One piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

Chapter 211: Poseidon (Part 1)

Roger looked at the rubbing in his hand.

"Rayleigh! I've made up my mind! I'm going to find the truth of this world!"

Roger declared as he stared at the inscriptions.

"Huh?"

Rayleigh was momentarily confused by Roger's words but nodded subconsciously.

"Sure! I'll accompany you! The Roger Pirates will act according to your will!"

As soon as Rayleigh spoke, the rest of the Roger Pirates joined in.

"Hahahaha, that's right, Captain! We will follow you to the end!"

Jabba, with his twin axes strapped to his waist, laughed heartily.

"Hahahahaha! Alright, boys! Our goal from now on is to uncover the truth of this world! Even if it costs us our lives!"

Roger's hearty laughter echoed through the cave for a long time.

"Long live the Roger Pirates!"

The crew cheered in unison.

"Tsk! What truth? There's no treasure!"

Amidst the cheers, a small red-nosed boy crossed his arms and muttered disdainfully.

"Buggy! Don't think like that. What if we find treasure hidden by someone while searching for the truth of history? Wouldn't that be an unexpected bonanza?"

Shanks placed a hand on Buggy's shoulder and grinned.

"Treasure! Treasure! That's right! While uncovering history, we might stumble upon treasures left behind by others. We'd be rich!"

Buggy's eyes lit up instantly at the realization.

"Captain Roger! I'm in! I want to find treasure!"

Buggy ran to Roger, excitedly shouting.

"Okay, okay! Then the treasure is all yours, Buggy!"

Roger chuckled, humoring the young pirate.

"Ohhh! I will find the greatest secret treasure buried in history!"

Buggy jumped up in excitement.

The rest of the crew laughed heartily.

"Little red-nosed brat! You're such a money-grubber!"

Several crew members teased.

"Who the hell are you calling Red Nose?!"

Buggy fumed with rage at the insult.

His outburst only made everyone laugh harder.

Amidst the laughter, the Roger Pirates returned to their ship.

"Let's go! We're searching for the great treasure buried in history!"

Roger stood at the bow, shouting enthusiastically.

The ship slowly sailed away from the island.

New World – Kami Island

At the port, a large crowd gathered in front of a massive ship.

"Mr. Charlotte! The ship you commissioned is nearly complete! This is Poseidon, the God of the Sea—a vessel that can sail without relying on wind power! I swear, this is the most advanced ship in the world!"

Vinsmoke Judge, who had been overseeing the construction, stood half a step behind Charlotte, introducing the ship with great pride.

Charlotte gazed at the colossal vessel. The ship's sides were lined with rows of cannons and high-tech weaponry.

At the bow, a statue of Poseidon, the god of the sea, stood holding a trident.

The ship had seven decks—four below the main deck and three above.

Standing 27 meters high, 26 meters wide, and approximately 170 meters long, Poseidon was a steel behemoth.

It loomed over the harbor, an imposing presence that was almost difficult to believe.

"Let's go aboard and take a look!"

Charlotte said eagerly, stepping forward to inspect the marvel.

The cold, metallic feel beneath his fingers filled him with satisfaction.

"Mr. Charlotte, look here! The deck is fully solar-powered. It absorbs sunlight and converts it into electricity, which can be stored to power the ship for seven days even without sunlight."

Judge's face was filled with pride as he explained.

He had poured endless effort into designing this system, exhausting his mental resources before finally succeeding.

Charlotte stepped onto the deck and found it firm and solid beneath his feet.

"Good! Good! This is an excellent idea!"

Charlotte praised, visibly pleased.

"Mr. Charlotte, please follow me!"

Encouraged by Charlotte's approval, Judge eagerly led him inside.

Charlotte followed closely, accompanied by Caesar Courant and a group of scientists.

"Interesting!"

Caesar Courant inspected the weapons and solar panels with intrigue.

His sharp eyes could tell these were no ordinary designs.

He remained silent, merely observing as he followed Charlotte deeper into the ship.

Judge led Charlotte to the lowest deck.

This area housed an intricate network of pipes and circuits. Rows of bicycle-like contraptions were neatly arranged.

"Mr. Charlotte! This system allows the ship to generate power manually. As long as people keep pedaling, it will convert their effort into electricity. Even without sunlight, this setup can sustain the ship's energy needs. A crew of just one hundred people pedaling will be enough to power the entire ship!"

Judge beamed proudly.

The idea had originally been suggested by one of the scientists, which inspired Judge to create this backup system.

Charlotte glanced at the hundred pedaling stations and nodded approvingly.

"Not bad! Not bad at all! This resolves all my concerns!"

Charlotte grinned, fully satisfied.

"I will fulfill all the promises I made to you."

Charlotte's words immediately lifted Judge's spirits.

"Please let me show you the rest of the ship!"

Judge led Charlotte further up the decks.

The second deck was filled with crew cabins, neatly arranged with two-meter-wide hallways separating them.

"This entire deck consists of crew quarters. Each room is ten square meters and accommodates two people. This deck alone can house nearly a thousand crew members!"

Judge opened a door, revealing the interior.

Charlotte's first thought was that it resembled a modern dormitory from his past life.

Unlike his previous world's cramped five-to-six-person dormitories, these rooms only housed two people, providing more comfort and space.

"Not bad at all!"

Charlotte nodded in satisfaction. Accommodating a thousand crew members was already beyond his expectations.

"With this, I can bring along all the maids and staff."

Pleased, Charlotte followed Judge to the third deck.

The third and fourth decks were interconnected, forming a vast hall the size of a football field, surrounded by smaller rooms.

"This is the ship's dining and assembly hall. The surrounding rooms serve as training rooms, equipped with various fitness gear—including a gravity training chamber!"

Judge continued explaining.

The ship's design balanced both comfort and practicality, built to Charlotte's specifications.

He had referenced luxury cruise ships while constructing it, ensuring a mix of elegance and functionality.

The middle of the ship was hollowed out, creating an expansive open space.

Looking around the hundred-meter-long hall, Charlotte felt completely satisfied.
