By now, Nami had finished drawing everything.
But the sea wind was growing even stronger, twisting the water pouring down from the highest fountain of Water City.
It was a clear sign that the Gods of Water were about to arrive.
Ryuen glanced at the abandoned shipyard, then at the rising waves. His expression became more troubled.
In his line of sight, many people were riding bulls, speeding toward the abandoned shipyard.
The ones who had already reached the shipyard, along with their bulls, had begun rescuing the people living there.
They were trying to save the poor residents of the shipyard!
Over the years, Water City had developed a solid plan to deal with the Gods of Water.
But every time they came, the abandoned shipyard was always the first place to be destroyed since it had no real defenses.
And now, the rising waves were on the verge of swallowing it completely!
"I'm done! Let's go back to the villa!" Nami said as she put her pen away and stored all her materials in her pocket space.
"Ryuen, what are you looking at?"
Just as they were about to leave, Kuina noticed Ryuen staring in one direction, frozen in place.
He didn't answer right away, so the others followed his gaze.
"This can't be happening..."
Looking toward the abandoned shipyard, Leah's face turned pale, as if she had remembered something painful from her past.
"We can't just stand here and watch!" Anya said firmly.
"Everyone, let's move!" Ryuen ordered in a deep voice.
The girls responded in unison.
In the next moment, everyone vanished from the highest fountain at Izumi, and within seconds, they had all arrived at the abandoned shipyard!
"Mom, where are you...?"
"Dad, help me! I don't want to die..."
"Ah! Help! I'm stuck!"
"I don't want to die yet!"
As soon as they arrived, the Dream Crew heard cries for help coming from all directions. Without hesitation, they immediately began the rescue.
"Little girl, don't be scared! I'll get you out right away!" Ryuen rushed to a young girl who was calling for help.
"Big brother, help me! I don't want to die~~ Waaah~~" The little girl cried out desperately.
"Don't be scared. You won't die!" Ryuen reassured her gently.
Without wasting a second, Ryuen shattered the slab that had trapped her, carefully avoiding any harm. Then, he picked her up and quickly carried her away.
Near the abandoned shipyard, many doctors and rescue workers were already waiting.
"Dad!" As soon as she reached the rescue point, the little girl spotted her parents and immediately ran toward them.
"Lisa! My daughter!" A middle-aged couple also rushed toward her.
The next moment, the three embraced tightly, overjoyed to have survived. Seeing this, Ryuen couldn't help but smile in relief.
But he didn't stop for long—he quickly returned to the rescue efforts.
"Can someone help me find my husband~~"
"Uncle, where are you~~"
"Grandma, please don't die, waaah~~"
The rescue point was filled with sobs and cries.
The sky had darkened completely, with heavy clouds pressing down, signaling the arrival of the Gods of Water. A sense of fear spread across the island.
Every time the Gods of Water came, the abandoned shipyard suffered the most damage.
Even with Mayor Iceburg leading the efforts, many people and resources were still being swept away by the waves.
"Don't hesitate! Get to higher ground!"
"Everyone, evacuate in an orderly manner! Don't panic!"
"What are you doing? Trying to get yourself killed?" Follow current novᴇls on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt
At the abandoned shipyard, Robin and Leah were directing the evacuation. The moment they spotted anyone deliberately causing chaos, they dealt with them immediately.
At a time , anyone trying to take advantage of the situation didn't deserve forgiveness!
With the Dream Exploration Team's help, the evacuation at the shipyard went much smoother than before. The sheer strength of the Dream Crew kept troublemakers at bay. Even if someone dared to stir up trouble, they were swiftly dealt with.
The people of Water 7, along with the Marines and government officials stationed there, clearly saw everything the Dream Exploration Team was doing.
"They really are the greatest team of this new era!"
"The Dream Exploration Team is amazing!"
"Everyone, we have to remember what they did for us!"
"They're so kind-hearted!"
The rescued citizens and rescue workers alike were full of praise as they watched the Dream Exploration Team in action.
Reporters were also documenting everything happening there.
During the evacuation at the abandoned shipyard, the Dream Crew met Gaban and the Franky Family again.
But there was no time to stop and chat.
The operation continued until every evacuee was safely brought to the shipbuilding center island. Only then did the Water 7 rescue mission slowly come to an end. By that time, the rising tide had almost completely swallowed the lower parts of the city!
From here on, the Dream Crew's job was done. Once the people reached the central island, Iceburg would take care of their resettlement.
After all, the Aqua Laguna never lasted long—at most, a single day.
But this time, its destructive power was stronger than ever!
With the rescue mission over, the Dream Crew returned to their villa lodge.
"I'm exhausted. I didn't expect the wind and waves to be this intense even before the Aqua Laguna hit..." Daisy groaned, flopping onto the couch.
The others were either sitting around in the hall or watching the storm outside.
Meanwhile, Nami had already taken out her measuring tools. She carefully recorded data in her notebook, tracking the weather changes leading up to the Aqua Laguna.
"You know, we saved a lot of people today!" Anya said proudly.
Hearing that, everyone smiled. After all, they had indeed saved many lives.
"Oh yeah! Leah and I ran into Uncle Gaban just now!"
"Speaking of which, Robin and I... we ran into a bunch of weirdos in some freaky outfits..."
"A bunch of kind-hearted perverts!"
