One Piece: The Living Devil

"All of them are lunatics," Gion sighed and shook her head.

Back when Rosse manipulated the sea currents to leap over Reverse Mountain, she already thought it was crazy enough.

She didn't expect that this time, Rosse wanted to fly up to the Skypiea ten thousand meters high.

However, she did indeed want to see what the Skypiea looked like.

"We don't have much of a problem, this time it's not like Reverse Mountain, but can Reiju endure the environment of the Skypiea for a long time?", Rosse looked at Sora. Reiju was still young, but already quite obedient. Back in Arabasta, she was under Zephyr's protection the entire time, and had other maids dedicated to taking care of her.

"No problem, Reiju...", Sora pursed her lips, recalling Judge, with eyes filled with disgust, "Reiju's genes have been modified, she's stronger than an ordinary child. Luckily, her body wasn't modified, so everything is still in time."

"In time for what?", Gion asked curiously.

On the entire ship, Reiju was the youngest, practically the group's little darling. Gion also liked this little girl.

"Judge's previous modifications were too crude. The genetic problem isn't particularly serious, but if her body had truly been modified, Reiju would've been affected for life," Speaking of Reiju, Sora's eyes showed pain.

She didn't know before, but ever since obtaining the Brain-Brain Fruit and beginning to study biological knowledge, she realized how hateful Judge's actions were.

Judge had no idea what real genetic modification was; he just wanted to turn Reiju into a beast without emotions.

"Scum," Gion curled her lips.

Even though it wasn't a normal union, Judge was still Reiju's biological father, this behavior was just too much.

"Of course, after all, he's only Reiju's biological father. Aside from providing some cells, he didn't participate in anything," Rosse chuckled lightly.

"Pfft, that's exactly it," Sora laughed softly, giving Rosse a flirtatious glance, her eyes filled with affection.

Compared to Judge, who had barely any physical contact with her, it was Rosse, who touched her soul and changed her fate, who was the most important in her heart.

Even more important than Reiju.

"Reiju's matter, you just go ahead with it. If you need any help, you can tell me at any time," Rosse nodded toward Sora, settling the matter then and there.

Usually when there was nothing going on, Reiju liked to sit on his lap, cling to him to tell stories or play together.

After spending so much time with Reiju, he also liked her.

"I'll definitely handle this well," Sora nodded seriously.

"Alright, now let's talk about the undersea volcano matter. If we want to trigger an Knock Up Stream, we can't just mess around, right?", Rosse got to the main point.

He didn't plan to wait any longer.

Compared to waiting for the natural Knock Up Stream, it was definitely faster to artificially create one.

With the strength they currently had, they weren't afraid of anything unexpected happening.

Even if they really fell from ten thousand meters high, with his current physique, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Plus, Gion also had flying and clone abilities. At the very least she could protect Sora and Stella, which made Rosse worry even less.

"If we want to trigger the Knock Up Stream, we need to activate these volcanoes in sequence," Sora nodded lightly, pulling out a seabed diagram of Jaya Island she had drawn, and began explaining the details to Rosse.

They definitely couldn't act recklessly.

If the volcanoes were randomly detonated, the result wouldn't be an Knock Up Stream, but a super tsunami.

That level of tsunami would be enough to flood the entire Jaya Island.

"These few nodes, huh? Got it," Listening to Sora's explanation, Rosse simultaneously sensed the condition of the undersea volcanoes and compared them one by one, confirming everything.

He didn't really care what happened to Jaya Island, but if they accidentally got it wrong, they wouldn't be able to reach the island again in a short time.

With his current control over his Devil Fruit power, flying up several thousand meters wasn't a problem, but ten thousand meters was still too much of a stretch.

Back during the Reverse Mountain incident, it was also by borrowing the rising sea current that was at the same height as them.

"If only I had the Float-Float Fruit," Rosse sighed, he really was craving the Golden Lion's fruit.

Sea, land, and air.

His fruit was equivalent to controlling the sea. In the entire ocean, not even S-class fishmen could compete with him.

On land, Zephyr, Sakazuki, and Gion all had powerful strength.

Only in the air, his subordinates were still a bit lacking.

With Gion's stamina, flying up by herself wasn't a problem, but bringing everyone with her would be more difficult.

You had to know, on his ship, not only were they present, but also many personnel brought by Zannie. These were the people Rosse planned to use for taking over the Skypiea.

Skypiea was a great place, Rosse didn't plan to waste it.

"Saint Rosse, I'm back," While the few were chatting idly, Zephyr, who had been out hunting pirates, had returned.

After a round of battle, his white suit remained spotless, not stained with even a trace of filth.

For Zephyr, this pirate cleanup didn't even count as a warm-up.

"Since you're back, let's get ready to depart," Rosse nodded to Zephyr.

They had been waiting for Zephyr. The exact area where the sea current would appear would only be known after the undersea volcanoes erupted, but the ship had already reached that region.

As he spoke, Rosse's eyes lit up with a silver glow, his long silver-white hair fluttering, instantly entering his demigod state.

He took a step forward, his figure stepping onto the surface of the sea.

Directly touching the sea surface would multiply his control over the seawater exponentially.

Rumble!

The sea surface suddenly split.

The abyss roared.

In an instant, dozens of undersea volcanoes were ignited in sequence by the sea currents controlled by Rosse.

The rumble of the collapsing seabed crust pierced through billions of tons of seawater, like a molten giant beast that had been chained for a thousand years finally breaking its shackles. Dark red magma erupted from the fissures, churning the seawater into a boiling frenzy.

In the waves of the sea, the warship was like a lone leaf boat, swaying violently in the wind.

Sora was supported by Gion, standing on the deck, eyes locked onto the sea surface. Though in reality, she had already entered overdrive mode, her brain calculating the position of the Knock Up Stream like crazy.

If they entered the current ahead of time, the ship could ride it upward.

If they were swept in from behind, Rosse would have to use his power to protect the ship. Otherwise, the ship being destroyed and people dying was highly likely.

Seeing this, Rosse frowned slightly.

He slowly raised his right foot, the sole of his boot gently stepping on the turbulent sea surface. The movement seemed casual, yet it caused the entire sea area to tremble slightly.

In an instant, it was as if an invisible force spread out from under his foot, the originally surging waves miraculously stopped churning.

The once-turbulent sea, under the place where he stepped, became calm as if stroked by an invisible giant hand.

Even the ship behind him, no longer rocked by the waves, stayed steadily anchored in this strange patch of sea.

A hundred meters away, the sea still boiled like water on a raging stove. Giant waves crashed one after another, roaring with deafening thunder.

Yet the location where they stood seemed completely isolated from the raging storm, the sea as calm as a mirror, shimmering with light.

Two completely different scenes coexisted in the same sea region.

One side ravaged by storms, the other peaceful and calm. Forming a stark contrast that made one feel an indescribable eeriness.

This was the power Rosse could now control, the power to command the sea.

When his Devil Fruit completely awakens, he will be the true Sea God.
