"Monster!" Hearing Genos's words, Daz Bones couldn't help but whisper. His own injuries had not yet healed. If the injury was as severe as the one Genos had just suffered, it would take him at least a week to recover.
"I'm afraid only Genos would dare to use this kind of recoil."
"Let me try it." Rhodes reached out and took the gun from Genos. After weighing it for a moment, he aimed at the sea and pulled the trigger again.
Boom!!! The horrific impact struck the sea again.
"It's a powerful impact!" Feeling the power of the gun again, Rhodes nodded slightly. The power of this gun is very strong! Its attack power is not as strong as that of Ghost Spider, but it should be stronger than the Bastille we encountered before. However, correspondingly, the recoil is also very large, probably more than half of the power of the shot. For someone physically strong enough to withstand this kind of recoil, even a punch from them can be more powerful than a gunshot. However, those who need this gun to increase their attack power do not have the physique to withstand the recoil. Overall, it can only be regarded as a failed weapon design.
"It almost hurt me." Rhodes stretched out his hand and made a gesture with his thumb and index finger. After taking a look at Rhodes's unchanged arm, Genos glanced at Daz Bones. Who is the monster after all?
"Take out your treasure!" After watching Genos's new weapon, Penguin and his companions hurriedly pulled Gray into his laboratory and started looking through the various things he had designed before. There were indeed many designs that amazed them, but, just as Gray said, many of them had various problems and could only be called failures.
"I really shouldn't have too high expectations." Penguin looked disappointed.
"Very impressive!" Bepo was dressed in red and blue armor, posing in various poses. "Very handsome, okay!"
"But this is just a layer of iron." Penguin knocked on Bepo's armor. This was also Gray's half-finished design. He originally wanted to design it into a wearable combat armor, but the energy problem had not been solved. According to estimates, the current energy could only support 3 minutes of combat. Moreover, even if it was connected to the energy currently available, it was impossible to drive the mecha normally, and it would simply cause the mecha to disintegrate in an instant. According to Gray himself, the strength of the material of the mecha was not enough, and he was currently researching new materials.
"But it's handsome!" As he spoke, Bepo posed in a few more poses. "I am the new sea warrior, the hero Bepo!"
"That's so old-fashioned! Bepo!"
"Sorry…"
"It should be the six-colored warriors of Germa!"
Arrival at Lavis and Splitting Up
"I can see the island!" Just as several people were goofing around, Neru's voice suddenly came, making them stop instantly.
"It's finally here!" Several people rushed to the deck again and looked at the shadow of the island emerging in the distance. "The entertainment capital, Lavis!"
As the Polaris approached, everyone on board could already feel the warm atmosphere coming from the island. Even near the coast of the island, you could hear all kinds of laughter coming from the island.
"Marvelous!" Looking at the figures on the island from afar, Penguin and Shachi became excited.
"Neru!" Nia suddenly turned her head and looked at Neru with burning eyes.
"What's wrong?" The sudden fiery gaze was a bit too much for Neru to bear.
"Can your Observation Haki predict the future?"
"Although I'm not very good at it, I can still do it." Although Neru possessed a natural Observation Haki, his Observation Haki was more inclined towards perception. He wasn't particularly good at predicting things.
"Since it's called the Entertainment Capital, there must be casinos!" A dazzling light burst from Nia's eyes. "Go and kill them all!"
"Good idea!" Before Neru could say anything, Rhodes laughed and high-fived Nia to agree.
"We want to go too!" Penguin and Shachi raised their hands.
"I need to go buy some supplies. There's not much food left on the ship," Minina said while counting on her fingers. With her, a skilled chef, on board, the food was consumed significantly faster.
"Then let's go shopping with Minina!" Penguin and Shachi changed their words instantly, standing on Minina's left and right, looking like flower protectors.
"That's great. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the things back by myself." Minina smiled brightly at the two of them.
"Ah! So cute!"
"I will definitely protect you, Sister Minina!" Seeing the smile on Minina's face, Penguin and Shachi were instantly excited.
"I won't go," Genos thought for a moment and spoke. "There are all kinds of people here, so I'll stay on the boat to watch over it. Also, Bones hasn't recovered yet, so he should stay on the boat with me." Although this is a famous entertainment capital, even the Navy cannot act rashly here. However, in such a chaotic and complicated place, you still have to be a little careful.
Daz Bones nodded. His body was still wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, which were wrapped around him by Bepo. His injuries had basically recovered, but Bepo still wrapped him in layer upon layer of bandages. Besides, he wanted to visit the island.
"OK." In the end, Daz Bones just uttered two words. We must protect the Polaris well. This is also an important task entrusted to me by my partners! Daz Bones thought so in his heart.
"I'm going to see if there are any special medical books on the island. Some medicines and materials also need to be replenished." As he spoke, Law glanced at the thick bandages wrapped around Daz Bones. The bandages are almost used up…
"I'll go with Law!" Bepo stood next to Law. He is Robin's certified 'White Bear Ship Doctor', so he needs to learn some medical knowledge.
"You guys are going to the bookstore too, so I'll go with you." Robin followed up. Although it is an entertainment capital, there should still be some bookstores on the island. I wonder if there are any interesting ancient books here.
"Then I'll join you." Gray hesitated for a moment and then followed suit. He had no interest in going to the casino, and staying to watch the ship was too boring. He couldn't do much to purchase supplies. After all, I should go to the bookstore with Law and the others. Maybe you can find some interesting literature.
"Woof woof~~" Sissi ran to Robin's feet and circled her twice.
"You can come with us too." Robin squatted down, touched Sissi's head, and then looked at Genos.
"Then please take Sissi with you. She is also feeling very uncomfortable on the boat."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the Polaris, the crew enjoys a brief respite before arriving at Lavis, the entertainment capital. Gray unveils a powerful, recoil-heavy gun for Genos, which, despite its destructive force, highlights a major design flaw that only Genos's rapid healing can mitigate. Other half-finished inventions, like a combat armor for Bepo, also reveal design challenges. As they reach Lavis, the crew excitedly plans their shore leave: Rhodes and Nia aim for the casinos, Minina, Penguin, and Shachi head for supplies, while Law, Bepo, Robin, and Gray, with Sissi, set off for medical books and bookstores. Genos and Daz Bones remain behind to guard the ship.
With the Rhodes Pirates splitting up to enjoy Lavis, what kind of chaotic or entertaining situations will each group encounter in the bustling city? Will the city's "no fighting" rule hold, or will their reputation lead to unexpected confrontations?
