[80] Elsama
The Grand Line, Paradise.
In Alabasta, specifically on an empty beach.
There was a large ship anchored in the calm waters, a strange silence hung over the area, and the ship seemed empty. The night added a halo of horror to the scene.
Inside the ship, in "the other dimension".
Ren looked at the message hanging in the air calmly and read the contents with a smile on his lips.
¶ [Super Ship Features]
¶ [1- Auto Control: This is a mechanism that allows the Master to control various ship actions with just one idea. Control permission can be transferred to any crew member approved by the master.]
"What commands are available, Miss System?" Ren asked, and she quickly replied:
[Humph, I won't give you a spoiler, Master.]
"..."
Ren didn't speak further and read the rest of the notices.
¶ [2- Building Capability in The Dimension: This feature allows the master to build houses/facilities/training grounds in this dimension by paying money and specifying what they want to build.]
"Give me more details."
[As you wish, master~]
Ren was surprised by her submissive tone compared to her tsun tone earlier, but he focused on the options presented to him.
¶ [Small House (Modern Specifications), Price: 100 million 𝕭.]
¶ [Medium House (Modern Specifications), Price: 200 million 𝕭.]
¶ [Large House (Modern Specifications), Price: 500 million 𝕭.]
¶ [Luxurious Palace (Modern Specifications), Price: 800 million 𝕭.]
¶ [Swimming Pool (Modern Specifications), Price: 50 million 𝕭.]
¶ [Training Hall (Modern Specifications), Price: 100 million 𝕭.]
There were many 3D images of various buildings and facilities, and many new items were added to the system's store.
He even saw electronic devices like TVs, PlayStations, and gaming equipment.
"Damn..." Ren exclaimed in slight surprise.
But then he immediately noticed a small note sent by Miss System:
[These items can only be used in the master's "dimension" and cannot be taken out into the outside world.]
Ren guessed that Miss System placed this condition because she didn't want this maritime world to lose its unique character. If it had the same technology as Earth, would it still be considered a separate world? Its identity would be lost, so this restriction was reasonable and good.
Ren made a small plan to develop his own island, then he read the rest of the notices.
¶ [3- Flying Ability: The super ship can fly in the air at speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour.]
¶ [Diving Capability: The ship can transform into a submarine capable of withstanding pressure below 10,000 meters under The sea!.]
¶ [Unbreakable Barrier: The ship has a defensive mechanism in the form of an unbreakable barrier, which can be used once a day and lasts for 2 hours.]
[That's all, master ♡ ~]
What caught Ren's attention the most was the barrier, considered a defensive measure for the ship. This could be very useful in life-and-death situations, although it disappears after 2 hours of activation and can only be activated once a day. Still, it was definitely a winning card.
As for the flying ability, Ren already knew about it since Miss System mentioned it when he got the super ship, so he wasn't surprised.
"Diving, huh..." He looked at the section where the system explained the diving ability and immediately thought of Fish-men Island.
"This is indeed a fantastic ship. I can confidently say that I own the best ship in the world," Ren exclaimed with admiration.
"But a good ship needs a good name." He put his hand on his chin and began to think seriously about a suitable name.
Ren Having mastered several languages in his previous life, a total of five, he searched his photographic memory for a term that would be suitable for this ship.
The name had to reflect the qualities of the ship: powerful, large, extraordinary, and miraculous. These were the specifications of his ship. After several minutes, he quickly found a suitable name.
"From now on, your name is Elsama."
[A/N: Elsama= The Sky]
After naming the ship, Ren decided to enter the newly appeared house and meet the girls.
---
"Everything is strange here."
"Yes, is this heaven, Captain?"
"Hehehe~ I never dreamed I'd live in a house with such comfortable amenities."
Ren looked at the girls who were quietly relaxing on a soft couch. Vivi was watching the large black screen curiously; it seemed she didn't know how to turn on the TV.
Meanwhile, Mikita was in the kitchen, smiling excitedly as she prepared lemon juice. She found the lemons in a refrigerator, she quickly tried to make lemon juice using some strange tools (juicer and strainer).
Such incidents happened with the rest of the girls, making them realize that the technology and facilities in this house were far more advanced than those in the Grand Line.
Perhaps only the World Government laboratories possess such technology.
___
[A/N: In One Piece world, there are advanced machines like the Pacifista and the Seraphim, in addition to inventions made by Franky, not to mention the Vegapunk laboratory and its clever inventions. However, this advanced technology is restricted to the World Government and Vegapunk. The rest of the world's population lives without even knowing about this technology, (Except for the Four Emperors ) , Therefore, Ren's house in Elsama can be considered the best house in the world.]
___
And there was something that made them ascend to the upper floor (an elevator). There were also glass doors and windows that opened and closed with just a press of a button, in addition to lights that turned on automatically.
They explored the house for some time while Ren was outside, and they all had one idea in their minds —we love this!
Ren explained everything to them, all the facilities and different tools. They listened to him without uttering a word and etched his words into their minds.
They didn't know how Ren knew these things, but they were already used to it.
"I feel like this is familiar..."
Lorena suddenly said, making everyone, especially Ren, look at her deeply and happily...
'My guess was right after all!' he said internally, trying to suppress his happiness.
"What do you mean, Lorena? How is this familiar?" Vivi asked in confusion.
"Do you mean you've been in a house like this before?" Mikita joined in and asked.
The rest of the girls looked at her curiously, waiting for her to speak.
When Lorena saw that all eyes were on her, she didn't tense up and answered, "I- i don't know... but I feel like all these things are familiar," she said sadly, as if something painful had begun to awaken inside her, a painful memory...
"That's strange..."
Vivi said, looking at Lorena's bewildered state.
"It seems like you're not okay, Lorena. Take a break, Vivi, please take care of her," Ren said, becoming certain in his heart of this girl's identity.
So what changed after he found out? A lot of things changed, no, it could be said that a heavy burden was removed from his heart.
You might wonder why he doesn't talk to Lorena and add her to his crew or maybe his harem? Well, he must first find the memory key and remove the seal on it. After that, everything will be easy.
Ren sighed and left the house while saying to the others, "Come, I'll show you something."
Nami, Nojiko, Robin, Kaya, Mikita , Zala and the others looked at each other in confusion and mild anticipation, then followed him.
---
"We're here."
Ren stopped at the beach, then ordered Nami to come to him. She quickly stood in front of him under the curious eyes of the other girls.
"Close your eyes, Nami," the beautiful orange-haired girl heard his voice and did as he wanted.
He placed the tip of his index finger on her forehead and said internally, "Miss System, share control authority of the ship with crew member Nami."
[As the master wishes.]
The distinctive and ethereal voice of Miss System came, and then a white light began to emanate from Ren's fingertip and entered Nami's head, who didn't feel any panic.
"What's this?" Zala said in confusion.
"Kyahaha~ will Nami become stronger?" Mikita looked at the girl standing in front of the captain and said with a slight laugh.
"Whatever it is, it must be something useful for Nami-san, right?" Kaya said in her usual gentle voice.
"Does it have to do with this magical place?" Nojiko put her hand on her large chest and wondered.
"Fufufu~ I bet we'll be surprised again," Robin laughed elegantly, guessing what would happen.
Back to Nami, the white light that entered her head disappeared, then the girl opened her eyes with a confused look.
"This... I understand now!" she said with a voice carrying a touch of joy and shock.
She had gained a lot of information about how this ship works, its features, and also, she was extremely shocked when she learned that Elsama could fly, dive, and also had a solid defensive barrier.
It was undoubtedly a miracle! There couldn't be a ship in the world with such specifications!
Her gaze towards Ren became more loving, worshipful, and crazy...
The yandere was evolving...
"From now on, you'll be the navigator of this ship, which I've named Elsama," Ren's voice spread in the surrounding environment, Nami and the other girls managed to hear it. The girls who knew the name of the ship reacted among themselves.
"Hmm, what does Elsama mean?" Zala asked.
"Ask the captain about that." Mikita looked at her with her usual smile and replied.
"Fufufu~ We now have a "moving island," this is completely unbelievable." Robin laughed elegantly.
"Nothing is impossible with Captain Ren." Kaya smiled and touched the ring in her finger.
Robin: ???
She looked at this scene with surprise and failed to understand what Kaya meant, also noting that she cherished the ring in her finger very much.
The thing that unsettled her was that she saw Nojiko also had a ring similar to hers. Everything seemed fine and could be explained as they just had a peculiar hobby of loving rings. But she discovered that Nami sometimes took the ring from Nojiko and wore it.
Robin, being very observant of her surroundings, felt something strange. She decided she needed to ask Kaya or Nojiko about it later.
Back to Nami.
"I'll be at your service, Captain Ren!"
She replied firmly and resolutely, then heard Ren's voice again: "Take control of the ship now."
"Okay."
Nami answered, and then the next moment, a blue screen appeared in the air. The girls were able to see the ethereal blue screen as well.
'Hmm... it resembles the system interface, but judging by the girls' reactions, it seems that all the crew members can see it,' Ren thought internally.
"What is this thing?"
"This must be because of the white light that came out of the captain's finger a while ago."
"Look! Another screen appeared. Is this... the sea?!"
Zala exclaimed as she looked at several medium-sized screens showing different scenes.
The common thing in them was that all the scenes contained the sea and... sand!
And the scene shown on the screen resembled the scene on the beach where Elsama docked!
"I can monitor the ship like this, Captain. These screens show scenes around the ship from all sides, like having an eye that sees in a complete 360° range," Nami recalled the information she got from the white light and said.
She knew that Ren probably knew these things, but she had to do her job as a navigator. Besides, the other girls didn't know about this, so she would boast a little.
"Continue, show me what else you can do," Ren smiled at her.
Under the amazed eyes of the previously bewildered girls, the scenes on the screens changed again.
Dozens of cannons appeared in the new picture, and after mentally ordering Nami, they began firing.
---
In the outside world.
In The beach where Elsama docked.
If someone were here, they would see an interesting scene unfolding.
Some changes occurred to the large ship standing firmly.
Several cannons emerged from small openings compared to the size of the ship.
These cannons weren't primitive like the rest of the ships in this world. On the contrary, even the artillery shells were missiles.
*Creak~*
*Click~*
With the sound of machinery moving, dozens of these advanced cannons emerged from all hidden places on the ship.
But it didn't stop there.
The main cannon located under the front tower of the ship appeared.
It was larger than the other small cannons, and its missiles were more powerful. The cannon moved automatically, and missiles were fed into it without any human intervention. It was as if the ship had a soul of its own.
This process happened quickly, in fact, it only took seconds, and dozens of cannons equipped with dozens of destructive missiles appeared.
Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded throughout the royal capital, and dozens of missiles were launched all at once by Nami's command!
*Boom!!!*
*Boom!!!*
*Boom!!!*
*Boom!!!*
The booming sounds of explosions and shells spread throughout the royal capital, causing many people to wake up from their sleep in panic.
In the royal palace.
"W-What's happening?!" Cobra shouted as he heard a loud and booming sound. He was about to sleep, but he quickly jumped out of his bed and rushed out of his room. He saw the palace in a state of panic, with soldiers walking everywhere to prepare to deal with any threat.
"Calm down! What happened?" Cobra shouted, relieving some of their tension.
"It seems that there are loud explosions coming from somewhere on the beach, Your Majesty."
___
Back on Elsama.
Inside the dimension.
The girls looked in shock at the devastation caused by Elsama's missiles.
The beach they were on was violently blasted, and even the sea wasn't spared from the explosions. The missiles killed many fishs, and the sea began to turn red.
"If such an attack were launched on Alubarna..."
*Gulp.*
Zala swallowed in fear, trying not to think about what would happen.
"What a terrifying firepower!" Robin said seriously.
"Did you see those missiles? I've never seen anything like this before. They're different from primitive artillery shells," Zala said with awe.
"Our ship... is amazing!! Kyahaha!"
"Fufufu~ I agree with you, Mikita." Nojiko laughed and admired the ship even more.
But they soon heard Nami's voice again.
"Dive!"
The screens showing the destruction on the beach turned, revealing a different scene.
___
In the outside world.
Before Nami said the word "dive," the small cannons and the main cannon retreated inside and disappeared into the complex structure of the ship.
But that wasn't all.
A white light began to envelop the large ship, forming a barrier around it.
The water no longer touched the ship anymore!
*Splash!*
*Splash!*
With the sound of water splashing, Elsama plunged into the deep sea and disappeared from the beach.
After several minutes of diving, dozens of soldiers riding fast horses emerged.
King Cobra led them.
"What happened here?!" he screamed in horror when he saw the extent of the recent destruction and the deep craters that had been created not long ago.
'Didn't Vivi say she was going with Mr. Ren to the beach? I hope she's safe...' Cobra sighed internally, but he was confident that Vivi wasn't harmed cause she was With Ren.
__
Inside Elsama.
"It can dive too?" Zala said in a dazed voice... she had been shocked a lot today and couldn't bear to feel shocked again, at least not now.
"It seems there's nothing this ship can't do," Mikita chuckled as she looked at the blue screens showing the scene underwater clearly.
Apparently, the ship had built-in lighting that was naturally activated after diving, allowing passengers to see the scene in the dark sea.
The technicians saw many different fish and sea cats, even sea monsters passed by the side of the ship and tried to attack it, but they were blown up by the missiles.
The delicate barrier protected the ship from the water only, and it didn't seem to be able to defend against anything else, so Ren concluded that it wasn't like the defensive barrier that could be activated once a day.
"Fufufu~ I'll lose my mind someday if I think about the things Captain Ren shows us logically," Robin laughed, expressing her shock.
She wouldn't be surprised even if the ship could fly now; it had its fill of surprises today.
"Ahh~ Captain Ren is so amazing ♡~" Nojiko's eye pupils turned into hearts, and she said softly, but Robin saw this scene and sighed.
It's not like I'm feeling jealous... why would I feel jealous anyway? I just respect the captain...
She didn't have a chance to think further because Nami's voice came again.
"Fly!"
___
In the depths of the Grand Line, there was a ship enveloped in silver-white light rising to the surface in a strange way.
It was as if there was a strange energy directly lifting it up at a very high speed. In just a few minutes, it was close to the surface.
*Splash!*
*Splash!*
The ship appeared in all its glory on the surface, with the waves tearing and the sound of water splashing loudly. But it didn't end there; the ship began to rise even higher and didn't stop!
It was going to fly towards the sky!
The white light from the ship never disappeared; Elsama pierced its way into the starry sky, moving at an astonishing speed of up to 300 kilometers per hour!
___
"This god feels bored..."
A tall, bare-chested man opened his eyes with an expression of boredom on his face.
"I'm a god and I feel bored? That's nonsense! Foolishness! Die!!!"
*Rumble!!*
*Clatter!!*
*Boom!!*
The angry blue thunder struck some unfortunate servants and turned them into ash.
The god grinned madly at seeing the servants who failed to entertain him turning into ash, but his mood never improved.
"It seems I must return to my divine slumber..."
The god closed his eyes with an expression of dissatisfaction.
Fortunately for him, his boredom would disappear soon.
