Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers

Those who have not witnessed the Ark of Passion up close will never be able to appreciate the majesty that makes people worship.

……………………

In the sea area at the front entrance of the Fishman Island, a huge ark even larger than the Fishman Island was slowly approaching on the current.

Just the currents brought about by sailing have already made the watchtower of the Border Guard crumbling. The team members were horrified to find that the impenetrable ancient walls in the watchtower were creaking and muffled, and the sea beasts raised around them had already dispersed.

"Captain...what the hell is that..." Even the long-suspended Noah's Ark was not as big as 1/3 of this mysterious ark. The members of the Border Guard were so frightened that they couldn't hold their tridents steady.

"No matter what it is... If it is allowed to approach Murloc Island again, Murloc Island will be really dangerous!! Sound the alarm! The second team will notify Dragon Palace City, and everyone else will attack with me!"

The captain of the Border Guard is a tiger-headed shark named 'Mar-Vell'. He immediately dispatched the second team composed of the most mobile mermaids back to Dragon Palace City to report, while he brought the rest of the team to fight to the death.

Absolutely don't let this [monster] get close to Murloc Island! !

At the harbor at the entrance of Fishman Island, people are warmly welcoming Princess Otohime who has returned safely. Neptune, Neptune, brought the prince and princess to the scene, and the family reunited happily.

But the harsh siren broke the happy atmosphere.

The minister on the right looked at the sky in horror, "The [Nautilus], which the Border Guard only sounds when it encounters a major crisis! What happened!?"

The shrill sirens kept echoing over Murloc Island, and the joyful mood of the people suddenly turned into panic and panic. The last time [Nautilus] sounded was more than ten years ago. Large-scale pirates invaded Murloc Island and captured mermaids as slaves. The entire Murloc Island was on the verge of destruction. Fortunately, the Whitebeard Pirates Arriving in time, relying on the power of the strongest man in the world to protect the Murloc Island.

Is today going to reproduce the tragedy of that day again?

Suddenly, someone pointed to the 'sky' in the distance and yelled in horror, "Look!! That, what is that!!??"

Everyone looked up and saw a black shadow in the shape of a ship slowly approaching the fishman island in the distance outside the bubble of the fishman island.

Its size is even larger than that of Murloc Island. Once a collision occurs, the Murloc Island is bound to be completely destroyed.

"That's... what?" Neptune Neptune's face was extremely ugly, no matter how powerful his personal power is, it would be useless in front of such a huge battleship, right?

Princess Otohime, who was holding the princes and princesses, turned pale with fright, but suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed, "That's... that's a murderous chain!!"

"Queen, what is a fierce chain?" The eldest prince Sha Xing raised his head in doubt and asked.

"Ah, the queen mother was wrong. The chain of evil is a person, not a ship." Otohime calmed down, and then explained to everyone who was looking at her, "If I remember correctly, that huge ark should be the new Shichibukai] Mafia Victor's car of 'The Fierce Chain' - [Passionate Ark]! A few days ago I was... I saw that ship on land. At that time, it was undergoing coating transformation in the waters of the Chambord Islands. I didn't expect it to complete the coating transformation so quickly and come to Murloc Island."

"Ah! It's Brother Victor!" At this time, the "Seaman" Jinbe who had rushed over after hearing the siren also saw the huge ark in the distance, and recognized the logo on the sail of the Ark of Passion at a glance.

"Jinbei, is this Viktor, the 'bad chain', an enemy or a friend?" Sea King Neptune hurriedly asked when he saw a sensible person.

Jinbe laughed loudly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty Neptune. Brother Victor is very friendly to our murlocs, and Master Gosetsu is also under his command!"

"Haoxue? Great, great..." Hearing Haoxue's name, Neptune immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If one were to ask the strongest murloc karate player in active service, the world might say that it was Jinbe the Seaman. But Neptune knew that the real murloc karate was the strongest, none other than Haoxue.

The crowd exclaimed again, and Neptune and Jinbe hurriedly turned their heads to look, and saw that the speed of the Ark of Passion in the distance gradually slowed down, and the organs on both sides of the bow were opened, releasing a huge anchor.

…………

The sea area at the frontal entrance of Fishman Island.

"The No. 4 decompression chamber is open!! The anchor's descending speed is 36/32! The No. 1 team slows down the right anchor's descending speed, which is consistent with the No. 2 team!!"

"The No. 1 mainsail containment progress completed 100!"

"The containment progress of the second sail is 100!"

"No. 3 sail chain power system is safe! Sail containment progress 80... 82... 85..."

"Captain Jiger has instructions! Team No. 3 immediately sends a light signal to Murloc Island with the content [No hostility, please chat]!"

"Team No. 4 reports! There is no abnormality in all areas inside the ark! There is no abnormality in the coating!"

For a huge island ship like the Ardent Ark, even a simple stop requires the cooperation of everyone. Fortunately, the crew of 'Coral' is second to none even in the great voyage, and Franky's power system is very complete. Even so, the three shipwright captains, Bingshan, Jiger, and Franky, kept a close eye on the monitoring data of the Ark, not daring to be negligent.

At the bow [viewing area], Perona was complaining to Haoxue depressedly, "Master, where is this 10,000 meters under the sea? At least it's almost 20,000 meters!"

Haoxue laughed loudly, "Ha! Ha! Ha! [10,000 meters under the sea] is a general term used to describe the unfathomable depth of the sea. Otherwise, if our Passionate Ark is poked upside down, it will go straight to the end. Generally speaking, the location of the "Dark Street" on the seabed is 3,000 to 6,000 meters, and the submarine volcano is at about 8,000 meters. Further down is the bottomless trench, and the fish here are all the way to the bottom. The location of the Island of Man."

"But it's so dangerous!" Wu Hongji stuck out her tongue, "I almost got stuck in the huge hole under the red earth continent, and the eruption of the submarine volcano is also terrible!"

"Hehehe~ It almost turned into a [Fiery Ark] with all the coke~" Robin caressed his face and said terrible words with a smile.

"Sister Robin! Your thoughts are too dark, right?" Perona and Matthew yelled in fright.

Victor smiled slightly, "Haoxue, Robin, Perona, Wu Hongji, Luo, Matthew, you guys will follow me on the 'Beagle' to Fishman Island."

"This will be our first stop on our way to the 'New World'."
