One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 694: The Pursuit!

Chapter 694: The Pursuit!

After watching the footage, Ryuunosuke could not help but draw in a sharp breath.

It had to be said that the three of them had used every method they had just to escape alive.

If Sakazuki or Kuzan had hesitated even slightly during that final retreat, they likely would not have made it out at all.

"So this is how you managed to escape?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ryuunosuke looked at Sakazuki with a strange expression.

"Yes."

"If we had slowed down even a little, we probably would not have made it out."

"Captain Ryuunosuke, now that you have seen the footage, what did you notice?"

"And that mysterious powerful figure, do you have any information on him?"

Sakazuki nodded, then asked directly.

After all, the people Ryuunosuke had come into contact with were not the same as the people they knew.

If even Ryuunosuke did not recognize that man, then they truly had no other clues.

"I do not know him, but he does resemble something I fought before."

"However, the one I fought earlier could not speak."

...

Soon, Ryuunosuke also told the three of them about the divine artifact.

"A creation derived from the gods?"

"So monsters like that actually exist in this world?"

The three of them were clearly shaken after hearing Ryuunosuke’s explanation.

You had to understand, if monsters born from the gods had already started appearing in this world, and if the being they had just encountered was very likely another divine artifact, then the situation was much more serious than they had imagined.

And if those monsters really began rampaging across the seas, then aside from the Dragon Hunter Pirates, who else would still be able to stop them?

More importantly, the Dragon Hunter Pirates had their own things to do as well. They could not remain on the seas forever just to deal with threats like these.

"How far is it from here?"

"About how long would it take to get there?"

Ryuunosuke asked quickly.

Now was not the time to stand around in shock.

No matter who the other side was, they had to make contact first.

And if Blackbeard and Momonosuke were both still in that area, then all the better. He could deal with them in one sweep.

"It took us about half a day to fly here, but we did not keep exact track of the time."

"Still, Kuzan’s ice can provide an accurate direction."

Sakazuki answered directly.

By now, he already understood what Ryuunosuke intended to do.

At this point, Ryuunosuke going there personally was undoubtedly the best choice.

At the very least, it would allow him to directly come into contact with those monsters.

"Kuzan, all three of you come aboard my ship."

"Are there still Vice Admirals left in the fleet?"

Ryuunosuke asked.

"Yes!"

At that moment, Strawberry, covered in wounds, stepped forward.

"Vice Admiral Strawberry is here too?"

"In that case, these naval warships are yours now."

"Bring everyone back to Marine Headquarters immediately."

"For the time being, do not come back out."

Ryuunosuke spoke directly.

"Fleet Admiral..."

Although Strawberry knew very well about the relationship between the Dragon Hunter Pirates and the Navy, at a moment like this, he still needed Sakazuki’s approval.

After all, Sakazuki was the Fleet Admiral.

"Sorry, I overstepped."

"Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, I hope you do not mind. I was just being a little too direct."

Ryuunosuke chuckled awkwardly.

Still, he truly was in a hurry right now. That was why he had spoken first without thinking too much.

"I understand."

"All naval personnel, carry out Captain Ryuunosuke’s orders. Return to Marine Headquarters and await further instructions."

Sakazuki gave the order loudly without hesitation.

"Understood, Fleet Admiral!"

After hearing Sakazuki’s command, Strawberry immediately turned and went to relay it.

"It looks like Admiral Sakazuki’s standing within the Navy has risen quite a bit."

"So now you cannot say you have no friends anymore, right?"

Ryuunosuke teased him lightly.

"Captain Ryuunosuke, you joke too much. Something like that..."

"I have friends!"

Sakazuki seemed to suddenly think of something and immediately corrected him.

At the same time, he looked toward Kuzan and Borsalino.

Indeed, ever since the three of them had made peace, Sakazuki had regained his most sincere comrades.

And both of them had also acknowledged Sakazuki’s position.

Under such circumstances, there was no way Sakazuki would accept Ryuunosuke’s teasing just now.

"Hahahaha..."

"Alright, enough of that."

"Come aboard."

After saying that, Ryuunosuke led the three of them onto the Eternal Ark.

At that same time, Machi also returned.

"Captain, everyone who could still be saved has already been treated."

"As for the rest who had already stopped breathing, I could not do anything."

Machi quickly reported the situation.

"I understand."

"You have worked hard. Go get some rest."

"And this is for replenishing your life essence."

As he spoke, Ryuunosuke handed a portion of life essence to Machi.

"Thank you, Captain."

After taking the life essence, Machi vanished from the deck.

"Gaino."

Ryuunosuke immediately called out to Gaino.

Then he raised his hand and brought up the Eternal Ark’s control panel with a swipe.

"Brother Kuzan, this is the Eternal Ark’s control panel."

"These are the controls for acceleration, forward movement, and direction..."

"I think those should all be simple enough to understand, right?"

Ryuunosuke gave Kuzan a brief explanation of how to operate the Eternal Ark.

"This... is your Dragon Hunter Pirates’ ship?"

Kuzan stared at the enormous vessel in shock.

Not just him. Sakazuki and Borsalino also looked equally stunned.

This ship simply did not look like something that belonged to this world.

"It is just a small worn out boat..."

"Alright, now is not the time to talk about that. My ship is probably a bit faster, so let us move now."

"Maybe we can still catch them."

Ryuunosuke said quickly.

"Understood."

Kuzan nodded and immediately began trying to control the Eternal Ark.

At the same time, Gaino landed on his shoulder and started helping him steer.

After all, this was Kuzan’s first time operating it.

Still, Kuzan grasped the basics very quickly.

He had not become an Admiral because he was stupid.

On the contrary, Kuzan was extremely intelligent.

As the Eternal Ark accelerated, it soon reached an astonishing top speed.

"Captain Ryuunosuke, at this speed we should reach the destination in a little over an hour."

"And even if they have already escaped, I can still track them down and bring them back."

Kuzan said with confidence.

After hearing that, Ryuunosuke simply nodded and said nothing more.

To be honest, piloting a ship like this was rather addictive.

At least for now, both Sakazuki and Borsalino looked eager to try it themselves.

Unfortunately, the situation was urgent, so the two of them could only watch Kuzan handle it.

Still, just from their expressions alone, it was obvious that both of them were already itching to take the wheel one day.

An hour later, the Eternal Ark arrived at the location.

The ice was still there.

However, the ships that had appeared in the footage were already gone.

In the center of the frozen battlefield, a massive crater had been left behind.

"This is where Momonosuke and the others’ ship was before?"

Ryuunosuke pointed at the empty space and asked.

"Yes."

"It seems they managed to get their ship out."

Kuzan nodded and answered directly.

"Can we continue tracking them?"

"I do not know why, but I have a strong feeling this matter is not that simple."

Ryuunosuke said in a low voice.

"That is possible, but..."

"Do we really have to keep chasing them?"

"What if this is a trap?"

After hesitating for a moment, Kuzan finally voiced his concern.

After all, since those people had managed to move the ship away, then they definitely knew some trace of Kuzan’s consciousness still remained in the ice.

So...
