed in front of him, waiting for their arrival.

Seeing this, Van Auger nodded slightly, a rare faint smile appearing on his usually serious face.

" With the Captain's intervention, there was absolutely nothing it could do."

"This is fate~~"

This time, no one asked him anything, because the distance had been reduced, and they could see the situation above clearly.

Makino blinked her bright, beautiful eyes, a look of curiosity on her exquisitely fair face, and murmured, "This is the Mysterious Ship, but why does it look like a whale?"

Kaya nodded, hummed in agreement, and said with a grin, her pretty face full of interest, "What a strange ship! It's really mysterious."

"This should definitely be a whale."

Reiju stroked her delicate chin, standing gracefully, and said gently, "If I'm not mistaken, it ate Devil Fruit, which is why it turned into a ship."

Carina's beautiful eyes darted around, revealing a sly glint, and she said with a smile, "What kind of Devil Fruit is this? It's so amazing!"

Perona floated over to Baccarat's side, her little face showing curiosity, and hurriedly asked a question.

"Sister Baccarat, do you remember what kind of Devil Fruit this is?"

Honey Queen looked at Baccarat as well, her eyebrows curving as she said, "Big Sister Baccarat, you often look through the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, so you must know."

Baccarat smoothed her Deep Red hair and smiled gently, saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Paramecia — the Ship-Ship Fruit."

Carmen looked at them, frowned her pretty eyebrows, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"There's a question. Aren't Devil Fruit User afraid of seawater?"

"They will be cursed by the sea, unable to appear at sea at all, and will be killed by the sea."

"So how can this whale, oh, this ship, sail on the open sea? It seems very strange."
