The crowd couldn't hide their curiosity.
Although they recognized the crew members being introduced, Kronos still took the opportunity to formally speak.
"Let me introduce you properly."
"This is Albedo, this is Banggu, and this is Senju Hashirama."
Kronos pointed at each of them in turn, giving a brief introduction.
Then, he turned his gaze to Asaac and the other handymen.
"Don't shout on the ship next time. It easily leads to misunderstandings."
Hearing this, Asaac immediately bowed his head in shame and replied, "Yes!"
Seeing that, Kronos didn't say anything more. He waved his hand at the crowd.
"Alright, that's enough. Dismissed!"
With that, Kronos turned and started to leave.
However, just after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something. He stopped, turned his head slowly, and called out:
"Banggu, Yuanyi!"
The two turned toward him, a bit puzzled.
"What's the matter, Captain?"
Kronos raised a hand and pointed at Asaac and the other handymen.
"You two, help train them!"
"As long as you don't kill them or cripple them, it's fine."
"If they're beaten half to death, just call Hashirama for healing!"
Hearing that, Asaac, Populun, Kent, and Vians all trembled with fear.
But they had no chance to protest.
Upon hearing the captain's order, Banggu and Yuanyi both nodded and responded calmly.
"Understood, Captain."
Leaving the deck, Kronos returned to his bedroom.
He then checked his personal status panel.

At this time, the sea was calm.
The ship flying the Kamui Pirates' flag was heading toward the Sabaody Archipelago.
The reason? Due to a lack of precise coordinates during their departure from Marineford, the teleportation had gone slightly off-course—placing them on a random pirate ship instead.
After two days at sea, the Kamui Pirates finally reached the Sabaody Archipelago and recovered their original ship at Dock 33.
Without any major delays or repairs, the crew set sail once more—this time, toward Fish-Man Island.
Deep beneath the ocean surface, their coated ship continued its descent.
For many crew members, this unique undersea voyage was a first—and it sparked quite a bit of curiosity.
"So… this is what the bottom of the sea looks like?"
On the ship's deck, Artoria stared in awe at the countless schools of fish swimming around them.
It was at this moment that Gojo Satoru let out a loud laugh.
"Ha! Look, Captain! That's one huge fish!"
Kronos followed his gaze.
He saw Gojo Satoru pointing at a group of three-headed Sea Kings swimming in the distance.
Artoria's eyes sparkled.
She moved closer to the edge of the deck, lifted her head, and gasped in wonder.
"Incredible!! Is that a whale, Captain?!"
Kronos chuckled and shook his head.
"No, those aren't whales. Those are Sea Kings—creatures unique to this world."
"Sea Kings?" Albedo glanced at Kronos in surprise.
He nodded and gave a brief explanation.
"Sea Kings are all massive in size. Think of them as the overlords of the ocean."
Meanwhile, not far from Mermaid Street, in the deep sea—
A coated pirate ship was fleeing in panic.
"Hurry! Row faster!"
"I don't know when the pursuers will catch up! Put your backs into it!"
"The deep-sea currents are hard to control, Captain!"
"That's why we had to modify the ship into an external wheel type!"
Onboard the fleeing ship—crewed entirely by humans—the captain was desperately directing his men.
Just then, a shout came from the second floor of the ship.
"Captain! Look ahead—there's something in the water!"
Startled, the captain looked up—and his face went pale.
The last thing he wanted to see had appeared before them.
No—more precisely, it was someone he didn't want to see.
"A mermaid…? No—it's them!! Officers of the New Fish-Man Pirates!"
His pupils shrank with fear.
"That's Dothan... and the cadre Icarus is here too?!"
Deep in the water, dozens of armed fish-men hovered menacingly around the ship.
"Tch… Looks like they haven't learned their lesson," Dothan sneered.
Floating beside him, Icarus scoffed.
"Hmph! Humans are always trying to run."
Dothan turned to him and grinned.
"Shall we make an example of them again? These humans have gotten too bold lately."
Icarus grinned cruelly in response.
"Fine by me!"
"Let's kill them all. Slice their flesh."
"Let everyone else see the consequences of running from us!!"
With that, Icarus pointed his weapon at the human ship.
The next second, the fish-men warriors surged forward like torpedoes.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Boom! Boom!!"
A fierce battle between humans and fish-men was about to begin.
But what they didn't know—
Not far from the battlefield, another pirate ship was slowly sailing in their direction.
