Elmos shook his head, his excitement growing as he looked at the gradually becoming clearer outline of the island.
"Hey, Samuel, speed things up and get us to Meng Island faster!"
"Whew, that's perfect. I also thought the speed was too slow. Let's adjust the distance to ten minutes."
Samuel let out a strange laugh and turned the hands of the clock on his chest, setting it to ten minutes later.
His 'Clock-Clock Fruit' ability allows him to rapidly accelerate time, almost equivalent to skipping it. However, the events that occur during this time will still happen and are uncontrollable; even he himself cannot do anything during the skipped time.
However, given their current situation, they will arrive at Moe Island in ten minutes. Such firepower is incredibly easy for Moe Island, which is rumored to be a naval base for a single navy unit.
No one can stop them.
"Time, turn!"
As Samuel spoke, the surrounding environment rapidly blurred into afterimages; under the immense power of time, everything accelerated.
Elmos slowly closed his eyes, revealing a sinister smile. He could already foresee that when he opened his eyes again, he would reach the port of Meng Island, and then use his giant ships, heavy cannons, and this group of powerful pirates and his subordinates to completely occupy the island!
Once he controls Meng Island, seizes the air routes, and sells the weapons, his status will rise even higher.

He tried to struggle, but felt no strength at all. His body was too heavy; in this state, he must have been submerged in the sea for a long time.
He caught a glimpse of the side out of the corner of his eye, then his eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
All around him were shipwrecks, pirates and their men lay motionless in the sea, long since lifeless, while the two great pirates he relied on, 'Pain Man' and 'Clockwork Man', had long since sunk into the sea like corpses.
"This is..."
Elmos opened his mouth, but his physical condition no longer allowed him to be conscious. He rolled his eyes, swallowed another mouthful of water, and sank into the seabed.
On the high seas, at the original location of the fleet, Kuro scratched his head in the sky. He looked at the shipwrecks floating on the sea and some corpses that had floated up, and made a very puzzled sound.
"Um?"
