I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

In the world of One Piece, the most advanced ships are naturally the Navy's warships. These warships are produced in the shipyard of Water Seven, are expensive to build, have fierce firepower, and a standard warship can accommodate hundreds or thousands of Navy personnel.

In comparison, pirate ships are much more pathetic. Most pirate ships are far inferior to the navy in terms of size and firepower, and do not have the ability to confront the navy fleet head-on at sea. Once they encounter each other, they can only engage in close combat and boarding battles.

Zephyr also defected from the navy and no longer had a high-performance naval fleet. Only then did he realize the advantages of naval warships in comparison.

But the revolutionary army's ships now surprised Zephyr as well.

"It's not bad." Long Da, standing next to him, readily admitted, also expressing some感慨 (feelings of admiration/reflection).

"However, in terms of ships, we mainly relied on the funding of certain insightful people to purchase them at great expense. Of course, we also accumulated them gradually over the years. After all, having ships but no people is useless."

The Four Emperors are local warlords in the New World, essentially tyrants. The Revolutionary Army, on the other hand, is a world-class force; after years of dormancy, it now possesses substantial military power in all five major oceans of the globe.

"Of course, it still can't compare to Sig's ship." Long then turned to look at the Dushan:

After being modified by Barrett and Tom, the ship was fitted with a layer of Valpo alloy armor, making it look like a metal fortress at sea from a distance, unlike any other ship in this world.

"There's no need to be so modest," Zefa said, sparing no praise.

"Your fleet is very powerful. As long as you don't compare it to Sig's ship, although it is still different from the main fleet of the navy, basically no other power's ships can compare with yours."

"If you want to be an enemy of the World Government, this is just the bare minimum," Dragon replied.

"I greatly admire what the NEO Navy has done in recent years..."

The two chatted idly on the deck for a while, glancing at their watches from time to time.

Their alliance had just been formed when Sigurd went to Fish-Man Island and said he needed the Revolutionary Army to send people to meet him. Given that this was the first cooperation between the three parties, Dragon took it very seriously and came with a large army.

“It’s time. Sig should be heading back from Fishman Island soon.” Zephyr leaned against the ship’s railing, gazing at the deep blue sea below.

"However, the sea area he agreed to is a bit close to the calm zone. This place is quite close to the lair of sea kings, which is indeed a bit dangerous."

They vaguely sensed movement beneath the surface of the sea; it seemed that Sieg was about to surface.

"Prepare—" Long was about to give the order when he suddenly stopped, his usually indifferent expression almost faltering.

Beneath the surface of the sea, an extremely large black shadow could be vaguely seen rising towards the surface. This shadow was so large that it even enveloped their entire fleet.

"Could it be a super-large sea king from the deep sea? Let's avoid it and prepare for battle!" Long Ma ordered.

But what happened next exceeded their expectations.

The sea kings that surfaced were not just one or two, but as many as seven or eight, each of them a giant deep-sea creature with a body length measured in kilometers.

These colossal sea monsters dragged thick iron chains along their bodies, and as the sea surged and churned, a gigantic ship, even larger than these sea monsters, emerged from the surface.

"Noah's Ark on the seabed around Fishman Island, that abandoned giant ship?" The dragon looked surprised.

The existence of Noah's Ark is no secret; after all, it's too big and has existed for too long to be concealed.

And this is just the beginning.

The previously calm sea surface suddenly arched upwards, and a thick and tough layer of huge bubbles rose from beneath the surface.

The bubble was enormous, the size of an island, thick and tough, and it actually squeezed the surrounding seawater apart, even pushing aside the revolutionary warships nearby.

"What's going on? What is this thing?" A daring revolutionary soldier reached out and touched the bubble, and with some force, his arm actually went through it.

"This thing... it looks like the coated bubbles from the Sabaody Archipelago. But how could there be bubbles this big?"

The answer was soon revealed.

As the bubbles rise, the magnificent Dragon Palace appears first, followed by the diverse and uniquely designed buildings of Fishman Island, towering forests of red coral reefs, and vast stretches of white sand beaches...

"This is... Fishman Island? How did it end up on the surface of the sea?" Someone finally recognized the island, which was thousands of meters deep in the ocean.

Deep within the bubbles, on the streets of Fishman Island, countless fishmen and mermaids rushed onto the streets, tears welling in their eyes, their clamor carrying far across the sea.

"It's sunlight! It's the sun!"

"It's the real sun. Although there's the Sun Tree Eve in the deep sea, it's not the real sun. If given a choice, who wouldn't want to live in the sunlight?"

"Praise the sun! Praise the sunshine!"

Amidst the cacophony of voices, a figure burst forth from the bubble, standing in mid-air, looking down at the Revolutionary Army fleet below and the newly surfaced Fishman Island.

His appearance immediately drew grateful glances from the surrounding fishmen.

Twelve years ago, Sig stopped a rebellion on Fishman Island and saved the highly respected Queen Otohime, which greatly increased Sig's popularity on Fishman Island.

And now, without leaving their homeland, they have actually fulfilled the millennia-old wish of the entire merfolk race...

Witnessing this scene, even without Sig's explanation, Dragon and the others naturally understood who was behind making Fishman Island float to the surface.

"This..." The dragon looked a little bewildered.

The text describes a super-sized sea king, measured in kilometers in length, half the size of Fishman Island, the giant ship Noah that can hold hundreds of people, and even Fishman Island itself.

He and Zephyr had just finished exchanging compliments about their fleets, and suddenly this huge bunch of behemoths appeared on the sea.

Compared to these behemoths, the revolutionary army's massive fleet, which they were so proud of, seemed as small and fragile as a toy.

"However, Fishman Island is rising? Fishman Island is rising..." Dragon murmured to himself, vaguely recalling a past event from deep within his memory that deeply moved the Revolutionary Army.

“I dream that one day…” At that moment, a young and determined voice came from beside the dragon.

Sabo stepped out of the cabin, gazing at the distant Fishman Island and Sig in the sky, his eyes shining with idealism.

"I dream that one day, Fishman Island will rise, Sky Island will fall, the rugged new world will become a smooth road, and holy light will be revealed and shine upon the world."

"After 12 years, my mentor truly kept his promise; he really did it..."

At that moment, countless revolutionary soldiers stood in awe.

This figure, regarded as a mentor of the revolutionary army, after recovering slightly from his injuries, casually went out for a trip and fulfilled the fish-man race's millennia-old wish.

At that moment, Sig also landed on the deck from the air.

"Dragon, we'll need your help this time." Sig exhaled a breath of stale air, his expression weary.

A large island with a population of five million is not comparable to the small floating island of the Golden Lion; moving this thing is no easy task.

With his arrival, the scorching sun seemed to cool down a bit, as if a towering tree had come closer, providing shade beneath it.

"Fishman Island is too big to move easily, so it would be best to move the island to a safer area of ​​the surrounding sea."

Sig glanced toward the windless zone in the distance.

The Calm Belt is a death trap for ordinary people, an insurmountable barrier.

However, for Shirahoshi, the current Sea King, it is a safe haven.

As an ancient weapon comparable to the Pluton battleship that can destroy an island with a single shot, it's really a bit underwhelming if it can only command a few Sea Kings around Fishman Island.

The so-called Sea King, the king of the sea kings, is naturally the king of all sea kings in the world.

“After moving Fishman Island to the Calm Belt, we’ll need your help with the next steps,” Sig said.

The Calm Belt is a safe haven that can ensure the safety of Fishman Island.

However, ordinary mermaids or fish-men cannot communicate with sea kings and find it difficult to go out, so they are trapped in the Calm Belt.

An isolated island in a doldrums is no better than Fishman Island, an isolated island thousands of meters deep in the ocean.

Therefore, it is very important to figure out how to make fish-men and mermaids become residents of the land, no longer slaves of the Celestial Dragons, and no longer cynical pirates like Hody Jones.

This concerns the future of Fishman Island, and it's not something that Sig or other bandits can handle. The revolutionary army, which outnumbers them and shares the same belief in equality, is the one who can deal with these matters.

Chapter 1250 The Power of the Sea King (4k)

“Barrett, you and Tom can help repair the boat now,” Sieg said.

Fishman Island has a large number of civilians and the island itself is not easy to move, making it suitable for hiding in the Calm Belt, but Noah's Ark is not like that.

If Noah's Ark were modified, with Barrett's abilities, it might even be possible to build a mobile sea fortress like the Dushan.

"Oh, okay," Barrett replied absentmindedly without saying anything else.

He had previously lost to Wald due to carelessness and the bombing of the explosive rock, which left him somewhat resentful... especially after Sig survived a much larger explosion.

Under the scorching sun, Sig flew back to Fishman Island and used telekinesis to make the island float in the direction of the doldrums.

Princess Shirahoshi shouted loudly in the sunlight, and with her shout, the windless belt in the distance, which was as smooth as a mirror, rippled again.

Dozens, even hundreds, of colossal sea monsters surfaced, like islands densely packed together, making the once vast and boundless ocean suddenly feel crowded.

The sea kings all stared at Shirahoshi with slightly dazed eyes, like veterans crowding around a newbie who had just joined the group.

This spectacular scene shocked both the revolutionary army and the fish-men.

"The Ancient Weapon Sea King, was it born to command other powerful beings?" Sig muttered to himself.

Among the fish-men and mermaids in the world of One Piece, a very small minority possess the ability to communicate and converse with fish.

The mermaid princess Shirahoshi, who appears only once every few centuries, has even greater abilities, allowing her to communicate with and control the long-lived, enormous sea kings.

Today, Neptune White Star can command the sea kings in the Calm Belt to obey her orders.

What about the reverse?

The calm zone, the lair of sea kings, is a forbidden zone for life on the high seas.

The Calm Belts lie on either side of the Grand Line, stretching long enough to encircle the planet, covering a vast area. These expansive Calm Belt seas are teeming with countless Sea Kings.

A sea king who can command sea kings must possess immense power.

What's even more chilling is that... the number of sea kings in the calm zone is excessive and their density is so high that even Darwin would be furious. This doesn't seem "natural" at all.

Zou, the largest known creature in the world with an equally long lifespan, spends his days roaming the waters of the New World.

Its motivation for action stemmed from being punished for a mistake in ancient times and ordered to walk for a long time, rather than from its own will.

So, do sea monsters build their nests in the calm zone, and do these top-of-the-sea creatures gather together because of some kind of interference or command?

For example... Poseidon, one of the ancient weapons capable of commanding sea kings.

Sig's gaze fell on Shirahoshi, and he felt a pang of emotion.

Top-tier powerhouses like Whitebeard can level mountains, cause landslides and tsunamis, and create permanent topographical changes to an island, making them comparable to human-shaped natural disasters.

But human strength has its limits, and this is pretty much the limit.

If the existence of Sea Kings in the Calm Belt is indeed due to the orders of the previous Sea King...

The ancient weapons, which have always been described as having the power to "save or destroy the world," are indeed worthy of their name, possessing immense power and the ability to change the entire world order.
