Water 7

Water 7. 

It is one of the most famous islands within Paradise, the first half of the Grand Line, and well-known for its shipbuilding industry. 

In a world where the ratio of land was less than the ocean, there was no doubt that it was one of the most profitable industries in the world. 

"Capital of Water..." 

As Masa thought about the nickname of this city, he felt that it was suitable since he could see how this island was about to sink. 

Was it the punishment to this island for creating the legendary ancient weapon? 

Masa couldn't help but think so, and when he thought of Enies Lobby, a government-controlled stronghold in Paradise, which had a gigantic hollow below it, and when he thought of this place, it reminded him of the memory of the fourth Masa, who had read the latest chapter of One Piece, he felt that this was similar to the accident of the Lulusia Kingdom, which was destroyed by the whim of the "god" of this world. 

Yet, frankly, even if he knew of such a future, there was probably nothing he could do, and he would do nothing, especially when the Lulusia Kingdom had made up their minds to break away from the World Government. 

As Masa had said before, the weak had no rights, and to live was either to become strong or oppress those who were weaker than them. 

If your status doesn't match, then just be obedient since no one will listen to the weak in this world. 

It might be cruel, but would the talk about justice and freedom be heard by those who had power? 

No way. 

It was because you had a power that people were willing to listen to your nonsense, like those headmasters of schools or leaders of companies who kept talking, yet no one dared to say anything and could only listen obediently. 

If the one who said those things was someone with a lower status, then would people even listen? 

Still, the talk about morals aside, Masa was curious about what the ancient weapon was. 

If he was talking about the future, then the mightiest weapon would be a nuclear-related weapon. 

Yet, would a nuclear-related weapon cause a large hole in the sea that was impossible to fill? 

More importantly, this weapon would also cause the sea level to rise, which confused him. 

In his original world, a similar phenomenon occurred in the Indian Ocean, known as a "Gravity Hole" or "Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL)."

The "Gravity Hole" is a circular depression that covers about 1.2 million square miles, just off India's southern coast. It's the lowest point in the geoid and the biggest gravitational anomaly in the Indian Ocean. The IOGL causes a 328-foot dip in sea level.

Until now, there is no clear answer for why this phenomenon happened, but everyone believes that it was formed by plumes of magma from the remnants of an ancient ocean bed.

These plumes may be related to the disappearance of the Tethys Ocean, which was much older than the Indian Ocean. As India's landmass drifted and collided with Asia, the Tethys Ocean disappeared, and fragments from its sunken floor were offset by the magma plumes.

Or, considering the origin of the author, this hole might be inspired by Naruto Whirlpool in Japan, which was a never-ending whirlpool located in Tokushima, caused by the interaction of the Seto Inland Sea and the Pacific Ocean, and the strait's unique underwater geography.

Still, considering the technology in One Piece, Masa believed that this ancient weapon must be an environment modification type of weapon. 

Similar to the technology of Vegapunk, Weatheria, or even Dance Powder on the "Alabasta Arc," which allowed the people in this world to manipulate the weather, which was part of the environment of the world

The ancient weapon in this world was probably the type of weapon that could modify the "very" environment of this world that might cause a disaster such as a flood, an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, etc. 

Well, no matter what kind of weapon the ancient weapon was, he knew that it was meaningless to think about that problem now. Instead, he should be thinking about the new ship that he was about to build, and considering the rise of the volume of the ocean, he knew that the bigger was better, so that way, it was possible to have a farm there, too. 

Yet, when he thought about the current technology of this world, except for Vegapunk, Masa couldn't help but sigh. 

Still, if Noah could stay alive in the great flood with an old ship that he built by himself even if he had no experience to build one, Masa knew that even if the world of One Piece's ship was a little backward, he could stay alive with an old ship.

Nevertheless, the food was still a problem since the size of the ship needed to be huge so Masa could have a farm on that ship since it was impossible for him to eat fish all the time, right? 

'Should I use the Ton Ton no Mi?' 

Masa knew that with the Ton Ton no Mi, he could make an island float, ignoring gravity, inertia, mass, and the rest like the power of Fuwa Fuwa no Mi of Shiki. By then, there was no need for him to build a ship, and he could live on the floating island all the time. 

Well, if he somehow "died," then all the floating islands would fall to the ground, and all the people that he brought would die, too. 

So, there was no doubt that a ship was necessary, especially a giant one. 

Yet, with the current technology and everything, was it even possible to create a giant ship in a short time? 

No, building a giant ship for many years would definitely be needed. 

'Unless...' 

Masa had that "Devil Fruit," he thought. 

"What's wrong?" Carina asked with doubt since Masa appeared to be in deep thought, and somehow, if he was in such a situation, she felt that something bad must be happening. 

"Did you think something dirty again, Masa?" Perona asked curiously.

Considering how pervy this guy was, she felt that this was probably what this bad guy thought. 

"....." Masa and Carina. 

"W-Why did you two stare at me that way?" 

If it was only Masa who stared at her speechlessly, Perona wouldn't care, but if it was Carina, then it was a different matter! 

'This woman...' 

Did she think that Carina had the upper hand since she was Masa's first? 

'Hmph!' 

Perona knew Masa's taste well after she stayed with him, and she was going to make sure that he was crazy about her! 

"...this girl is stupidly cute," Carina said with a sigh. 

"Let her." Masa didn't care much about Perona's thoughts; after all, everyone's level of education in this world was so different. Not everyone could be smart and level-headed like those who were in positions of leadership in this world. 

Or rather, even those with a high status were sometimes stupid. 

No, in this world, those with high status were stupid since they had no need to study to live and could enjoy their lives in debauchery without worry. 

In this world, if people were smart because they had no one to rely on and they weren't strong, they had to use their heads to live, such as Carina and Nami, who relied on their cunningness to live. 

Masa knew that, and that was why he treasured Carina since, whether it was Perona or Brook, neither of them had a good head. 

Well, Brook's IQ was quite good, Masa thought, but Perona's? 

Let's forget this woman who loved cute and gloomy things.

"By the way, what kind of ship do you want to build? Is it a gloomy one like Thriller Bark?" Perona asked with a cute tone as she leaned him and deliberately pressed her ample breaths against him. 

"...no, but I can make a gothic and horror-like room for you on the ship later." 

"It's a promise~!" Perona kissed his cheek several times happily, causing Carina to roll her eyes, thinking that it was good for being ignorant. 

Still, Carina was probably jealous, so she looked away. Fortunately, Masa wasn't dumb or ignorant, so he held her waist softly, which caused her to look at him helplessly before she leaned on his shoulder. 

Well, this was the life of the strong.

Because of that, Masa knew that he had to continue to become stronger or stronger. 

Nevertheless, this time, besides the ship, he knew it was time for him to get his fourth Devil Fruit. 

Still, Carina and Perona, who were by his side, stared at his face and wondered if it was their imagination, but had their man become more handsome?
