50 Chapter 49
The trip on the new ship was peaceful with everybody doing their thing.
Hakai was in the training room with the gravity turned up to the max as he meditated with his asauchi.
"Hmm, when will you awaken?" Hakai asked the sword which was plain in appearance.
'I was hoping for it to awaken instantly but I guess it's fine. Take your time, but don't take too long,' Hakai thought, chuckling to himself.
Meanwhile in the library of the ship, Robin was looking through all the books and with her enhanced mind, she started memorizing all of the books in the library.
"Wow, so everything is made of this... Aether. I wonder... How did it appear?" Robin looked through various books all of them about topics that she has never heard of before.
"Mana, a watered down version of Aether that some beings are capable of sensing and controlling. Can I use mana?" Robin tried it out and found that she could use mana although it wasn't as intuitive as using her draconic energy.
"Soul Society, there are 2 branches of Soul Society. The western branch, and the eastern branch."
The library was filled with countless books. All of these books were of course all bought by Hakai since they were just informational books and weren't very expensive. With this vast treasure trove of new information, Robin would definitely spend most of her time in the library.
In the big swimming pool of the ship, Nojiko was swimming laps around the pool enjoying her time while Makino and Kaya relaxed in the hottub.
"Ahhh, I could fall asleep right now~" Makino sighed as she turned up the heat of the hottub.
"Ehh, Makino isn't it hot enough?" Kaya asked.
"Yes, but I keep getting used to the heat and then it becomes warm again."
With their dragon bodies, they were much more resistant to heat so the temperature of the hottub was so hot it could probably boil someone alive, someone normal and average at least.
Done with his training, Hakai went above deck. They had just entered the Calm Belt which was where Amazon Lily was situated.
Because of the unique nature of the calm belt, there are no currents in it meaning Hakai had to use the thruster at the back, and the dragon flippers to propel themselves on the sea.
As the ship traversed through the calm belt, a gigantic head of a sea king popped out.
The sea king which was bigger than the ship, and much bigger than Hakai's dragon form appeared with its mouth open, drool dripping from its mouth. These sea kings were big with an approximate size of over 5,000 meters.
The sea king was so big that when it came out of the sea, ita body blocked the sun, casting a shadow on the ship.
"Tsk, you think just cause you're bigger you're better? Watch this, I don't even need to transform to defeat you."
Hakai gathered his energy on the tip of his finger creating a small black orb.
"Erase."
Like a baseball, Hakai threw the small orb at the sea king's body.
The sea king paid no mind to the black orb, to it, the black orb didn't even give off a sense of danger, but upon contacting with the sea king's body, the black orb made a large hole, seperating the sea king's long neck from its body, and killing it.
'Shit, the blood is gonna stain my clothes.'
"Erase."
"Erase."
"Erase."
"Phew, that was a close one. I forgot to enhance these clothes."

"Lady Hebihime, a pirate ship is directly heading for the island," a member of the kuja pirate reported.
Hakai was doing this by utilizing his enhanced observation haki which he trained during his time in the dungeon. While he didn't know the exact location of Amazon Lily, he did know the vague direction of the island.
Boa stood up from her seat. "Let's go meet them then and ask what they want."
The woman nodded. "Prepare the ship!"
---
Hakai smiled as he saw a red ship heading towards them. At the front of the ship were 2 sea serpents, pulling the ship towards them.
He called the girls which were now relaxing in their respected rooms above the deck.
"Ohh, now that's a sight. A ship being pulled by snakes," Makino said.
Once the ship neared each other, Boa stood up from her seat. "Speak, pirates! What are you doing here?"
"Quite simple, miss. I wish to meet with you," Hakai said.
Boa raised her eyebrow and was about to answer when one of her sisters spoke up, "What business do you have with my sister?"
"I wish to recruit her for my pirate crew," Hakai answered.
"I see. Has my beauty charmed you? I'm sorry but I will have to decline. You should know that I am one of the warlords of the sea and that I work with the marines, right?"
"Yes, but I also know your secret, and who you hate the most." Hakai smirked. "The world government. If you join my crew, you can come with me to Mary Geoise."
When Hakai mentioned the place that she had been enslaved in, Boa's face turned sour. "And why would I want to go there?"
"I plan on attacking it," he said plainly. "The Celestial Dragons, or whatever they call themselves are horrible. Frankly, their name insults me."
