The Location of the Mizu Mizu no Mi.

"The captain has been on that ship," Van Augur remarked, tapping his shoulder with his gun out of habit. He spoke with a stoic expression, "But that ship seems to be alive and is resisting the captain."

"It's shaking violently as if the ship itself is trying to throw the captain off," he added.

Upon hearing his words, everyone gathered to look ahead. While they were closer now, they still couldn't make out the situation. All they could discern was a looming black shadow.

"What the heck, I need to get a telescope one of these days!" grumbled Burgess, who was growing increasingly impatient.

Kuro adjusted his glasses, his eyes gleaming as he analyzed, "It appears to be alive, and it seems to have consumed a Devil Fruit."

Lafitte propped his cane in front of him and smiled gently, "No need for speculation; you'll get your answers soon. It's a ship that's more than meets the eye."

Amidst the tumultuous movements and splashes caused by the strange ship, Ethan remained standing on the deck, as if rooted in place.

Let it bombard us all it wants; I won't budge!

"Surrender to me!" Ethan commanded with a cold stare, causing Conqueror's Haki to radiate outward, creating a ripple effect.

With a resounding boom, the ship's hull shattered, revealing numerous visible marks of damage.

The whale ceased its tumultuous rolling and became motionless. Cold sweat trickled down its massive head, betraying a frightened expression.

It appeared that something significant had occurred!

Suddenly, the ship jolted up and down, as if nodding in agreement, choosing to surrender.

"From now on your name will be the Leviathan Fang," told Ethan to the ship to which it was agitated in a positive way

Ethan remained unfazed by the outcome. He kept his arms crossed and stood calmly, awaiting their approach.

Witnessing this, Van Augur nodded approvingly and revealed a rare, faint smile on his typically stern countenance.

"The captain has spoken; it had no choice."

"This is destiny."

This time, no one needed to ask him. With the shorter distance, they could see the situation above.

Makino, with her beautiful eyes, blinked in curiosity. Her face displayed fascination as she mused, "This mysterious ship... why does it look like a whale?"

Kaya nodded in agreement, humming thoughtfully. Her face brimmed with interest as she said, "What a peculiar ship, shrouded in mystery."

"It must be a whale," Reiju chimed in softly, gently stroking her delicate chin. "If I had to guess, it has consumed a Devil Fruit to take on the appearance of a ship."

Carina's enchanting eyes sparkled with mischief as she grinned, "A Devil Fruit that turns you into a ship, how fascinating!"

Perona floated over to Baccarat's side, her small face wearing a curious expression as she hurriedly asked, "Sister Baccarat, do you remember which Devil Fruit this is?"

Honey Queen also fixed her gaze on Bacala, her brows arching as she said, "Sister Baccarat, I'm quite familiar with the Devil Fruit illustrated book, so I should know."

Baccarat brushed her crimson hair back, her smile serene as she replied, "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's likely a Paramecia-type the Ship Ship Fruit."

Carmen observed them, furrowing her beautiful brows in doubt as she questioned, "I have a question. Aren't Devil Fruit powers supposed to be nullified by seawater?"

Carmen is the new member of the crew while they were sailing they crossed paths with her and invited her to join which she easily accepted.

"You're cursed by the sea, rendering you powerless and unable to set foot on the ocean," she continued. "So how is it that this whale, or rather, this ship, can traverse the sea without issue? It seems rather peculiar."

Nojiko nodded, her expression thoughtful as she commented, "I wanted to ask that question as well, but I couldn't wrap my head around it."

Nami looked at the two of them, blinked her large eyes, and offered a pure smile, "It's not peculiar; it's logical!"

Ordinary Devil Fruit users would be rendered powerless in the sea, incapable of any action.

"But this Ship Ship Fruit allows its user to become a ship. If the ship couldn't sail the sea, it wouldn't be much of a ship, right?" Moodie remarked, running her fingers through her light blonde hair. She grinned, saying, "Nami's got it right; it makes perfect sense."

Upon hearing their conversation, Burgess burst into laughter. "Since there are ships and ship-ship fruits, it stands to reason that they can navigate the sea without fear," he asserted.

"Imagine if there were a Mizu Mizu no mi! With it, one could control the entire sea and summon it at will," he continued, raising his arms high and letting out a hearty laugh. "And the best part is that once you've eaten it, all those pesky Devil Fruit users will be finished! Wiiiihahahaha..."

A mysterious smile graced Doc Q's weathered face. "A fruit like that can't exist, so don't get your hopes up," he warned.

Kuro adjusted his glasses, his eyes gleaming with wisdom as he spoke rationally, "In theory, a Logia-type Devil Fruit is plausible."

"But a Devil Fruit that directly opposes the sea's very nature? I find it highly unlikely that such a fruit exists in this world."

Law held his Kikoku and sighed, his aloof demeanor intact. "Light, magma, and other natural phenomena have all been harnessed," he pointed out. "Yet, throughout history, we've never heard of a Mizu Mizu no mi. It's non-existent."

Lafitte, twirling his cane, looked at Baccarat with a polite smile as he inquired, "Baccarat, have you perused the Devil Fruit illustrated book? Does it mention a Mizu Mizu no mi?"

Baccarat pushed her crimson hair back and nodded slightly, her gentle demeanor unwavering. "No, there's no mention of such a Devil Fruit in the book. It's not documented."

Betty took a drag from her cigarette, her indifference unchanged. "How could a Devil Fruit that has never appeared before be documented in the book?" she reasoned.

"But didn't Sister Baccarat say that the Water Logia exists? She's relying on her intuition," Honey Queen remarked, smiling as she gazed at the man in black. "After all, Ethan has been searching for it."

"The fruit's enigmatic nature even stumps my elder sister, who is an expert. She can't sense its presence at all," Reiju chimed in, blinking her beautiful eyes. "I'm confident that Baccarat will find it eventually. There's no doubt in my mind."

Burgess chuckled heartily, "If the Mizu Mizu no mi does exist, it will be incredible!"

Hawkins muttered softly, his tone gloomy, "The Logia of the Water is a terrifying prospect."

"I look forward to that day, to see what the Water Logia will look like," Lafitte chimed in with a mysterious smile.

Van Augur patted his shoulder with his gun, speaking with conviction, "I believe that whatever the captain sets his mind to, he will accomplish without a doubt."

Kuro furrowed his brow, shaking his head as he spoke pragmatically, "A Devil Fruit that has never appeared in history won't be easy to find."

"I suspect it's likely located in the depths of the sea. Only then could it explain why no one has ever acquired it."

Lafitte adjusted his top hat and offered a slight, knowing smile. "Your theory holds merit."

"In the deepest recesses of the sea, it remains undiscovered, making it impossible to obtain," he concluded. "But don't fret; the captain will find it."

Meanwhile, Ethan had made his way to the side of the whaleboat, and Pato called out excitedly, "Boss~~" before leaping onto the whaleboat and bouncing towards Ethan.

Above the Leviathan Fang,

"Captain, are you certain the whale consumed the Fune Fune no mi?" Burgess gazed at the black ship, chuckled, and inquired.

Doc Q cleared his throat and replied, "Aren't you talking nonsense? No need to ask."

Gin moved to the ship's bow and observed it for a moment, saying, "This ship seems quite extraordinary. Is there something peculiar about it?"

"Since it ate the Fune Fune no mi, I believe it can change the ship's shape at will," Kuro stated, habitually adjusting his glasses while calmly analyzing the situation.

Van Augur tapped his shoulder with a grin and remarked, "The elusive ship we've searched for over hundreds of years has finally appeared today."

"This must be fate!" Lafitte leaned his cane in front of him and smiled faintly. "What others can't do, only we can."

"After all, we are the most powerful pirate group in the world!"

At this point, Reiju touched her delicate chin, smiled, and said, "I recall that after consuming the Fune Fune no mi, it's true that it can modify the ship at will."

"But can this whale understand what we're saying?"

Carina's interest was piqued, her beautiful eyes darting around. She grinned and said, "Whale-ship, can you make it larger?"

As soon as she uttered these words, the deck abruptly expanded outward, making the entire ship much larger.

It now looked even more imposing with Haki!

This sudden transformation left everyone stunned.

They were utterly astonished.

"Amazing, truly amazing!"Kaya's eyes widened, a shocked expression on her fair and delicate face. She murmured in awe.

Makino nodded in agreement, her voice filled with emotion. "The sea is filled with so many strange wonders."

"Indeed, venturing out to sea for adventures is undoubtedly the right choice."

Nojiko sweetly smiled and concurred, "This is unbelievable. If we were to tell others, no one would believe it."

Moodie ran her fingers through her hair and spoke softly, "It's astonishing enough that whales can consume Devil Fruits."

"Now, even the hull of a ship can be transformed, which is impressive!"Honey Queen looked at her crew with sparkling eyes, her excitement evident.

"It appears we'll need to switch ships again. This one is undoubtedly the most suitable."

"It can change at will, and its sailing speed is the fastest."

"In this world, there's no better pirate ship than this one, I'm certain!"

Betty took a deep breath and calmly stated, "With this peculiar ship, our journey to the Grand Line will be considerably shorter."

Nami waved her hands enthusiastically, her pretty face filled with excitement. She quickly added, "Let's not dwell on this; the rest doesn't matter much."

"Now, let's start refurbishing this ship. I want to live in a spacious cabin! Hahaha..."

Perona, floating in the air, laughed with the tinkling sound of a bell. "Yes, yes, this princess also desires a large room."

"I'll design it myself, Horohorohorohoro~~"

All the women were thrilled and promptly began discussing room designs and layouts.

The men on board were equally elated.

"With this ship, we can conquer the entire sea! Wiiiihahahaha..."

Burgess raised his arms, jubilant, his voice resonating loudly.

Doc Q, still sporting an unpleasant smile, commented, "In the future, if we encounter pursuit from the Marines, we can easily outpace them, leaving them in our wake. Hehe~~"

Kuro pushed up his glasses with his palm, a rare, faint smile on his face. He remarked, "This ship must be the finest on the entire sea, without a doubt."

"It can change at will and is the fastest; it's perfect. Undoubtedly, it's the third of its kind in the world." Law embraced Kikoku and nodded, in full agreement.

Hawkins, playing cards, muttered quietly, "Our crew's strength has once again increased."

"We haven't even entered the Grand Line yet, but all the external conditions are in place."

"Just a step away from reaching Alabasta and becoming Shichibukai."

Gin, practicing Armament Haki, said nonchalantly from the side, "With this ship's speed, we'll likely become Shichibukai before the captain's battle even begins."

Lafitte adjusted his top hat, his face adorned with a rare, excited expression. He spoke softly.

"Our crew continues to improve, and it's time for a major endeavor."

"Let our name spread throughout the entire sea!"

At this moment, Ethan waved his hand and declared enthusiastically, "My friends, gather everything here. We're about to hold a banquet!"

Stunned.

Everyone was still trying to process this unexpected development.

From setting sail to now, they had never held a banquet before.

This was the first time.

It left them all in a state of disbelief.

Once they regained their senses, a deafening cheer erupted from the crew within moments.

"Fantastic! The captain is finally hosting a banquet! Hahaha..."

"From the moment we set sail until now, this is the happiest day of my life,~~"

"Hurry up, no time to chat. Help me move things; look!"

"I'm so excited, so happy, I want to hug someone..."

"Come on, gather 'round and join me,~~~"

"Don't you dare shove me, damn it!!"

The crew members below danced joyfully, appearing utterly ecstatic.

Pato jumped up and down, clapping his hands. He wore a wide grin and said, "Banquets are my favorite! Hehehe~~"

Bepo looked at Pato, his face adorned with a smile. "I also enjoy banquets. Sister Carmen's food is delightful."

"Our captain's decision to hold a banquet is somewhat unexpected. Wiiihahahaha."

Burgess laughed, his excitement palpable.

Doc Q cleared his throat and remarked, "I suspect our captain may have some mental instability; this isn't like him."

Law observed Hawkins, his demeanor as icy as ever. "The captain is in unusually high spirits today, a rare occurrence."

"East Blue has been conquered, and the next step is entering the Grand Line."

Hawkins commented matter-of-factly, "So, it's understandable that the captain plans to hold a banquet."

Gin paused his Armament Haki practice, "The captain, who values time so much, must have a good reason for planning this. He holds the banquet in high regard."

Kuro, ever composed and logical, asserted, "Given the speed of this ship, we'll likely become Shichibukai before the captain's anticipated battle."

Lafitte's smile widened a rare expression of excitement on his fair face. He spoke softly.

"The captain's decision to hold a banquet has filled me with excitement."

"I mentioned it to the captain previously, but he had neither the time nor the interest."

"Now that a banquet is on the horizon, what a rare opportunity!"

Upon hearing Ethan's announcement, the women ceased their discussions, exchanged glances, and erupted in laughter.

Honey Queen, her excitement evident, exclaimed with a sweet smile, "This is wonderful! After waiting for so long, the banquet is finally happening!"

Betty took a drag from her cigarette and sighed with emotion, "It's been quite a journey. I thought we'd only have a banquet after becoming Shichibukai."

Nami gazed at Moodie, blinked her big eyes, and smiled, "Sister Moodie, make sure to prepare lots of wine. I enjoy your wine the most."

"Sister Carmen, I want your mushroom stew. It's the most delicious soup I've ever had."

Kaya looked at Carmen with arched eyebrows, her smile sweet and innocent, utterly charming.

Carmen wrapped her arms around herself, smiling, and replied, "It's a minor matter. Since it's a rare occasion, I'll give it my all."

Moodie nodded, her smile unwavering, "Absolutely. Since it's our first banquet, I'll put in extra effort."

Carina couldn't contain her excitement and applauded, "We have delectable food, fine wine, and now, this treasure of a ship."

"Today is truly cause for celebration. The banquet is the highlight, hehehe~~"

Perona, hovering in the air, continued to laugh. "Yes, yes, a party! I love parties the most, Horohorohorohoro!"

Makino glanced at Moodie, speaking softly and tenderly, "I've worked in the tavern for many years; I'll be there to help."

Reiju and Baccarat exchanged smiles, both pleased.

"After all this time at sea, it's time for some relaxation."

Baccarat brushed her dark red hair and said with a slight smile, "Ethan has been training diligently. He must be exhausted."

Reiju nodded gently, her smile warm, "It's not just him who needs to unwind; we all do."

"I'm looking forward to the banquet~~"
