The ocean beneath the Going Merry didn't just swell; it began to boil with a terrifying, white-hot energy. Amine stood at the center of the deck, his eyes glowing a violent shade of amethyst. In front of him, the system screen was a chaotic mess of red warnings and scrolling lines of overclocked data.
[Warning: Physical Structure 'Going Merry' cannot withstand current pressure.]
[System Suggestion: Execute 'Structural Reinforcement' or face immediate deletion.]
"Nami, hold the rudder! Don't let the 'Flow-Code' slip!" Amine roared over the deafening sound of the rising sea. He slammed his golden stylus onto the main mast. He wasn't just drawing; he was Overclocking. He was forcing the ship's metadata to ignore the laws of gravity and friction.
"I can't hold it, Amine! The wind... it's not wind anymore! It's like the atmosphere is screaming in binary!" Nami cried out, her knuckles white as she gripped the tiller.
"Luffy! Give me your strength! I need a 'Physical Anchor' to bridge the gap between the sea and the cloud-server!" Amine reached out, and as Luffy grabbed his hand, a massive pillar of water shot into the sky. The Merry didn't just sail up; it was 'Uploaded' at light speed. Amine felt his brain burning, his memories of the modern world flickering like a dying candle. He was sacrificing his own 'Data' to keep the crew from disintegrating.
