Tianqi stared at the black hair carefully for a moment, and then he realized that he could indeed vaguely find the shadow of the empress in this girl. She really was Hancock, the empress of the Women's Kingdom. The word "fate" is truly wonderful!
"Captain, why are you staring at Hancock? You don't mean you have feelings for her, do you?" Shanks made various lewd gestures at Tianqi.
Hancock blushed deeply upon hearing this and shyly hid behind her sister, unable to look Tianqi in the eye.
“It’s normal to have ideas, right? Although Gao Kuke is a bit young, she’s definitely a beauty in the making. She’ll be a stunning beauty when she grows up, hehe…” Beckman also had a lewd look on his face. This guy usually pretends to be cool but is actually a pervert.
"Stop talking nonsense and don't scare them. Let's set off for Fishman Island!" Tian Qi glanced at the two unserious guys and said calmly.
Even if he had ideas, he would be the empress with long hair, not the little girl he is now. He's not that kind of beast.
"Yes, yes, we'll go right away!" Beckman and Shanks went out to set sail upon hearing this.
As Tianqi and his group headed towards the Fishman Island, which was 10,000 meters deep, more than a dozen warships arrived at the sea where Tianqi had fought before. Seeing the wreckage of the warships floating on the sea, Zhan Guo was furious.
"Well done, Uchiha Tenchi! I swear in the name of a Marine Admiral, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will capture you and imprison you in Impel Down for all eternity!" Sengoku roared furiously.
He never expected that by the time he arrived just a few minutes late, all eight warships had been reduced to wreckage, and the thousand marines on board were either dead or wounded, leaving only a pitiful hundred men. How could he not be furious?
"Admiral Sengoku, according to the surviving soldiers, Lord Bilge, a Celestial Dragon from the World Noble, was also among these eight warships. Now that the warships have been sunk, I'm afraid..." Doberman said with a grim expression. Four Celestial Dragons had died in one day. If this got out, what face would the World Government have left?
"Aaaaaah! Damn it, damn Uchiha Tenchi, I will never let you get away with this!" Sengoku was furious. He hated Tenchi even more than the Pirate King Roger. This guy who appeared out of nowhere had caused him so much trouble. He was utterly despicable.
Tianqi had no idea what Zhan Guo was thinking. At this moment, he stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the strange creatures on the seabed with great curiosity. Sea beasts that were tens of meters long were everywhere, and there were even large sea kings whose size surpassed that of tailed beasts, which made Tianqi sigh with amazement.
These sea kings are enormous, but it's unknown whether their attack power is as strong as that of the tailed beasts. If they are comparable to the tailed beasts, then it would be possible to tame a few of them. With that in mind, Tianqi activated his Sharingan to try controlling a few sea kings.
However, just as Tianqi was about to test the waters, Shanks suddenly said, "Captain, we have reached a depth of 8,000 meters in the deep sea. Next, we need to stimulate the eruption of the volcano below and rush directly into Fishman Island!"
"Alright, I'll leave this to you!" Upon hearing Shanks' words, Tianqi also closed his Sharingan. Since the time to test the power of the Sea King Beast was approaching, he decided to postpone it for later.
However, at that moment the water pressure became unstable, and dozens of pirate ships rushed towards them from the front, their faces filled with terror, as if there was something terrifying behind them.
"Oh, it seems we don't need to stimulate the volcano anymore. Someone has already done it for us!" Tianqi squinted at the front, realizing that this was a sign that the volcano was about to erupt.
"Hehe, what good luck! We didn't expect to be able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor right away. These guys are doing a really good job. Judging from the current situation, the sea of fire will erupt in a few minutes. Before that, we must be prepared. The updraft from the volcanic eruption is quite powerful. If we're not careful, our ship will be destroyed!" Shanks said with some seriousness. If the ship disintegrates, they will surely die in this deep sea at a depth of more than 8,000 meters.
"Everyone adjust the sails, 50 degrees downwards! Beckman, activate our jets! Once the volcano erupts, use the volcanic airflow and the jets to rush into Mermaid Island!" Shanks shouted the command.
"Yes! Understood!"
Knowing the importance of the matter, Beckman, Shanks, and the others all acted according to the instructions of their first mate, Shanks. They had previously installed jet propulsion devices on the stern to use the volcano's thrust to rush in.
At this moment, Tianqi also activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Susanoo covered the entire ship in the form of armor. With the defensive power of Susanoo, the ship would not disintegrate. Moreover, if necessary, Tianqi would unleash his full power to violently push aside the seawater and enter Fishman Island. He could do it now!
Shanks and the others smiled as they watched their captain's Susanoo transform into a protective shield around the ship. With such a captain, they felt reassured. With the Susanoo's defensive capabilities, they didn't need to worry about the ship disintegrating. All they had to do now was control the ship and the airflow to ensure their safe entry into Fishman Island.
Soon, a huge airflow shot up like a tornado, stirring up the seawater. Some weak and slow ships disintegrated and were not even found in fragments. The pirates were crushed and not even their corpses were left.
Tian Qi frowned slightly as he looked at the terrifying air currents. He knew that even if he wasn't careful, he could be seriously injured by the powerful forces of nature. The power of nature was truly terrifying.
"Boom! Boom!"
As the airflow reached the hull of the Tianqi, Beckman seized the opportunity to activate the thrusters, following the trajectory of the airflow and plunging down at an extremely high speed towards the seabed. The ship's speed was almost at its limit, and with the defensive support of Susanoo, the hull almost always crashed into reefs and the corpses of sea kings as it moved forward.
"Help! Help!"
Unlike Tianqi's conquering pirate crew, those dozens of pirate ships were almost instantly crushed by the air currents. Shouts and screams echoed continuously. Trying to enter Fishman Island without some strength was simply courting death. You should know that Fishman Island is not a place that just anyone can enter. Without a large pirate crew or someone familiar to guide you, it's not so easy to get in.
Hancock and the others were already lying on the ground, clinging tightly to objects to steady themselves. With such a huge impact, they could be thrown off at any moment if they didn't hold on to something. Tianqi, on the other hand, was standing still. With the chakra beneath his feet holding him steady, he was as stable as a rock and didn't need to be in such a sorry state at all.
With the powerful airflow and jet propulsion, the ship reached its maximum speed. In just a few seconds, they were swept into another world. There were no more volcanoes or airflows, only an island emitting colorful light that appeared and disappeared in the distance.
"That's right, that's right, this is the place I've been before, Fishman Island! Captain, we've arrived!" Shanks pointed ahead excitedly. Back then, he came here under the protection of Captain Roger, and many years later, he returned here again as the first mate and with his own strength. This feeling was simply wonderful.
Tian Qi nodded, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the world 10,000 meters deep in the ocean. This depth of sea was beyond the reach of even Earth's technology, and now they had reached it with just a small boat—it was simply a dream come true.
He was also filled with curiosity about the mermaid Tianqi. In his previous life, he had heard too many legends about mermaids, and he was full of anticipation to see him in person today.
"Beckman, find a place to moor the boat, we're going to land on the island!" Tianqi said calmly, he couldn't wait to see the mermaids for himself.
“Yes, Captain!” Beckman was also full of anticipation, as was Hancock and the other two.
A dozen minutes later, Tianqi and his group stopped the boat and officially set foot on Mermaid Island.
"We've reached the vicinity of Mermaid Island. There's land here, but no seawater. Even Devil Fruit users can survive here!" Shanks excitedly told everyone.
Tian Qi was astonished as he stepped onto land. In this place underwater, the seawater was separated from the land, making it seem like an independent little space. It was simply amazing.
