A month quickly passed. During this time, Noir was taken to various places by Pagaya for some leisure and fun.
To be honest, the women on Sky Island were indeed stunning, and Noir's eyes were almost dazzled by their beauty over the past month.
As for Robin, ever since that day when Noir was kissed, there hadn't been any significant developments.
Noir wanted to progress things further, but whenever he was in front of Robin, he could only muster up a "Have you eaten?" after much hesitation.
Though their romantic progress was slow, the shipbuilding progress was impressively fast.
In less than a month, a large sailing ship appeared before Noir.
The ship was made of blue and white wood, exuding the unique charm of Sky Island. The stern was equipped with Sky Island's specialty, Wind Shells, for speed acceleration.
At Noir's request, the bow was specially designed to resemble a dragon's head. The interior was remodeled by Sky Island shipbuilding masters to include all the necessary daily amenities and various rooms.
The original Ark Maxim was covered in gold, looking like a gaudy display of wealth.
Now, the amount of gold on the ship was reduced, but it was strategically placed inside, giving the cabin a luxurious and noble appearance.
More importantly, the power system of the ship wasn't dismantled, allowing for a period of free flight.
Noir gleefully jumped onto the Ark Maxim. Inspired by the Thousand Sunny, he decided to cover the deck with a layer of decoration.
However, instead of grass, he used Sky Island's processed specialty, soft and fluffy Island Clouds.
Noir rolled on the cloud-covered deck, comfortably resting his arms behind his head and sighing, "This is life..."
Robin stomped on the clouds beneath her feet and smiled, "This way, even when we leave Sky Island, we can still feel the touch of the clouds."
Conis, holding the cloud fox, Suu, stood nervously on the Ark Maxim. Seeing this, Robin quickly led her to tour the ship.
Wyper, with his arm wrapped in bandages, sat coolly in a corner of the ship.
Recently, Shandia held a ceremony to ring the Golden Bell. As the bell-ringer, Wyper used his flesh and blood to strike the several-ton bell.
The bell's sound echoed across the sky, reaching almost everyone on Sky Island and even those in the Blue Sea.
Wyper didn't stop ringing the bell until his fists were battered and bloody.
According to Noir, this guy was a fool to use his fists when there were better ways.
Despite the pain, Wyper was relieved to have completed his mission.
Afterward, Wyper voluntarily sought out Noir, formally becoming his crew member.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
As for Enel...
That guy initially tried to slip away using his powers when Noir wasn't paying attention, but Noir caught him in time.
After giving Enel a severe beating, Noir had a good idea: he put Enel in water.
It had been almost a month, and just before leaving, Noir remembered Enel was still in the water.
Enel, who had suffered immensely, dared not show his anger. When he saw the remodeled Maxim, he nearly fainted from shock.
Years of his hard work were transformed beyond recognition!
Noir locked Enel in the energy supply room at the bottom of the ship, making it convenient for the "Battery Boy" to provide power to Maxim.
The Ark Maxim, now to be called the Ark Maxim, descended from the Sea Clouds, slowly heading towards the exit of Sky Island.
Conis, holding Suu, tearfully bid farewell to her father, and Wyper solemnly watched his fellow Shandia seeing him off from the ship's side.
On the shore, Raki held Aisa's hand, looking at Wyper with reluctance.
The gossipy Noir wanted to inquire about their relationship.
Gan Fall, along with others, escorted them to the exit. Ahead lay the nearly vertical cloud sea waterfall.
Gan Fall shouted to Noir, "Mr. Noir! Please don't bring Enel back again!"
Enel, who heard this from the bottom of the ship, almost spat blood and silently said in his heart, "Goodbye..."
Noir saluted Gan Fall and, under everyone's watchful eyes, Maxim plunged into the Sea Clouds below, heading straight for the Blue Sea!
"Goodbye!"
"Come back and visit!"
"Except for Enel!"
Under the enthusiastic send-off from the Sky Island residents, Maxim, without any hesitation, rushed down towards more adventures in the Blue Sea.
When Noir first arrived on Sky Island, he had only two people with him. Now, returning to the Blue Sea, the crew had grown to five people and a fox!
Noir held onto the ship's railing, walked into the cabin, and picked up the Sky Island Den Den Mushi, shouting, "Battery Boy! Charge up!"
Enel, sitting despondently in the supply room, heard Noir's annoying command but dared not disobey.
Blue lightning surged from his body, with the current spreading through the ship's system.
Two rows of small holes on either side of the ship extended, and as the propellers on the sides spun rapidly, the Ark Maxim gradually stabilized in the air. After a while, it slowly flew in a specific direction.
In the helm room, Wyper held the wheel.
Noir checked the Log Pose and, seeing everything in order, told Enel, "Keep supplying power. Once Maxim lands in the Blue Sea, you can rest."
Enel, now numb to being treated as an invaluable laborer, silently provided energy.
He had thought about rebelling and even tried to use his powers to threaten Noir so they couldn't control Maxim.
However, Noir directly executed God's Judgment in front of him, rendering Enel powerless.
This isn't about giving in; it's about enduring humiliation!
Once everyone on the ship let their guard down, Enel planned to seize the opportunity to escape.
Of course, Noir anticipated this.
It was obvious that Enel wasn't loyal to him, and he didn't expect to subdue this proud guy with just one beating.
Preventing Enel from escaping was simple. Noir only needed some Seastone to seal Enel's abilities.
But since there was no Seastone available now, they would have to use the old method.
Whenever it was night or when no one was watching, Enel would be thrown into a water tank to prevent any escape attempts.
Hmm... Noir considered himself a genius!
Enel was unaware that when everyone relaxed their guard, he would face the water tank's harsh reality.
Wyper had changed his attire, no longer shirtless with a grass skirt like a native.
He wore a blue T-shirt and a pair of large shorts, looking like a Hawaiian gangster boss with his expression.
Conis and Robin chatted on the deck, while Noir leisurely lay on a chair sunbathing, holding a sunglasses-wearing little fox in his arms.
Following Noir's guidance, Wyper had learned some basic techniques of Busoshoku Haki and was now training in the exercise room.
Everyone seemed to be in harmony, except for the lonely god in the ship's bottom, silently generating electricity.
