Splash!
The seawater churned and roared wildly, causing the entire warship to shake, as if something was about to burst forth from beneath the sea.
Uya opened his eyes, and Ain's eyes also flashed as they both looked out the porthole.
Under the horrified gaze of countless sailors, an enormous monster suddenly appeared on the sea surface—a colossal Sea Kings!
Fortunately, the bottom of the warship was inlaid with Seastone, so the Sea Kings did not notice it; otherwise, it might have swallowed the entire warship whole from below.
However, although the bottom of the warship was inlaid with Seastone, the entire warship was not made of Seastone. So when the Sea Kings surfaced from the sea to breathe, it still discovered the warship that was right next to it.
"Sea... Sea Kings!!"
"This is way too big! This isn't the Calm Belt, how could a giant Sea Kings have come here!"
Countless sailors stared in fear at the enormous Sea Kings, which was large enough to swallow a warship whole. Although Uya was on the warship, the instant fear instilled by this monster made them forget everything else.
Looking at the giant Sea Kings outside the porthole, seemingly poised to swallow the warship whole, a cold glint flashed in Ain's eyes.
"I'll handle it, Commander Uya."
"Um."
Uya nodded casually. Ain had now almost completely mastered Armament Haki, and with her strength, dealing with a Sea Kings would be a piece of cake.
He glanced at the Sea Kings indifferently, intending to ignore it, but in the next moment, Uya seemed to see something and suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"That's... kind of interesting."
As if remembering something, Uya's lips curled into a smile, his figure suddenly Intangibility, and then gradually disappeared.
On the deck of the warship, the sailors stared in horror at the enormous Sea Kings.
The Sea Kings had spotted the warship, and they opened their enormous, abyss-like mouths, swallowing the warship whole.
In the next instant, a beautiful figure flashed by, and after a blink in the air, she arrived directly in front of the giant Sea Kings and kicked it.
"Drink!!"
Using the Return-Return Fruit's power to deal with such a large Sea Kings would be too exhausting and not worth it, so Ain simply and cleanly used physical Taijutsu.
Ain's feet were instantly covered in Armament Haki, and she suddenly kicked the Sea Kings in the stomach.
Bang!!!
With a loud bang, like a giant hammer striking a drum, the Sea Kings let out a scream amidst the buzzing sound.
Although this Sea Kings was large enough to swallow this medium-sized warship whole, it was still no match for Ain, who was already a top-tier Seven Warlords and close to Admiral level.
Although Ain's kick didn't send the massive Sea Kings flying, it did send it crashing backward.
The enormous Sea Kings collapsed onto the sea surface, instantly creating a spray of water.
"Commander Ain!"
"Amazing!"
As the sailors on the warship watched this scene, their initial fear gradually faded, replaced by awe and envy.
With such formidable strength, coupled with the great contributions she made while following Uya, Ain will likely be promoted to at least Rear Admiral upon returning to Marine Headquarters.
Thinking of this, they all showed a hint of joy. Although they hadn't done anything, since they had come out with Uya, they would definitely deserve credit when they returned.
Just as these naval personnel were filled with admiration and gratitude for Uya, a phantom figure solidified on the deck of the warship—it was none other than Uya.
After taking a few steps, Uya arrived at the side of the warship.
Ain, who had knocked down the Sea Kings with a single kick, flashed through the air and landed back beside Uya, looking rather surprised. Was Uya worried that she couldn't handle the Sea Kings?
impossible.
Uya Uya was absolutely certain of her strength, because he had been guiding her training and cultivation all along, and even occasionally sparring with her.
"Commander Uya, what is this...?"
"Look."
Uya didn't look at Ain, but kept staring at the sea. Suddenly, he slightly raised his chin in the direction of the sea to make a gesture.
Ain looked in the direction of Uya's gaze with some curiosity, and saw that the huge Sea Kings was lying on the surface of the sea, and suddenly it spat out two strange little things from its mouth.
One appeared to be a starfish, while the other was a creature with an adorable appearance, resembling a girl with short, light green hair on the upper body and a fish tail on the lower body.
Mermaid?!
A look of surprise appeared on Ain's small face. Coming from the Marine Headquarters recruit camp, it was impossible for her not to know about mermaids, but even if she did, she had never seen one.
Mermaids are extremely rare and almost never come to the surface of the sea. This is because the price of mermaids in the slave market is astronomical, and if a mermaid does appear on the surface, all slave traders will go crazy.
Mermaids who are occasionally captured are almost always sold for exorbitant prices, often ending up in the hands of high-ranking nobles or even Celestial Dragons.
"Mermaids? I've seen them in files, but this is the first time I've seen one in person." Looking at the mermaid girl who had been spat out by the giant Sea Kings, Ain couldn't help but show a hint of interest.
However, it's quite absurd that this mermaid was eaten by Sea Kings.
Meanwhile, on the warship, all the sailors stared in astonishment at the mermaid girl in the water. Even Ain had never seen a mermaid before, so of course they had never seen one either.
Just then, the orange starfish that had been spat out along with the mermaid girl splashed around happily on the surface of the water twice before jumping onto the mermaid girl's body.
"We're saved, Camie!"
"The starfish is talking!!"
The navy personnel were instantly dumbfounded.
Mermaid Camie, holding the starfish, first took a breath, then chuckled and said, "Yeah! We should thank the people who saved us."
Camie spoke, she turned to look at the warship beside her and immediately saw a large group of sailors staring at her in disbelief, as well as the imposing cannons and flags on the warship.
Camie, who was about to express her gratitude, Petrification instantly.
Approximately three seconds later.
"Wow!! I'm so scared, there are so many people!!"
"It's... it's the human navy!!"
The starfish Pappag was also startled. Warships were so obvious that even though it was just a starfish, it was still recognizable.
On the warship, Uya looked at the frightened mermaid Camie and starfish Pappag, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
As expected, it was them. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit m. for a better reading experience.
