Dawn Modification Completed, Top Speed And Diving!

After a week of dedicated work in the workshop, Arias successfully completed the new Qi-powered unit, a weapon refining mechanism with a Qi-fueled power device. Recharging it in advance, he eliminated the need for wind assistance, incorporating concepts from the Swallowing Beast to convert and store energy attacks as Qi.

Curious about the transformation, Hancock eagerly observed as Arias replaced the original power system crafted by Evan.

Regarding sailing, Hancock, finding the cockpit tedious, relinquished control to Salome on the third day. To Arias's surprise, Salome, despite Hancock's inexperienced guidance, mastered boating skills in just half a day, prompting Arias to consider her intelligence.

Pondering future possibilities, Arias suggested, "This snake is so smart. Let's try giving her a Human-Human Fruit later. We can even let her practice Qi."

Reflecting on Renrenguo's potential location on Drum Island and the uncertainty of his fate, Arias mused, "If he's been eaten, obtaining the Human-Human Fruit may prove challenging."

Eager to test the newly installed power unit, Arias quickly connected it to the cockpit console.

*Buzz!*

With a loud bang, Hancock felt as if he was about to fly!

"Arias is so fast!"

She came outside excitedly, her hair messy by the sea breeze.

Although she is not old, she is quite experienced. This kind of speed is simply unheard of, let alone seen with her own eyes!

This speed is more than five times faster than before!

Arias is quite satisfied with this speed.

If it were not limited by the hull material, he could be faster!

The treasure tree Yukot is still wood, and even the treasure tree Adam has an upper limit.

If it were a steel hull, he would be able to fully utilize his weapon-refining skills.

After driving for a while, he handed over the driving task to Salome, and also taught the snake new functions.

Then, he dived into the studio again and took out the previous seastone bottom plate from the capsule.

He wants to modify this bottom plate and install it on the bottom of the boat.

In this way, the "Daybreak" can safely travel through the Calm Belt!

Hancock, who had been blowing the sea breeze outside the cabin for a while, got into the studio again and stared blankly at the Arias refiner.

On the sea, a Marine warship was cruising. Suddenly, they saw something approaching them quickly.

"what is that?"

A sailor on the observation deck looked at the ships coming from far and near. When he finally saw their appearance clearly, he was so shocked that he immediately reported it to his captain.

"Is this a ship?" the captain marveled, capturing a photo of the remarkably fast boat with his phone. Their mission included documenting abnormal occurrences during their patrols.

Days later, the Dawn anchored near a disabled island in Bangor waters. Hancock questioned, "Is this your hometown?" The remnants of the once-prosperous island hinted at its tragic history.

Arias, reflecting on the destruction, expressed sadness. Aware of the World Government's future investigations into his past, he felt the need for careful planning.

Hancock, offering comfort, embraced Arias and whispered, "You and I."

Afterward, Arias, with a re-refined seastone bottom plate, proceeded to install it beneath the ship. With a clap of his hands, he announced, "Done!" The ship's preliminary transformation was complete, providing camouflage against Sea Kings and featuring an automatic coating generation device.

The newly enhanced coating, utilizing qi and connected to the power device, surpassed the original by not only isolating seawater but also converting oxygen for breathing. Arias's innovative changes left Hancock in awe.

As they dived to the sea bottom, her amazement knew no bounds. "Arias, you are so smart!" she exclaimed, witnessing the unprecedented transformations.

Upon resurfacing, Hancock leaned on Arias's shoulders, having even removed her high heels for comfort. "Shall we go home?" she suggested.

Arias, embracing her waist, had other plans. "There's no rush. Let's go see New World!"

Despite North Blue being dominated by the Donquixote family and Germa 66, Arias aimed to explore the New World. His attempts to contact these forces in the past were hindered by their unpredictable movements.

While the Donquixote family was briefly encountered during the Op-Op Fruit incident on Mignon Island, Arias couldn't establish contact with Doflamingo due to evading Marine surveillance. With Germa 66 seemingly engaged in East Blue, the focus shifted to exploring the New World first.
