Yeruashi's words surprised Shanks and the others.
Except for the moment when the boats approached and Shanks waved to Yeruashi, they were no longer paying attention to the other boat, as due to the storm being too strong, everyone was completely focused on the huge waves and facing them.
It wasn't that Shanks wasn't paying attention, but he noticed that Yeruashi was definitely not an ordinary person.
From the beginning to the end, he stood calmly on the deck of the boat.
Not once did he flinch, no matter how much the deck swayed and how big the incoming waves were.
An ordinary person, of course, is not capable of such a thing.
But there was no pirate flag on the ship Yeruashi, at first glance it was an ordinary civilian ship, except that it looked quite sturdy.
Yeruashi's words and demeanor clearly indicated that he was no ordinary person, it seemed that he could actually help them weather the storm.
"Then thank you for your help!"
Shanks looked at Yeruashi with a smile.
Although he didn't know Yeruashi and had never heard of him, there was nothing wrong with people helping each other in the middle of a storm.
Even if you are not very strong, you will weather the storm together.
There was no point in giving up extra strength to fight the storm.
"You're welcome."
Yeruashi smiled and raised his hand, then slowly opened his palm.
A white glow shone on his palm and began to shrink, quickly turning into a black sphere that looked like a black hole.
This sphere continued to gradually increase in size, giving an increasingly heavy feeling, until it became the size of a fist.
After that, Yeruashi gently waved his hand, sending the black sphere into the sky.
Shanks couldn't help but be surprised as he watched Yeruashi's movements from the side.
"What is that?"
"It must be some kind of devil fruit ability..."
Beckman looked doubtfully at the sky, "I can't recognize this ability.... Why did it send the black sphere into the sky?"
Yasopp and the others also looked doubtfully at the sky, watching as the black sphere quickly flew away.
At last, it rose high in the sky and disappeared without a trace in a dark cloud.
Beckman and the others frowned, not understanding what Yeruashi was trying to accomplish.
Buzz!
Yeruashi cupped his hands in front of him.
"Chibaku... Tensei!"
He looked up at the sky and said calmly.
The sounds of an untamed storm and the thunder of lightning seemed unable to drown out his voice.
At this moment.
The dense dark clouds that had covered the sky above the ships suddenly froze and raced to a place, as if under the influence of some invisible force.
Not only did this happen to the clouds above the ships, but the whole sky quickly took on the form of a whirlwind!
The dark clouds, wrapped in arcs of interlocking lightning, rushed toward a single point!
"This is..."
Shanks, who had sailed on Golden Roger's ship, could keep his cool, but Beckman, Yasopp and the others gawked at the sky in shock.
It was as if the dark clouds in the sky were the sea and suddenly someone opened a big drain in the bottom in the middle of the sea, which began to suck them in rapidly!
All the dark clouds in their field of vision were rushing in the same direction!
The wind died down.
The wind that had previously enveloped the sky and land rushed toward this point in the sky, and even the waves began to rise skyward from the surface of the sea!
It was like a storm coming in the opposite direction.
From the surface of the sea to the sky!
Dark clouds and streams of water gathered at one point, forming a giant sphere that was clearly visible from the outside.
When compressed, the dark clouds turned into water and combined with the streams of water rising from the surface of the sea, forming a giant sphere of water hanging in the middle of the sky.
Before long.
The dense clouds that had covered the entire sky began to disappear, and at the edge of the field of vision, the bright rays of the sun could be seen from all sides.
The huge mass of dark clouds that had gathered in the center disappeared without a trace in just a few seconds, merging completely into the giant water sphere.
Only a large sphere of water remained in the clear blue sky.
It floated gently high above the ships, giving off an iridescent glow under the bright rays of the sun.
The raging sea quickly subsided.
The sun, reflecting off the smooth, calm surface of the sea, illuminated the faces of Beckman and the others.
This warm feeling was like a petrifying spell, causing all of them to abruptly freeze in place, as if turning into a stone statue.
This time, even young Shanks was stunned as he looked up at the vast blue sky.
Silence.
Only the splashing of the faint waves rolling across the surface of the sea could be heard.
Yeruashi loosened his palms that were crossed in front of his chest and looked up at the giant sphere of water in the sky.
His left hand slowly lowered and his right hand rose towards the sphere in the sky.
Whoosh!!!
A huge stream of water gushed out of the water sphere like a waterfall.
The waterfall curved in a beautiful arc, falling towards the distant sea, and after a while, the giant sphere merged completely with the sea.
Yasopp turned his trembling gaze away from the sky to look at the Yeruashi nearby.
Although they had already seen a variety of abilities and met quite a few quite strong people after becoming Shanks' companions and moving from East Blue to Grand Line, the strength displayed by Yeruashi was beyond their imagination!
He absorbed all the clouds in the sky, turning them into a giant sphere of water, and then returned this water back to the sea!
This picture was like a miracle!
Silently.
Yeruashi lowered his hands and turned his head, smiling at Beckman, Shanks and the rest of the Redhead Pirates, who were still in shock, "Everything's fine now..."
"Aren't you going to invite me aboard?"
No one responded to Yeruashi's words.
All was silent, except for the sound of a gentle breeze and the lapping of faint waves.
In a few seconds.
Shanks recovered and returned the sword to its sheath, then looked at Yeruashi with a smile, "Thank you! My name is Shanks, come aboard, let's have a feast!"
"Okay."
Yeruashi smiled and turned in the direction of the cabins, "Robin, there's no need to cook.... Let's have a banquet!"
