Laurentina knew that every gift from fate came with a hidden price. Therefore, she had to make a trip to Fishman Island no matter what.
This body hasn't swum in the ocean for a long time, and I wonder how the underwater suit from Ain is coming along. Logically, with the added swimming coating, the progress should be faster.
It just lacks the memory shape device of the Germa 66.
Crescent Bay Port.
As dusk fell, the Black Prison Fleet boarded the deck, and the naval personnel stationed in the harbor saluted them.
Beneath the shimmering gold and silver waves, the sailors maneuvered the rudders, hoisted the sails, and the Black Prison warship slowly drifted away from the harbor.
I never expected that I would have to go to the East Blue to find the Straw Hat Brothers.
Fate is full of such coincidences, just as a paintbrush can create countless variations with only a few colors. Life is always more unpredictable than comics.
I wonder how Father Andorn and Sister Hiel are doing, and how everyone at the Loguetown Monastery is doing.
As the ship gradually accelerated, the sounds of billowing sails and leaping fish mingled together, creating a childhood melody—light and responsive, like a traveler gazing at familiar lands or birds returning to their homeland, a harmonious blend, gentle as the wind.
Target—East China Sea!
Chapter 53 Sanji, there's an abyss ahead!
"How convenient! It goes straight through the windless belt."
After a brief resupply in Alabasta, the Black Prison Fleet crossed the Calm Zone and entered the sultry, windless seas.
As a deep-sea hunter, Ghost Shark had swum almost all over the waters near Loguetown before eating the fruit. Apart from Fishman Island, which she had never been to, the sea felt desolate and boring to her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have decided to eat the Devil Fruit.
When she entered the West Blue in search of Nico Robin, she accidentally entered the Calm Belt, which was filled with various large sea kings.
Perhaps due to her special bloodline, these sea creatures all chose to keep their distance from her.
"Because of the sea in the past two years"
With the replacement of warships, a large number of foreign-made ships appeared, equipped with sea stone on their hulls, which could effectively conceal their warship appearance.
Tina set up a parasol and beach chairs on the deck, took a sip of orange juice, and continued to explain to her sister, "But it was also because we were escorting the kings of the constituent republics that we were granted permission to use this type of warship."
Alice placed two bowls of ice cream on the small table, and a round-headed robot delivered the other bowl into the ship's library, where Ayn was engrossed in her research.
By the way, this round-headed robot is called Justice, and its gender is female; it's also known as Miss Justice.
She is Ain's latest creation, equipped with medical knowledge and related equipment to meet the Black Prison Fleet's growing medical needs.
Alice's status? 1.
After the Latavia incident was exposed, the reputation of the Navy Empress became known to all. She encountered very few pirates during her voyage, and most of them turned and ran away without hesitation when they saw the banner of the Black Prison Fleet.
This leisurely and peaceful life pleased Ghost Shark quite a bit, allowing her to calm down and pick up a carving knife to carve the stone.
"It seems my sister really enjoys her life now."
Tina picked up a copy of the fashion magazine "SEVENTEEN," flipped through a few pages, and said casually.
"I'm all alone on the sea, my peace shattered by pathetic pirates, and now I have to accept the reality that the fish treat me like an honored guest."
Laurentina glanced at Kemi grilling takoyaki at the front of the deck, her gaze fixed on the stone. "So I have to make the most of this time and add some spice to my life with my passion for art."
Before long, a lifelike sculpture was completed.
"What is this?" Tina suddenly stood up, covering her mouth with her leather gloves.
“It’s Tina, the sister who rides the waves,” the girl said with a smile. “I haven’t carved in a long time, so I’m not very skilled.”
In front of the beach chair, a sculpture the same height as Tina faces the sea, with a heroic spirit between its brows and a firm gaze. Two long fences extend from its arms, and a wide cloak of justice billows in the wind.
In a daze, a brutal battlefield appeared before her eyes, with the roars of warriors echoing from within. Tina, like a hero, broke through the enemy lines, her loud counterattack howl resounding through the blue sky.
“A perfect sculpture.” Tina lightly touched the sculpture’s shoulder with her finger; the texture was as smooth as jade. “Justice, remember to remind me next time we resupply to find a shipwright to embed the sculpture in the bow.”
"Received, Aru!" The medical robot spun around Tina happily.
The warship sailed out of the doldrums and entered the East China Sea.
Apart from a few subordinates from the East China Sea who looked somewhat excited, the others appeared more relaxed.
After all, the East China Sea is the most peaceful sea area, but also the weakest sea. To everyone else, this escort mission was just a matter of completing the task while lying down.
......
"Reporting, Major General, a carp boat has been spotted at the ten o'clock position!"
The voices of scouts came from the lookout tower.
Ahead, a three-story carp boat can be faintly seen, with a fish head and tail, green walls and red tiles.
"It's the Baratie, a floating restaurant that's recently become popular in the East China Sea," a corporal from the East China Sea couldn't help but explain to the group.
"A restaurant?" Tina flicked her cloak and draped it over herself. "There are quite a few pirate ships moored behind it."
"Yes, the restaurant's rule is to provide food for the hungry, and both pirates and marines are welcome." The corporal swallowed hard. "And the food is also very delicious."
“In that case,” Tina said, chewing on an orange-flavored Pocky and crossing her arms, “let’s have lunch at that restaurant.”
The warship slowly moved to the left and connected to the movable platform at the fin of the Baratie.
Not far away, a bearded man dressed in a chef's uniform came out to greet them, looking like Popeye, who was having a rough time with life.
"Welcome, sirs..." Chef Paddy noticed that the leaders were all female marines, so he immediately changed his address, bowing and scraping, "Ladies, please follow me."
Finally, they added, "No penniless people allowed."
So realistic...
"Hey, ladies of the Navy, what would you like to eat? Let me make it clear from the start, Baratie's motto is no waste of food."
Zeff came out of the kitchen to greet them. He looked up and saw the Black Prison Fleet's formation. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Chef Pirates Captain, Red-Leg Zeff?" Tina stopped at the shop entrance, her tone unfriendly.
Pirates?
The navy immediately became alert and assumed a fighting stance.
"Oh? This young lady seems to know quite a lot." Zeff chuckled casually, his legs treading on spikes. "Haha, but don't worry, I'm just an ordinary old man now, and my only wish is to provide food for the hungry."
After being stranded on a deserted island for more than 80 days without food, he could never forget the terrible feeling of hunger.
"Please have a seat, ladies of the Navy." Zeff seemed used to this scene and turned to walk into the kitchen. "Just tell Paddy what you'd like to eat."
"A rear admiral?" a navy officer couldn't help but ask.
Tina waved and walked ahead, and the navy men put down their weapons and followed her to their seats.
"Oh? Old man, new guests?" At the kitchen counter, a young man in a suit was cooking cream of mushroom soup.
Upon seeing Zeff return, she stopped what she was doing and prepared to serve the complimentary juice and beer.
"Wait, Sanji." Zeff hesitated for a moment before stopping the boy. "This reception task will be handled by Paddy and Karl."
Under his own tutelage, Sanji adheres to the code of chivalry, respects women, and would never lay a hand on a woman.
However, his weakness is also very troublesome: he is a womanizer and loses control the moment he sees a beautiful woman.
If it were just an ordinary beautiful woman, I wouldn't say anything, but this time the guests are too important: the beautiful Major General Tina, the calm and collected blue-haired scientist, the clumsy and cute blonde ship's doctor, and even two rare and beautiful mermaids.
None of this is the point.
The most deadly one is that legendary naval empress!
Major Specter, whose beauty rivals that of Boa Hancock!
Rumor has it that even her battles are imbued with an air of elegance, like those of a gracefully dancing artist.
Sanji would die if he met this person!
That's a bottomless abyss ahead, Sanji! You can't go there!!!
Chapter 54 Sanji is petrified
Something is wrong!
My husband is acting strange!
Old man Zeff looked at him seriously, his expression revealing that something was wrong.
Hmph, haha.
Suddenly, the sound of a girl's laughter reached my ears, so beautiful it made me feel as if I had fallen into an autumn harvest field, surrounded by the peaceful fragrance of rice blossoms. I stroked her hair, kissed her cheek, and twirled around like a fairy.
Sanji's body trembled suddenly. He turned around, picked up the drinks, and walked firmly toward the door.
Bang!
Zeff kicked Sanji to the ground and ruthlessly pressed his head down. "Sanji, it's dangerous ahead! That's an abyss!"
Since Mr. Zeff has said so.
Sanji suddenly realized that what was worthy of the old man's serious treatment must be...
"Don't hold me down like that, Zeff, or I'll lose control and kill you."
Sanji buried his head in the ground, but his eyes were fixed on the door.
Suddenly, the laughter from behind the double doors sounded like a mischievous little imp, her eyes gleaming as she gave Sanji a seductive smile.
"Sanji, I'm doing this for your own good." Zeff sighed, his grip loosening.
Curiosity killed the cat, and so do humans. We are always as curious as children when it comes to touching taboos and facing the unknown, but who can know that what falls on our heads is a bright red apple and Pandora's box?
There is a flaw!
Sanji kicked Zeff's arm away with all his might, sprang to his feet, and darted to the door with the juice in his hand.
"Old man." A serious look appeared in the eyes of the young man in the suit, as resolute as a knight about to go into battle.
"Only after experiencing it do you realize that the regret of doing nothing is several times more painful than missing out. I don't know if there will be a door to love in the place I want to go now, but I think I should try to believe in myself."
A bright smile appeared on that face with curly eyebrows, and Zeff was instantly stunned.
So sacred?
But your goal is just to peep at pretty girls, right?
Your thoughts are filthy, yet your words are grand enough to overthrow the world government. Who exactly are you?
Sanji smiled, straightened his slightly rolled-up suit collar, and pushed open the back door of the restaurant amidst the pleas of many to stay, walking forward step by step.
He took a deep breath.
Old man, please appreciate the true spirit of chivalry.
The ladies behind the door.
Sanji, I'm coming in right away.
pat!
The rosewood door, worth ten thousand berries, sang with a triumphant roar as it opened.
Sanji's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on the Marines with the most Justice Cloaks—it turned out to be the Marine ladies! Knight Sanji, at your service!
Sanji, carrying a plate and with a napkin draped over his other sleeve, walked gracefully with impeccable gentlemanly steps.
As they drew closer, the figures in front of them gradually became clearer.
Oh? That pink-haired navy lady!
Sanji felt like he was walking on cotton, his steps becoming unsteady and unrestrained.
Huh? Those two girls, one with blue hair and one with blonde hair!!
Sanji seemed to be standing on a spring street, breathing heavily through his nose.
What? Those two ladies have...fish tails down there!!!
Sanji suddenly felt as if he had fallen into the bubbling deep sea, his eyes sparkling with hearts.
Behind Lauren Tina, a young man in a suit twirled around like a ballerina, arriving at her side like a whirlwind.
;
"Lady, would you like some juice or beer?"
After speaking, he looked up and met Laurentina's gaze, who was engrossed in her painting.
