Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

"Now that you mention it, I can picture it in my mind—a place beyond the unbelievable, where the four seas meet? Interesting..."

"Such a challenging task, I, Nami, will take it!"

"A heroine among women..."

Hai gave a thumbs-up, preparing to offer some praise.

Tick ​​tock!

Suddenly, the raindrops and the howling stopped abruptly.

Chapter 120 Flying Slash!

what happened?

The darkness instantly turned into light.

Looking at the sky that had turned into a clear blue, Hai was somewhat surprised and had a vague feeling that something was wrong. His [weather perception], which was integrated with his sense of touch, seemed to be conveying something.

Is the weather already changing so abnormally before we've even reached the Grand Line?

"what happened?"

Seeing that Hai was suddenly looking up at the sky, Nami looked up in confusion, and her expression changed immediately when she saw what he was looking at.

"No way... How could this be! We could have reached the entrance by following the waves..."

Ok?

Seeing Nami's expression turn serious, Hai asked in surprise, "Is this weather change dangerous?"

"Didn't you feel it?"

Slowly raising her right hand, Nami said solemnly, "There hasn't been a single breeze, and even the sea is so calm! We've entered the Calm Belt..."

"The Calm Belt?"

Turning to look at the calm sea, upon hearing the word "Hai," I couldn't help but think of the Sea King region that appeared in the original work.

impossible?

We haven't even reached the Grand Line yet, and we've already entered the territory of the Sea Kings?

Or does it simply mean the eye of the typhoon?

"Hey! Look..."

From the lookout tower, Usopp pointed into the distance and shouted, "The weather has suddenly become strange! There's a storm raging across the sea, but here there's not a breath of wind..."

Suddenly.

Hearing the shouts, people emerged from every corner of the ship.

"Really! There's not a breath of wind..."

"The weather has cleared up..."

"How is this going?"

"..."

"It's too late to explain!"

Nami hurried to the wheelhouse and shouted urgently, "You guys think of something! Put down the sails... Even if we have to row, we have to get the boat out into the storm!! Hurry, or something bad will happen..."

"Don't panic, Nami!"

After telling Zoro, Sanji, and the others to retrieve the sails, Hai calmly asked, "The more dangerous the situation, the less we should rush. Tell us what happened first, and then we'll all figure out a solution!"

huh~~~

"Sorry, I'm a little nervous..." Nami took a deep breath and said with a slightly serious expression, "Our ship is currently drifting south..."

"However, the Grand Line is sandwiched between two narrow seas!"

"In other words, this windless sea area is the Calm Belt on both sides of the Grand Line!"

"Tell the important point!"

As if confirming his thoughts, Hai's expression became subtly solemn.

"【No Wind】, as the name suggests, means there's no wind!" Nami said. "Most importantly, this windless sea is... the lair of Sea Kings! And a gigantic one at that..."

The voice just fell.

The ship suddenly trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

next moment.

Wow!

As everyone stared in disbelief, they moved further and further away from the sea, and then several giant sea monsters, hundreds of meters long, emerged from the ocean.

Meanwhile, the Going Merry, on which they were, was being lifted into the air by a giant zebra-colored sea monster.

Seeing that the Going Merry was smaller than the eyes of a giant sea king, everyone on board fell silent in shock.

These are real sea kings...

Standing at the bow of the ship, gazing at the sea kings, each with a different shape and dozens or hundreds of times larger than the manatees from last time, Hai couldn't help but marvel.

After all, compared to the anime he had seen before, this was a truly wondrous creation that had appeared before him!

Just by looking at the size of these creatures, you can see just how vast and enormous this world is.

Wow!

At this moment, several sea kings that had come up to breathe began to dive back into the sea.

Gudong!

Noki swallowed hard and whispered:

"Are we going to get eaten up by them?"

"That's not even enough to fill their teeth, hahaha..."

Turning to look at the still shocked and solemn crowd, Hai waved his hand with a smile.

"Don't worry, the Going Merry is like a shrimp to them, it won't attract any attention at all..."

"Once this giant sea monster dives underwater, you row the boat and I'll push it..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Well……

Achoo!

A sudden sneeze from the giant sea king sent the Going Merry flying.

This caused everyone, who hadn't even had a chance to react, to be thrown straight off the deck into the air.

ahhh-

Not only Nami and Nojiko, but even Kaya couldn't help but shout out.

call out!

In an instant, Hai appeared at the top, his transparent ripples condensing and blasting Nami, Zoro, Usopp, and the others back onto the deck.

Guagua...

On the right, the smallest of the giant sea kings, which resembled frogs, seemed to regard them as mosquitoes, and opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth to pounce on the Going Merry.

See this.

His body sank slightly in mid-air. Hai opened his sharp double pupils, gripped the snow-white scabbard of the Totsuka Sword with his left hand, and suddenly grabbed the hilt with his right.

【Full Moon Sword Drawing Technique】!

Zheng!

Accompanied by a faint sound of being drawn from its sheath.

The Ice Mark and the Full Moon flashed past the giant frog from afar.

In an instant.

A blade of energy, carrying a flow of air and stretching for over ten meters, slashed fiercely at the giant frog's eye, creating a deep wound that exposed bone.

croak——

A fierce roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

On the windless sea, enormous sea kings emerged from the seabed.

The giant frog, stained with blood, became a prime target for many sea monsters.

Tsk!

"It's only a flying slash that's a dozen meters long..."

Seeing that he hadn't managed to cut the opponent's giant frog brain in half, Hai shook his head slightly in disappointment. Clearly, his first use of the Flying Slash was rather disappointing in terms of power.

"This means my swordsmanship isn't strong enough yet... Right, now that I can fly and slash, my swordsmanship level should change, right?"
