Xia Yu didn't speak to disturb the three great gods. He put down his reclining chair and stared blankly at the sky.
Although he had been in the Pirate World for seven or eight days, he still felt that everything that had happened during this time was somewhat unreal.
And then there was the system bound to him. At the beginning, it was powerful and aloof, threatening to kill him at the slightest provocation. But after only a day, the system had changed its attitude, and its address of him had gradually changed from "Host" to "Foster Father", as if it were playing around.
At first, he didn't accept missions simply because he didn't want to go through this ridiculous transmigration.
Unlike the miserable backgrounds and various orphan settings of the transmigrators written in many novels he had read, he had a happy life before his transmigration. His parents were successful in their careers and had already prepared over 100 million in fixed assets for him when he graduated from high school.
But before he could even spend it, he was pulled into the Pirate World and bound to a ridiculous system that would kill him if he didn't complete missions.
If he was going to be killed, so be it. Maybe being erased by the system would allow him to return.
However, he had ultimately underestimated the system.
“Hey!”
Suddenly, Xia Yu sighed deeply, pulled out his sunglasses from his bag and put them on. “If you're going to be here, might as well get comfortable!”
The ship was traveling quickly.
Soon, the town was left far behind, and the ship was speeding towards the island closest to the town.
Meanwhile.
On the vast ocean, a medium-sized warship was rapidly approaching from one direction. After entering this sea area, it suddenly turned and sailed towards the same direction as Xia Yu's ship!
On the deck of the warship, two soldiers in naval uniforms stood at the bow. One observed the surroundings with the naked eye, while the other held a telescope and looked towards the distant sea.
The naval soldier with the telescope had just shifted his direction when a large ship suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
When he first saw the large ship, he didn't take it to heart.
After all, the one who was stationed on this warship was none other than the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, the so-called "Hero of the Navy," Garp. Not only would a strange ship not cause any trouble, even the great pirates of the Grand Line would have to turn around and flee at the sight of this warship!
But soon, he noticed something was wrong.
The large ship that appeared in the viewfinder had no masts, no sails, and no flags.
The force propelling the large ship forward at a rapid speed was actually seven or eight large sea beasts.
“This ship is not right!”
Making sure that he hadn't seen things, the soldier quickly lowered his telescope and said to his companion, “Quickly go inform Garp-san, there’s a ship of unknown origin ahead!”
“It’s just a ship, why bother disturbing Garp-san’s rest?”
Before he finished speaking, the soldier suddenly widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at the direction to the right of the warship. He saw that ahead, seven or eight sea beasts were pulling a large ship through the waves. The speed was so fast that their warship couldn't even keep up!
“Nani!”
Seeing the large ship quickly approaching and then sailing alongside their warship, the soldier's eyes almost popped out of his head. “Sea beasts pulling a ship? What’s going on, hey?”
The ship that approached was Xia Yu's.
As Xia Yu's ship drew closer to the warship, the naval soldiers on the warship's deck rushed to the edge of the deck. Some were curious, some were shocked, and most were on guard!
Just then, a hearty laugh came from the cabin.
Then, a silver-haired old man wearing a dog-head mask and the cloak of a Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral walked quickly to the deck.
“Ahahaha, what a beautiful day…”
Before he finished speaking, the silver-haired old man suddenly widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at the ship in the distance being pulled forward at a rapid speed by seven or eight sea beasts.
After a brief moment of astonishment, the old man looked as if he had found a new continent, and excitedly said, “Sea beasts pulling a ship? What’s the deal with those on the other side? Quick, go after them!”
“Garp-san!”
A subordinate ran over. “This ship is of unknown origin, should we force it to stop and check it?”
The one wearing the dog-head mask was none other than the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, the Hero of the Navy, Garp, who would return to the East Blue whenever he had a vacation!
Glancing at the ship that had already passed the warship, Garp waved his hand. “Nonsense, this isn't a pirate ship! Quickly increase speed and chase it. The speed of the sea beasts pulling the ship is actually faster than the warship, don't you find that interesting?”
With Garp’s order, the warship immediately accelerated to pursue the ship ahead.
In a short time, the warship was side by side with the ship again.
As the warship drew closer, Garp finally saw what was going on on the other side's ship.
A young man wearing sunglasses lying on a reclining chair sunbathing, and two rabbits, one red and one green!
Standing at the bow was… a dog?
When he saw that it was the dog standing at the bow who was controlling the sea beasts pulling the ship, his curiosity was piqued again.
Standing at the bow, Ebi-san also noticed the warship that had caught up. He tilted his head and glanced at the warship, then calmly raised his whip!
Snap—
The whip fell, and the seven or eight sea beasts pulling the ship instantly accelerated.
In a matter of moments, the warship was left behind the ship again, and the distance between them was visibly widening!
“Ahahaha, that dog is controlling the sea beasts!”
Confirming that it was the dog controlling the sea beasts to pull the ship, Garp excitedly burst into laughter again. “That’s hilarious, go, go, go, keep increasing speed!”
“Vice Admiral Garp, we’re at our maximum speed!”
The subordinate hurriedly shouted. “Force it to stop, that dog is not right! It’s probably a Devil Fruit user!”
Before Garp could react, the subordinate quickly turned and shouted, “It’s too late, Gunners, prepare! At my command!”
“Ready!”
“Target the sea around the ship!”
“Three-round salvo!”
“Fire!”
Bang bang bang—
Three muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously. Three cannonballs roared out, emitting ear-splitting shrieks as they flew towards the small ship ahead, which had grown smaller due to the distance between them.
Meanwhile.
On the deck of the ship, which had left the warship far behind, the red rabbit who had been intently reading the newspaper suddenly turned his head.
Xia Yu, who had been taking a nap with his sunglasses on, was also awakened by the roaring sound that was getting closer.
When he looked back, the three cannonballs were already within range.
Based on the trajectory of the cannonballs, Xia Yu could still tell that their target wasn't the ship, but the sea around the ship!
It was obvious that the other side was intending to warn them.
However, although Xia Yu had figured out the trajectory of the cannonballs, the red rabbit beside him couldn't care less about all that.
The moment the cannonballs roared towards them, the red rabbit, who had been calmly reading the newspaper, suddenly erupted with an astonishing aura.
The next second, the red rabbit leapt into the air, facing the roaring cannonball, and slapped a palm at it. At the same time, his feet quickly kicked towards the other two cannonballs.
Bang bang bang—
The three cannonballs were hit by the red rabbit almost simultaneously.
Then, miraculously, the cannonballs didn't explode. Instead, they bounced back towards the warship with astonishing speed, as if they had hit a spring.
“The cannonballs are flying back!”
On the deck of the warship, the naval soldiers who saw the cannonballs flying back were instantly thrown into a panic.
Compared to the soldiers’ panic, Garp’s reaction was even more absurd. He could be seen putting his hands over his head, widening his eyes, and exclaiming in an exaggerated manner, “What’s the deal with that rabbit, it actually kicked the cannonballs back!”
“Garp-san, now is not the time to worry about a rabbit!” the subordinate shouted helplessly, quickly drawing his sword to intercept the flying cannonballs.
However, he was one step too late.
The cannonballs that had been swatted back by the red rabbit were even faster than when they were fired.
There were three loud booms, and the cannonballs exploded above the warship.
The terrifying shock waves from the explosions poured down, instantly knocking over more than half of the naval soldiers on the deck.
Those who weren't knocked over were knocked off balance by the shock waves and lost their hearing.
Even Garp, the dog-head mask he was wearing was blown off his head and fell into the sea.
