Chapter 362 - Chapter 362 Deep Sea Crisis, The Amused Meiser, Is This How You Use My Face?

"Is this really ten thousand meters under the sea?"

Nico Robin looked around at their surroundings, a puzzled expression appearing on her face as she said, "Why is there light here?"

How exactly did the light reach this place?

At this moment, Nico Robin's heart was filled with confusion.

"It is indeed quite dazzling," Brook said.

"Ah—"

"Although I don't have eyes that can be dazzled—"

"Yohohohoho—"

"Hey, look over there!" Luffy excitedly pointed at the enormous sphere in the distance. "Look at that!!"

Is that the legendary Fish-Man Island?!

As if thinking of something, Luffy's eyes began to sparkle.

Hearing Luffy's words, Meiser turned his gaze toward the huge sphere, then revealed a look of pleasant surprise as he said, "Could that be Fish-Man Island?!"

Its shape is indeed quite unique.

"The Log Pose is pointing in that direction!"

Upon hearing Nami's words, expressions of delight immediately appeared on everyone's faces.

"Wow, have we finally reached Fish-Man Island?!" Merry exclaimed excitedly.

Great!

They had finally arrived at this very famous island!

That meant... they would soon get to see Big Sister Camie!!

Thinking of this, Merry happily narrowed her eyes into a smile.

"It's so big!" Perona squinted as she examined the enormous bubble in the distance. "And it's surrounded by a bubble."

"Yeah, why is there a bubble?" Usopp said with a puzzled look.

"Maybe because the people inside also need to live on land?" Meiser guessed. "That's why they need to use a bubble to separate the seawater."

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for humans to land there.

"That's possible," Nami nodded, then pointed at the sky inside the bubble. "After all, there are clouds in there, so it's possible there's air and land."

"Really..."

"Why are there clouds?"

Looking at the situation inside the huge bubble, everyone's eyes were instantly filled with confusion.

They didn't understand why there would be clouds in a place like this—was that reasonable?!

"Who cares," Meiser said with a grin, crossing his arms. "We'll know once we go inside."

Once they entered, they would naturally learn the specific details of what was inside, so there was no need to dwell on it here.

"That's true!"

"Ahahaha, beautiful mermaid ladies—" Sanji twisted his body as he said, "I'm coming!"

His dream was finally about to come true!

Meanwhile, Luffy drooled and said, "I wonder what the meat on Fish-Man Island tastes like?"

It must be incredibly delicious Sea Kings meat!

As if imagining a certain scene, Luffy's eyes turned into the shape of meat.

Seeing this, a trace of helplessness appeared in Nami's eyes.

Then she said, "Stop drooling. Let's find the entrance to Fish-Man Island first."

"As for the entrance..."

Meiser pointed at the massive ring-shaped object and said, "Could it be that?"

At least so far, that was the only unusual thing he had spotted in this direction.

After carefully examining what Meiser was pointing at, Nami nodded and said, "That's possible."

"Do we need to go through all this trouble?"

Usopp asked in confusion, "Why not just use the Coup de Burst to charge right in?"

After all, there were bubbles inside, so there was no need to worry about the Pirate Ship taking on water.

"Idiot, you have no idea what's inside. Can we just charge in recklessly?" Nami retorted impatiently.

Who knew if Fish-Man Island might be like Sky Island back in the day, where you needed to enter through proper means to avoid being treated as an enemy?

Usopp paused for a moment, then blinked as if he understood something and said, "Then let's go through the entrance."

Clearly, he had also recalled the events of Sky Island from back then.

Just then, several enormous figures appeared in the distance, immediately catching Merry's attention.

"Hey, look! Sea Beasts are coming!"

"Sea Beasts?"

Hearing Merry's words, everyone was momentarily stunned before turning their gaze to the waters below Fish-Man Island.

Soon, they spotted the massive Sea Beasts rapidly approaching.

"Hey, what's with these guys?!" Usopp exclaimed, his expression changing. "Are they coming to eat us?"

Is this the welcome we get as soon as we arrive at Fish-Man Island?

Isn't this a bit too unlucky?

"Not sure."

Standing on the deck, Meiser stared at the heads of the Sea Beasts and said, "But... we'll know once the guys on top of them get here."

"Guys on top?" Usopp was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "What did you see?"

"There are people on the Sea Beasts' heads," Meiser said, narrowing his eyes. "And they're from the Fish-Man race!"

He just didn't know whether these guys were here to welcome them or attack them.

As he thought this, Meiser touched his sunglasses, and finding nothing amiss, lowered his hand.

"Although we don't know what's going on, everyone should stay alert," Nami said, her eyes fixed intently on the Sea Beasts. "Be prepared for them to attack us."

"Couldn't they be here to welcome us?" Luffy asked in confusion.

After all, Camie had said she would come to meet them.

"But they could also be here to kill us," Meiser said.

Seeing the serious expressions on both their faces, Luffy suppressed his usual demeanor and silently stared at the Sea Beasts above.

"So it really is the Straw Hat Crew..."

Hammond, a member of the New Fish-Man Pirates, narrowed his eyes as he examined the Thousand Sunny. "I never expected these guys to actually come to Fish-Man Island."

It truly surprised him.

Glancing at the two unfamiliar faces on the ship, Hammond's eyes revealed a flicker of surprise.

Were these two new recruits?

After nodding to himself, Hammond shifted his gaze to Kraken's face.

Then he said, "Why do you obey humans, Kraken?"

Seeing the New Fish-Man Pirates tattoo on the other's body, Kraken's expression instantly changed.

Then, the giant octopus seemed to have encountered a natural predator, immediately fleeing frantically into the distance, not even caring about the Thousand Sunny anymore.

And because it lost the Kraken's support, the Thousand Sunny swayed as it plummeted toward the sandy seabed below.

Luffy: ???

"Hey, Little Squid, what are you doing?!" Luffy stared dumbfounded at the fleeing Kraken and said, "At least give us a ride a little longer!"

"Hey, is now really the time for that? Hold on tight!" Usopp roared.

"Dammit, I'm getting dizzy..."

Seeing the sandy seabed getting closer and closer, Chopper was completely numb. Why did they have to go through all this?!

"BOOM!!"

Finally, the pirate ship landed on the sandy seabed and came to a complete stop, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, the bubble didn't burst..." Franky said with relief.

As long as the bubble didn't burst, the Thousand Sunny would be fine.

"Hmph, humans really are a bunch of inferior creatures."

The Fish-men, who had taken in the reactions of the people below, immediately showed looks of disdain in their eyes.

Faced with the sea, all they could do was scream in panic; there was nothing else they could manage.

Then, Hammond looked at Luffy on the Thousand Sunny and said, "You're the Straw Hat Crew, right?"

"And who are you?" Luffy asked, looking at Hammond in confusion. "How do you know about us?"

"Of course we know."

Hammond stood up from the Sea Beast and sneered, "After all, you're the pirate crew that once crushed Arlong's ambitions."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nami's expression immediately changed.

Arlong's crew?

Could it be that these guys were here to avenge Arlong's crew?

Thinking this, her expression grew serious.

"Are you here to get revenge for them?" Zoro said solemnly.

"If that were the only thing you'd done, then directly taking you out to avenge them would indeed be no problem," Hammond said with a complicated expression. "But who would have thought you'd protect Fish-men?"

Hearing his words, Luffy and the others immediately showed looks of surprise.

Protect Fish-men?

He must be talking about Camie and Hachi.

"Two years ago, you sheltered Hachi, a former member of Arlong's crew, on Sabaody Archipelago," Hammond said. "And you even killed three Celestial Dragons for him..."

After saying this, Hammond paused for a moment before continuing, "Not only that, the Bloodline Ninja of your crew caused a huge commotion in Mary Geoise and rescued the Fish-man race who were enslaved by the Celestial Dragons there..."

"It's almost like our beloved hero of Fish-Man Island... Fisher Tiger!"

By the end, Hammond's expression grew even more complicated.

Who would have thought a human could do something like that?

"So Meiser did something like that," Luffy exclaimed.

"That's amazing!"

Nico Robin, who had moved closer to Meiser, whispered, "So you actually freed the Fish-man race back then too?"

"Mhm."

"I freed people of all races," Meiser nodded.

Not just the Fish-man race, but people of other races were also freed by him!

As for whether those guys managed to escape alive, he didn't know, since he left Mary Geoise the next day.

"What are those two humans whispering about?" The New Fish-Man Pirates' hired killer, Ranzou, frowned as he looked at Meiser and Nico Robin. "Are they planning to run away immediately?"

"In this situation, how could they possibly escape?" Hammond shook his head.

If the Bloodline Ninja were still alive, he could indeed use the Water Release Technique to help them all escape.

But unfortunately... that person is already dead!

So there's absolutely no way this group could escape right under their noses.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Luffy said.

"That depends on your attitude." Hearing this, Hammond looked up at Luffy. "Are you friend or foe?"

"Friend or foe?" Usopp said, puzzled. "Didn't you just say Meiser is like a hero to your Fish-Man Island?"

"Why say something like that?"

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they be treating the Straw Hat Pirates as benefactors?

"He can indeed be considered a hero to our Fish-Man Island, but you are not." Hammond said calmly.

If that person came to their Fish-Man Island, they would certainly welcome him warmly.

But after all, he is already dead...

As for the members of the Straw Hat Pirates... they didn't participate in that battle, so they don't deserve that kind of treatment!

Usopp:

You can calculate it that way?

"So what do you intend to do?" Franky frowned.

"Our boss, considering that you were companions of the Bloodline Ninja and also protected Hachi on Sabaody Archipelago,

so... our New Fish-Man Pirates are willing to give you a choice."

"A choice?" Luffy asked, confused. "A choice about what?"

"An opportunity to join our New Fish-Man Pirates." Hammond grinned. "If you're willing to join,

our boss is willing, out of respect for the Bloodline Ninja, to give you officer positions."

"How about it, that's a pretty good deal, right?"

Out of respect for the Bloodline Ninja, they are willing to let the Straw Hat Pirates join the noble New Fish-Man Pirates!

Upon hearing Hammond's words, Meiser was so angry he laughed.

Is that how his reputation is being used?

Don't these guys take themselves a bit too seriously?

The others frowned as they looked at Hammond and his group. Don't these guys look down on the Straw Hat Pirates a bit too much?

What's with this condescending expression?

"Judging by your expressions, you don't seem too willing." Hammond's expression darkened. "You should think carefully,

if you refuse, we will sink you!"

If the Straw Hat Pirates don't know what's good for them, even if they were companions of the Bloodline Ninja, they won't hold back!

After all... in the eyes of the New Fish-Man Pirates, all humans deserve to die!

So they will mercilessly sink the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, just like they've sunk other human ships!

"There's nothing to think about with something like this!" Luffy said without hesitation. "I refuse!"

"I'm not in the habit of becoming someone else's subordinate!"

He's the man who will become the Pirate King—how could he possibly become someone else's underling?

What a joke!

So even if he dies, he could never be someone else's subordinate!

Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Hammond's eyes as he said, "Giving you a choice is already showing you enough respect. How dare you still..."

Have these guys not realized their situation yet?

Are they really not afraid of death?

"Truly arrogant," Ranzou grinned.

His sword hadn't tasted blood in a long time, so... he'd start with these guys!

At this thought, his eyes grew excited.

How many should he kill this time?

Upon hearing Ranzou's words, the other Fish-men all revealed bloodthirsty expressions.

For them, killing humans was the most satisfying thing!

So... even if they were the Straw Hat Pirates, they wouldn't hold back!

"Hey, are you sure you want to refuse us?" Hammond said coldly. "Straw Hat brat, you should know what happens if we sink you here."

Having their bubble burst at a depth of ten thousand meters... means death for these humans!

After all, their bodies can't withstand that terrifying pressure!!

"You're so annoying," Luffy said impatiently. "Didn't I already say no?!"

This guy talks too much. If he wants to fight, just come fight!

Who's afraid of who!

"You actually dare to refuse the invitation of our New Fish-Man Pirates..." Hammond said with icy eyes. "Then you are enemies of us Fish-men!"

"Just sinful humans, nothing special about you!"

"Blehhh!"

Hammond:

Watching Merry fly to Luffy's side, pull down her eyelids, and make a face at him, Hammond was rendered speechless.

Is this human brat provoking him?

"We're not some pirate crew you can push around, Fish-man," Zoro said coldly.

"That's right!"

"Hara hara hara~"

Perona, floating in mid-air, laughed loudly and said, "If you want to kill us, you're not qualified!"

After all, they just have a few Sea Beasts. Those things pose no threat to us!

"Truly arrogant, humans," Hammond said. "In that case... we'll just sink you!"

"Sea Lion!"

"ROAR!!"

Upon receiving the command, the Sea Lion immediately roared, then opened its bloody maw and charged toward the Thousand Sunny.

"Hamon hamon hamon~"

Hammond laughed excitedly. "Die!"

Today, they would completely kill this group of somewhat special humans right here!

"In that case, let me..."

"I'll do it!"

Perona rushed past Meiser, stopping him just as he was about to act, and said, "Leave it to me."

Meiser's identity shouldn't be exposed, so it's better not to use the Water Release Technique in front of others.

Understanding what Perona intended to do, Meiser nodded, then put his hands in his pockets and looked up, clearly waiting for Perona's performance.

"Though I don't know what you're trying to do, you should just give up!" Hammond sneered. "Facing the Sea Lion, you have nowhere to run!"

"Hamon hamon hamon~"

Damn humans, just die!

At that moment, an extra-large Negative Spirit flew out from the Thousand Sunny, charging toward the sea lion at incredible speed!

Fish-men: ???

What is that thing?

In that instant, the fish-men's eyes filled with confusion—it was the first time they had ever seen such a strange creature.

The sea lion's eyes also showed a flicker of doubt, its movements pausing for a brief moment.

"Roar?"

What is this white thing?

After a moment of hesitation, the sea lion's gaze turned fierce once more.

Even if it didn't know what that was, anything daring to charge at it had better be prepared!

With that thought, the sea lion opened its massive jaws and bit down!

The next moment—whoosh—the white ghost passed through the sea lion's body, immediately imposing its negative energy upon it.

Then, the colossal creature, as if struck by an utterly terrifying blow, sank despondently toward the ocean below.

"Well done!" Usopp cheered excitedly.

Truly worthy of the Ghost Woman... this negative power is absolutely terrifying!

"See that!" Merry stuck her tongue out at Hammond again and said, "This is our power!"

"Neener neener!"

Hammond: —

So infuriating!

"What exactly happened?" Ranzou said, puzzled as he looked at the sea lion lying on the seabed. "Did it suffer a fatal blow?"

"Doesn't seem like it... there's no blood flowing." Hammond, having regained his composure, glanced at the sea lion and frowned. "It might be some kind of special Devil Fruit ability."

"A Devil Fruit Ability User, then."

Glancing at the pink-haired woman staring at them, Ranzou instinctively placed his hand on his sword and said, "Then let me cut her down."

Even if he didn't know what ability that human woman was using, as long as he cut her down, it should be fine, right?

"Hmm?"

Sensing the killing intent emanating from Ranzou, Zoro immediately fixed his gaze on him, his hand moving to the sword at his waist.

"A swordsman, huh..."

"Hmm?"

Similarly sensing Zoro's gaze, Ranzou immediately shifted his attention away from Perona and turned to look at Zoro.

"A human swordsman?" Ranzou revealed a somewhat excited expression and said, "I wonder if you can withstand being cut."

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you," Zoro grinned.

Clearly, this swordsman was also itching for a fight.

"I already said, leave it to me!" Perona said.

As she spoke, she used her ability to create several more Negative Spirits, then directed them to fly toward the distant sea beasts. Within a few breaths, she had taken down all of those sea beasts.

Hammond: ...

"So, what exactly is this woman's ability?" Hammond said, nearly frantic.

How did she take down the sea beasts so quickly?

"Never mind, I'll go cut her down first," Ranzou said.

With those words, he swung his eight legs into motion, swiftly charging toward the Thousand Sunny.

"Don't even think about it!" Perona shouted. "Negative Spirit!"

As she spoke, Perona raised her hand and sent a Negative Spirit flying toward Ranzou, clearly intending to take him down as well.

Seeing this, Ranzou drew the sword at his waist without hesitation and slashed at it!

"I'll cut it!"

"Whoosh!"

"Ah... I really want to be a sea toad..."

Hammond: —

Watching Ranzou sink downward in a state of dejection, Hammond was left utterly speechless.

How had this one been taken down too?

Though he didn't understand exactly what was going on with that ability user, he had figured out the effect of their power.

"So it can make people utterly despondent," Hammond frowned. "That really is a troublesome ability."

"Now you know how powerful I am, hara hara hara~"

"Don't celebrate too soon," Hammond sneered at Perona. "We indeed can't block your ability, but it can't kill us either, right?"

The Negative Power could indeed make them lose their fighting strength, but it couldn't kill them!

So... victory would be theirs sooner or later!

Hearing this, Perona gradually withdrew the smile from her face, then said expressionlessly, "You think I have no killing power?"

Was this bastard looking down on her a bit too much?

"Isn't that the case?" Hammond scoffed. "What can you do, trapped inside that Coating?"

"Use cannons?"

"Sorry, but those things aren't very lethal against Sea Beasts."

At most, they could injure the Sea Beasts, but killing them was basically impossible!

Perona fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Then let me show you."

"Explosion Ghost!"

Whoosh! An extra-large Explosion Ghost flew out from behind Perona and swiftly rushed out from inside the ship!

"It's that thing?!"

Seeing that familiar Explosion Ghost, Usopp's expression immediately changed.

He had been badly beaten by that move back in the day.

"Hara hara hara~"

"This move is much more powerful now than before, long-nose!" Perona said.

Just as she spoke, the Explosion Ghost arrived in front of Hammond and charged toward him rapidly.

"Explosion?"

Hammond sneered. "Bluffing, are you? I—"

Before Hammond could finish his sentence, he found the extra-large Explosion Ghost swallowing him whole.

His expression instantly changed.

"Huh?"

Something's wrong!

Why wasn't he feeling the Negative Power?

Could this thing really explode in the sea?

"Damn woman, I—"

Snap

Before he could finish, he saw Perona lightly snap her fingers while softly uttering a single word.

"Boom."

BOOM!!!

The next moment, an incredibly terrifying explosion struck Hammond, blasting him until he was covered in blood, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed.

"Did we get him?"

"After taking this move from me, even if he doesn't die, he'll lose a layer of skin," Perona said.

With that, Perona turned her gaze to the other Fish-men, her eyes becoming somewhat 'friendly.'

"Do you want to give it a try too?"

As soon as she said this, the Fish-men immediately took several steps back in fear, their faces paling.

Seeing this, Perona burst into laughter.

"Hara hara hara~"

"Let's go, no need to bother with these guys," Nami said. "Let's head to Fish-Man Island first."

Fighting in the sea is too disadvantageous after all, so it's better to enter Fish-Man Island first.

This suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

After all, these few Fish-men were nothing in their eyes, so there was no need to waste time here with them.

"But how do we get there?" Chopper said. "Little Squid ran away..."

"We can use the Water Dragon to take us in," Luffy said with a wide grin.

"Can't Meiser just use a Water Release Technique to send them in directly?"

"You idiot, have you forgotten what we said before?" Sanji said irritably.

If Meiser were to expose himself on Fish-Man Island... the World Government would definitely send people to block them here!

By then, whether they could even leave Fish-Man Island would be a question.

And most importantly... Fish-Man Island itself would be destroyed!

And that was clearly not something he wanted to see.

"Oh, right."

Luffy remembered this too, then said somewhat troubled, "Then what should we do..."

Little Squid has already run off, and Meiser can't make a move... so what should they do now?

"How about we go out and just cut them all down," Zoro said, his eyes turning cold.

As long as all these living guys are cut down, no one can expose Meiser's information!

"That's not necessary," Franky said. "We can just use the Coup de Burst to charge right in."

"Charge in?"

Everyone followed Franky's gaze and immediately froze.

Charge directly into that giant bubble?

"That's right, charge in!" Franky said, giving a thumbs up. "There's clouds and air inside, right? So I think charging in shouldn't be a big problem."

Hearing Franky's words, everyone fell silent for a moment, then nodded in unison.

It seems... it really might be feasible!

Nami's expression was somewhat hesitant because she wasn't sure what the situation inside was like.

But right now, there really wasn't any better option, and besides... with Meiser the Ninja here, even if they encountered something extreme, he could protect them!

Thinking this, Nami agreed with Franky's suggestion.

"Since we've decided to use the Coup de Burst to charge in, let's do it," said Meiser, his Mangekyō Sharingan active, staring at the giant bubble high above. "But Fish-Man Island's bubble seems to be double-layered, and there appears to be seawater inside, so there might be some unexpected situations."

"Double-layered, huh."

Nico Robin said, "This is probably Fish-Man Island's method of defending against outsiders."

Without this strange Bubble Membrane, others could easily charge right in!

"Should be," Meiser said.

"Double-layered or not, our ship can still charge through," Franky said. "As for the seawater... we have a Coating anyway, don't we!"

As long as they have the Coating, they're not afraid of seawater!!

This time, Meiser nodded and said nothing more.

"Then what are we waiting for!" Luffy waved his hand and said, "Merry, fire the Coup de Burst!"

"Target: Fish-Man Island!"

"Alright!!!"

Upon receiving the order, Merry immediately began using her ability to take over the Pirate Ship.

Then, the ship's power system started operating, rapidly charging the Coup de Burst.

It was at this moment that the Fish-Man race and Sea Beasts who had been in a depressed state began to recover.

"Damn it, how dare they use that weird power on me," Ranzou said angrily. "I'm going to kill that woman!"

At this moment, his heart was filled with humiliation and rage.

He was Fish-Man Island's number one Great Sword Master!

To be taken down by a human woman using some ability?

This is simply an utter disgrace!

At that thought, Ranzou roared, "Stop lying around, get up!"

"Go and destroy that ship!"

He needed to use these Sea Beasts' bodies to get close to that pirate ship, and then... instantly take out that woman!

"ROAR!!!"

The Sea Beasts, having received the order, climbed to their feet and turned their gaze toward the small pirate ship.

Then, these Sea Beasts, their eyes turning somewhat crimson, let out a roar and charged rapidly toward the Thousand Sunny.

Seizing this opportunity, Ranzou also dashed forward quickly.

"Give me...

"Coup de Burst!"

"BOOM!"

Ranzou: !!"

Watching the Thousand Sunny burst out of the Sea Beast encirclement in an instant, Ranzou was utterly dumbfounded.

"It... it flew away?!"

Staring at the pirate ship speeding toward Fish-Man Island, Ranzou's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Why could a sailing ship fly?

Was that even reasonable?

"Hey, everyone, hold on tight!" Nami shouted. "Don't get thrown off!"

"Got it!!"

Understanding the seriousness of the situation, they immediately grabbed onto anything they could reach, struggling to secure themselves.

Meiser:

Glancing at the two little ones clinging to his leg, Meiser shook his head helplessly, then turned his gaze toward the rapidly approaching Fish-Man Island and said, "I wonder what Fish-Man Island is like."

It's getting more and more exciting. "We'll find out once we get inside," Franky yelled. "Get ready, we're about to crash!"

"Got it!!"

The next moment— "BOOM!!"

The extremely fast Thousand Sunny slammed into the Coating, instantly piercing through the massive Bubble Membrane and charging straight into the interior of the giant bubble!

But at the same time... the Thousand Sunny's Coating was absorbed!

"Hey, why did the Coating break?!" Luffy exclaimed in shock.

Their Coating was actually sucked away by that giant bubble?

Why did that happen?

"What do we do? Without the Coating, we can't enter the sea!" Usopp cried out frantically.

If they, as Devil Fruit Ability Users, entered the sea, it would be over!

"Keep going!" Meiser shouted.

Having come this far, they had no choice but to press forward!

As for the seawater problem... he would handle it. "We really can only charge ahead," Nico Robin said, observing the situation below. "Otherwise, we'll fall back into the sea!"

She knew all too well the consequences of falling into the deep sea ten thousand meters below without a Coating.

"Then let's fire another Coup de Burst!" Franky roared.

With Meiser here, they didn't need to worry about drowning in the sea!

With that thought, Franky activated the Coup de Burst once more.

"BOOM!!"

A terrifying force of impact struck the Thousand Sunny again, propelling the ship straight into the sea ahead.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

The moment they entered the sea, several of the Devil Fruit Ability Users on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship began gulping seawater due to its effects.

At the same time... everyone was caught up in the terrifying Sea currents present there, swiftly swept away in all directions.

"Hel..."

Nami, who was looking at Meiser, hadn't finished speaking when a mouthful of seawater rushed into her mouth. She then began frantically swallowing seawater, her eyes gradually turning white.

Damn it, why is the power of this sea current even more terrifying than the ones we encountered before?

Suppressed by the water pressure, Meiser's expression changed.

He then struggled to activate a Ninjutsu, attempting to use it to free himself from this control.

Water Release: Dance of the Swimming Fish!

"Hum"

In the next moment, a watery membrane began to form on the surface of Meiser's body, gradually covering him completely.

The moment the membrane fully took shape, Meiser's body broke free from the control of the current.

"Phew"

After taking a deep breath, Meiser activated the Shadow Clone Technique.

"Poof"

Several Shadow Clones, each enveloped in a watery membrane, appeared around Meiser. Without hesitation, they rushed toward their companions scattered in all directions.

"Everyone, I'm coming!"
