"Forget it, let's just leave it at that for now. It's unrealistic to search for a Devil Fruit and a person in the vast Sea."
"Then let Shakky help me keep an eye out for some special islands. For now, I can only rely on the pressure of the Sea to temper myself."
Nox said helplessly.
After another week of sailing, they finally reached the vicinity of the Calm Belt.
"Nox, we're here!"
"The companion who will take us through the Calm Belt next is this one."
Shakky pointed to a gigantic Sea snake that suddenly appeared in front of them.
This Sea snake was dark red all over, with a body length of over a hundred meters, as massive as a Sea King, fully capable of dragging this ship through the Calm Belt.
"This snake is too big, isn't it? Will it really pull our ship? It won't eat us as food, right?"
This was Bullet's first time seeing such a large snake, and he heard that this snake would drag their ship to sail.
This was simply unbelievable for the inexperienced Bullet.
"Don't worry, this is the helper invited by the Captain's wife, nothing will happen."
Kano patted Bullet on the shoulder and said.
These days, both Shakky and Lesley were called the Captain's wife.
As for this title, Lesley and Shakky didn't object anyway.
"Red Python, let's go!"
Shakky was very familiar with the Red Python, so she could control it, making it drag the ship beneath their feet into the Calm Belt.
"It's moving, it's really moving. It can actually control a giant python to pull the ship. It's amazing."
Kyle was very surprised when he saw the ship beneath his feet start to move.
"There is no wind blowing in the Calm Belt, so the ship cannot be propelled by sails. To cross the Calm Belt, currently, we can only rely on Sea Kings to pull the ship through."
"There are many Sea Kings inhabiting the Calm Belt. Even though the Red Python also has the aura of a Sea King, it's not guaranteed that other Sea Kings won't come to attack our ship."
Shakky said solemnly. Crossing the Calm Belt is very dangerous for many people.
"Don't worry, they're just Sea Kings. As long as they aren't those kilometer-class Sea Kings, I can suppress them."
Nox said confidently.
Even in the Calm Belt, those kilometer-class Sea Kings generally don't appear on the surface of the Sea, but rather in the deep Sea, because there is nothing for them to eat on the surface.
"Splash!!!"
However, not long after they entered the Calm Belt, a giant Sea King appeared in front of them. It was a shark with a body length of about three hundred meters.
Its body was submerged in the seawater, its massive dorsal fin rising high, and it was rushing towards them at high speed. If it collided with them, their entire ship would be split in two by that dorsal fin.
"This, this is a shark!!!"
Bullet and Kyle, the two young ones, saw such a terrifying scene the first time they went out to Sea.
Immediately, they both quietly ran to Kano's side. Only by coming to Kano did they feel some sense of security.
"You two little ones, you have to believe in Senior Brother. There's no need to be afraid!"
Kano said calmly.
But in fact, his heart wasn't much different from the two kids, Bullet.
He was a Devil Fruit user. If the ship was destroyed, he would be dead. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
However, as an older brother, he couldn't show it in front of the kids, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
"Get lost!!!"
Nox, standing at the bow of the ship, unleashed his blood-red Haoshoku Haki like a shockwave towards the front. Immediately, the calm Sea became turbulent with surging waves.
And the shark, which was originally rushing over to enjoy a meal, was instantly stunned by the Haoshoku Haki.
It was like a hundred-meter-wide giant hammer suddenly smashing into its head, almost turning it into an old senile shark.
"Splash splash!!!"
After being impacted by Nox's Haoshoku Haki, the Sea King shark no longer dared to approach Nox and immediately plunged into the Sea, fleeing away.
"Phew!!!"
"Finally safe. The Captain was really amazing just now!"
Bullet saw the blood-red massive aura that erupted from Nox just now and was immediately deeply attracted. He desperately wished he could also possess such powerful strength.
"That's Haoshoku Haki, an innate powerful aura, a symbol of the strong. It can be used to intimidate enemies, and it can also be used to knock out enemies. Wherever Haoshoku Haki passes, all weak enemies will be intimidated!"
"Before, Senior Brother used this Haoshoku Haki to knock out the armies of those kingdoms. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of soldiers were not a threat in front of Senior Brother. Wherever Haoshoku Haki passed, no one could stand!"
Kano said with admiration. This kind of king's disposition is something many people envy, of course, including him.
Unfortunately, he himself did not have this disposition.
"Haoshoku Haki, the disposition of a king? I will definitely have it in the future!"
Hearing Kano say this, a deep seed was planted in Bullet's heart.
Sailing in the Calm Belt, there is always a possibility of attracting attacks from Sea Kings.
So Nox didn't continue to train in the deep Sea but instead, for a rare moment, lay on a beach chair and leisurely enjoyed the sun with Lesley and Shakky.
"Nox, what do you think our child should be named after they are born?"
Shakky and Lesley touched their bulging bellies, their eyes filled with the radiance of maternal love.
By their estimation, they were both six or seven months pregnant now and would give birth in three or four months. They needed to think of nice names for their child.
"The eldest son will be named Gaenie, and the eldest daughter will be named Esdeath."
Nox himself wasn't good at coming up with nice names. If he were to name them, it would definitely be a useless name.
So he simply didn't think of one himself. Anyway, he used to really like the character Gaenie from Qin's Moon, and also Esdeath from Akame ga Kill.
Since there were ready-made ones, he was too lazy to think.
"Gaenie, Esdeath. Both names sound pretty good. I didn't expect you, Nox, to have quite a few ideas for names."
Shakky and Lesley were both quite satisfied with these two names.
"After our child are born, before returning to the Rocks Pirates, I want to send the child to Amazon Lily to live."
Shakky suddenly said seriously.
She didn't want her and Nox's child to live in a chaotic and evil place like the Rocks Pirates.
It was too dangerous there. They couldn't even protect themselves sometimes, let alone a newborn child.
