The atmosphere between Hancock and Robin, who were at that moment standing left and right slightly behind Yeruashi, was surprisingly harmonious.
They felt an extraordinary peace and tranquility, enjoying the bright rays of the sun, filtering through the split fog of the Florian Triangle.
Robin and Hancock were thinking the same thing, looking at the figure of Yeruashi, dressed in a loose blue kimono.
"I was very lucky to meet this person."
After meeting Yeruashi, there was nothing happier for Robin and Hancock than gradually reducing the distance between them from mere acquaintances to close people.
"What are you thinking?"
Yeruashi turned his head and smiled at Robin and Hancock.
He didn't think they might still be surprised by his strength.
Hancock and Robin gradually calmed their emotions, looking at Yeruashi's soft and kind smile, but suddenly thought of something when they opened their mouths to answer.
"Ah, I almost forgot..."
Yeruashi looked away from Robin and Hancock, "I'll be back soon."
Whoosh!!!
With these words, Yeruashi disappeared from the deck of the ship.
After a while, a black space passage appeared in the air, from which Yeruashi emerged.
Hancock and Robin turned their heads and looked into each other's eyes with an inquisitive expression.
They were very interested in what Yeruashi had just done in the Florian Triangle.
They immediately noticed the unfamiliar sword in Yeruashi's hands, which vaguely looked very unusual.
"This is..."
Robin said hesitantly.
Yeruashi pulled out the sword, took a quick glance at its black blade and immediately returned it to the scabbard, "This is the national treasure of Wano Country, the Black Sword of Shusui Even before we arrived in Wano Country, Gekko Moria vlo visit it and stole it from Shusui along with Ryuma's body, I simply decided to return the sword to where it belongs."
"So this is Meito Shusui..."
Robin looked thoughtfully at the Shusui in Yeruashi's hands.
She was no stranger to this sword, for the "Dragon Slayer" Shimotsuki Ryuma and his Meito Shusui, hold a special place in the history of the Wano Country.
Shimotsuki Ryuma is not only an important figure in the history of the Wano Country, but also a very prominent figure in the entire history of the world, because in the past he was famous not only for being able to easily kill a real dragon with one swing of his sword....
This man managed to stop an attempt by World Government forces to invade Wano Country!
Whether it was SP-0 or the strongest marines of that era.... none of them managed to defeat the legendary 'Dragon Slayer' Ryuma and invade the isolated country of Wano!
"Hmm... There is still an extremely strong will and intention of the owner in Shusui."
Yeruashi smiled as he returned to the hut, "If Ryuma was not the guardian of the isolated Wano Country, but a free man floating in the expanses of the sea, it probably wouldn't be hard for him to get the title of The Greatest Swordsman in the world at that time, such a swordsman deserves some respect."
The last words might have been considered rude if anyone else had been in Yeruashi's place, but in his performance, they seemed completely natural and fair.
According to Hancock and Robin, Yeruashi had every right to say something like that, because there were very few people in the whole world who could get such recognition from him.
"I'll go cook."
Hancock followed Yeruashi inside the cabins.
...
Almost at the same time.
In a gloomy castle located on a giant Thriller Bark ship, sailing in one of the parts of the divided Florian Triangle.
"What happened?!"
Gekko Moria shouted irritably as he walked down the corridor of the gloomy castle.
He was enjoying a peaceful and pleasant sleep, but he was suddenly awakened by a noisy movement.
One of the Shichibukai was in a very bad mood.
He soon emerged into a spacious courtyard, in the middle of which lay a variety of zombies.
'Ghost Princess' Perona and 'Gravedigger' Absalom, members of the 'Mystic Four', stood motionless at the edge of the courtyard.
They were panting and sweating, unable to pull away from the shock.
"What the hell is going on? has there really been an invasion?"
Gekko Moria, who was surrounded by black bats, looked at Absalom.
Absalom looked at Moria and said tensely, with difficulty regaining his composure, "Captain Moria... Zombie General Ryuma's body was destroyed and his piss was stolen..."
Moria exclaimed angrily, "What?! Who dared? Where is that bastard? He'll have to pay a bitter price for destroying my zombie general, believe me!"
Absalom's eyes filled with horror: "Yes... if I'm not mistaken, it was.... One of the Heroes of the New World, The Traveler!!!"
Absolute silence reigned.
Moria froze in place, startled.
Perona flew over to Moria and whispered in a trembling voice, "I think so too... that it was him..."
After a few seconds, Moria clenched his fist: "Dare to destroy my zombie general, damn Traveller... it's a pity he already escaped, but nothing... nothing.... Next time we meet, I will definitely make him suffer!"
Perona narrowed her eyes, looking at Moria: "Horo-horo-horo, Captain Moria..."
Moria exclaimed irritably, "What?!"
Perona whispered softly, "Actually, you're afraid of him, too, aren't you?"
Moria's eyes widened, "I'm afraid? How dare you think such a thing?! Ki-shi-shi-shi-shi..."
Perona covered her mouth and slowly turned her head to look at Absalom, who was standing nearby.
They both noticed that Moria was also trembling, but obediently chose to remain silent.
Only after Moria returned to the castle did they breathe a sigh of relief and turn their heads, looking into each other's eyes with understanding.
They were well aware of why their captain was afraid of the Traveler.
After all, the Traveler was the person who killed Kaido, at whose hands Moria had suffered crushing defeats in the past!
Besides, he is a Hero of the New World and one of the most terrifying people in the world!
Perona slowly came to her senses and stared lost in the distance, recalling the scenes of what had happened earlier: "But... but, he is very beautiful..."
...
The incident in the waters of the Florian Triangle was only a minor episode.
Ohara calmly crossed the waters of the Florian Triangle, continuing the journey to the end of the first half of the Grand Line.
Of course, Yeruashi's ship was detected by the Navy's intelligence network, but they did nothing, as if there was no report of Ohara's appearance.
Ohara sailed unhindered through two islands, arriving at the end point of the first half of the Grand Line: the Sabaodi Archipelago.
"Are you going to stop by and visit Rayleigh?"
Robin, who was standing on the edge of the deck next to Yeruashi, turned her head and asked.
Yeruashi shook his head, "We'll see Rayleigh next time, now let's go straight to Fishman Island, I've wanted to visit there for a long time."
"Good."
Robin nodded.
Yeruashi gently stamped his foot on the deck of the ship.
With this movement, the ship was enveloped by an invisible force and began to gradually sink underwater.
The seawater, endowed with life, served the function of covering and was responsible for maneuvering the ship underwater.
Yeruashi lowered his hands as the entire ship was enveloped in revived water, and began to calmly watch Ohara sink to the bottom of the deep sea.
As they sank, the atmosphere around them gradually turned from blue to dark, until it became completely black.
Before long.
In the total darkness, light appeared again.
In the distance, a fabulous island could be seen suspended above the bottom of the deep sea, inside a huge transparent bubble.
The island of the fish-men!
