Chapter 122
Everyone successfully returned to the Ryūyū.
Mikita happily greeted them and began asking about what happened after she left.
Once back on the ship, she stayed vigilant against possible aerial ambushes to kidnap Shalria, so she didn’t return to the ground and remained on the Ryūyū instead.
Soon, the Ryūyū continued to rise higher. From the top of the Red Line, it was only visible as a small dot floating in the sky. From the sea surface, the ship was completely out of sight.
"What a shame. I wanted to visit Fish-Man Island. I heard it’s a very beautiful island, and I’ve never seen the underwater scenery before."
Nami looked down at the Red Line below with regret, her tone somewhat downcast.
"Fish-Man Island is indeed a beautiful place. If you want to see it, we can go there later when we have the chance. We can head to Fish-Man Island from the New World. It’s not that troublesome."
"Besides, we’ll also need to visit the Sea Forest on Fish-Man Island later. There’s a piece of historical text there. I think Robin is also looking forward to seeing it."
Rorschach walked over to Nami’s side, naturally wrapping his arm around her waist. Standing together, they looked down at the Red Line below as he spoke softly.
From high above, they could see a small cluster of buildings on the Red Line.
Rorschach guessed that must be Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Over eight hundred years, the royal families of 19 countries had lived and multiplied here. With their efforts, the scale of development was enormous — already comparable to the size of a kingdom.
There were no other nations on the Red Line, only the Celestial Dragons.
The Celestial Dragons would not allow those they considered lowly commoners to live at the same height as them. Combined with the extremely high sea waves, very few people could survive in this place.
Only the Celestial Dragons, with their fishbowl helmets, would choose to live here.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Rorschach’s mind.
If he controlled an island and dropped it from here, he could smash half the Celestial Dragons to death in one go. Just how explosive would the World Government’s reaction be?
But he quickly shook his head and dismissed the thought.
Not to mention whether he could actually drop it successfully, just the God’s Knights alone could intercept the island. Not to mention the Five Elders, and the unfathomable Im inside.
This idea was absolutely impossible to carry out. To ordinary people, an island was a natural disaster, but to these powerhouses, cutting an entire island in half was effortless.
Even the two-years-later Roronoa Zoro could use his fruit to slice an entire mountain peak. At that time, he was only at Warlord level, his fruit hadn’t awakened yet, and he couldn’t even beat Doflamingo.
"What’s wrong? Did you run into something you can’t figure out?"
Nami looked at Rorschach in confusion. She had seen him shake his head just now, so she asked curiously.
"No, it’s nothing. I just had a fun idea, but it feels unfeasible."
"Eh? What fun idea? Tell me too. Maybe I can help you."
The more Rorschach said it like that, the more it piqued Nami’s curiosity.
Nami leaned closer to Rorschach with a very interested expression and asked about the fun idea.
Seeing this, Rorschach could only tell her what he had just thought.
"What?! You want to drop an island onto Holy Land Mary Geoise?!"
Upon hearing this, Nami exclaimed in shock. Rorschach killing two Celestial Dragons and capturing one was already enough to shake the world.
Now he even wanted to drop an island to smash half the Celestial Dragons to death.
If he actually did that, the relationship with the World Government would go beyond irreconcilable — it would be total war.
The entire Navy and World Government forces would hunt Rorschach down, attacking wherever he went.
Every operation would at least dispatch three Admiral-level forces to pursue him.
Thinking of this, Nami couldn’t help but shiver. She had seen Admiral-level power twice before and knew her current level couldn’t reach that yet.
At most, she could only hinder them a bit. To truly contend with those monsters, she needed much more training.
Nami was also stirred up with the motivation to train harder, to reach a level where she could help Rorschach.
"Hahahaha, didn’t I say? It was just a thought. Actually doing it is still quite difficult. The World Government’s foundation isn’t as simple as we imagine."
Rorschach laughed and gently stroked her head. Seeing Nami, who had experienced so much yet still got scared, he found it somewhat amusing.
The confidence brought by becoming stronger couldn’t completely change her original cowardly trio personality.
However, when facing difficulties, Nami could also show a strong and unyielding side. Even when encountering an unbeatable situation, she wouldn’t submit to the enemy’s feet.
Afterward, Rorschach changed the subject and happily chatted with Nami about everyday things, no longer discussing the previous topic.
For a while, the deck was filled with laughter and cheerful voices.
Nami also revealed to Rorschach that little Vivi had been secretly asking Kaya and Nami what it felt like to train physical techniques with Rorschach. freёweɓnovel.com
Vivi, who had always trained alone, was very curious about this.
Every time Kaya and Nami told her that dual cultivation would make strength increase rapidly, she would show a trace of yearning, with a hint of spring in her eyes.
This "explosive" "news" even shocked Rorschach.
Afterward, Nami told Rorschach many things he didn’t know.
The girls didn’t realize that what started as a small secret among a few had unknowingly produced a little traitor in their midst.
"Rorschach? What are you talking about, laughing so loudly?"
Just as the two were chatting happily, Kalifa walked over with a puzzled look.
She clearly wanted to join the conversation, but Nami guiltily turned her head away.
She was thinking whether Kalifa had heard those words just now. Otherwise, their sisterly bond would really turn into plastic friendship.
"No, it’s nothing. We were just talking about when we should take down Mary Geoise below. Then I’ll build you all a huge palace."
Rorschach replied with a smile. There was no flaw in his expression or words.
Nami couldn’t help but inwardly call him the reincarnation of an acting emperor.
"Is that so? But taking down Mary Geoise won’t be easy. With our current forces, it’s still too early."
Kalifa didn’t suspect anything. She was just a bit curious why Nami’s expression looked a little strange.
With Kalifa joining, the previous topic was dropped. The three of them happily chatted while looking down at the Red Line below.
Suddenly, Rorschach felt a strange palpitation. The cheerful laughter stopped abruptly, and his expression froze.
He felt as if some ferocious beast was watching him.
No, even the most ferocious beast wouldn’t make him feel this way.
"What’s wrong again?"
Nami looked at him in confusion. She always felt Rorschach had been jumpy today.
What happened now to make Rorschach show such an expression?
"Nami, didn’t you feel it?!"
Rorschach’s expression turned serious as he looked at her earnestly.
Seeing Rorschach’s serious look, Nami immediately became alert.
She then released her large-range Observation Haki to sense the brainwaves around them.
But no matter how she sensed, she didn’t "see" any life signatures except those on their own ship.
"Feel what? There’s no life signature nearby. Are you sick? Why do you seem so jumpy today?"
Nami looked at Rorschach with some worry.
She clearly thought something was wrong with Rorschach, otherwise he wouldn’t act like this.
"No, it’s nothing. I must have sensed it wrong."
Seeing Nami’s reaction, Rorschach shook his head and brushed it off.
His gaze was fixed deadly on Holy Land Mary Geoise below.
If he wasn’t mistaken.
The only one who could avoid everyone’s perception and do something like this here was one person.
"Im!"
Rorschach slowly uttered the name in his heart.
If not for his relatively high-level and very sensitive Observation Haki, he probably wouldn’t have noticed someone watching him.
He clearly sensed confusion, puzzlement, and other emotions in that "gaze."
It wasn’t until a minute later that Rorschach felt the owner of the gaze had stopped watching them.
