As the Bead Rider drifted closer to the island, the city of Water 7 came into view. Its unique architecture sprawled out before them, a testament to human adaptability and resilience in the face of nature's whims. The city appeared like a dynamic painting, a masterpiece crafted meticulously with time, the wooden structures protruding from the turquoise sea like centuries-old sea creatures claiming their dominion.

"This is Water 7," Jack said, his calm blue eyes studying the city from afar. His voice carried the weight of years of experience, knowledge, and wisdom, making his proclamation more of a reverent whisper than a statement.

"Daddy, it's floating!" Aria exclaimed, her eyes wide with awe as she clung to his arm.

Jack glanced at his daughter, his face devoid of any overt expression, but his eyes, that calm blue sea, twinkling with warmth. "Yes, Princess, it is," he acknowledged, "A city on the water. A testament to human ingenuity."

Ponis, always curious and eager to learn, looked at the city with fascination. "It's incredible," she whispered, her voice filled with awe. "I never knew such places existed below Sky Island."

Jack smirked slightly, "There are more wonders in the world than any one person could see in a lifetime, Ponis."

As they got closer, the details of the city became clearer. They could see the waterways threading through the city like veins, gondolas and boats of varying sizes maneuvering the intricate network of canals with practiced ease. The city was alive with activity; people, laughter, shouts, and the ever-present sound of hammer against metal from the distant shipyards.

Robin, her wide eyes flicking from one spectacle to another, squealed in delight, "Water! Water!" She clapped her little hands, repeating the word with joyous fervor.

Jack nodded, "Yes, Robin, water. This city is famous for its shipwrights. They say there isn't a ship they can't fix or build here."

The Bead Rider, despite its bulky appearance, maneuvered through the city's canals with surprising agility, powered by its silent engines. Jack steered it smoothly around corners, under bridges, and along the narrow waterways. The heart of the city opened up before them, a stunning urban tapestry of architectural wonders set against the backdrop of the sea.

Aria's eyes were wide as saucers as she soaked in the sights. "Daddy, this is so amazing!" She exclaimed, gripping his arm tightly as she pointed at the unique buildings lining the canals.

Jack grinned down at her. "Indeed, Princess," he said, his calm eyes sparkling with amusement. "Water 7 is a city unlike any other."

Robin, nestled securely against him, was equally fascinated by the scenery. She squealed in delight at the bustling activity around them, clapping her small hands. "Water! Boat!" she chanted, her enthusiasm infectious.

"Yes, Robin," Jack responded warmly, "Lots of boats here."

The people of Water 7 went about their daily lives, not minding the curious Bead Rider drifting past. Vendors shouted out their goods, children chased after each other, and the shipwrights continued their ceaseless toil, creating magnificent ships with expert hands.

Ponis was in awe of the energy around them. "The people here are so lively, so different from Skypiea," she observed, her eyes wide and gleaming. "And the buildings, they're all built on water."

Jack nodded, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Every city has its unique charm, Ponis. Water 7, for all its might and beauty, owes its life to the sea."

As they journeyed deeper into the city, Aria asked, "Daddy, are there people with Haki here, too?" Her voice was small but filled with curiosity.

Jack considered her question. "Possibly, Princess. Haki isn't bound to a place or a people. It is a power that anyone can wield, should they have the ability and will to unlock it," he answered, his voice steady and assured.

Aria digested this information, nodding solemnly. "I want to learn it," she declared, her tiny fists clenched in determination.

Jack's eyes softened, a faint smile playing on his lips. "You will, Princess," he promised, "You will."

Parking the Bead Rider in a quiet back canal where not many people could be seen, Jack dismounted with Aria clinging to his arm and Robin nestled against him. He stored the Bead Rider in his pocket space with a single motion, a testament to his control over the bead's unique abilities.

Looking around the narrow canal lined with quaint buildings, Jack finally called upon his other family members, summoning them from the pocket space. One by one, they appeared in a series of soft pops, each arrival causing Robin to squeal with glee.

Amelia, Aria's mother, appeared first, her soft hazel eyes taking in the sights with a small smile. "Jack, this place is beautiful," she commented, her voice carrying a hint of wonder.

He nodded in response, his calm blue eyes meeting hers, "It is, indeed."

Next came Olvia, Robin's mother. Her eyes widened as she took in the scenery, her arms instinctively reaching out to hold Robin. The little girl happily launched herself into her mother's arms, shouting, "Mama! Water!"

Liana, his mother, and Luna, his sister, arrived next. Their eyes, mirroring his calm blue, roamed the area curiously. "A city on water," Luna murmured, her voice tinged with fascination.

Sophie, his childhood friend, and her mother, Isabella, followed. They exchanged a glance before Sophie said, "Only you could find such a place, Jack."

Titi, the blue-haired adventure-loving woman who joined him by giving up her chance to become the Queen of Arabasta, appeared last. She was immediately taken in by the city's charm, her blue eyes sparkling with excitement. "I'm ready for our next adventure, Jack!" she exclaimed.

Finally, Ponis stepped forward, her face a canvas of awe and wonder as she took in the city's unique architecture and lively streets. "I never imagined such a place existed below Sky Island," she confessed, her voice barely more than a whisper.

Jack's family gathered around him, their eyes filled with curiosity and wonder as they took in the new world around them. He watched them, his face calm but his eyes glowing with a quiet, almost imperceptible, warmth.

"Ladies," Jack finally said, his voice carrying a rare note of playfulness, "Welcome to Water 7."
