The group quickly went into the cabin of the White Dove.
Seeing Tesoro blocking the doorway, Pea shoved him aside, even though everyone on the ship was like family.
But from beginning to end, Roy was closest to the Pea.
The group filed into the room. At that moment, the bed beneath Roy was floating in mid-air. Bullet stepped forward and pressed the bed down. Roy, lying on the bed, had a furrowed brow, his body trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
An invisible wave swirled around him, and it was this wave that caused the strange phenomena in the outside world.
Roy's mental state is very unstable right now.
Hawk Eyes said in a deep voice, drawing his long sword. He had to react immediately if there were any signs of things getting out of control, to prevent any accidents from happening to the weaker members of the group.
"Boss!"
"Wake up!"
Tesoro's voice entered Roy's mind, which seemed to guide Roy's consciousness, instantly breaking through the surrounding darkness and allowing him to sense the connection to his body.
Just then, Roy suddenly opened his eyes!
What eyes they were!
Deep within his jet-black pupils, swirled and shone with a sharp light, so intense that upon closer inspection, it seemed as if one could draw the soul into them.
The initial confusion upon waking was quickly dispelled by the surrounding environment. Seeing his companions appear beside him, he felt relieved, and the scattered spiritual energy instantly returned to his body.
The floating objects outside crashed and fell to the ground with a series of thuds.
"Cough cough..."
Roy coughed lightly and struggled to sit up, a wave of pain making him frown.
"Don't move!"
"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, lie down first."
Stella immediately stepped forward to support him, her tone tinged with reproach, but mostly with joy.
Pea quickly came over and placed her little hand directly on Roy's chest, and another ball of life energy flowed into Roy's body.
Roy lay down and looked at his companions, a warm feeling and a sense of guilt welling up inside him.
I'm sorry to have worried everyone.
"This time... I was too impulsive and dragged everyone down with me."
Bullet grinned and patted his chest.
"Hmph, enough of this nonsense! We're comrades! What's with all this talk about being implicated? It's enough that we fought our way out alive together!"
"And, hehe, I've made quite a haul this time!"
Bullet then raised his right hand.
Roy looked at the black and red Inazuma on Bullet's fist; although it wasn't quite stable yet, it was definitely Conqueror's Haki Coating.
A genuine smile appeared on his pale face; this was undoubtedly one of the best pieces of news after such a fierce battle.
"Well done, Bullet!"
Hawk Eyes nodded slightly in approval. Although he had not yet mastered the technique of Conqueror's Haki Coating, breaking through to the level of Great Swordsman had opened up a whole new world for his swordsmanship, and his strength was now vastly different from before.
A hint of envy and determination flashed in Tesoro's eyes. He clenched his fist and secretly vowed to improve his strength.
Roy nodded, feeling gratified. Every life-or-death ordeal is a catalyst for growth.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Roy asked the crucial question.
"Five days." Hawk Eyes said succinctly.
"Five days..." Roy murmured. It seemed he had indeed overdrawn his energy this time, but he had also gained immense benefits. Not only had his mental strength increased significantly, but his development of his Devil Fruit ability had also made further progress.
The surge in mental power amplified the enhancement of Observation Haki to an alarming degree.
Roy has no idea how wide the range of his Observation Haki has become.
The time to Future Sight has also increased to about one minute.
After waking up, Roy, nourished by the continuous life energy of the Pea and carefully cared for by his companions,
His body was recovering at an astonishing rate; his already formidable physique, coupled with the increased mental power he could now control more precisely,
This allowed him to get out of bed and move around freely after just one day, instead of having to stay in bed for several more days due to the injury.
According to Stella, the materials for the ship have been prepared and construction has begun. The new ship is expected to set sail in three months.
The Water 7 is now calm and peaceful.
Neither the World Government nor the Navy seems to be paying attention to this famous shipbuilding city, perhaps because the losses in the Battle of Sabaody have left them with no time to spare.
Or perhaps Tom's Workers was simply too remote, which allowed Roy and his group to rest and recuperate in peace.
The cabin of the White Dove was temporarily converted into a temporary conference room, where Roy, Barrett, Hawkeye, Tesorostella and others sat together, while Savi, Enel and Pea listened in from the side.
"Our current location is safe for the time being."
Stella reported on the intelligence she had gathered from the city.
" The Marine Headquarters ' focus is currently on the reconstruction of the Sabaody Archipelago. Although the bounty for us has been increased, large-scale manhunt operations have not yet spread here."
"Hmph, they're smart to know what's good for them."
"Next time we meet, I'll definitely show them what I'm capable of!"
Bullet clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, clearly dissatisfied with his humiliating defeat and hasty retreat.
Tesoro remained somewhat silent. The battle at Sabaody made him acutely aware of his shortcomings, and the potential of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was far from being fully realized.
He toyed with a gold coin in his hand, arcs of electricity dancing on his fingertips, sometimes coalescing, sometimes dispersing.
Hawk Eyes wiped his Black Blade "Night," his expression as calm as ever, but occasionally a hint of inquiry flickered in his eyes as he looked at Roy.
He could feel that after Roy woke up, the invisible pressure emanating from him was even stronger, especially his eyes, which were so deep that they seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Roy took in everyone's expressions and slowly began to speak:
"Although we narrowly escaped death this time, it made us realize the gap between us and the navy's top combat power, which is a good thing. Besides, we also gained quite a bit of benefit, didn't we?"
"Besides... we can't stay here any longer," Roy said, changing the subject.
"Although the Navy is currently preoccupied with Sabaody, after these past few days, they should have begun searching for our whereabouts."
"Besides, given how openly we stole Adam Wood, the navy should be able to guess our purpose, and it's only a matter of time before they find this place."
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Roy's analysis.
"So what's our next step?"
In the end, Tesoro couldn't hold back any longer and asked the first question.
"Let's prepare first, then leave Water 7 and find out if there are any uninhabited islands nearby. We can go there to rest and regroup while waiting for the ship to be built. This will also help us avoid the navy's search and prevent them from interfering with the ship's construction."
"This will also allow me to process the improvements I gained from this battle."
"Yes, sir/captain!" everyone responded in unison.
"Therefore, our primary task for the next period of time is to enhance our strength and ensure the successful completion of the ' Ark Maxim '."
Roy concluded, "Once the new ship is launched, we'll head to the New World, where several great battles await us!"
