Chapter 89
Nami placed her hand on the power furnace’s energy transmission device. Crackling electricity surged from her palm as countless currents were absorbed by the device.
Soon, the energy device was fully charged, glowing red. The control panel displayed that it was ready to fire. Nami turned the cannon toward a cluster of reefs and pressed the launch button.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under Rorschach’s astonished gaze, the cannon fired an electromagnetic blast composed of countless electrical currents. Its power was several times stronger than the electromagnetic cannon Nami could produce while wearing her raid suit.
The moment the electromagnetic shell hit the reef cluster, a violent explosion erupted, sending a massive mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
Where the reefs once stood, only a huge crater remained. Seawater quickly rushed in to fill the hole, and the sea surface soon returned to calm.
"This destructive power... it’s already stronger than my ’Weiguo,’ right?!"
Rorschach stared in disbelief at the aftermath of the cannon shot. If all three main cannons fired together, they could probably easily destroy a slightly smaller island.
This level of warship truly lived up to its design blueprint. It likely incorporated some of the ancient weapon "Pluton’s" technology.
Iceberg really hadn’t held back — he had built him the strongest warship in the world.
"Hehe, how about that? Does this level of power reach Admiral-level attacks?"
Nami asked with a proud smile. The perfect synergy between her ability and the warship had greatly increased her importance. This way, Rorschach would value her even more.
Hehe, the position of first wife is definitely mine!
"That’s it? You can’t even break my barrier. A Navy Admiral wouldn’t just stand still and let you hit them," Karina teased with a playful look.
Unable to accept that, Nami immediately started arguing with Karina. Rorschach could only watch the scene in a daze.
He then took out two large chicken legs from his storage space and began munching on them while enjoying the show, looking quite content.
"Hey! Rorschach, you tell us — who’s stronger?"
Suddenly, both girls turned and shouted at him at the same time. They refused to end the argument without a clear winner.
"Uh...? I think I’m the strongest."
Rorschach’s mouth was glistening with oil, but he really couldn’t answer their question, so he casually deflected.
"Hmm?!" The two girls exchanged glances after seeing his spectator-like attitude, seemingly reaching an agreement. They then dragged Rorschach to the training room.
In their anger, they pounced on him and used the "martial arts" they had trained for the past two years, wanting to show him how powerful they were.
However, they still hadn’t learned their lesson. With their current level of physical techniques, they couldn’t even tickle Rorschach. They were quickly defeated and experienced the "defeat CG" once again.
Rorschach, who hadn’t eaten enough in the kitchen earlier, was now fully satisfied. freewebnoveℓ.com
...
Time flew by, and another ten days passed.
After returning to the Grand Line, Rorschach didn’t head straight to Sabaody Archipelago. Instead, he sailed casually through the seas.
Whenever they encountered uninhabited islands, he would use his ability to make them float. He had begun collecting resources from various islands.
In the future, whether he wanted to assemble a group of floating islands in the New World or keep them in the sky for later mining, these resources would be crucial.
But on this day, the seascape suddenly changed. The originally clear sky turned dark, and thick fog enveloped the entire sea area.
"Strange, why did the weather change so suddenly without any warning? It feels like the sky darkened in an instant."
Nami walked out of her room. She had been drawing sea charts inside, but the sudden darkening outside the window made her immediately head to the deck.
"I don’t know either. It was clear skies just a moment ago, but the moment we entered this sea area, thick fog formed instantly and turned into this," Mikita, the lookout, said with some confusion.
She had been staying on the mast, constantly monitoring the sea and reporting to Nami. However, the change happened too suddenly — they had already entered deep into the fog before she could react.
"It looks like we’ve entered the ’Devil’s Triangle’ area."
The familiar thick fog combined with their sailing route made Rorschach guess their location. This was most likely the territory of Moonlight Moria.
"Is there any danger here? Should we ascend and leave this area?"
Such a bizarre sea area made it impossible to predict natural disasters. For safety’s sake, Nami still asked Rorschach.
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep ’watching’ the surroundings at all times. If anything happens, I’ll deal with it."
Rorschach thought of the cute little ghosts on Moria’s ship and felt a surge of interest. He wanted to recruit that ghost princess onto his crew.
The Soul-Soul Fruit was an extremely broken ability in the early stages. Although powerful Haki could later nullify Paramecia effects, was Rorschach really after the fruit’s power?
"Well, as long as we don’t deviate from the route and keep heading in this direction, we’ll reach Sabaody Archipelago. I’ll go back to my room for a nap then. I’ll leave the steering and sea conditions to you."
Nami checked the direction on her Log Pose, then yawned and headed toward the cabin. Drawing high-intensity sea charts and training physically with Rorschach had made her a bit tired, so she decided to take a nap.
"Then I’ll go take a bath first. Want to join me, Rorschach?"
Karina stretched lazily and beckoned at Rorschach seductively. She had been researching cuisine with Nojiko in the kitchen earlier, and her clothes had gotten some oil stains, leaving her with a faint smell of cooking smoke.
"Maybe tonight. It’s not convenient right now."
Rorschach was tempted but ultimately refused. He currently wanted to locate the Thriller Bark.
Seeing Rorschach decline, Karina shrugged and returned to her room alone.
Most of the others were in the training room. Kaku and Lucci practically lived there and rarely came out. External matters barely affected them.
Now, only Rorschach and Mikita remained on the deck.
The thick fog severely limited Mikita’s vision. Her Observation Haki range wasn’t very large either, so her role as lookout was greatly diminished.
Since Rorschach was bored standing there alone, he called Mikita down to chat with him.
"Captain Rorschach, with your current strength, can’t you directly disperse this fog? It would make observation much easier," Mikita asked curiously while chatting.
"Probably not. The area is too vast, and it feels more like a permanent natural climate or the result of some ability. I can’t change the weather of such a large region with my current power."
Rorschach shook his head.
This sea area was quite special, constantly shrouded in black fog year-round. Rorschach guessed it was likely the work of an extremely awakened Devil Fruit user, or perhaps the place where such a user had perished.
