...

...

The ship began to sink as the entire marine ecosystem filled all sides, with the Black Pearl descending further every moment.

"This is incredible!" Chopper shouted excitedly.

"So these are the roots of the Sabaody trees..." Robin said in admiration.

"So my home is down here...?" Shirahoshi murmured, looking at the scene before her.

"Yes, princess..." Hachi muttered, familiar with the region.

While everyone marveled, Nami noticed Luffy silently appreciating the marine ecosystem as well. "Luffy, do you know if they will succeed before they find us?" Nami asked.

"Yes, the information I got was from Kuma. He has all the government communications, and he provided some very valuable intel..." Luffy commented.

"I hope this will be necessary. We'll have to deal with an even more enraged government," she complained, but Luffy shrugged.

"Well, our arrival at the war should be impactful, so it will be necessary," Luffy smiled.

The ship continued descending after that, reaching 2,000 meters below the surface. The crew kept admiring the fish and everything they encountered in that place.

"What a funny fish!" Yamato laughed at the shapes of the underwater creatures.

"Shirahoshi." Luffy called the mermaid who was looking off the side of the deck.

"Yes, Luffy-sama." She looked at him.

"I want you to summon the Sea Kings. It's time for them to pull us to Impeldown," Luffy said, watching Nami manage the direction.

"Alright, I'll try!" Shirahoshi said with some determination, then flew to the top of the deck.

"Sea Kings-sama! I need your help to carry our ship!" she shouted with all her might, her hands cupped around her mouth to create an echo.

The sea fell silent as the entire crew waited, trying to detect any change in the darkness ahead, but no response seemed to come.

"Our ruler is calling us!" Suddenly, a voice emerged from the depths of the ocean. The crew seemed oblivious to it, as if they hadn't heard it, except for two—Shirahoshi, who was surprised, and Luffy, whose eyes widened.

"Is this the voice of all things...?" Luffy was quite surprised by this. He had this dormant ability within him but had never managed to control it, even when he used it on that poneglyph in East Blue.

"Are you alright... Husband?" Alvida asked, noticing Luffy's strange behavior, although there was no visible change in the sea.

"I am... it's just..." Luffy gave up trying to explain and looked at Shirahoshi with a confused yet astonished expression.

"Did you hear that, Shira?" he asked, while the crew remained puzzled by his words, having heard nothing.

"Yes! They responded... I am the ruler...?" Shirahoshi was surprised by this.

"Yes... You are Poseidon, of course you rule all the seas," Luffy said with a smile to the girl, who nodded. He turned his attention back to the crew, still not understanding what was happening. "The Sea Kings are coming. Let's put the chains out," Luffy instructed.

"Right." Usopp began to get the chains on the deck with Hachi, Chopper in his muscular form, and even Yamato, throwing them outside the coating.

A moment later, shadows began approaching the ship, with eyes opening as large as 50 times the size of the Black Pearl.
