Chapter 138: Venus



"So, that's the ship...' 

"So huge! I want to see the ship!" 

"Baka! Do you want to get killed?!" 

"But those sails... why are they shaped like that?" 

"Dammit! I want to know, but I don't want to get killed!"

At this moment, all the people in Water 7 were filled with curiosity, watching Masa's ship that had been completed from a distance. They might not be able to see it from a close distance, but even from afar, it was impossible to ignore, especially with its homogeneous and unique design. 

Rather, compared to those wooden ships such as a galleon or a caravel that were usually built on Water 7, they could tell that the ship that was built by the cruel young man was far, far better than anything that had been built on this island. 

Even the ship created by Tom, the one who built the ship of the pirate king, was far inferior to the ship built by Masa. 

While they didn't want to admit it, they knew well that compared to Masa, their skill as a shipwright was inferior. It was also because of that that they were curious, yet no one dared to get close since Masa was as cruel as ever. 

The people in this world lacked an IQ, so even if Masa was cruel, they never learned, and when his ship was completed, they tried to sneak, but naturally, they could escape and be killed just like that. 

This time, Masa was too lazy to display their heads and just stacked them nearby so everyone could see. 

Fortunately, the sea was close, so those corpses could be thrown away and became fish food instead of rotting away in the city. 

Nevertheless, as everyone gathered to watch the ship from a distance, Iceberg and Franky also did the same, especially when they were attracted by the sleek design. 

"Say, do you think that it is only moved by those sails?" 

"I think that they have other things, too." 

"What is it?" 

"Not sure, but the design is amazing." 

"Yeah. It was also built using metal." 

Yes, unlike most of the ships that were built of wood, Masa's ship was built with metal, which was something that amazed them. 

'I want to see inside...' 

Franky thought inwardly, and Iceberg also thought similarly, yet when they saw the mountain of corpses at the entrance of the dock, they quickly calmed down. 

All the people, whether it was residents, pirates, or even marines, were attracted, but even so, they were all killed without hesitation, showing Masa's power that couldn't be underestimated. 

If Masa had wished to, they could have imagined that he would have conquered this island directly. 

Unfortunately, Masa didn't have much of an interest in this island, which was about to sink and without much resources. 

Yet, while those people who could only see from a distance were dumbfounded, Carina, Perona, Kalifa, and Brook, who could see up close, had already lost their ability to talk.

Watching the finished ship built by Masa, the four of them stared at this large ship in a daze. 

How long had it been? 

It hadn't been two weeks! 

Yet, Masa didn't feel much strangeness, especially when he knew that there was a ship that was built in 4 Days, 15 Hours, and 29 Minutes in his original world. 

In less than two weeks, with the help of his power and complete machinery, everything was nothing. 

More importantly, Masa of Mahouka had been helping him with various shipbuilding technologies that were collected from such a futuristic world, so it didn't take much time for him to build this ship. 

With a length of about 106 meters and 30 meters of width, Masa thought that it was quite similar to a "Queen Beetle" ferry but with three DynaRig masts and mostly black color. 

Masa knew it might be better to use full machinery, but unfortunately, with the lack of resources, which equaled a lack of energy, he knew that a mast was necessary as the wind was the only thing the world never lacked. 

Naturally, he also added another type of energy, whether it was solar, wind, battery, water currents, oceanic heat, coal, waste combustion, seismic power, and even hydrogen. 

Still, even if he explained those things, Carina, Perona, Kalifa, and Brook wouldn't understand, so he didn't explain it. "Do you want to enter now?" 

"Go!" 4x

All of them were excited since they had to admit they had fallen in love with this ship the moment they saw it. 

Yes, Thriller Bark might be the biggest ship, but this ship was also huge, especially when Masa told them there were four decks on the ship that had their own uses. 

"There are your own rooms here, a spa room, an observation dock whether it is indoor or outdoor, an indoor farm, cargo, kitchen, infirmary, public bathrooms, resident areas, briefing rooms, music room...." 

As Masa listed everything, the four of them could only stay in a daze as they watched Masa's cat servants work diligently.

Still, when Masa explained everything about this ship, Carina gulped and said, "M-Masa... I think that you don't need to explain those complicated things to us." 

After all, all of them knew well that their knowledge couldn't understand Masa's explanation. 

"You are right." Masa nodded and didn't bother to explain. 

"..." 4x

Can you refute us?! 4x

Yet, at least, their IQ was far better than average people, which made them feel better. 

"Still, why is this place warm?" 

"There is a heater here." 

"Can we visit our room?" 

"Go ahead." 

"Yay!" 

Everyone visited their own rooms, farming area, infirmary, laboratory, and many others. 

"I like it!" Perona was so happy that her room was designed with a gloomy atmosphere. 

"So, this is our room."

Carina nodded when she saw the master bedroom, the place where she would be living with Masa. 

"...." 

Kalifa and Perona were speechless, but they thought of staying in Masa's room later, especially when there was even an indoor bathroom inside his room.

"Oh, it's like an aquarium!"

His bathroom was also special since instead of wood, the wall was made from glass, so they could see the scenery of the sea, which acted like an aquarium. 

"Why is your room the most special one?!" Perona was quite jealous of Masa's room since it was much bigger and more special than the others!

"I am the one who built this ship." 

"..." 

What could Perona say? 

"Okay, should we go now?" 

"Okay." 4x

They knew that Masa had another destination that he wanted to go to, and frankly, they were also bored with staying on Water 7, considering how small this island was. 

Still, when they were about to go to their next destination, a loud booming sound was heard. 

BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM!

"What a cool ship!" 

"Get that ship!" 

"Hyahahaha! That ship is going to become ours!" 

All of a sudden, an explosion was heard, and naturally, they saw many pirate ships coming from the distance. 

"That's a group of pirates!" 

"Ah, are they going to be in danger?!" 

"What a shame... if that ship is destroyed..." 

No one cared about Masa and his group, but they felt that it would be a shame if the ship built by Masa was destroyed!

"I will go and help!" Franky thought that by helping Masa and his group, he could peek at Masa's ship. 

"I will help you." Iceberg also understood Franky's thoughts, but he didn't try to stop Franky since he was curious about Masa's ship. 

But a piercing, blinding light suddenly eclipsed everything before —

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!

Everyone was rooted in place as they instantly saw an explosion that destroyed all the pirate ships. 

"....." 

All of them were in silence as they saw large waves that were about to swallow their island. 

"Run! Run!" 

"There is a tsunami!" 

"Dammit, is that a laser beam!?" 

"How the heck did they build a laser beam!" 

Yet, there was no doubt that as they watched Masa's ship sail away, they could only sigh reluctantly as they knew they hadn't had a chance to enter that ship in their entire lives, and that included Iceberg and Franky. 

Still, watching the destruction caused by the laser beam, they were glad they didn't provoke Masa. 

As for Masa and his group, the four of them didn't care much about the commotion that they had caused. Instead, they focused on something else. 

"By the way, have you named this ship Masa?" 

"Hmm..." Masa thought for a moment, wondering what kind of name he should give to this ship. "Let's see... I will name it Venus." 

"Venus?" 

"It's the name of a goddess of beauty." 

"Goddess of beauty?" 

"Is there such a goddess with such a name in this world?" 

"Well, there are many things you don't know about in this world, after all." 

"...." 

They couldn't argue with his words. 

Still—

"It's a good name." 

"Right?" 

Masa nodded, then controlled his cats to sail to their next destination. 

"So, we're going to that place, right?" 

"Yup." Masa nodded. "Drum Island. This is our next destination." 

His eyes blazed with ambition as he hoped for his next plan to succeed so that he could devour more Devil Fruit. 

Still, before he completed his ambition, let's talk about Masa of Mahouka, who was about to start his high school life.
