Hearing the words "Dawn Bird," Lucci's pupils constricted.
As a member of the special intelligence agency CP9, Lucci knew more than ordinary Marines.
Dawn Bird was not to be trifled with!
Fortunately, the Fleet Admiral's order was only to observe.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral."
After hanging up, Lucci's face darkened.
He said, "Mission change: Observe Dawn Bird!"
Dawn Bird's emergence was like a storm, creating immense waves on the Grand Line!
"Did you hear? Zero's in Water 7!"
"Water 7?! Isn't that the shipbuilding place?"
"Why are they there? So openly!"
"This is a declaration of war!"
On the Grand Line, delivery birds diligently delivered newspapers.
Pirates and bounty hunters near Water 7, upon hearing the news, secretly went to Water 7.
They wanted to join this powerful organization!
Admiral White Dove was the strongest and youngest admiral in Navy history!
His future was limitless.
Yet, even he couldn't defeat Zero.
Zero's island-sinking slash had made him legendary!
Unknowingly, Zero had become a legend.
This attracted many who wanted to join.
Ryuya ignored the influx of pirates and bounty hunters.
The Noah Ark descended from the sky, approaching Water 7.
Compared to the Noah Ark, Water 7 seemed smaller.
The group, cloaked, floated down.
Then, Ryuya heard the system's voice.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on receiving the check-in reward: MAX Ship Spirit. MAX Ship Spirit can be bound to any ship, and once bound, cannot be unbound. The bound ship will awaken to the Ship Spirit's maximum potential and will absolutely obey the host's commands!]
Ryuya immediately thought of the Noah Ark!
It already had a Ship Spirit, but it was weak.
Binding the MAX Ship Spirit would grant immense power!
Ryuya decided to do this later.
They arrived in Water 7.
Ryuya wore a black cloak with red auspicious clouds, similar to Akatsuki's robes.
Kuina wore a white cloak with black patterns, resembling Yin and Yang.
This was inspired by Ryuya's teachings.
Robin and Olvia wore purple cloaks
with spider lily embroidery, looking alluring.
Nami and Nojiko's cloaks had berries and oranges, respectively.
Ace and Weevil wore plain gray cloaks.
Ace called it discriminatory treatment!
Walking through Water 7, residents instinctively avoided them.
Though Dawn Bird hadn't done anything wrong, due to Navy propaganda, people saw them as evil.
Ryuya ignored this. Victory would rewrite their image.
They reached Tom's shipyard.
Tom was working on a large table.
Tom was a bullfish fish-man.
Obese but incredibly strong, capable of lifting a ship alone.
He was second to none in shipbuilding.
Tom recognized Ryuya.
Even Tom, a dedicated craftsman, knew Zero's name.
"Yes, Mr. Tom. I need you to build a ship for us."
Ryuya pulled his hood lower.
He shook his head, "The Navy won't forgive me. I built a ship for Gol D. Roger. I tried to atone with the Puffing Tom, but they won't forgive me!"
Tom sighed, his aura subdued.
Before Ryuya could speak, Ace blurted out, "You built a ship for Roger?!"
Ace looked at Tom excitedly.
"Yes, it's not a secret. Many know."
"But I don't regret it. That ship was my greatest masterpiece!"
This only happened when Tom spoke of his passion. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
