183: Chapter 183 Undersea Volcanic Eruption"Hmm, not bad, not bad.This makes us much faster, and if we encounter danger, this sea monster can fight in our place," Luffy said with satisfaction, patting the sea monster's head, which was behaving like a dutiful grandson.A happy smile spread across his face.Then, in a flash, he returned to the Sunny at incredible speed.The giant sea monster obediently climbed to the side of the Sunny and gently dragged the ship onto its head.
Just as they were preparing to set off, a shark dressed in clothes suddenly emerged from the sea monster's nostrils.The shark quickly swam to the Sunny, letting out a few cheerful calls at Luffy, seemingly expressing its gratitude.Then, the shark swiftly swam away and disappeared into the vast ocean.
"Straw Hat Boy, I really don't understand you anymore.What kind of monster are you?You're not afraid of seawater and you can fight freely in the sea.I think the Navy will have a lot of headaches with an enemy like you in the future." Aokiji didn't pay attention to the departing shark, but stared at Luffy with the eyes of someone looking at a monster, his tone filled with surprise and doubt.
Luffy wasn't angry or dissatisfied when he heard Aokiji's words.Instead, he smiled confidently.He picked up a glass of juice, took a slow sip, and then said smugly, "Don't be obsessed with me.I'm just a legend." After saying that, he struck what he thought was a very cool pose.
Upon hearing this, Aokiji's lips twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "Why is this guy always so narcissistic?But he certainly has the looks to back it up!" He shook his head helplessly, feeling that being with Luffy always infected him with his unique personality.Although he sometimes felt speechless, he had to admit that Luffy's optimistic and positive attitude filled the entire crew with energy.
The group chatted and laughed, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.The sea monster, however, acted as a laborer, tirelessly carrying the Sunshine deeper into the ocean.As they went deeper, the light dimmed, and the seawater grew increasingly cold.Despite the Sunshine's powerful lighting, it struggled to penetrate the darkness and see its surroundings.At this moment, Franky stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, everyone.I've prepared measures to deal with the deep-sea environment."
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Franky activated the Sunny's special equipment—the Deep-Sea Exploration System.This system, composed of a series of advanced technologies, helps the ship maintain stability and provide clear visibility in the deep sea.The Sunny's hull began to emit a faint glow as it started exploring the surrounding waters.Simultaneously, the ship's cameras and sensors activated, transmitting the underwater scene to screens inside the cabin.Even so, the surrounding darkness created an atmosphere of tension.Franky knew it was time to demonstrate his new capability.Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Franky walked to the bow."Super, Franky Nipple Lights!" With a shout, two powerful lights suddenly shone from his chest, instantly illuminating the surroundings.However, despite the illumination, everyone still stared at the smugly laughing Franky with an indescribable look.
Even Luffy couldn't help but sigh, "I thought that after acquiring Iron Man's technology, Franky wouldn't modify himself so abnormally anymore, but I didn't expect." He shook his head helplessly, indicating that he couldn't understand.
Sanji, clutching the blood transfusion bottle, was too exhausted to even complain, his voice tinged with weariness and dissatisfaction: "Where did you even put the light?You pervert!"
Franky, however, disagreed, because in his view, being called a pervert was equivalent to receiving praise.Aokiji looked at the strange team in front of him with suspicion, and couldn't help but wonder: Did I really make the wrong choice?
Zoro seemed to have seen through Aokiji's thoughts, and patted him on the shoulder gently with a reassuring expression, saying, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it.This is our style."
As the group ventured deeper, danger gradually approached.Many deep-sea fish, drawn by the scent emanating from the Sunshine, attacked, eager for a sumptuous meal.Unbeknownst to them, the siren was no weakling to be trifled with.It relentlessly brandished its octopus tentacles, teaching these fools a lesson: "Roar!Ro .
Soon, the group arrived at the deep seabed.There was no sunlight, the seawater was icy cold, and the surroundings were utterly silent, as if they had entered a silent world.They cautiously looked around, none of them knowing where a monster might suddenly appear.The more timid ones swallowed nervously, their hearts filled with fear.
Usopp was just about to warn his crew not to let their guard down when he turned around and saw something that shocked him.Sanji, who had already finished his blood transfusion, was covered in pictures of beautiful women and diligently making takoyaki.The group of people, seemingly oblivious to the danger, surrounded Sanji, their faces full of anticipation as they watched the takoyaki nearly come out of the oven.
"Hey, can't you guys be a little more aware of danger?This is the deep sea!Who knows what kind of danger might be coming!" Usopp complained helplessly.However, Luffy smiled and reassured him that he and Zoro had been using Observation Haki to monitor their surroundings.If any danger appeared, they would immediately sense it and react.Besides, Jarvis was also monitoring the Deep Sea Exploration System, so he could react instantly if any danger arose."That's good, that's good," Usopp relaxed, and was just about to join them in enjoying their takoyaki feast when.Suddenly, everyone felt the surrounding temperature rising rapidly.Jarvis issued an alarm: "Numerous small volcanoes have been detected on the seabed, expected to erupt in one minute." Nami immediately ran to the ship's side and looked down, indeed finding countless small volcanoes showing signs of eruption."Hey, little octopus, if you don't want to become a roasted octopus, hurry up and put in some extra effort!" Luffy shouted from the group of onlookers, eager for a good show.Actually, even without Luffy's words, the sea monster itself sensed the impending crisis, its octopus tentacles working even harder.At that moment, it regretted not extending more tentacles.A minute quickly passed, and the underwater volcanoes.The volcanic eruption arrived as expected, with massive amounts of lava rushing towards the Sunshine.Seeing this, the sea monster ran even faster.In this critical moment, Franky immediately turned the helm, activating the newly installed propeller.The powerful propulsion propelled the Sunshine and the sea monster forward.However, the eruption was even faster.Aokiji knew it was time to step in and save his companions.He swiftly released a wave of cold air, striking the lava heading towards the Sunshine with a "Frozen Time Capsule." The boiling lava instantly froze.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sea monster leaped into a trench with the Sunshine, heading deeper into the ocean.
