The pitch-black Water Strider Speedboat raced across the ocean of gastric juices inside the Lanternfish.
In its normal surface mode, its four mechanical legs naturally touched the water. But with Sephiroth controlling it himself, energy was no concern, so he could use its magnetic levitation mode as much as he liked.
"Waaah-this is awesome!"
Aboard the Water Strider Speedboat, Olga clung to the railing, excited by her first ride in such a "high-speed" vehicle.
To keep her from accidentally falling overboard, a safety rope had been tied around her waist.
Her good friend, the lizard she had named Elizabeth, squawked along with her.
Sephiroth sat in the driver's seat, making a show of steering the speedboat.
Achiu sat beside him, watching his daughter laugh. He felt he could accept whatever the future held now.
[Mr. Achiu, I'm speaking to you through my thoughts. Please don't speak aloud yet. If you want to answer me, just concentrate and think of what you want to say.]
When Achiu "heard" the voice, he almost answered aloud. Only after taking in the actual words did he realize that the "voice" seemed to have appeared directly in his mind.
[Mr. Bondrewd, what exactly is your Devil Fruit power?]
Achiu felt he had experienced more surprises today than in the previous two hundred years combined.
[No, you can think of this as a special form of Observation Haki.]
Although Achiu was an ordinary man, he was originally from the New World and knew a little about Devil Fruits and Haki. So he more or less accepted that explanation.
[You truly are incredible. Since you're speaking to me this way, I take it there's something you need to keep from my daughter.]
Achiu had guessed correctly. There were indeed some things Sephiroth could not let Olga know
