The Mountain Ship was the name Law gave to the Dragon-Ship Beast based on its appearance.
As the name suggests, it was a ship carrying a mountain on its back.
They first encountered the Mountain Ship when they were on the western side of the Dark Continent. The distance between the west and the east was no joke.
This was also why Law was surprised to see the Mountain Ship. Of course, he wasn't sure exactly how many Mountain Ships existed in the entire Dark Continent.
However, considering its unique appearance and size, he felt one was probably more than enough.
Kuro, following behind Law, also reached the rooftop and immediately saw the Mountain Ship breaking through the clouds. He couldn't help but curse out loud.
"Why is this guy here?!"
Kuro's silver eyes widened. Remembering that time they were almost blasted to death by the Mountain Ship, he couldn't help but shudder.
During their first exploration of the Dark Continent, the team had encountered many dangerous situations, one of which was provided by the Mountain Ship.
"Return to the Hide-and-Seek dimension."
Law made an immediate decision and jumped onto Kuro's back.
Kuro didn't need further instruction. He directly leaped into the labyrinth passage, landing in front of the people below.
Law looked at them and said seriously, "Everyone, come here. We need to leave this place quickly."
With an enemy present, Law didn't say things like 'back to the Hide-and-Seek dimension'.
Biscuit and the others, although unsure what was happening, ran towards Law and Kuro without any hesitation. Giles, however, didn't move.
This was also the reaction expected from an outsider.
Dice Nose, watching the actions of Law's group, had a trace of doubt flash deep in her eyes.
Law and Kuro's hurried behavior… she couldn't tell if it was a bluff or not.
Law didn't care about Dice Nose's thoughts. Seeing Giles' hesitant expression, he urged seriously, "If you don't want to throw your life away for nothing, get over here quickly."
By this time, Biscuit and the others had already jumped onto Kuro's back, but Giles still looked puzzled. "What happened?"
"No time to explain. Get on," Law continued to urge.
"..."
Giles remained silent for a moment, then jumped onto Kuro's back as quickly as possible, before coldly looking at Dice Nose.
He realized that Law didn't seem to be joking, and there must definitely be a motive and a reason to leave here.
Giles chose to believe the reason behind Law's motive, so he abandoned the chance to avenge his teammates right now.
Once everyone was on board, without even glancing at Dice Nose, Law had Kuro ascend to the rooftop of the labyrinth building.
When they reached the rooftop, Tonpa was only five or six hundred meters away from them.
Seeing Law and the others emerge, Tonpa stopped right where he was.
Seeing Tonpa waiting for them, Law patted Kuro and said, "Go over."
Kuro nodded. His limbs moved together as he ran towards Tonpa at top speed. It didn't take long to pick up Tonpa, and then they headed straight for the location of the Hide-and-Seek's entrance.
At this moment, the people on Kuro's back noticed the behemoth in the sky ahead, their faces filled with shock.
"Why is the Mountain Ship here?"
Biscuit stared intently at the Mountain Ship, asking the same question as Kuro.
"Who the hell knows? Anyway, as long as we hide in the Hide-and-Seek, there's no way the thunder from that Mountain Ship can hit us," Kuro said.
"Is this [Mountain Ship] you're talking about that thing in the air?" Uvogin asked, clicking his tongue.
"That's the name Law gave it. We encountered it once on the western part of the continent before. Back then, we were almost wiped out. Who knows how wide this damn thing's range of activity is, that it wandered all the way to the eastern continent," Tonpa explained.
"That terrifying?" Uvogin looked surprised.
"The Dark Continent is never short of these freaks," Tonpa said, patting Uvogin's shoulder like a seasoned veteran, speaking earnestly.
Ging looked at the Mountain Ship in the sky, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "So, this thing is the Mountain Ship..."
"You know about it?" Biscuit immediately looked strangely at Ging.
"It's recorded in the book Law published," Ging explained, then looked at the surrounding metal buildings, his eyes thoughtful.
"You... have been to the western continent?" Giles suddenly spoke up. The question he raised wasn't about the Mountain Ship, but about Law's group having been to the western continent.
Law glanced at Giles. After thinking for a moment, he saw no need to hide it and nodded. "Yes."
Giles' eyes flashed. Just as he was about to say something more, an ear-splittingly loud roar suddenly came from the direction of the Mountain Ship.
Everyone saw the massive oars beneath the Mountain Ship almost simultaneously slash out numerous pillars of lightning, clustering together and striking at many buildings on the edge of the ancient city at the speed of light.
In an instant, blindingly brilliant lightning surged over like a gale, sweeping over everyone's vision.
"..."
Even though Biscuit and Tonpa had seen the Mountain Ship unleash its power before, seeing it release such terrifying lightning again inevitably made their hearts tremble with fear once more. Not to mention the others who were seeing the Mountain Ship's power for the first time.
Giles, however, showed a look of shock and instantly understood why Law had urged them to leave quickly.
That kind of attack power, which could only be described as a natural disaster, was something humans simply couldn't withstand.
More importantly, the buildings in the ancient labyrinth city contained metal. If they conducted electricity, hiding inside the buildings would also be very dangerous.
In this situation, although Giles didn't know what the Hide-and-Seek was, given his knowledge, he could guess it was probably a space-type Nen Ability.
Seeing the Mountain Ship unleash its power, Nobunaga murmured, "Law, can your Domain withstand that level of lightning?"
"I haven't tried, but the chance of it holding up is pitifully small."
"..."
Not long after, the Mountain Ship unleashed lightning again right before their eyes.
Sky thunder containing astonishing energy shot out from the giant oars, clustering into a mass and striking the buildings of the ancient labyrinth.
Because the distance had closed, everyone clearly saw the metal building surfaces struck by the lightning cluster instantly turn charred black.
For some unknown reason, after the Mountain Ship entered the ancient labyrinth city, the frequency of its lightning strikes noticeably increased. Each thunderclap was accompanied by deafening noise and lightning flashes comparable to flashbangs.
Including those in the Hide-and-Seek, everyone could only watch in silence as the Mountain Ship continued to rain down streams of lightning. It was simply not something human power could contend with. One could even say humans were frighteningly insignificant before the Mountain Ship.
"We're here!"
Before the Mountain Ship could fly over, Kuro, carrying everyone, arrived at the Hide-and-Seek's entrance first.
By now, the Mountain Ship was not far from their location. The buildings ahead were already covered by the shadow cast by the Mountain Ship.
At that distance, it wouldn't be long before the Mountain Ship flew right over their heads.
At this moment, everyone could clearly see the dragon head at the front of the Mountain Ship constantly spewing white steam, and the mountain on the ship's body, covered in lush vegetation.
"This..."
Giles was speechless with shock.
Inside the Hide-and-Seek, Knov, seeing Law's group arriving at the entrance through the footage transmitted by the little fox, immediately opened the entrance.
Law's group quickly jumped into the black circle.
If they had stayed in the ancient labyrinth city, they would most likely have been struck dead by lightning.
Thus, the usefulness of the Hide-and-Seek dimension was demonstrated once again.
