Bang! Two black shadows, like swordfish, leaped out of the sea and eventually slammed into the sea.
The thick chain that was wrapped around their bodies was extremely glaring as the seawater splashed.
When the two landed in the water again, the speed at which the mast sailboat was pulled forward was even faster.
Watching this scene, Smoker and Ain couldn't help but exchange glances and finally confirmed that they hadn't seen wrong.
On this treacherous sea, there was actually a ship that had broken the norm.
Not relying on wind power or the ship's braking ability, it was relying on two people to pull it forward in the sea.
That kind of resistance wasn't as simple as one plus one.
Not to mention the two people who were pulling the ship with human power, even the person who had come up with this method was a monster-like existence.
Thinking of this, Smoker and Ain couldn't help but shudder.
Could the person who had come up with this crazy idea be Kai, whom they had been waiting for here for a long time?
Roar! A deafening roar suddenly rang out.
On the coast near the port, a huge black shadow appeared on the sea surface.
The next moment, it broke out of the water directly.
The sea serpent, which was tens of meters long and had barbs and fangs like scythes, shot towards the two people in the water as soon as it appeared.
Faced with the sea king, which was stirring up a bloody wind and had been eyeing them here for a long time, Ain and Smoker's expressions changed.
Just as they were about to take action, a blurry shadow instantly appeared in front of the sea king.
The arm, which had been infinitely stretched for tens of meters, rushed towards the sea serpent head-on like a rocket.
"Gum-Gum Rocket!"
Bang! A muffled collision sound, like thunder, was transmitted.
The snake's head, which was three or four meters in diameter, was instantly blown away.
Under the release of the huge force, it directly sent the tens-of-meters-long body flying and slammed heavily on the pirate ship that had originally been docked at the port.
As the rumbling sound rang out, the pirate ship was smashed in response, and the sea serpent was also killed directly.
Watching this scene, Smoker and Ain's expressions changed slightly. They then saw that the person who had taken action had staggered and plunged into the sea.
"Hey, Luffy, don't force yourself if you can't do it. Zoro, Sanji, quickly save that idiot. This is clearly Daz's prey." Nami's shouting voice rang out on the deck.
"Nami-san, watch me. I will definitely bring Luffy back!"
Sanji, who had originally been dragging the pirate ship forward with almost all of his strength, had his eyes turn into pink hearts at once. With his strength soaring, he plunged into the water.
"Ero-cook!" Zoro revealed a disgusted expression.
Beautiful women didn't have much of an attraction for him.
But thinking that he had been defeated by Tashigi, who was very similar to Kuina, fifty-eight times in a row in swordsmanship after boarding the ship,
it made Zoro's face involuntarily recall when he was a child, when he had lost more than a thousand times and didn't even have a chance to save face.
Right now, being able to use Tashigi to realize his dream, but his strength was completely insufficient, made him clench his teeth and plunge into the sea as well.
Three or four minutes later, under the stunned gazes of Smoker and Ain, three wet figures finally collapsed on the shore like mud.
The single-masted ship, which had been sailing by being pulled by human power, was also brought to the port.
Apart from the three people who had fallen into the water, Ain and Smoker finally saw clearly who was on the ship's deck.
Especially when they saw the man, who was wearing a cloak and had a cold and arrogant face, Smoker's expression couldn't help but sink and said, "Kai has arrived."
"Teacher Kai has arrived. Where is he?" Ain was stunned for a moment and looked around.
Under Smoker's guidance, a trace of astonishment was revealed on her pretty face.
It was rumored that Kai was very young, but in Ain's eyes, people who could go further on the path of teaching should be gentle and refined.
At the very least, they should wear a white shirt and a pair of small glasses like Zephyr.
She had never expected that Kai would be a cold, domineering CEO-type existence.
"Smoker, I didn't expect that you would come to follow the ship to learn." Kai glanced at Smoker indifferently and then looked at Ain and said, "You should be Ain, one of Teacher Zephyr's most outstanding recruits in this class, right?"
"Ah? K, Kai, Teacher Kai, you know my name?" Ain was stunned for a moment and said somewhat shyly, "Teacher, you're praising me too much. Ain hasn't undergone the practical assessment yet, and the final graduation results aren't clear yet, so how can I be called the most outstanding? If it's spread out, I'm afraid it will tarnish Teacher Zephyr's reputation."
Watching Ain, who had a shy face, Kai didn't feel surprised.
The current Ain was still a flower in a greenhouse and hadn't encountered the bloody situation in the original work, where Weevil had massacred the recruits.
Watching the entire ship of people being wiped out and even the most respected Teacher Zephyr having an arm cut off, it was enough to twist anyone's mind.
It could be said that not going crazy was already very good.
"Teacher Kai, I've completed the daily training of having me swing the sword 10,000 times. Should I continue to increase the amount next?" Tashigi walked out from behind the deck, holding Shigure.
After glancing at Smoker, she revealed a trace of surprise and said, "Isn't this Captain Smoker, who was defeated by teacher in Loguetown that day? Why is he here?"
"Could it be the student assigned by the Marine that teacher mentioned a few days ago to follow the ship?"
That day, Tashigi had personally witnessed Smoker's extraordinary strength and fiery temper.
"I also didn't expect that the Marine would recommend him to come." A trace of surprise also flashed through the depths of Kai's eyes. He glanced at the black wristband on Tashigi's wrist and said, "How much dark steel is left in the cabin!"
"None." Tashigi hesitated for a moment and said, "They've already used it all up. This kind of metal was originally very valuable, and the output is also very small. The three of them have consumed a total of 3,000 pounds."
Speaking of this, Tashigi looked at the three figures on the shore, who were soaked to the bone, and revealed a monster-like expression.
"This kind of metal, which has a small density and a heavy volume, is indeed as precious as seastone. It seems that it can only be found in large quantities on the Sabaody Archipelago." Kai nodded and said, "Since there's no more dark steel, then you don't need to increase the amount of training next. Continue to swing the sword 30,000 times, and you have to complete it before noon."
"Understood, teacher!" Tashigi responded.
Without the slightest bit of objection, she turned around and continued to walk to the side and swing the sword slowly.
However, this kind of tedious sword-swinging mode and the series of strange scenes in front of them made Smoker frown.
This training was too strange!
What's more, in Smoker's eyes, such simple training would be a bottleneck when it reached a certain point.
It might be useful for ordinary people, but was it really effective for them, the powerhouses?
