That black shadow moved rapidly as it breathed.
In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Ryuya and the others.
Under the illumination of the warship's lights, they finally saw what kind of monster the shadow was.
It was a giant squid Sea King, estimated to be over 5,500 meters long.
Its tentacles alone were over 1,000 meters long!
Stella had never seen anything like this before.
She trembled, unconsciously collapsing to the ground, her face pale.
Not only Stella, but even Ain herself was very shocked.
You see, this was in the deep sea.
The warship was coated, separating the seawater from the outside.
But if the coating broke, and a large amount of seawater rushed in, just the pressure from the deep sea alone would be unbearable for them.
You see, in the eyes of Ain and Stella, Ryuya was a Devil Fruit user. If he touched a large amount of seawater, he would definitely become weak!
"Ryuya-sama, what should we do? This squid is clearly coming for us!"
At this moment, this terrifying 5,500-meter-long squid Sea King was constantly observing the warship.
It was judging the danger the warship posed to it. If it judged that the warship wasn't dangerous,
Without a doubt, this squid Sea King would use its powerful tentacles, which were tens of meters in diameter, to crush, break, and swallow the warship.
Seeing Ain and Stella's expressions, Ryuya wasn't fazed at all.
He controlled the illusion, dragged a table out of the room, and placed it on the deck.
Then, he put the delicious food that Stella had made on the table.
He said to everyone in a relaxed and comfortable tone, "What are you all standing around for? Come on, eat. Such delicious food would be a shame if it gets cold."
"But, but..."
Stella pointed to the squid outside, her voice trembling.
Ain also spoke up, "Ryuya-sama, what should we do if this guy attacks?"
Looking at the two who were very worried, Ryuya casually waved his hand, as if he didn't care at all. He said, "It's fine, what's done is done. Ain, just treat this as training for your mental state."
Hearing Ryuya's words, Ain nodded, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Okay, I understand."
Then, she carried a chair and came to the table.
Seeing Ain do this, Stella could only grit her teeth and sit down beside her.
But Stella's mind was no longer on the food. It was all on the squid.
She was afraid that the squid would directly charge at them without a word and pierce the coating.
If the coating was pierced, they would all be finished.
At this moment, the three of them were filled with completely different feelings.
Ryuya's nonchalant indifference.
Ain's forced composure.
Stella's panicked fear.
It permeated the warship.
Ryuya tasted the dishes Stella had made and nodded in satisfaction. He gave Stella a thumbs up and said, "Stella, this is so delicious!"
Stella's face was very pale. She looked at Ryuya and forced a smile, saying, "Is it delicious? Master, Stella will take care of cooking from now on. Please eat more."
Stella's words were a little choppy because she was too nervous.
As for the title "Master," Ryuya initially refused.
But Stella said that it was Ryuya and Ain who saved her.
Especially Ryuya!
He was like a parent who had given her a new life. To show her respect, Stella insisted on calling Ryuya "Master."
To this, Ryuya couldn't say anything.
After all, it was Stella's own insistence.
Ryuya looked at Stella and couldn't help but think of a guy who called himself "Gold Emperor."
However, Stella hadn't met "Gold Emperor" yet. It was very likely that he wouldn't appear again.
Then, when Doflamingo released the Ito Ito no Mi, he could use another identity to steal the Ope Ope no Mi.
Thinking of this, Ryuya's lips curled into a slight smile.
Ain looked at Ryuya, who didn't seem to care at all, and felt a great deal of admiration in her heart.
Although Ryuya hadn't given her any other guidance in other areas,
Just this state of mind alone was something Ain couldn't achieve.
Ain tried to control her mental state and tasted the food Stella had made.
However, her trembling hands showed that her heart was not actually calm.
"Ain, how does it taste to you?"
Ryuya laughed softly at Ain.
"Ah? Yeah, it's delicious. Stella's food is the best I've ever had."
Ain's mental state couldn't improve that much in a short time.
She unconsciously looked to the side and saw the squid suddenly charging towards the warship.
Ain's pupils constricted.
At the same time, seeing this scene, Stella could no longer control her body and unconsciously screamed.
Stella's scream echoed throughout the warship.
Ain's heart sank.
The deep sea!
Inside the coating!
The limitations of various factors!
In Ain's view, neither she nor Ryuya could unleash their full power.
The most likely outcome was that they would be crushed by the deep-sea water.
Or they would be swallowed by this giant squid Sea King and become its food.
But Ain didn't know that Ryuya, as White Dove, wasn't Ryuya's true strength.
His true strength had never been fully unleashed!
Because no one had ever been able to do that.
Even this Sea King squid was no exception.
But Ain and Stella didn't know about Ryuya's confidence.
In their eyes, no matter if it was Ryuya's Devil Fruit ability, Rokushiki, or his strongest Armament Haki,
In this deep sea, there was absolutely no way to defeat this squid Sea King!
Despair enveloped them.
Perhaps it was because of this that Ain and Stella's mental states were able to break through at this moment.
Ain looked at Ryuya and said softly, "Ryuya-sama, being able to follow by your side is the best choice I've ever made. If I had another chance, I would still make this choice without hesitation!"
Stella, at this moment, was no longer afraid. "Master, thank you for saving me from my life of darkness. In my eyes, you are the greatest light, my everything. If there is a next life, I will serve by your side forever."
Ryuya looked at them with a strange expression. "I mean, is it really that exaggerated? It's just a squid Sea King about 5,500 meters long..."
