Mona obediently held her head with her hands, revealing her clean and smooth armpits, and started doing squats again.
Since I didn't need to hold on with my hands, these squats became increasingly difficult and tiring. I could only do about thirty of them before I couldn't hold on any longer. My legs started to shake and my whole body began to cramp violently.
Like a tap turned on.
The ugly side of things was exposed.
Seeing that Mona didn't have the strength to continue, Chen Yongan, who was assisting, naturally would not be stingy with his strength.
Holding Mona's round and firm little pomelo, he assisted Mona in doing her unfinished squats.
But compared to the slow and powerful ones she did herself, Chen Yongan's assistance seemed so swift and fierce, like a hand-cranked water pump, and the crystal drops splashed everywhere under Chen Yongan's pumping pressure.
There was even a noticeable pool of water on the deck.
Chapter 285: Crossing the Devil's Triangle
After a lively day of partying to celebrate the acquisition of the new ship and its maiden voyage, normal sailing was resumed the next day.
While waiting for breakfast to be served, Chen Yongan was bored and playing the cat-and-mouse game with Mary Rose. Mona spread out the sea chart on the dining table and said, "What should we do next? Should we go directly through the Devil's Triangle, which caused countless ships to disappear, or take a detour?"
Chen Yongan looked at the sea map and saw a huge triangular shadow covering the area between the Seven Water City and the Sabaody Archipelago. The only way to pass through it safely was to go around it from both sides.
But judging from the nautical chart, taking a detour would take at least twice as long as crossing the distance in a straight line.
"Why is this place called the Devil's Triangle? Is it because there is a legendary devil in it?" Maryrose asked curiously.
"No, because it is said that more than a hundred ships disappear in this sea every year. The ships that were found afterwards were all empty without crew members. Some people even saw ghost ships carrying dead people wandering in that sea..."
Mona shuddered as she spoke, and suggested, "Let's take a detour. It will only add ten days to the voyage at most."
"That's right," Tifa, who was making breakfast, agreed, "It's too dangerous to go through the Devil's Triangle. Let's take a detour."
"Mary objects!" Mary Rose raised her hand. "This is the Devil's Triangle. Don't you want to experience such an exciting adventure? You might really encounter a ghost ship carrying the dead wandering on the sea~"
Mary Rose became more and more excited as she spoke. She looked at Chen Yongan with shining eyes and didn't even mind being covered by Chen Yongan.
"No!" Mona and Mary Rose sang a different tune, "What if we encounter danger? Terrible natural disasters, sea kings that swallow ships, or even lurking pirates, these may be one of the culprits for the disappearance of the ship!"
"Just defeat them. We are so strong anyway. We have even defeated the goldfish that can swallow an island before. Why are we afraid of this?"
Mary Rose, who was skilled and courageous, didn't care about these dangers at all. She looked at Mona with disdain and said, "Or are you afraid of ghosts and dare not go over? Cowardly ghost~"
"It's not shameful to be afraid of ghosts," Tifa agreed. "Do you want to be frightened by those ugly, festering things suddenly approaching you?"
"What you're talking about are zombies! They're not the same as the ghosts and spirits in horror stories! Does Lexington look like this?"
"Let's leave the decision to the captain," Mona looked at Chen Yongan hopefully, her eyes full of the thought of taking a detour.
"That's right, the captain's meaning is the most important," Tifa put her hands on Chen Yongan's shoulders from behind, and the pair of soft and huge breasts on her chest rested on his head.
Tremendous stress.
Seeing Tifa using her charm, Maryrose not to be outdone hugged Chen Yongan's arm and started to act coquettishly in a soft voice.
"I think it's better to travel directly through. It's also good to save some time."
The main reason is that the detour takes too long. If we encounter something that delays the time, then the mission will be overdue, right?
Moreover, the Devil's Triangle is just an area of sea covered by thick fog, which will not cause the recording pointer to malfunction. And the biggest danger may be the terrifying three-masted ship of Gekko Moriah, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which is drifting in the Devil's Triangle.
Its captain, Gekko Moriah, is the user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, which allows him to take away other people's shadows to resurrect the dead and create his zombie army.
But because he didn't like to do things himself and relied too much on the strength of others and the ability of his own fruit, and had never practiced, his physical skills were a mess, not much different from a meat target.
Therefore, if we face him in the future, as long as we are careful not to let him take away our shadows and create powerful zombies, it will not be difficult to defeat him.
There is no need to deliberately avoid the Devil's Triangle.
.......
When Maryrose heard Chen Yongan say that they would not take a detour, she cheered, but Mona and Tifa were dissatisfied.
Chen Yongan comforted him by saying, "As the saying goes, 'A gentleman does not speak of strange things, supernatural powers, or the gods.' It means that when you encounter scary things like ghosts and monsters, don't be scared and scream. Just deal with them with your might.
With your strength, I believe no ghost can withstand your attack."
As he spoke, Chen Yongan squeezed Tifa's fist, wondering if Tifa's full-strength punch using her Armament Haki and secret technique could penetrate the terrifying barque.
Tifa retracted her hand, snorted coldly, punched him, and turned around to continue making breakfast for everyone.
For breakfast, just have seafood porridge and boiled eggs, something simple is fine.
Tifa prepared breakfast and brought it to the table, and others came to the restaurant and sat down one after another.
While everyone was gathered, Chen Yongan announced that they would be crossing the Devil's Triangle next.
Hearing this, D.VA, who seemed a little sluggish because it was her first time to rest overnight on a ship, instantly perked up and asked, "Are there really ghosts in this world?"
Although horror movies are a major feature of the country where D.VA grew up, and D.VA would occasionally find one or two horror movies to pass the time late at night, this does not mean that she really wants to encounter such things!
"Of course there are," Mary Rose affirmed, "There are even incredible things like ship elves, not to mention ghosts."
"Yes," D.VA felt the presence of the ship deck under her feet. This ship is alive. It is a ship that carries the ship spirit. Compared with it, ghosts are still too childish.
"Don't be afraid," Mary Rose patted her chest with great loyalty, "I will protect you. I am the cat goddess. The fire of the sun will burn all evil spirits."
"When you have nothing to do on the ship, you can also try to learn how to use Compound No. 5," the angel suggested. "Becoming a cat goddess is really powerful. It can bring great improvements to your physical body, just like nine lives."
"And there are enough raw materials for making compound number five. You don't have to worry about wasting it."
Maryrose added that she was a user of an animal-type mythical beast and knew how to restore life. Her powerful recovery ability produced blood continuously, and drawing 400 milliliters of blood from her every day would be like being bitten by a mosquito, and she would recover in an instant.
"Okay," D.VA nodded. She had to exercise after dinner.
You can't hold back the people on the boat.
Thinking of this, D.VA drank a mouthful of porridge and was stunned by its freshness.
"Mm, this porridge is really delicious."
"Really?" Tifa smiled as she was praised for her cooking skills. "This is what Yongan taught me to make. It tastes good, you can drink more."
Chapter 286 Being targeted
D.VA was lying on the gym floor, sweating profusely, gasping for breath, looking at the arched ceiling in front of her, still feeling unreal about what had just happened.
It’s so exciting!
The power filled in her limbs seemed as if she could tear a cow into pieces with her bare hands. Her agile and nimble body allowed her to see the vertical mast as flat ground, and her sharp reaction was so keen that she could even feel a hair falling on the ground.
D.VA is addicted to the feeling brought by physical enhancement.
If I were to participate in a professional e-sports competition with this kind of physical condition, I would probably be able to win the championship easily, right?
Not only e-sports, but all Olympic events can be easily won!
This is a power that exceeds the limits of the human body!
But after five minutes of the effect of the medicine wore off, he lost that strength and his body became weak again, as if he had fallen from the clouds.
From superman to mortal.
"These five minutes are fascinating, aren't they?"
Chen Yongan handed D.VA a thick drink that could quickly replenish energy. "But with this level of strength, you can only be considered a weakling in this world."
D.VA sat up suddenly after hearing this, "This kind of power is still just for the weak?"
"Ok?"
"Oh," D.VA quickly took the drink handed to her by Chen Yongan and drank half of it.
It doesn’t taste good and is too thick to swallow, but I know it must be very nutritious and will give you a strong sense of fullness.
"You looked like a jumping kitten to me just now. I could easily handle you with one hand. You are far inferior to Mary."
D.VA wiped the thick liquid from the corners of her mouth and said, "She is the cat goddess. How can I, a fake, compare with her?"
"Fake? Have you forgotten what 2B showed when she used Compound No. a few days ago? With her strength at that time, she could easily beat two Maries."
"That's because she is strong."
"Yes, she is strong to begin with. Only with her strong physical fitness as a foundation and strong domineering can she truly exert the power of the fruit. For someone like you who has no foundation at all, the No. 5 compound can only be used for self-defense or to bully ordinary people, just like your little pistol."
"Can't you encourage me a little?" D.VA hit Chen Yongan in dissatisfaction. His words were enough to destroy all the confidence she had just gained from Compound No. 5.
"I just want you to face the reality, so that you won't be too immersed in this feeling of external enhancement."
Speaking of this, Chen Yongan couldn't help but think of Gekko Moriah and the leader of the new Fishman Pirates. The two of them relied too much on external enhancement and neglected physical exercise. They were either taking shadows or drugs. They couldn't be called qualified strong men at all.
"Your body is too weak. Just do some exercise to improve your physical fitness... I think you should focus more on mecha development and enhance your mecha's close combat and long-range firepower capabilities.
Have you ever heard of mecha works like Gundam? What about beam sabers, particle cannons, etc.? Try to make them and install them on your mecha..."
Chen Yongan talked a lot with D.VA, about how to strengthen her mecha, or the strange technology tree in this world, etc. In short, the whole morning passed like this.
Then D.VA spent the afternoon in the workshop reading and started making some strange things.
......
They sailed peacefully on the sea until the fifth day, when Tifa, who was training in the gym at the top of the mast, discovered something was wrong.
"There's something going on behind us, there's a warship following us!"
"Warship?" Upon hearing that he had disrupted the chess game that was about to be lost, Chen Yongan ignored Mona's eye roll, bent his legs and jumped directly to the gym on the mast which also served as an observation deck, took the telescope handed to him by Tifa and looked towards it.
Although the distance was far, I could still vaguely see the other side's seagull flag fluttering in the wind.
"The Devil's Triangle is ahead. Even if the warship wants to go to the Sabaody Archipelago, it should go around to the Navy Headquarters first. Why would it take this route? I'll go ask them what they want to do."
Having said this, Chen Yongan immediately took out the Navy Den Den Mushi and spoke to the other party through the public channel.
"I am from the Fourth Calamity Pirate Hunter Group. May I ask why your ship has been following us?"
"I am Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan. We are on our way to a secret mission. Maybe we are just heading in the same direction. Don't worry too much."
"clear."
Chen Yongan hung up the phone and his expression immediately became serious.
"What's wrong?" Tifa asked.
"We must have been targeted," Chen Yongan replied.
In Chen Yongan's memory, Huoshaoshan was a very loyal person, loyal to the World Government.
Even when his subordinates were killed by the Four Emperors in front of him, he was a loyal dog who remained indifferent because there was no order from the World Government.
"Targeted? We're not pirates?"
"Maybe it was an order from the World Government."
"What should we do?" Tifa's heart tightened, "Should we go over..."
"We have no evidence, so we can't just confront each other right now," Chen Yongan shouted into the megaphone, "Fold the sails and wait for orders."
As the sails were retracted, the ship slowly lost power and finally stopped on the sea.
As the Lexington stopped, the warships following closely behind them also changed direction, but did not go far away. Instead, they maintained a suitable distance, reduced their speed, and circled around the Lexington.
Now Chen Yongan can be said to be 100% certain that Huoshaoshan’s secret mission is to monitor their movements.
"We are here now," Mona reported, pointing to the sea chart, "We are about half a day away from the Devil's Triangle."
King Ada frowned and said, "It seems that their intention is very clear. They want to wait for us to enter the Devil's Triangle shrouded in thick fog and then attack us, or they want to let the beings who have ambushed us in the thick fog to attack us."
"I can launch an attack from underwater and sink their warships," Mona said, "and kill them without anyone noticing."
"No, the risk is too great," Chen Yongan rejected Mona's proposal. "The other side is led by a lieutenant general. There may be other strong men. You may not be able to deal with them smoothly."
"So what are you going to do?" 2B asked.
"Mona, please tell me whether the Lexington will sink today."
"No," Mona came to the conclusion after a few breaths, "Whether it's today, tomorrow, or every day that follows, everything will be fine."
"Very good, let's get through," Chen Yongan's expression became serious, "Everyone, get ready for battle. Kill gods if they get in our way! Kill Buddhas if they get in our way!"
Following Chen Yongan's order, the Lexington once again raised its sails and set off towards the Devil's Triangle.
......
Behind him, Huoshaoshan, a man with a cigar and a big beard and an honest look, saw the Lexington setting sail again, so he called Den Den Mushi and said, "This is Huoshaoshan, their coordinates are... It will take about four hours to reach the Devil's Triangle."
