Chapter 563 - Altered Trajectory

The main difference was that the speed at which the object would be travelling would not be up to one hundred times the original speed, which would be the upper limit of the More Devil Fruit.

The amplification might not have been able to match up to that type of increased limit, but it was far more versatile in terms of ways to utilise it.

The speed of a moving object could be increased, but it could be decreased and even stopped if Aizah wished to change it.

Meanwhile, on the pirate ship that was opening fire on the ship, the pirates were busy putting another cannonball into the cannon that had only recently been fired.

They had yet to reach for a cannonball when they suddenly saw a strange scene.

The cannonball stopped before a girl with small white wings who appeared standing in the air with a tiny cloud beneath her feet, but the girl disappeared from where she was, and the cannonball did not go past where she had previously stood.

The cannonball came back toward them at a much faster speed than it had been moving, so it was quite difficult to see it with ordinary eyesight.

Since Aizah had reversed the trajectory and increased it, the speed and power behind it were sent back on a direct path from where it came.

The only place that it could go was on a direct course from where it came from which was the cannon that fired it.

The waves and wind may have had a small effect on moving the ship's position a little in the time that it took for the cannonball to be fired and return, but it did not move by all that much.

The cannonball crashed into the cannon before exploding, which caused the overall impact and the explosion itself to cause a lot of damage to the ship and anyone caught up with it.

Similar scenes took place not too long after the appearance of a winged human, followed by the protection of the ship or those who were on it.

What followed was every bit of potential damage that could have been done by the pirates had they been turned back on them, followed by a rapid response of those on board the ship who worked to take down the remaining pirates who still had the will to fight.

Aizah appeared in the air above the ship at one time, holding her short-barreled cartridge launcher while inserting one of the cartridges that contained a gooey substance.

She loaded it before quickly firing without aiming, causing it to suddenly fly off into the air. "Alter trajectory and increase."

It kept going in the same direction it was fired until it suddenly took a very sharp turn out of nowhere and increased its speed.

It turned toward another angle as it went down toward the deck of the enemy ship, where there was a small group of pirates who were still trying to fight back.

The cartridge hit right in the middle of where they stood, causing the cartridge to break apart from the impact.

The gooey substance was released from inside it, and the moment that it did, it expanded very quickly, causing those nearby to get caught in it until it gradually stopped expanding.

A light smile appeared on the face of Aizah as she looked upon the scene before her eyes. "Alyssia really did give me the most suitable power..."

She disappeared from where she was before landing back on the ship, where everyone was finishing up with their duties.

Marceline finished with her previous duties as she was able to adjust to ordering others after making use of her past experiences that were involved in her duties as the previous fiancée of the crown prince.

When she was managing the affairs of the royal palace and other events, one of her duties was overseeing the arrangements of the security, like visiting and overseeing the training of the royal knights and assigning them to different duties and posts.

She may not have been familiar with the White Storm, but she was able to adjust since she had that experience.

Marceline looked over the ship as many were firing toward the remainder of the pirates who had been on the remains of their ship and those who had jumped into the sea.

Her black eyes narrowed slightly as she felt the thrill of being in such an environment and experiencing such things outside of what she was used to inside the palace walls. "So this is the White Storm... the rumours surrounding them were true."

There was a little amazement in her voice as she spoke to herself in a quieter tone, which showed her surprise at everything she had been involved with so far.

Watching the royal knights and gunners perform their duties from the positions she was in under their protection was very different from how the White Storm operated.

Those who were from the White Storm were in a completely different league compared to most other places, and it was a different experience when at sea rather than being on land.

If she had the knights take on such a threat, then there would have been some form of damage being done to the ship, and there would have been casualties, but the White Storm did not suffer a single loss.

More time passed by as they continued on their journey and rarely encountering other ships that were passing by.

Not all of them were hostile, so it was quite safe for them to travel until they finally arrived at their destination.

Aizah and Marceline soon arrived at a building where they entered quite discreetly.

They contacted the building in advance so that they could be received in a low-key manner rather than showing up and drawing attention to themselves in a high-profile manner.

They were welcomed inside with a single escort who had decent access to the building, as they were shown around.

The insides of each of the rooms could be seen through the window on the door of each room as they peeked inside.

There was a room where several people were exercising as they did a variety of different things, like yoga and stretches.

In another room were many who were practicing different dance moves as they followed the instructions step by step.

The other rooms had others who were practicing singing, acting and poses.
