One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

The capabilities of the Ark Maxim far exceed everyone's expectations.

Under Tezzolo's control, this giant golden ship could not only sail smoothly on the sea,

It can also fly in the air with the help of lightning, truly achieving dual-use in the sea and air.

"That's amazing!"

Savi excitedly ran around on the spacious main deck, where the observation deck at the bow, inlaid with solid, transparent crystal, offered a clear view of the sea below.

"This is much more spacious than the White Dove!"

Enel, on the other hand, was particularly interested in the hemispherical driver's cab.

The place was filled with golden instruments and lightning patterns, and Tesoro was pestering him to explain the principles behind them.

After her initial sadness, Stella quickly immersed herself in getting to know the new ship.

As a navigator, she needed to master the ship's various functions as quickly as possible.

"The ship has excellent stability and is very maneuverable..."

Stella muttered to herself as she took notes.

"However, the maintenance of the gold-plated hull may require special attention."

In the living area on the lower deck, everyone found their own space.

Barrett and Hawkeye had already taken over the private training room at the stern of the ship, which was reinforced with a special material mixed with seastone powder, strong enough to withstand their sparring.

The sound of clanging weapons clashing could be heard from the training room from time to time, clearly indicating that the two were testing the effects of training in the new environment.

Pea is busy in his sunny botanical garden, a special room connected to an open-air deck that has been planted with a variety of spice plants and fast-growing vegetables.

"Soon everyone will be able to enjoy the freshest ingredients."

The pea looked at the thriving plant with satisfaction.

Just then, a startled cry came from the lookout tower:

"Boss! A ship is approaching! It's the navy!"

Upon hearing Chansawi's call, everyone on board immediately went into battle mode.

In the distance, three naval warships were rapidly approaching, forming an encirclement on the sea surface.

"It seems our whereabouts have been exposed."

"Should we fight?"

Watching Barrett begin to stretch his muscles, Roy pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, it's perfect for testing the Ark Maxim's flight capabilities."

"Tezoro activates flight mode. Let's give the Navy a 'surprise'."

Tezzolo grinned, strode into the driver's seat, and placed his hands on the control panel.

Suddenly, the golden wings on both sides of the ship began to crackle with lightning, and the entire ship slowly rose into the air.

The soldiers on the naval warship stared in disbelief at the scene.

"Hey! You're kidding, right?!"

"That enormous golden ship actually took to the air!"

"Is this the time for you to be saying these things, you bastard!?"

"Fire! Fire now!"

The naval commander shouted at the top of his lungs.

However, the cannonballs could not reach the Ark Proverb, which was flying higher and higher.

Tezzolo steered the ship with smug satisfaction, circling gracefully above the navy.

"Should we teach them a lesson, boss?"

"No need. Our goal is Fishman Island; there's no need to waste time here."

Roy glanced one last time at the tiny, toy-like warships below, then turned and gave the order:

"Full speed ahead, destination—Fishman Island!"

"yes!"

Tesoro increased the power output and controlled "Proverb" to fly rapidly towards the Sabaody Archipelago. In just a few breaths, it disappeared from the sight of the marines below.

During the flight, Stella carefully compared the nautical charts.

"At this speed, we should be able to reach Chambord in half a day at most, but where do we need to get the coating applied? Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to do it directly like this?"

"No coating needed! It will sink directly upon arrival in Chambord!"

Roy stood at the bow of the ship, and under Stella's questioning gaze, he slowly raised his hands, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted forth.

A massive protective shield gradually formed, completely enveloping the entire Ark of Proverbs.

"This is my psychic shield, which is more robust than a coating."

"This...is incredible! This will save us a lot of time."

Stella swung her feathered arrow to test the strength of the shield, then cheered with delight.

As the outline of the island of Sabaody appears in the distance.

Without pausing for a moment, Roy, under the astonished gazes of countless people below, drove the golden-red Ark Proverb straight to the edge of the island.

"Prepare to descend!" Roy commanded.

The "Proverb" hovered briefly in mid-air before plunging headlong into the sea below.

Protected by the psychic shield, the ship sank into the sea without any obstruction, creating huge waves.

As you venture deeper, the surrounding light gradually dims.

Upon seeing this, Tezzolo immediately turned on the ship's lighting equipment.

Several beams of light shot out, standing out brightly in the dark depths of the sea.

The colorful fish were attracted by this unusual sight and curiously swam around the outer edge of the protective shield.

"Wow! It's so beautiful..."

Savi, Enel, and Pea leaned against the crystal window of the observation deck, marveling at the underwater world they had never seen before.

Stella carefully inspected the shield's condition, a relieved smile appearing on her face: "The shield is very stable; the water pressure is completely blocked."

Roy stood at the bow, also admiring the spectacular scenery around him.

As the ship sank,

A massive underwater waterfall appeared ahead, with countless drops of seawater cascading down an unseen cliff, creating a spectacular deep-sea wonder.

"It's a deep-sea current; this is the main shipping route to Fishman Island."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's move forward!"

Guided by Stella, Ark Proverb descended with the ocean currents and soon reached the deep sea.

"Attention! Large creature approaching!"

As Barrett finished speaking, a gigantic deep-sea king slowly swam out of the darkness, its eyes alone almost larger than the Ark Proverb it was riding.

"A monster...a monster!"

Enel, who was seeing such a large creature for the first time in the observation room, was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, pointing at the huge sea king in front of him.

"Hahaha!"

"Don't worry, Enel, it's a Sea King. With the boss and the others here, everything will be fine."

Savi and Pea helped Enel up, barely suppressing their laughter, but their trembling shoulders betrayed their attempt to hold back their smirks.

Enel's face flushed red, and he stubbornly retorted,

"Who, who's scared! I just lost my balance!"

As the ship moved, the sea king curiously swam around the shield, its enormous eye pressed against the surface of the shield, observing the people inside the ship.

Should we chase it away?

"No need for that! It can't break through the shield."

Seeing the electricity gathering in Tesoro's hand, Roy waved his hand and continued to observe the strange sights around him.

Sure enough, the sea kings lost interest after observing for a while and slowly swam towards the deeper parts of the ocean, swinging their huge tail fins.

"At a depth of 5,000 meters, we are about to enter the waters surrounding Fishman Island. We have already been able to detect the unique life signals of Fishman Island."

"Full speed ahead, let's see what this underwater paradise is all about."

As Roy listened to Stella's report on the latest developments, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Protected by the psychic shield, Ark Proverb, like a bright pearl in the deep sea, steadfastly sailed towards Fishman Island.
