"The greatest ship in the world is one that possesses a ship spirit."
Franky looked at the Pirate Crew's ship excitedly.
Did I build a Pirate Crew's ship with a ship spirit?
But Teacher Tom said that only when crew members and the ship love each other can a ship spirit possibly appear.
A new ship, by all accounts, shouldn't have a ship spirit.
"Could it be?" Franky looked incredulously at Kevin, who had just boarded the ship.
It was the moment he boarded the ship that the ship spirit appeared.
To make a ship spirit appear in just one second, that's impossible!
Franky felt his worldview collapsing.
...
Kevin expressed his gratitude to them.
After bidding farewell to Franky and his junior, who were still in a daze, the ship sailed out of the dock and appeared on the vast ocean.
The true journey began.
"Depart!"
On the new ship, everyone showed varying degrees of excitement.
"Kevin, what is our Pirate Crew's ship called?" Gyon looked at the empty flagpole.
A Pirate Crew, a Pirate Crew's name, and a Pirate Crew's flag represent the honor of the pirates and are indispensable.
"Black Hair Pirate Crew?" Hancock suggested.
Her gaze was fixed on Kevin's messy black hair.
Kevin's mouth twitched slightly.
Boa Sandersonia: "The most powerful Pirate Crew on the sea is the Whitebeard Pirates. The captain's beard... No Beard Pirate Crew?"
Kevin's mouth twitched sharply.
"Hundred Beauties Pirate Crew?" Gyon also offered her opinion.
The goal is to gather a hundred members, all of whom are female.
Kevin's face darkened a bit.
If the Hundred Beauties Pirate Crew's name got out, who knows how people would slander me, the captain who leads a hundred beauties.
"Handsome Guy Pirate Crew?" Hancock thought of another name.
She gazed at Kevin infatuatedly.
She could never get enough of looking at him.
"Alright," Kevin couldn't hold back anymore.
If he let them keep thinking, who knew what bizarre names would appear.
They stared at Kevin blankly, anticipating the Pirate Crew's name.
Kevin frowned in thought.
In the future, the Pirate Crew would have a structure of one man and many women.
Gyon?
"Not suitable at all." Kevin shook his head, then suddenly saw the blazing sun hanging in the sky: "The sun... Sun? Sun and Moon... Sun and Moon Pirates."
He had it.
"Sun and Moon Pirates."
Hancock and Gyon muttered the name of the Sun and Moon.
"Kevin, does it have any meaning? Does it represent your dream?" Tao Tu Gyon asked curiously.
"I represent the Sun, and you represent the Moon. When we combine, we become the Sun and Moon."
The Pirate Crew's name also included himself.
Hancock and the others felt a sense of belonging, wanting to dedicate everything to the Pirate Crew.
Kevin wrote the name on the black flag.
"Sun and Moon....Tomorrow!"
The black flag with red characters represented the Pirate Crew's flag.
"This ship is the Tomorrow. Tomorrow, depart!" Kevin waved his hand, and the Tomorrow set off, quickly moving away from Water 7.
"The ship… it moved on its own?"
Hancock and the others watched in astonishment as their ship sailed by itself.
No one was controlling it.
"This is a ship spirit. It can control the ship to move forward on its own, and if the ship is damaged, the ship spirit can even help repair it."
Hancock and the others gasped in amazement.
Gyon, who had heard of ship spirits before, looked at Kevin with confusion.
"That's strange. We grew up together, and I know everything about you, I've seen every part of you… How is it that you have so many secrets now, Kevin?" Gyon reached out and ran her hands over Kevin's body.
"That's because you haven't explored deeply enough," Kevin raised an eyebrow.
"Alright then, tonight I'll explore deeply."
"...?"
....
"Gyon, do you have an Eternal Pose for Enies Lobby?" Kevin asked.
Water 7 is very close to Enies Lobby.
They are two adjacent islands.
During his ten days in Water 7, Kevin also gathered information, and with the intelligence from Shaki, he gained some understanding of the situation and events on the Grand Line.
Tomorrow.
Enies Lobby will be prosecuting a group of criminals.
These are slaves that the Marines have been diligently capturing over the past half-month, slaves who escaped from the Holy Land.
Many were caught by the Marines.
They will be sent to Enies Lobby, given fabricated notorious reputations, and then announced to the world, thereby restoring the lost dignity of the World Government.
Since they are already in Water 7.
Kevin doesn't mind making a trip to Enies Lobby.
Enies Lobby is one of the three major institutions under the World Government, the weakest in strength, and the easiest to deal with.
Yet, its reputation is immense.
It's simply the best place to rack up achievement points.
And while he's there, he can let the Grand Line get to know the Sun and Moon Pirates, and its members, especially Tao Tu Gyon.
...
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
"How is Sakazuki's situation?"
"Sakazuki has not yet found the target, but he has captured many Pirates who left Fish-Man Island. These Pirates all said that they did not find any trace of Kevin on Fish-Man Island."
Sengoku smiled: "Kevin must be hiding inside Fish-Man Island, collaborating with Fish-Man Tiger to infiltrate. He has a very close relationship with Fish-Man Island, so it's normal for Fish-Man Island to help hide him. He will come out sooner or later."
"Let Sakazuki continue his mission, continue to wait. He will come out eventually."
"Yes!"
Sengoku stared grimly at Kevin's photo, which had kept him restless for some time, and slammed his fist on the photo: "If you have the guts, stay hidden in Fish-Man Island forever. As long as you dare to come out, you're dead."
