章節 83: Uchiha Ship

---

The marines were utterly stunned!

"Isn't that Admiral Aokiji? Why is he here as well?"

Garp turned to him. "Kuzan, what brought you here?"

"Honestly, I was a bit worried about you facing Uchiha trio alone, so I tagged along."

Only those who had personally fought Akira and his two brothers could understand how terrifyingly powerful they were. Kuzan was concerned that if Garp ended up fighting them, Garp might get hurt.

"But… I think he's already noticed me. What a frightening perception," Aokiji murmured with a grave expression. He had sensed Akira's brief glance in his direction, which indicated he'd been discovered.

"He has ten employees as powerful as Vice Admirals now, and with the other three from before, this clan's might rivals that of a Yonko's crew," Aokiji remarked grimly.

Garp sighed. "Indeed! They've become a force that even the World Government doesn't want to easily provoke. And this may not even be the extent of their power."

"Not to mention their strange and different powers, Uchiha Akira also had a space skill, he used when I and Kizaru was fighting him that makes it even harder to catch him."

"Whatever! Let's get those prisoners transferred to Impel Down." One of the reasons Garp was there was really to transport captured pirates since the prison in Water 7 was at capacity thanks to the capture spree sparked by that 'brat' Akira and Uchiha Clan. It looked like a helpful move to marines but that didn't make Garp like this Clan at all.

"Mr. Akira, your ordered ship is now complete," Iceburg called, bringing the good news at last.

Akira immediately headed to the shipyard, feeling a surge of excitement—like being told his custom-made Lamborghini had arrived. When he saw his new ship, his anticipation grew.

The ship had been redesigned to his exact specifications: a large vessel, about twice the size of the Kuja Pirates' ship, and exuding an imposing aura. The name Uchiha was boldly displayed on its hull, and the clan's emblem adorned its sails.

The ship had two forms of propulsion: wind-powered sails and a steam turbine for increased speed. Sailing was essential on the Grand Line, as it guaranteed mobility even if machinery failed. The steam turbine was for emergency acceleration.

The interior was lavishly appointed with a dining hall, restrooms, a lounge, a training room, and high-end entertainment spaces. The master craftsmen handling the ship left nothing to worry about.

The ship's sides were lined with dozens of cannons, their black barrels projecting an intimidating presence.

Akira was so pleased with this ship. This was precisely what he needed! In the world of pirates, having a ship of his own was essential to making his mark.

"Is it ready to set sail now?" he asked.

"Already tested—it's ready for the sea anytime," Paulie confirmed.

"Perfect. Deduct the final payment from the deposit. I'll be taking her now," Akira said, placing his hand on the ship.

Whoosh!

In an instant, both Akira and the ship vanished, leaving only an empty scaffold.

"Wha…What?!"

"What just happened?"

"The ship?! Where did it go?!"

The shipwrights were dumbfounded. Paulie, Tilestone, and Peepley Lulu took a moment but quickly understood what had happened.

"If I'm right, Mr. Akira just took the ship with him," Paulie deduced. Having seen Akira's abilities during the Enies Lobby incident, he had become a loyal fan of the Akira, always noting his abilities.

Kuja Island Port

With a soft whoosh, a massive warship appeared out of thin air, landing with a splash.

"What is that?!"

"A warship?"

"How did it just appear here?!"

The onlookers were stunned, many rushing over to see the colossal vessel.

"The Uchiha… Is this the Uchiha Clan's ship?!" someone exclaimed, spotting the Uchiha name carved into the hull.

The ship's appearance quickly drew everyone's attention. Soon, the Empress and members of the Uchiha Clan gathered to see the spectacle.

"Akira, what's this?" Uchiha Fugaku asked, astonished by the size of the warship.

"This is the warship I ordered. The Uchiha is now our clan's exclusive warship."

"What?! This is our ship?!"

"It's so big!"

"Can we explore it?"

"Of course, feel free to take a look."

Excitement rippled through the group. The ship was enormous, easily accommodating hundreds. Shisui led Itachi and Sasuke around, while many from Amazon Lily and the Uchiha Clan joined them on deck.

"Brother, this is so cool."

"Sasuke, slow down." Itachi followed his brother helplessly but his happy smile showed this is the life he want.

Itachi and Sasuke was having a good time while their father was having a hard time trying to please Mikoto.

Then the Pirate Empress, though accustomed to life on the sea, was delighted to see the new ship. She made her way to the captain's quarters, tested the bed, and smiled with satisfaction—it was comfortable.

With the ship ready, they took it for a test voyage around Amazon Lily. For many, it was a thrilling experience, as they had never set foot on a ship of this magnitude.

After some time, a massive Sea King emerged from the depths.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several cannon shots rang out, Showing its power.

The cannonballs struck the Sea King's head, making it cry out in pain before retreating back underwater, to the cheers and shouts of the spectators.

All was having a happy time.

To celebrate the launch of the new ship, Akira and Hancock spent the night together in the captain's quarters, making sure to check the bed's quality.

Another long and tired night...
