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

the next day,

As the first rays of sunlight illuminated Fishman Island, Charon had already packed his bags. Looking at Dan, who was chattering incessantly beside him, Charon's eyes welled up with tears.

"Grandpa Dan, thank you for raising me all these years. I will definitely become stronger and become a qualified guardian!"

Seeing Charon suddenly become serious, Dan wiped away his moist eyes and hung an ancient seashell amulet around Charon's neck.

"This is a token passed down from generation to generation of tomb keepers. With it, Noah will protect you."

"Are you ready?"

Just as the two were saying goodbye, Roy's voice came from behind them.

Charon wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looking at the Roy Pirates members who were already fully prepared and ready to set off.

He shouldered his pack, bowed deeply to Dan once more, and turned to walk towards Roy and the others.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

Led by Roy, the group left the Sea Forest and headed towards the port.

Roy felt awkward looking at Charon carrying a bundle bigger than a person, and gestured for Pea to keep the bundle for safekeeping.

Just as the handover was taking place, a small seashell bottle slipped out of the bundle and fell to the ground with a "thud."

Several pills emitting an eerie red glow were scattered on the ground.

Roy's expression changed slightly, and with a flick of his finger, the pill on the ground floated into his hand.

"This is......"

"This is E·X, a potent drug specifically formulated for my constitution. Our lineage of ancient fish-men requires specific medications to maintain balance during our growth period..."

Roy certainly knew what it was, but wasn't this the same drug that Hody Jones from Fishman Island later used to enhance his strength?

How did it end up in Charon's possession, especially as a commonly used medicine?

Roy's expression turned serious as he looked at the ominous-smelling pill in his hand.

"How long have you been taking this medicine?"

Charon thought for a moment and answered honestly.

"I think it started when I was about ten years old. I had to take one pill every month. I had to keep taking it until I was twenty, when my blood circulation would stabilize."

"Wow! That's amazing!" Savi and Enel nodded repeatedly, pretending to understand.

Roy handed the pills to Charon, but a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

If this is indeed the E.X drug, used to balance the two bloodlines in Charon's body,

Why did the version Hody Jones used later become so dangerous? Is there some unknown secret behind it?

"Are you sure there's no problem?"

Roy was still a little worried. Charon was now the lifeline of the Roy Pirates, and he couldn't let him be ruined by drugs.

"Ah, no problem, boss!"

"After each use, my strength increases, but my body bears a huge burden."

But Grandpa Dan said that once I fully master the power of my bloodline, I won't need to rely on this medicine anymore.

The pea curiously peered closer to observe.

"This medicinal herb is very special; I can feel the violent power it contains."

Charon put the pills into a bottle and carefully placed it close to his body.

The group arrived at the port, where the Ark Proverb was quietly anchored, with a squad of soldiers from the Dragon Palace guarding it.

As the crowd approached,

The soldiers had just stepped forward when...

"Lord Roy, we are ordered to guard this ship!"

"Now that you've arrived, we should return to the Dragon Palace to report back."

Roy nodded to the somewhat familiar-looking captain of the guards.

"Please give my regards to King Neptune and Queen Otohime!"

After the soldiers left,

Charon then exclaimed in surprise.

"Is this our ship?"

"Hehehe! Pretty impressive, huh!" Tesoro put his arm around Charon's shoulder. "This is a ship that can fly in the sky!"

As everyone boarded the ship, Stella carefully inspected the condition of the Ark's Proverbs.

"They even prepared the coating for the ship's hull for us!"

"It seems the princess and the others value us highly."

Charon stood on the deck, curiously examining the golden ark.

When he saw the golden wings on both sides of the ship, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Can this ship really fly?"

"Hahaha! Of course!"

Tesoro snapped his fingers triumphantly, and the ship's hull immediately crackled with subtle lightning.

"This is the work of God himself!"

"Alright! Savi, you show Charon around the area." Roy clapped his hands. "The rest of you, take your positions, ready to set sail!"

"oh!"

Stella immediately went to the driver's seat and raised the coating.

Tezzolo then strode toward the engine room to check the power reserves.

Savi excitedly pulled Charon along: "Come with me! Let me show you around the kitchen first..."

Suddenly, the entire ship began to shake slightly, and Stella's voice came over the loudspeaker:

"Attention all personnel, we are about to leave Fishman Island and enter the deep sea."

Charon followed Savi quickly to the observation room.

Through the specially designed observation window, he saw the bubble shield of Fishman Island gradually receding into the distance, and the boundless darkness of the deep sea rushing towards him.

"Is this the first time you've seen something like this?" Roy appeared behind them unnoticed. "The deep sea always makes you feel your own insignificance."

Charon nodded, his eyes fixed on the view outside the window.

It was also the first time he had left Fishman Island and seen the seascape through the ship's beams.

Occasionally, luminous deep-sea creatures swim by, leaving dazzling trails of light in the darkness.

"Large biological reaction detected ahead!" Stella suddenly warned. "It's a sea king!"

"Let me do it! In the deep sea, we fish-men can unleash our full potential!"

"Be careful!"

Seeing that Charon had volunteered, Roy nodded in agreement.

Charon leaped off the deck, took a deep breath, and nimbly darted through the coating into the sea.

His dark green scales blended almost seamlessly with the sea, and if it weren't for the fact that he was wearing trousers, it would be almost impossible to spot him with the naked eye.

With a swift movement, he shot across hundreds of meters like an arrow.

"Fishman Karate - Ultimate Technique: Ocean Current Shoulder Throw!"

Grabbing one of the giant squid's tentacles with both hands, he stirred up the surrounding seawater and, using the power of the ocean current, actually flung the enormous creature away.

"That's awesome!" Savi shouted excitedly on the boat.

Barrett and Hawkeye both nodded in satisfaction at Charon's clean and decisive decision-making.

Charon returned to the ship and, seeing everyone's eyes on him, smiled sheepishly.

"In fact, in the deep sea, we fish-men can exert ten times the power we have on land."

"It seems that bringing you along was indeed a wise decision."

Roy patted Charon on the shoulder approvingly.

With the danger over, everyone dispersed. Roy sat down cross-legged and activated Life Return, with wisps of smoke rising from his body.

The Ark Proverb continues its voyage in the deep sea, its hull coating emitting a faint blue light that illuminates its path.

Charon stood at the bow of the ship, feeling an unprecedented sense of mission.

At this moment, he truly became an indispensable member of the Roy Pirates.
