Chapter 10

"Captain."

Upon hearing the call, Carnes instinctively turned his head towards Demiurge, standing beside him, with some confusion.

"What's the matter?"

As Carnes asked inquisitively, Demiurge also paused for a moment, responding with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?"

This time, it was Carnes who paused for a moment.

He was certain that he had heard someone calling his name.

And there was only Demiurge beside him.

If it wasn't him calling, then who could it be?

Perplexed, Carnes was about to ask Demiurge about it.

But just as the question formed in his mind, the voice echoed once again, as if sensing Carnes' confusion.

"It's me, Captain. I'm the Ship Spirit of the Eternal Gale."

Upon hearing this voice, Carnes quickly turned his head towards the mast, where the skull-adorned flag with a crown was flying.

"You?"

Beside him, noticing Carnes' unusual reaction, Demiurge also sensed something amiss.

Following Carnes' gaze, Demiurge looked at the flag as well.

After a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he spoke with a hint of realization.

"So, you're 'alive'? It's quite unexpected!"

Even Carnes couldn't help but agree with Demiurge's observation.

"Indeed, it's surprising!"

The crowned skull on the flag trembled slightly.

The next moment, it opened its mouth and spoke.

"Captain, there's no need to be surprised. It is you who has given me a new life, allowing me to speak like this."

As the Ship Spirit spoke, the crew members on the ship paused their tasks and looked up at the pirate flag hanging from the mast.

"Wait, did I hear correctly?"

"The flag... is talking?"

"I heard it too. It can't be wrong."

The crew members expressed their astonishment.

However, the Ship Spirit didn't have time to pay attention to them at the moment.

"It's because of the name you gave to the pirate crew that I have a new life," Carnes asked, expressing his doubt.

To this, the Ship Spirit firmly admitted.

"Yes, it was your naming that granted me a new life, consciousness, and power, Captain."

"I see," Carnes nodded, his answer aligning with his expectations.

At this moment, the Ship Spirit looked at Demiurge and spoke.

"I'm surprised that you discovered my existence so quickly."

Demiurge responded with a nonchalant smile.

"That's only natural, isn't it? As the most loyal subordinate to the captain, how can I stay by the captain's side and serve the captain if I don't have this ability?" Demiurge responded, fully agreeing with the statement.

"Indeed, just as you said!"

Listening to the conversation between the Ship Spirit and Demiurge, Carnes suddenly remembered something.

Although the Ship Spirit could speak, there should be other abilities as well.

With this in mind, Carnes was about to ask the Ship Spirit when a flood of information rushed into his mind.

And all of it was about the abilities of the Ship Spirit.

Three abilities stood out the most.

"Steering," as the name suggests, refers to the ability to take control of the ship and navigate it.

"Communication" is somewhat akin to channeling spirits.

As long as the flag with the emblem of the "Gale Emperor Pirates" is present, the Ship Spirit can communicate through it. In other words, wherever the emblem of the "Gale Emperor Pirates" is, that's where the Ship Spirit resides.

"Shared Vision" allows for shared perspectives.

Carnes can see through the Ship Spirit's eyes, witnessing what the Ship Spirit sees.

After gaining a rough understanding of the Ship Spirit's abilities, Carnes couldn't help but exclaim, "These are indeed some practical abilities."

"Now, it's about time..." Carnes turned his head towards the vast sea.

"Always ready to obey your command, Captain," Demiurge respectfully spoke.

Carnes: "Set sail!"

"Boom~"

On the mast, the sail with the emblem of the mighty pirate crew descended with a resounding noise, billowing in the sea breeze.

The Eternal Gale, docked at the port, slowly set sail at that very moment.

The Gale Emperor Pirates officially embarked on their journey!

Navigating through the Grand Line!

...

...

Time flew by.

Several days after the Gale Emperor Pirates set sail.

On a small island.

A sixteen-year-old girl with golden long hair was about to embark on her own journey.

On the beach along the coast of the island.

Several of her friends were waving goodbye with tears in their eyes.

After bidding farewell one by one, the girl turned towards the ocean.

At this moment, she appeared excited and filled with anticipation for the future.

"Inhale~"

Taking a deep breath, the girl shouted at the top of her lungs towards the sea.

"Sea!! ONE PIECE! I, Veya Angeli, am here!"

After the shout, Veya couldn't help but burst into joyful laughter.

"Hahaha..."
