........................
In the sea area at the front entrance of the Fishman Island, a huge ark that was even larger than the Fishman Island was slowly approaching on the current.
Just the currents brought about by sailing have already made the watchtower of the Border Guard crumbling.The team members were horrified to find that the impenetrable ancient walls in the watchtower were creaking and muffled, and the sea beasts raised around them had already dispersed.
"Captain...what the hell is that..." Even the long-dormant Noah's Ark was not even 1/3 as big as this mysterious ark. The members of the Border Guard were so frightened that they could not even hold the trident in their hands.
"No matter what it is... if it is allowed to approach Fish-Man Island again, Fish-Man Island will be really dangerous!! Sound the alarm! Team 2 goes to inform Dragon Palace City. Everyone else, follow me to attack!"
The captain of the Border Guard is a tiger shark named 'Mar-Vell'.He immediately dispatched the second team composed of the most mobile mermaids back to Dragon Palace City to report, while he brought the rest of the team to fight to the death.
This ship must not be allowed to approach Fish-Man Island! !
At the harbor at the entrance to Fishman Island, people are warmly welcoming Princess Otohime who has returned safely. Neptune, the king of the sea, also rushed to the scene with the prince and princess, and the family was reunited happily.
But the harsh siren broke the happy atmosphere.
The right minister looked to the sky in shock and anger, "The Border Guard will only be activated when there is a major crisis! What happened!?"
The sharp and piercing sirens continued to echo over Fish-Man Island, and the people's original joyful mood suddenly turned into panic and confusion. The last time it sounded was more than ten years ago. Large-scale pirates invaded Fish-Man Island and captured mermaids as slaves. The entire Fish-Man Island was on the verge of destruction. Fortunately, the Whitebeard Pirates arrived in time. With the power of the world's strongest man, Fish-Man Island was protected.
Will the tragedy of that day be repeated again today?
Suddenly, someone pointed to the 'sky' in the distance and shouted in horror, "Look!! What is that, what is that!!??"
Everyone looked up and saw a black shadow in the shape of a ship slowly approaching the fishman island in the distance outside the bubble of the fishman island. Its size even surpassed the fishman island.Once a collision occurs, the Murloc Island is bound to be completely destroyed.
"That's... what?" Neptune Neptune's face was extremely ugly, no matter how powerful his personal power is, it would be useless in front of such a huge battleship, right?
Princess Otohime, who was hugging the princes and princesses, turned pale with fright, but suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "That's... that's a vicious chain!!"
"Mother, what is a vicious chain?" the eldest prince Shark Star raised his head in confusion and asked.
"Ah, the queen mother made a mistake, the evil chain is a person, not a ship." Otohime calmed down for a moment, and then explained to everyone who looked at her, "If I remember correctly, that huge ark should be the new 'Ole Chain' 'Mafia Victor's car——! I was... I saw that ship on land a few days ago. It was being recoated in the waters of the Shampoo Islands. I didn't expect it to be recoated so quickly. , and came to Fish-Man Island."
"Ah! It's Brother Victor!" At this time, 'Sea Hero' Jinbei, who came after hearing the siren, also saw the huge ark in the distance, and recognized the logo on the sail of the Ark of Passion at a glance.
"Jinbei, is this 'Vicious Chain' Victor an enemy or a friend?" Neptune, the King of the Sea, saw an understanding person coming and asked quickly.
Jinbe laughed loudly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty Neptune. Brother Victor is very friendly to our fishmen, and Master Goyuki is also under his command!"
"Haoxue? Great, great..." Upon hearing Haoxue's name, Neptune immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If you were to ask the strongest person in active fish-man karate, people would probably say it is ‘Kai Xia’ Jinbei. But Neptune knew that the real fishman karate was the strongest, and it was Haoxue.
The crowd let out another exclamation, and Neptune and Jinbe hurriedly turned their heads to look. They saw the Ark of Passion in the distance gradually slowing down, and the mechanisms on both sides of the bow were opened, releasing huge anchors.
…………
The front entrance sea area of Fishman Island.
"Decompression chamber No. 36 is open!! The anchor's descent speed is 32/! Team No. slows down the descent speed of the right anchor to be consistent with Team No. !!"
"The No. 100 mainsail containment progress has reached points!"
"The containment progress of Sail No. 100 is !"
"The No. 80 sail chain power system is safe! The sail collection progress is 82...85......"
"Captain Giger has instructions! Team 3 immediately sends a light signal to Fish-Man Island, the content is!"
"Team No. reports! There is no abnormality in all areas inside the ark! There is no abnormality in the coating!"
For a huge island ship like Ark of Passion, even a simple stop requires the cooperation of everyone. Fortunately, the crew of the Coral is second to none even on the Grand Line, and the power system that Franky has designed is very complete. Even so, the three shipwright captains, Bingshan, Jige, and Franky, were closely monitoring all aspects of the Ark's data and did not dare to be careless in any way.
At the bow of the ship, Perona was complaining depressedly to Haoxue, "Old man, where is the 10,000 meters under the sea? It's at least almost 20,000 meters!"
Haoxue laughed loudly, "Ha! Ha! Ha! It's a general term used to describe the unfathomable depth of the sea. Otherwise, wouldn't our Ark of Passion be able to reach the bottom if it were poked upside down? Generally speaking, the bottom of the sea The location of the 'Dark Street' is between 3000 and 6000 meters, while the submarine volcano is at around 8000 meters. Below that is the bottomless trench, which leads straight to the bottom where the Fish-Man Island is located."
"But this is very dangerous!" Wu Hongji stuck out her tongue, "I almost got stuck in the huge hole under the red earth continent. The eruption of the submarine volcano is also very scary!"
"Hahaha~ I almost turned everyone into a coke~" Robin stroked his face and said the terrible words with a smile.
"Sister Robin! Are your thoughts too dark?" Perona and Matthew screamed in fright.
Victor smiled slightly, "Haoxue, Robin, Perona, Wu Hongji, Luo, Matthew, you guys will follow me on the 'Beagle' to Fish-Man Island."
"This will be our first stop on our journey to the 'New World'."
